My son has got B Tech admission offer for CSE from KIIT, for CSE (Data Science) in category 5 from VIT Vellore and Electronics (Instrumentation & Control) from Thapar Institute. Which programme and University he should choose ? Please guide us and provide your expert advise.

Ans: HI,
You can proceed with the B.Tech in Biotechnology at VIT. Generally, the B.Tech program lasts four years, while the B.Sc program is three years. I'm not sure which option you preferred at Christ University—was it the B.Sc or the B.Sc (Hons)?

If you preferred the B.Sc (Hons), I recommend comparing the syllabi of both colleges to see which curriculum has a stronger focus (flavor) on biotechnology. Whichever program emphasizes biotechnology more, you should select that specific college.

If you want broader career options, better alumni/connect, or may switch fields then go for Jaypee Noida ECE

Ans: Hi Rishu,

Achieving a CGPA of 9.5 or 10 is quite easy, but success in interviews is a different story. Very few students actually succeed in interviews, and not everyone manages it. While many institutions are working hard to place their students, a candidate's performance in an interview greatly depends on their own preparation. Without proper preparation, even the best institutions may not be able to help them succeed.
Encourage your son to acquire knowledge and skills related to his subjects. After two years, he should consider pursuing additional courses that relate either to his main subject or to interdisciplinary topics. This will enhance his employability in the industry. It's also important to note that many students lack soft skills, which are crucial for securing a job. Therefore, insist that he develops both soft and hard skills to ensure he is employable once he completes his course.
BEST WISHES.
