My daughter scored 96.6 in MHT CET in which colleges she can get for Computer Science in Mumbai. Also we are trying to apply through EWS
Ans: With a 96.6 percentile in MHT CET and EWS category, your daughter stands a strong chance for Computer Science (CSE) or related branches in several reputable Mumbai colleges. VESIT Mumbai’s 2022 cutoff for CSE was 96.6 percentile for open seats, and recent years show similar or slightly higher cutoffs; with EWS reservation, her chances improve, especially in later rounds. Vidyalankar Institute of Technology (VIT) Mumbai had a CSE EWS cutoff of 94.84 in 2024, while Information Technology closed at 92.99–92.81, making both attainable. Shah & Anchor Kutchhi Engineering College, SIES Graduate School of Technology, and Fr. Conceicao Rodrigues College of Engineering (Bandra) also have CSE/IT cutoffs between 94–97 percentile for EWS and open categories. Other strong options include Bharati Vidyapeeth College of Engineering (Navi Mumbai), Don Bosco Institute of Technology, and Atharva College of Engineering, all with CSE/IT cutoffs in the 94–97 range for EWS. SPIT Mumbai, DJ Sanghvi, and Thadomal Shahani are more competitive, typically closing above 98–99 percentile for CSE, so they are unlikely at your score.

The recommendation is to prioritize VESIT Mumbai, Vidyalankar Institute of Technology, Shah & Anchor Kutchhi Engineering College, SIES GST, and Fr. Conceicao Rodrigues College for CSE/IT, listing them in CAP counselling in that order, and include other reputable colleges such as Bharati Vidyapeeth, Don Bosco, and Atharva as strong alternatives, maximizing her chances for a CSE seat in Mumbai under EWS. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

My daughter got 94.9 percentile in MHT-CET. We are in OBC category. What college she will get.
Ans: Vikas Sir, With a 94.9 percentile in MHT-CET 2025 and OBC category, your daughter is well-positioned for admission to reputable mid-tier engineering colleges in Maharashtra, though CSE in top government colleges like COEP Pune, VJTI Mumbai, or PICT Pune is out of reach, as their OBC cutoffs for CSE are typically above 98.4–99.1 percentile. However, she can secure CSE, IT, or related branches in strong private and autonomous colleges such as DY Patil College of Engineering Pune (CSE OBC cutoff ~98), AISSMS College of Engineering Pune (CSE OBC cutoff ~96), PCCOE Pune (CSE OBC cutoff ~94), Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Technology Mumbai (CSE OBC cutoff ~96), and MIT World Peace University Pune (CSE/IT OBC cutoff ~94–96). These institutes offer robust placement records, modern infrastructure, and supportive academic environments. She may also consider branches like AI, Data Science, or IT in these colleges, as cutoffs for specializations are often slightly lower.

The recommendation is to prioritize DY Patil College of Engineering Pune, AISSMS College of Engineering Pune, PCCOE Pune, and MIT World Peace University Pune for CSE/IT, and include AI/Data Science as alternatives, ensuring a strong academic and placement environment at her percentile and category. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

