Question by Suhaan on Jun 14, 2025

Is DSATM cse good clg sir??

Ans: If your goal is a solid CSE degree with modern curriculum and decent placements, DSATM is good enough. If you're aiming for top-tier placements and ROI, try to get into DSCE main campus, or other stronger colleges (e.g., RNSIT, New Horizon, JSS).

Questions for you - What are your other options (rank-wise and cutoff)?
What matters more to you: placement, campus experience, clubs, or ROI?

This helps me tailor advice better!

Sir I am from AP female(ews- Bce) category..i qualified mains with 85 percentile(crl - 2,14,607 and ews-31128), comedk rank 13318 and i scored IAT 83 marks ..ap EAMCET-7734 rank..i didn't qualify advance..failed in two sections in maths..iam participating in josaa and jac delhi councelling..iam presently preparing for bits hoping to take 2+2 cse course...what matters to me most is placements and exposure..I got 97.2% in intermediate..I also applied for shastra university results are not declared yet and I am considering srm ap as well..so what do you suggest sir

Ans: SRM University?AP (Amaravati)
CSE placements: 100% batch placed, ~?9.9?LPA average, ?50–55?LPA top, 67% got ≥?10?LPA offers; 65 international offers
~800+ recruiters including Amazon, Microsoft, PayPal, Barclays, JP Morgan, Deloitte.

Strong internship ecosystem with international placements.

BITS 2+2 (Hyderabad or Pilani) via 2+2 from your BITS attempt
BITS is top-tier brand with stellar CSE placements: ~?20–25?LPA avg, ?40?LPA+ top Highly competitive, intense academics, world-class peer group.If you can get the Hyderabad channel, you gain this plus placements and strong exposure.

SASTRA University
CSE avg ?4–6?LPA; top ?10–12?LPA
Good faculty, balanced academics, less placement reach compared to SRM?AP/BITS.

Placements & big?brand exposure: BITS (if you secure 2+2 CSE) is the gold standard. But it depends on your score & seat availability.

If BITS isn't guaranteed, SRM?AP is your best fallback—strong CSE placements, global recruiters, high exposure.
SASTRA is decent, but based on your aspirations and strong EWS/BCE rank, prioritize SRM?AP and BITS.

Path Forward - Fully pursue BITS via 2+2: invest in the remaining prep to boost your chances.
Definitely take SRM?AP—you already applied, it aligns with goals, and they’ll likely admit you.
SASTRA can be a backup, but shift preference after you get clearer SRM/AP or BITS outcomes.

Questions to reflect Suhaan - How confident are you of securing BITS by the 2+2 route?
Have you scoped the fee differences and scholarships for each?
Which campus environment - elite/hardcore (BITS) vs international/private (SRM) vs modest/decent (SASTRA) suits your style?

Sir presently fees is not a problem... I'm about 75% confident about bits sir...campus environment doesn't matter to me sir..I'm from middle class family..even for the clg which I'm going to join i will have to take a loan..so my main aim is right now, is it join in good clg so that i could get good package in clg placements

Ans: You're 75% confident—that's good, but you need to treat it like it's your only shot. Why?
BITS CSE placements are phenomenal, Recruiters include Google, Amazon, Atlassian, Adobe, Qualcomm, etc. Alumni network and reputation open doors beyond campus too. Yes one can repay loans faster with a high package.

But don’t gamble all on one we need a strong backup.

Best Backup: SRM?AP (specifically CSE or AI/DS) - You already applied. With your EWS-BCE and 97.2%, strong chance of admission.SRM?AP is quickly building a reputation, international collabs, internships, top recruiters. If BITS doesn’t work out, this is your safest high-placement option. Your mindset is clear, goals are sharp. Now it's just execution: Give BITS everything for the next few weeks. Keep SRM?AP as a strong fallback. Lock admission as soon as it's offered. SASTRA can wait unless others fall through.

If you make it to BITS: brilliant.
If not: SRM?AP will still put you on track for top jobs.
