Hello sir, I got 99.82 percentile(2900 rank) in Mains. I am interested in Electronics Engineering, preferably IIT-Madras followed by IIT-Bombay. I am likely to get ECE in the following options NIT-Trichy/NIT-Suratkal, IIIT-Hyderabad, IIIT-Bangalore I wanted to know the alternate options. 1. What would be the best option out of the above 4(NIT/IIIT). How would you rate the 4 in terms of preference? 2. If there is a possibility to get IIT-Hyderabad, how is it compared to the above? 3. Is it better to go for Integrated M.Tech option if available (in IIIT-B you need to select first and no flexibility, but I understand that there is an option to select later in IIIT-H and IITs)? Would it be better to take this option if interested in pursuing post graduate or better to take BTech now and keep MS options open? Please suggest. Thanks

Ans: Here is the pointwise reply to your query: (1) IIIT Hyderabad > NIT Trichy > NIT Surathkal > IIIT Bangalore (2) Prefer IIT-H over all 4 above. (3) Prefer B.Tech now + MS later. Choose Integrated only with a clear long-term research goal

Final quick recommendation:
(1) Try: IIT-H ECE (if possible)
(2) Else: IIIT-H > NIT-T > NIT-S > IIIT-B
(3) Degree: B.Tech preferred unless you’re research-focused already

Yet, your choice, preference order, and decision will be final. Refer our recommendations from suggestion point of view only. Your decision may change due to various circumstances.

Good luck.

Thank you for the suggestions sir. One more doubt - IIT-H has EE for Electronics and another IDT branch specific to chip design. What would be a good option to give better flexibility? Thanks.

Ans: Prefer EE (Electronics/Electrical) for flexibility. Yet it is highly recommended to visit the IIIT-H in person for more details and, if possible, talk with the people who are working in this field (if you know any of them)

My opinion/suggestion-
(1) If you are not 100% sure about your career → take EE
(2) If you are very sure about chip design/VLSI → take IDT

The final choice and decision will be yours.

Question by Bhanuprakash - May 06, 2026Hindi

Career

Hello sir, My son has qualified for JEE Advanced getting 99.82 percentile in Mains. He is interested in Electronics Engineering. His first preference is IIT-Madras followed by IIT-Bombay for which he is seriously preparing. Based on his JEE Mains rank, he is likely to get ECE in the following options NIT-Trichy/NIT-Suratkal, IIIT-Hyderabad, IIIT-Bangalore If he gets in the above IITs it is really good, but wanted to know the alternate options. 1. What would be the best option out of the above 4(NIT/IIIT). How would you rate the 4 in terms of preference? 2. If there is a possibility to get IIT-Hyderabad, how is it compared to the above? 3. Is it better to go for Integrated M.Tech option if available (in IIIT-B you need to select first and no flexibility, but I understand that there is an option to select later in IIIT-H and IITs)? Would it be better to take this option if he is interested in pursuing post graduate? He had the option of taking CSE as well, but he is not really interested in taking it up - his point is you can learn software coding anytime, but this is more interesting. Please suggest. Thanks

Ans: Bhanuprakash Sir, Before addressing your question, I would like to share my opinion: it is better to prefer ECE over CSE, aligning with your son's wishes. Regarding your question, IIT Hyderabad stands out as a better option compared to NITs and IIITs, provided he secures an EE/ECE-related branch. This is due to IIT Hyderabad’s strong brand value, robust research ecosystem, and an impressive official median CTC of ?28.99 LPA for EE in 2023–24. IIIT Hyderabad is also excellent for ECE due to its research-focused curriculum that emphasizes electronics, communications, signal processing, VLSI, and embedded systems early in the program. NIT Trichy and NITK serve as safer, broad-brand alternatives with consistently strong ECE placements. For instance, NIT Trichy has reported about 95–98% ECE undergraduate placement rates in recent years.

Regarding the choice of integrated M.Tech, it is advisable only if he is certain about pursuing research or higher studies. Otherwise, the 4-year B.Tech offers greater flexibility. All the Best for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

My son got seat in SRM in cse gaming is there good placement in this field.

Ans: Anoj, if your son is genuinely interested in this branch, he can pursue this. SRM has good overall placements. However, separate branch?wise CSE Gaming statistics are not publicly broken out in official reports; most data is aggregated under CSE/Computer Science, so gaming?specific roles (game dev, QA, and tools) exist but are embedded in the broader CSE?placement pool.

I have 25k rank in AEEE and home state quota in Kerala, Can i get admission for Ai and data science

Ans: With AEEE rank around 25,000 + Kerala home-state quota, AI & Data Science at Amritapuri is difficult, because recent trend data shows AID closing much earlier than 25k, even for home-state slabs. Amrita confirms B.Tech admission is through AEEE/JEE + CSAP counselling.

