Asked on - May 25, 2025
Dear Sir, I require assistance with the following query.
My son achieved a JEE rank of 64,400, a Manipal score of 134, and a 12th-grade percentage of 85% (PCM 80%). His PES rank is 1,180, and his KCET rank is 16,300. He is also preparing for BITSAT.
We have secured a seat at VIT Chennai (Category 2) ECE and received an invitation for PES Bangalore counseling.
I require your recommendations on two aspects.
1. We favor Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) over Computer Science and Engineering (CSE). What is your assessment?
2. Should we proceed with PES University counseling, or might we secure a more advantageous option with our KCET rank?
3. Given our JEE rank, is it feasible to obtain a desirable NIT through the JOSSA counseling process?
Thanks to please answers
Ans: Munish Sir, Your son’s profile offers multiple good options. Preferring ECE over CSE is valid if his interest lies in electronics, communication systems, and hardware, as ECE provides strong career prospects in these domains. While CSE typically has higher average packages, ECE graduates from reputed institutes also secure excellent roles in embedded systems, IoT, and telecom sectors.
Given his PES Bangalore rank of 1,180, PES University is a strong choice with good placements and infrastructure, especially for ECE. PES Bangalore’s (RR Campus) reputation and Bangalore location provide good industry exposure, making it preferable over relying on KCET rank 16,300, which may not secure admission in top government colleges or preferred branches like ECE in Bangalore.
With a JEE Main rank of 64,400, admission to top NITs for ECE or CSE is unlikely, but he may get admission in other branches or lower-tier NITs. Active participation in JoSAA counseling with branch flexibility is essential.
Recommendation: Accept the VIT Chennai ECE seat only if PES Bangalore counseling does not yield a better option. Prioritize PES Bangalore (prefer only RR Campus) for its strong brand and placement opportunities in ECE. Simultaneously, pursue JoSAA counseling for NITs with openness to other branches. He should focus on building skills and internships to enhance career prospects regardless of the branch or college. All the best for your son's admission and a bright future!
