Question by Aka on Jul 03, 2025Hindi

Hello, my son is getting B. Tech. CSE seat in GITAM Hyderabad as well as in Mahindra University, Hyderabad. He is waiting for BITSAT counselling as well where he is expecting to get a new course (3+2 programme) launched by BITS Pilani. This course is integrated course where 3 years for BE programme followed by 2 years of MBA from BITSOM. He is expecting Civil Engg. with MBA based on his BITSAT score. Can you please suggest which would be the right choice among these 3 options?

Ans: GITAM School of Technology Hyderabad’s CSE program (NAAC A+ accredited) is delivered by PhD?qualified faculty across AI, data?science, and cybersecurity labs, engaging 900+ recruiters for internships; over 2,262 of 3,474 participants secured placements (~65%) with a median package of ?4.80 LPA. Mahindra University Hyderabad’s B.Tech CSE (NAAC A grade) features multidisciplinary cloud, AI/ML, and cybersecurity labs, partnerships with global firms for six?month internships, and a ~90.7% placement rate in 2023, engaging 48 recruiters with a median package of ?8.50 LPA. BITS Pilani’s new 5-year 3+2 integrated Civil + MBA (NAAC A++, NBA accredited) combines core civil engineering labs (structures, geotech, materials) with two years of MBA at BITSoM, aiming to produce technology-enabled managers; mature placement data for the dual?degree cohort is unavailable, though Civil Engineering at BITS Pilani sustains ~90% placements over three years, and the MBA arm leverages BITSoM’s corporate network.

Recommendation: Prioritise Mahindra University CSE for its proven ~90% placements, robust specialized labs, and global internships. Next, choose GITAM CSE for strong foundational training and broad recruiter engagement. Opt for BITS Pilani Civil + MBA only if your son seeks an elite integrated leadership pathway in civil and can accept inaugural?batch placement uncertainty. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
