HARSHA Question by HARSHA on Jun 11, 2025

Sir i am getting cse at nit patna and cse in other below nirf ranking nits as well as i am getting electrical in iit jammu and i am getting instrumentation and controlling in nit trichy .what can have a good scope in future and what will you recommended to take .will it be beneficial to go towards software side or to stay at core branches

Ans: Harsha, Your options present distinct advantages with NIT Patna CSE achieving 89.6% placement rate consistently across 2023-2024, while NIT Trichy Instrumentation Control Engineering maintains 100% placement rate in M.Tech ISE programs with overall 88.9% UG placement rate. IIT Jammu Electrical Engineering shows 70.8% overall placement rate with 68.1% BTech placement rate, though the IIT brand provides significant prestige value. The software engineering sector demonstrates exceptional growth with 22% demand increase projected for 2025, creating 9-10 lakh additional jobs across banking, telecom, and healthcare sectors, while core engineering faces declining opportunities as IT companies now prefer coding-proficient candidates offering higher packages to CSE graduates. CSE continues dominating as the most demanded branch in 2025 with dynamic careers in AI, software development, and data analytics, whereas core branches like Instrumentation require pivoting to software-oriented roles for better prospects. NIT Trichy's superior NIRF ranking (9th position) compared to NIT Patna (55th position) and IIT Jammu's newer establishment (2016) with declining placement trends from 85% to 70.8% further influence this decision. Recommendation: Choose NIT Trichy Instrumentation and Control Engineering for its excellent placement record and prestigious institution ranking, while simultaneously developing strong coding skills to leverage software opportunities and maintain flexibility for both core and IT career paths. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Sir, My daughter passed 12th BIPC with 98% and NEET Score 470 under general category in Telangana. As we are not sure to get a chance in A category seat in govt mbbs colleges and my daughter is not willing to retake neet. Kindly advise what career to pursue for a best future. Can she take a gap year to pursue Mathematics for MPC or IISC. Please advise.
Ans: Congratulations to your daughter — scoring 98% in 12th and 470 in NEET is no small achievement. She has worked hard, and it clearly shows.
since her NEET score may not be enough for a government MBBS seat under general category, and she’s not willing to take another drop, it’s wise to explore other good options.
If she wants to completely shift to MPC stream and try for IISc or engineering, it's possible — but she must be very sure. Learning higher-level Maths after BIPC is not easy unless she’s truly interested and ready to put in a year of effort just for the change.
Also, IISc Bangalore is highly competitive — even students from MPC struggle to get in. So this option should be chosen only if she has a deep interest in math and science research.
Best Alternative Career Options After BIPC (Without Dropping Again):
1. BPharm / PharmD – Good scope in pharma companies, research, or higher studies abroad.
2. BSc (Life Sciences / Biotechnology / Microbiology / Genetics) – Leading to research, ICMR, CSIR, MSc, or jobs in labs/industries.
3. BSc Nursing – High demand in India and abroad. Solid career path with good job security.
4. Allied Health Sciences (Physiotherapy, Radiology, Optometry, etc.) – Excellent demand in hospitals and private sector.
5. BAMS / BHMS / BPT – Alternative medicine but well-established options.
6. BSc Food Technology / Nutrition / Agriculture – Also growing fields with research, government, and industry jobs.

Sir ,my son is likely to B Tec CSE in both manipal university, Jaipur and SRM AP Which is the best of the two in terms of facuty,lab,industry internships,future campus placements ,permanent jobs and good packages
Ans: Between Manipal University Jaipur and SRM University AP, both are upcoming private universities, but there are some key differences that can help you decide based on what matters most.
SRM University – AP
• Faculty & Labs: Good focus on research, AI/ML, and some international collaborations (with UC Berkeley, MITx, etc.). Labs are modern and industry-oriented.
• Internships & Exposure: Since it’s located near Amaravati, it has strong focus on tech and innovation. They actively support internships and student projects.
• Placements: For CSE, the university is putting in a lot of effort. Some top companies like Amazon, Infosys, etc., have started coming, and a few students have received high packages too.
• Overall: SRM AP is newer but aggressive in building its brand, especially for CSE.
Manipal University – Jaipur
• Faculty & Labs: Well-established campus with decent faculty and good infrastructure.
• Internships: Slightly less aggressive compared to SRM AP but still offers industry exposure. Location-wise, not as close to tech hubs, but opportunities are there if the student is proactive.
• Placements: Consistent placements for CSE, but average packages may be slightly lower than what SRM AP is trying to achieve.
• Overall: A more stable, structured environment with a longer track record.

Sir, My son has secured a seat in PES RR campus and Manipal (Udupi campus and Bangalore campus) for AY 2025. Branch in all locations is CSE. Kindly advise which one is better from the perspective of - academic clubs, placements and post-grad opportunities. Thanks
Ans: Congratulations to your son on getting admission to such good colleges.
Since the branch is CSE in all three, here’s a simple comparison based on what most parents and students look for:
PES University – RR Campus (Bangalore)
• Placements: One of the best in Bangalore. Strong industry connections. Top companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and Infosys do visit.
• Academic Rigor: Quite structured and disciplined. Good faculty and regular exams.
• Clubs & Exposure: Has some good tech clubs and coding events, though overall student life is more academic-focused.
• Post-Grad Prospects: Good alumni network, many students go abroad or into top MNCs.
Manipal Institute of Technology – Udupi Campus
• Placements: Very decent, especially for CSE. Average packages slightly lower than PES, but big companies do come.
• Clubs & Campus Life: Very vibrant. Excellent tech, innovation, and cultural clubs. Great all-round student life.
• Academics: Flexible curriculum, choice-based credit system.
• Post-Grad Prospects: Strong reputation globally. Good number of students go abroad for MS.
Manipal – Bangalore Campus (MITB)
• Still relatively new, so placements and campus infrastructure are still developing.
• Might not have the same exposure or club culture yet as the Udupi campus.
• But it’s in Bangalore — so internships and tech exposure can be better if the student is proactive.

Sir, I have done my CSE AIML 1st and 2nd semesters in Marwadi University, Rajkot, Gujarat. But due to my health issues and other personal issues I want to join some other universities in banglore, near my home itself from 2nd year , and I have visited few colleges such as Reva university and Ramaiah university regarding change of college they accepted, but the fee structure is too high, can you please help me by letting me know which other universities I can opt for, thank you.
Ans: I understand your situation — your health and personal comfort are very important, and it’s good that you’re looking for colleges closer to home in Bangalore.
It’s also great that Reva and Ramaiah have accepted your transfer, but yes, the fees in private universities can sometimes be on the higher side. Since you’re looking for more affordable options, here are a few suggestions you can explore:
1. Government or Government-Aided Colleges (VTU-affiliated)
These usually have much lower fees compared to private universities. Some colleges you can look at:
• BMS College of Engineering (autonomous, but more reasonable)
• Dr. Ambedkar Institute of Technology
• RV Institute of Technology & Management (not RVCE, this is the newer one)
• Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering (DSCE) – Fee is still lower than universities like Ramaiah.
• Siddaganga Institute of Technology, Tumkur – Slightly outside Bangalore but still a good option.
2. Colleges under VTU (Visvesvaraya Technological University)
3. Check for Scholarships or Fee Concessions
