Ans: For Fall 2026, it’s too early to predict specific political changes in the U.S. The current environment still welcomes international students, and universities remain largely focused on merit and fit rather than politics. If your daughter’s profile is strong, she can plan and prepare now without waiting—being ready early is always an advantage.

Hello. I am currently a student in Amity Noida with a 100 percent scholarship in BTECH BIOTECHNOLOGY course. I have been alloted ICAR-IVRI izatnagar, Bareilly for the same course. The fees is not a problem anyway. My ultimate goal is to go abroad for foreign studies and work. I already have spent 2 months in AMITY and have started adapting to the atmosphere, the study, the people and my hobbies. I live in Delhi. I will have to shift to Bareilly for IVRI, which will take me time to adjust with, being away from close people and it will temporarily take a toll on my gym training. I wanted to ask if going to amity or IVRI matter when I am applying abroad? Will being in Amity Noida, detoriate my chances of going abroad? Should I let go the chance of IVRI or will I regret it heavily? Is staying in Amity fine or should I go to IVRI for the name? The course alloted in IVRI is also Btech Biotechnology. A response would be truly appreciated.
Ans: Both Amity Noida and ICAR-IVRI offer BTech Biotechnology, so academically you’ll be fine either way. For studying abroad, admissions focus more on your grades, projects, research, and profile than the exact college name. Since you’ve already started settling in at Amity and it’s close to home, staying there won’t hurt your future plans. IVRI has a strong reputation, but moving and adjusting could temporarily affect your well-being and routines. If comfort, stability, and continued growth matter to you now, staying at Amity is perfectly reasonable—you won’t be at a disadvantage for abroad opportunities.

HELLO Sir . I am btech first year student . I have problem of anxiety. And I am bad at handling pressure.I get intense anxiety and panic when I feel academic pressure. I’d like to learn how to manage it.. IT get so worse that that mind got stuck that I can't able to think.
Ans: It’s good that you’ve recognized the issue early. Anxiety under pressure is common, especially in the first year. Start by breaking tasks into smaller goals, practicing regular breathing or mindfulness exercises, and maintaining a balanced routine with rest and physical activity. If it feels overwhelming, do consult a counselor or therapist—they can guide you with coping techniques and help you build resilience over time.

He gave me three option 1.To Join Masters
2. To Join Job 3. To Start a Business which one is the best for future Kindly help me in this regard which one is best at this stage?
Ans: At this stage, if your son is clear about his career goals and the master’s aligns with his long-term plan, it’s worth pursuing despite the delay—education is a lasting investment. However, if financial strain is a major concern, he can work for 1–2 years, gain experience, and reapply later with better clarity and stability. Starting a business should be considered only after gaining sufficient industry exposure.

Ans: I understand this is a very difficult phase. At 62, focus on stabilizing essentials first—reduce liabilities through structured repayment or settlement, and seek professional financial counseling. Explore part-time consulting or mentoring in your field to create steady income. Most importantly, safeguard your children’s education; there are scholarships and low-interest education loans that can ease the burden while you rebuild gradually.

Ans: Your daughter has a strong academic and professional profile — solid technical base, research exposure, and proven industry experience with global exposure. An MS in Robotics is a natural next step for her, especially with her background in instrumentation, AI/ML, and control systems.
Her shortlisted universities are all excellent. Georgia Tech, Purdue, and UMich are top choices for Robotics, while ASU and NEU are strong for applied and industry-focused programs. Cornell is highly competitive but worth applying to.
She should apply to a mix of these—2 dream (like Georgia Tech, Cornell), 2 target (Purdue, UMich), and 2 safe (ASU, NEU). Given her profile and IELTS 8, she has a very good chance of admission. I’d strongly encourage her to go ahead with it.

Hi sir,
I have completed Diploma in Automobile and Btech thru IME in Mechanical. And working in Construction industry for past 19 years. Want to pursue futher education to support career growth or other opportunities.
Kindly suggest
Ans: That’s great to hear. You already have a strong technical base and good work experience.
Here are a few good directions you could consider:
MBA in Project Management or Construction Management – This is one of the most valuable choices. It’ll help you move into leadership or senior management roles in construction, infrastructure, or operations. Institutes like NICMAR, RICS School of Built Environment, or even executive MBAs from IIMs are worth exploring.
Postgraduate Diploma in Construction Management or Contract Management – Shorter programs (1 year) that add strong value to your current profile and are less demanding time-wise.
MTech in Industrial or Structural Engineering – If you want to stay on the technical side, this will deepen your mechanical background while connecting it to construction applications.
International options – You can also look at part-time or online master’s programs (like MSc in Construction Project Management or Engineering Management) from universities in the UK, Canada, or Australia.

Ans: Both CA and Engineering have strong career prospects — it depends on your interest and skills.
If you’re good with numbers, analysis, and finance, CA offers stability and growth in accounting, auditing, or corporate finance.
If you enjoy problem-solving, design, and technology, Engineering has wide opportunities in manufacturing, IT, infrastructure, and emerging fields like AI and renewable energy.

