What Jobs are Available After My Son Completes his M.Tech in CSE?

Ans: Anant Sir, With a JEE Main All-India rank of around 250 000 and 58% in PCM, core branches such as Computer Science are out of reach at most private institutes, but strong alternatives in allied and core streams remain accessible.

Sharda University Greater Noida accepts CSE up to rank ~950 224 and IT up to ~280 000, with ECE and Civil closing between 722 289–829 736. Galgotias University offers CSE seats for percentiles ~93–90 (roughly ranks 200–300 000), and core branches like Mechanical and Civil with cutoffs beyond 300 000. Amity University Noida admits CSE at percentiles 90–95 (approx. ranks 150–300 000) and ECE/IT branches similarly. KIET Ghaziabad’s ECE closes at ~307 487 and Mechanical at ~412 192, providing solid NBA-accredited options. Sharda School of Engineering & Technology (SET) Greater Noida offers CSE via HSTES up to rank ~574 951, and core branches within similar ranges. All these colleges have NAAC/NBA accreditation, PhD-qualified faculty, modern labs, industry tie-ups, and 75–90% placement consistency.

Final recommendation: Focus on Sharda University CSE/IT or SET Greater Noida CSE for assured admission in IT-centric branches. For core-engineering roles, choose KIET Ghaziabad ECE or Amity Noida ECE/IT, and consider Galgotias University Mechanical or Civil as fallback options. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Gayatri Madam, (Though MIT-B-CSE is good, prefer any one of the following recommended colleges in Maharashtra for your DAUGHTER). With a 95.6 percentile, top-tier government colleges like COEP Pune (CSE closing ~99.85) and VJTI Mumbai (CSE ~99.9) lie well beyond reach. Realistically, target autonomous and private institutes where CSE/AI & DS cutoffs range 90–96 percentile. Consider:

AISSMS Pune CSE: closing 96.56–96.84 percentile in Round 3, strong NBA/NAAC accreditation, PhD faculty, 85–92% placements over three years.

DY Patil Pimpri CSE: closing 96.06 percentile for General HS in 2024, modern computing labs, 90+% placements, robust industry tie-ups.

JSPM Narhe Pune CSE: closing ~94.19 percentile (GOPENO) in 2023, NBA-accredited, 80–85% placement consistency, specialized design and AI electives.

MIT Academy of Engineering (Alandi) AI & DS: closed at 90.71 percentile, AI-ML labs, industry collaborations, 88–92% placements.

AISSMS IOIT Pune (ICT): CSE closing ~98–99 percentile (ICT branch lower), slightly higher average packages, interdisciplinary ICT labs.

Final recommendation: For assured admission and balanced accreditation, labs, and placements at ~96 percentile, recommendation is AISSMS Pune CSE. As alternatives, consider DY Patil Pimpri CSE, JSPM Narhe CSE, MIT AOE Alandi AI & DS, and AISSMS IOIT ICT based on your daughter’s branch preference and percentile bracket. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Hello dear.
Here is the pointwise reply to your questions: (1) The Maharashtra HSC Board allows isolated subject improvement like Maths. Once you clear it, you'll be eligible for MHT CET (PCM). (2) Will having two separate mark sheets cause problems? - No, it won’t be an issue. During CAP counselling, you can submit your 2023 HSC PCB marksheet and your 2026 Maths marksheet. They are accepted together for eligibility as long as all subjects are cleared from a recognized board (MSBSHSE). (3) You can get admission to top colleges like COEP or VJTI if and only if you clear Maths (HSC) and score high in MHT CET PCM. (4) There is no need to repeat the full 12th via NIOS. Just appearing for Maths as an isolated subject from the Maharashtra board is enough. Our final suggestions are as follows: (a) prepare seriously for HSC Maths (2026), (b) focus on MHT CET PCM 2026, (c) you’re eligible for engineering admissions once both are cleared, and (d) avoid NIOS unless you want to change all subjects (which is not necessary in your case).
Good luck!

Ans: Hello dear.
Both are strong opinions. It would be unjust to recommend either one. You also did not mention the course. Still, I suggest considering UIET if possible. The final decision will be yours.
Good luck!
