Sir please guide me to join nit nagpur or continue btech in state college.Can I get placement by joining nit nagpur after 2 years gap...

Ans: Hi Manoj
Congratulations on getting CSE @ NIT Nagpur after a lot of effort and hard work.
Now, forget all your worries and focus on your studies.
There will be no effect on job placement if you excel in your studies and pass out with a high CGP.

Sir my daughter got comedk 26000 rank so which college is good and cse or ece group she will get or not
Ans: With 26,000 rank, your daughter faces significant challenges for CSE admission but has viable options for ECE and other branches across multiple colleges. With this rank, CSE admission is difficult as most top colleges require ranks below 20,000, but she can secure admission at colleges including Sambhram Institute of Technology (CSE cutoff 85,964-98,982), Atria Institute of Technology (CSE cutoff 28,017-46,740), Global Academy of Technology (CSE cutoff 26,511-98,020), K.S. Institute of Technology (CSE cutoff 38,487-89,820), Cambridge Institute of Technology (CSE cutoff 12,347-14,764), Rajeev Gandhi Institute of Technology (CSE cutoff 54,709-100,446), BNM Institute of Technology (ECE cutoff 12,000-17,000), Acharya Institute of Technology (CSE cutoff 16,299-53,948), Adichunchanagiri Institute of Technology (CSE cutoff 54,709-94,331), and AMC Engineering College (CSE cutoff 33,653-94,314). For ECE, her prospects are better with most colleges accepting ranks up to 30,000-40,000 range, while alternative branches like AI/ML, Data Science, and ISE offer excellent admission possibilities. These colleges demonstrate placement rates ranging from 64% to 97% with average packages between 4.39-8.41 LPA and highest packages reaching 20-50 LPA. Recommendation: Focus on ECE admission at BNM Institute, Atria Institute, or Global Academy of Technology for better prospects, while keeping CSE options open at Sambhram Institute and K.S. Institute of Technology as backup choices. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Should i take Electrical engineering at IIT Dhanbad or Mechanical Engineering at IIT BHU, considering that i would like to study further? My interest lies in electrical, but everybody says joining old iits is better..
Ans: You face a strategic choice between your preferred electrical engineering specialization and the perceived prestige of older IITs. IIT Dhanbad Electrical Engineering demonstrates strong placement performance with 80.77% placement rate in 2025, with 84 out of 104 students placed, while maintaining consistent performance across 2022-2024 . IIT BHU Mechanical Engineering shows 82.40% placement rate with 103 offers in 2024, achieving 64.38% placement percentage according to recent data . Regarding higher studies prospects, both institutions offer excellent pathways with IIT Dhanbad providing M.Tech programs in electrical specializations including Power Electronics and Mine Electrical Engineering , while IIT BHU offers integrated B.Tech+M.Tech dual degree programs and comprehensive graduate school opportunities . The "old IIT advantage" remains relevant as recruiters understand distinctions between established and newer IITs, with older institutions providing stronger alumni networks and industry connections . However, newer IITs like Dhanbad (converted from ISM in 2016) have established reputations, particularly in core engineering sectors . While IIT BHU leads in highest packages and overall brand recognition, IIT Dhanbad's electrical program offers superior alignment with your interests and comparable placement success . Recommendation: Choose IIT Dhanbad Electrical Engineering for optimal career alignment with your interests, strong 80.77% placement record, and excellent higher studies opportunities in specialized electrical fields, as passion-driven education typically yields better long-term outcomes despite old IIT brand advantages.
All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ai and data science ( 4 years) vs cse (4 years) at nit in terms of future placement and package
Ans: Abhishek, both branches demonstrate strong career prospects with distinct advantages. NIT Delhi's AI Data Science program achieves 66% overall placement rate with CSE at 72% placement rate, while NIT Trichy CSE maintains exceptional 96.9% placement rate consistently across 2022-2024. AI Data Science specialization shows promising growth potential with India's AI industry expected to experience 40% year-on-year growth by 2025, creating 20 million jobs and adding $957 billion to the economy. However, CSE offers broader versatility with established industry connections, with top NITs like NIT Surathkal and NIT Calicut achieving 100% CSE placement rates. AI Data Science cutoffs range from 3,348 to 14,740 at premier NITs, indicating competitive admission standards. While AI Data Science graduates command specialized roles in emerging technologies like machine learning engineering, data science, and AI research with 10-20% higher starting packages than traditional CSE roles, CSE provides comprehensive foundation enabling career pivoting into AI/ML through certifications later. Industry demand shows CSE maintaining steady 60-80% placement rates across IITs and NITs, while specialized AI Data Science programs demonstrate 68-100% placement rates in specific institutions. Recommendation: Choose CSE at top-tier NITs like Trichy, Surathkal for superior placement consistency and career flexibility, or select AI Data Science at premier NITs if passionate about specialized AI roles and willing to accept focused but rapidly growing career path. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
