Sir I am getting ECE in PDPU gandhinagar with jee percentile (93.04%ile) and I have also registered for MHTCET counseling and I have interest in electronics. Is it worth it joining PDPU or Go through CET counseling

Ans: Maddy, Pandit Deendayal Energy University’s B.Tech ECE program benefits from A++ NAAC accreditation, AICTE approval, and a dedicated School of Technology with modern RF, VLSI, signal?processing, and communication labs. Its placement cell recorded a 90% B.Tech placement rate over the last three years and an average package of ?7.5 LPA, with recruiters like Google and Amazon. Faculty hold Ph.D. credentials, and the university offers a robust research ecosystem in energy and electronics alongside industry?funded projects, ensuring strong student support and mentorship. By contrast, Maharashtra’s MHT CET counseling can yield seats in premier government institutes such as COEP Pune and VJTI Mumbai—both NAAC A+–accredited—with E&TC closing percentiles above 99.7%ile, nearly 100% placement rates, and average packages often exceeding ?8 LPA, driven by core?sector and IT recruiters. Other reputable CET options include VNIT Nagpur, SPIT Mumbai, and PICT Pune, all offering specialized Electronics & Telecommunication curricula, consistent 85–95% placement rates, active technical societies, and state-of-the-art infrastructure. While PDPU’s private-university autonomy and strong campus hiring are compelling, MHT CET through state counseling unlocks proven government-institute brands and wider core-electronics recruitment for those achieving ≥95%ile.

Recommendation: Given your electronics interest and 93%ile JEE performance, joining PDPU’s ECE ensures immediate admission, strong placements, and research exposure, whereas pursuing MHT CET counseling—targeting VJTI or COEP—offers superior brand equity and core-sector electronics opportunities if you secure ≥99%ile. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!
