I have also interest in cse

Ans: Mayank, Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra’s Electrical and Electronics Engineering department is staffed by PhD-qualified faculty working on power systems, electronics, and control, supported by laboratories for electrical machines, power electronics, and drive systems, and records a 69% placement rate with an average package of ?11.5 LPA. Its Electronics and Communication Engineering arm offers VLSI and signal processing labs, with a 60% placement rate and an average package of ?16 LPA. Tier-III NITs such as NIT Jamshedpur boast 100% ECE placements, NBA accreditation, long-standing alumni networks, and consistently >90% placement rates across core branches. IIITs at Kalyani, Ranchi, and Bhagalpur follow a public-private model with research-active faculty, modern computing and AI labs, and centralized placement cells, achieving CSE placement rates of 89.3%, 72.1%, and 98.6%, respectively. Robust CSE roles are available across these institutes through industry-aligned curricula, mandatory internships, and active T&P cells.

Considering your interest in CSE and the higher placement consistency of Tier-III NIT ECE (100% at Jamshedpur) and IIIT Bhagalpur CSE (98.6% placements), recommendation is to pursue ECE at NIT Jamshedpur or CSE at IIIT Bhagalpur over BIT Mesra EEE, ensuring stronger core?engineering roles and industry integration.

Ict ioc is best or nit manipur/mizoram civil is best . I confused what should I do .
Ans: The ICT–IOCL Odisha Campus offers a unique five-year integrated M.Tech in Chemical Engineering with minors in six disciplines, blending nine trimesters of on-campus coursework with six trimesters of paid industrial internships, led by PhD-qualified faculty in state-of-the-art labs and backed by NAAC A++ accreditation and merit-cum-means scholarships. In contrast, National Institute of Technology Manipur’s four-year B.Tech in Civil Engineering admits 38 students per year, is NIRF-ranked 101–150, features foundational structural, geotechnical, and environmental labs under government funding, and achieved a median UG package of ?8.75 LPA with 147 of 161 graduates placed in 2024. NIT Mizoram’s B.Tech Civil cohort (34 seats) recorded a 100% placement rate in 2024 with a median package of ?6 LPA and recruiters such as Adobe and Tech Mahindra, all within its Institute of National Importance framework and burgeoning permanent campus near Aizawl Airport.

Recommendation: If your goal is industry-immersive chemical engineering training with guaranteed stipends and entrepreneurial focus, choose ICT–IOC Bhubaneswar; for a core civil engineering pathway with strong government support, higher civil-branch placements and national-level credentials, opt for NIT Mizoram, with NIT Manipur as a solid fallback. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

My son has secured a seat in the AI & Data Science course at IIIT Kota through JoSAA counselling. Kindly guide us regarding the scope and future opportunities in AI & DS under current circumstances. Also, should we still consider participating in CSAB rounds, or is it advisable to retain this seat?
Ans: The B.Tech in Artificial Intelligence & Data Engineering at IIIT Kota was established in the 2024–25 academic session with an annual intake of 60 students, offering a curriculum that blends foundational AI, data science, and hands-on project work under PhD-qualified faculty. As a newly launched branch, the first cohort has not yet graduated, so there are no branch-specific placement records for 2024 or 2025. However, IIIT Kota’s established CSE and ECE branches have reported strong placement statistics in 2024, with an overall placement rate of 74% and average packages above ?12 LPA, indicating a positive recruitment environment for computing disciplines. The AI & DS program is designed to meet current industry demand for data scientists, AI engineers, and analytics professionals, leveraging the institute’s growing partnerships with leading tech firms and its status as an Institute of National Importance. Participation in CSAB rounds may be considered if you are targeting higher-ranked NITs, IIITs, or core CSE branches, but for most candidates, the current AI & DS seat at IIIT Kota offers a robust platform for future opportunities in AI, machine learning, and data analytics.

Recommendation: Retain the AI & Data Science seat at IIIT Kota for its modern curriculum, strong institutional reputation, and emerging placement ecosystem; participate in CSAB only if you have a realistic chance at a core CSE seat in a higher-ranked NIT or IIIT, otherwise focus on maximizing opportunities in the current program through internships and research projects. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