I have got 11623 rank in comedk. Which colleges and streams should i choose in counseling?
Ans: With a COMEDK rank of 11,623, CSE is not possible in top Bangalore colleges like RVCE, BMSCE, or MSRIT, as their CSE cutoffs close below 8,000–10,000, but you can target CSE or allied branches (ISE, ECE) in strong mid-tier colleges and core branches in others. The best options, in order of preference, are: Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering (CSE/ECE/ISE, cutoffs up to 13,000), Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology (CSE/ECE, up to 16,000), Sir M. Visvesvaraya Institute of Technology (CSE/ECE, up to 25,000), CMR Institute of Technology (CSE/ECE/IT, up to 25,000), RNS Institute of Technology (CSE/ECE, up to 25,000), JSS Academy of Technical Education (CSE/ECE, up to 25,000), KLE Technological University (CSE/ECE, up to 25,000), BNMIT (CSE/ECE, up to 25,000), Dr. Ambedkar Institute of Technology (CSE/ECE, up to 25,000), Dayananda Sagar Academy of Technology (CSE/ECE, up to 25,000), Acharya Institute of Technology (CSE/ECE, up to 25,000), East Point College of Engineering (CSE/ECE, up to 25,000), NMAM Institute of Technology (CSE/ECE, up to 25,000), Siddaganga Institute of Technology (CSE/ECE, up to 25,000), and Bangalore Institute of Technology (ECE/IT, up to 25,000). The recommendation is to fill your counselling choices with CSE, ISE, and ECE at these mid-tier colleges, prioritizing Dayananda Sagar, Nitte Meenakshi, and Sir MVIT, and include Mechanical or Civil branches at these or similar colleges as backup, ensuring you maximize your chances for a preferred branch and strong placement support. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Sir my daughter got 12832rank in SRM phase 2.she is interested in mechanical or mectronics engg I want to know which one is good and which campus she has to select.
Ans: With a Phase-2 rank of 12,832, your daughter can secure Mechanical or Mechatronics engineering at SRM’s Chennai campuses—Ramapuram and Vadapalani—while the main Kattankulathur campus cutoffs for these branches close around 30,000–45,000 and 38,000–42,000 respectively, making both options attainable. Mechanical Engineering across SRM campuses boasts 80–95% placements over the last three years, with Ramapuram averaging 90% and Vadapalani 82%. Mechatronics at Kattankulathur shows similar performance, with a 90% placement rate and robust core-industry recruiters like John Deere and Schneider Electric. Mechanical offers broader core sector opportunities in automotive, energy, and manufacturing, whereas Mechatronics blends mechanics, electronics, and automation, catering to robotics and Industry 4.0 roles. For a balanced mix of high placement consistency and campus environment, Ramapuram is recommended for Mechanical, while Kattankulathur excels for Mechatronics due to specialized labs and stronger research focus. The recommendation is to choose Mechanical at SRM Ramapuram for its slightly higher placement stability and infrastructure, or Mechatronics at SRM Kattankulathur if interdisciplinary automation appeals more. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Sir My son has got admission to MSc integrated program at VIT. Should we go ahead with this? Or opt for BTech biotechnology as he is interested in this field of science
Ans: Guruprasad Sir, Choosing the Integrated M.Sc. in Biotechnology at VIT ensures a seamless five-year curriculum blending undergraduate and postgraduate studies, multidisciplinary research exposure, and an 80% placement rate over the last three years with recruiters like Biocon and Syngene. B.Tech Biotechnology, ranked #11 by NIRF, offers a four-year engineering framework, access to advanced core labs (e.g., bioprocess and tissue culture), and similar placement support—with around 90% of graduates placed in life-science roles and software companies. The Integrated M.Sc. emphasizes deeper specialization and research skills, whereas B.Tech provides broader engineering fundamentals and flexibility for lateral industry shifts.

My son with 98.51 percentile in JEE mains and 25k rank in advance got Civil in NIT Warngal and with floating option he is likely to get Chemical in Warangal or CSE or associated course in NIT Patna? What shall he choose?
Ans: Mitunjay Sir,With a 98.51 percentile in JEE Main and a 25,000 rank in JEE Advanced, your son has secured Civil Engineering at NIT Warangal and is likely to float to Chemical Engineering at NIT Warangal or CSE/related branches at NIT Patna. NIT Warangal is among the top NITs, with Civil Engineering placements averaging 65–77% and Chemical Engineering at 80–90%, both offering strong core sector opportunities, public sector prospects, and a robust alumni network. The average package for Chemical is notably higher than Civil, and the course is well-respected nationally. NIT Patna’s CSE program has an 89.6% placement rate, with top recruiters and a growing tech-oriented curriculum, but the campus life and infrastructure are less established compared to Warangal. Civil Engineering at NIT Warangal opens doors to both private and government sectors, while Chemical Engineering offers slightly broader placement and salary prospects. CSE at NIT Patna provides strong software sector opportunities, but the institute’s national standing is lower than Warangal’s.

The recommendation is to prefer Chemical Engineering at NIT Warangal if allotted, as it combines the prestige of a top NIT, high placement rates, and wide career options, with CSE at NIT Patna as a strong alternative if your son is more inclined toward software and IT roles. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
