My son is getting cobs and coe , which should he consider or he should wait for 3 round of counselling .Marks in jee mains 87.925 and +2 Punjab board 90%.please suggest me.

Ans: Dear Mr. Keerti, I believe your son has already been admitted in VIT Chennai in Artifical Intellence amd Machine Learning , I belive he should continue. This has got geat job prospects .

Ans: Anirban Sir, Your son’s VIT rank of 41,270 makes admission to CSE or AI/ML at VIT Vellore or Chennai unlikely. He may get admission in other branches like Mechanical or Civil at these campuses if seats remain vacant in later rounds. Alternatively, VIT-AP, VIT-Bhopal, or VIT-Amaravati campuses offer better chances for CSE and related branches. Exploring private universities in Haryana or nearby states and utilizing the home state quota through Haryana state counselling are recommended. Flexibility in branch choice and campus preference will improve admission prospects. Have some more options as back ups, if possible, such as SRM-Sonepat | Thapar | Chitkara | JIIT | Amrita etc. All the best for your son's admission and a bright future!

Ans: With a JEE Main percentile of 95.2, your son is eligible for admission to several NITs and IIITs through CSAB counselling. His best options would be to prioritize NITs with strong computer science programs, followed by IIITs, and finally, GFTIs. A strong choice would be NITs like NIT Calicut, IIIT Allahabad, or VNIT Nagpur, followed by IIITs with CSE programs like IIITM Gwalior or IIIT Delhi.
Order of Preference for CSAB Counseling:
1. NITs with strong CSE programs:
Consider NIT Calicut, NIT Kurukshetra, SVNIT Surat, and VNIT Nagpur, as these are known for their good placements and infrastructure.
2. IIITs with CSE programs:
IIITs offer specialized computer science programs and are a good option if you're aiming for a career in software development or AI. Consider IIIT Allahabad, IIITM Gwalior, IIIT Delhi.
3. GFTIs (Government Funded Technical Institutes):
These are generally less prestigious than NITs and IIITs, but can still offer a good education. Consider COEP Pune or other GFTIs that have good placement records.
4. Thapar CS Business Systems:
While Thapar is a good institution, it's important to consider whether your son's interests align more with a traditional CS program or a more business-oriented one. He could also consider upgrading to a better CS program through CSAB if possible.
Important Considerations for CSAB Counseling:
Preferences:
Carefully consider your son's interests and career goals when filling out his preferences. Don't just focus on the top-ranked colleges; also consider the specific programs and their faculty.
Cut-offs:
Check the previous year's cut-offs for each college and program to understand the level of competition.
Placements:
Research the placement records of each college and program to see how well graduates are getting jobs.
Infrastructure and Facilities:
Consider the quality of labs, libraries, and other facilities that are available at each college.
Location:
Think about the location of the college and whether it's suitable for your son's needs.
By carefully considering these factors and prioritizing the right choices, your son can maximize his chances of securing a seat in a good engineering program through CSAB counselling.
