Stuck after COMEDK: ECE at Dayanand Sagar vs. CSE at Amrita Chennai or B Category seats in Telangana?

Ans: Hi
There is a fair chance this year.

Ans: Hi
there are fair chances of getting into behrampur.

Ans: Hello Suvam
go with Mech

Ans: Aditya, With a score of 92 in IAT (General category), you fall below the expected 2025 cutoff for IISER Berhampur (105–110 marks). While previous years saw lower cutoffs, this year’s marks are likely to rise, making admission unlikely. Monitor counseling rounds for any possible drop in cutoffs. Have some more back-up options instead of relying only on this. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: For a long-term career, Integrated M.Tech Software Engineering at VIT Bhopal (90–95% placements, Amazon/Microsoft recruiters) offers versatile tech opportunities in AI/ML, data science, and software roles, aligning with industry growth and providing flexibility for academia via research or teaching roles post-M.Tech. Marine Engineering at IMU Kolkata (80–90% placements, Chevron/NYK recruiters) is ideal for niche maritime careers but limits diversification outside core shipping sectors. While GFTI lower branches (e.g., Civil/Mechanical) via JoSSA ensure institutional prestige, they may lack alignment with her academic strengths (PCMB) and tech aspirations. For academia, a B.Ed + M.Ed pathway (UGC NET eligibility) offers stable teaching careers but underutilizes her engineering potential. Prioritize VIT Bhopal for tech innovation and interdisciplinary growth, leveraging its coding ecosystems and global collaborations. If inclined toward teaching, pursue M.Tech + Ph.D. post-engineering for lecturer roles. Backup options include MBA for managerial pathways or government technical roles via GATE. Confirm curriculum depth and internship support during enrollment. All the BEST for your Daughter's Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Hello Sanjay
RVCE is a better choice.

Ans: Hi
If you are not strongly inclined towards Physics or research, Mechanical Engineering is a safer and more versatile bet. But if you are academically brilliant and want to enter elite research or tech domains (quant, AI, quantum), Engineering Physics can give you an edge but only if you actively seek opportunities beyond coursework.

Ans: With 91 percentile in JEE Main (~121,000–135,000 rank) and 67% CBSE boards, you are ineligible for NITs/IIITs via JoSAA (requires 75% aggregate for General), but may qualify for DTU/NSUT via JAC Delhi if your PCM aggregate meets 60% (DTU’s 2025 cutoff for Civil/Environmental Engineering: ~50,000–135,000 ranks). JAC Delhi allows candidates with 60% in PCM + English, so confirm if your PCM marks meet this threshold. If not, NIOS improvement to reach 75% is advisable for NIT eligibility next year. Alternatively, consider private colleges like Sharda University (CSE cutoff ~860,000 ranks) or LPU via direct admission, though fees are higher. Prioritize JAC Delhi counselling for DTU’s non-core branches if eligible, or NIOS + drop year for broader options. Backup options include state colleges via UPCET/MHT CET or VIT/SRM via management quota. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!
