Engineering Aspirant: NIT Surathkal EEE or RVCE CSE for Best Placements?

Ans: Hello dear.
Here is the pointwise reply to your questions: (1) The Maharashtra HSC Board allows isolated subject improvement like Maths. Once you clear it, you'll be eligible for MHT CET (PCM). (2) Will having two separate mark sheets cause problems? - No, it won’t be an issue. During CAP counselling, you can submit your 2023 HSC PCB marksheet and your 2026 Maths marksheet. They are accepted together for eligibility as long as all subjects are cleared from a recognized board (MSBSHSE). (3) You can get admission to top colleges like COEP or VJTI if and only if you clear Maths (HSC) and score high in MHT CET PCM. (4) There is no need to repeat the full 12th via NIOS. Just appearing for Maths as an isolated subject from the Maharashtra board is enough. Our final suggestions are as follows: (a) prepare seriously for HSC Maths (2026), (b) focus on MHT CET PCM 2026, (c) you’re eligible for engineering admissions once both are cleared, and (d) avoid NIOS unless you want to change all subjects (which is not necessary in your case).
Good luck!

Ans: Hello dear.
Both are strong opinions. It would be unjust to recommend either one. You also did not mention the course. Still, I suggest considering UIET if possible. The final decision will be yours.
Good luck!

Ans: Hello dear.
Join M.Tech in Mechanical Design at IIT Patna, a better IIT tag, stronger research exposure, and higher placement potential than NIT Calicut. Mechanical Design also has a broader job scope than Thermal.
Good luck!

Ans: Netaji Subhas University of Technology’s B.Tech in Electrical Engineering is AICTE-approved, NBA- and NAAC-accredited (CGPA 3.62 A+), taught by PhD-qualified faculty in advanced power-electronics, control-systems, and high-voltage labs, and records an 80–95% placement rate over the past three years with branch-specific recruiters including Google, Microsoft, and prominent PSUs. IIIT Una’s B.Tech CSE, AICTE-approved and NBA-accredited, features specialized AI/ML, full-stack, and cybersecurity labs under research-active faculty, with an average package of ?11.02 LPA and a 82.95% overall placement rate in 2025, supported by top recruiters such as Amazon, Deloitte, and Qualcomm. Both institutes maintain strong alumni networks, mandatory internships, and dedicated placement cells, but NSUT excels in core-electrical infrastructure and PSU engagements, while IIIT Una offers deeper software-industry exposure and slightly higher CSE-specific median packages.

Recommendation:
If your son seeks core-electrical engineering roles, robust PSU placement drives, and a legacy campus within Delhi domicile, recommendation is NSUT Electrical Engineering. For broader software and data-science careers, cutting-edge computing labs, and competitive CSE placements, choose IIIT Una CSE. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Balancing a stable State PSU role with advanced technical education can accelerate career growth, refresh domain expertise, and pave the way for future PhD study. Part-time MTech programmes confer the same degree validity as full-time courses, allowing you to apply learning directly at work, maintain income continuity, and network with industry peers, while evening/weekend classes and remote labs offer flexibility; however, they demand significant self-discipline, extend programme duration (often three years), limit on-campus immersion and may constrain research-intensive lab access. For strong accreditation and support, consider these AICTE/NAAC/UGC-approved options: IIT Madras Web-Enabled MTech (multiple specializations, live weekend/evening sessions, on-site exams, project mentorship at work); BITS Pilani WILP MTech (four-semester work-integrated learning with weekend contact classes and continuous evaluation across specializations); Mangalayatan University WILP MTech (blended weekend classes, digital labs, UGC/AICTE/NAAC A+ approval); and DTU Part-Time MTech (weekend labs, robust faculty, NIRF-ranked, corporate partnerships). Excelling in GATE 2027 will unlock admission into these programmes and, post-MTech, realistic paths include senior technical roles (R&D engineer, data scientist, AI specialist), leadership in technology management, higher-paying specialist positions within PSUs, and eligibility for PhD enrolment at premier institutes.

Final recommendation:
Weigh IIT Madras Web MTech for its premier brand, flexible delivery and strong industry projects if you aim for cutting-edge tech roles. As cost-effective, industry-integrated alternatives, pursue BITS Pilani WILP or Mangalayatan WILP. Rely on a disciplined GATE 2027 prep plan to secure these options and keep the PhD door open. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Hello dear,
You did not mention your hometown, state, or gender. However, since you mentioned Cummins, I assume you might be a female candidate. Prefer ENTC @ Cummins or CS @ SNDT if you belong to M.S. If not, consider BIT Mesra Food Engineering. The final decision is yours.
Good luck!
