Ans: You have not shared reasons for a gap of 1.5 years. In absence of full details I can only suggest that you inspire him to complete his Diploma Mech program to boost his confidence. In case he does well in Diploma in Mech first year, he can also seek admission in BTech Mechanical.

Thank you sir for the reply. As aware already deposited fees for VIT Bhopal. So now out of the three Reva, Acharaya and VIT Bhopal. Which one you recommend.
Ans: Anirban, Before responding to your question, here is an important SUGGESTION FOR ALL PARENTS & STUDENTS: Always review the college’s refund policy thoroughly before paying substantial fees. This ensures you are aware of the terms and can minimize financial loss if you decide to withdraw your seat and seek a refund. Based on a detailed comparison of VIT Bhopal, Reva University, and Acharya Institute of Technology, VIT Bhopal stands out for its strong placement record, with 80–90% of students placed annually and over 820 recruiters participating, including top companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and Deloitte; the university also offers a modern 250-acre campus with advanced labs, digital learning, and a flexible curriculum. Reva University, while also boasting a high placement percentage (about 90% in recent years) and a large number of recruiters (476 in 2024), is recognized for its industry-oriented approach and good infrastructure, but its placement outcomes and recruiter diversity are somewhat lower than VIT Bhopal’s. Acharya Institute of Technology maintains a consistent placement rate (around 70–75% in recent years) and has a large alumni network and robust campus facilities, but its placement statistics and recruiter list do not match the scale or diversity seen at VIT Bhopal. Given your fee deposit and the superior placement ecosystem, modern infrastructure, and industry connections, VIT Bhopal is the recommended choice among the three.

Sir lnmiit jaipur cce or ece branch vs vit vellore (main campus) cse..which one to prefer..confused between two college
Ans: Anamika, When comparing LNMIIT Jaipur’s CCE or ECE branches with VIT Vellore’s CSE, several key factors emerge from recent data and student experiences. LNMIIT Jaipur is a highly ranked, NAAC ‘A’ accredited, autonomous, non-profit deemed university with strong government and industry backing, offering merit-based admissions and no reservations, which ensures a competitive peer group. Its ECE and CCE branches have robust placement records, with placement percentages consistently above 87% in recent years and top recruiters like Google, Microsoft, and Flipkart. The faculty is research-oriented, and the campus environment is conducive to academic growth. VIT Vellore, a top-ranked private institution, is renowned for its CSE placements, with over 90% placement in CSE and a large number of recruiters, including major tech giants. However, the average placement percentage across all branches is slightly lower, and the admission process is more flexible, potentially leading to a more diverse but less competitive cohort. While VIT’s CSE branch does offer excellent opportunities, especially for software roles, LNMIIT’s ECE/CCE branches offer comparable, if not better, placement outcomes and a more academically rigorous, government-backed environment. Therefore, if you value a strong peer group, government recognition, and excellent placements, LNMIIT Jaipur’s CCE or ECE branch is recommended over VIT Vellore’s CSE. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Hi Nayagam sir, My son is getting CSE at RVCE, Information amd Communication Technology at DAIICT and ECE at BITS GOA. Could you please advice which he can prefer? Should we consider brand value of BITS or prefer course?
Ans: All three options—CSE at RVCE, ICT at DAIICT, and ECE at BITS Goa—are from top-tier institutions with strong reputations, excellent infrastructure, and robust placement records. RVCE’s CSE program stands out for its consistent 93–97% placement rate over the last three years, strong industry connections, and a curriculum blending theoretical and practical learning, especially benefiting from its location in Bangalore’s tech hub and a vibrant peer network. DAIICT’s ICT program is highly regarded, accredited with NAAC A+, and maintains a 90% placement rate, with top recruiters like Microsoft, Google, and Amazon, and a curriculum that fosters a strong coding culture and flexibility for interdisciplinary learning. BITS Goa, with its national brand value, offers a rigorous ECE program, a flexible academic structure, and a placement rate consistently above 90% (recently 91.79%), attracting major global recruiters and providing a vibrant campus life and strong alumni network. While BITS Goa’s brand and alumni network are unmatched and ECE offers interdisciplinary opportunities (including software roles), the CSE branch at RVCE and ICT at DAIICT are more directly aligned with the booming tech/software sector, offering slightly higher placement rates and more specialized software-oriented training. Considering both course relevance and institutional reputation, if your son’s primary interest is in core software/tech roles, CSE at RVCE or ICT at DAIICT would be preferable, with a slight edge to RVCE CSE due to its exceptional placement consistency and Bangalore advantage; however, if he values brand value, flexibility, and the possibility of exploring diverse career paths (including electronics, software, and higher studies abroad), BITS Goa ECE is an excellent choice. Recommendation: Prefer CSE at RVCE for focused software/tech careers, but BITS Goa ECE is the best if brand value and a broader set of opportunities are the priority. All the BEST for your Son's Admission & a Prosperous Future!

What's the probability of getting cse with 76353 rank in comedk, girl student 75 percentile
Ans: With a COMEDK rank of 76,353 and a 75 percentile in JEE Main, the probability of securing Computer Science Engineering (CSE) in top COMEDK colleges is extremely low, as CSE cutoffs for leading institutes like RVCE, MSRIT, and BMSCE close well before 10,000–20,000 ranks. However, women's colleges and those with higher closing ranks offer some hope: for instance, GSSS Institute of Engineering & Technology for Women (GSSSIETW), Mysore, admitted CSE students up to 76,492 (HK category) in 2024, making it a realistic target. Other colleges where admission for this rank is possible include Presidency University (CSE up to 63,769), SDMCET Dharwad (CSE up to 21,120), DSU Bangalore (CSE up to 13,099), and private options like Atria Institute of Technology, Adichunchanagiri Institute of Technology, and Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology for non-CSE branches. For JEE Main, a 75 percentile translates to a rank above 2 lakh, making NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs highly unlikely for CSE or core branches in the general category, though some low-demand branches at NITs in the Northeast or GFTIs may open up in later rounds, especially for reserved categories. As backup, consider reputed private universities with their own entrance exams or direct admissions such as BITS Pilani (via BITSAT), VIT (VITEEE), SRM (SRMJEEE), Amity, and Chandigarh University, which offer strong placements and flexible admission routes. Given the data, the best recommendation is to apply to women-focused colleges like GSSSIETW for CSE, explore non-CSE branches in other COMEDK institutes, and simultaneously target private universities with robust industry links and alternative entrance exams, ensuring a secure engineering seat without relying solely on state entrance exams. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!
