Sir, I secured 374 marks in BITSAT but just 200/360 in advance paper. I did some research on what i cn get with this. Being a girl, branches like civil or chemical are already discarded by everyone. I can opt for aerospace engineering in bombay or kanpur, or engineering in physics, applied physics. Another option is bits pilani cs. I am not exactly crazy for cs or anything. What do you suggest?

Hello

See if you join CS in BITs you will have nice placements most probably.

But if you join IIT bombay with aerospace engineering you're gonna learn a lot of stuffs other that just the subject plus the brand name.

I don't think you should leave IIT when you get rank near 2700.

Thanks & Regards

depends upon your interest in those subjects. have you had a look at the curriculum for each course? many girls like chemistry and physics and do research in those fields like my mother. so they take up engi phy, app phy, or chemical based on their INTEREST! if you aren’t interested please dont walk into those fields as they may be too much to handle. same advice goes to aero. placement wise, pilani cs is good, but look at your interests. civ and chem are usually boring for boys as they end up mugging up a lot. but you may find it interesting. find your interest and then go ahead. dont go for cs in pilani unless you like it. dont go for any course just because of placements or parental pressure. do what you like because you are gonna make that field your career.

all the best.
