Hello Sir, this is Brahmendra an IT professional for past 20 years. My son is studying +1 and preparing for JEE along with other engineering entrance exams. Academically, he is an above average student (scored 90% in class X CBSE) but has good aptitude & reasoning skills. Somehow, he likes to study mechanical engineering. Q1) Nationally, what colleges are good/best for mechanical? 2) In worst case, if he could not get into premium colleges like NITs, IITs, VITs & CBITs etc., can he still make a good career in that field? 3) Are there enough campus interviews happening for that branch in their industry and do they have enough off-campus opportunities? Being in IT industry, I am aware even an average student with good skills in programming can easily make their career. But when I was teaching him the programming in his previous classes, he did not find it interesting.

Ans: A1. IITs and NITs are best A2. In that case, he should do master's from foreign university A3. Campus interviews and off-campus is less than IT/CSE

My son is in class 11th. He scored 84.6% in his cbse class 10th exams. He scored 99/100 in maths and 74/100 in science. He has chosen PCM with English and physical education. He is interested in computers and wants to become software engineer.what other possible career options will be good for him? He is introvert and takes time to mix with people . Please suggest the roadmap and best coaching options also. Will it be ok to join the online coaching classes for JEE in this year ? Or after completing 12th class, should he take a drop for coaching?
Ans: Please note, (1) Taking a drop after 12th is not advisable. (2) As he is good in Maths, it is better to join at least Online JEE Classes (Allen or AhaGuru) if you are not able to afford for offline regular classes (3) He has to further improve in his Science (4) As he is introvert and interested in Computers / Software, Computer Science would be more suitable for him (5) However, to get admission into any reputed college (anywhere in India), he should score a decent Percentile / Rank in Competitive Exams. (6) Please prepare him for other competitive exams also such as your State Engineering Entrance Exams, COMEDK, SRMJEE, VITEEE, & also other Private Engineering Colleges' Entrance Exams (7) He should appear minimum 5-7 Entrance Exams to have more options open to choose the best one for him. (8) Please go through one of my answers to know about the practical preparation strategies for Entrance Exams. All the BEST for your Son's Bright Future.

Vikas Sir, Prefer VIT-AP, followed by KIIT. As suggested always, your daughter should keep upgrading her skills from 1st year itself till last year (campus recruitment) through NPTEL, Internshala, Coursera, LinkedIn etc. and / or any other online platforms for the same, recommended by her college faculties. All the BEST for your Daughter's Bright Future Sir.

Ans: Hello Manoj.
Do not get stressed at this stage. Even though his score is 91 percentile in 1st attempt, he can do well in 2nd attempt. But from the safer side, ask him to appear in the Karnataka State Engineering Entrance Examination also. Even if he scores less in JEE on 2nd attempt, he may good college via the state entrance examination in CSE or aeronautical engineering as per your wish. For your reference, there are 10 colleges in India where you can get admission without a JEE score. To know more details, please copy and paste the following link into your browser- https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/education/news/10-engineering-colleges-in-india-for-pursuing-btech-without-jee-main-2025-score/articleshow/118162587.cms.
There are no such courses to be called as recent. The choice of courses depends upon the interest of your son. Hence there is no need to hurry and get into panic at this stage. Let him appear for both exams first, Ask about his interests, and then choose the course accordingly. I would be happy to suggest you after knowing his scores in JEE+State entrance + his liking.
Till then, ask him to focus only on two engineering entrance exams. Best of luck to your son for upcoming exams.

If satisfied with the reply, please like and follow me, else ask again.
Thanks
