Ans: Gursimran, You have strong board marks and JEE Math percentile, with admission offers for CSE at Thapar Derabassi and Robotics & AI at Patiala. Derabassi campus is less developed, with poor placements, limited labs, and a weak coding culture, located in a polluted industrial area. It is mainly a satellite campus, with most students moving to Patiala later. Patiala campus, in contrast, offers better infrastructure, faculty, placements, and an active student environment. Robotics & AI is a growing, specialized field with good career prospects. If you are motivated and willing to dedicate a year to improve your JEE rank, dropping a year to aim for IITs or NITs is advisable to avoid future regret. However, if you prefer to start college now, joining Patiala for Robotics & AI is a better option than Derabassi CSE, balancing immediate quality education and career prospects. All the best for your admission and a bright future!
