Question by Abishek - May 10, 2026Hindi

Career

sir my son got 19 k rank in AEEE Will he get mechanical or eee in amrita coimbatore campus whatever the slab is .

Ans: Abishek Sir, With AEEE rank 19,000, Mechanical Engineering at Amrita Coimbatore is possible, especially in later rounds and higher fee slabs. Recent rank indicators show Coimbatore Mechanical may extend roughly up to 25,000 for home-state and around 15,000 for other-state, so your chance depends on state quota/seat movement. EEE is tougher, as indicators show around 6,000–16,000 home-state and 4,000–13,000 other-state. Fill Mechanical Coimbatore first, then EEE Coimbatore, plus Amritapuri/Bengaluru/Chennai backups. All the Best for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Can i get Amrita bangalore cse seat got ranked 17810

Ans: With AEEE rank 17,810, Amrita Bengaluru CSE Core is difficult, especially if you are from another state, because recent expert cutoff indicators place Bengaluru CSE much lower, around 4,000–8,000 home-state and 400–4,000 other-state. Better choices: fill CSE specialisation, ECE, EEE at Bengaluru, and CSE/CSE-specialisation at Chennai, Amritapuri, Amaravati/Faridabad, depending on availability. Bengaluru CSE Core is a low chance; CSE-specialisation/ECE backups are more practical. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future!

Sir, I got Sir, i got 298 in BITSAT'S april session 2026, but i am getting an aggregate of 73% in PCM in boards. I am thinking to give improvements, but the result comes a bit after bitsat's deadline? Do you think they'll consider my request to submit the improvement marks as soon as my improvement mark's results comes out? Will they accept my 12th scores a lil later? Kindly guide me sir

Ans: Their 2026 eligibility page says improvement results must be available by the submission deadline: June 1, 2026. Late submission is therefore unlikely to be accepted. Contact the BITS admission office immediately by whatever sources possible. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future!

Career

Dear Gurus, My daughter has 43000 app rank in VIT, will she get any seat in Chennai campus? Next she is unconvinced about VIT due to huge intake, if studies would suffer, if professor can give enough time. She is pitching against MANIPAL. She is interested in ECE branch. May I have some advice on this pls? In addition she has appeared for COMDEK, any better college than VIT for ECE that can be looked at?

Ans: Chances with VIT are on the borderline, either at Vellore/Chennai. VIT is good, but the very large intake means students must be proactive to stand out. Manipal is the safer choice; through COMEDK, colleges like and are definitely worth targeting for ECE, and can be preferable to VIT Chennai depending on her COMEDK rank. Via COMDEK, colleges like Ramaiah Institute of Technology, BMS College of Engineering, and Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering are also very good ECE options if she gets a decent rank.

Good luck.

Sir my son AEEE rank 16000 and jee main 85 percentile OBC-NCL 85000 rank cbse percentage manipal university entrance 108 score

Ans: He has fair chances for mid-tier branches in Amrita and some chances in lower-demand branches/campuses of Manipal Academy, while he should also seriously target state counselling and COMEDK/private colleges for better value options.

Good luck.

Sir is it possible for me to get mechanical engineering at VIT Vellore with a rank of 53800 in VITEEE 2026? If yes then in what category? Will it be worth it to take mechanical engineering ?

Ans: GJ, no branch is bad, and all branches are good only. Your success in any domain depends upon many factors. Now answering your question, please note, Mechanical Engineering at VIT Vellore may be possible with VITEEE rank 53,800, but mostly in a higher fee category, likely Category 4 or Category 5. ill Mechanical Vellore in all categories, and also add Mechanical Chennai, VIT AP/Bhopal CSE/ECE, and state counselling as backups.

Sir i have got 87200 rank in jee mains in obc category and 16965 rank aeee and 52k rank in viteee which college can i expect to get the admission please tell sir which counselling i should apply for.

Ans: Based on your scores, the best preference order would be Amrita counselling first, VIT counselling second and JoSAA/CSAB third. With AEEE rank 16,965, you may get lower-demand branches or campuses in Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, which generally has a stronger academic reputation than many average private colleges. With VITEEE rank 52,000, you may get CSE-specialisations in VIT Bhopal University or VIT-AP University, or non-CSE branches in Vellore/Chennai under higher categories. With JEE Main OBC rank around 87,200, chances in top NITs/IIITs are very limited, though some GFTIs or CSAB special-round seats may still be possible. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future!

I have secured 47674 rank in viteee.I am from West Bengal(gen category).I want suggestions regarding should i join ecse/ece in vit vellore/chennai or go for cse in vit bhopal/AP.I am under a little doubt if i am actually super interested in programming.

Ans: Ayushi, If you have doubt over your interest in programming, avoid going for it. At 47,674 VITEEE rank, prefer ECSE/ECE at VIT Vellore/Chennai over CSE at AP/Bhopal, if fees are acceptable. ECE also keeps options in VLSI, embedded systems, telecom, EVs and IT jobs. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future!

Question by OPONNAMBALAM - May 10, 2026Hindi

Career

My daughter got rank 4156 in AEEE. If any possibilities she will allocate seat in ECE (1st slab) at Coimbatore campus Amrita University.

Ans: Ponnambalam Sir, With AEEE rank 4,156, your daughter has a good possibility for ECE at Amrita Coimbatore, but the 1st slab is uncertain/moderate, not guaranteed. Recent cutoff indicators show Coimbatore ECE generally needs a high percentile, especially for lower-fee slabs. Slab 1 usually goes to stronger ranks first. Fill ECE Coimbatore Slab 1, but also add Slab 2/3, plus ECE/CSE-specialisation at Bengaluru/Amritapuri/Chennai as backups. If you wish and if possible, have 2-3 more reputed private colleges in TN as backups if your daughter is based in TN state. All the Best for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future!

Question by Himanshu - May 10, 2026Hindi

Career

Hello sir.My son has rank 10500 in AEEE exam. Can he get AI and DS in Faridabad or CSE core in Haridwar campus. Are these good option. He also has rank 24000 in Viit exam. Vit bhopal cse can also be considered. Which is better option I live in Delhi.

Ans: Himanshu Sir, With AEEE rank 10,500, Amrita Faridabad AI & DS looks possible/moderately possible, because Faridabad has listed AI/Data Science options in counselling references. Amrita Haridwar CSE Core may also be possible, but Haridwar/Faridabad are newer options, so placement proof is not yet as strong as Coimbatore/Bengaluru. With a VITEEE rank of 24,000, VIT Bhopal CSE is a realistic option. VIT Bhopal has centralized placement through VIT’s Career Development Centre, which is a plus, but Bhopal is still below Vellore/Chennai in brand strength. As based in Delhi, the preference order can be Amrita Faridabad AI & DS > VIT Bhopal CSE > Amrita Haridwar CSE. All the Best for Your Son's Prosperous Future!
