Sir My daughter is getting CSE in LNMIT and Electrical in Punjab Engineering College. Which one is better. Please guide.
Ans: Mohinder Sir, The LNM Institute of Information Technology’s B.Tech CSE program is AICTE-approved, NAAC-accredited (CGPA 3.03) and NBA-accredited, delivered by predominantly PhD-qualified faculty across advanced AI/ML, cybersecurity and data-science labs, and achieved 93.9% and 98.7% branch placements over 2022–24 with a median package of ?12 LPA. Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh, a NAAC A+–accredited deemed university established in 1921, offers B.Tech Electrical Engineering taught by research-active PhD faculty in power-electronics, control-systems, renewable energy and robotics labs, supported by dedicated MoUs (e.g., POWERGRID) and internship pipelines; its EE branch recorded 80%, 71% and 70% placement rates from 2021–24, with 86 offers to 123 eligible students in 2023–24. Both institutes maintain comprehensive career cells and industry tie-ups, but LNMIIT’s computing infrastructure and placement consistency outpace PEC’s core-engineering focus.

Final recommendation: For broader software and emerging technology roles with higher placement consistency and specialized computing labs, prioritize LNMIIT CSE. If your daughter’s passion lies in core electrical systems, power electronics and control engineering within a heritage campus and you accept slightly lower placement rates, opt for PEC Chandigarh Electrical Engineering. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Hello sir. I got 92 percentile in mht cet and I am getting mechanical engineering in DYP Akurdi, aissms and MMCOE. Also I have chances for robotics and automation at MIT-WPU. Which one should I opt for ?
Ans: D.Y. Patil College of Engineering Akurdi’s Mechanical Engineering is NBA-accredited and NAAC ‘A’-graded, led by PhD faculty across 15+ workshops and CNC, CAD/CAM, and heat-transfer labs; it records an 80% placement rate over three years with TATA Motors, Ford, and Capgemini campus drives. AISSMS COE Pune’s Mechanical program is NAAC A+ accredited, features modern Fluid Mechanics, Thermal, and Automation labs, and achieved a 61.3% placement rate in 2023 with Infosys, TCS, IBM, and Accenture recruiters. MMCOE’s Mechanical department is NBA-accredited under SPPU, houses SAE-India, ISHRAE, and robotics chapters, emphasizes outcome-based learning, and sustains a 76% average placement rate in core and software roles over the last three years. MIT-WPU’s B.Tech in Mechanical (Robotics & Automation) is NAAC A+ and NIRF-ranked (#101-150), offers dedicated robotics, AI/ML, and automation labs with GPU clusters, guarantees 90% internship conversion, and records a 70% branch placement rate with Deloitte, LG, and L&T.

Recommendation:
For core mechanical engineering with highest placement consistency (80%) and metro connectivity, choose DYP Akurdi Mechanical. If you prioritise industry-linked internships and specialized automation projects, opt for MIT-WPU Robotics & Automation. Otherwise, for balanced infrastructure and solid core-to-software placements, consider MMCOE Mechanical, and for a traditional private-university environment with moderate placements, select AISSMS Pune Mechanical.

All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
