Hello Sir How is NIT Nagpur CsE curriculum and placements ? My son getting it

Ans: HI JAYSHREE MADAM,
The institution is one of the top NITs, ranked within the top 10. Regarding placements, both the institution and alumni support aspirants in securing jobs in the industry. However, if the aspirants do not perform well, that support will not be effective. Therefore, placement success is largely dependent on the aspirants themselves rather than the institution. To enhance employability, aspirants should focus on acquiring the necessary skills and knowledge to meet industry requirements, including eligibility and competency.
So before completing the program, let him pursue AIML in online or part-time.

My son has been placed in wait list in bits pilani counselling does it means he has a chance his marks are 187. Does bits place every applicant who appears in counselling in wait list?

Ans: HI MANJU MADAMA,
What is the rank on the WAIT list? If the waitlist number exceeds five, it becomes very difficult to predict. This is because, at most, only 1-5 seats may be canceled by students in specific programs due to better options.

Sir I applied for pec chandigarh I have freedom fighter quota at State level but pec eligibility criteria is 75% but I didn't eligible for that because I get less marks in maths and because of that I only get 66% I want to ask I will gave my re exam of maths so that I complete my 75 % and eligible for pec Verification of pec has been completed on 3 july and they cancelled my admission So if I eligible for it after my exam they will allow me for admission after There verification sir please answer my questions

Ans: HI ISHITHA,
No,
Your application cannot be accepted. The basic eligibility criteria for PEC Chandigarh require candidates to achieve a minimum of 75% marks at the time of admission. Since you have scored only 66%, your application will be automatically rejected. So you are supposed to get 75%.
I think I have answered your query.
