Sarika Question by Sarika on Jun 26, 2025Hindi
Career

Sir please tell me which B.Tech course will be good for my daughter's future, because at this time every child is doing CS and everyone wants admission in CS. Which option will be better instead of CS in future. Her JEE,MHT CET,COMEDK exam result marks are fine. Maybe she will get CS. But please tell me another course instead of CS. For her gud future.

Ans: Sarika Madam, For a strong future beyond Computer Science, several B.Tech branches are emerging as excellent alternatives, each with robust placement records and industry relevance. Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) is highly valued for its versatility, with placement rates at top institutes ranging from 70% to 92% over the last three years, and graduates working in sectors like IoT, chip design, and telecommunications. Artificial Intelligence and Data Science are rapidly growing fields, with 80–90% placement rates and high demand across industries such as healthcare, finance, and automation. Electrical Engineering remains evergreen, supporting careers in power systems, renewable energy, and smart grids, though recent placement rates have varied between 60% and 80% depending on the institute. Mechanical Engineering, while traditional, is evolving with automation and robotics, maintaining 65–90% placement rates at leading colleges. New interdisciplinary programs like Computational Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, and Cybersecurity are also gaining traction, offering future-proof skills for Industry 5.0 and healthcare technology. For backup options beyond state entrance exams, consider national-level exams like BITSAT, VITEEE, and SRMJEEE, which provide access to top private universities with strong placement records and industry connections.

Recommendation: If your daughter is open to fields beyond CS, prioritize ECE, AI & Data Science, or interdisciplinary branches like Biomedical or Computational Engineering, as these offer high placement rates, diverse career paths, and future relevance. Additionally, keep BITSAT, VITEEE, and SRMJEEE as backup options to maximize her chances of admission to reputed institutions with excellent industry exposure and campus recruitment. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
