And by keeping in mind rough score of mhtcet as 71%ile. And I also have obc certificate. Please suggest me good colleges in which I can get cse. And I got 82.39%ile in mht cet

Ans: Archit, With an OBC-NCL MHT CET score of 82.39 percentile (approximate state rank 60,000–70,000), the following 20 Maharashtra colleges typically offer B.Tech CSE seats within or below this percentile bracket: Prof Ram Meghe College of Engineering & Management, Badnera (OBC CSE cutoff 81.37 percentile); D. Y. Patil College of Engineering, Akurdi, Pune (General CSE cutoff ~99 percentile, OBC slightly lower); Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering & Research, Ravet (OBC cutoff rank ~4,189); Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering, Pune; DJ Sanghvi College of Engineering, Mumbai (accepts ~80 percentile); MIT World Peace University, Pune (accepts ~80 percentile); KDK College of Engineering, Nagpur (CSE cutoff percentile 44.48); Walchand College of Engineering, Sangli (OBC cutoff rank ~2,088); AISSMS College of Engineering, Pune; Fr.

Most of these institutes report annual CSE placement rates between 65–85%, with core recruiters including TCS, Cognizant, Infosys, and regional tech firms. The recommendation is to prioritise Prof Ram Meghe College, D. Y. Patil COE Akurdi, and PCCOE Pune for balanced academic reputation and placement consistency; secure your seat there, and use AISSMS COE Pune and Walchand COE Sangli as strong alternatives, while keeping options open at KDK Nagpur and MIT WPU Pune.

Sir , My son has got admission in M.tech & Phd both in Aerospace Engineering at BIT MERSA, M.tech computational Mechanics at Mahendra Ecole Hyderabad , M.Tech ( UAV) at DIAT( DEFENCE INSTITUTE OF ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY) PUNE. Have deposited fees at all institutions. Please suggest which one to choose.
Ans: Based on your son's interest, long-term goals & the insight provided here, he can choose the most suitable option he has: Among your four confirmed admits, each program excels across accreditation, faculty strength, infrastructure, placement outcomes, and student support yet differs in research orientation, industry alignment, and career trajectory. BIT Mesra’s Aerospace PhD offers Institute Research Fellowships of ?25 000/month (first two years) rising to ?28 000/month, NBA-accredited labs in propulsion and aerodynamics, and ISRO/DRDO–funded projects under PhD?qualified mentors, positioning graduates for academic and R&D leadership with over 90% PhD placement into premier research agencies. Its two-year M.Tech. stream similarly benefits from NIRF #48 ranking, NAAC accreditation, ?11.57 LPA average M.Tech placement, and robust departmental infrastructure. DIAT Pune’s M.Tech (UAV) is NAAC-‘A’–graded NIRF #63, with a focused UAV curriculum initiated in 2016, state-of-the-art remote-sensing and avionics labs, and 89% PG placement averaging ?19.5–20 LPA, driven by DRDO, GE Aerospace, L&T and private drone firms, plus strong DRDO campus recruitment and internships. Mahindra University’s M.Tech in Computational Mechanics, NAAC A++–accredited, offers a 15-student cohort, industry-co-designed simulations and FEM/CFD labs under École Centrale faculty, and a ?9.1 LPA average placement with peaks up to ?38 LPA, emphasizing practical internships and live projects through its Indo-French partnership. Student support at all three includes dedicated placement cells, technical clubs, and mentorship; BIT and DIAT add government?sector tie-ups, while Mahindra leverages global industry networks.

Recommendation: For a research?driven career and leadership roles in space R&D, pursue the PhD at BIT Mesra; for a defense-aligned UAV specialization with top placements and DRDO engagement, choose DIAT Pune’s M.Tech (UAV); if you prefer industry-oriented computational modeling in a global academic setting, opt for Mahindra University’s M.Tech in Computational Mechanics; M.Tech at BIT is best if you later decide to pivot to government research or pursue a PhD there. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!
