Sir, My son got only Mech.Engg. in SASTRA, Is B.tech Mech.Engg. students not recruited for I.T jobs?

Ans: While it’s true that IT companies often recruit from computer science and related fields, there are still opportunities for B.Tech Mechanical Engineering graduates in the IT sector, encourage your son to explore internships, gain practical experience, and consider upskilling in relevant IT areas. His mechanical engineering background can be an asset in interdisciplinary roles that require problem-solving and analytical skills.

I got 81000 rank in vit... Can I get mech engineering in Chennai campus

Ans: Johnson, With a VITEEE rank of 81,000, admission to Mechanical Engineering at VIT Chennai is unlikely due to a cutoff closing around 40,000. You should consider VIT Bhopal or VIT Amaravati campuses for Mechanical Engineering, where your rank fits well within the expected cutoff range. All the best for your admissions and a bright future!

Sc category rank 9703 in IAT can i get any iiser?

Ans: Sahiladitya, Candidates in the SC category needed closing IAT ranks well below 1,000 for each IISER campus in 2024—IISER Pune’s SC cutoff was 266, Bhopal’s 600, Kolkata’s 364, Mohali’s 550, Thiruvananthapuram’s 681, Tirupati’s 738 and Berhampur’s 739. Your SC rank of 9,703 exceeds all these closing ranks, making admission to any IISER via IAT improbable this year. Please try for alternate options. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Sri my son confused with options VIT chennai CSE AI Robotics, and CSE in IIIT Sricity, IIIT kotaym Or we can take retake on JEE exams next year for top NIT ( Current JEE mains score 97.61) Plesse give your feedback

Ans: Hello dear.
Please reconsider the idea of taking a drop just to aim for NITs. Prefer CSE at IIIT Sricity or Kotaym, whichever is more convenient for you from a travel perspective. VIT is a bit more expensive among the options mentioned. The final choice will be yours.
