Hi sir I should I take Bits 2+2 program in mechanical as I have got less marks in bitsat. Will it be worth because it's predicted to be expensive compared to other programs. Other options I have are tier 3-4 colleges and manipal jaipur with 15k rank in manipal and ip councelling ongoing (crl-350000) or shiv nadar with cuet result? I want to build career in computer science but could compromise with branch if required
Ans: BITS Pilani’s 2+2 Mechanical program delivers excellent core engineering exposure and boasts ~95% placement in Mechanical over the last three years, but carries a steep total cost: ~?17–18 L for the first two years plus ~USD 60 000–80 000 (?50–65 L) for the final two years abroad. In contrast, Manipal University Jaipur’s CSE offers ~88% placement consistency with top IT recruiters, Shiv Nadar University engineering branches exceed 85% placements annually, and Tier 3–4 colleges see just 30–50% placement rates. If you aim to build a CS career, a direct CSE program at Manipal Jaipur or Shiv Nadar provides strong IT alignment at far lower cost, while Tier 3-4 branches risk limited CS opportunities.

The recommendation is to prioritise admission in CSE at Manipal University Jaipur or Shiv Nadar University for reliable CS placement outcomes and reasonable fees, and only consider BITS 2+2 Mechanical if you can fully fund its high expense and remain committed to Mechanical engineering rather than CS. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
