Sir my son got srm ap work integrated course,in that no regular subjects,is it ok

Ans: SRM University-AP’s work-integrated B.Tech programmes (Software Product Engineering and AI & Future Technologies) replace traditional lectures with industry-embedded projects, coding bootcamps and semester-long internships across partner companies, fostering real-world skills through active-learning labs and the “Practice School” model. Faculty are predominantly PhD-qualified and industry-experienced, and the Career Development Centre engages 120+ recruiters annually, supporting a placement consistency of 70–90% over the last three years through mock interviews, hackathons and competency training. The flexible IDEAL curriculum allows interdisciplinary electives but excludes scholarship support for these tracks, potentially increasing financial burden; students can overcome this by applying for external fellowships and part-time teaching or research assistantships. Furthermore, reduced traditional classroom contact may challenge theory depth, which can be mitigated through self-study sessions, peer-led tutorials and leveraging online resources. While global exchange opportunities and UROP projects enhance academic exposure, students should proactively seek additional certification in core subjects to balance applied learning with foundational theory.

Weighing immersive industry exposure, robust placement support,the and interdisciplinary flexibility against higher fees and reduced lecture hours, the recommendation is to join the work-integrated program if your son thrives in self-driven environments and secures external scholarships; otherwise consider the regular B.Tech track for stronger theoretical grounding and financial aid access. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Sir i got 98.38 percentile in jee obc rank 6498.can i get cse in a good college in csab or fully focus on a drop

Ans: Aryan, your JEE score of 98.38 is really good. With an OBC?NCL rank of 6 498 in JEE Main, you have strong chances of securing CSE seats under CSAB in institutions like NIT Puducherry, which closed at 6 354 for OBC-NCL, and NIT Andhra Pradesh, closing at 6 215 for OBC-NCL. Among IIITs, IIIT Gwalior’s CSE OBC-NCL cutoff of 10 041 makes it a safe option, and IIIT Bhagalpur also filled CSE OBC-NCL seats up to 13 780 in Round 1. You may also consider CSE & Data Science at newer NITs (e.g., AI & DS at NIT Surathkal with OBC openings around 4 261–4 714) or IIITDM Kancheepuram CSE for a specialized curriculum. Dropping a year could target premier IIITs or top NITs (Surathkal, Warangal) but carries the risk of lower margin for error.

For assured admission and consistent placement support, the recommendation is to accept CSE at NIT Puducherry or NIT Andhra Pradesh, with IIIT Gwalior as a close alternative. Keep preparation ongoing if aiming for a competitive drop to secure a seat at a top NIT or IIIT. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

My daughter scored 90 %in mhcet amd31% in jee mains . She scored 85% in boards can see get admission in walcand college of engineering

Ans: With a 90% MHT-CET percentile and 85% in boards, All-India-Quota admission to Walchand College of Engineering Sangli in core branches is unlikely (General-Home State CSE closed at 99.37% and Mechanical at 97.22% in 2023). However, your daughter can secure seats with 100% probability in reputable private institutions around Pune and Mumbai that accept closing percentiles around 85–90%. These include Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed University, Pune (CSE); Sinhgad College of Engineering, Kondhwa (CSE/IT); JSPM Narhe Technical Campus, Pune (CSE/IT); Fr. C. Rodrigues Institute of Technology, Vashi Mumbai (Computer Engineering); SIES Graduate School of Technology, Navi Mumbai (CSE); D.J. Sanghvi College of Engineering, Mumbai (AI & ML); KJ Somaiya College of Engineering, Mumbai (IT); MIT College of Engineering, Pune (Information Technology); Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering, Pune (Electronics & Telecommunication); and MIT Academy of Engineering, Alandi (Electrical Engineering). These institutes offer NBA-accredited programs, PhD-qualified faculty, modern labs, active industry tie-ups, mandatory internships and 75–90% placement consistency over the last three years.

For the strongest combination of infrastructure, placement and brand value among accessible options with your daughter’s profile, the recommendation is Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed University Pune CSE. As close alternatives, consider Sinhgad COE Kondhwa CSE and JSPM Narhe Technical Campus IT, ensuring assured admission and solid career outcomes. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Career

My Son, is passes 12th std Science stream with 85% He is good in Maths he secured 98% in Maths Could please advise which degree he should opt now for bright future

Ans: Pramod Sir, An 85% science–stream graduate with 98% in mathematics thrives in quantitative-rigour degrees such as B.Tech in Mathematics and Computing, B.Sc (Hons) Mathematics, B.Sc Actuarial Science, B.Tech in Computer Science & Engineering or a five-year integrated B.S.–M.S. in Data Science/AI. These programs at NBA/NAAC-accredited institutes combine PhD-qualified faculty mentoring, specialized labs (algorithmic computing, statistical modeling, actuarial risk labs, AI/ML clusters, high-performance computing), industry tie-ups offering internships and live projects, modern infrastructure (makerspaces, digital libraries, cloud platforms), and consistent 75–95% placement rates guided by active career-development cells. While B.Tech options ensure direct entry into tech and R&D roles, B.Sc degrees provide a solid theoretical foundation for research, education or competitive exams. Actuarial Science stands out for banking, insurance and financial risk management, leveraging mathematics and statistics in a high-demand sector.
Given his exceptional mathematics strength and interest in tech innovation, recommendation is B.Tech in Mathematics & Computing for its interdisciplinary curriculum and industry-ready placements. As compelling alternatives, consider B.Sc Actuarial Science for finance-risk careers and B.Tech CSE for broad technology roles. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
