My Son got 10328 rank in JEE Advanced and 23367 rank in JEE Mains. We have already provisionally admitted him to SNU Chennai for CSE IOT. Please advice on the following Branch Vs colleges : Is it advisable to take branches like Metallurgy, Biotechnology Bioinformatics,Mechanical, Chemical at New Gen IITs or go for CSE at IIITs or SNU Chennai Is IIT tag more important than branches like CSE and ECE at IIITs and Private Universities?

Ans: Prioritize the branch that aligns with his passion. A good branch can lead to a fulfilling career.
Remember that personal interests and long-term goals matter more than the college tag.
Encourage him to explore his interests and make an informed decision.

If your son is passionate about CSE and IoT, SNU Chennai with its specialized program could be an excellent choice.
IIITs: Known for their strong focus on information technology and computer science.
SNU Chennai: Offers CSE with a specialization in IoT (Internet of Things).
If he prefers a broader range of options, consider IIITs with CSE or ECE branches.

My son has secured 85% in ICSE 12 th board with PCM, Eng n Mass communication. In PCM group he has secured 61% only hence not eligible for BITSAT, could not qualify JEE mains (20percentile). NDA not cleared. Appeared in WBJEE. Result awaited. Thru CUET, he wants to study English literature in the best colleges of India. He is very good at English n secured 98%. He is the only child, we want him to be technical graduate, so that he is employable and can take over from his father, who worked with ALFALAVAL, now has his own techmart company and is a dealer of ALFALAVAL a Swedish MNC in heavy Engg
Ans: Your son’s 98% in English and 85% overall in ICSE align strongly with BA English (Hons) at top CUET colleges like St. Stephen’s College (DU), Lady Shri Ram College, or Christ University, which prioritize language proficiency and holistic profiles. However, to balance technical employability, consider interdisciplinary programs such as BA English with Digital Humanities (DU) or Integrated BA+MA in English (EFLU Hyderabad), supplemented by certifications in technical writing, project management, or business analytics to align with your family’s engineering business. Alternatively, explore BSc in Computer Applications at Ambedkar University Delhi (via CUET’s General Test) or BA Economics with Data Science (JMI), blending analytical skills with humanities. If WBJEE results permit, Jadavpur University’s Comparative Literature offers flexibility to minor in technical electives. Prioritize institutions like DU or Christ University for their industry networks, enabling internships in tech-adjacent roles (content strategy, technical documentation) while maintaining literary rigor. All the BEST for your Son's Admission & a Prosperous Future!
