Hello Sir . I am passionate in Robotics and looking for Btech in Mechatronics. Got Vit chennai in cat3 for Mechatronics, which will cost around 28lakh for 4 years including hostel. Chances are very less to get seat in Amrita, SRM and Manipal. Already secured admission in MPSTME, NMIMS, Mumbai which will cost 18lakh for 4 years. Awaiting for MHCET result. I am not eligible for JoSSA counseling. Can some please guide me what path I shall follow- 1. Is it worth spending this much money in VIT Chennai for Mechatronics? 2. Shall I continue with MPSTME Mumbai ( we are from Mumbai only)? 3. Shall I look for other college thru MHCET in Mumbai with lower fees and then pursue masters in Robotics for good college after Btech? 4. Any further option if you can suggest. Robotics is my passion so not looking for any other branch.

Ans: Your son’s admission options include Electrical Engineering at NIT Silchar through JoSAA, Mechanical Engineering at NIT Kurukshetra via CSAB Round 1, and Manufacturing Engineering at BITS Pilani. NIT Silchar’s Electrical branch shows consistent placement rates around 80% with top recruiters like Amazon, offering average packages near Rs 12 LPA. NIT Kurukshetra’s Mechanical branch has an approximate 80% placement rate, with major industrial recruiters and average packages in the Rs 7.5-8.2 LPA range. BITS Pilani, known for its exceptional academic environment and strong industry connections, particularly excels in placements with nearly 90-100% of students placed, offering average packages in the range of Rs 18-20 LPA. Its manufacturing engineering branch benefits from this robust ecosystem despite lack of specific branch-wise data. Considering academic reputation, faculty quality, infrastructure, placement opportunities, and alumni network, BITS Pilani provides the most promising overall prospects. NIT Silchar and NIT Kurukshetra have good regional standing and opportunities but comparatively moderate placement outcomes.

The recommendation is to prioritize admission at BITS Pilani for Manufacturing Engineering due to superior placement outcomes, institutional prestige, and strong industry ties. If BITS is not preferred or feasible, NIT Silchar (Electrical) is a better option than NIT Kurukshetra (Mechanical). Waiting for further CSAB rounds is only advisable if aiming for significantly better branches or colleges aligned with your son’s rank. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!
