Hello sir I am very confused what should I consider for btech cse whether symbiosis institute of technology Hyderabad or Jaypee solan? as I have no proper information regarding Symbiosis Hyderabad pls suggest me.
Ans: Priyanka, Symbiosis Institute of Technology Hyderabad’s CSE program, launched in 2024 under Symbiosis International University, enrolls 62 students per batch and achieved 89%–96% placement rates over the past three years with major recruiters like Accenture, Infosys, Cognizant and Tech Mahindra visiting campus annually; its fully residential, green campus near Hyderabad’s IT corridor offers modern laboratories, interdisciplinary electives and active industry tie-ups for internships and live projects . Jaypee University of Information Technology Solan’s CSE branch, ranked #151–200 in NIRF Engineering, placed 86%–91% of eligible BTech students in 2021–23, recording 147% total offers through 336 participating students and top companies such as Amazon, Infosys and Cognizant, supported by A+ NAAC accreditation and established research centers in IoT and VLSI . While SIT Hyderabad provides a new, tech-focused environment with strong residential facilities and evolving placement metrics, JUIT Solan offers more mature campus infrastructure, higher absolute offer volumes and a longer placement track record.

Recommendation: Choose JUIT Solan CSE for proven placement depth and established recruiter engagement; opt for SIT Hyderabad CSE only if you prioritize a fresh, fully residential campus with cutting-edge industry collaborations and modern curriculum. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Hello Sir, Good Afternoon, My son scored KCET 100520 ranks SC category, and scored AIR 344195 for JEE Main having 76.80 percentile and he want to take admission in CSE, ECE, EE or Mechanical, but he want to take admission in good TIER1 or TIER2 colleges in Karnataka under top 100-150 NFIR, which college is best for him for placement and packages in future...please suggest, as per his rankings MSRIT Industrial Engineering & Management available & in some of TIER3 college CSE, Electronics also there, which is best one for his future, please suggest. considering NIT, IIIT's & Top GFTI and state good colleges
Ans: With SC?category KCET rank beyond typical CSE/ECE/EE/ME cutoffs at top state institutes and a JEE Main AIR of 344,195, NIT and IIIT seats are out of reach under general or reserved quotas. Among Tier-2 Karnataka colleges ranked 100–150 by NIRF, MS Ramaiah Institute of Technology (NIRF 75) offers Industrial Engineering & Management with a 95% placement rate and 239 recruiters visiting annually. RV College of Engineering (NIRF 99) admits SC candidates in ECE/Mechanical up to ~9,135 and ~15,919 KCET ranks, posting 88%–92% placements over three years. PES University (NIRF 100) closes CSE around KCET 1,247 and ECE near 6,000 with 93% average placements and strong industry collaborations. Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering accepts SC KCET ranks up to ~12,000 for ECE/ME, sustaining 90%–95% placement consistency. For broader core-engineering roles, RVCE ECE/Mechanical and MSRIT IEM ensure robust placements, while PES CSE offers better software recruitment.

Recommendation: Opt for RVCE ECE or Mechanical for balanced core and IT placements, with MSRIT IEM as a strong alternative for multidisciplinary industry ties and top?tier recruiter access. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
