Sir, My son scored 96 percentile in mains, 800 community rank (SC) in JEE (ADV). Which course suits best for his career with strong placements & future research also if possible in IITM
Ans: Lavanya Madam, With a JEE Advanced SC rank of 800, admission to Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at IIT Madras remains unfeasible (2024 SC cutoff: 72), but competitive options include Mechanical Engineering (2024 SC cutoff: 716) and Aerospace Engineering (788), both offering 90%+ placement rates and median salaries of ?19.6 LPA (2023-24 data). For research-oriented pathways, Chemical Engineering (SC cutoff: 1,225) provides opportunities in sustainable energy and materials science via collaborations with DRDO and ISRO, supported by ?59.12 crore in annual research funding. Electrical Engineering (SC cutoff: 378) combines strong placements (median ?27.28 LPA) with interdisciplinary research in quantum computing and robotics through IITM’s Centre for Innovation. While Civil Engineering (SC cutoff: 1,324) offers lower placement traction (median ?17.73 LPA), its structural engineering research initiatives align with global infrastructure demands. Recommendation: Prioritize Mechanical Engineering for optimal balance of placement stability (core roles in automotive/manufacturing sectors) and research versatility, or Aerospace Engineering for niche opportunities in defense and space technology, leveraging IITM’s industry-academia partnerships and ?513 crore annual funding pool. All the BEST for your Son's Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Hello sirji I got place at NIELIT Ajmer and Thapar both CSE and in NIELIT cyber security and I am from Haryana so wht should I choose?
Ans: As a student from the State of Haryana you are offered seats at NIELIT Ajmer for CSE and Cyber Security alongside CSE at Thapar University, a comprehensive evaluation reveals distinct academic and career pathways. NIELIT Ajmer’s B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering covers Internet of Things, Cyber Security, and Blockchain Technology with a 60-seat capacity, admission via JEE Main closing around 47,166 for general category, and government-funded programs under MeitY ensuring affordable fees and specialized labs. Thapar University’s CSE achieved an 83% placement rate in 2023 with 334 recruiting companies, robust T&P infrastructure, and major recruiters like Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Deloitte, and IBM. Thapar’s average package of ?11.90 LPA underscores consistent industry engagement and comprehensive training. NIELIT Ajmer Cyber Security offers targeted government-backed certification courses, dedicated placement cells, and proximity to Haryana (~322 km), while NIELIT Ajmer CSE remains nascent with limited placement history. Both institutions feature modern laboratories, libraries, and safe residential facilities supporting holistic student development.

Recommendation: Choose Thapar University CSE for its better job placement record, strong ties with companies, and good academic standing; look at NIELIT Ajmer Cyber Security for affordable, government-supported training in new security technologies; steer clear of NIELIT Ajmer CSE because it has little job placement information and is still growing. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
