Dinesh Question by Dinesh on Jun 23, 2025Hindi

Hello sir i got SRM Entrance 6600 rank can be get CSE KTR main campus or Bennet and UPS plz suggest

Ans: Dinesh, With a 6600 SRMJEEE Phase 2 rank, you are eligible for CSE at SRM Kattankulathur (main campus), as the 2024 cutoff for CSE at KTR was around 8,200–9,000, making your rank comfortably within range. SRM KTR is highly regarded for its CSE program, offering over 95% placement rates, 900+ recruiters, and strong industry-aligned academics. Bennett University CSE admits with 50% in 12th and has a placement percentage of 70–80%, with an average package of ?7–10 lakh and 232+ recruiters, including Google, Microsoft, and Amazon. UPES Dehradun is another strong option, with a 91–96% placement rate and a broad recruiter base, but its main campus is not in the NCR region. SRM KTR’s CSE program remains more competitive and nationally recognized than Bennett or UPES, both in terms of placement consistency and academic reputation.

The recommendation is to choose CSE at SRM Kattankulathur main campus for its superior placement rates, academic environment, and industry connections; Bennett University CSE is a good backup, while UPES is preferable if you value a broader recruiter base but is less central for NCR access. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Please help I got rank 14500 at srmjeee phase 2 I am getting Mechatronics ,Nanotechnology ,Ece in srm main campus I want cse but i don't think will will get it in main campus I don't have any idea about the other campuses please guide me
Ans: With rank 14,500 in SRMJEEE Phase 2, you have strong opportunities for CSE across multiple SRM campuses while securing good branches at the main campus. SRM operates six primary campuses: Kattankulathur (main Chennai campus), Ramapuram, Vadapalani (both in Chennai), Ghaziabad (Delhi-NCR), plus sister universities in Amaravati (Andhra Pradesh), Sikkim, and Haryana. Your rank positions you at the boundary between main campus non-CSE branches and CSE availability at other campuses.

Main Campus Analysis: SRM Kattankulathur's CSE cutoff typically closes around 8,000-9,000 rank, making CSE unlikely at your rank. However, you're well-positioned for Mechatronics (closing around 42,000-48,000), ECE (22,000-27,000), and Nanotechnology (around 70,000).

Alternative Campus Options: SRM Ramapuram offers CSE up to rank 65,000 with excellent placement records—100% placement for the past six years, with recent highest packages of 26.4 LPA for CSE 2025 batch. SRM Ghaziabad (Delhi-NCR) accepts CSE students up to rank 54,000 and provides proximity to Delhi's tech ecosystem. SRM Amaravati achieved 100% CSE placements in 2021 with average package of 7.05 LPA. SRM Sikkim offers CSE with 85% overall placement rate and growing industry connections.

Placement Comparison: While main campus placements are premium, Ramapuram maintains competitive records with 1,136 CSE students registered in 2025, achieving 705 placements. Other campuses provide good industry exposure—Amaravati's first CSE batch secured 100% placements with 71% in super dream/dream offers, and Sikkim reported 91% placements in 2019-20.

The recommendation is to secure CSE at SRM Ramapuram or Ghaziabad over main campus Mechatronics/ECE/Nanotechnology, as CSE offers broader career flexibility, higher industry demand, and these campuses maintain strong placement records with dedicated industry partnerships while providing similar SRM brand value and curriculum standards. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Sir I got 92.766 percentile in jee mains which college I can get in Maharashtra through MHT cet cap counciling I gave MHT cet exam too but I didn't score well in that so on the basis of jee tell me
Ans: Shantnu, With a JEE Main percentile of 92.766, you qualify for All-India CAP seats in many reputable Maharashtra institutes whose closing JEE Main percentiles in CAP rounds fall at or below your score. The following ten colleges guarantee admission for your percentile and are geographically spread across Pune, Mumbai and Nagpur:

