Have people joined PSG TECH through a management quota? If so, what was the 12th cutoff?
PSG Tech (PSG College of Technology, Coimbatore) management quota — here's the ground reality for 2024.
Does PSG Tech have management quota?
- PSG Tech is a Government-Aided autonomous institution under Anna University. As an aided college, the management quota operates differently than private colleges.
- Technically: A portion of seats (~25-30%) falls under "Management" category in aided colleges. However, PSG's management quota is ALSO filled primarily through TNEA counselling (DTE Tamil Nadu) — so it's not a simple "pay and get in" management quota.
For non-TN students or 12th board cutoffs:
- PSG Tech uses 12th board marks for admission via TNEA. No separate entrance exam specifically for PSG.
- Cutoff for TNEA (12th marks): For CSE at PSG Tech — typically requires 185-192/200 (12th PCM + Language, Tamil Nadu board, for general category). This is genuinely high.
- For non-TN board students: Management quota pathway may be available — inquire directly with PSG Tech admission office (+91-422-4344000).
Unofficial donation: Reports vary. PSG is generally considered more transparent than many private colleges. The aided status means some regulatory oversight on fees. Any unofficial payment claims should be verified directly.
PSG Tech is genuinely one of Coimbatore's (and Tamil Nadu's) top engineering colleges — NAAC A+, strong placements in hardware and software both. Getting in through TNEA merit is the most reliable path.
Which is better, PEC or NIT Hamirpur?
One of my cousins left NIT Hamirpurfor PEC and no one could answer this question better. Here is what he stated
- The crowd quality is much better at PEC. The seniors are very helpful and your peers are highly intellectual thus motivating you to perform better. NIT Hamirpur on the other hand has some cases of ragging.
- NIT Hamirpur is located remotely although its campus is very serene and beautiful. PEC on the other hand is situated amidst the hustle and bustle of the city with every service available at doorstep.
- NIT Hamirpur has better faculty but this does not matter because, in the end, you have to resort to self-studying.
- NIT Hamirpur being a government college has an amazing infrastructure while PEC is way behind.
- PEC has a better placement scenario that NIT Hamirpur which can further be understood by the table below

Could Some seniors from Thapar University who bagged placements share what juniors could do to gain good placements?
The seniors at Thapar University are really helpful and cooperative. Here are some things which might answer your question.
- Finish CLRS “Introduction to Algorithms” textbook in your first year. This is the most important rule.
- Start participating in programming contests, such as TopCoder SRMs, right from your first year.
- Make sure you are a part of some cool projects in college.
- Build your GitHub profile.
- Engage in startup culture. Try to create jobs rather than looking for one.
- Visit HackerNews (HN) every day. You'll learn great things and see cool projects worldwide.
- Learn everything you can about Machine learning and Deep learning.
- Play hard with CNNs, RNNs, GANs, etc. Try to create some cool projects around ML.
- Engage in some real research work, better if under your professors and publish papers.
- Study for placements during holidays.
- Read “Cracking the coding interview”. Do placement questions from the career cup for your dream companies.
- If you dream of Google, prepare hard for Google's APAC test. It is like another JEE.
- Keep eye on reputed international internships and grab one if you can. Discuss more on this with your professors.
Lastly, it is suggested that you keep your body and mind fit. You need to stay healthy and think clearly during the placement process.
How is DDU Gorakhpur?
DDU, the university is one of the best in the state of Uttar Pradesh.
- The infrastructural facilities are peaceful and appropriate for education as the campus is not very crowded.
- The university provides hostel accommodation facilities to both male and female candidates enrolled here. You need to fill a separate form to apply for the hostel.
- The university has 6 faculties comprising 29 departments that have been playing a significant role in imparting holistic education.
- For admission in UG courses at DDU Gorakhpur selects students on the basis of merit in qualifying exam and performance in the entrance exam conducted by the university.
The university has a total of 341 colleges affiliated with it. Their curriculum is really good, but they lack in providing students with good placement opportunities.
Overall, it is a good college for learning, but if placements are your major concern, you can also opt for other universities.
Which one is a better option for an MCA, MNNIT Allahabad or JNU New Delhi?
JNU conducts the toughest entrance for MCA. Its faculty and environment are ideal for this degree. MNNIT Allahabad is a good institute, but its MCA is not comparable to JNU.
