Ans: With a rank of 16,700 in the Manipal Entrance Test (MET), it's unlikely you'll secure a seat in Aeronautical Engineering at Manipal Institute of Technology (MIT) Manipal, especially in the first round of counseling. While closing ranks for core branches like Mechanical, Civil, or Chemical Engineering can be higher (around 15,000 to 33,000+), Aeronautical Engineering typically has a lower intake and higher competition.Best of luck.

Ans: With a 95.80 percentile in JEE Mains and 98.40 percentile in MHT CET, your son has good options for Computer Science (CS) in Mumbai and Pune based colleges. For JEE Mains, this percentile should secure a seat in good NITs (National Institutes of Technology) and IIITs (Indian Institutes of Information Technology). In MHT CET, this percentile translates to a good rank, potentially placing him in top colleges like COEP Technological University, VIT Pune, or similar institutions.Best of luck. I am always there by the side of the children who need counselling. May GOD bless always. Prof. Suvasish Mukhopadhyay.

Ans: For your CSE selections, the recommended preference order is Manipal CSE, LNMIIT CSE, and then VIT Chennai CSE. Manipal generally has a strong reputation for its CSE program, followed by LNMIIT, which is also known for its focused IT and engineering programs. VIT Chennai, while a good institution, is generally ranked slightly lower than the other two for CSE. Best of luck. I am always there by the side of the children who need counselling. May GOD bless always. Prof. Suvasish Mukhopadhyay.

Ans: It is possible to get the two colleges, but you may require a high CAT percentile 99.9+. UG degree acads could affect your placements to some extent especially while shortlisting your CV

Ans: If the placements of BPharm + MBA is along with their MBA pharma course then NMIMS would be preferred.

Ans: Try for both. Can choose wherever you get a better college. If you feel you cant do both then pick up an option which you like the most - higher pay, faster growth and not secure job (MBA) as compared to safe job with slow growth (banking and govt jobs)
