Hi Sir, My son got admission in SRM University kathankullatur, Chennai. Also he is trying to get abroad study. But we are confused should we take BE here then go for MS abroad and settle or to go for UG itself. Also got mixed feedback on SRM so confused. He got in Jee 85 percentile but being CBSE he got cut off less 160 only. Kindly guide us and thanks in advance.

Ans: Hi,

Congratulations on your son's SRM admission. Given his JEE score and mixed reviews of SRM, pursuing BE here followed by MS abroad is a viable path. It balances immediate stability with long-term opportunities. For UG abroad, consider overall readiness and financial implications.

Sir, My son is not interested in computer related jobs. However, he has deep interest in physics. Based on his choice, he likes two engineering branches (from good/reputed institute (like VIT/Thapar Institute) - Either Mechanical engineering or Electronics and communication engineering. So, please suggest regarding the following queries. (1) From package/salary point of view, which one would be better - Mechanical engineering or Electronics and communication engineering (Considering, having job in core sector)? (2) From profession growth point of view, which one would be better - Mechanical engineering or Electronics and communication engineering (Considering, having job in core sector)? Please suggest from short and long term perspective.
Ans: If he wants stable government jobs (PSUs like ISRO, DRDO, BHEL, ONGC, BEL, etc.) → Both ME and ECE are equally good.

If he wants a high-paying career in India (private sector) → ECE is better (VLSI, semiconductor, telecom are booming).

If he wants international opportunities (Germany, US, Japan) → Mechanical is good for automotive/aerospace, but ECE is better for semiconductors.

If he is interested in future technology (Quantum, AI hardware, 6G, IoT, Chip Design) → ECE has a clear edge.

If he enjoys hands-on work (machinery, engines, aerodynamics) → Mechanical suits him better.

For best career growth and salary: ECE (core sector like VLSI, 5G, semiconductor, telecommunications, embedded systems).

For passion in classical physics and machines: ME (with specialization in Robotics, Aerospace, or Renewable Energy).
