He interested in pursuing cse / dsai/ ai etc. he is getting cse at iit dhanbad and lower iits. he wants to secure top 5/7 iits where he is likely to get metallurgy and material science at iit kharagpur and guwahati . He plans to take up ai/ ml or computer science as minor /electives . Please advise if this would be right track or should we choose lower iits or iiit bangalore

Ans: Prioritize the branch that aligns with his passion. A good branch can lead to a fulfilling career.
Remember that personal interests and long-term goals matter more than the college tag.
Encourage him to explore his interests and make an informed decision.

If your son is passionate about CSE and IoT, SNU Chennai with its specialized program could be an excellent choice.
IIITs: Known for their strong focus on information technology and computer science.
SNU Chennai: Offers CSE with a specialization in IoT (Internet of Things).
If he prefers a broader range of options, consider IIITs with CSE or ECE branches.

Ans: If your son wants a CSE-focused career, choose:

R.V. College CSE (KCET) > PES CSE (KCET) > MSRIT CSE > IIIT Pune CSE > IIIT Surat CSE

If he's open to core engineering and a top NIT tag, choose:

Chemical/Metallurgy at NIT Surathkal / Warangal over newer IIITs/NITs.

Ans: Prashant Sir, PES University’s Ring Road Campus CSE program is NBA- and NAAC-accredited, taught by PhD-qualified faculty, and supported by advanced computing, AI/ML, and networking labs. It recorded an 82.97% placement rate in 2023 with a median package of ?8 LPA and an average of ?8 LPA–?12 LPA, engaging 350+ recruiters including Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Cisco, and Cisco. Among IIITs in your son’s rank range, IIIT Nagpur leads with an 88.5% placement rate, average package ?13.11 LPA, median ?11 LPA, and participation from 200+ recruiters like Adobe and Accenture. IIIT Kalyani follows with an 89.33% placement rate and average package ?10.72 LPA. IIIT Dharwad has a 66%–78% placement rate, average ?10 LPA, and strong industry tie-ups via its Career Guidance Cell. IIIT Kottayam achieved an 83% placement rate in 2024, average ?12.66 LPA with 86 recruiters including Bosch and Infosys. IIIT Bhubaneswar reports a 79% placement rate, CSE average package ?9 LPA and median ?10 LPA across 42 recruiters like Amazon and Capgemini. IIIT Raichur’s emerging 68.8% placement rate with average ?18 LPA and median ?15 LPA positions it as a growing option. All IIITs are Institutes of National Importance, offering robust labs, research centers, student clubs, and industry internships under PPP models.

Final Recommendation: Select IIIT Nagpur CSE for its superior 88.5% placement rate, ?13.11 LPA average package, and diversified recruiter pool. Next, consider IIIT Kalyani CSE & DS for its 89.33% placements and solid PPP backing. Third is IIIT Dharwad CSE, offering a balanced ?10 LPA average, followed by IIIT Kottayam AI & DS for ?12.66 LPA average. Choose PES University CSE only if private-university infrastructure and near-100% placements outweigh the specialized focus of IIITs; IIIT Bhubaneswar CSE and IIIT Raichur CSE serve as reliable backups. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Hello dear.
Prefer CSE @ IIIT Guahati, which is better than ECE at IIITDM Jabalpur or AI/Data Science at NIT Patna. The final decision will be yours.

Good luck.
