Considerations

- Your interests and priorities: Are you more interested in pursuing a B.Tech from IIT Bombay or an M.Tech from MIT?

- Your academic and career goals: Will a B.Tech from NIT Surathkal or an M.Tech from MIT align better with your goals?

Ultimately, the decision depends on your individual circumstances, priorities, and goals.

HEY THERE!!

  • Based on your MET score of 133 out of 240, securing a seat in the CSE (AI & ML) program at MIT Manipal is highly unlikely. Historically, the closing rank for this specialization typically falls within the 900–2400 range, and your current score is not competitive enough to meet that standard.
  • Your 92% in CBSE 12th does fulfill the basic eligibility, but it does not influence the merit list, which is strictly determined by the MET score. Unless there’s a significant drop in cutoffs which is extremely rare you will need to consider alternative branches or institutions.
  • While this may be disappointing, it’s important to explore other options where your profile might be a better fit. .

Hii,

Engineering-focused part-time courses are available at MIT Chromepet in Chennai. For roughly three and a half years, you can pursue a B.E. in mechanical or automotive engineering. Postgraduate students can enroll in two-year M.E. programs in manufacturing, mechatronics, and avionics. Those who wish to study while working should enroll in these courses.

Tamil Nadu's TNEA for undergraduates and TANCET or GATE exams for graduate students are used for admission. For more information, get in touch with MIT. Website: https://www.mitindia.edu/

Hello Aspirant,

The university offers a master's program to international students in multiple specializations. Massachusetts Institute of Technology MS program is ranked among the top courses in the world. Applicants must apply for admission to the university MS course through the official website.

Below mentioned are the direct links of their official website, you can check out there for more and brief details.

The only requirement to be admitted as a regular graduate student at MIT is an applicant must have earned a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent from an accredited college, university, or technical school of acceptable standing . Students in their final year of undergraduate study may be admitted on the condition that their bachelor’s degree is awarded before they enrol at MIT.

I hope you might find this answer helpful.

Hello there,

With 198 marks in TNEA (Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions) , you have a very competitive score , especially for the CSE (Computer Science and Engineering) branch.

Here’s the realistic chance in Round 2 (or even earlier):

High Chances:

  1. MIT (Madras Institute of Technology) – CSE: Possible in Round 1 or 2 , depending on your community quota .

  2. CEG (College of Engineering, Guindy) – CSE: Slightly tougher, but possible in Round 2 for BC/MBC/SC/ST categories .

  3. SSN College of Engineering – CSE: Likely, especially in management quota or later rounds . SSN also conducts separate counselling for merit-based management seats.

    Depends on:

  • Your community/reservation category

  • Your region quota (TN State board vs CBSE, etc.)

  • Number of seats filled in Round 1

If you belong to a reserved category (BC, MBC, SC, ST) — your chances increase significantly for all three colleges.


I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.

Since you scored 89 in MET and 83.5% in board, your rank in the MET exam might be in the AIR 10,000-12,000 range. Competition for this rank is high and it allows you to apply to Computer Science, Electronics and Communication, Mechanical or Civil Engineering departments at MIT Bangalore, provided seats are still open and the required mark is achieved that year.


Branches such as Computer Science have difficult entrance requirements, so you can either get a higher rank or consider other courses. Since the cutoffs for these engineering areas are somewhat lower, your chances of being admitted are better.


You should be involved in choosing your subjects and fill your expected choices, in case there is a shortage of seats in your preferred branch.

To join an MS course at MIT, you'll need to complete a bachelor's degree, meet specific departmental requirements, and apply through the online application portal. The process involves submitting transcripts, standardized test scores (like the GRE or GMAT), English proficiency scores (TOEFL or IELTS), letters of recommendation, and a statement of purpose.

Hi Anita,

With a MET score of 120 and a PCME aggregate of 323, your MET rank would probably be between 6,000 and 8,000. Although gaining admission to premium branches such as Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at MIT Manipal or MIT Bengaluru may prove difficult, you have good chances in other branches. Based on previous years' closing ranks, you may consider the following branches:

  • Mechanical Engineering – Closing ranks up to 23,389
  • Civil Engineering – Closing ranks up to 33,327
  • Chemical Engineering – Closing ranks up to 28,039
  • Biotechnology – Closing ranks up to 23,458
  • Mechatronics – Closing ranks up to 19,948
  • Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering – Closing ranks up to 17,416

A score of 197.5 could give your son a reasonable chance of getting into the Aeronautical Engineering program at MIT Chennai, but it's not guaranteed. Aeronautical Engineering at MIT Chennai is considered a competitive program. The exact cutoff rank and eligibility criteria may vary based on the category and quota of the student.

Admission chances with 76 marks depend on the cutoff, course, and category. It may be difficult for top colleges like MIT unless under specific quotas. Please check the official cutoff and counseling details for accurate information.
