CSE in amritha vishwa vidyapettam nagarcoil is better or BMS banglore better
Ans: Ramprasad, BMS College of Engineering Bangalore (BMSCE) CSE is widely recognized for its strong academic reputation, experienced faculty, and robust industry connections, with a consistent 80–90% placement rate for CSE, average packages between ?8–13 lakh, and top recruiters like Infosys, Amazon, Microsoft, Oracle, and TCS regularly visiting campus. The curriculum is industry-oriented, covering modern technologies such as AI and ML, and the college offers excellent infrastructure, internships, and student support. Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham Nagercoil CSE also provides good placements (average ?9.2 lakh, 300+ recruiters, including TCS, Cognizant, Amazon, and IBM), updated curriculum, and supportive faculty, but its national reputation and alumni network are not as strong as BMSCE’s, and the placement ecosystem is still developing. Student reviews highlight Amrita’s rigorous assessment system and modern labs, but BMSCE’s location in Bangalore offers greater exposure to tech companies and networking opportunities.

The recommendation is to prefer BMS College of Engineering Bangalore CSE for its superior placement record, industry exposure, and academic reputation, making it a stronger choice for a career in computer science compared to Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham Nagercoil. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Sir I can also get Dayanand Sagar College of Engineering ( CSE ), Kumarswamy layout or BMSIT ( CSE ) which would be a ideal choice? Thank you sir!
Ans: Based on the following insights/information, choose the more suitable option for you: Both Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering (DSCE), Kumaraswamy Layout and BMS Institute of Technology and Management (BMSIT), Yelahanka, provide strong platforms for CSE, with each excelling across the essential aspects of accreditation, placement, faculty quality, infrastructure, and industry interface. DSCE is autonomous, approved by AICTE, affiliated to VTU, and boasts NAAC ‘A’ accreditation (CGPA 3.42) and NBA-accredited CSE, backed by experienced faculty with research-led curriculum. Placements in CSE at DSCE have ranged from 67% to 91% in recent years, with leading recruiters like Bosch, Amazon, and TCS; the campus houses advanced labs, extensive research centers, robust Wi-Fi, and personalized mentoring systems, fostering a supportive academic environment. BMSIT matches these with NAAC ‘A’ accreditation, NBA-accredited CSE, and an autonomous, AICTE-approved status under VTU. Its CSE placement rate has consistently hovered around 77–85% in the last three years, supported by vibrant recruiter engagement from Google, Cred, Philips, and Deloitte. BMSIT is known for modern classrooms, well-equipped CSE labs, and a lush 21.5-acre campus, with outcome-based learning and broad industry exposure, often topping surveys for industry collaboration and student satisfaction. Faculty at both institutes are highly qualified, with BMSIT particularly emphasizing outcome-based education and deep student mentoring. Infrastructure at both colleges is state-of-the-art, but BMSIT is also highly rated for industry engagement, sustainability, and holistic student support.

