Career

Sir which is better CS in Thapar or Mechanical engineering in NSUT dehli

Ans: Vansh, Choose Thapar University CS if you are focused on Computer Science, willing to invest more, and want a reputed private university with strong IT placements.

Choose NSUT Mechanical if you prefer Mechanical Engineering, want a government university with lower fees, good placements, and the advantage of Delhi’s location.

Your decision should primarily be guided by your interest in the branch and career goals, alongside these factors. All the best for your admissions and a bright future!

Question by Sahil - May 10, 2026Hindi

Career

Hello sir I have viteee 2026 rank of 73700 please suggest me can i get cse with specialisations in any of the vit colleges and please mention the category also And also please tell can i get mechatronics or cse(ai and robotics) in vit chennai in any of the categories

Ans: Sahil, With VITEEE rank 73,700, VIT Vellore/Chennai CSE or CSE specialisations are highly unlikely, even in Category 5, because expected Chennai CSE specialisations usually close around 42,000–45,000, and Vellore even earlier. CSE AI & Robotics at VIT Chennai is also unlikely; expected Category 5 closing is around 43,500. However, Mechatronics/Automation at VIT Chennai is possible in Category 5, as 2025 trend estimates placed it around 95,500–96,500. For CSE-related options, try VIT-AP or VIT Bhopal CSE/CSE specialisations, likely in Category 3–5, since wider-access campuses show CSE closing trends up to about 90,000–95,000. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future!

My son has got14222 rank in aeee 2026, cse group in coimbatore chances

Ans: At AEEE 2026 rank 14,222, CSE core at Amrita Coimbatore is unlikely, especially under Other State quota. Available 2024 trend data shows Coimbatore CSE closed around 6,000 (Home State / 3,000 (Other State), and CSE specialisations around 7,000 (Home State) / 4,000 (Other State), so 14,222 is risky for Coimbatore CSE. Better backups are ECE/EEE/E&I at Coimbatore, or CSE/CSE-specialisation at Amritapuri, Bengaluru, Chennai, Amaravati, depending on slab and round movement. All the Best for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

*Subject: MIT Manipal vs Thapar vs LNMIIT for CSE – Worth the fees? Real placement & exposure check for 2026* Hi Gurus, I’m confused between MIT Manipal, Thapar Institute, and LNMIIT forB.Tech CSE. Looking for honest advice from seniors/alumni/experts. 1. *ROI*: All 3 have high fees 30L+. Is the brand name + placements actually worth spending this much in 2026 job market? 2. *Placements*: What’s the _real_ on-ground scene for CSE? Avg/median package, % placed in core tech roles, top recruiters. Not the official brochure stats. 3. *Exposure*: Internships, coding culture, hackathons, research, FAANG/big tech visits — which college gives better opportunities? 4. *Recession impact*: For 2026 batch, are companies still hiring aggressively from these campuses or is it mostly mass recruiters? 5. *Peer group*: Quality of students — does it push you to grow? If you were in my place today, which would you pick and why? Please share any hidd pros/cons I should know. Thanks

Ans: For a very long and complicated question, here is a short/concise reply from our side.

(1) Choose LNMIIT if your top priority is coding culture + ROI + placements.
(2) Choose Thapar if you want the safest overall balance of academics, brand, and opportunities.
(3) Choose MIT Manipal if you value exposure, flexibility, and holistic growth more than pure placement optimization.
(4) LNMIIT > Thapar > MIT Manipal

Good luck.

Sir is it difficult to clear advance for a student who secure 96% in mains.

Ans: JEE Advanced tests deeper concepts and problem-solving speed, but with focused preparation and strong mock practice, it is definitely achievable. For the time being, forget about the 96%ile in Mains. Revise all the concepts and solve PYQS. There is no correlation between the JEE (Main) percentile and the JEE (Adv) examination.

Career

Sir, I passed Class 12th in 2025 with 68% marks in the board exams. Then I took a drop for JEE preparation and also appeared for CBSE improvement exams in 3 subjects. This time, my percentage increased to 76.4%. Sir, next year, in 2027, I will appear for JEE Main again. If I get a good rank in JEE Main, will I still not get admission into an NIT? This year, I scored 92 percentile in JEE Main.

Ans: In 2027, you will be eligible for NIT admission through JoSAA/CSAB if you secure a good JEE Main rank, as NITs consider the latest valid improvement marksheet for the 75% eligibility criterion. However, please review the latest brochure for any changes to the eligibility criteria.

Good luck.
