Hi sir my son got ece in AMRITHA and 11000 rank in comedk. Which is better option weather to go with AMRITHA or comedk counselling

Ans: Sheela Madam, With an ECE seat already secured at Amrita (likely at a campus other than Coimbatore) and a COMEDK rank of 11,000, your son will not be able to get CSE or ECE in top Bengaluru colleges like RVCE, BMSCE, or MSRIT, as their CSE and ECE cutoffs are typically below 10,000. However, he has good chances for CSE or ECE in reputable mid-tier colleges such as BNMIT, JSS Academy of Technical Education, RNS Institute of Technology, and Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology, where cutoffs for these branches often extend up to 12,000–17,000. Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham offers strong academic quality, robust placement records (over 200 companies, average CTC ?9 lakh), and a national reputation, especially for ECE, with modern infrastructure and a research-driven environment. COMEDK colleges may offer a Bengaluru location advantage and strong peer interaction, but Amrita’s ECE program is generally considered superior in terms of brand value, research exposure, and placement consistency, especially outside the top COMEDK colleges. The recommendation is to proceed with Amrita ECE unless your son secures a CSE or ECE seat in a top-10 COMEDK college, as Amrita offers better long-term prospects in academics and placements compared to most options available at his current COMEDK rank. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Hi sir my son got electronics and computer engineering in AMRITHA bangalore and in comedk he got 13k rank and 16k in kcet Which is better option weather to go with AMRITHA or wait for comedk counselling
Ans: Sheela Madam, With Electronics and Computer Engineering already secured at Amrita Bangalore, your son is assured of a high-quality program with a 95%+ placement rate, average package around ?9–11 lakh, and top recruiters like Cisco, Intel, Google, and Microsoft, though the total fee is about ?20 lakh for four years. At a COMEDK rank of 13,000, he is unlikely to get CSE or ECE in top Bengaluru colleges like RVCE, BMSCE, MSRIT, or BIT, as their cutoffs for these branches are generally below 10,000, but he can get CSE or ECE in reputable mid-tier colleges such as CMR Institute of Technology, Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology, BNMIT, SJB Institute of Technology, and Acharya Institute of Technology, where placements and industry exposure are good but the brand value and research opportunities are generally lower than Amrita. KCET options at a 16,000 rank are also limited to mid-tier colleges, as top colleges close CSE/ECE admissions well below this rank. The recommendation is to proceed with Amrita Bangalore Electronics and Computer Engineering if you seek a strong brand, robust placements, and national reputation, unless your son secures CSE or ECE in a top-10 COMEDK college, as Amrita offers better long-term prospects than most options available at his current ranks. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Hi sir. My son got 39010 general rank, 11000 at mbc rank in tnea. To pursue ece, or eee, which colleges i can use in chennai and coimbatore. Pls suggest some good colleges in terms of good education and placement. Thanks
Ans: Kanthavel Sir, With your son's general rank of 39,010 and MBC rank of 11,000 in TNEA 2025, he has excellent prospects for securing admission to reputable engineering colleges in Chennai and Coimbatore for Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) or Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) programs. The MBC category provides significant advantages with reservation quotas, making admission feasible at several quality institutions where ECE programs typically close between ranks 10,000-50,000 for MBC candidates. Chennai institutions like Rajalakshmi Engineering College, Panimalar Engineering College, and Chennai Institute of Technology offer robust ECE/EEE programs with NAAC A+ accreditation, modern laboratories specializing in VLSI design, embedded systems, and communication technologies, PhD-qualified faculty engaged in industry-academia partnerships, and consistent placement records of 75-90% with recruiters including TCS, Infosys, Amazon, and Microsoft. Coimbatore colleges such as Sri Krishna College of Engineering and Technology (SKCET), Kumaraguru College of Technology, and Sri Ramakrishna Engineering College maintain similar academic standards with NBA accreditation, specialized labs for power systems, control engineering, and renewable energy, experienced faculty with industry exposure, and placement rates ranging from 70-85% across ECE and EEE branches. Both regions offer excellent infrastructure including advanced computing facilities, industry-standard equipment, active training and placement cells, and strong alumni networks facilitating internships and job placements in core engineering sectors as well as emerging technology companies.

Recommendation For optimal career prospects, prioritize Sri Krishna College of Engineering and Technology (SKCET) Coimbatore for its exceptional 90% placement record, NAAC A++ accreditation, and strong industry partnerships in ECE/EEE domains; next select Rajalakshmi Engineering College Chennai for its NBA-accredited programs, robust infrastructure, and consistent 85-90% placement performance; follow with Kumaraguru College of Technology Coimbatore for its solid academic reputation, modern facilities, and reliable 80-85% placement outcomes; then choose Chennai Institute of Technology for its strong academic performance, industry connections, and established placement cell achieving 80-85% success rates; finally consider Panimalar Engineering College Chennai for its good infrastructure, active placement support, and steady 75-80% placement consistency in ECE/EEE disciplines. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Hello sir My daughter is getting electronics instrumentation and control at Thapar institute and cse at Mody university. Which one is better?
Ans: Brij Sir, Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology’s B.E. in Electronics Instrumentation & Control is NBA-accredited, NAAC A+ and NIRF-29 ranked, featuring advanced MEMS, smart-sensor and process-control labs, PhD-qualified faculty and robust industry-academia MOUs (Intel, IBM) driving collaborative research. Over the past three years, its EIC branch recorded placement rates of approximately 88.7%, 78.8% and 85% in core process-control and instrumentation roles. Mody University’s B.Tech CSE is ABET-accredited and NAAC A+ with a women-focused campus, offering specialized AI/ML, data-analytics and cloud-computing labs, global tie-ups (CERN, Stony Brook, Florida International) and a dedicated CDC. Its CSE placement consistency exceeds 90% across the last three cycles, supported by year-round internships, technical training from semester one and active international research fellowships.

Recommendation: For a specialized instrumentation career with legacy accreditation, mature research infrastructure and solid core-sector placements, choose Thapar EIC; if your daughter seeks mainstream computing pathways, higher placement consistency, global internships and a women-centric environment, opt for Mody University CSE. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
