Which other engineering entrance tests students of Karnataka PU are eligible to write? Where the fee structure is low

Ans: Karnataka PU students are eligible to write multiple engineering entrance tests beyond the commonly known KCET and COMEDK, offering diverse pathways to quality engineering education with varying fee structures. KCET serves as the primary state-level exam with application fees of Rs. 500 for general category and Rs. 250 for SC/ST/CAT-1 students, providing access to government engineering colleges with extremely low fees ranging from Rs. 12,920 to Rs. 1.63 lakhs. COMEDK UGET charges Rs. 1,950 application fee, opening doors to private engineering colleges with fees between Rs. 10-40 lakhs. JEE Main (application fee Rs. 1,000 for general category) enables admission to NITs and IITs nationwide. BITSAT (Rs. 3,500 fee) provides access to BITS Pilani campuses. VITEEE (Rs. 1,350 fee) offers VIT admissions. Other eligible exams include MET for Manipal Institute of Technology, SASTRA JEE for SASTRA University, WBJEE for West Bengal colleges, and SRMJEEE for SRM Universities. Karnataka students can also appear for AP EAMCET and MHT-CET as non-local candidates. Government engineering colleges in Karnataka offer the most affordable education with fees as low as Rs. 25,000-35,000 annually at institutions like UVCE Bangalore. Recommendation: Choose KCET for lowest-fee government colleges, supplement with JEE Main for national opportunities, and consider COMEDK for quality private institutions, prioritizing government colleges for maximum affordability and strong industry connections. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Hello Rohit - My son is studying in class 12th and is meritorious student. Apart from JEE what engineering colleges entrance exams are available for him?

Ans: Rakesh Sir,

Apart from JEE, there are multiple Entrance Exams your Son can appear in, to get admission into any one of the top-ranked University / College all over India.

It depends upon a number of following factors:

1) His Interest, Aptitude, Attitude, Personality Traits & his Orientation Style.
2) He is interested in which Stream / Branch to build his Career (Computer, IT, Design, Architecture, AI & ML, Aerospace through Indian Institute of Technology, Electronics, Electrical, Civil, BioTech etc.)?
3) If your son is interested to join any one of the top-ranked Private Colleges of your State (or) other States, he can appear for the Entrance Exams of the same.
4) As you have mentioned that he is a meritorious student, getting admission into any one of the reputed University / Institute / College won’t be an issue for you.

Now itself, shortlist around 10-15 reputed University / College and also the Stream / Branch he is interested in.

Know the Admission Process for each University / College and apply in advance.

NO need to prepare separately for each Entrance Exam as he is already preparing for JEE. He should only know the Exam Pattern and attempt previous 10-years Question Papers to boost his confidence.

Hope the above information is helpful to you, Sir, for your Son.

If you need any other clarifications for you or have questions for anyone, post your questions (in detail) to me and/or follow me here in RediffGURU to know more on ‘Careers / Education / Jobs’.

All The BEST for your Son’s Bright Future from RediffGURU.

I'm 29 years old and I'm diabetic for 4 years and married for 2 years. Now I'm pregnant with our 1st baby, but I'm little anxious about it. How diabetes is gonna impact on the baby?

Ans: Congratulations on your pregnancy! It’s completely natural to feel a little anxious, especially when managing diabetes alongside such a big life change. However, with careful monitoring and support, many people with diabetes go on to have healthy pregnancies and healthy babies. Elevated blood sugar levels can cause the baby to grow larger than average, which may lead to complications during delivery. Also, babies born to mothers with diabetes may produce extra insulin in response to high glucose levels in the womb, which can cause their blood sugar to drop after birth. Babies exposed to high glucose levels in utero may have a higher chance of developing metabolic issues later on. To lower these risks, keep your blood sugar in target range. Regular monitoring and adjustments to your insulin or medication regimen can help. Your medical or healthcare team will guide through nutrition, physical activity, and medication adjustments tailored to pregnancy.

Hello sir I have completed my diploma in tool and die making 3+1 year course 3 years in college and 1 year intership training in industry, I have written dcet exam for lateral entry in second year engineering programs I am thinking to change my field from mechanical to ECE should I?

Ans: Switch to ECE only if:

You’re interested in electronics, computers, or software fields.

You're willing to put in extra effort to bridge subject gaps.

You want to move away from manufacturing and factory-based roles.

If your interest is in automation, robotics, or embedded systems, ECE is a good fit.

My daughter scored 96.6 in MHT CET in which colleges she can get for Computer Science in Mumbai. Also we are trying to apply through EWS

Ans: With a 96.6 percentile in MHT CET and EWS category, your daughter stands a strong chance for Computer Science (CSE) or related branches in several reputable Mumbai colleges. VESIT Mumbai’s 2022 cutoff for CSE was 96.6 percentile for open seats, and recent years show similar or slightly higher cutoffs; with EWS reservation, her chances improve, especially in later rounds. Vidyalankar Institute of Technology (VIT) Mumbai had a CSE EWS cutoff of 94.84 in 2024, while Information Technology closed at 92.99–92.81, making both attainable. Shah & Anchor Kutchhi Engineering College, SIES Graduate School of Technology, and Fr. Conceicao Rodrigues College of Engineering (Bandra) also have CSE/IT cutoffs between 94–97 percentile for EWS and open categories. Other strong options include Bharati Vidyapeeth College of Engineering (Navi Mumbai), Don Bosco Institute of Technology, and Atharva College of Engineering, all with CSE/IT cutoffs in the 94–97 range for EWS. SPIT Mumbai, DJ Sanghvi, and Thadomal Shahani are more competitive, typically closing above 98–99 percentile for CSE, so they are unlikely at your score.

The recommendation is to prioritize VESIT Mumbai, Vidyalankar Institute of Technology, Shah & Anchor Kutchhi Engineering College, SIES GST, and Fr. Conceicao Rodrigues College for CSE/IT, listing them in CAP counselling in that order, and include other reputable colleges such as Bharati Vidyapeeth, Don Bosco, and Atharva as strong alternatives, maximizing her chances for a CSE seat in Mumbai under EWS. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Question by vikas - Jun 23, 2025Hindi

Career

My daughter got 94.9 percentile in MHT-CET. We are in OBC category. What college she will get.

Ans: Vikas Sir, With a 94.9 percentile in MHT-CET 2025 and OBC category, your daughter is well-positioned for admission to reputable mid-tier engineering colleges in Maharashtra, though CSE in top government colleges like COEP Pune, VJTI Mumbai, or PICT Pune is out of reach, as their OBC cutoffs for CSE are typically above 98.4–99.1 percentile. However, she can secure CSE, IT, or related branches in strong private and autonomous colleges such as DY Patil College of Engineering Pune (CSE OBC cutoff ~98), AISSMS College of Engineering Pune (CSE OBC cutoff ~96), PCCOE Pune (CSE OBC cutoff ~94), Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Technology Mumbai (CSE OBC cutoff ~96), and MIT World Peace University Pune (CSE/IT OBC cutoff ~94–96). These institutes offer robust placement records, modern infrastructure, and supportive academic environments. She may also consider branches like AI, Data Science, or IT in these colleges, as cutoffs for specializations are often slightly lower.

The recommendation is to prioritize DY Patil College of Engineering Pune, AISSMS College of Engineering Pune, PCCOE Pune, and MIT World Peace University Pune for CSE/IT, and include AI/Data Science as alternatives, ensuring a strong academic and placement environment at her percentile and category. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
