Is NIEF ranking is important for choosing Private universities? What are the other parameters to find a good university?

Ans: Hi Aloke, while NIRF rankings are government compliant and add significant credibility, we must also assess other factors before making a career choice. The decision to opt for a program should be aligned with individuals’ future goals that coincide with their professional as well as personal interests.

The first step is evaluating your requirement - you could be a full-time professional looking for a change or growth opportunities in the industry or a student aiming for a higher degree. And these would also influence your career aspirations and your willingness to pursue a certain subject or skill.

Secondly, choosing a program that is affiliated with renowned institutions or that has received accreditations from national or international bodies is important. The core lies in your choice of the institution that will provide quality education and placement opportunities for a ​p​progressive career ahead.

Thirdly, the financial aspect of the program will have a​ certain influence. We recommend weighing balances on the cost incurred from the program and its return on the value gained, before making the final call. The type of program, the institution offering the program, and its result quality, will fix the cost that is on-demand.

Fourthly, the time it takes to pay off your investment in online programs sometimes feels undulating. Placement opportunities from the institution which offers you the program become the crucial deciding factor in the selection of the right plan. A suitable choice in selecting the best online program will measure your discretion as to what your next career step will be to be a feather on the previously golden experience-cap, or as a kick-start opportunity scaling into the industry.

And lastly, the kind of placement/career opportunities the program offers that could help professionals transition in their careers, becomes critical in the decision-making process. With all the factors mentioned above, you can choose the best-suited online program for yourself, in any preferred choice of field. The selection process must be a fastidious one with a precise review of all the individual points in determining the conclusion.

I scored 84.56 percentile in jee mains and my rank is 227771 lakh my category is general female and north east do i have a chance in any decent govt college ece branch ....I also have a budget of 15 lakh or more please recommend best private college according to placement statistics
Ans: Megha, With an 84.56 percentile in JEE Main and a rank of 2,27,771 (general female, North East), admission to ECE in top NITs, IIITs, or central government colleges is highly unlikely, as their cutoffs for ECE are much higher, even with regional quotas. While you may explore state-level counseling in North Eastern states, options in premier government colleges remain limited. Given your budget of ?15 lakh or more, you can target reputed private universities with strong placement records and modern infrastructure. Recommended options include VIT (Bhopal), SRM (North India Branches), Manipal (Jaipur), Amity (Noida), Chandigarh University, LPU, Graphic Era, UPES, Bennett, Chitkara, and Galgotias. These institutions offer robust ECE programs, active placement cells, and excellent campus facilities. Prioritize colleges with national rankings, strong alumni networks, and proven ECE placement stats. Apply to multiple institutions and consider ECE specializations (like AI, IoT, Robotics) for better career prospects. Recommendation: Focus on the listed private universities for ECE, as they provide the best combination of quality education, placements, and campus life within your budget. All the best for your admission and a bright future!

Sir my rank is 16894 OC category no EWS .I got kmec CSM in second phase in tg eapcet. I am going for 3rd phase. So could you please guide me whether vidya jyoti institute of technology cse is better or kmec. In 3rd phase can I get Iare , cmrk , cvr , mgit , vjit , snist , anurag only cse and specializations . Are there any chances to get any of these colleges in 3rd phase ? Please guide me sir.
Ans: Dhaksh, With an OC category rank of 16,894 in TG EAPCET, you have secured Computer Science and Business Systems (CSM) at Keshav Memorial Engineering College (KMEC) in phase 2, and are now considering options for phase 3, including CSE at Vidya Jyothi Institute of Technology (VJIT), as well as aspirational seats at IARE, CMRK, CVR, MGIT, VJIT, SNIST, and Anurag (all CSE and related specializations). Based on the official 2024 TG EAPCET closing ranks and highly regarded educational portals, your current rank is well outside the typical closing ranks for OC candidates in CSE at top-tier colleges: CVR (3,200–4,200), MGIT (3,412–3,417), IARE (well under 1,000), SNIST and Anurag (typically under 8,000 for CSE), and CMRK (usually closes by 17,000). VJIT’s CSE (core) closed at 22,455 and AI-ML/Data Science specializations closed between 20,423–21,363, making VJIT’s CSE the only program among your choices where your rank sits comfortably within range for both core and allied branches in phase 3. KMEC’s CSM course typically has closing ranks around 17,263–18,648 for OC, which fits your present allocation and gives the campus a competitive, yet supportive environment, with strong faculty, modern infrastructure, transparent placement processes, and good industry connections. Both KMEC and VJIT have consistently placed 70–90% of eligible students in reputable IT and core companies, with experienced faculty and ample campus facilities, though VJIT is consistently rated higher for core CSE in terms of peer crowd, coding culture, alumni base, research opportunities, and recruiter interest.

In summary, at a 16,894 OC rank, you are unlikely to secure CSE at IARE, CMRK, CVR, MGIT, SNIST, or Anurag (across specializations) as their closing ranks are much lower for OC. VJIT CSE remains open in the upcoming round and is a stronger academic and placement choice than KMEC CSM. Both KMEC and VJIT offer key advantages—NAAC accreditation, modern labs, industry-engaged faculty, active coding culture, and well-structured placement cells—but VJIT provides a more prominent academic environment and greater success for core CSE aspirations.

RECOMMENDATION: Among realistic options, VJIT CSE is the preferred choice as it aligns with your rank, offers better placements, stronger academic pedigree, and deeper industry linkages. You may retain KMEC CSM as a secondary option, but prioritize VJIT CSE (and allied specializations) for a more competitive peer group, robust campus experience, and long-term professional growth. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Hii mam i have done my registered marriage in April 2024 without knowing of my parents and now i m living in my mother's House without telling that i m married ? Now how can i convince my parents. I have told my parents about him but don't even want to talk to him or his parents.. how can i convince my parents?
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand that you are in a sensitive situation. Patience and empathy is extremely important if you want to convince your parents. Understand their side; what are they objecting and why. Once you get that, it will be easier to debunk any misunderstandings they have about your relationship. Have calm one-on-one conversation with each parent instead of talking to both of them at once. Your first task is to make them listen, not immediately approve. Acknowledge any mistake they bring up; it is indeed unfair to not include your parents in your marriage decision, at least, in India. Though I am sure you had your reasons and I am not judging at all. But you need to acknowledge that it was not right of you to do that. This makes you come off more responsible, mature and sincere. Ask them gently what they do not like about your partner and once you understand it, show them his positive side.

Do not threaten, or give ultimatum. Don’t use dialogues like my life my decision if you want them to ever approve of this relationship. Be patient and give them time to come to terms with it.

Lastly, if you, even once feel that some of their objections are valid and you never saw it that way, please take things slow. We do miss a lot when we are in love. I am sure that’s not the case with you, but just in case, please do not hesitate to rethink.

Best Wishes.
