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?
