Sir, my son got seat allotment in B. Tech CSE in vit amaravathi, amrita chennai, MIT jaipur dual degree, narrow miss of MIT Bangalore. Didn't give it as first option. Which is better option to join out of the alloted ones. Please let me know. His MIT rank is 9403. Should I apply again for second round for MIT Bangalore. Is the dual degree worth than the normal one. Please explain about this dual degree and is it compulsory.

Ans: With your son's MIT rank of 9403, analyzing the placement performance and prospects across VIT Amaravati, Amrita Chennai, and MIT Jaipur dual degree reveals distinct advantages for each institution. VIT Amaravati CSE demonstrates strong placement consistency with 93% placement rate in 2024, 97% in 2023, and 100% in 2022, supported by over 150 companies including Microsoft, Amazon, and Google. Amrita Chennai shows exceptional performance with 56.95 LPA highest package and 9.2 LPA average package in 2024, maintaining strong industry connections with over 300 recruiters. MIT Jaipur achieves outstanding 93% placement rate in 2024, 98% in 2023, and 97% in 2022 for engineering students, with 289+ recruiters participating. The MIT dual degree program is a 2+2 structure offering BTech from MIT and Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) from partner universities like Deakin Australia, providing global exposure and dual qualifications but is optional, not compulsory. For MIT Bangalore second round, with rank 9403, admission chances are limited as CSE cutoff typically ranges between 3,000-6,000. Regarding dual degree worth, it offers significant international exposure, dual qualifications, and enhanced career prospects through global partnerships, though requires additional investment and commitment. Recommendation: Choose MIT Jaipur CSE for consistent placement performance, established reputation, and potential dual degree opportunity, while considering VIT Amaravati as strong alternative given superior placement consistency and international exposure compared to limited MIT Bangalore prospects with current rank.

All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Sir the kcet verification slip has been released now. But I have received my re evaluated cbse board marks now and there is an increment of 10 marks in PCM. Can I update my marks now and get a new rank somehow? And what is the procedure for that?
Ans: Yes, you can update your KCET application with your new CBSE marks after re-evaluation. However, whether it impacts your rank depends on the Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) rules and when your revised marks are released—especially in relation to the KCET counseling schedule.

Here's what you should do:
1. Check the KEA Website
Go to cetonline.karnataka.gov.in.

Look for any announcements or FAQs about:

Updating marks after re-evaluation.

Impact on KCET 2025 ranks and verification slip changes.

Check if they mention a process for submitting updated marks from other boards like CBSE.

2. Understand the Timeline
KCET Counseling Start Date:
If your updated CBSE marks come before KCET counseling begins, you’ll likely be allowed to update them.

CBSE Re-evaluation Timeline:
Re-evaluation takes time. Check CBSE’s website for expected timelines so you know when to expect your updated marks.

3. If Re-evaluation Results Come Before Counseling
Collect Documents:

Original CBSE mark sheet.

Revised mark sheet (after re-evaluation).

A copy of the re-evaluation confirmation (if available).

Contact KEA:

Use their official helpline or email (from their website).

Ask specifically how to update your marks in their system.

Follow KEA Instructions:

If allowed, KEA will give you exact steps—possibly uploading documents online or via a specific portal.

Rank Might Change:

If your updated marks are submitted in time, KEA may recalculate your rank using the new scores.

4. If Re-evaluation Results Come After Counseling
Spot Admissions or Special Rounds:

If regular counseling is over, you may not be able to change your application immediately.

However, you might be eligible for spot admissions or extra counseling rounds (if seats are still available).

Stay in Touch with KEA:

Contact them and ask whether your revised marks can still be considered in any remaining rounds.

5. General Tips
Don’t Assume Anything:
Always rely on official updates from KEA and CBSE. Don’t act on rumors or hearsay.

Keep All Records:
Save copies of your application, payment receipts, emails, and any mark sheets (old and revised).

Ask for Help if Needed:
If confused, talk to an education counselor or someone experienced with KCET admissions.
