Question by Amit on May 12, 2024Hindi

Listen

Hello experts!! My daughter has appeared in her 12 board examinations this year and wants to pursue Engineering in her career. She scored 94 percentile in JEE mains and preparing for JEE advance. She still has BITSAT and IISER exams to appear at. To be on the safer side, we has applied for a seat at SRM, VIT and Thapar also. She has been alloted CS at SRM main campus and CS (AI and ML) at VIT Chennai. Now, the confusion is whether we should opt for SRM/VIT or wait for BITS, JEE advance and Thapar results. Also, please clarify is she persues CS (AI and ML) at VIT, will she be eligible to apply for Masters in main CS stream.

Ans: Mr. Amit,

Congrats to your daughter who scored 94 percentile in JEE Main.

Please note the following:

As far as the 94 percentile in her JEE Main is concerned, the All India Rank is between 60 to 70000 and it might be difficult for her to get admission into any one of the reputed IITs for CS Branch (or) getting a decent rank through JEE Advanced. So, chances are very less here.

Now coming to other options, compared to VIT, SRM is the better-ranked University as far as Southern India is concerned, with good job placement records, especially from SRM Main Campus at Kattankulathur in Chennai.

Regarding BITSAT Entrance Exam, it is slightly more difficult than JEE Advanced due to more questions candidates have to attempt with less time. So, if your daughter scores around 330 out of 390, then she will be able to get admission into CS.

As far as IISER is concerned, it offers Research-based Programs. It considers JEE Main Score & conducts its own Entrance Exam. However, it is suggested only if your daughter is interested in RESEARCH and secondly, he has to choose the right stream option. As she has to do a lot of Research, IISER will be more stressful, compared to Engineering Programs. If she is confident, she can go ahead with IISER.

Regarding Thapar University, as around 85% of UG Students got placed in 2023, your daughter can try this University as one of the best options.

Your daughter can pursue Master in CS, after completing her CS (AI & ML) with most of the Universities / Colleges both in India & Abroad.

Hope I have clarified all your doubts, Mr. Amit.

If you need any other clarifications / have questions, please ask me.

With Best Wishes from RediffGURU for your Daughter.
