Sir my son got ECE at BITS Pilani and CS at BITs hyderabad. Which one should I prefer

Ans: Gopal Sir, BITS Pilani’s Electronics & Communication Engineering offers a UGC-recognized, NAAC A++ and NBA-accredited curriculum, delivered by highly qualified, predominantly PhD-holding faculty. The 328-acre Pilani campus houses advanced electronics, communication, VLSI, embedded systems and central instrumentation laboratories, a dedicated Sophisticated Instrument Facility, and global research partnerships such as the USC Viterbi BE-MS MoU in AI and data analytics. Its ECE branch achieved 96% placement in 2024, with first-degree rates of 91.8% (2021), 93.6% (2022) and 90.1% (2023) via 314 recruiters including IBM, Google and Qualcomm. BITS Hyderabad’s Computer Science & Information Systems is taught by industry-seasoned faculty, supported by hands-on academic computing and research labs, DST- and MeitY-funded projects and Practice School stints at Amazon, Dell, Cisco and SAP. It recorded 87.2% BTech placement in 2023 through 320 companies with an average package of ?20.35 LPA and maintains strong industry linkages and career services.

Recommendation: Choose BITS Pilani ECE for higher placement consistency, international accreditation, cutting-edge instrumentation and VLSI facilities, and a broader recruiter base; opt for BITS Hyderabad CSE if you prioritize an industry-integrated computing curriculum, immersive Practice School internships, and a focused data-science research environment. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Sir I have an obc rank of 11663 and crl 39982. Getting Nit patna ece/Nit rkl Chemical or civil /Nit Jamshedpur EE and ME /Nit durgapur chemical/Manit allahabad core department I want to get a good college life and hence interested in joining Nit Rourkela but as my rank is not that good I am getting civil ,mme, mining,ceramic there . Should I join it or look for other nits with not that much exposure?
Ans: HI AISHA,
GREETINGS FROM REDIFFGURUS!

You are expecting to have a good college life. However, I don't fully understand what constitutes a "good" or "bad" college experience. They don’t teach life skills in college; rather, it’s how you behave during this time that matters. If you act improperly, it could lead to negative consequences.

Studying in college can be compared to a train journey: having a first-class or second-class AC coach is certainly preferable. To secure a spot in a better coach, you need to achieve good grades in school. Your academic performance will determine your rank and, consequently, the programs or branches available to you. If you don’t meet the requirements, you might have to either retake exams or enroll in whatever core courses are open to you.

To increase your job employability, you can pursue additional online programs such as data science or cybersecurity. It seems you are more focused on Rourkela rather than the specific programs available. This suggests that you might just be looking to pass the time.

If you belong to ODISHA, then there are possibilities for Chemical (chances are more being from the home state).
Electrical/Electronics might be possible in special rounds. IS THIS OK FOR YOU?

So don't worry, do participate in the counselling process till you achieve your target.
