Hello,
If you are looking for colleges with good placements other than through JEE or BITSAT, you can consider private and state-level engineering colleges that conduct their own entrance exams or accept board exam scores. Many of these colleges have strong industry connections and placement cells that help students get internships and job offers. Look for institutes with a proven track record of campus placements, good infrastructure, experienced faculty, and companies visiting for recruitment. You can also check reviews and alumni feedback to understand placement opportunities better.
Hope this helps you.
Hello Aspirant,
From your BITSAT score of 210, BITS Hyderabad entry supports a very focused choice of integrated M.Sc. (like M.Sc. Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Economics or Biology). Generally with this score, admission into the M.Sc. programs at BITS Hyderabad is likely competitive. Based on past trends, the cutoff's for the M.Sc. programs at Hyderabad have ranged 220 to 250. While 210 will typically be below the cutoff marks for most M.Sc. courses, you might still have a small chance / opportunity during the last / spot rounds, provided the cutoff trend is slightly lower that year.
Hello Aspirant,
With a BITSAT score of 172 and SRMJEEE Phase 2 rank of 14,110, securing top branches like CSE at BITS Pilani, Goa, or Hyderabad is unlikely, as their cutoffs are much higher (around 240–270+ for lesser-known branches). Similarly, SRM KTR campus for CSE closes within ~2,000–5,000 rank, so core branches at SRM KTR may not be possible, but Ramapuram or Vadapalani campuses might offer CSE or allied branches.
Now, comparing your other two options:
VIT Bhopal
Part of the reputed VIT group.
Newer campus but decent infrastructure.
Better academic reputation than CU.
Good placements mainly for CSE/IT streams.
Chandigarh University (CU):
Known for aggressive placement marketing.
Good exposure, foreign tie-ups, and more affordable for North Indian students.
Decent placement packages for CSE/AI/ML, but mass placements are often on the lower side.
If you get CSE or CSE-related branches at VIT Bhopal then you take admission at VIT Bhopal.
If not, Chandigarh University is a decent alternative, especially if you’re from North India and want affordability and exposure.
All the best for your admission process.
