hi i am getting cse with specialization in data science at pec chandigarh and i am also getting nit jalandhar data science..what should i take?

Ans: Hi
if you value the NIT tag and are thinking long-term (e.g., MS abroad, national-level placements), then NIT Jalandhar has the edge.

prefer PEC if You want better exposure to IT companies and startups in the Chandigarh-Mohali region.

If you want better better package immediately at the placements then PEC will be a better choice. Avg package is around 2L higher here.

Question by mohd - Jun 30, 2025

Career

Dear sir, what should be first preference. Cse at nit patna or data science at nit jalandhar

Ans: Mohd, NIT Patna CSE offers a robust academic environment with NAAC A++ accreditation, experienced faculty, modern computing labs, and strong industry partnerships. The CSE branch consistently achieves 89–95% placement rates, with over 200 recruiters and an average package of ?9.9 LPA in 2025. NIT Jalandhar’s Data Science program is newer, but the institute maintains a good reputation, 70–80% placement rates, and increasing industry attention for its data-centric curriculum. Both institutes offer NBA-accredited programs, but NIT Patna’s CSE has a longer track record, more established alumni, and higher placement consistency. Student reviews rate NIT Patna higher for placements, faculty, and value for money, while NIT Jalandhar’s data science specialization is emerging but less proven at UG level.

recommendation: Choose NIT Patna CSE for its superior placement track record, established curriculum, and industry recognition; prefer NIT Jalandhar Data Science only if you have a strong interest in data-centric careers and are comfortable with a newer program’s evolving reputation. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Question by Amit - May 11, 2026Hindi

Career

Sir, my son has secured 12300+ rank in SRM JEEE 2026 and 70000+ rank in VITEEE. Is there possibility of getting CSE core or CSE AI/ ML in SRM KTR campus... Also pls share that what options I can get in VIT Chennai on this rank ( VIT Vellore seems very tough to get on this rank)...What branch should I fill as preference in VIT Chennai... I can get CSE core in VIT AP but not willing to join there... So should I prefer KTR campus with CS or VIT Chennai with branch other than CS ( as I will not get CSE there)...thanks in advance.

Ans: Amit Sir, at SRMJEEE, 12,300+ SRM KTR CSE core is doubtful, but CSE-AI/ML, Data Science, Cloud, Big Data, CSBS, or AI may be possible depending on vacancy/phase. SRM officially offers these KTR CS options.

At VITEEE 70,000+, VIT Chennai CSE/ECE are unlikely. You can fill EEE, Mechanical, Mechatronics/Robotics, Civil, Fashion/Design-related tech options if available in higher categories. Vellore is tougher.

My preference: SRM KTR CS-related branch > VIT Chennai non-CS > VIT-AP CSE, only if there is no objection. Backups you can have are SRM Ramapuram/Vadapalani CS and 4-5 other reputed private colleges in and around your State. All the Best for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Question by niti - May 11, 2026Hindi

Career

My daughter has scored 93.7 percentile in JEE. She has Chandigarh home state quota and is a female candidate. I want to know that if she gets Aerospace, mechanical, civil in Punjab Engineering College, should we take admission there? She is also getting ECE in Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology through Punjab quota, but the fees are a bit high for us. So, if she gets any lower branch in PEC, should we still consider taking admission there, or is there some better college where we should enroll her instead? Among Mit or Thapar which one is best

Ans: Niti Madam, before I answer your question, I would like to suggest that your daughter choose a branch she is genuinely interested in, rather than selecting one just because it is available to her. Now, to answer your question, at the 93.7 percentile, the approximate CRL may be around 95,000–1,05,000. With Chandigarh's home-state quota, PEC lower branches are realistic: JoSAA 2025 PEC HS closing ranks show Civil up to around 1.06 lakh, Aerospace around 55000, and Mechanical likely tougher than Civil. PEC is a government, low-fee, strong-brand, good alumni and Chandigarh location, so Civil/Mechanical/Aerospace at PEC is worth considering if fees are a major concern. Between MIT Manipal and Thapar, choose Thapar ECE if fees are affordable; choose PEC if ROI, lower cost and government tag matter more. Final preference: Thapar ECE > PEC Mechanical > PEC Aerospace > PEC Civil.