Still, fill choices broadly: AI & Data Science, CSE-AI, Cyber Security, ECE, ELC, and EEE at Amritapuri, plus Amaravati/Faridabad/Nagercoil/Haridwar if acceptable. Have the backups of KEAM Kerala counselling, private Kerala/Tamil Nadu colleges, and Amrita lower-demand branches. The AI/Data Science chance improves only if vacancy/fee slab extends significantly.

Hi Sir, I got Intermediate marks : 991 Jee mains percentile: 94.01 TGEAPCET :65 Marks VITEE : 12774 RANK BITSAT : 196Marks ..aiming for 300 next phase Wrote ugee well, Applied for amrita in jee mains quota Applied for sastra Suggest me next move..like which college suits me..i am looking forward for CSE and ECE PLEASE HELP ME

Ans: Best next steps are keep BITSAT Phase-2 as highest priority. At 196, BITS CSE/ECE is difficult, but 300+ can open ECE/EEE and maybe better options (scoring 300+ from 160 will be highly challenging; still, you must try). With JEE 94.01 percentile, top NIT/IIIT CSE is unlikely, but try JoSAA/CSAB for lower IIIT/GFTI branches. Your VITEEE 12,774 gives good chances for VIT Chennai/AP/Bhopal CSE-related and possible non-core options at Vellore. Amrita through JEE is worth trying through CSAP, as Amrita accepts AEEE/JEE scores. SASTRA is strong because 991 Intermediate marks help, since admission uses JEE + Class 12 weightage. Prefer: BITS if 300+ > VIT/Amrita CSE > SASTRA CSE/ECE > TG EAPCET options. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future!

I got vit Rank 60625 can I get ece in vit ap category 1

Ans: Abhinay, With VITEEE rank 60,625, ECE at VIT-AP Category 1 is unlikely. Recent trend sources indicate VIT-AP ECE Category 1 may close around 50,000, while higher categories may extend further. Still, you must try. Better preference order: ECE Category 2/3 > ECE VLSI/Embedded > Electronics & Computer Engineering > EEE > Mechanical/Robotics. Keep VIT Bhopal/AP alternate branches and state counselling/private colleges as backup. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future!

Sir I have got 70210 rank in VITEEE which college I get it I want to pursue cse with which category. Also I got 427736 rank in jee mains, can I get good government or private college for femalefrom Rajasthan, obc category.

Ans: With VITEEE rank 70,210, CSE core is unlikely at Vellore/Chennai, but VIT-AP or VIT Bhopal CSE/CSE specialisation may be possible, mostly in higher fee categories, likely Category 3–5 depending on vacancy. With JEE Main CRL 4,27,736, OBC female, Rajasthan, NIT/IIIT/GFTI CSE chances through JoSAA are almost nil. You can try CSAB Special Round, but expect only very low-demand GFTI branches, if any. Have 4-5 other reputed private colleges as backups including REAP Rajasthan counselling, RTU/Kota-affiliated private colleges, JECRC, Poornima, SKIT, Manipal Jaipur, and Amity Jaipur.

Career

My daughter got 57194 in vitee. She wants ece in vellore or chennai. Whats the probablity?

Ans: Rashmi Madam, With VITEEE rank 57,194, ECE at VIT Vellore is difficult and should be treated as low probability. ECE at VIT Chennai is also not easy but may have a small chance in higher fee categories if seats remain during her counselling phase. VIT counselling is rank-, choice-, category- and seat-availability based; rank 45,001–70,000 fall in Phase 3 choice filling. Best preference order: Chennai ECE > Vellore ECE > Chennai EEE/ECM/Mechatronics > Vellore EEE > VIT-AP/Bhopal ECE/CSE-related. Keep backup options (4-5 other reputed private colleges) ready because ECE demand is usually high. All the Best for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future!

Question by Amit - May 11, 2026Hindi

Career

Sir, my son has secured 12300+ rank in SRM JEEE 2026 and 70000+ rank in VITEEE. Is there possibility of getting CSE core or CSE AI/ ML in SRM KTR campus... Also pls share that what options I can get in VIT Chennai on this rank ( VIT Vellore seems very tough to get on this rank)...What branch should I fill as preference in VIT Chennai... I can get CSE core in VIT AP but not willing to join there... So should I prefer KTR campus with CS or VIT Chennai with branch other than CS ( as I will not get CSE there)...thanks in advance.

Ans: Amit Sir, at SRMJEEE, 12,300+ SRM KTR CSE core is doubtful, but CSE-AI/ML, Data Science, Cloud, Big Data, CSBS, or AI may be possible depending on vacancy/phase. SRM officially offers these KTR CS options.

At VITEEE 70,000+, VIT Chennai CSE/ECE are unlikely. You can fill EEE, Mechanical, Mechatronics/Robotics, Civil, Fashion/Design-related tech options if available in higher categories. Vellore is tougher.

My preference: SRM KTR CS-related branch > VIT Chennai non-CS > VIT-AP CSE, only if there is no objection. Backups you can have are SRM Ramapuram/Vadapalani CS and 4-5 other reputed private colleges in and around your State. All the Best for Your Son's Prosperous Future!
