Career

hello sir, my daughter says she is interested in aerospace engineering. How will be the girls number in this course. Please share what are the best private universities offering aerospace engineering as she cannot get into government institute with her jee percentile

Ans: Sireesha, It is good to see your daughter aspiring to pursue a program in aerospace engineering. Today a large number of girls are opting to take up careers in aerospace engineering but it will be hard for me to put the number of percentage of girls pursuing this program. Some of the private universities offering this program include the following:
Manipal Institute of Technology, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, RV College of Engineering, SRM Institute of Science and Technology and SASTRA Deemed University.

Aerospace engineering is one of the prized streams and would attracts large number of applicants making admission in many of these institutions will tough. However, I would advise your daughter to also look at additional career options like mechanical engineering and mechatronics should her current JEE score not get her admission in these top institutions.

Sir My son has got 147660 rank in viteee, which branch in which campus he can get He got 25778 rank in AEEE2026 WHAT IS HIS CHANCES

Ans: Venkat Sir, At VITEEE rank 1,47,660, Vellore/Chennai and CSE are practically not possible. As ranks above 1,00,000 are generally considered only for VIT-AP and VIT Bhopal, try Mechanical, Civil, EEE, Electronics-related, Integrated M.Tech, or lower-demand specialisations in Category 5, subject to seat availability and high fee category. At AEEE rank 25,778, CSE/ECE at Coimbatore is very unlikely. You can try Amritapuri/Bengaluru/Chennai/Amaravati for Mechanical, EEE, Civil, Automation/Robotics, or lower-demand branches in later rounds. It is also better to have 2-3 more backup options. All the Best for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

My daughter has scored 97.4 percentile in jee paper 2 b arch n rank is 1742..will she be able to get admission in any SPA or Not?

Ans: Vaishnavi Madam, With JEE Paper 2 B.Arch rank 1742, SPA Delhi/Bhopal/Vijayawada is unlikely for Open-General female, as recent SPA B.Arch closing ranks are generally within the top few hundred. For NIT B.Arch., chances are moderate only in selected cases: NIT Patna may be possible mainly through the Home State/female quota; NIT Raipur/most top NITs look difficult in OS (open female) based on recent closings. It is advisable to have also backup options of NATA-based good architecture colleges, state counselling, and CSAB special rounds. All the Best for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future!

Sir....I am from Mohali near to Chandigarh

Ans: For CSE, try Punjab Engineering College, University Institute of Engineering and Technology, Panjab University, Chandigarh University, and Chandigarh Group of Colleges (CGC) - CGC Landran and CGC University, Mohali; among private colleges, CGC Landran/CGC University. Visit the campus in person before finalizing the admission based on online reviews, consultation, etc., as your daughter has to spend 4-5 years in the college and campus.

Question by AMIT - May 10, 2026Hindi

Career

Sir I have got 4101 rank on SRM 2026 which faculty is best for higher job possibilities and large scale of job placement cs core or cs ai and ml please suggest me for SRM ktr main campus

Ans: Amit, with SRMJEEE rank 4,101, SRM KTR main campus CSE Core is borderline/difficult, because many estimates place KTR CSE Core around 2,000–2,500, while CSE specializations may go up to around 8,000. So, CSE AI & ML at KTR is more realistic than CSE Core.

For job possibilities, CSE Core is slightly broader for software, cloud, data, product, and government/PSU flexibility; however, CSE AI & ML is also excellent if the student builds strong coding, DSA, Python, ML projects, internships and a GitHub portfolio. SRM’s official AI & ML page confirms it is a CSE specialization focused on AI/ML curriculum.

Recommendation: Choose KTR CSE Core if allotted; otherwise, KTR CSE AI & ML is a very good choice. Backups you can have are KTR CSE Data Science/Cyber Security/IT, SRM Ramapuram CSE, & SRM-AP-CSE. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future!