However, for placements, Thapar ECE is academically/industry-wise stronger than PEC Civil/Aerospace, but only if the higher fee is manageable. Thapar’s ECE department has its own placement/recruiter ecosystem. All the Best for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future!

Sir i got 12963 rank in AEEE 2026 which branch can i get at amrita i mainly want cse or cse related branches.

Ans: Sricharan, at AEEE rank 12,963, Coimbatore/Bengaluru CSE core is difficult, but you may have chances for CSE-related branches at Amritapuri, Chennai, Amaravati, Faridabad, Nagercoil or Haridwar, depending on fee slab and vacancies. Prioritise CSE specialisations, AI, Cyber Security, Data Science, ECE. Fill maximum CSAP choices. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future!

Question by DASARI - May 11, 2026Hindi

Career

I have scored 84.273 percentile in JEE Main, with a CRL rank of 2.4596 lakh and an EWS category rank of 37,790. My home state is Telangana & i am girl. Could you please tell me which colleges I may get, including both government IIITS & GFTIS.My preparence ECE/EEE?

Ans: Dasari, with CRL 245960 / EWS rank 37790 / Telangana female, NIT ECE/EEE chances are very low. You can try CSAB Special Round seriously. Possible low-probability/backup choices may include GFTIs with lower-demand electrical-related branches, such as Assam University Silchar, Mizoram University, Gurukula Kangri, Sant Longowal Institute, BIT Mesra off-campus, etc., depending on vacancies. For IIITs, ECE may be difficult, but fill newer IIITs where ECE/Smart Manufacturing/Mechatronics-related options exist. Focus also on TS EAMCET/Telangana state counselling, 3-4 reputed private colleges in and around Telangana, and backup branches like EEE, Mechanical, Civil, Chemical, Food/Production (only if you wish). Prefer ECE first, and then EEE. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future!

Question by sireesha - May 11, 2026Hindi

Career

sir...my daughter got 14,700 rank in AEEE. She might get Amrita University, Amaravati campus CSE in category3 . Please share your valuable opinion.

Ans: Sireesha Madam, Amrita Amaravati CSE is a good emerging option, especially if the student is ready to work hard on coding, projects, internships and communication skills. Amrita is a NAAC A++ university and ranked 7th in NIRF University 2025, giving strong brand value. The Amaravati campus is newer, so its alumni network and campus maturity are still developing, but infrastructure is modern and the academic environment is disciplined. CSE benefits from Amrita’s central placement support and industry links; recruiters include major IT/service companies across Amrita campuses. Overall, it is worth considering, but not equal to Coimbatore/Bengaluru in maturity. All the Best for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future!

Question by Sumitha - May 09, 2026Hindi

Career

Sir, my has got 81.84 percentile in JEE MAINS, let me know the focus for this.

Ans: Sumitha Madam, At 81.84 percentile, your ward’s approximate CRL may be around 2.8–3.0 lakh, so NIT/IIIT/GFTI chances for General-Open through JoSAA are very low, especially for CSE/ECE/Mechanical/Civil, because JoSAA 2025/2024 official opening–closing ranks generally close much earlier for Open seats. Still, register for JoSAA and CSAB Special Round, because some lower-demand GFTI branches may remain possible in rare cases. Focus should be: state counselling, 3-4 reputable private universities in and around your State, management/spot rounds, and skill-oriented branches like CSE-allied/IT/ECE where available. All the Best for Your Ward's Prosperous Future!

Question by Kartikeya - May 09, 2026Hindi

Career

Hello sir my viteee rank is 58405 what can I expect.My priority is cse or cse specialization

Ans: At VITEEE rank 58,405, CSE/CSE specialisation at VIT Vellore is very unlikely, even in higher fee categories; recent expected closing trends show Vellore CSE/CSE-specialisation mostly closing far earlier, around 25,500–45,000 depending on branch/category. Chennai CSE-specialisation may also be difficult beyond around 42,000. Your better chances are VIT-AP or VIT Bhopal for CSE, CSE-AI/ML, Data Science, Cyber Security or allied branches, mostly in higher fee categories. VIT counselling uses category-wise fee slabs, and higher rank usually means a higher category fee. Fill choices broadly: VIT-AP CSE specialisations, VIT Bhopal CSE specialisations, then ECE/EEE backups. Have 3-4 backup options of other 3-4 reputed private colleges also. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future!
