Question by Dr on Jun 23, 2024Hindi

Hello sir..good morning. I am following your suggestions regularly in this platform which are very apt and rational. Thanks My daughter has secured 16478 rank in JEE mains with 98.97 percentile and 532 rank in KCET. JoSAA 1st round seat allotment is over and allotted with CSE core branch in IIITDM Kanchipuram and chosen float option.Subsequent rounds she may get mostly EEE in NIT Calicut or ICE in NIT Trichy and some probability of CSE in NIT Goa or ECE in VNIT Nagpur or MnC/ AI&data in SVNIT Surat based on our choice preference. KCET counseling is yet to start but based on last year closing rank, she may get ISE or CSE (data science/ cyber security) but not CSEcore branch in RVengineering college bangalore. She understands the importance of securing CSE branch in good college ( but not very interested in coding but her favourite subject is Maths). Given this scenario, kindly chose which academic program (college+branch) to choose. We are ok whatever best suits her career. Look forward to your reply.Regards

Ans: I fully read your question. Please give utmost importance to get admission through KCET (than JEE). (1) I noticed that you have totally missed BMS which also has Data Science, Cyber Security & IoT Options. As far as your daughter's KCET Rank is concerned, she will get any one of these Streams. Consider BMS as your 1st Choice (2) RVCE-DS & CS (3) Please try to ignore ISE, ICE & EEE as these streams are not much suitable for most of the girls (unless interested in). Chances are more, she would definitely get admission into any of the Streams she prefers (than CSE) for her KCET Rank of 532. If not, (4) SVNIT-Surat (6) NIT-Goa. (7) VNIT-Nagpur-ECE.

All the BEST for your Daughter's Bright Future.

Thanks Sir. I would also request you to give your advise on on 1) IIIT DM Kanchipuram - CSE which are allotted though floated. 2) I meant ISE as information science engineering, please clarify why it is not preferrable to female aspirants? 3) RVCE is perceived as no.1 college after NITK in karnataka, reasons for suggesting BMS over RVCE? 4. Which one you suggest CSE core subject Or CSE- data science/ cyber/ AI Kindly support. Thanks a lot

Ans: Information Science is related to building software / embedded applications which your daughter will be interested in? As your daughter's favourite subject is Maths (and not CSE-Core-Software-Coding), Data Science can be preferred. Cyber Security / AL-ML involves coding to some extent, which if she is sure, can manage, have this as a 2nd choice. Regarding BMS & RVCE, though both are equally good, BMS has better NIRF ranking (difference of hardly 15-20) and it is in city limit (Adugodi), whereas RVCE is in Mysore Road (slightly outer). If you are based in Bengaluru, prefer nearby your residence or check whether BMS provides college bus. If your daughter will stay in Hostel, you can choose the more suitable one for her.
