If you feel like you deserved a better college but messed up JEE because of burnout, bad strategy, health issues, or just one bad year, you're not alone. If it was your drop year and it didn't go as planned. Don't get demotivated.

Last year, even though I was in your position, where I messed up both my attempts, I thought that I wouldn't get into a good college, and I used to get thoughts as everything ended. But then i tried to score well in other exams , and filled out exams like BITSAT , VIT etc . Got 250 marks in BITSAT , 5k rank in VIT, but stil wasnt getting my dream branch and clg So my friend said that lets try for Scaler School of Technology. As the entrance test of SST (NSET) had only maths and aptitude, I filled the form, cleared the interviews, and i had the offer letter with a scholarship.

And this was the period when i was confused whether to choose Bits, Vit or State college or SST. But after counseling with my cousins, seniors nd seeing the recession in the job market. Most of the ppl said that seeing the curriculum, instructors, and peers at SST, they made me prioritise Scaler over other Colleges.

So i visited the college, met with instructors, students, and understood their curriculum. Since my father is a Software Engineer, he said that this is a very good curriculum seeing the job market trend, and the future. So i need not have to struggle to convince my parents. But if parents have doubts, they can contact their assigned PAs after they get the offer letter.

So overall i would like to say that dont get demotivated, think that maybe god has other plans for you. And now if I ask my friends who are at traditional colleges like IITs, NITs, and others, they are lacking many things, like participating in the very first hackathon in the first month itself, to shipping usable projects.I feel that i was lucky to have such mentors and counselors who guided me and supported me to choose SST.

Since i dont want u guys to make a wrong decision, feel free to seek for queries or guidance. And If you are considering SST and havent registered for NSET (Entrance Exam) and are planning to register for the NSET exam, you can use the refer code DEEP6F37, which gives ₹500 off on the registration fee.

If you're someone exploring college options or considering SST as an option or backup, feel free to ask questions, and I'll try to answer based on my experience.

I am a first yr student at SST and this was the topic that i was confused weather to choose IIT Madras or Bits pilani for Parallel degree . So i dont want u guys to be in confusion on this topic so both the degrees have their pros and cons

Starting with IIT Madras( Bachelor of Science (BSc Hons.) in Computer Science) :
Pros : IIT Brand Name And Tag is which that most people flow away for , cheaper than Bits Pilani and also Financial benefits can be claimed
Cons : U have to spend time to study , do assignments, , prepare for exam and go to exam centres like TCS ION ones

Bits Pilani (Bachelor of Science (BS) in Data Science and Applications) :
Pros : No husting to study or go to exam centre to write exam , u can give the exam online as well as offline
Cons : Higher Price than IIT Madras and no financial benefits

My Take : I chose Bits Pilani over IIT Madras due to the travelling reason and also the time that i would give for the IIT assignemnts and preparation for exam can be invested to learn something of our curriculum or explore something .

This is completely upto u weather to choose IIT Madras or BITS Pilani.
