Hii..my daughter has got a seat in VIT under CAT 3 in vellore in Mechanical branch..wanted to know so we wait for MHCET results and make a decision or should I just go ahead with VIT vellore
Ans: You have not mentioned the expected score of your daughter. VIT Vellore’s Mechanical Engineering (Category 3) reports a 50% placement rate (2025) with an average package of ?7.59 LPA and access to 300+ recruiters like TCS and Maruti Suzuki, supported by its NAAC A++ accreditation and QS World Ranking recognition. While core roles constitute 20–30% of offers, VIT’s project-based curriculum and 1,458+ annual recruiters ensure broader IT/consulting opportunities. In contrast, MHCET-based colleges like COEP Pune (2024 Mechanical cutoff: 99.16 percentile) and VJTI Mumbai (cutoff: 99.63 percentile) offer 85–90% placement rates in core sectors through PSUs and automotive giants like Tata Motors, but admission is contingent on achieving ranks ≤10,000 (General category). For mid-tier MHCET colleges (e.g., PICT Pune, D.Y. Patil), placement rates drop to 60–70%, with limited industry linkages compared to VIT. Recommendation: Secure VIT Vellore Mechanical if MHCET rank exceeds 15,000, as top government colleges remain unattainable. If MHCET rank is ≤10,000, prioritize COEP Pune or VJTI Mumbai for cost-effectiveness and core-sector stability. For backups, retain VIT admission while awaiting MHCET results, leveraging its assured infrastructure and global collaborations. All the BEST for your Daughter's Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Hello sirji I got place at NIELIT Ajmer and Thapar both CSE and in NIELIT cyber security and I am from Haryana so wht should I choose?
Ans: As a student from the State of Haryana you are offered seats at NIELIT Ajmer for CSE and Cyber Security alongside CSE at Thapar University, a comprehensive evaluation reveals distinct academic and career pathways. NIELIT Ajmer’s B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering covers Internet of Things, Cyber Security, and Blockchain Technology with a 60-seat capacity, admission via JEE Main closing around 47,166 for general category, and government-funded programs under MeitY ensuring affordable fees and specialized labs. Thapar University’s CSE achieved an 83% placement rate in 2023 with 334 recruiting companies, robust T&P infrastructure, and major recruiters like Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Deloitte, and IBM. Thapar’s average package of ?11.90 LPA underscores consistent industry engagement and comprehensive training. NIELIT Ajmer Cyber Security offers targeted government-backed certification courses, dedicated placement cells, and proximity to Haryana (~322 km), while NIELIT Ajmer CSE remains nascent with limited placement history. Both institutions feature modern laboratories, libraries, and safe residential facilities supporting holistic student development.

Recommendation: Choose Thapar University CSE for its better job placement record, strong ties with companies, and good academic standing; look at NIELIT Ajmer Cyber Security for affordable, government-supported training in new security technologies; steer clear of NIELIT Ajmer CSE because it has little job placement information and is still growing. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
