Sir , My son got 283 in BITSAT and he is selected for electronics and computer at goa, he also selected for BITS international degree of CS at RMIT Australia, pls guide which course to pursue ?

Ans: Respected Sir,
Both options your son has received — Electronics & Computer at BITS Goa and International CS degree with RMIT Australia — are excellent. Here's a simple and clear comparison to help you decide:
Option 1: BITS Goa – Electronics & Computer Engineering (ECE+CS)
? Strong course with good balance of hardware + software
? BITS Goa has very good faculty, campus life, and placements
? He can still go into software/IT jobs — many ECE students land in top tech companies
? Lower cost (compared to studying in Australia)
? Strong alumni network in India and abroad
? You can also go abroad for Master’s later after saving money

Placement Range: ?10–20+ LPA for good students, average ~?8 LPA
Location: Goa, India (BITS brand is strong)
Option 2: BITS + RMIT Australia (International CS Program)
? He’ll do part of his degree in India, then shift to RMIT University in Melbourne
? Direct exposure to global tech industry
? CS is a top-demand field abroad, so good job prospects in Australia
? Much higher cost — approx ?25–30 lakhs or more in total
? Visa, living expenses, part-time jobs are extra responsibilities

Prospects: Very good if he wants to settle abroad
Placement: Depends more on internships, local performance in Australia
Immigration Opportunity: Yes, possible if he works after graduation in Australia
? If your budget is limited and you're looking for strong placements in India, choose BITS Goa — it's one of the best in India.
? If your goal is long-term migration, global exposure, and you can afford the cost, the RMIT Australia program is great.

Sir, my son has scored today in bitsat exam 267 marks, he has got 3688 obcncl rank in jee mains and 508 rank kcet. Please suggest suitable college and course. NIT trichy instrumentation and control, or BITS dual degree msc with economics or RVCE computer science these are the ones which are there in our mind, please suggest a good option. Other than these also we are fine, please suggest a better college and course
Ans: Prakash Sir, Prefer RVCE through KCET. Having said this, With a BITSAT score of 267, admission to BITS Pilani’s core branches like CSE is unlikely, but branches like Mechanical or Electronics & Instrumentation at Pilani or other BITS campuses may be possible. His strong KCET rank (508) makes admission to RVCE’s Computer Science branch very feasible, which is highly reputed for coding and software careers. NIT Trichy’s Instrumentation & Control is a good government option but less aligned with software interests. The BITS dual degree MSc with Economics offers an interdisciplinary path but is less traditional for core engineering jobs. Considering his passion for coding and career prospects, RVCE Computer Science stands out as the best option. He should also explore other NITs or IIITs via JEE Mains rank for CSE or related branches. Overall, RVCE CSE offers the best blend of reputation, placements, and alignment with coding ambitions. All the best for your son's admission and a bright future!