Recommendation: BMSIT CSE stands out slightly for its consistent placement rates, robust industry ties, and campus environment favoring innovation, making it an ideal choice for career-focused students, while DSCE remains an excellent alternative for its academic rigor, research orientation, and comprehensive curriculum. Both are solid, but BMSIT’s industry engagement gives it a unique edge for CSE aspirants. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Hello, I am currently in Class 12 and preparing for JEE. I have not yet completed even 50% of the syllabus properly, but I aim to score around '110' marks. Could you suggest an effective strategy to achieve this? I know the target is relatively low, but I have category reservation, so it should be sufficient.
Ans: With category reservation (SC/ST/OBC), a score of 110 marks is absolutely achievable and realistic. Based on 2025 data, SC candidates qualified with approximately 60-65 percentile, and ST candidates with 45-55 percentile. Your target requires scoring just 37-40% marks, which is significantly lower than general category standards. This gives you a genuine advantage. Immediate Action Plan (December 2025 - January 2026): 4-5 Weeks. Week 1-2: High-Weightage Chapter Focus. Stop trying to complete the entire syllabus. Instead, focus exclusively on high-scoring chapters that carry maximum weightage: Physics (Modern Physics, Current Electricity, Work-Power-Energy, Rotation, Magnetism), Chemistry (Chemical Bonding, Thermodynamics, Coordination Compounds, Electrochemistry), and Maths (Integration, Differentiation, Vectors, 3D Geometry, Probability). These chapters alone can yield 80-100+ marks if practiced properly. Ignore topics you haven't studied yet. Week 2-3: Previous Year Questions (PYQs). Solve JEE Main PYQs from the last 10 years (2015-2025) for chapters you're studying. PYQs reveal question patterns and difficulty levels. Focus on understanding why answers are correct, not memorizing solutions. Week 3-4: Mock Tests & Error Analysis. Take 2-3 full-length mock tests weekly under timed conditions. This is crucial because mock tests build exam confidence, reveal time management weaknesses, and error analysis prevents repeated mistakes. Maintain an error notebook documenting every mistake—this becomes your revision guide. Week 4-5: Revision & Formula Consolidation. Create concise formula sheets for each subject. Spend 30 minutes daily reviewing formulas and key concepts. Avoid learning new topics entirely at this stage. Study Schedule (Daily): 7-8 Hours. Morning (5:00-7:30 AM): Physics concepts + 30 PYQs. Break (7:30-8:30 AM): Breakfast & rest. Mid-morning (8:30-11:00): Chemistry concepts + 20 PYQs. Lunch (11:00-1:00 PM): Full break. Afternoon (1:00-3:30 PM): Maths concepts + 30 PYQs. Evening (3:30-5:00 PM): Mock test or error review. Night (7:00-9:00 PM): Formula revision & weak area focus. Strategic Approach for 110 Marks: Attempt only confident questions and avoid negative marking by skipping difficult questions. Do easy questions first—in the exam, attempt all basic-level questions before attempting medium or hard ones. Focus on quality over quantity as 30 well-practiced questions beat 100 random questions. Master NCERT concepts as most JEE questions test NCERT concepts applied smartly. April 2026 Session Advantage. If January doesn't deliver desired results, April gives you a second chance with 3+ months to prepare. Use January as a practice attempt to identify weak areas, then focus intensively on those in February-March. Realistic Timeline: January 2026 target is 95-110 marks (achievable with focused 50% syllabus), while April 2026 target is 120-130 marks (with complete syllabus + experience). Your reservation benefit means you need only approximately 90-105 marks to qualify and secure admission to quality engineering colleges. Stop comparing yourself to general category cutoffs. Most Importantly: Consistency beats perfection. Study 6 focused hours daily rather than 12 distracted hours. Your 110-mark target is realistic—execute this plan with discipline. All the BEST for Your JEE 2026!

Dear Sir/Madam, I am currently a 1st year UG student studying engineering in Sairam Engineering College, But there the lack of exposure and strict academics feels so rigid and I don't like it that. It's like they don't gaf about skills but just wants us to memorize things and score a good CGPA, the only skill they want is you to memorize things and pass, there's even special class for students who don't perform well in academics and it is compulsory for them to attend or else the student and his/her parents needs to face authorities who lashes out. My question is when did engineering became something that requires good academics instead of actual learning and skill set. In sairam they provides us a coding platform in which we need to gain the required points for each semester which is ridiculous cuz most of the students here just look at the solution to code instead of actual debugging. I am passionate about engineering so I want to learn and experiment things instead of just memorizing, so I actually consider dropping out and I want to give jee a try and maybe viteee , srmjeee But i heard some people say SRM may provide exposure but not that good in placements. I may not be excellent at studies but my marks are decent. So gimme some insights about SRM and recommend me other colleges/universities which are good at exposure
Ans: First — your frustration is valid

What you are experiencing at Sairam is not engineering, it is rote-based credential production.

“When did engineering become memorizing instead of learning?”

Sadly, this shift happened decades ago in most Tier-3 private colleges in India.

About “coding platforms & points” – your observation is sharp

You are absolutely right:

Mandatory coding points → students copy solutions

Copying ≠ learning

Debugging & thinking are missing

This is pseudo-skill education — it looks modern but produces shallow engineers.

The fact that you noticed this in 1st year already puts you ahead of 80% students.

Should you DROP OUT and prepare for JEE / VITEEE / SRMJEEE?

Although VIT/SRM is better than Sairam Engineering College, but you may face the same problem. You will not face this type of problem only in some top IITs, but getting seat in those IITs will be difficult.
Instead of dropping immediately, consider:

???? Strategy:

Stay enrolled (degree security)

Reduce emotional investment in college rules

Use:

GitHub

Open-source projects

Hackathons

Internships (remote)

Hardware / software self-projects

This way:

College = formality

Learning = self-driven

Risk = minimal
