Ans: Dear Mohammed , Pl. check with your son what does he like ? if he likes Mechanical , Pl. ask him to get into NIT Trichy or else in CSE at IIIT Kanchepuram.

Ans: Raja Sir, Choosing between Metallurgical & Materials Engineering at NIT Trichy and ECE at IIIT Kancheepuram depends on your career interests. NIT Trichy offers a prestigious brand, excellent academics, and strong core engineering training, but Metallurgical & Materials Engineering has a narrower job market and fewer recruiters. Placements are decent but less lucrative than ECE. IIIT Kancheepuram’s ECE branch provides broader career opportunities in software, hardware, and emerging technologies, with strong placements and growing reputation. The infrastructure and industry exposure at IIITDM are modern and research-oriented. If your interest lies in core materials science and manufacturing, NIT Trichy is advisable. However, for versatile career options, higher placement potential, and exposure to cutting-edge technologies, ECE at IIIT Kancheepuram is the better choice. Considering long-term prospects and placement statistics, ECE at IIIT Kancheepuram is generally recommended unless you have a strong passion for Metallurgical Engineering. All the best for your son's admission and a bright future!

Ans: Among Engineering Physics at IIT Ropar, EEE at NIT Tiruchy, and CSE at IIIT-Delhi, the best choice depends on your son’s interests and career goals. If he is passionate about software, IT, or data science, CSE at IIIT-Delhi is the top recommendation, offering excellent placements and industry connections in the tech sector. If he prefers a core engineering branch with flexibility to enter both hardware and some IT roles, EEE at NIT Tiruchy is a strong option, given the institute’s reputation and placement record. Engineering Physics at IIT Ropar is ideal for those interested in research, advanced technology, or semiconductor industries, and offers the prestige of the IIT brand, but is less direct for mainstream IT/software roles. In summary, prioritize CSE at IIIT-Delhi, followed by EEE at NIT Tiruchy, and then Engineering Physics at IIT Ropar, based on current industry trends and placement opportunities. All the best for your son's admission and a bright future!
