Sir i am getting BIT bangalore AI and ML in my first round counselling of Comedk..should i accept and freeze it or accept and upgrade it ??...moreover is BIT bangalore good for the above said branch ??
Ans: Aryan, you have not mentioned your COMEDK Rank. Anyway, please note, Bangalore Institute of Technology (BIT) began its B.E. in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI & ML) in the 2022–23 academic year, offering 60 seats annually under the full-time program. The institute is NAAC A+ accredited and known for solid industry connections, with its campus centrally located in Bengaluru's tech hub. Infrastructure for AI & ML is robust, benefiting from significant investment in modern labs and digital resources. Placements at BIT are consistent, with core branches seeing rates over 80% and some reports indicating placement percentages close to 95% for eligible students across disciplines in recent years. While specific placement data for the newest AI & ML batch is not yet available due to the branch's recent inception, the overall trend in BIT’s campus recruitment is promising, featuring top recruiters in tech and product companies. Faculty in the AI & ML department are experienced, but student feedback describes them as average and recommends supplementing classroom learning with self-driven projects and online certifications to remain industry-relevant. Hostel capacity may not suffice for all students; most opt for PG accommodations nearby. The flexible curriculum allows students independence to learn beyond classwork, and the academic environment reduces excessive pressure, making it accessible to maintain a good CGPA.

Recommendation
Given BIT’s reputation, recent investments in AI & ML infrastructure, high general placement rates, and strategic industry location, you can confidently accept and freeze your seat if you prefer security and stability. Accept with upgrade only if you are seeking even higher-ranked institutes. For committed learners, BIT AI & ML is a sound option aligning with future tech trends. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Sir I got Dr Ambedkar institute of technology bangalore mechanical branch should I join it or take a drop?
Ans: Dr Ambedkar Institute of Technology Bangalore offers a well-recognized Mechanical Engineering program, accredited by NAAC and known for its government-aided status and experienced faculty—25–30% of whom hold doctorates from IITs and NITs. The college maintains a student-friendly campus with modern labs, digital libraries, robust hostel infrastructure, and Wi-Fi-enabled spaces. Placement rates for the mechanical branch fluctuate between 75–80% in recent years, with recruiters like Toyota, Bosch, and TCS participating. Faculty are widely regarded as supportive and knowledgeable, though some reviews mention limited research exposure and average practical applications. The academic environment is stable, with autonomous examination standards, frequent internships, and industry-linked projects, but students note that placements can be more competitive for core mechanical jobs compared to other engineering branches.

Recommendation
If you value a strong peer group, established academic processes, and a conducive learning environment, Dr Ambedkar Institute of Technology’s mechanical branch is a prudent choice. Opt for this institute unless you have a clear plan to achieve a much higher-ranked program or preferred branch after a drop year, as the institution offers solid career prospects and industry acceptance. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!
