Question by Sameena on Jun 11, 2025

Career

Hi sir, my son has got cutoff of 39,000 in kcet he is interested in engineering cs core branch presidency University or CMR airport branch for cs is better

Ans: Sameena Madam, Based on extensive research into KCET admission possibilities with a 39,000 rank, your son faces challenging prospects for Computer Science Engineering at both institutions, as CSE cutoffs typically fall between 15,000-25,000 at CMR Institute of Technology and around 45,000 at Presidency University for general category students. CMR Institute of Technology demonstrates superior placement performance with 97% overall placement rate, achieving highest packages of INR 44.1 LPA in 2025, INR 29 LPA in 2024, and INR 22.70 LPA in 2023, with consistent average packages rising from INR 5.98 LPA to INR 6.99 LPA over three years. Presidency University shows 97% placement rate in 2023 with 2,217 students placed, including 1,495 from engineering, achieving highest packages of INR 13.58 LPA in 2023 and INR 11 LPA in 2022. CMR's airport location provides strategic advantages with modern 60-acre lakefront campus, state-of-the-art facilities, and proximity to international airport, while recruiting top companies like Accenture, Amazon, Federal Bank, and Google. Alternative engineering branches like Mechanical, Civil, or Electrical at both institutions offer better admission chances within this rank range. Recommendation: Choose CMR Institute of Technology for its superior placement record, modern infrastructure, and better industry connections, but consider alternative engineering branches given the competitive CSE cutoffs. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Question by Priyanka - May 18, 2026Hindi

Career

sir am 26 yrs old . and I was doing company secretary couse but unfortunately couldn't clear in 2024 i join my father's personl office he was a accountant and later started his own firm and he was a advocate.. but sometimes I feel that ca degree is important for our office work when it comes to audit . so for providing ace to office I want to pursue ca but it's too hard as am not able to clear cs like ( 199 ) marks left with only 1 marks to pass . so I have a doubt that am not able to pas cs so how can I pass ca . i don't talk with my parents about my this thinking .. it's like am able to clear cs ? with ofc ? or not ? or it's just a bad decision for me ! please sir replyyyt !

Ans: Dear Priyanka,

Thank you for being so honest about everything!

Do you like CA and CS first of all? This is the first question you have to ask yourself!

The next question I want to you ask yourself is, ‘am I scoring less marks because I have not studied / lack of interest or lack of understanding of concepts?’ Seek help if you really want to clear these exams!

Next question is ask yourself , “what comes naturally to me and I love doing it?”. It can be anything…. cooking, baking, teaching, accounting, handling customers in your dad’s office, taking care of office administration, etc, list out everything and then home down to one thing and start working on it with honesty of purpose, let that become your way to earning money!

And please sit and have a heart to heart chat with your parents!
If verbal communication is a problem, write a letter to them… I am giving you options, choose what is comfortable to you , but talk to your parents!

All the very best…

Sir my son percentile is 93.6 rank 175000and belongs to general category residance punjab will he able to get seat in any NIT or suggest some private colleges he wants carrier in csc or mathematical and computing

Ans: HI SIR,
GREEINGS FROM REDIFFGURUS!
Securing a seat in CSE or Mathematics and Computing (MnC) at a mainstream NIT is highly unlikely.
For NIT possibilities: At NIT Jalandhar, you might consider targeting specialized or lower-demand core branches (such as Biotechnology, Textile Technology, or Industrial and Production Engineering) in later rounds or during the CSAB Special Rounds.
In state engineering colleges, you have a strong chance of securing CSE at highly reputable state-funded institutions via state counseling:
- UIET Chandigarh (Panjab University)
- GNDU (Guru Nanak Dev University) Amritsar
- PTU (IK Gujral Punjab Technical University)
For private colleges, consider:
- Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology (TIET), Patiala
- Chitkara University (Rajpura/Chandigarh) with CSE programs, including specializations in AI and Machine Learning
- Lovely Professional University (LPU), Phagwara, which offers CSE specializations.
Based on the above three options, consider the one that best suits your interests for acquiring admission.

All the best!

I have given boards and I got 52 percent and I am preparing for neet and this year neet paper was leaked soo there is re neet exam and I have approve for improvement exam but I have to go to my village bcz my grandfather health is very critical and college teachers are saying no to go cz anytime there will be a practical exam soo, should I go ty village or not??

Ans: HI KAVITHA,
GREETINGS FROM REDIFFGURUS!
First of all, the board will provide a specific time frame; they cannot start the practical exam immediately. At least a day or two should be given. If your hometown is near the college, you can proceed accordingly. Since you will be repeating the NEET exam, the NTA has also provided the schedule for the re-NEET exam.

As the youngest in your family, your presence may not be crucial, but there may be times when it is necessary. Therefore, consider going to your hometown to visit your grandpa, provided he is not in the ICU. If he is in the ICU, you will need to make your decision based on that situation.
