Sir my son confuse he got IIPE. Chemical, Comdedk rank 2308 he will take bms cse, Vitee vellore cse(5yh catagory) Whos is best
Ans: IIPE’s B.Tech in Chemical Engineering is offered by an Institution of National Importance under the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas, boasts NBA-accredited curricula, specialized petrochemical and process-engineering laboratories, faculty with industry and research experience, strong PSUs linkages with ONGC, HPCL, IOCL and GAIL, and achieved placement rates of 97.6% in 2023 and 93.8% in 2024 in core energy roles. BMS College of Engineering’s CSE programme, NAAC A++-accredited, features modern programming, AI/ML and networking labs, PhD-qualified faculty and an active placement cell, but saw CSE placement rates of 74% in 2021, 64% in 2022 and 62% in 2023. VIT-AP’s CSE arm, part of a NAAC A++ and NBA-Tier-1 IoE institute, delivers outcome-based AI, data-analytics and cybersecurity training in advanced labs, faculty with global credentials, and consistently places over 90% of CSE graduates with recruiters like Amazon, Microsoft and Deloitte.

Recommendation: Only if your son is really interested in chemical engineering, prioritize IIPE Chemical Engineering for an assured core-sector trajectory, elite accreditation, and PSU absorption pathways; choose VIT-AP CSE next for its high placement consistency, cutting-edge infrastructure, and global institute status; consider BMSCE CSE only if cohort size and institutional legacy outweigh comparatively lower recent placement rates. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

I got CSE (AI/ML) in IIIT Nagpur (98.33%ile in JEE mains)...and i think i would get SPIT CSE (99.66 in MHTCET)..what should i prefer?
Ans: Hemant, IIIT Nagpur’s B.Tech in Computer Science & Engineering with AI/ML specialisation holds NAAC A++ accreditation and NBA approval, featuring state-of-the-art AI/ML, computer vision and NLP labs, a PhD-qualified faculty engaged in AICTE-QIP research programmes, and strong Tata Consultancy Services partnerships. In the 2024 placement cycle, the CSE branch recorded an 89.11% placement rate, with recruiters including Amazon, Goldman Sachs and Microsoft. Sardar Patel Institute of Technology (SPIT), an autonomous NAAC A+ institute affiliated to the University of Mumbai, offers a robust CSE curriculum supported by its Technology Business Incubator, modern programming and AI labs, and an active placement cell that has achieved a assured complete placement consistency for eligible CSE students, attracting over 100 companies annually. Both institutes maintain rigorous outcome-based pedagogy, comprehensive pre-placement training and vibrant alumni networks, differing primarily in placement consistency and urban singleton versus emerging campus environments.

Recommendation: Prioritise SPIT Mumbai CSE if assured complete placement consistency, extensive industry-incubator integration and metropolitan networking resonate with your career goals. Opt for IIIT Nagpur CSE-AI/ML if you seek an emerging institute’s specialised AI/ML research focus, national importance status and strong academic-industry collaboration in a growing tech hub. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
