Hello Mr Nayagam, my son (General category) got JEE mains rank of 15K and BITSAT score of 276, what courses do you suggest for him in order of preference?

Ans: Prefer BITS Sir over JEE-Institutes, if you are able to afford for BITS, the fees of which would be around 35.00 Lacs for 4-years. Now coming to Courses for BITS you can try, on the basis his Rank / in order of preference with BITS-Pilani (1) ECE (2) Mechanical (3) Electrical & Electronics (4) Electronics & Instrumentation (5) Chemical. For BITS-Hyderabad (1) CSE (slightly difficult, still can try) (2) ECE (3) Electrical & Electronics (4) Electronics & Instrumentation (5) Mechanical. For BITS-Goa (1) CSE (less chance, but can fill in Counselling Choice) (2) ECE (3) Electrical & Electronics (4) Mechanical. You can also try for BITS-Dubai with BITSAT / 10+2 Score if you are able to afford for Dubai Campus. Now coming to JEE, please note, it is difficult to get admission into top NITs for high-in-demand Streams. However, he can try for Tier 2 NITs which he can check online along with the data of opening and closing ranks of last year for each year to get an idea. All the BEST for your Son's Bright Future.
