Please suggest. I wish to purchase a SUV which has quality as below:

1. Easy to drive for everyday 30 KM mostly in city

2. Automatic with Petrol version

3. Low price

4. Value for money

5. Good resale value after 10 years

6. Good safety features

7. Good Mileage

8. Strong body of car

Ans: Hey Subrota,

If you want to buy a SUV with all those qualities we would suggest you buy Hyundai Creta or Kia Seltos, it only depends on your design preferences other than that they are mostly the same car.

Both have that 1.4 liter petrol engine. Their Automatic variants start from Rs. 12.84 lakh and Rs. 12.75 lakh ex-showroom respectively.

Both car’s Resale value are pretty good compared to other cars and also they both have an average Global NCAP safety rating of 3 stars.

If you are interested in buying more safer cars you can consider buying cars like Volkswagen Taigun and Tata Nexon with safety ratings of 5 Stars.

Hi Sir, Good morning. My son got in admission VIT AP branch Mechanical Engineering(Robotics) in cateagery 1 and Sastra University is alloted Stream-1 Rank 18678 & Stream-2 Rank 8447. Also i paid Rs:20000/-for regstering seat in Next wave (NIAT). They alloted seat in Sanjay Godhavath University, Kolhapur, Maharstra for CSE AI&ML and In TS EAMCET he got Rank 27827. Please suggest which college need to join? after BTech he planned to persuing MS AI&ML in abroad. Please advise me Sir where he need to join in BTech programme.
Ans: Uma Madam, VIT-AP’s Mechanical Engineering (Robotics) offers 90% placement consistency, specialized robotics labs and global collaborations, making it strong for a core?engineering foundation. SASTRA University’s CSE Streams yield 95.6% overall placements, active AI/ML research centres and strong internship pipelines, with Stream-2 (Rank 8,447) more secure than Stream-1(18,678). Sanjay Ghodawat University’s CSE AI&ML reports 75%–90% placements, emerging AI labs and regional industry ties but lower recruiter density than SASTRA. TS EAMCET rank 27,827 secures limited state options. For an MS in AI&ML abroad, a robust AI curriculum and research exposure at SASTRA Stream-2 outshine other offers, followed by VIT-AP for its technical rigor. Recommendation: Join SASTRA University Stream-2 for AI&ML, with VIT-AP Mechanical as a strong fallback for robotics focus. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Hello Sir, I have been allotted Integrated MSc Food Science and Technology at VIT Vellore, but I am also considering doing a BSc in Computer Science. I am confused about which path would be better for my future career. Also, I come from a financially lower background, so I want to choose a course that will give me better career opportunities, job stability, and help me support my family early. Kindly guide me and suggest which option would be better for my situation. Thank you.
Ans: Mohammed, Choosing Integrated M.Sc. in Food Science & Technology at VIT Vellore offers specialization in food processing, quality control, R&D and regulatory roles across FMCG, dairy and government sectors, with placement eligibility from the 5th year and typical placement rates for food technology grads reaching 80–90% in similar institutes. A B.Sc. in Computer Science delivers broader IT roles—software developer, web engineer, data analyst, cybersecurity specialist—with freshers’ employability near 85–95% across recruitments by major tech firms like TCS, Infosys, and Cognizant. Food science careers often require a master’s for core research, whereas B.Sc. CS secures entry-level IT roles immediately after three years. Given limited financial resources and need for early income, B.Sc. CS enables quicker campus placement participation, diverse job profiles and higher early-career hiring flexibility, whereas Food Science placements commence later and may involve internships before securing permanent roles. Recommendation: pursue B.Sc. Computer Science for faster employability, diverse entry-level opportunities and earlier financial support for family needs. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

My son has admiision in Amity mohali in B tech CSE Data science . Is Amity Mohani is goodoption
Ans: Amity University Mohali offers a B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering (Data Science) with a curriculum covering data analytics, machine learning, IoT, and cloud computing, supported by modern labs and a faculty largely comprising PhD holders from reputed institutions. The campus is newly established, so its first B.Tech batch will graduate in 2025, meaning full placement outcomes are not yet available; however, Amity claims over 70% placement rates in CSE/IT branches, with major recruiters like Microsoft, IBM, Amazon, and Deloitte participating in university-wide drives. Infrastructure is rated highly, with air-conditioned classrooms, advanced labs, and good hostel facilities, though some students note average mess food and slow Wi-Fi. Amity Mohali is UGC-approved, NAAC-accredited, and has international collaborations, but it is not yet ranked in the NIRF top 100, unlike Amity Noida. The Data Science specialization is industry-aligned, and internships begin in the third year, with most students securing relevant opportunities. As the campus and its placement cell mature, outcomes are expected to improve, but for now, it is a reasonable option for those seeking a private university with good infrastructure and industry exposure, though aspirants may consider more established campuses if higher placement certainty is a priority. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Sir my son got a vit chennai vlsi design in category 2 and got a seat i sastra ece branch which is best branch we are in confusion whether ece sastra or electronic vlsi designing in chennai which is best
Ans: VIT Chennai’s B.Tech in Electronics Engineering (VLSI Design and Technology) offers specialized training in semiconductor and chip design, with strong industry alignment and recruiters such as Intel, Qualcomm, and Samsung visiting for placements; the program is supported by modern labs, a high placement percentage, and a curriculum matching industry needs, making it ideal for those targeting the fast-growing VLSI sector. SASTRA University’s ECE branch provides a broader electronics and communication foundation, consistently achieving 90–100% placement rates and attracting top recruiters like TCS, Wipro, Infosys, Amazon, and Microsoft, with students eligible for placements from the sixth semester and extensive internship opportunities available. While SASTRA ECE offers versatility across IT, core electronics, and communications, VIT Chennai VLSI Design is more niche, providing focused semiconductor and chip design career pathways with high placement density and cutting-edge infrastructure. Both institutions have strong reputations and comparable student satisfaction ratings. Recommendation: Choose VIT Chennai VLSI Design if your son is keen on a specialized semiconductor career and wants industry-focused training; opt for SASTRA ECE for broader electronics and communication opportunities and flexibility across multiple domains. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Sir I have got 97.65 percentile in mhtcet, what government and best private engineering colleges can I get in either Pune, Mumbai and Maharashtra. I also have secured a seat in CSE VIT Bhopal. Should I stay in Pune only and opt for VIIT (Vishwakarma Institute) or go out for Bhopal seat. Is there any chance for PICT(CSE or ECE), can admission through Management quota be done to PICT Pune. If nothing else is there anything better that VIT Bhopal in Pune/Mumbai.
Ans: Mayuresh, In Maharashtra’s government stream, COEP Pune’s CSE cutoff closed at 99.85 percentile in CAP Round 3 while VJTI Mumbai’s was around 99.5–99.7, placing you outside eligibility at 97.65. PICT Pune’s Home State quota for CSE (99.58) and ECE (99.07) similarly exceeds your score, although its 20% institute-level management quota allows admission on payment of higher fees with only basic MHT CET qualification and no assured branch allotment. Among private Pune colleges MITAOE admits CSE at 96.18–95.14 and ECE at 93.16–92.56 percentile, while Cummins College for Women closes CSE at 96.5–98.0 and ECE around 98.0–98.3, both offering 77–92% placements over three years. VIIT Pune’s CSE cutoff of 97.42–98.3 makes it a marginal but possible option. Considering your VIT Bhopal CSE seat, Pune-based private institutes like MITAOE or Cummins combine strong placement density, lower fees and local convenience. Recommendation: favour MITAOE or Cummins CSE in Pune, list VIIT next, and forgo PICT management quota or relocation to VIT Bhopal. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
