Hi My son got admission for BTech Mechanical Engineering - Manufacturing Engineering at VIT Vellore campus through entrance exam. Also now he got BE Mechanical Engineering at Anna University Guindy campus through NRI provision. Please advise which college he should select

Ans: Both VIT Vellore and Anna University Guindy are prestigious institutions, but they have different strengths. Look into the placement records for both programs to see which aligns better with your son’s career goals.
If your son is specifically interested in manufacturing engineering, VIT’s specialized program might be more beneficial.
If budget is a concern, Anna University might be a more economical choice.
Consider visiting both campuses to get a feel for the environment and facilities.

Sir I got 89.52 percentile with rank of 1.62 lakh in jee mains as delhi female I want to aim for cse /it / ece at govt or good private college . Moreover tell me about is ipu good for good placements . How much should I focus on tier of college is tier 2.5 or tier 3 better for me . I am also confused whether to take drop or not my maths percentile was least around 25 percentile and in chem and phy around 94 and 90 what would be best for me .
Ans: With an 89.52 percentile (approximately 1.62 lakh CRL), securing CSE, IT, or ECE in NITs or most IIITs through JoSAA is unlikely for an unreserved candidate, so it is best to use JoSAA and CSAB for lower-demand branches in GFTIs or NITs only. For Delhi, IPU is a strong option, particularly colleges like USICT, MAIT, MSIT, and BVCOE, with recent placement data showing credible hiring and a highest package of 41.2 LPA in 2024, although outcomes vary by college and branch. It is advisable to prioritize branch and college quality over focusing solely on tiers, as a good Tier-2.5 IPU seat in CSE/IT is preferable to a weak Tier-3 seat elsewhere. Given a 25 percentile in Maths, dropping a year is risky unless there is a realistic chance of substantial improvement; otherwise, it is better to accept the best available CSE/IT/ECE seat now. Fill in the maximum of your preferred choices in JoSAA counselling and if possible/affordable by your parents, have 3-4 private engineering colleges also as backups (in and around Delhi/neighbouring States) instead of relying only on JoSAA, CSAB & JAC. ALL the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!
