Confused engineering aspirant with multiple good options: How to choose the best fit?

Ans: Ashok Sir, Order of Preference (1) RVCE-CSE (fees would be around / minimum 3.00 lacs-year. Go for this, if you can afford for it). Else, Prefer NIT-S-EEE. Have MTech as your 3rd choice. Let him complete his 4-year BTech / BE and work for 2-3 years and then decide for his Masters either in India or abroad, depending upon his interest / your affordability / job market scenario etc. All the BEST for your Son's Bright Future.

Ans: Sir
If he is interested in Computers then RVCE.
Mechanical is a core branch & Surathkal is amongst top NIT you can go ahead with it

Ans: Katikala Madam, All four institutes excel in accreditation, faculty expertise, infrastructure, industry linkages, and placement consistency. IIT Goa’s CSE department, backed by NAAC A++ accreditation, features dedicated AI and cloud labs and records a 90.7% BTech placement rate in 2024 with recruiters like Adobe, Siemens, and Google. IIIT Bangalore (NAAC A+) offers state-of-the-art high-performance computing and data-science facilities, achieving an average CSE placement consistency of approximately 84% over the last three years, with top recruiters such as Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft. NIT Surathkal’s ECE programme, an Institute of National Importance with NBA accreditation, maintains specialized VLSI and signal-processing labs and has achieved branch-wise ECE placement rates of 96.4% in 2023 and 72.7% in 2024, drawing recruiters like Microsoft, Samsung, and Qualcomm. RVCE’s CSE (NAAC A+) boasts modern cybersecurity and IoT labs and demonstrates a three-year CSE placement average around 88% (93% in 2023, 75% in 2024), with key hires from Cisco, PayPal, and Qualcomm. Institute reputation steers global recognition: IIT Goa and IIIT Bangalore offer strong national eminence, NIT Surathkal affords robust core engineering tradition, and RVCE provides urban industry access and alumni networks.

Recommendation: Prioritize IIIT Bangalore CSE for its sustained placement consistency and premier industry ties; next, choose IIT Goa CSE for cutting-edge AI labs and rising placement rates; follow with NIT Surathkal ECE for established core-electronics strength; and select RVCE CSE last for its urban internships and solid recruiter diversity. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
