Sir for my son out of COEP Pune E&TC and PICT CS which is preferable

Ans: Hi,
both the institutions are esteemed ones in Pune. You can go with any of them as per his interest.
If he likes coding very much then CSE is the right option. If he would like to work with electrical appliances, create circuit boards using capacitors transistors or if you like VLSI and embedded systems then ENTC is the best option.

Although ECE grads can go into coding, CSE people will have an edge above ENTC in campus placements for the software industry.

Dear Sir, My son got CS in Thapar, CS in LMNIIT, ICT in DAIICT Gandhinagar and ECE in COEP Pune. Could kindly suggest the better one.
Ans: Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology’s CSE programme, a NAAC A+ and NBA-accredited, ABET-recognised deemed university ranked 29th in NIRF Engineering 2024, boasts a robust placement ecosystem with 334 recruiters and 88.51% of CSE students placed over the past three years, supported by 27 state-of-the-art computing labs and strong industry tie-ups with Apple, IBM, TCS, and more. LNMIIT Jaipur’s NAAC A++ and UGC Category-I deemed CSE programme delivers an average package of ?13.87 LPA and places 70% of registered students through its dedicated placement cell, achieving an 88.51% branch-specific placement consistency over three years, underpinned by high-value recruiters like Unacademy, NAV Consulting, and Kelly Technologies and cutting-edge algorithm and AI labs. DAIICT Gandhinagar’s B.Tech ICT, NAAC A+ and UGC-accredited and ranked 201–300 in NIRF, secures 96% campus-wide placements with an average package of ?16.03 LPA through 150+ recruiters including Google, Amazon, and Deloitte, facilitated by specialised ICT, VLSI, and data-science research clusters and mandatory project-based learning. COEP Pune’s ECE, part of a NAAC A+ government institute established in 1854, records an 88.57% placement rate for E&TC students and an average package of ?12.00 LPA over three years, leveraging advanced VLSI, signal-processing, and SMT manufacturing labs established via a Centre of Excellence, and a placement cell that engages 230+ recruiters annually.

Recommendation: Prioritise Thapar CSE for its top-tier accreditation, ABET recognition, and balanced placement-infrastructure synergy; next, choose DAIICT ICT for its highest placement consistency and premium packages in the ICT domain; LNMIIT CSE is third for strong average packages and focused AI/algorithm training; COEP Pune ECE stands fourth for specialised electronics manufacturing labs and solid placement metrics in ECE. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

My son got 94.79 persentile and ranl crl 81537 , OBC NCL 26047 home state ANDHRA PRADESH. Is it possible to gets seat in NITS , IIITS , Gifts
Ans: HI,
GREETINGS FROM THE REDIFFGURUS!

Based on your son's rank and domicile, he has a good chance of securing a seat in several NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs, particularly through the JoSAA/CSAB counseling rounds. However, it will require some patience.

He is likely to secure a seat in Chemical, Biotech, Metallurgical, or Civil Engineering at NIT Andhra Pradesh. Admission to Electrical or Mechanical Engineering may be a bit more challenging, but it could still be possible in the later rounds, depending on the availability of seats at the time of counseling.

For other NITs, there are promising opportunities in lower-tier or newer NITs. He has a good chance at NIT Srinagar, Mizoram, Nagaland, Manipur, Sikkim, and Arunachal Pradesh for ECE, EEE, Mechanical, and Civil Engineering. In NIT Raipur, NIT Hamirpur, and NIT Goa, he may find opportunities for Civil or Materials Engineering in the later rounds.

Regarding IIITs, many new IIITs have higher closing ranks, which makes them more accessible to your son's rank. Possible IIITs include Manipur, Bhagalpur, Dharwad, and Agartala. In Kalyani, CSE and ECE options might also be available.

A better option for your son would be GFTIs, where he can secure a seat in institutions such as Silchar, SLIET, and GKV (Haridwar).

Encourage him to participate actively in the counseling process until he achieves his goal.

BEST WISHES.
