Hello Sir, My daughter has secured AI in VNIT Surat in round 1 of CSAB. In second round, she may get NIT Warangal EEE, VNIT Nagpur ECE, CS at IIIT GWALIOR, ECE at IIIT Allahabad and ECE at NIT Allahabad as cut off are closed to her CRL of 16k. Kindly suggest which options are best and we can block the seats. She is inclined to get CS or related subjects in reputed college. Kindly advice.

Ans: HI Dr. You have to choose only one best option from the available and that too from a CS point of view because your daughter is inclined to CS. If so, either go with AI in VNIT Surat or wait for CS at IIIT Gwalior. However choosing IIIT over NIT is not preferable. Hence either remain the sear with AI of choose any NIT where you will get the seat.

If you found this suggestion helpful, please consider following me.

Thanks. Sorry, I need one more clarification, why IIIIT Gwalior is not preferred over SVNIT Surat for CS as you mentioned in last response. Gwalior is second best govt IIIT in India after Allahabad. Please.clarify.
Ans: No Sir, I said you can wait for CS at IIIT Gwalior in my 1st reply. But when you asked 2nd time, it seemed that there was some dilemma in your mind about the security of the seat and whether she would get it or not. Hence replied to block the seat for AI and become worry-free. Keeping options open for consecutive rounds is not advisable, if someone is getting a better option in 1st round. You can opt for CS from Gwalior or Surat, does not make a difference. Both are very good colleges. Only from your city, choose the nearest one.

If yet, you have any problem, feel free to ask.

Thanks. We will block this seat (AI in NIT surat) and got to round 2 CSAB. Request you to refer your earlier response u have mentioned IIIT is not preferred over NIT. I think u have a genuine point. Kindly explain. This may benefit my daughter. Tomorrow is last date to give options in round 1 (float/reject...etc)
Ans: Thanks. A lot of things can't be explained in writing. What we say is with experience and fairly talking with our previous passed-out students. NIT brand is always superior to IIIT. Hope you may understand our limitations here to write in detail. Till you have time by tomorrow. Wait till morning. Even if you have any queries, pl ask, get clarified, and then go with option you wish.

Thanks Sir. We have opted float in Csab II round. She has secured CS in IIIT Gwalior which was the higher preferred choice over EEE NIT WARNAGAL, AI at NIT Surat and ECE VNIT Nagpur based on last year cut off. We never opted during choice filling NITs of Durgapur/ kurukshetra/ Delhi ..etc due to distance and other concern. Admission is also done on 12th august and she was very keen on taking academic program through JoSAA only instead of KCET though she had 532 rank. Now she is happy that she got a good college that too her rank is the closing rank for CSE. Thanks so much for your support and adviice
Ans: Welcome.
Congratulations on the grand success of your daughter. I wish her the best of luck for a bright future.
Now ask her to join some online/offline AIML-related courses i.e. Artificial Intelligence Machine Learning

Ans: Nidhi, South Asian University in New Delhi offers a four-year B.Tech in Computer Science & Engineering with a cutting-edge, interdisciplinary curriculum spanning foundational (Advanced Calculus, Engineering Physics), emerging (Blockchain, Soft Computing, Wireless Networks), and research-oriented courses, supported by a 1:4 faculty-student ratio of predominantly PhD holders from JNU, IIT Delhi and abroad, and modern labs and digital classrooms. Thapar University in Patiala’s three-year B.E. in Electronics (Instrumentation & Control) combines rigorous analog/digital electronics, sensors, control systems, and process automation with extensive hands-on lab work, backed by a 1:20 average faculty-student ratio of PhD-qualified and industry-experienced professors, and a 250-acre campus featuring advanced workshops, Wi-Fi, separate AC/non-AC hostels, sports and research facilities.

Dear Sir, As per marks in CET for my daughter, we have below options. Options 1 - Pimpri Chinchwad University - Btech in CS Option 2- Depending on CAP rounds PVPIT - TSSMS college bavdhan Option 3- Indira College of engineering and management Avoiding DY Patil International ..so question is . Our preference is PCU but it follows under private university and its 3rd year of the college however they PCCOE trust runs the college. Indira and PVPIT follows under SPPU ..will there be any risk to choose PCU as it's private university or should we go for any SPPU College Regards
Ans: Pimpri Chinchwad University (PCU) in Pune, run by the PCET trust, offers B.Tech CSE under a private-university umbrella with a modern 40-acre campus near Nigdi and centralized placement support across PCET institutes. Its nascent third-year status means no PCU-specific placement history yet, though the Trust’s institutes delivered 2,147 offers to 1,662 students in 2022 with 80–90% average branch placements, varied recruiter base (TCS, Cognizant, IBM, L&T Infotech) and high peak packages. Tuition of ?8.4–9.6 L aligns with Trust-wide standards, while infrastructure and labs are still maturing. PVPIT (Bavdhan), a 2006-established SPPU-affiliated college, holds NAAC A grade and AICTE approval, charging ?4.4 L total fees. Its 2024 CSE placements saw an average package of ?3.5 LPA and highest ?11 LPA, recruiting from Infosys, Capgemini, Tata Motors and IBM with ~81% placement consistency. Campus spans 9 acres, offering well-equipped labs and NAAC-accredited curricula. Indira College of Engineering & Management (Parandwadi), under SPPU since 2007, holds NAAC B++ accreditation, fees around ?4 L per year, and reported a 2024 average CSE package of ?4 LPA with top recruiters like Samsung, Mercedes-Benz and TCS, achieving ~60–70% branch placements. It provides industry-focused training, modest infrastructure and established alumni.

For proven SPPU affiliation, established accreditation, and balanced placements at moderate fees, the recommendation is PVPIT Bavdhan CSE. Next, for a well-rounded CSE experience under a strong SPPU umbrella, choose Indira College of Engineering & Management, Pune. Finally, if you value long-term PCET trust backing and can accommodate higher fees with potential campus growth, select Pimpri Chinchwad University Pune CSE. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Good morning sir iam from andhra pradesh my son got 93.31 in jeemains ews but still now no seat allotment in josaa what can we do ? Any hope sir?
Ans: With a 93.31 percentile in JEE Main under the EWS category, all JoSAA EWS seats in NITs, IIITs and GFTIs are already closed by ranks well below this mark, making further allotment unlikely. CSAB-Special rounds follow the same merit list and will not open additional EWS seats beyond JoSAA’s allocation. As an alternative, consider private institutions in Andhra Pradesh that accept JEE Main scores without domicile constraints, offering accredited curricula, modern labs, industry internships and 80–95% placement support:
Vignan’s Foundation for Science, Technology & Research (Guntur), Velagapudi Ramakrishna Siddhartha Engineering College (Vijayawada), Aditya University (Kakinada), Godavari Global University (Rajahmundry), Vishnu Institute of Technology (Bhimavaram), Narasaraopeta Engineering College (Narasaraopet), Chaitanya Bharathi Institute of Technology (Macherla), PVP Siddhartha Institute of Technology (Vijayawada), VIT-AP University (Amaravati), Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham (Amaravati).

For guaranteed admission with robust infrastructure and placement links, the recommendation is Vignan’s Foundation for Science, Technology & Research Guntur. If metropolitan industry exposure is preferred, recommendation shifts to Velagapudi Ramakrishna Siddhartha Engineering College Vijayawada. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
