Hello there,

No, it is not compulsory to take Computer Science (CS) in engineering if you have taken it in 12th HSC. While many students choose to pursue engineering degrees in the same field they studied in school, such as Computer Science Engineering (CSE) or Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE), it is not a strict requirement.

Key Points:

1. Field Choice : You can pursue various branches of engineering regardless of your 12th-grade subjects. For example:

   • If you studied CS, you can choose from branches like Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, or Information Technology .
     
     
   • If you studied Electrical Maintenance and Electronics, you might consider Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, or Instrumentation Engineering .
     
     

2. Eligibility : Engineering colleges generally have eligibility criteria based on subjects taken in 12th grade (such as Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics), but they often allow students from diverse backgrounds as long as they meet the minimum requirements.
   
   

3. Interest and Career Goals : Choose your engineering discipline based on your interests, career goals, and job market demand rather than just the subjects you studied in high school.
   
   

4. Flexibility in Specialization : Engineering programs often allow students to specialize or take electives in areas related to their interests, even if they come from a different academic background.
   
   Conclusion:

Feel free to explore various engineering branches that interest you, even if they differ from your 12th-grade subjects. Focus on what aligns with your career aspirations and personal interests. If you need more specific guidance on engineering fields, let me know!

Hello Mihir,

With a score of 39 marks in COMEDK UGET, it is likely that you may face challenges in securing a seat in Computer Science (CSE) or Electronics branches at many colleges, as the cutoffs for these programs are usually quite high. However, you may still have some options, especially in lower-ranked colleges or branches that have slightly lower demand.

Potential Colleges for CSE or Electronics with 39 Marks:

1. Lower-Ranked Private Engineering Colleges :

   • Some colleges may have openings for students with lower scores, particularly in branches like Electronics and Communication or Electrical Engineering. However, the availability of seats will depend on the specific year's competition.
     
     

2. Others Possible Options :

   • You could explore colleges that offer a broader range of programs and are known to have flexible admission criteria. Examples may include:
     
     
     • Jain University
     • Nagarjuna College of Engineering and Technology
     • Global Academy of Technology
       
       Suggestions:

• Check College Cutoffs : Look for previous years' cutoff data on the COMEDK website or college admission portals.
  
  
• Consider Other Branches : If you are open to pursuing related branches like Information Technology or Electrical Engineering, you might have a better chance.
  
  
• Management Quota : Some colleges may have management quota seats where admission criteria might be different, though they typically come with higher fees.

It’s important to stay updated with the admission announcements and counseling rounds to maximize your chances.
