B.Tech Student's Dilemma: Which Stream to Choose?

Ans: HI Duman,
Kindly share the rank details.

Ans: HI Mohd,
Kindly share your domicile and rank details.

Ans: Hi,
Being in the general category with a rank of 1.2 lakhs, admission is possible in private colleges. Instead of pursuing medicine abroad, I suggest completing the course in India. If your heart is set on medicine rather than engineering, discuss it with your parents and work towards your goal. Even if you choose to study abroad, the expenses will exceed 50 lakhs.

Ans: Hi, both can be pursued on a part-time basis, so it's better to take the core course.

Ans: Hi, please share your 12th-grade marks before we proceed further.

Ans: Why Biotech? In biotechnology, we have different specializations such as animal, plant, food, and pharma. Which one are you planning to pursue? Before selecting a specialization, consider its future prospects. Also, look into the facilities available for biotechnology at the institute you are considering. Many institutes lack basic requirements, and students often perform activities in a laminar flow hood without using a sterile room or closed circuit.
Before selecting biotech, kindly go thru the webstie of respective institutions.

Ans: Hi, please share your 12th-grade marks before we proceed further.

Ans: HI Archana,
Instead of institution, go for ranking the course.
CSE.

Ans: KJ Somaiya Vidyavihar (KJSCE) and NMIMS Mumbai Main Campus both offer strong BTech CSE programs with robust placement support, industry connections, and modern infrastructure. KJSCE is NBA-accredited, has academic autonomy, and consistently achieves 95–100% placement rates, with a median package of ?7.6–8 lakh and top recruiters like Amazon, Microsoft, Infosys, and Deloitte. The curriculum is industry-oriented, and the faculty is highly rated by students for teaching quality and mentorship. NMIMS Mumbai’s BTech CSE is NAAC ‘A’ grade accredited, offers specializations in AI, Data Science, and Cybersecurity, and provides excellent industry exposure through internships and projects, with a high placement rate and top recruiters such as Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and TCS. NMIMS emphasizes practical and interdisciplinary learning, but its program is newer than KJSCE’s and has a higher fee structure. Student reviews rate both colleges similarly for placements, faculty, and campus life, but KJSCE has a longer legacy and slightly better return on investment. The recommendation is to prefer KJ Somaiya Vidyavihar (KJSCE) for BTech CSE due to its established academic reputation, consistently high placement rates, experienced faculty, and value for money, unless you have a strong preference for NMIMS’s specialized curriculum or brand. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
