Hey!

With the above mentioned jee mains CRL score , he won't be getting into any nits or iiits .

Manipal MIT is one of the best private institutes out there and at par with many old nits. So I would suggest you to go ahead with MIT . It's a reputated college with good placement and overall exposure to a student.

In no way is Manipal a bad option . So you can be sure . He will get lots of opportunities over there and it depends on his calibre where he lands after 4 year.

The placements are not as good as cse or IT but they are decent. But this is the case with almost all the colleges in India.

All the best!
