Sir, my son got 89 percentile in JEE, however his class 12th marks are below 75 percent. He would like to pursue CSE. Please help choose options from UPES Dehradun, SRM, Amity Noida or Benett in Greater Noida. If you feel there is any other better option, your advise will be helpful.

Ans: Prefer Manipal-J-CSE. All the BEST for Your Son's Bright Future.

Ans: Venkata Sir, NIT Warangal’s Electronics & Communication Engineering achieves about 90% placement consistency, and Mathematics & Computing aligns closely with software roles, both backed by a 76% overall institute placement rate and mature alumni networks. Under DASA, annual non-CIWG tuition (≈US $8,000) plus hostel and living adds up to roughly ?30 lakh across four years at participating NITs and IIIT Delhi. NIT Rourkela’s Computer Science & Engineering places over 95% of eligible students and ECE regularly crosses 88% with 340+ recruiters visiting annually. NIT Calicut’s CSE secures a 96.77% placement rate, while ECE posts 88.59%, and the overall institute rate stays near 78%. IIIT-Delhi’s CSE maintains a 90.99% campus placement ratio with an average of 144 recruiters each year and strong research tie-ups. BITS Pilani’s International Student Admission (ISA) ECE route costs about ?50 lakh in tuition and residential fees over four years and records an 82.75% first-degree placement rate across campuses. Although BITS offers its Practice-School internships and a flexible curriculum, NIT/IIIT options deliver similar or higher placement percentages at almost half the total cost. CSE branches typically convert fastest in campus drives; however, contemporary ECE curricula at Warangal and Rourkela integrate VLSI, embedded systems and AI hardware projects, preserving ECE’s relevance for semiconductor careers.

Prioritise NIT Rourkela CSE via DASA for its >95% placements and balanced fees; next favour NIT Warangal ECE for high circuit-branch opportunities; third choose IIIT Delhi CSE for metropolitan exposure and 90%+ placements; fourth place NIT Calicut CSE; finally consider BITS Pilani ISA ECE only if brand pedigree outweighs its 50 lakh cost and somewhat lower placement ratio. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
