I'm getting admission in a 2 tier engineering college for CS and ai should I accept it or do biotech from 1 tier college
Also which is better cs or ai
Ans: College will not matter if you can develop your skillset. AI is a subset of CSE. So you can go for CSE. Then you can do specialization on AI.

Hello sir.
I have done my B. Tech and had been a lecturer for 2 years and then I started teaching online and offline in schools after my marriage and child birth. Currently, I'm looking for more job options where I can prosper and earn a good amount of money. I tried to start tuition bt all in vain as parents were not serious about the home tuition concept in my society and they take me for granted. What career options and opportunities will help me grow in my career . I'm ready to do b. Ed also but I need some expert advice before pursuing any degree.
Ans: Assess what you enjoy most and where your strengths lie—pure teaching, mentoring, content creation, or administrative roles.
You can start B.Ed alongside your current job or tutoring if flexible.
Explore free or low-cost online courses to test new skills before committing financially.
You will not be able to earn a good amount of money by doing job. Try to do business.

I have 6 subjects in my class 12 and passed class 12 with physics as additional subjects as i got RT in it....i passed in year 2025...can i give improvement exam in year 2026 for maths and chemistry and also physics without clearing the RT(Retest) in the year 2025
Ans: Yes, you can appear for improvement in Maths and Chemistry in 2026, since you passed them in 2025.
For Physics, if you got RT in 2025 and did not clear it, then you are not considered to have passed Physics.
So you cannot appear for improvement in Physics in 2026 until you first pass the RT exam.
Once you clear the RT in Physics, it will be treated as passed and only then eligible for improvement next year.

Ans: Your son's 96.86 percentile in JEE Main and OBC-NCL category puts him in a strong position for several NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs — but not for IITs, since admission to IITs depends on JEE Advanced, not JEE Main.

Dear Sir, Please advise on following queries:
1) IIIT Gwalior: what would be a good choice between 4 year EEE and 5 year MTech (IT / CSE)?
2) Would it be advisable to exit 5 year MTech (IT / CSE) after 4 years (some institutes allow this and a decision has to be taken in the 3rd year) and are such students allowed to take part in placements?
Ans: Unless you are deeply interested in electrical engineering or plan a specific career in core EEE, the 5-Year Integrated M.Tech in IT/CSE is generally the better choice in terms of placements, industry relevance, and future-proofing.
Yes, many institutes (including IIIT Gwalior) offer an exit option after 4 years with a B.Tech degree, usually in the 3rd year or at the start of the 4th year.

I got 94.5 with 82420 CRL and 25000 OBC-NCL rank in jee mains and I have delhi as my Home State..my advanced preparation isn't that great can u please guide me for some colleges..
Ans: JAC Delhi Colleges (Home State Quota)
You have a fair chance in:
NSUT (Non-CSE branches) – Possibly Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Civil.
DTU (Non-CSE branches) – Could get Mechanical or Production Engineering.
IIIT Delhi (non-CSE) – You may not get CS, but CSAM (CS + Applied Math) is a remote possibility if cutoffs drop.
IGDTUW (for girls only) – If you’re a girl, IT, ECE, or MAE are possible.
JoSAA – NITs (OBC-NCL Quota)
At your OBC rank ~25k, your chances in top NITs are slim, but these lower NITs and IIITs may be possible in core or newer branches:
NIT Mizoram / Meghalaya / Sikkim – ECE, Civil, Mechanical.
NIT Puducherry / Andhra Pradesh – Possibly Mechanical or EEE.
IIIT Una / IIIT Bhagalpur / IIIT Kalyani – ECE or CS (borderline).
IIIT Bhopal / IIIT Nagpur – ECE might be open.
