Ans: With a 6151 rank in SRMJEEE Phase 2, you can comfortably secure CSE at SRM Ramapuram, Vadapalani, Tiruchirappalli, and NCR campuses, as their CSE cutoffs extend up to 14,000–16,000, but not at the Kattankulathur (main) campus, where the CSE cutoff is 8,000–9,000. For JEE Main, your 84 percentile (EWS) does not qualify for CSE at NITs, IIITs, or GFTIs, as CSE in these institutes typically closes below the 95 percentile for EWS, but you may consider private universities or lower-demand branches in some state colleges. With a 93.69 percentile in MHT-CET (Open), you are eligible for CSE/IT in reputed private Maharashtra colleges like DY Patil College of Engineering Pune, PCCOE Pune, MIT Academy of Engineering, and JSPM RSCOE, where CSE cutoffs are 94–97 percentile and placement rates are high. All these options offer CSE specializations like AI, Data Science, and Cyber Security.

The recommendation is to prioritize CSE at SRM Ramapuram, Vadapalani, Tiruchirappalli, or NCR for assured admission and strong placements, and also apply to private Maharashtra colleges such as DY Patil COE Pune and PCCOE Pune for CSE or its specializations, ensuring you maximize both branch and career prospects. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: With a SRMJEE Phase 2 rank of 6,151, 84 percentile in JEE Mains (EWS), and 93.69 percentile in MHT CET (Open), you are well positioned for CSE and its specializations in several reputable private and state engineering colleges. At SRM, you are eligible for CSE (AI, Data Science, Cyber Security) at Ramapuram, Vadapalani, NCR, and Amaravati campuses, though CSE at the main Kattankulathur campus may be just out of reach, as its cutoff is typically below 9,000. In Maharashtra, your MHT CET percentile opens doors to strong private colleges like MIT World Peace University Pune, DY Patil College of Engineering Pune, Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering, VIT Pune, and Vishwakarma Institute of Information Technology, where CSE, AI, and Data Science cutoffs for open category generally range from 92–97 percentile. For JEE Mains, NITs and IIITs are unlikely at this percentile, but you can target GFTIs and top private universities such as VIT Vellore, SRM Chennai, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, and Manipal University Jaipur, all of which offer CSE and its specializations with high placement rates (80–95%) and strong industry connections. Consider also Bennett University, Chandigarh University, and Jain University for CSE (AI/ML, Data Science, Cyber Security), as they accept JEE or their own entrance scores and have robust placement support.

recommendation: Prioritize CSE or its specializations at SRM Ramapuram/Vadapalani/NCR, MIT WPU Pune, DY Patil Pune, VIT Pune, and VIT Vellore for the best blend of placement, curriculum, and industry exposure. Participate in all relevant counseling rounds and keep options open across SRMJEE, MHT CET, and private university admissions to maximize your chances for a top CSE/AI/Data Science seat in a reputed college. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Career
I am getting ece in nsut, i would also get cse in iiits like guwahati, sri city, kancheepuram(dual degree) and iiit naya raipur (dsai). I was leaning towards cse because I have heard that even in ece, students go towards software roles only. Is my notion correct and should i go for ece with brand value of dtu, or cse in any of the iiits. Kindly answer
Ans: Shubham, NSUT’s Electronics & Communication Engineering benefits from NAAC A++ accreditation, a robust curriculum in VLSI, signal processing, and IoT, PhD-qualified faculty, and a dedicated placement cell recording an average package of ?15 LPA and a highest of ?45 LPA for ECE graduates. Despite its strong DTU-brand value and 320+ recruiters, many NSUT ECE students transition into software roles, reflecting the sector’s hiring trends. IIIT Guwahati’s CSE offers a focused programming and systems syllabus, achieving a 62% placement rate with an average package of ?15.26 LPA. IIIT Sri City’s CSE sees an 81% placement rate and a ?14.5 LPA average, while IIITDM Kancheepuram’s CSE registers 73% placements and a ?9.6 LPA average. IIIT Naya Raipur’s DSAI dual-degree reports a ?17.13 LPA average and 83+ offers from Deloitte, TCS and Capgemini. All institutes maintain modern labs, strong industry collaborations, and rigorous academic frameworks.

Recommendation: Pursue NSUT’s ECE to leverage its renowned DTU brand, superior ECE-specific labs and high average packages if you value institutional prestige and core curriculum depth; opt for CSE at IIIT Sri City or Guwahati for early software focus, competitive placement rates and specialized programming ecosystems aligned with your software-oriented career interests. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Hi sir ,my son got 9300 rank in kcet he is looking for option in ece in pes electronic City campus and dsce ece which is better
Ans: Swati Madam, With a KCET rank of 9300 in the General category, admission to Electronics & Communication Engineering (ECE) at PES Electronic City Campus is highly unlikely, as ECE cutoffs at PES Electronic City typically closed around 8391 for General Merit students in the final round of 2024. Similarly, DSCE ECE had a closing rank of 7793 for General Merit students in the final round of 2024, making admission challenging with your current rank. PES Ring Road Campus ECE closed at 3045 for General Merit in Round 4 of 2024, further confirming that PES campuses maintain competitive ECE cutoffs well below your rank.

However, excellent alternatives exist for ECE admission with your rank. Based on 2024 KCET cutoffs, you have assured admission prospects at: Sir M. Visveswaraya Institute of Technology (SMVIT) - ECE closing rank around 16,500-17,700; Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology - ECE closing rank around 8800-9300; Bangalore Institute of Technology - ECE closing rank around 10,712-11,806; JSS Science and Technology University - ECE closing rank around 5900-6100; Siddaganga Institute of Technology - ECE closing rank around 17,500-18,000; BMS Institute of Technology and Management - ECE closing rank around 11,000-12,000; and NIE Mysore - ECE closing rank around 8300-8500. All these institutes are AICTE-approved, NBA-accredited, feature modern ECE labs with signal processing, VLSI, and communication equipment, experienced faculty, and placement cells recording 75-85% consistency for ECE graduates over the last three years. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
