I need to know about following institutes 1, JIIT Noida, 2. BML Mumnjal University, Gurugram 3. Bennett University, Noida 4. LNMIIT, Jaipur 5. Manipal Jaipur 6. JECRC, Jaipur 7. KIIT 8. SOA 9. SRM KTR 10. VIT Bhopal 11. Manipal Udupi 12. PES Banaglore 13. SKIT Jaipur Which one is best for my son who has secured 84.2% in CBSE Class12 and 84.399 percentile in JEE Mains

Hi,

With 84.4 percentile in JEE Main and 84.2% in boards, your son has decent private college options. Out of the colleges you listed, some are clearly stronger than others in placements, coding culture, peer group, and long-term value.

My overall recommendation order would roughly be:

1. Manipal Institute of Technology

2. The LNM Institute of Information Technology

3. Jaypee Institute of Information Technology

4. PES University

5. SRM Institute of Science and Technology

6. Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology

7. Manipal University Jaipur

My honest suggestion based on placements + peer group + opportunities:

• If budget is not a major issue → Manipal Udupi or LNMIIT are the best overall choices here.
• If you want NCR location + strong placements → JIIT Noida is a very solid option. JIIT has consistently good tech placements and decent average packages. ( JIIT (https://www.jiit.ac.in/existing-student/training-and-placement/students-placement?utm_source=chatgpt.com) )
• If campus life matters a lot → Manipal Jaipur / SRM KTR / KIIT are good balanced options.
• VIT Bhopal is okay, but many students complain about location and crowd compared to VIT Vellore/Chennai. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VIT_Bhopal_University?utm_source=chatgpt.com)
• Bennett has excellent infrastructure and branding because of Times Group, but placements are still below LNMIIT/JIIT level overall. (https://www.shiksha.com/compare-bennett-university-vs-lnmiit-48472-25194?utm_source=chatgpt.com)

At 84.4 percentile, these are the most realistic strong op
• JIIT Noida (especially ECE/IT/allied branches)
• KIIT
• SRM KTR
• Bennett
• Manipal Jaipur
• JECRC

If your priority is specifically CSE placements, then among realistic options I would personally lean towards:

1. JIIT Noida

2. LNMIIT (if branch possible)

3. SRM KTR

4. KIIT

5. Manipal Jaipur

And if your son is getting CSE at Manipal Udupi somehow through MET, then that becomes one of the best options in the whole list.
