Question by Deepa on Jul 07, 2025Hindi

Hello Sir, my daughter got IIT Bhubaneswar- Engineering Physics until Josaa round 4 and also scored 99,90 in Maharashtra CET. Which one should she opt ? She has appeared for BITS too. Pls suggest - She wants to take CS. So we are confused with location n preferences.

Ans: Deepa Madam, You have NOT mentioned your daughter's score in BITS. IIT Bhubaneswar’s B.Tech in Engineering Physics is NBA-aligned with PhD-qualified faculty, advanced photonics, nanotechnology and computational labs, mandatory ISRO/DRDO internships and a flexible curriculum blending physics and computing. However, its focus is foundational science rather than core computer science. Scoring 99.90 percentile in MHT-CET opens seats in Maharashtra’s premier home-state colleges offering CS or related streams for female students: College of Engineering Pune’s CSE with specialisations in AI-DS and Cybersecurity; VJTI Mumbai’s Information Technology and AI-DS; Pune Institute of Computer Technology’s Computer Engineering; Sardar Patel Institute of Technology’s CSE and AI-DS; MIT World Peace University Pune’s CSE, CSE (Data Science) and CSE (AI & ML). All boasting modern AI/ML labs, PhD faculty, robust internships and 80–95% placement consistency over three years. BITS Pilani CSE remains the gold standard for research, Practice School internships and 90–100% placements.

Top 5 MHT-CET Maharashtra Institutes (99.90 percentile) for CS-focused streams:

College of Engineering Pune – CSE (AI-DS, Cybersecurity).

Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute Mumbai – IT (AI-DS).

Pune Institute of Computer Technology – Computer Engineering.

Sardar Patel Institute of Technology Mumbai – CSE (AI-DS).

MIT World Peace University Pune – CSE, CSE (Data Science), CSE (AI & ML).

BITS Pilani CSE.

(If needed, continue with other options.)

For core CSE excellence and proven placement pipelines, Prioritize BITS Pilani CSE if admission is secured. Next is College of Engineering Pune CSE, followed by VJTI Mumbai IT. Then Pune Institute of Computer Technology, Sardar Patel Institute of Technology CSE (AI-DS). MIT WPU CSE (Data Science/AI & ML). IIT Bhubaneswar Engineering Physics is less aligned with her CS aspirations but remains a strong science-research option. MY SUGGESTION: Give 1st priority to BITS for any branch your daughter is very interested in, followed by any one of the top 3 colleges in Maharashtra (mentioned above). Go for Engineering Physics only if she very interested in this domain. All the BEST for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future!
