Hello sir my son has got 99.71 percentile in MH-CET interested in ECE. OPEN GENERAL which college?

Ans: With a 99.71 percentile in MHT-CET (Open General) and a clear interest in ECE, your son is eligible for Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering in the top Maharashtra colleges. Last year’s closing rank for ECE at COEP Technological University, Pune, was 799, and for VJTI Mumbai, it was 1,572, both well within reach at this percentile. Other strong options include Electronics and Telecommunication at Vishwakarma Institute of Technology, Pune (closing rank 5,777), Dr. DY Patil Institute of Technology, Pune (11,276), and Sardar Patel Institute of Technology, Mumbai (1,572), all of which are highly ranked, have strong placement records (over 90% in ECE/ENTC), and are known for experienced faculty and industry connections. These colleges consistently feature in the top NIRF rankings and offer excellent infrastructure, research opportunities, and internship support, making them the best choices for ECE aspirants in Maharashtra. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

My son score 96.69 in jee mains rank 15213, 98.56 in mhtcet, comedk rank 7856, BITSAT 223 score and manipal rank 9730. Please help which top college can he get ece. He has maharashtra domicile
Ans: With a JEE Main percentile of 96.69 (rank 15,213), MHT CET 98.56 percentile, COMEDK rank 7,856, BITSAT score of 223, and Manipal rank 9,730, your son has strong chances for ECE in several top colleges, especially with Maharashtra domicile. In Maharashtra, VJTI Mumbai and COEP Pune are unlikely for ECE as their cutoffs close around 1,200 and 1,250, but he has a realistic chance for ECE at PICT Pune (cutoff up to 1,820), SPIT Mumbai (up to 1,711), and Walchand College of Engineering, Sangli. SGGS Nanded and ICT Mumbai are also possible for ECE or allied branches. Through JEE Main, he can target NITs like NIT Patna, NIT Raipur, NIT Jalandhar, and NIT Meghalaya for ECE, as their closing ranks for ECE are often in the 15,000–20,000 range for open/home state seats, and IIITs such as IIIT Kottayam, IIIT Lucknow, and IIITDM Kancheepuram for IT or ECE. In COMEDK, his rank is suitable for ECE at good Bangalore colleges like Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering and CMR Institute of Technology, though not for RVCE or BMSCE. With a BITSAT score of 223, ECE at BITS Pilani is unlikely, but BITS Goa or Hyderabad for lower-demand branches may be possible. Manipal rank 9,730 may fetch ECE or allied branches at MIT Manipal in later rounds.

The recommendation is to prioritize ECE at PICT Pune, SPIT Mumbai, or Walchand Sangli through MHT CET; also apply for ECE in NITs and IIITs via JEE Main, and use COMEDK and Manipal as strong backups for ECE in reputable Bangalore or Manipal colleges, maximizing options through all relevant counselling rounds. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Career
Is integrated mtech a good course from vit bhopal
Ans: The five-year Integrated M.Tech programs at VIT Bhopal blend undergraduate and postgraduate curricula into a cohesive ten-semester track, featuring NBA-aligned design under NAAC A++ and ABET accreditation. Delivered by a 100% doctoral faculty body, these programs offer cutting-edge laboratories—AI/ML, data science, robotics and cyber-physical systems—backed by research centers and TEQIP-style infrastructure for hands-on learning. The curriculum emphasizes advanced coursework in algorithms, intelligent systems, and big-data analytics, culminating in capstone projects and industry internships during the final year to cultivate practical expertise and employability. Students benefit from the centralized VIT Career Development Centre and a dedicated Placement & Training cell that provide semester-long coding, aptitude training and mock interviews from the first term onward, fueling consistent placement records of over 90% for the last four batches. Strong industry tie-ups with Google, Amazon, Cisco and Microsoft ensure real-world project exposure. The integrated fee structure of approximately ?11.12 L for five years balances long-term investment against accelerated credentialing.

Pros & Cons:
Pros include seamless B.Tech–M.Tech progression, prestigious dual accreditation, research-intensive labs, structured CDC support, and strong placement consistency. Cons cover a heavy five-year commitment, higher cumulative fees, limited branch flexibility after entry, intense course rigor, and potential dilution of broader B.Tech exposure.

