Sir sastra Thanjavur cse(AIDS) , Vit vellore cse , manipal benguluru cse Which is better
Ans: Charan, All three programs are NBA- and NAAC-accredited with modern AI/ML, data-science, and software-engineering labs and strong industry partnerships. SASTRA Thanjavur reports an 83% overall UG placement rate (1684/1920 in 2024) with a median package of ?7.6 LPA, driven by recruiters like Morgan Stanley, Infosys, and Reliance; it benefits from dedicated Bajaj BEST and research centers. VIT Vellore achieves 85–90% placement consistency, with 867 companies offering 7,526 offers in 2024, an average package of ?9.9 LPA, and ABET accreditation for its CSE program. Manipal Bengaluru (MAHE) CSE records an 81% branch placement rate, average CSE package of ?13.1 LPA, and 73% overall placement, supported by 220+ recruiters and a robust Career Development Centre. Faculty at all three are predominantly PhD-qualified, with SASTRA and VIT holding top national rankings (SASTRA NIRF-75 Engineering; VIT NIRF-10 Universities), while MAHE Bengaluru offers strong metropolitan industry exposure.

Final recommendation: For highest average CSE packages and metropolitan placements, recommendation is Manipal Bengaluru CSE. For balanced ROI with strong AI labs and national prestige, choose VIT Vellore CSE. If mid-tier median packages, research centers, and specialized AI & DS focus are priorities, opt for SASTRA Thanjavur CSE (AI & DS). All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

My son is admitted in IIT Jammu for MTech in Bio Sciences and Bio Engineering with specialisation in Medical Equipment. Is this a right choice for his placement after MTech. Or he should persue a PhD program later.
Ans: Kuldeep Sir, IIT Jammu’s new BSBE department (est. 2021) boasts interdisciplinary research in medical devices, bioelectronics, AI-driven healthcare, and 3D bioprinting with state-of-the-art labs such as biomedical instrumentation and computational biology. The MTech cohort achieved a 78.6% placement rate in 2024, with a median package of ?9.15 LPA and top recruiters spanning medical-device firms and healthcare consultancies. India’s medical-device market is projected to reach ?88 320 cr, driving demand for engineers skilled in design, regulatory affairs, and clinical engineering across PSUs and MNCs such as Siemens Healthcare, Medtronic, and GE Healthcare. While an MTech provides strong industry entry and practical exposure, a PhD opens roles in R&D leadership, regulatory policy, and academia—with higher long-term earning potential but delayed earnings.

Recommendation: For immediate industry entry with solid placement prospects in medical-device design and clinical engineering, recommendation is to pursue IIT Jammu MTech in Medical Equipment. If aiming for advanced R&D leadership, regulatory strategy, or a career in academia, consider enrolling in a PhD after gaining 1–2 years of industry experience. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: MIT Manipal’s four?year B.Tech CSE is NBA and NAAC?accredited, taught by 120+ PhD?qualified faculty in specialised AI/ML, cybersecurity, IoT and software?engineering labs, on a Wi-Fi campus with Innovation Centre and global exchange.

Dual-degree students compete for BE-CSE seats after Year 1 based on CGPA, adding flexibility for a software career.

Hello Sir, my son is interested towards robotics and he has two options to choose from MUJ CSE ( we anticipated Mech or automobile engg in MIT main branch, however landed into CSE) and VIT AP Mechanical Robotics IN Cat 1. Considering his interests, ROI and overall industry trend, what is your advice ?
Ans: Vikash Sir, Manipal University Jaipur (MUJ) CSE offers an industry-aligned curriculum, 88–93% placement rates, and top recruiters like Amazon, Microsoft, and Bosch, with strong interdisciplinary options in robotics and AI. While MUJ’s CSE is highly valued for software careers, it also allows minors or electives in robotics and AI, supporting a shift toward automation and intelligent systems. VIT-AP Mechanical (Robotics), NAAC A++ accredited, is a newer program with dedicated robotics labs, mechatronics, and a placement record of 90% in 2024, but its industry connections and alumni network are still developing. Robotics engineering as a field is booming in India, with major growth in automation, manufacturing, and AI-driven sectors, but most roles now require strong programming, AI, and data skills in addition to mechanical expertise.

Recommendation: For the best return on investment (ROI), industry relevance, and flexibility to pursue robotics through coding, AI, and automation, choose MUJ CSE. It offers broader career options, strong placements, and the ability to specialize in robotics via electives or projects, matching current and future industry trends. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
