My son got selected in IT VIT Vellore and also CSE Amrita Amritapuri; which is better one to join.

Ans: Jai Sir,

Prefer Amrita for CSE over VIT (IT).

Whatever Institute / University & Branch your Son chooses, he should keep upgrading his skills from his 1st year itself till his Campus Placement during his last year, from NPTEL, Internshala etc. and / or any other online platforms, recommended by his College Faculties, to be COMPETENT among other Students.

All The BEST for your Son’s Bright Future, Jai Sir.

My son got cse in vit chennai, 157 marks in manipal and 82% in pcme(cbse) and 4449 rank in Amrita. And 92 percentile in jee mains. General.Which better to join please suggest
Ans: Among the options, VIT Chennai CSE stands out as the best choice for your son, offering a strong brand, excellent placement records, and exposure to top recruiters like Microsoft, Adobe, and Airbnb. The campus boasts modern infrastructure and a vibrant academic environment, with average packages around ?9 LPA and numerous high-paying offers. Manipal University is a good alternative but generally has slightly lower placement statistics and fewer marquee recruiters. Amrita University is reputable with solid academics and placements but may not match VIT Chennai’s placement scale and industry connections. Given the 92 percentile in JEE Main, admission to top government colleges for CSE is unlikely, making VIT Chennai’s private university status advantageous. Considering your son’s focus on placements and career growth, VIT Chennai offers the best balance of academics, placements, and opportunities. It is recommended to join VIT Chennai CSE for a promising future, while keeping Manipal and Amrita as backup options depending on branch preferences and seat availability. Have other options also as back-ups such as Sathyabhama | Karunya | Sastra, the applications of which are still open, according to their recent advertisements in 'The Times of India'. All the best for your son's admission and a bright future!

Hello Sir/Ma'am My daughter has secured 4150 AIR and 602 Obc Rank What options does she have? She can get tier 3 NLUs, can she get any tier 2 in vacant seats? RMLNLU( she has UP Domicile) ? She can also get DU BA/BBA LLB, should she go there over tier 3 NLUs? Also she is considering taking an edu loan, is it viable for the college options she has?
Ans: Hi Neha Madam,

You have made multiple queries regarding admission opportunities. I am pleased to inform you that she has excellent prospects with an OBC rank of 602 and UP domicile for several top-tier and mid-tier National Law Universities (NLUs) through CLAT.

At RMLNLU Lucknow (Tier 2), there are high chances of securing a seat. Additionally, there are also opportunities available at other Tier 2 universities such as Bhopal, Gandhinagar, and Raipur.

In Tier 2 itself, the chances are promising, so naturally, there are very good opportunities in Tier 3 as well, including universities in Assam, Nagpur, and Shimla.

Regarding Delhi University (DU), both the BA LLB and BBA LLB programs are competitive but possible. However, since she has a good chance of getting into a Tier 2 university, it may be advisable to pursue that option rather than competing for a spot at DU. If she is truly interested in DU, she may apply, but Tier 2 options are more favorable.

Once she joins a university, she can apply for scholarships. Being a meritorious student, she is likely to receive support for an education loan. There's no need to worry; the education loan can be applied for through the Vidyalakshmi portal. Visit the website and register to get support from the bank.

BEST WISHES.

Hello sir, I have been following your suggestion quite on this platform, please suggest! My daughter secured 72 percentile in jee main 2026. Her rank is in in 4 lakhs. Secured 180 marks in bitsat 1. What should she further do. Which counselling she should register? She wants to pursue btech in cse or in ai ml. What best university is for her at the moment and best field for her, she has had pcmb with cs in class 12
Ans: Sarita Madam, I noticed you haven’t mentioned your daughter’s home state. Please note that BITS requires a minimum of 250 marks even for its MSc programs and above 300 marks for BE programs. Also, all branches are good; initially, she should choose a branch based on her interest or passion. However, she should remain adaptable as her preferences or job market trends may change by the 2nd or 3rd year. Regarding your daughter’s score, admission to NITs, IIITs, or top-tier GFTIs is unlikely. For general-category female candidates, even CSE-lite branches in newer IIITs usually require ranks under approximately 1.5 to 2.5 lakh. Still, it is advisable to register for JoSAA and CSAB-SPOT for possible core-branch or self-finance options in lesser-known GFTIs. Additionally, state counseling is important for government-aided colleges.

As a backup, consider reputed private engineering colleges in and around your state rather than relying solely on JoSAA or CSAB. All the BEST for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future!
