Hello Sir, my daughter has got 2 offers to join B.Tech - first one being MIT WPU Pune in Electrical and Computer Engg Branch where the portion of both Electrical Engg and Computer Engg in the ratio 40:40 and with electives, portion of Computer Engg or Electrical/Electronics can be further increased to 60%. The second option she has got in Symbiosis (SIT) Pune in B.Tech in AIML (the degree would be B.tech in AIML and not CSC with AIML). Considering the future in 4 years ahead, which one is the better option and why?

Ans: Difficult to predict how technology will progress 4 years later. Both the courses look good. The first course of CS and Electric / Electronics would help to keep your options open and the 2nd course is very specific to a particular domain. Check the college placements as well. MIT WPU seems to be a better college for Engineering. But would recommend you to talk to students of both colleges before deciding.

My son got 98.49 percentile in CER and he has secured admissions in VIT Chennai for electronics and communications . If we get admissions in VJTI Mumbai should we reconsider the decision of taking admission in VIT
Ans: With a 98.49 percentile in MHT CET, your son is well-positioned for Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering (EXTC) at VJTI Mumbai, as the expected cutoff for this branch is typically between 98.5 and 99.9 percentile. VJTI Mumbai is a top-ranked government institute with a legacy of academic excellence, 95–100% placement rates for EXTC, and an average package of ?11–12 lakh, with top recruiters such as Amazon, Texas Instruments, Samsung, and Deloitte. The fee structure at VJTI is significantly lower than private universities, and its Mumbai location offers excellent industry exposure. VIT Chennai, while A++ NAAC accredited and offering strong placements (90%+ for ECE, average package ?8–9 lakh, 3,160 offers in 2025), has a higher fee (?7.8 lakh tuition plus ?5.4 lakh hostel), and its ECE program is newer compared to VJTI’s established reputation. VJTI’s placement cell is consistently effective, and students benefit from interdisciplinary opportunities and a strong alumni network. The recommendation is to prefer VJTI Mumbai over VIT Chennai if your son secures a seat, as VJTI offers superior brand value, placement consistency, lower fees, and better long-term prospects for Electronics and Communication Engineering. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