For accelerated technical mastery, research immersion, and robust placement pathways in AI, data science, or cybersecurity, the recommendation is to enroll in VIT Bhopal’s Integrated M.Tech. Should you seek greater branch mobility and lower initial costs, consider traditional B.Tech + M.Tech routes elsewhere. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

I have got cse in AIT pune and got ece in nit kurukshetra which is better in both.
Ans: Manoj, Army Institute of Technology Pune’s B.E. in Computer Engineering is NAAC-accredited (Grade A) with NBA-aligned curricula, delivered by primarily PhD-qualified faculty in specialized AI/ML, cybersecurity and software-development labs. The department hosts active technical clubs (open-source, forensics, AR/VR), mandatory internships coordinated by its Career Development Centre and reported placement consistency of 92–97% over the last three years. NIT Kurukshetra’s B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering holds NBA accreditation and a NIRF #17 ranking, taught by experienced faculty in state-of-the-art VLSI, microwave, embedded-systems and DSP labs under TEQIP and DST grants. Its curriculum emphasizes project-based learning, industry MoUs with Siemens and MeitY for internships and empirical placement consistency of approximately 80–85% over the past three years. Both programs ensure rigorous core coursework, robust infrastructure, industry linkages, and accredited standards for engineering education.

For a broader computing focus, higher placement consistency, and specialized software labs, the recommendation is AIT Pune CSE. If you prefer deep ECE specialization, a stronger national ranking, and extensive electronics-communication infrastructure, choose NIT Kurukshetra ECE. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Hello Sir, my daughter got IIT Bhubaneswar- Engineering Physics until Josaa round 4 and also scored 99,90 in Maharashtra CET. Which one should she opt ? She has appeared for BITS too. Pls suggest - She wants to take CS. So we are confused with location n preferences.
Ans: Deepa Madam, You have NOT mentioned your daughter's score in BITS. IIT Bhubaneswar’s B.Tech in Engineering Physics is NBA-aligned with PhD-qualified faculty, advanced photonics, nanotechnology and computational labs, mandatory ISRO/DRDO internships and a flexible curriculum blending physics and computing. However, its focus is foundational science rather than core computer science. Scoring 99.90 percentile in MHT-CET opens seats in Maharashtra’s premier home-state colleges offering CS or related streams for female students: College of Engineering Pune’s CSE with specialisations in AI-DS and Cybersecurity; VJTI Mumbai’s Information Technology and AI-DS; Pune Institute of Computer Technology’s Computer Engineering; Sardar Patel Institute of Technology’s CSE and AI-DS; MIT World Peace University Pune’s CSE, CSE (Data Science) and CSE (AI & ML). All boasting modern AI/ML labs, PhD faculty, robust internships and 80–95% placement consistency over three years. BITS Pilani CSE remains the gold standard for research, Practice School internships and 90–100% placements.

Top 5 MHT-CET Maharashtra Institutes (99.90 percentile) for CS-focused streams:

College of Engineering Pune – CSE (AI-DS, Cybersecurity).

Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute Mumbai – IT (AI-DS).

Pune Institute of Computer Technology – Computer Engineering.

Sardar Patel Institute of Technology Mumbai – CSE (AI-DS).

MIT World Peace University Pune – CSE, CSE (Data Science), CSE (AI & ML).

BITS Pilani CSE.

(If needed, continue with other options.)

For core CSE excellence and proven placement pipelines, Prioritize BITS Pilani CSE if admission is secured. Next is College of Engineering Pune CSE, followed by VJTI Mumbai IT. Then Pune Institute of Computer Technology, Sardar Patel Institute of Technology CSE (AI-DS). MIT WPU CSE (Data Science/AI & ML). IIT Bhubaneswar Engineering Physics is less aligned with her CS aspirations but remains a strong science-research option. MY SUGGESTION: Give 1st priority to BITS for any branch your daughter is very interested in, followed by any one of the top 3 colleges in Maharashtra (mentioned above). Go for Engineering Physics only if she very interested in this domain. All the BEST for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future!
