NBKR INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY
(AUTONOMOUS)
Your engineering college will shape an important four years of your life. Your first counselling choice may have been based on what mattered most at that time. The second counselling offers an opportunity to look once more, compare your options thoughtfully, and consider whether NBKRIST is the right choice to shape your learning, growth and career.
A perspective for meaningful student and parent counselling
Every student has a different reason for making a first choice. A meaningful conversation begins there.
“Hello, am I speaking with ___? I am calling from NBKRIST. I understand that you have already participated in the first counselling and selected another college. I am not calling to pressure you to change your decision. I just wanted to understand what made you choose that college and see whether NBKRIST offers anything that may be useful for you before your second counselling.”
“May I know what was the main reason you preferred that college?”
The most effective conversation is not the longest one. It is the one that speaks to what the student actually values.
“What specifically attracted you about their placements — the highest package, number of companies, average package, or the type of companies?”
“Are you mainly interested in software development, AI, data science, cybersecurity — or are you choosing CSE because it is the popular option?”
Once the student's priorities are understood, these are the strengths that can naturally become part of the conversation.
NBKRIST has been educating engineers since 1979. The institution's long journey represents continuity, stability and an established engineering tradition. It is an autonomous institution affiliated to JNTUA, with NAAC A accreditation and NBA accreditation.
Autonomous status, NAAC A accreditation, NBA-accredited B.Tech programmes and UGC College with Potential for Excellence recognition reflect an academic ecosystem built around quality and continuous development.
Technical training, communication skills, mock interviews, group discussions and campus recruitment preparation contribute to a broader career-readiness journey, alongside software and core company engagement.
A 250+ acre campus, Wi-Fi, central library, laboratories, innovation facilities, sports, gym, hostel, transport and student support create the environment in which students learn and grow.
For CSE, AI/ML and AI/DS aspirants, the learning journey can connect programming, DSA, full stack development, cloud, AI, projects, Git/GitHub and industry exposure with a Learn While Doing approach.
Industry-oriented learning can begin early, connecting classroom foundations with practical skills, projects, emerging technologies and career preparation rather than waiting until the final year.
Career opportunities are an important part of the engineering journey. NBKRIST's placement ecosystem brings together technical preparation, communication skills, aptitude development, mock interviews, group discussions and recruitment opportunities.
Respect for the first choice is not weakness. It is what makes a second look credible.
“That's absolutely fine. You have every right to consider that college. We are only requesting you to compare once more before second counselling because this is a four-year decision. If, after comparing, you still feel your current choice is better, you should definitely go with your decision.”
“Having friends there is definitely comfortable. But your friend will graduate after four years; your skills and career will stay with you much longer.” Then: “If your friend changes college tomorrow, would you also change your decision?”
“That's good. Placement is important. Before deciding, compare the number of students placed, companies visiting and salary distribution — not only the highest package. We can share the information available with us, and you can make your own decision.”
“Yes, city location can be attractive. At the same time, if your priorities are learning, projects, coding, career preparation and campus environment, location can be one factor among several. Why not visit NBKRIST once before deciding?”
You have already made one choice. Before you make the next one, take one more look. Compare the academics. Compare the learning. Compare the career preparation. Compare the campus. Compare what you can become in four years.