However, JNU does not have a concrete curriculum for its MCA entrance. Its entrance is conducted in a non serious manner, and the paper is difficult to crack. Moreover, it has a lot of reservations and quotas, even on such limited seats.
On the other hand, NIMCET is conducted in an organized manner, and its paper is easy to understand. The syllabus and blueprints are made available on the official website for good preparation.
Despite all this, JNU has a very professional education system. It does not offer any placements, but you’ll get good exposure on campus and land a job on your own. The MCA faculty is highly experienced, but I am not well aware of the university’s infrastructure.
Talking of MNNIT Allahabad, it is a highly reputed NIT with a good placement record. Its campus is completely ragging free, and the environment is strict on academics. But its hostels aren’t in a good shape.
I would suggest JNU New Delhi for an MCA, but even MNNIT is a decent choice.
Which is better overall, KMC Manipal or BMCRI Bangalore?
My knowledge is limited to BMCRI as my brother is a student of the same so I won’t be able to give you a comparison between BMC and KMC. Here are a few highlights of the college
- The student's performance isn't followed up personally by the faculty due to the huge batch size.
- Academics depend on how keen you are to learn and follow the faculty’s advice.
- The clinical exposure is better than any other college in the state.
- The infrastructure may not be at par with other government colleges but it’s well-equipped to handle the multitude of cases coming in each day.
- BMCRI Bangalore MBBS fees is as low as 70,200 (1st Year Fees)
- The crowd is refined and highly talented because there are no management seats
BMC focuses on the holistic development of the students so you can expect a fun-filled campus life.
Which one's better in terms of placements and fee structure, Manipal Institute of Technolgy, Manipal or Bhilai Institute of Technology, Durg?
Both Manipal Institute of Technology and Bhilai Institute of Technology, Durg are excellent engineering colleges with their own unique strengths and weaknesses. Here is why you should consider joining BIT Durga instead of MIT Manipal.
- Fees: MIT Manipal BTech fees are INR 18.62 Lakhs while BTech first-year fees of Bhilai Institute of Technology are just INR 81,862.
- Location : BIT is situated in a very small city Durg. However, there aren't any connectivity issues as the railway station is quite near. You only need a bike to roam the entire city
- Education : Very few qualified professors can be found here as the institute is very old.
- Placements: One of my friends told me about the placement scenario at BIT Durga. The highest CTC stood at INR 20 LPA while the average CTC stood at INR 4.5 LPA.
The only major flaw the institute has is that despite being a 28-year-old institute it's affiliated to a 7-year-old university which affects the quality of education.
In all, if you dont want to spend much then BIT Durga is the right option for you.
Which is better for the future: YMCA Faridabad CSE, or NIT Kurukshetra for production?
You can get a branch change at NIT Kurukshetra, after the first year. But for that, you’ll have to work hard and be among the toppers in your branch.
Even if you end up in Production, it has good opportunities in PSUs. But for that, you’ll have to crack GATE with a good rank. For example, ONGC offers really good vacancies for Production Engineers who have cracked GATE. Campus recruitment scenario isn’t that great for core jobs, but you’ll have some options in the NIT campus.
I recommend you study hard and get a branch transfer to COE/IT at NIT Kurukshetra. However, even if that doesn’t happen, you can sit for GATE. Also, there’s core and non-core jobs that you can get through campus placements.
What should I take, metallurgy and material science at IIT Indore or electrical at IIT Bhilai?
I think the branch matters more than the institute and that being said personally I feel IIT Bhilai Electrical is a better option than IIT Indore Material Science. The small batch size enables you to make the most out of the opportunities and resources. The points below further prove my opinion
Here is a small list of things why you should consider IIT Bhilai:
- The professors come from IIT Hyderabad, one of the most reputed and well-regarded new IITs.
- The fractal system is followed here giving you a more flexible academic palette.
- The core subjects are introduced in the first semester itself so that students can identify their interests early.
- IIT Bhilai EE lab is one of the very few labs in India which is Cloud Connected.
- There are 20 All-in-ones that have 8-core i7 processors in the EE lab.
- The institute has vibrant campus life with dynamic student activities going on such as 6 cultural clubs and 3 tech clubs.
- The Electronics Club of IIT Bhilai Is well-equipped and enables you to experiment with various modules like GPS module, GPRS module, accelerometer, etc
Overall, taking IIT Bhilai will not disappoint you and you will have a plethora of opportunities here.
