Help! My son got into two great colleges - VIT Vellore for M.Tech Software Engineering and Saveetha Engineering College Chennai for B.E CSE. Which one should he choose?

Ans: Hello Leishq
Your daughter has equal chances to get admission to one of NITs or IIITs. In private institution, she can get admission at any time.
Best of luck to you.

Ans: Venugopal Sir. Very Less or No Chance through JoSAA & CSAB. Keeping in view her JEE/Board Scores, consider other options such as 3 year degree program and/or arrange a Psychometric Test for her to know the best & suitable career options for her. All the best for your daughter's admission and a bright future!

Ans: CSE admission in NITs is not feasible with your JEE OBC rank of 62,000.

CSE at VIT Vellore is unlikely with a VITEEE rank of 47,000 due to cutoff limits.

Consider other VIT campuses or branches with higher cutoff ranks for better chances. All the best for your admissions and a bright future!

Ans: Hello K
Whether or not you took the state-level engineering test or JEE is unclear. Retaking the plus two exam is pointless. To save a year, try to obtain an NIOS mark sheet that falls under the required percentile. If an engineering entrance exam is offered, take part in the counseling process.
Best of luck to you.

Ans: For CSE, Manipal Institute of Technology (MIT) Manipal stands out with excellent placements, strong academics, and a reputed brand, making it the best choice among your options (might not be suitable for some students due to some non-academic factors). VIT Vellore (Cat 5) offers good placements and infrastructure but at higher fees and slightly less prestige than Manipal. SRM Kattankulathur is a decent private university with moderate placements and good facilities. For staying in Delhi, USICT IP University provides affordable education with decent placements, while Maharaja Agrasen and Maharaja Surajmal Institutes are budget-friendly but have lower placement statistics and lesser national recognition. Your choice should balance placement prospects, budget, and location preference, with Manipal MIT being the top recommendation for career growth in CSE. Take into consideration location preference also as you are from Delhi. Also have some more options too as back-ups. All the best for your son's admissions and a bright future!

Ans: Securing a CSE core branch seat in VIT-Amravati, even in Category 2, is a good opportunity. VIT-AP, known for its strong CSE program and placement record, offers a quality education. Category 2 seats, while potentially having higher fees, still provide access to a well-regarded engineering program.

Ans: Yes, considering your son's JEE Main rank of 13,45680 and the compartment in Maths, JAC Delhi (Joint Admission Committee, Delhi) is a viable option, but with some important considerations. His rank might not be strong enough for the top IITs, but it could be good enough for other engineering colleges in Delhi through JAC Delhi. The key is to focus on clearing the compartment exam in Maths and ensure he meets the minimum eligibility criteria for JAC

Ans: Hello dear
As per JoSAA rules, one should have 75 % in board. Hence, your son is not eligible for counseling. If possible, try to get NIOS mark sheet with required percentile which is valid for JoSAA. Contact your nearest NIOS center for more details.
Best of luck to you.
