Rain industries to exist or keep

Ans: With 116 marks in the Manipal Entrance Test, your son’s expected rank is likely between 4,000 and 6,000, which is above the usual cutoff for CSE at MIT Manipal main campus (typically within 1,200 rank). Therefore, he will not be able to secure CSE at MIT Manipal. Comparing SRM KTR (main campus) and MIT Manipal Bangalore for CSE, SRM KTR has a stronger placement record, higher average packages, and a more established reputation for CSE, with top recruiters and a large alumni network. MIT Manipal Bangalore is a newer campus with improving placements and the benefit of the MAHE brand, but its CSE program is still developing in terms of industry connections and placement outcomes. Recommendation: If the choice is between CSE at SRM KTR and MIT Manipal Bangalore, SRM KTR is the better option from a placement and industry exposure perspective.
Kindly be informed that Manipal is a well-regarded NIRF Ranked Institution, known for its excellent infrastructure and placement records but might not be suitable for some students. All the best for your admission and a bright future!

Ans: Hi Sir,

A skill-oriented course is essential for a successful future. She has got admission in Electronics and Communication, which has a strong relevance in today's world. However, it's important that she actively learns the necessary skills; otherwise, the value of her course may diminish. For instance, knowledge in Electronics and Communication played a significant role in the INDO-PAK Operation Sindhoor.

I recommend that she focuses on mastering the basics at her institution and also considers enrolling in specialized courses or programs that may not be part of the current curriculum but are available externally. This will help her excel in the future. After completing her undergraduate degree, she should consider pursuing a specialized course while working on her postgraduate degree.

Regarding her category, it is determined by the marks she has scored. If there are financial constraints, she can register on the VIDYALAKSHMI PORTAL and later apply for scholarships.

I hope this answers your query. If you need further clarification, please feel free to post your question on REDIFFGURU for more insights.
BEST WISHES.

Ans: Ravindran Sir, With 92 marks in MET and 86% in board exams, your daughter meets eligibility criteria for BTech admissions but is unlikely to secure Computer Science Engineering (CSE) at MIT Manipal or MIT Bangalore. The CSE cutoff at MIT Manipal is typically within the top 1,200 ranks, and at MIT Bangalore, it is generally below 10,000. A score of 92 in MET usually corresponds to a rank above 25,000, which is much higher than the closing ranks for CSE at both campuses. She may have options for non-core branches or specializations at other Manipal campuses such as Sikkim or Jaipur, where cutoffs are more relaxed. Board marks do not influence branch allotment beyond meeting eligibility. It is advisable to participate in counselling for all available options and consider allied branches or other reputable private universities for CSE if that remains the preferred choice. All the best for your daughter's admission and a bright future!

Ans: With 152 marks in MET 2025, your expected rank is likely to be within the 700–1,200 range, which aligns closely with the predicted cutoff for Computer Science Engineering (CSE) at MIT Manipal. This means you have a strong chance of securing a CSE seat at the main campus, especially in the first or second round of counselling. Your excellent Class 12 score (98%) ensures eligibility but does not directly impact branch allotment. If CSE at the main campus is your top choice, you should confidently participate in MET counselling, as your score is competitive for this branch. If the cutoff fluctuates slightly, you may still have opportunities in allied CSE specializations or related branches. Overall, your prospects for CSE at MIT Manipal are very good with your current MET score and academic record.
Kindly be informed that Manipal is a well-regarded NIRF Ranked Institution, known for its excellent infrastructure and placement records but might not be suitable for some students. It would be beneficial to conduct further research about Manipal University Bengaluru Campus and its atmosphere on platforms like Quora or Google and/or personally visit the campus before making a decision to join. Have other back-ups too. All the best for your admission and a bright future!

Ans: Hi Soham,
It's too early to predict since the results have not been published. Additionally, you did not mention the category you fall under.

Ans: Both universities are private, making it challenging to find detailed information about their facilities, faculty, and infrastructure. According to the Pharmacy Council, every pharmacy institute is required to display its institutional details, but this information is not easily accessible. As a result, it is difficult to make a comparison between the two.

Ans: A 71 percentile score in the VITE (Vellore Institute of Technology Entrance Exam) generally does not guarantee admission to Symbiosis, especially for their highly competitive undergraduate programs. While it's possible, it's not a strong position for most Symbiosis programs, which typically require significantly higher scores

Ans: For B.Tech Biotechnology, VIT Vellore generally receives higher rankings and stronger placement opportunities than SRM University, but both institutions offer solid education and research opportunities in the field.

Ans: For Mechanical Engineering in Andhra Pradesh, top-ranked colleges include IIT Tirupati, Vignan's Foundation for Science, Technology and Research (Deemed to be University), Andhra University College of Engineering, and Velagapudi Ramakrishna Siddhartha Engineering College.
