I have given comedk and got a rank of 44468 and I am about to give bitsat session 2 but I don't think I'll score enough i got 89% in class 12th I am confused should I take drop or admission in a private college.

Ans: Please don’t stress too much.
• You got 89% in boards, which is very good.
• COMEDK rank of 44,468 — you may not get top colleges like RV or BMS with this rank, but you can still get admission in decent private colleges.
• BITSAT session 2 is pending — still give it your best shot, but it’s okay to be realistic.
Take a drop only if:
• You are fully sure you can give your best for 1 more year—no regrets, no pressure.
• You have a clear goal (e.g. aiming for NITs, BITS, IIITs, or a better branch in a better college).
• You’re ready to work hard consistently for the next 10–12 months without losing focus.
Take admission now if:
• You’re not sure if you can go through another year of the same preparation.
• You want to start college, get practical experience, and build skills alongside (like coding, internships, etc.).

I got 39 k rank in comedk should i take admission or take a drop
Ans: Satyam, With a COMEDK rank of 39,000, admission to top-tier CSE programs is unlikely, but viable opportunities exist in reputable second-tier institutions and specialized branches. You can consider the following ten colleges for Computer Science and allied programs, which historically close around your rank:

Sri Jayachamarajendra College of Engineering (CSE closing rank 36,155)

Global Academy of Technology (CSE closing rank 36,561)

CMR Institute of Technology (AIML closing rank 47,001)

Atria Institute of Technology (AIML closing rank 98,519)

PES Institute of Technology and Management (CSD closing rank 45,776)

Cambridge Institute of Technology (AIML closing rank 88,161)

Dr. Ambedkar Institute of Technology (AIML closing rank 67,962)

Nagarjuna College of Engineering and Technology (AIML closing rank 92,821)

AMC Engineering College (AIML closing rank 96,420)

BGS Institute of Technology (AIML closing rank 99,315)

These colleges offer solid placement rates between 80–95% in the last three years and strong industry linkages with IT firms and analytics startups . If you seek immediate entry into engineering with minimal risk, secure admission now; a drop year to improve rank carries uncertainty with exam difficulty and competition. Recommendation: Take admission in one of the above institutions in Computer Science or allied AI/ML streams to ensure a stable engineering trajectory rather than risking another attempt. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
