Ans: VNR VJIET generally has a slight edge in placements, especially in core ECE roles. So go for VNR.

Ans: NO. You will get CSE in Private Engineering Colleges.

Ans: Not that Great. Old NITs are far better than these new IITs.

Ans: With a SRMJEEE rank of 12556, it's unlikely you'll get CSE with AI/ML at the SRM NCR campus (Sonipat). The cutoff for CSE in the NCR campus is generally lower than the main campus in Kattankulathur. While the exact cutoff for your preferred branch and campus isn't specified, ranks around 10,000 are typically considered for CSE at the main campus, and the NCR campus usually has a higher cutoff.

Ans: NIT DURGAPUR ELECTRICAL

Ans: With a JEE Advanced EWS rank of 6215, you have a good chance of getting into an IISER for the B.Tech program, especially if you are aiming some of the newer or less competitive IISERs.

Ans: With a Phase-2 SRMJEEE rank of 3,837, your daughter is well within the historical cutoff for CSE with AI/ML at SRM Kattankulathur, where CSE programs have seen placement rates of 91% (2023), 88% (2022), and 91% (2021). SRM AP’s CSE placements have matched or exceeded this, recording 100% in 2023 and approximately 94% in the ongoing 2024 drive, and the 50% fee waiver for ranks 2,001–3,000 under the SRM Merit Scholarship reduces costs substantially. Both campuses follow the same AI/ML-specialized curriculum and attract top recruiters, but AP provides stronger financial relief. Kalvium’s KNET-based B.Tech CSE program, delivered in partnership with NAAC A+–accredited universities, emphasizes hands-on projects, 1:1 mentorship by industry experts, paid internships from the second year, and has drawn placements and internships with companies such as Google, Microsoft, and PhonePe, earning positive student feedback on skill acquisition and real-world readiness.

The recommendation is to opt for SRM AP’s CSE AI/ML program to leverage near-identical placement outcomes with substantial fee savings, and concurrently pursue admission to Kalvium’s industry-integrated CSE program for enhanced practical exposure and mentorship, thereby balancing academic credentials with market-ready skills. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: your chances of getting admission are slim but not completely zero, especially with the possibility of a third or subsequent rounds with further potential lowering of the cutoff.

Ans: With a rank of 13157 in SRMJEEE Phase 2, you have a decent chance of getting Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) in the main campus (Kattankulathur), but it might be at the edge of the cutoff. You should also consider other campuses or branches if you are flexible.
