Career

Second drop for jee mains worth it ? I got bs course in nit surat and I also got UIET CHANDIGARH (ece) .... Take drop Or Take the UIET (ece) or nit surat ( physics)

Ans: Deepak, You have not mentioned your last 2 JEE Scores. However, taking a second drop for JEE Mains is not advisable unless you are certain of significant score improvement, as it risks losing access to JEE Advanced and shifts you to only Mains-based admissions. NIT Surat’s integrated BS Physics programme places around 38% of graduates with an average package of ?6.86 LPA, whereas UIET Chandigarh’s ECE records 78–82% placement rates and average packages between ?5–7 LPA. UIET also offers core engineering training and broader industry exposure. Recommendation: Enrol in UIET Chandigarh ECE for dependable placements and hands-on engineering experience rather than delaying or opting for a lower-placement Physics track at NIT Surat. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Deepak, 2nd Drop NOT at all Advisable. At Harcourt Butler Technical University, Kanpur, the Chemical Engineering program offers robust placement outcomes, with an 85.6% placement rate in 2024 and an average package of 7 LPA. The department, boasting a long heritage since 1962, features faculty predominately holding PhDs and engaged in industry-linked research projects. The campus infrastructure includes modern chemical processing labs, central workshops, a library with over 70,000 volumes, and secure on-campus hostels. HBTU is ranked #51–100 in the State Public University category by NIRF, reflecting strong academic quality and graduation outcomes. Strategic partnerships like MoUs with the Bureau of Indian Standards on standardization and with IIT Kanpur’s SIIC for incubation provide exposure to industry standards and startup mentoring. The curriculum integrates industrial applications, polymer science, and water-treatment projects, fostering practical skills and employability.

Recommendation:
Given your current percentile and rank, securing Chemical Engineering at HBTU Kanpur offers a safe entry into a reputable program with solid placement prospects and industry exposure. However, if you aim for NITs or higher-tier institutions and can commit another year to preparation, a second drop could yield broader opportunities. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
