Ans: Hello,

First and foremost, thank you for getting in touch with us. I am happy to hear that your daughter has completed a minor in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). I would like to let you know that having completed this course, she could think about pursuing specialized courses abroad in Robotics, Deep Learning, Data Science, or Computer Vision. The USA, the UK, Canada, Australia, and Germany are well-known for providing specialized programs in AI and ML with outstanding educational and employment opportunities. Post completing such courses, your daughter could take up roles such as that of a Data Scientist, Robotics Developer, Machine Learning Engineer, AI Engineer, and Research Scientist. These fields are highly sought-after around the world and offer excellent employment opportunities.

Ans: Sunil, Scaler School of Technology, launched in 2023, offers a four-year B.Sc+M.Sc in CS & AI designed by industry leaders, featuring mandatory one-year paid internships and polished AC classrooms with an innovation lab, charging a total fee of ?16.25 Lakh; however, it is not recognized by UGC/AICTE and relies on Scaler Academy’s placement record of 1,300 alumni at an average package of ?20 LPA. Chitkara University (estd 2010) is UGC/AICTE-approved, NAAC A+ and ranked #94 in NIRF 2024, with a 93.8% B.Tech placement rate, a median package of ?9.5 LPA, and top recruiters including Infosys, Amazon, and Deloitte. Graphic Era University (estd 1996) holds NAAC A+ accreditation, engages 250+ recruiters yearly, records a highest package of ?54 LPA and a median of ?6.42 LPA for B.Tech, and provides state-of-the-art labs with PhD faculty. Newton School of Technology (estd 2023) partners with 2,000+ companies, achieves a 98% placement rate with average packages of ?12 LPA and early internship exposure, but lacks formal accreditation and is building its campus ecosystem.

Recommendation: For a fully recognized engineering degree with sustained placement outcomes and strong accreditation, recommendation is Chitkara University. Next in preference is Graphic Era University, offering extensive recruiter engagement and impressive top packages within an established university setting. Newton School of Technology is third, delivering intensive placement support and early paid internships but lacks formal UGC/AICTE accreditation. Scaler School of Technology ranks lowest due to its non-accredited B.Sc+M.Sc model, high fees, and reliance on parent-company placement data. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Unnati, With an IAT overall rank of 60,486 and SC category rank of 4,992, admission to any IISER is not possible. The SC closing ranks for IISERs in 2024 and expected 2025 are far lower—typically below 800 for even the newest campuses, and major IISERs close between 200–800 for SC. Your rank is well above these cutoffs, so seat allotment is not feasible.

Recommendation: Apply to central/state university BSc programs or consider NISER/CBS, where SC cutoffs are more flexible and science research opportunities remain strong. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: With a 94 percentile (≈36,000 rank) in MHT-CET EWS category, she is likely to secure CS/IT/ECE seats at private and government institutes. MIT WPU’s CSE and ECE seats closed at 93–94 and 89 percentile respectively. VIIT Pune’s CSE cutoff for EWS was 85.54 percentile. Sinhgad Academy of Engineering’s CSE home-state closing rank was 29,465–29,475 (≈94 percentile). Government College of Engineering & Research Avasari Khurd ECE EWS cutoff ranged 83.47–87.66. All these colleges hold NBA/NAAC accreditation, modern labs, and achieve 80–95% placements, offering strong academic and industry exposure.

Recommendation: Considering both placement potential and academic rigor, she should prioritise MIT WPU CSE for its balanced cutoff and infrastructure, followed by VIIT Pune CSE for excellent EWS seat accessibility, and Sinhgad Academy CSE as a cost-effective government-backed option; during CAP rounds, monitor these choices to secure a preferred seat. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
