Is BITS Dubai better than BITS RMIT for quality education?

Ans: Vivek Sir, For Mechanical Engineering, VJTI Mumbai and COEP Pune are the top choices, both offering 100% placement rates for mechanical, strong national reputations, and excellent industry connections, with VJTI having a slight edge for Mumbai-based students and COEP for those preferring Pune. SVNIT Surat and VNIT Nagpur are premier NITs with strong academics, but recent placement rates for mechanical are lower (SVNIT: 32–71%, VNIT: 23%), though both have excellent infrastructure and research opportunities. SPCE Mumbai and Cummins Pune are highly regarded regionally, with SPCE reporting nearly 90% placements and Cummins close to 100% for mechanical, but their national brand is not as strong as the top NITs or VJTI/COEP. Order of preference should be VJTI Mumbai, COEP Pune, SVNIT Surat, VNIT Nagpur, SPCE Mumbai, Cummins Pune. If your daughter secures Mechanical at BITS Mesra, it is preferable to all except VJTI and COEP, as BITS Mesra offers a national brand, strong placements, and a vibrant campus, but VJTI and COEP provide better location advantages and placement consistency for Maharashtra students. The recommendation is to prioritize VJTI Mumbai and COEP Pune, followed by BITS Mesra, SVNIT Surat, VNIT Nagpur, SPCE Mumbai, and Cummins Pune for Mechanical Engineering. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Among NIMS Jaipur, Jaypee University of Engineering and Technology (JP Guna, MP), and JECRC Jaipur for BTech CSE, JP Guna stands out with a NAAC A++ grade, median package of ?6 lakh, 295 out of 396 students placed in 2024, and top recruiters like Amazon, Infosys, and Capgemini, reflecting strong placement support and industry ties. JECRC Jaipur also offers robust placements, with over 2,000 offers in 2025, an average package of ?6 lakh, and a high percentage of students placed in IT and emerging tech roles, supported by 131 leading corporates and a strong emphasis on industry readiness. NIMS Jaipur provides modern infrastructure, NBA/NAAC accreditation, and 70–80% placement rates for engineering, but the average package is slightly lower at ?4–5.5 lakh, and a significant portion of alumni are placed outside the IT sector. The recommendation is to prefer JP Guna for its higher placement consistency and industry connections, followed by JECRC Jaipur for its strong placement record in IT, and then NIMS Jaipur. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: With a JEE Main rank of 26,258, your son is unlikely to get CSE in any NIT, as CSE cutoffs for even lower-tier NITs generally close well below 20,000 for the open category, though non-CSE branches in some NITs or tier-2 IIITs/GFTIs may be possible. The integrated BTech+MTech CSE at University of Hyderabad (UoH) is a five-year program with a strong curriculum, excellent faculty, and a 90% placement rate, but it does not allow an exit after four years and the alumni network is smaller than VIT’s. VIT Vellore’s CSE (DS) program offers a four-year degree, 90%+ placement rates, a median package of ?9.9 lakh, and a strong national brand. UoH’s integrated program is highly respected academically, offers lower fees, and has good placement outcomes in Hyderabad’s tech hub, but industry exposure and peer group are more limited compared to VIT Vellore. The recommendation is to consider the UoH integrated BTech+MTech CSE if your son is interested in a research-oriented, five-year program with strong fundamentals and is comfortable with no early exit; otherwise, VIT Vellore CSE (DS) remains the better choice for broader industry acceptance, placement consistency, and flexibility. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Sangram Sir, KIIT Bhubaneswar CSE (AI) is nationally ranked (38th for Computer Science in India), accredited with NAAC A++, and consistently achieves 90–100% placement rates, with an average package of ?8–8.5 lakh and top recruiters like Amazon, Microsoft, and Deloitte. MIT WPU Pune CSE is ranked 17th among engineering institutes in India, offers an average package of ?7 lakh, 80% placement rate, and attracts 500+ recruiters including IBM, Infosys, and Amazon. Both colleges have strong industry connections, modern infrastructure, and active placement cells, but KIIT’s placement record, national brand, and alumni network are slightly superior. For a Mumbai-based student, MIT WPU offers location convenience and a growing reputation, but KIIT’s consistently higher placements and broader industry acceptance make it the stronger overall choice for CSE (AI), unless proximity to home or personal preferences strongly favor Pune. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Amrita Faridabad’s B.Tech in AI and Data Science (Medical Engineering) is a unique program blending AI, data science, and healthcare, delivered in collaboration with Amrita Hospital, offering direct exposure to medical research and industry projects, and preparing graduates for diverse roles from data scientist to medical instrumentation engineer. SRM Chennai’s CSE is a flagship program with 80–95% placement rates, an average package above ?7 lakh, and top IT recruiters, offering a strong tech curriculum and a large alumni network. LPU CSE also boasts 90%+ placement rates, an average package of ?7–8 lakh, and strong industry connections, but its brand value and peer group are considered slightly below SRM Chennai and Amrita. If you are certain about a career at the intersection of AI and healthcare, Amrita Faridabad offers unmatched exposure and future scope, but if you prefer a broader tech career with established placement records and industry acceptance, SRM Chennai CSE is the best choice, followed by LPU CSE. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

BEST WISHES.

Ans: HI,
In which aspect?

Ans: With a KCET rank of 7449, getting into Computer Science with AI & ML at PES University Bangalore is possible, but it might be challenging. The cutoff for CSE at PESU, especially for AI & ML, is typically below 5000 and can vary depending on the specific round of counselling and category. You might have a better chance in later rounds or through other quota options.

Ans: With a category rank of 50,900 in JEE Mains, there's a good chance your daughter can get a seat in some NITs, particularly those with lower cutoffs or in the northeastern region. It's unlikely she'll get into the top-tier NITs, but newer or less popular ones are a possibility.
