Career
Dear Sir I hope you are doing well. I would appreciate your guidance regarding the career prospects for students after completing a Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA). Could you please advise on the following: What are the best career opportunities available after BCA? Which technical and soft skills should students develop during their BCA to improve their employability? Are there any certifications, internships, or industry-recognized courses you would recommend? Would you suggest pursuing higher studies such as MCA or entering the job market immediately after graduation? Your expert advice will help us guide students in making informed decisions about their future career path. Thank you for your time and support. I look forward to your valuable suggestions. Kind regards,
Ans: Hem, To build a successful career in tech, balancing a university degree with active, hands-on skill development from day one is essential.1. Tech and Power Skills. Focus on creating a reliable foundation in core programming—mastering Data Structures and Algorithms (Python/Java), SQL, and version control (Git). For development tracks, focus on web technologies like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, and Node.js. Respected industry certifications, such as AWS Cloud Practitioner or Google Data Analytics, add major value to a resume. However, tech expertise only opens the door. Interpersonal capabilities secure long-term growth. Recruiters heavily prioritize soft skills like empathy, clear communication, adaptability, teamwork, and presentation skills. In fact, a report in the Times of India's Higher Education 2026 Edition highlights that technical skills account for just 15% of career success, while these "power skills" make up the remaining 85%. 2. Networking and Market Awareness. A degree becomes much more impactful when supported by a diverse portfolio. Dedicate time to building a strong professional profile through high-quality projects, internships, and relevant extracurricular activities. Cultivating a professional network on LinkedIn by connecting with peers, seniors, faculty, alumni, and industry professionals can expose hidden opportunities. Because the tech landscape evolves rapidly, monitoring industry trends and changing recruiter expectations is vital. Following current job postings and setting up tailored LinkedIn job alerts allows for the intentional alignment of personal projects and learning with actual market requirements long before final-year placements begin. All The Best for Your Prosperous Future!

Career
Which one to choose if I have a keen interest in cse and coding,I got admission offer from tier 3 govt college(drsmru) in cse(specialisation:AI and financial management) and also from IIT Patna BS MS in AI and cybersecurity
Ans: Abhash, The IIT Patna hybrid BS programme may be a good option, provided the degree is properly recognised and you are disciplined, self-motivated, and willing to take responsibility for developing your skills independently. While a recognised hybrid/online degree can offer strong academic and career value, remember that employer eligibility criteria may vary from one organisation to another.

Compared with a Tier-3 CSE college where on-campus placement opportunities are relatively limited, an IIT programme can potentially provide greater advantages through its institutional brand, academic environment, peer learning, alumni network and broader exposure to career opportunities. However, the long-term value of the programme will largely depend on how effectively you utilise these opportunities.

Alongside your degree, continuously strengthening your technical and non-technical skills should remain a priority. Building a strong profile through quality projects, internships, certifications and relevant extracurricular activities can significantly enhance your employability. Developing a professional network on LinkedIn with your peers, faculty members, seniors, alumni and professionals working in your areas of interest can also provide valuable industry exposure and career insights.

It is equally important to regularly monitor industry trends, emerging technologies, job-market requirements and recruiter expectations. Following relevant job postings and setting up appropriate LinkedIn job alerts can help you understand the skills and qualifications frequently sought by employers. This market awareness will help you align your learning, projects and career preparation with actual industry requirements well before you reach your final year. All The Best for Your Prosperous Future!

Money
Sir 10 sal pahle maine apne bete sahil Sanjay Rathod ke nam se 30000 ki fd kar thi oh kaise vapas milega
Ans: » Good that you are checking this old FD now.

» If the FD was made 10 years ago in your sons name, it can still be traced.

– First find the FD receipt, if available.
– Check the bank or post office where it was opened.
– Carry your sons PAN, Aadhaar and bank details.
– If your son is now an adult, his presence may be required.
– If the FD was opened when he was a minor, old KYC records may help.
– Ask the branch to check the FD using his name and customer ID.
– The maturity amount depends on the original FD period and interest rate.
– If the FD matured earlier, the bank can confirm its present status.
– It may have been renewed automatically after maturity.
– It may also have been transferred to another deposit account.

» If the FD receipt is lost

– Do not worry. Banks can trace deposits through their records.
– Submit a written request to the branch.
– Provide the approximate opening year and FD amount.
– Give your sons full name and available KYC details.
– The bank can guide you about the claim process.

» Important point

– If your son is still a minor, the process differs.
– If he is now 18 or older, his KYC may need updating.
– If you tell me the bank name, I can explain the exact process.
– Also tell me whether your son is now above 18 years.

» Final Insights

– Rs.30,000 FD should not simply disappear because it is old.
– The key is identifying the bank and FD account.
– Please keep any old receipt or passbook safely.
– Do not pay anyone claiming they can recover the FD for you.
