hello guys, 17M here. Just finished my boards and I seriously need some guidance regarding colleges and courses.

So first of all, I’m really interested in coding, which is why I wanted to take CSE Core (specialization is negotiable depending on the college). I wrote SRMJEEE, VITEEE, and I’m about to write SUNCEE.

Right now, I’ve got:

• CSE Core in SRM Ramapuram
• CSE Specialization in SRM KTR

Unfortunately, I didn’t make it through VIT, and I’m hoping I get selected in SNU.

The problem is, I’m honestly not very interested in joining SRM Ramapuram, but at the same time I’m kind of running out of options. So I wanted to know about other good colleges I can still try for in Chennai or nearby.

So I need some help:

• Can you guys suggest some good colleges in Chennai for CSE?
• Also, does Sathyabama have a second phase entrance exam/admissions?

Would really appreciate any advice because I’m super confused right now 😭

17M, just finished boards + entrances, feeling lost.
I’m kinda an average student, usually get around 75–80%. Most of my friends are also like that, but idk… I feel like I’ve always wanted more than that. I’ve had pretty big plans for myself wanted to do CSE core and maybe go for masters later.

But my sibling is on a whole different level. He knew what he wanted from a really young age and is actually doing it now. My parents trust him a lot and he’s never really been a burden or anything. When I compare myself to that, I feel kinda behind.

Main reason I’m posting is my SRMJEE result. Got around 30k rank. And honestly… I feel like that’s it. Like I’m not gonna get what I wanted and everything I planned is just not gonna happen.

Right now I just feel really lost. I don’t know what to do next. I can’t even talk to anyone properly about this because I feel like they’ll judge me. My friends don’t really care much about their future, so I can’t relate to them either.

I just don’t know what to do anymore.
