Hello,

Yes, you can definitely go for B.Sc in Artificial Intelligence even if you had PCB in 12th, as many colleges allow this if you meet the basic eligibility. It’s good that you are thinking about a backup career.

Artificial Intelligence is a growing field with a lot of demand in the future. After completing your B.Sc in A.I, you can get jobs in areas like data analysis, machine learning, automation, etc. If you later go for a Master’s or PhD, your chances of getting better jobs or research roles will increase. So yes, it has good career scope and growth.

Job security depends on your skills and how much you keep learning. A.I is changing fast, so you need to stay updated. If you are serious about it and build your skills properly, it can be a stable and good field.

As for the counselling process, it depends on the college or university. Some do it online and some offline. You’ll have to check with the specific institute where you are applying.

All the best for your Sub-Inspector preparation and future plans!

Hello Aspirant,

If you are planning on pursuing an Electronics program with VLSI specialization, Manipal University Jaipur (MUJ) and SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Kattankulathur (Main Campus) are two decent private colleges, but there is a considerable difference:

SRM Kattankulathur (Main Campus):

• Has a better brand value and stronger alumni network, especially in South of India
• Core companies such as Intel, Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, L&T, and Tata Elxsi reportedly show up every now and then, but bulk of placements happen in IT.
• SRM has a VLSI lab with M.Tech in VLSI, hence you will get a little more exposure here.

Manipal University Jaipur:

• Known for good infrastructure and raising reputation.
• Core electronics placements are limited, once again most offers are from IT services and consulting companies.
• Moderate exposure to VLSI, and core electronics roles are not that frequent.

If your primary objective is core VLSI with placement in semiconductor companies, neither college is likely to provide really solid core VLSI placements similar to what top IITs, NITs or IIIT-H might offer. However, SRM Main Campus has relatively Stronger industry tie-ups, Better electronics lab facilities and Stronger placement record

Hello,

If you’re planning to enter the VLSI field. Maven Silicon in Bangalore is actually quite a reputed institute for VLSI Design. It’s known more as a finishing school or training institute rather than a college, and it provides industry-oriented training with hands-on tools like Verilog, SystemVerilog, and EDA tools used in chip design.

Also, VLSI is a niche but booming domain, especially with India’s push toward semiconductor manufacturing. If you're serious about this field and want to upskill after engineering, then Maven is a solid choice to consider.

All the best, and thanks for reaching out!

Hello,

VLSI is one of the career paths students prefer after B.Tech in electronics. Joining a finishing school or specialized training institute can be a great step after completing your B.Tech or M.Tech in Electronics or related fields. These institutes help you to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and industry expectations, especially in a core field like VLSI. There are some of the  well-known institutes in India that are popular for VLSI Design training;

CDAC (Centre for Development of Advanced Computing) provides the VLSI Design and Embedded Systems course, especially, at Pune, Bangalore, and Hyderabad centers. It is a government-recognized institution, and placements are quite good.

Maven Silicon (Bangalore) offers full-time VLSI design programs focusing on RTL Design, Verification, and SystemVerilog. If you are a fresher aiming to enter a semiconductor company.

SITARAM (Silicon Institute of Technology) and ChipEdge are known for practical VLSI projects and tool-based learning.

When you are shortlisting a finishing school, keep these points in your mind:Course curriculum should include hands-on work on tools like Cadence, Synopsys, etc, Faculty experience, Internship or live project opportunities, and, Past placement records.If you are a working student you can also check some finishing schools which offer hybrid or weekend batches. You can also explore government-supported finishing schools like NIELIT, or check out colleges with AICTE-approved finishing school tie-ups.

Hi Ayush,

We understand your concern, as NEET is a very competitive exam you need at least 550 or more to get admission into a decent MBBS college not a top tier college as it would require 650 to 700 marks in NEET.

Now, it is good as you are keeping BDS/ BAMS or BHMS as backup option and then reappearing for NEET exam next year. But, be sure that you can simultaneously prepare for NEET while studying BAMS.

If you strongly feel to pursue for MBBS then you may even take a complete year drop with good preparation for 2026 NEET exam but if you want to minimize the risk, it is better to opt for BAMS/ BDS and then trying your luck again in 2026 exam.

Hi Disha,

There are various institutes that offer online and offline coaching available you can check Career360 website for CUET preparation material and queries as well. But since you are looking for a top college like SRCC, it is advisable that you should opt for offline coaching near your residence to have better concept understandability. You may also refer to YouTube channels that might also help with the roadmap.

CUET would mostly consist of class 11th and 12th syllabus so revise your domains well and you may specifically start studying for CUET when you are done with your class 12th syllabus itself.

ALL THE BEST!

hi,

Since you appeared only for JEE Main Paper 2 B-Planning and did not appear for the B-Architecture paper, you won't be eligible for admission to B-Architecture courses. The architecture seats require you to appear and qualify in the B-Architecture paper specifically.

If a college offers both B-Architecture and B-Planning, your rank in the Planning paper can help you get a seat only in the B-Planning course, not in Architecture.
