Hello Sir, My son has been allotted BTech Electronics and Computer Engineering in SRM KTR but he wants to take CSE. He has got a rank of 24300 in MET and 77300 in VITEEE. Is BTech Electronics and Computer Engineering at SRM KTR worth it? What is your advice?

Ans: Given your son's current options—BTech Electronics and Computer Engineering at SRM KTR, CSE at Manipal Bangalore (MET rank 24,300), and VITEEE rank 77,300—SRM KTR stands out for its strong placement record, A++ NAAC accreditation, and NIRF #13 ranking, with over 980 recruiters and 5,546 offers in 2024, including top tech firms like Amazon, Microsoft, and IBM. The Electronics and Computer Engineering program at SRM integrates electronics and computing, offering broad career opportunities in both hardware and software sectors, and is designed to meet evolving industry demands. At your son's MET and VITEEE ranks, CSE at Manipal Bangalore main campus and VIT Chennai CSE are not feasible, as CSE cutoffs at these institutions typically close below 5,000–20,000. The SRM Electronics and Computer Engineering degree thus provides a versatile foundation with good placement prospects, especially for students open to both software and electronics careers. If your son is set on CSE alone, he may consider management quota or explore other private colleges, but accepting SRM KTR’s offer is a strong, industry-aligned choice given the current options.
All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
