College and Software careers
Folks, need advice. My son has got admits in Manipal, Mechanical branch and MIT WPU, Pune Mechanical with Robotics. He is keen on a Career in software. Has been programming since 11th grade. What advice would you give him to move to software? And any feedback on colleges ?
In my opinion(based on my circumstances), well known means Minimum NIT, other than that, we need to get in to our interested fields.
Based on your situation, choices might differ.
But ultimately, based on both options (any B.tech), your son needs to work hard and either get into masters(on some best institutes) or try for PSU/IES.
On a very personal note, MIT WPU is not a very good college. If possible, Manipal would serve as a better springboard to his career.
Hello. Honestly both colleges are good but not great. Joining the mechanical branch and hoping for a software development job is slightly difficult but achievable with proper roadmap. I would suggest you research a bit about companies visiting college . But manipal seems to be the right choice as of now.
You can DM me for more details, I have worked with careers360 and siksha as college counselor before.
I have good insights.
Note: I like doing college counselling and helping students FOC
Thanks, have DMed
Manipal is quite respected, and a better brand than MIT Pune. Ultimately, enough people also are able to pursue coding while studying mechanical in college, and if it's their passion, they'll sail through.
Manipal will secure career much more.
Thanks for the input
