My son scored 143 JEE mains ranked 64000. He scored 254 in BITS. INTERESTED IN B.TECH, CS. FOR NIT WHICH COLLEGE SHOULD BE BETTER. AND FOR BITS PILANI WHAT SHOULD I DO? OR SHOULD I LOOK COLLEGES IN AUTONOMOUS COLLEGES IN MUMBAI? PL GUIDE

Dear parent,

As your son has secured 64000 rank in JEE mains then I can assume that he has secured this much rank from general category.
Now with this much general category rank your son cannot get any NIT, but there is a chance that he can get NIT only if he belongs from certain home state because in some nits by applying home state quota one can get a good branch. For eg - if he belongs from himachal pradesh then he can get seat cse branch in nit Hamirpur.

But for other state candidates there is no chance to get any NIT even the lower ones with this much rank.
Also if you belong from home state of some of the top nits then also he cannot get a seat in any NIT.

Now as your son secured 254 marks in BITSAT then it is a better option that he should go with bits campuses because it's far more better than any of the NITs.

BITSAT is one of the most national reputed exam organised by BITS (BIRLA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY AND SCIENCE) for admission in undergraduate courses in bits pilani, bits goa and bits Hyderabad.
The difficulty level of bits exam can be compared to jee advanced.

As per seeing your son's score and last year cutoff scores for bits campus then your son has a chance to get :-

BITS PILANI CAMPUS:-
Manufacturing Engineering - 255

BITS HYDERABAD CAMPUS :-
Chemical Engineering - 252
Civil Engineering -254

BITS GOA CAMPUS :-
Chemical Engineering - 254


Now, as per the last year cut off for BITSAT, he cannot get Computer Science Engineering in any of the bits campuses but there is a chance that he can get manufacturing engineering in BITS Pilani. And he can also get BITS Hyderabad and BITS Goa Campus.

Now if you are thinking that apart from these two reputed Institutions i.e. nits or bits you should go with some other autonomous college of Mumbai, then it will not be the correct move for you and your son.

Because these two are nationally reputed Institutes.
BITS is a very good exceptional college so if you want to send your son to any autonomous college of Mumbai then it will be better and good move that you should send your son in BITS Hyderabad or BITS Goa because for these colleges the placements are very good and also he will get a tag of a reputed institution behind his back.

So, it would be better that he take admission in BITS, as there is low chance of bits pilani, but still according to me he should go with BITS Goa or BITS Hyderabad Campus instead of any other colleges of mumbai.
And it is a good opportunity that he will get to study in a college which is more good than nits. Though he will not get cse but apart from cse he can get other good branches in bits hyderabad or bits goa. And if he wants cse branch, then as per his capability he can change his branch to cse by securing more than 9.5 cgpa in his 1st year which will be a tough task.
