Sir which one should I opt for Parul unitversity CSE (core) or srm vadapalani ECE?

Ans: Parul University’s CSE (core) program is well regarded in Gujarat for its industry-aligned curriculum, supportive faculty (many with NIT backgrounds), and a strong placement record, with the 2024 average package at ?4.5 lakh and highest at ?46 lakh, and over 2,200 students placed in 2024 across 1,300+ recruiters, including TCS, Capgemini, and Wipro. The campus offers modern infrastructure, a good learning environment, and a placement cell focused on employability skills. SRM Vadapalani’s ECE program boasts an 85% placement rate in 2024, with top recruiters like Samsung, Qualcomm, Siemens, and Amazon, experienced PhD faculty, and modern labs. The campus is centrally located in Chennai, with excellent infrastructure and strong industry connections, and ECE graduates have opportunities in both core and IT sectors. While Parul CSE offers broader software job options and a strong placement ecosystem, SRM Vadapalani ECE provides more specialized training in electronics and communication, with robust placements in both core and IT companies.

The recommendation is to opt for Parul University CSE (core) if your primary goal is a career in software or IT, as it offers a wider range of job opportunities, higher placement numbers, and a strong academic environment, while SRM Vadapalani ECE is preferable if you are specifically interested in electronics and communication with good placement support in core and allied sectors. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Sir I got admission in parul university cse and srm institute vadapalani ECE. Which one is a better option....?
Ans: Parul University’s CSE program offers strong industry exposure, modern labs, and a curriculum featuring AI, ML, and data analytics, with 70–80% placement rates and 2,100+ students placed in 2024, but the average package is modest and much of the placement is off-campus. SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Vadapalani, offers ECE with a robust curriculum, well-equipped labs, and strong industry connections, achieving an 84.6% placement rate in 2024 with core, super dream, and marquee company offers, and a solid record of students placed in companies like Samsung, Qualcomm, Nokia, and Siemens. SRM Vadapalani also provides excellent infrastructure, guest lectures from industry experts, and a focus on innovation and research. While Parul CSE provides flexibility and a broad tech foundation, SRM Vadapalani ECE stands out for higher placement consistency, core electronics opportunities, and a more established pan-India reputation.

Recommendation: Choose SRM Institute Vadapalani ECE for its stronger placement record, established industry ties, and comprehensive academic environment; opt for Parul University CSE only if you are firmly committed to software roles and prefer its location or fee structure, as overall placement and industry visibility are stronger at SRM Vadapalani. My Suggestion: If you are based in Northern India, better to go for PARUL. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

My daughter has secured seat in Manipal Bangalore for CSE. She has MhtCET percentile of 95.6.Is it worth going for cet rounds? Is there a chance for coep CSE? Is coep CSE good or manipal banglore better?
Ans: Gayatri Madam, (Though MIT-B-CSE is good, prefer any one of the following recommended colleges in Maharashtra for your DAUGHTER). With a 95.6 percentile, top-tier government colleges like COEP Pune (CSE closing ~99.85) and VJTI Mumbai (CSE ~99.9) lie well beyond reach. Realistically, target autonomous and private institutes where CSE/AI & DS cutoffs range 90–96 percentile. Consider:

AISSMS Pune CSE: closing 96.56–96.84 percentile in Round 3, strong NBA/NAAC accreditation, PhD faculty, 85–92% placements over three years.

DY Patil Pimpri CSE: closing 96.06 percentile for General HS in 2024, modern computing labs, 90+% placements, robust industry tie-ups.

JSPM Narhe Pune CSE: closing ~94.19 percentile (GOPENO) in 2023, NBA-accredited, 80–85% placement consistency, specialized design and AI electives.

MIT Academy of Engineering (Alandi) AI & DS: closed at 90.71 percentile, AI-ML labs, industry collaborations, 88–92% placements.

AISSMS IOIT Pune (ICT): CSE closing ~98–99 percentile (ICT branch lower), slightly higher average packages, interdisciplinary ICT labs.

Final recommendation: For assured admission and balanced accreditation, labs, and placements at ~96 percentile, recommendation is AISSMS Pune CSE. As alternatives, consider DY Patil Pimpri CSE, JSPM Narhe CSE, MIT AOE Alandi AI & DS, and AISSMS IOIT ICT based on your daughter’s branch preference and percentile bracket. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Sir, I had passed my 12th(pcb) in 2023 from Maharashtra board...was preparing for neet but unfortunately couldn't make it. Now I'm planning to switch my career to engineering..so for that i need to add maths.. Can i give an isolated maths exam of hsc board exam next year in feb/march & then appear for mhtcet(pcm)..Will i be eligible?! .. I have few important doubts:- 1)if i pass isolated maths..i will get another marksheet..so i will have 2 marksheets..one of 12th pcb(2023) & one of isolated maths(2026)..so will this cause any problem during admission in engineering colleges of maharashtra? I mean will two seperate marksheets be accepted during cap counselling for engineering admission? 2)If i score well enough in mhtcet(pcm)2026..Can I do btech cse from top engineering colleges of maharashtra like coep pune or vjti?! Or any other engineering colleges of maharashtra. 3) Do i need to repeat full class 12th via NIOS(i mean do i need to appear for all subjects again from open board),or is appearing for only maths enough through maharashtra hsc board via isolated exam. . Please guide me sir, I want to follow the correct path and avoid wasting another year.Your response would mean a lot to me.
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!
Follow me if you like this reply. Thanks!
