Hi ,my son is getting Industrial engineering in Manipal, manipal campus and Electronics and Computer engineering in Somaiya,we are from Mumbai,what should he choose

Ans: Suresh Sir, Choosing between Industrial Engineering at Manipal and Electronics & Computer Engineering (ECE) at Somaiya depends on career alignment and institutional strengths. Manipal’s Industrial Engineering focuses on Industry 4.0 integration, covering automation, supply chain management, and IIoT, with ABET accreditation, L&T EduTech collaborations, and minors in EV technology, ideal for roles in manufacturing, logistics, or systems optimization. Somaiya’s ECE merges electronics with advanced computing (VLSI, embedded systems, AI/ML), offering Mumbai’s tech ecosystem, NVIDIA labs, and placements in firms like Amazon and Bosch, suited for careers in hardware-software integration or IoT development. While Manipal provides a residential campus experience and lower fees (?8.12L tuition), Somaiya’s Mumbai location ensures proximity to industry hubs and interdisciplinary electives (cybersecurity, robotics). Recommendation: Opt for Somaiya ECE if targeting tech-driven electronics/computing roles with urban opportunities, or Manipal Industrial Engineering for Industry 4.0/system engineering paths with global academic rigor. My suggestion: Prefer KJSCE over Manipal. All the BEST for your Son's Admission & a Prosperous Future!
