Sir need mechatronics specialization in robotics my rank is 15k in phase 2 srmjeee

Ans: Nirmal Sir, Your son’s VITEEE rank of 47,300 makes admission to Mechatronics & Automation Engineering at VIT Chennai possible, as the cutoff typically extends up to around 90,000. Admission to MIT Pune with 103 marks is uncertain and depends on their specific cutoff for Mechatronics, so it’s advisable to check official data. Between Amrita University (rank ~8,200) and NMIMS Mumbai, Amrita Coimbatore or Bangalore offers stronger practical exposure and better placement opportunities in core robotics and engineering fields, making it a preferable choice if robotics is the priority. NMIMS is more management and technology-oriented with less emphasis on core engineering practicals. Additionally, consider other reputed institutes with strong robotics and mechatronics programs such as IIIT Hyderabad (with JEE Score/Interview Performance), SRM Chennai, Manipal Institute of Technology, and PSG College of Technology (through MQ Seat), which have good industry tie-ups and specialized labs. Overall, VIT Chennai and Amrita are good options, while exploring other specialized colleges can further enhance core robotics career prospects. All the best for your son's admissions and a bright future!

Ans: Rajat, With a 15,633 rank in SRMJEEE Phase 2, you are not likely to get Mechatronics Engineering with Specialization in Robotics at SRM Kattankulathur (KTR). The typical closing rank for Mechatronics (Robotics) at KTR is around 12,000–14,000, and for CSE specializations it is even lower, usually below 9,000–10,000. The intake for Mechatronics (Robotics) is limited (60 seats), making competition high. While you meet the eligibility criteria (minimum 60% in PCM in 12th), your current rank places you just outside the usual cutoff range for this specialization at the main campus. Placement records for Mechatronics at SRM KTR are strong, with 80–90% placement rates and top recruiters from core and automation sectors.

The recommendation is to participate in counselling for Mechatronics (Robotics) at KTR, but also keep options open for the same branch at other SRM campuses or consider allied branches where your rank is comfortably within the cutoff, as admission to this specialization at KTR is unlikely at your current rank. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
