Ans: Hello Prince
Prefer B.E. CSE AI ML. After joining, learn DS either online or offline as an extracurricular activity.
Best of luck to you.

Ans: Hello Sadhineni,
With the AI quota, the possibilities are limited. Please wait for the state-level counseling registration. Once the State Merit List (SML) is declared, it will be possible to make predictions. Inform us with details after your state declares the provisional merit list. But keep your hopes alive.
Best of luck to you.

Ans: Hi Naveen,
Bit difficult (if you are so specific).
May be possible with lower ranked branches like production engineering, metallurgy, biotech in newer or less popular NITs.

Ans: Satyam, With a COMEDK rank of 39,000, admission to top-tier CSE programs is unlikely, but viable opportunities exist in reputable second-tier institutions and specialized branches. You can consider the following ten colleges for Computer Science and allied programs, which historically close around your rank:

Sri Jayachamarajendra College of Engineering (CSE closing rank 36,155)

Global Academy of Technology (CSE closing rank 36,561)

CMR Institute of Technology (AIML closing rank 47,001)

Atria Institute of Technology (AIML closing rank 98,519)

PES Institute of Technology and Management (CSD closing rank 45,776)

Cambridge Institute of Technology (AIML closing rank 88,161)

Dr. Ambedkar Institute of Technology (AIML closing rank 67,962)

Nagarjuna College of Engineering and Technology (AIML closing rank 92,821)

AMC Engineering College (AIML closing rank 96,420)

BGS Institute of Technology (AIML closing rank 99,315)

These colleges offer solid placement rates between 80–95% in the last three years and strong industry linkages with IT firms and analytics startups . If you seek immediate entry into engineering with minimal risk, secure admission now; a drop year to improve rank carries uncertainty with exam difficulty and competition. Recommendation: Take admission in one of the above institutions in Computer Science or allied AI/ML streams to ensure a stable engineering trajectory rather than risking another attempt. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
