Thankyou for your prompt revert sir. Sir, I know NMIMS is very much reputed for Management courses. But I am a bit sceptical about engineering courses there. Also we have very less knowledge about the engineering fields and prospects. Need 3 clarifications: 1) Is NMIMS Mumbai equally good for updated Btech courses,academics and good engineering placements? 2)If Location is not a factor, which one should be more preferred between VIT and NMIMS Mumbai? 3) Is choosing CSE specialisation over CSE core advisable?

Ans: Prefer CSE (Core) Sir as she can upgrade her knowledge later for any Specialization she is interested in and / or according the Job Market. No Issue. Prefer VIT over NMIMS.

Hi Sir, awaiting urgent revert to my query posted 3 days back. Reposting here with few added points. Request urgent revert as we need to take urgent decision, VIT orientation being in July and NMIMS admissions are closing this week. My query below: We are now in Mumbai. My daughter has got Core CSE Category 5 in VIT Chennai. Is NMIMS equally good for updated Btech courses,academics and good placements? My daughter is eligible for B.Tech Comp Sci and Engg (Data Science), B.Tech Comp Sci and Engg (Cyber Sec), B.Tech (Artificial Intel), B.Tech (Computer Science and Business Sys), B.Tech (Data Science) in Mumbai campus. They don't have core CSE in Mumbai campus. Fees are almost same in VIT Chennai and NMIMS. We are ready to relocate if needed and send her as Day Scholar to VIT chennai. Also she scored 83% in CBSE Boards, her MHTCET score is 89.5 and Comedk rank is 12593. But counselling is getting delayed, not yet started. If there is any possibility of getting in a good college with her scores which could be preferred over VIT chennai / NMIMS preferably CSE , please guide us accordingly. Location preferred is Maharashtra or Bangalore but do not wish to compromise on the best course for my daughter with regards to academics and future career. If needed, will relocate. Please let me know the options available and which course/institute should I go with and Why? Awaiting eagerly in Anticipation. Please advice
Ans: First let's understand the importance of Core CSE without specialization. The course equips you with all the science in depth that makes up the computer world. AI and NN are a creation of the masters of Core CSE.
Secondly, let's understand what specialized branches will offer. Here the focus is more on the subjects that leads you towards the understanding of the subject of specialization.
Looking at the employability aspect after graduation, is that AIML, Data Science and Cyber Security is on boom and a huge population is taking the course, so a percentage of graduates might be ending up with fairly paying jobs which are obviously purely application based. Very few would end up into the research area.
Development of computers is still in scope and lot of IT services jobs are related to core CSE.
Your daughter has scored 80+ which means she can do better in both Core CSE and CS with Specialization.
Placements of VIT Chennai is better so go for Core CSE. She will outperform and will have the opportunity to delve deep into Computer Science and Engineering per se. Hope she is a thinker and a philosophical person.

Ans: Nair Sir, you have mentioned your most preferred locations: MH or Bengaluru. Keeping in view these factors, order of preference (1) NMIMS-CS-AI (2) NMIMS-CS-Cyber Security (3) NMIMS-CSE-DS (4) NMIMS-DS (5) VIT-C-CSE. Honestly speaking, getting top-ranked / good college through COMEDK-12593 & MHTCET-89.5 for CSE will be difficult. (Or) alternately, you can can consider VIT-C-CSE (Core) (if your daughter's 1st preference is this) without relocating, but by putting your daughter in Hostel, as relocating to Chennai just 4-years will be a tough task and is not ideal Sir, according to me. All the BEST for your Daughter's Bright Future.

Hello sir, Saranya from chennai. Doing final year B pharm. Heard about gpat from my friends How to do this entrance exam for joining pg course Please tell me if any other entrance exam is there for pg
Ans: Hi Saranya,

As you mentioned, many pharmacy graduates are considering the GPAT after completing their undergraduate studies in pharmacy. However, there are several more options available for pursuing a postgraduate degree in pharmacy today.

Here are the options for pursuing a PG in pharmacy:

1. GPAT: You can appear for the GPAT exam, and if you qualify, you will be eligible for a scholarship.

2. NIPER: You can also take the entrance exam for NIPER (National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research) campuses, which include Ahmedabad, Guwahati, Hajipur, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Raebareli, and Mohali. Qualifying here also makes you eligible for a scholarship.

3. PG-CUET: A new option is the PG-CUET (Common University Entrance Test), which is being conducted by the NTA (National Testing Agency) under the Department of Higher Education.

4. Government Institutions: State governments will announce admission through advertisements. Admission will be based on marks or an entrance exam.

5. Deemed Universities: Some deemed universities offer admission through their own entrance exams.

Historically, GPAT and NIPER were the primary options for national-level aspirants. Starting from the academic year 2025-26, the NTA will also conduct the PG-CUET for national-level admissions.

I have included more details about the PG-CUET below.
PGCUET (CODE - SCQP23)

The Common University Entrance Test CUET (PG) will provide a common platform and equal opportunity to candidates across the country, especially those from rural and other remote areas, and help establish better connections with the Universities. A single application form will enable the Candidates to cover a wide outreach and be part of the admission process to various Central and participating Universities. NTA has been assigned the responsibility of conducting the Common University Entrance Test (CUET).

Under Participating universities/instituttions are: Central and State Universities, Deemed and Private universities and Government institutuions.

Candidate must only select the test paper code. As the list of universities is dynamic and keeps on changing during the registration period.

A candidate can apply for two (02) Test Papers by paying the application fee (details mentioned at point 18).

A candidate can further apply for (02) additional Test Papers by paying additional application fees as applicable and maximum of four (04) test paper codes can be selected.

Mode of exam is CBT (Computer Based Test).
All Question Papers will be MCQ type. • Candidates can choose a maximum of four question paper codes. • The comprehension section in the General Paper will be available in either English or Hindi, based on the candidate's preference indicated during registration. • The duration of the Exam would be 90 Minutes. • The Question paper will have 75 Questions. • Four marks will be awarded for each correct answer and one mark will be deducted for each wrong answer.

Syllabus: The Examination Syllabus will be uploaded on the Exam.

For the current year the examination dates (13.03.2025 to 31.03.2025) got over. iI THINK YOU HAVE MISSED IT. DONT WORRY. NEXT YEAR YOU CAN TRY OR YOU CAN ASSIST YOUR JUNIORS.

ADMISSION: Admissions will be handled at the level of each of the participating Universities for their respective programmes. After the declaration of the CUET(PG) 2025 results, the respective Universities will declare the counselling/admission schedule and merit list based on the CUET (PG) - 2025 score and any other criteria of participating universities. Please see the website of the concerned university for details regarding admission. There may be admission counselling by the universities with additional fees.

Applicants as per eligibility can apply for multiple test paper codes in one registration form. Candidates should not apply through duplicate or multiple forms, which may lead to the cancellation of all his/her Application Forms
