32-year-old Male with Consistently High Sugar Levels: Seeking Advice

Ans: BITS Dual Degree MSc+BE has its pros and cons. Placements are good, and if he wants to pursue higher studies later, this degree will be very helpful. But it’s a 5-year program, with a minimum CGPA requirement and a significant cost of around 35-40 lakhs.

Given his academic background, maintaining the CGPA shouldn’t be too hard if he studies smartly from the first year. He’ll likely get his preferred branch, depending on the campus he joins.

The most important thing to consider is his interest—what he’s good at, passionate about, and the kinds of problems he wants to solve in the future.

If these factors align, and you as parents are ready for the financial commitment over the next 5 years, BITS Dual Degree could be a great choice. But if money is a concern, it’s better to look at other NIT options you mentioned, keeping his interests in mind. Besides, success in any field depends on many factors beyond just the institution a student attends, which I’ve explained in detail in several previous answers here on RediffGURU. All the Best for Your Son's Prosperous Future!