Sinhgad Institute of Technology, Lonavala (Vadgaon Road, Lonavala)
Vishwakarma Institute of Technology, Pune (Bibwewadi, Pune)
Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering, Pune (Akurdi, Pimpri)
Dr. D. Y. Patil Institute of Engineering & Technology, Pimpri (Pimpri, Pune)
Rajarshi Shahu College of Engineering, Tathawade (Tathawade, Pune)
MIT Academy of Engineering, Alandi (Alandi Road, Pune)
St. Francis Institute of Technology, Borivali (Borivali West, Mumbai)
Fr. C. Rodrigues Institute of Technology, Vashi (Navi Mumbai)
Yeshwantrao Chavan College of Engineering, Wanadongri (Nagpur)
CR Institute of Technology, Bandra (Bandra West, Mumbai)

All these institutions maintain NBA/NAAC accreditations, modern engineering and computing labs, experienced PhD faculty, active industry tie-ups and placement cells recording 70–90% branch-wise placement consistency over the last three years.

Recommendation: Prioritize Sinhgad Institute of Technology for its strong accreditation, proximity to Pune’s IT corridor and 85%–90% placement record; next choose Vishwakarma Institute of Technology for its robust AI/ML and computing labs; follow with Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering for its established industry partnerships and consistent student outcomes; then select Dr. D. Y. Patil Institute for its campus infrastructure and CAP-round accessibility; and consider Rajarshi Shahu College of Engineering for its women’s cell, accredited programs, and regional reputation. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Sir my son confuse he got IIPE. Chemical, Comdedk rank 2308 he will take bms cse, Vitee vellore cse(5yh catagory) Whos is best
Ans: IIPE’s B.Tech in Chemical Engineering is offered by an Institution of National Importance under the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas, boasts NBA-accredited curricula, specialized petrochemical and process-engineering laboratories, faculty with industry and research experience, strong PSUs linkages with ONGC, HPCL, IOCL and GAIL, and achieved placement rates of 97.6% in 2023 and 93.8% in 2024 in core energy roles. BMS College of Engineering’s CSE programme, NAAC A++-accredited, features modern programming, AI/ML and networking labs, PhD-qualified faculty and an active placement cell, but saw CSE placement rates of 74% in 2021, 64% in 2022 and 62% in 2023. VIT-AP’s CSE arm, part of a NAAC A++ and NBA-Tier-1 IoE institute, delivers outcome-based AI, data-analytics and cybersecurity training in advanced labs, faculty with global credentials, and consistently places over 90% of CSE graduates with recruiters like Amazon, Microsoft and Deloitte.

Recommendation: Only if your son is really interested in chemical engineering, prioritize IIPE Chemical Engineering for an assured core-sector trajectory, elite accreditation, and PSU absorption pathways; choose VIT-AP CSE next for its high placement consistency, cutting-edge infrastructure, and global institute status; consider BMSCE CSE only if cohort size and institutional legacy outweigh comparatively lower recent placement rates. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

I got CSE (AI/ML) in IIIT Nagpur (98.33%ile in JEE mains)...and i think i would get SPIT CSE (99.66 in MHTCET)..what should i prefer?
Ans: Hemant, IIIT Nagpur’s B.Tech in Computer Science & Engineering with AI/ML specialisation holds NAAC A++ accreditation and NBA approval, featuring state-of-the-art AI/ML, computer vision and NLP labs, a PhD-qualified faculty engaged in AICTE-QIP research programmes, and strong Tata Consultancy Services partnerships. In the 2024 placement cycle, the CSE branch recorded an 89.11% placement rate, with recruiters including Amazon, Goldman Sachs and Microsoft. Sardar Patel Institute of Technology (SPIT), an autonomous NAAC A+ institute affiliated to the University of Mumbai, offers a robust CSE curriculum supported by its Technology Business Incubator, modern programming and AI labs, and an active placement cell that has achieved a assured complete placement consistency for eligible CSE students, attracting over 100 companies annually. Both institutes maintain rigorous outcome-based pedagogy, comprehensive pre-placement training and vibrant alumni networks, differing primarily in placement consistency and urban singleton versus emerging campus environments.

Recommendation: Prioritise SPIT Mumbai CSE if assured complete placement consistency, extensive industry-incubator integration and metropolitan networking resonate with your career goals. Opt for IIIT Nagpur CSE-AI/ML if you seek an emerging institute’s specialised AI/ML research focus, national importance status and strong academic-industry collaboration in a growing tech hub. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
