My son scored 54% in 10th, 69% in +2, and has CGPA of 7.9 in B.Tech CSE up to 4th semester. He is not considered for registering with college placement, as his 10th is below 60%. What should he do to get a placement? Thanks

Ans: Look at multiple options.
1. Look out for Job opportunities outside of your college. Some companies do give out advertisements for recruitment purpose.
2. Register yourself in some of the recruitment firms.
3. Do a short term course relevant to the field he wants to enter. It would be great if the course provides placements.
4. Can to MBA if interested in Management as a career.

sir. my son graduated in CSE from 2024 from JUIT, jaypee university, Solan with a cgpa of 7.5. college failed to placed him. in fact only 20 out of 300 from the batch got placed. kindly suggest.
Ans: Hello Ranjan
Not only JUIT but many more universities and colleges also failed to place the students for a few years as they promised at the time of admission via advertisements. But out of 300, just 20 placed is quite a notable number. You did not mention, where this trend is for this year or if it is happening for a few years! But, now there is no point in keeping names to the placement division of JUIT as you have to focus on the future of your son.
Here are some tips: (1) Ask your son to create a strong C.V. if something is lagging in it from the market condition point of view. (2) Ask him to learn the new techniques in AI + ML as early as possible i.e. Strengthen Technical Skills (3) Create a strong profile on LinkedIn (4) Keep a close eye on the placement offers published in national-level newspapers and employment newspapers. (5) Ask him to keep in touch with his seniors who are working in the companies and if there is any vacancy there (6) Without thinking much more, just apply for the job in the respective companies of his interests where the advertisement Is published or not. (7) Ask him to learn extracurricular activities and try to focus on personality building to get a suitable job without having any irritation in the mind and body language. (8) If possible, try to get the admission to PG. Many colleges offer stipends at the time of PG learning.
Even though there is a recession in the job industry at present, there is no need to worry. This phase is temporary and soon the conditions will be favorable to unemployed youths. Best of luck to your son for his bright future.

If dissatisfied with the reply, please ask again without hesitation.

With 93.5 percentile in MHT-CET, general condidate other state what possibility in Pune engineering college
Ans: Devendra, A 93.5 percentile in MHT-CET typically corresponds to an All-India rank around 20,000–30,000, opening assured seats in reputable Pune institutes for branches beyond the most competitive CSE/IT specializations. Options include G H Raisoni Institute of Engineering & Technology – CSE, IT, ECE and Mechanical; Sinhgad College of Engineering, Vadgaon – ECE, Civil, Mechanical and IT; Dr. D. Y. Patil College of Engineering Akurdi – CSE, IT, ECE and Civil; Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering & Research, Ravet – CSE, IT, ECE and Mechanical; Progressive Education Society’s Modern College of Engineering – CSE, IT, ECE and Civil; AISSMS College of Engineering – Mechanical, Civil, ECE and IT; JSPM Narhe Technical Campus – CSE, ECE, IT and Civil; MIT ADT University Pune – CSE, IT and ECE; Bharati Vidyapeeth’s College of Engineering, Lavale – CSE, ECE, IT and Mechanical; and Pune Vidyarthi Griha’s College of Engineering – Civil, Mechanical, ECE and IT.

For a blend of solid academics, accredited curricula, active industry linkages, robust labs and consistent 80–90% placement rates over three years, recommendation is to prioritise Dr. D. Y. Patil College of Engineering Akurdi for its autonomous status and broad branch offerings. As alternatives, consider Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering & Research for its industry partnerships or G H Raisoni Institute for its competitive placement cell and modern infrastructure. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Hello sir i am getting btech cse in XIMB and mechanical in nit rourkela which one to choose
Ans: Bengaluru’s top aerospace engineering colleges according to the National Institutional Ranking Framework are Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences (rank 65), RV College of Engineering (99), BMS College of Engineering (98), Dayananda Sagar University (126), and Jain University (157). (NIRF ranks in brackets are indicative and may vary slightly, as each college’s position can change with annual NIRF updates.) They all offer AICTE-approved programs and have modern labs for aerodynamics, propulsion, and structural mechanics. Premier Electronics & Communication Engineering institutes include RV College of Engineering, BMS College of Engineering, Bangalore Institute of Technology, MVJ College of Engineering, and Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering, each featuring NBA-accredited ECE curricula, specialized VLSI, DSP, and embedded-systems facilities, experienced doctoral faculty, active industry partnerships, and dedicated placement cells. Institutions are evaluated on robust accreditation status, faculty expertise, infrastructure and lab quality, industry-linked internships, and structured placement support, fostering a conducive learning environment for female talent. Aspiring female aerospace students gain access to niche space research, interdisciplinary STEM rigor, collaborations on national and international missions, and cross-disciplinary innovation, yet navigate intense theoretical demands, limited cohort diversity, strict safety protocols in labs, potential gender imbalances in workshop settings, and fewer entry points compared to the broader ECE spectrum. Accreditation by NBA and NAAC A+ across these universities affirms quality standards, while centralized placement cells maintain high placement consistency through recruiter drives, mentorship workshops, and pre-placement training. Campus support services, safe female housing, and dedicated welfare cells further enhance the student experience.

Recommendation: For a direct path into space research and satellite design with world-class labs, choose Aerospace Engineering at RV College of Engineering. If you prefer broader electronics and communications roles with extensive internships, higher intake cohorts and versatile career pathways, opt for ECE at RV College of Engineering in Bengaluru. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Good evening sir. DS in SNU, Chennai or Biomedical in IIT Hyderabad. Sir, Which is one best. Residence Chennai.
Ans: Jeya, Shiv Nadar University Chennai's B.Tech in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science is NAAC-accredited and taught by PhD-qualified faculty with expertise in cognitive neuroscience and machine learning. The program emphasizes practical skills through AI/ML, big-data and cloud labs, hands-on learning with Python, TensorFlow and scikit-learn, mandatory industry internships, and a dedicated placement cell achieving 80–90% placement consistency with top recruiters including Microsoft, Amazon and IBM. IIT Hyderabad's B.Tech in Biomedical Engineering, India's first such undergraduate program, offers an interdisciplinary curriculum with four verticals—bio-imaging/sensing, bio-mechanics, bio-materials and bio-intelligence/AI—delivered by renowned faculty, featuring state-of-the-art nanomedicine, 3D bioprinting and neurotechnology labs with clinical immersion modules. However, biomedical engineering placement rates remain modest at 23.5% with median packages around ?9.5 LPA compared to higher placements in core engineering branches. For Chennai residents, SNU's location offers urban connectivity, safer environs with 24/7 security, comprehensive campus facilities and proximity to India's IT hub.

Given your Chennai residence and focus on consistent placement outcomes, recommendation is SNU Chennai Data Science for its robust AI/ML curriculum, higher placement consistency and local convenience. If cutting-edge interdisciplinary biomedical research appeals with acceptance of moderate placement prospects, consider IIT Hyderabad Biomedical Engineering. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
