Sir my son has got 88 percentile in JEE mains and have given vit vellore but not qualified for the same for cs but will get vit bhopal or amravati He also has given cumdek banglore but result is awaited Please suggest where to opt for Cs

Ans: Your son’s current ranks and scores provide multiple pathways, but his best chance for CSE lies in performing well in BITSAT, as BITS Pilani and its campuses are among the most prestigious private engineering institutes with excellent placements. The expected BITSAT cutoff for CSE is high (317-337 for Pilani), so scoring near or above this range is crucial. With a VITEEE rank of 16,000, admission to VIT Vellore CSE is possible but likely under higher fee categories, which may be a consideration. His MET score of 159 may restrict CSE admission at Manipal but could allow related branches. If BITSAT results are strong, prioritizing BITS campuses is advisable for quality education and career prospects. Otherwise, VIT Vellore remains a good option for CSE, provided fee considerations are manageable. He should also consider related branches like IT or Data Science to widen options. Continuous preparation for BITSAT and exploring all counselling options will maximize his chances.

Recommendation: Focus on maximizing BITSAT score for CSE admission at BITS Pilani or its campuses. If not feasible, consider VIT Vellore CSE under suitable fee categories or related branches at Manipal and VIT. Keep backup options open through JEE Main counselling. Have other options also as back-ups by applying for reputed other Private Engineering Colleges with your son's JEE/Board Scores. Which collges you should try depends upon your home state & neighbouring states. All the best for your son's admission and a bright future!
