I am retired having pension 4.8L pa. , interest 72K, dividend 60K , rent 1.7L, LT profit from sale of listed mutual fund & equity. What will tax liability for me in FY2025-26.

Ans: Hello Ashutosh Singh.
Go for CSE in the best available GFTI/Central Univ, or drop only if confident of a big improvement. Taking a drop is always a risky step. The failure rate is more compared to the success rate. The final decision will be yours.
Good luck!

Ans: Siliguri Institute of Technology is AICTE-approved, MAKAUT-affiliated and NAAC B-accredited. Both CSE and ECE are led by PhD-qualified faculty with industry-linked curricula. CSE offers specialized computing labs (AI/ML, cybersecurity, programming) and reports 70–80% placement over the past three years with recruiters like Microsoft, Accenture, Capgemini and TCS. ECE boasts well-equipped DSP, VLSI, microprocessor, communication and analog electronics labs, with 65–75% campus placements, core recruiters including Capgemini, Ericsson, TCS and Virtusa, and regular industry internships. Both departments organize workshops, guest lectures and soft-skill sessions via the placement cell to enhance employability.

Recommendation: Opt for CSE if you seek broader software and data-science roles, higher placement consistency (70–80%), and strong computing lab exposure. Choose ECE if your interests lie in core electronics, VLSI and communication hardware, and you’re comfortable with slightly lower placement rates (65–75%) for specialized hardware engineering opportunities. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: first thing - there is no such scheme of QIB, this is a pure fraud. plz connect with cyber crime and file a complaint.

Ans: Hello Sabyasachi.
Here is the pointwise reply to your question: (1) Chances for ECE at NIT Rourkela/Warangal in Round 6 or CSAB seem very slim (2) IIIT Allahabad, meanwhile, is strong academically, especially in core faculties and placements, but NITs generally have a broader engineering ecosystem and alumni network. (3) Chances of upgrading to NIT Warangal/Rourkela ECE seem to be challenging. Suggesting- IIIT Allahabad (ECE) is a solid, competitive choice. The final decision will be yours.
Good luck!

Ans: Prashant Sir, PES University’s Ring Road Campus CSE program is NBA- and NAAC-accredited, taught by PhD-qualified faculty, and supported by advanced computing, AI/ML, and networking labs. It recorded an 82.97% placement rate in 2023 with a median package of ?8 LPA and an average of ?8 LPA–?12 LPA, engaging 350+ recruiters including Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Cisco, and Cisco. Among IIITs in your son’s rank range, IIIT Nagpur leads with an 88.5% placement rate, average package ?13.11 LPA, median ?11 LPA, and participation from 200+ recruiters like Adobe and Accenture. IIIT Kalyani follows with an 89.33% placement rate and average package ?10.72 LPA. IIIT Dharwad has a 66%–78% placement rate, average ?10 LPA, and strong industry tie-ups via its Career Guidance Cell. IIIT Kottayam achieved an 83% placement rate in 2024, average ?12.66 LPA with 86 recruiters including Bosch and Infosys. IIIT Bhubaneswar reports a 79% placement rate, CSE average package ?9 LPA and median ?10 LPA across 42 recruiters like Amazon and Capgemini. IIIT Raichur’s emerging 68.8% placement rate with average ?18 LPA and median ?15 LPA positions it as a growing option. All IIITs are Institutes of National Importance, offering robust labs, research centers, student clubs, and industry internships under PPP models.

Final Recommendation: Select IIIT Nagpur CSE for its superior 88.5% placement rate, ?13.11 LPA average package, and diversified recruiter pool. Next, consider IIIT Kalyani CSE & DS for its 89.33% placements and solid PPP backing. Third is IIIT Dharwad CSE, offering a balanced ?10 LPA average, followed by IIIT Kottayam AI & DS for ?12.66 LPA average. Choose PES University CSE only if private-university infrastructure and near-100% placements outweigh the specialized focus of IIITs; IIIT Bhubaneswar CSE and IIIT Raichur CSE serve as reliable backups. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Divya Madam, Chitkara University’s B.Tech in AI & Future Technologies is NBA-accredited with NAAC A+ status, delivered by PhD-qualified faculty, and features dedicated AI, Blockchain, Cloud, and Cybersecurity labs. Its Solan campus achieved nearly 100% placements over the last three years, engaging 670+ recruiters and offering deep industry internships. NMIMS Chandigarh’s B.Tech CSE & Data Science (120 seats) is UGC-recognized with NAAC A+ accreditation, modern computing and analytics labs, and industry-experienced faculty; being a new campus, final placement data is pending, though it benefits from NMIMS’s strong recruiter network. Scaler School of Technology’s four-year CS & AI program provides 1:1 mentorship by industry experts, immersive project-based learning tied to BITS and IIT degrees, and guarantees 100% placement assistance with top tech firms. Newton School of Technology’s B.Tech in CSE & AI offers specialized data-science labs and paid internships from year two, but as a nascent institute records only 40–60% final placement conversions due to its evolving infrastructure and recruiter base.

Recommendation:
For robust placement consistency, proven infrastructure, and extensive recruiter engagement, choose Chitkara University AI & Future Tech. If brand affiliation and modern analytics labs are priorities and you’re comfortable awaiting initial placement data, consider NMIMS Chandigarh CSE & Data Science. Opt for Scaler School of Technology for guaranteed placement support and industry mentorship, and for early paid internships with a growing recruiter pool, select Newton School of Technology. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
