Question by Vaibhav on Jun 05, 2025

I need help regarding my josaa preference order: I will be getting the following colleges .ECE in IIIT una, nagpur , sri city, BIT mesra .CSE in tier 3 IIIT's Like ranchi , dharwad, raichur, bhagalpur .Cse AIML in BIT mesra ( low chances) . ECE in IIIT guwahati ( low chances) . EEE in NIT Meghalaya, NIT Agartala . Mechanical in IIIT Jabalpur, Kancheepuram, IIEST shibpur, PEC chandigarh . Civil, metallurgy and production in remaining NITs I have interest in both ece and cse , so what should be my preference order?

Ans: Vaibhav, Choosing between Mechanical Engineering at IIT BHU and CSE at DTU/NSUT/IIT Delhi hinges on career goals. CSE at DTU/NSUT offers 85–95% placements in tech roles (Microsoft, Amazon) with robust industry demand, while IIT Delhi CSE nears 100% placements in top-tier firms (Google, Meta). IIT BHU Mechanical provides 65% placements with core roles in automotive/aerospace (Tata, ISRO) and a strong IIT brand, but salaries lag behind CSE. For Maths/Physics interests, Engineering Physics (IIT Delhi/Dhanbad) suits R&D/semiconductor roles with 70–80% placements, while Mathematics & Computing (DTU/IIT Delhi) bridges maths and tech, offering 90%+ placements in quant finance (Goldman Sachs, DE Shaw) and AI/ML. Prioritize CSE at DTU/NSUT/IIT Delhi for tech dominance, IIT BHU Mechanical for core engineering prestige, or Maths & Computing/Engineering Physics for interdisciplinary innovation, aligning with academic passion and sectoral trends. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

sorry sir but this isn't my question

Ans: Apologize. By mistake I wrote the answer, meant for someone else. ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION: ECE Programs:

IIIT Nagpur ECE (72% placement rate in 2024) and BIT Mesra ECE (60% placement rate) lead due to strong industry ties and core recruitment.

IIIT Sri City ECE (89.67% overall placement rate) offers robust IT crossover opportunities, while IIIT Una ECE (59% placement rate) lags in core roles.

CSE Programs:

IIIT Dharwad CSE (83% placement rate) and IIIT Raichur CSE (68.8% placement rate) outperform IIIT Bhagalpur CSE (61%) and IIIT Ranchi CSE (58.23%) in recruitment consistency and IT roles.

CSE (AIML) at BIT Mesra (75% placement rate) is viable if secured, given BIT’s established reputation.

EEE/Mechanical/Civil:

NIT Meghalaya EEE (54.54% placement rate) and NIT Agartala (95.3% overall UG placements) provide institutional credibility but limited core EEE roles.

Mechanical at IIEST Shibpur/PEC Chandigarh offers strong alumni networks but lower placement traction compared to CSE/ECE.

Recommendation: Prioritize CSE in IIIT Dharwad/Raichur for IT placement assurance, followed by ECE in IIIT Nagpur/BIT Mesra for core opportunities. Opt for CSE (AIML) at BIT Mesra if available. Place EEE in NITs and Mechanical at IIEST/PEC lower, reserving Civil/Metallurgy for last due to niche recruitment. Balance branch preference with institutional reputation to maximize career flexibility.
