Hi!

It’s great that you’re exploring different options. Just to clarify, MHT CET is mainly conducted for admissions into engineering, pharmacy, and agriculture courses, whereas BBA admissions usually happen through separate entrance exams or direct merit-based selection depending on the college. If you gave the MHT CET for BBA, it might not be valid for admission in most colleges because BBA programs usually don’t require MHT CET scores. Instead, colleges may have their own entrance tests, like SET, or they accept marks from 12th boards directly for BBA admissions. So, if you want to pursue BBA, it’s better to check the specific college’s admission criteria carefully or consider appearing for the relevant entrance exam for management courses.

Hope this clears your doubt! Thank you and best wishes!

Hello,

Yes, you ought to take part in CSAB and JoSAA counselling. You may be able to gain admission to several low - ranked NITs, IITs, or GFTIs for Computer Science with all without specialties, even though your CRL rank of 560775 is some what low, particular during the CSAB special rounds.

It is interesting that you are checking specific courses of specific institutions!

According to the most recent information for Belgharia Ramakrishna Mission Shilpapitha, North 24 Parganas, in 2024-2025, their prominent branches are the Diploma Engineering Courses .

More Specifically, It Offers:

• Diploma in Civil Engineering
• Diploma in Electrical Engineering
• Diploma in Mechanical Engineering
• Diploma in Electronics and Communication Engineering, which may sometimes be called Electronics & Telecommunications.

Furthermore, while Electronics and Communication Engineering covers topics such as digital systems, microprocessors, and other aspects of computer hardware, it significantly differs from a dedicated Computer Science diploma or degree. Computer Science delves into software development, programming languages, algorithms, data structures, operating systems, and the theoretical foundations of computing. These aspects are just touched upon in the curricula of the ECE. Therefore, students who wish to build a career in software development or advanced computing should ideally opt for a specialized Computer Science course .

Another consideration needed to be made is to differentiate between Ramakrishna Mission Shilpamandira at Belur Math, Howrah, and Ramakrishna Mission Shilpapitha at Belgharia. Although the names are similar, and both institutions share the same philosophical heritage, they are completely independent and have different academic offers . Shilpamandira in Belur Math comprises a Computer Centre, which offers a wide range of short-term and certificate courses in computer applications, programming, graphics, and hardware. The focus here is on upgrading practical IT skills, and the courses are done by students or professionals who seek to obtain some additional technical qualification. Shilpapitha, Belgharia, mostly offers diploma programs in engineering disciplines such as Electrical, Mechanical, Civil Engineering, and Electronics & Communication, with no or very limited aspects of core computer science. Therefore, understanding this key difference allows prospective students to make an informed choice based on their education and career goals.

Therefore, if you specifically require a full-fletched “ Computer Science ” course such as Diploma in Computer Science, or B.Sc./B.Tech in Computer Science, it appears that the above Institute does not provide such a course , opting to stay within the boundaries of the traditional engineering diploma branches.

Hello!

11th Science fees depend on whether you are joining a government school, private school, or junior college, and also on location:

• For Government schools/junior colleges: 2,000 – 8,000 per year (very affordable).
• Private schools/junior colleges: 20,000 – 80,000 per year.

If you are taking 11th Science with coaching for NEET/JEE, the fees can be much higher.

Thank you, and I suggest checking with your local colleges for exact figures.

Hello!

The diverse options in B.A subjects make it suitable for students from any stream. Even if you have studied science in your class 12 ISC, you won't face any trouble if you choose a B.A subject for your graduation (but B.A subjects demand efforts). If you are not confident with subjects like Political Science, Sociology, History or Geography, choosing B.A English for your graduation will be the safest choice. It will open several career paths like, Academics, Journalism, Language Trainor and Translator, Digital Content Writer, Publishing and Editing etc.

And if you are aiming for Government Services, B.A subjects will give you the knowledge, required for exam preparations.

There's plenty of scope in B.A subjects and many good Universities to choose from. All the best for your future!

Hello aspirant,

Consider internationally renowned universities like Carnegie Mellon University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), which are renowned for their extensive and research-focused programs, if you're looking for a "better" curriculum in data science and artificial intelligence.  Leading educational institutions in India include the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), such as IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, and IIT Madras. These colleges offer strong data analytics and artificial intelligence programs along with solid infrastructure and industry connections.

Thank you

Hope it helps you

Hey Chandana,

Yes, BSc programs in fields like Information Technology, Computer Science, and Data Science are available in several universities and colleges, including options in evening shifts.**

Institutions such as Satyawati College (Evening), University of Delhi, and Surendranath Evening College, Kolkata offer BSc programs suitable for working students or those seeking flexible schedules. Some private institutions, like Mohamed Sathak College of Arts and Science (Chennai), also provide BSc Computer Science in the evening shift.

Additionally, universities like Sharnbasva University (Karnataka) have introduced vocational and honours BSc programs in modern specializations such as Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, and Cybersecurity, designed with industry-focused curricula and practical exposure.

Before applying, you should check the eligibility criteria, class timings, fee structure, and placement support of the respective colleges through their official websites or admission portals.

Information technology, data science, computer science, and other related subjects are among the B.Sc. courses offered by several Indian colleges.  Presidency University Bangalore, Christ University, Amity University, and others are renowned universities.  A number of establishments, like Delhi University's Motilal Nehru College (Evening) and Bangalore's Indian Academy Evening College, also provide evening courses.  For working students, flexible scheduling is offered for evening B.Sc. programs in computer science or information technology.  See the websites of individual colleges for information on admissions and schedules.

Yes, you can find B.Sc. courses in IT, Data Science, etc. in evening colleges. Delhi University (Satyawati Evening College, others) and Surendranath Evening College, Kolkata offer B.Sc. Computer Science/IT in evening shifts. For flexible options, IGNOU provides an online B.Sc. in Data Science & AI, and ICFAI Dehradun offers B.Sc. Data Science with multiple exit points. Some regular colleges like Sharnabasva University and St. Xavier’s Kolkata also offer B.Sc. in AI, Data Science, and related areas, but mostly in daytime. Evening options are limited to big cities, while online courses are more flexible.

Hey Shubhra,

With a JEE Main CRL rank of 10,04,756 and an OBC category rank of 4,42,500, it is highly unlikely to get admission in Computer Science (CSE) in any top AKTU-affiliated government or reputed private college, as CSE remains one of the most competitive branches with cut-offs typically under 2 lakh CRL and much lower for category ranks.

However, you may have a chance in lesser-known private engineering colleges affiliated to AKTU under the OBC reservation, but it depends on:

Seat availability after higher rank cutoffs are filled

Management quota or spot round availability

Regional preference (UP domicile benefits).

Recommendation:

Explore non-core branches like IT, ECE, or Mechanical in private colleges under AKTU.

Consider direct admission in private colleges with AICTE approval (check for quality and placement).

You may also look at polytechnic to B.Tech lateral entry route or appear for CUET UG or state-level exams next year for better options.
