Sir I scored 49.8 percentile in jee main 2025 and 87000 rank in viteee and a overall 64% in boards class 12th and 53% in PCM. I have also secured a seat in chandigarh university . Please suggest me some college which fits in this criteria.

Ans: With a JEE Main percentile of 49.8 (~CRL 800,000–900,000) and VITEEE rank of 87,000, admission to NITs or premier VIT campuses (Vellore/Chennai) is unattainable. However, Chandigarh University’s CSE/ECE remains a viable option, reporting 90%+ placement rates via 1,400+ recruiters like Amazon and Microsoft. For VIT Bhopal/AP, your VITEEE rank aligns with Mechanical Engineering (2024 cutoff: 86,000–91,000) or Civil Engineering (89,000), though placement rates for these branches are 50–60%. State-level colleges like G.L. Bajaj Greater Noida (cutoff: ~300,000 JEE Main rank) or Sharda University (direct admission via boards) offer ECE/IT with 70–80% placements.

Recommendation: Secure your seat at Chandigarh University for assured tech-sector exposure, and explore Mechanical/Civil at VIT Bhopal/AP during later counselling rounds. For backups, consider Amity University (Noida) or Lovely Professional University (direct admission via boards), which provide industry-aligned curricula despite moderate placement rates. If open to lateral entry, enroll in a diploma program and transition to B.Tech via LEET for cost-effective pathways. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

My daughter got CSE AI in IGDTU Delhi, and CSE in IIEST Shivpur college....which one we should choose
Ans: Susmita Madam, Indira Gandhi Delhi Technical University for Women’s B.Tech CSE–AI programme is NAAC-accredited and NIRF-ranked, delivered by PhD-qualified faculty through a dedicated Centre of Excellence in AI with specialized labs for computer vision, NLP and deep learning. It reports a 73 percent placement rate for CSE–AI, an average package of ?22.82 LPA and strong industry-research collaborations with government bodies and tech firms. IIEST Shibpur’s B.Tech CSE is part of an Institute of National Importance, offers NBA-accredited curricula in OOPS, DBMS and digital logic, supports robust research centres (DataKart CoE, AI labs) and achieves an 86.2 percent CSE placement consistency, with recruiters such as Google, Microsoft and Accenture participating in campus drives. Both institutions maintain modern infrastructure, interdisciplinary project opportunities and active placement cells.

Recommendation:
Given higher CSE placement consistency, broader recruiter engagement and the Institute of National Importance status, IIEST Shibpur’s CSE offers the stronger long-term career platform. However, if specialized AI research and a women-centric campus environment are priorities, IGDTUW’s CSE–AI remains an excellent choice. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