My son wish to apply engineering after clearing cbse 12 exam from india in NUS singapore? How he can get the admission and what will be the fees from yr 2026-27 for engineering in NUS
Ans: Meet high-school criteria
o He needs “good passes in five subjects including English” under Indian Standard 12 to apply.
o Strong performance in Math, Physics, etc., will help his engineering application.
o Sometimes extra assessment or interviews are required.
Strong grades + holistic profile
o Since many candidates are excellent, he should have top marks and good extracurriculars / projects.
o NUS gives an “Indicative Grade Profile” — for engineering, past cohorts show they admit students with BBB/C up to AAA/A in A-Levels.
o As Indian board student, his board marks and school reputation will matter.
o Also, English proficiency (if required) and solid statements or reference letters.
Apply through NUS’s international admission process
o He must submit his 12th (or predicted) results by the deadlines.
o Follow NUS’s application portal for international students.
o Watch out for deadlines, document verification, etc.
Estimated fees for engineering (2026-27)
Expect around S$18,000 to S$40,000 per year for engineering as an international student (depending on program and subsidy). The precise, up-to-date figure will always be found on NUS’s official website.

Ans: With 481 marks in OBC-NCL, you do stand a fair chance for BDS seats in some government colleges through state quota, though it may be a bit tough under the All India Quota. For BVSc, chances are moderate but vary a lot by state cut-offs. I’d suggest you keep options open, check both state and all India counseling, and also keep private/ deemed universities as a backup.

Hi, my son Susmit has passed his 12th Exam ( Science ) in 2025 with 90% marks from CBSE Board. He did score 97% in his 10th Exam from ICSE Board in 2023 as well. Now, he has taken an admission in St Xavier's College, Kolkata in B.Sc Computer Science & Research. This is 4 years course as per new National Educational Policy of the Central Government. After completion of this course he wants to pursue Masters either M Tech or M. Sc through GATE Exam or JEM Exam and he will choose his favorite topic on which he will do his PHD in abroad. This is his thought and plan. Now, I need your understanding from your expert opinion that whether is he on track or will you suggest something different what he thinks now! His ultimate aim to make and grow his career with computer science in product companies like Google, Facebook, Microsoft etc. Another thought is there in his mind to make his career in academic line like teaching in foreign universities like Stanford, Cambridge, Oxford etc. Now, looking for your valuable suggestions towards my son's career build....
Ans: He’s definitely on the right track. Getting into St. Xavier’s for Computer Science is a good start. If he maintains strong academics, builds good coding and research skills, and takes part in internships or projects, he’ll open doors to both product companies and higher studies.
For product companies like Google or Microsoft, practical skills, problem-solving ability, and internships will matter as much as marks. For an academic career, research exposure, publishing papers, and eventually a strong master’s and PhD will be key.
Right now, he doesn’t need to decide between industry and academics—both paths are still open. My advice would be: keep grades strong, learn programming beyond the syllabus, do research or internships every summer, and prepare step-by-step for GATE, JEM, or GRE depending on where he wants to apply later. This way, whether he chooses industry or teaching, he’ll be ready.

Since you already explored GATE and SSC/Banking, first ask yourself: do you enjoy engineering subjects or government administration roles? If not private IT, you can look at PSU jobs (through GATE), research fellowships, or higher studies (M.Tech/MBA/MS abroad). The key is clarity—choose one exam and stick to it instead of preparing for many.

Ans: It’s great that your daughter has completed her BE and MTech. Since she has no work experience yet, she can start with entry-level roles in IT, research, or teaching. If she is interested in teaching, exams like NET or SET will be important. For government research/teaching roles, GATE scores are also valuable. The startup offer of 8 LPA is actually a decent start, but if she wants better opportunities, she should focus on skill certifications, research projects, and applying to universities/colleges as a lecturer.

I'm 25 years old and have completed post graduation in Applied Psychology. Thought if I wouldn't clear Mphil at one go, I would start preparing for competitive exams. Within this duration the government circular was out of discontinuing Mphil. And I couldn't clear state PCS as well in my first attempt. I do not have the same kind of energy or determination as I had during initial one year. All I do is wake up, complete my every day targets. I am not very hopeful about my career prospects , neither certain. I do not know what's life has in store for me. I have anger displacement on people who live around, specially my parents and sibling. By the time I would end up somewhere, the happiness or excitement would not be there. I have started embracing spirituality. Joined activity but nothing really helped.
Ans: It sounds like you’ve been carrying a lot of pressure, setbacks, and uncertainty all at once. It’s natural to feel drained after putting in so much effort and not seeing the results you hoped for. Right now, instead of thinking too far ahead, focus on regaining balance — physically, mentally, and emotionally. Small, consistent steps like setting realistic goals, talking openly with someone you trust, or seeking a mentor/therapist can ease the burden.
Your career path doesn’t have to be a straight line — many people pivot, take pauses, and still build meaningful work. It may help to explore applied psychology roles outside academia (like HR, counseling, NGOs, corporates) while you decide on exams. Most importantly, give yourself permission to slow down without guilt — you’re not “falling behind,” you’re finding your pace.

Actually he is a usa citizen , although he has been in India for past 15 years and is completing his 12th grade through cbse board in India itself. So I wanted to know about eligibility in dasa quota for foreign nationals in jee mains and foreign nationals quota in jee advance.
Ans: Since your son is a US citizen, he will be considered an NRI/OCI/Foreign National for admissions.
JEE Main (DASA Quota): Under DASA, foreign nationals, NRIs, and OCIs can apply for NITs, IIITs, and other centrally funded institutes. Admission is based on JEE Main rank (SAT is no longer used). Your son will be eligible under this quota.
JEE Advanced (Foreign National Quota): For IITs, there is a separate foreign nationals quota. He can appear for JEE Advanced as a US citizen, provided he qualifies JEE Main cut-off. Seats are supernumerary (extra) for foreign nationals.
He can apply through DASA in NITs/IIITs and through foreign nationals quota in IITs, while completing CBSE in India does not affect his eligibility.

What bachelors degree should i choose if my main goal in getting into a top university abroad for mfin
1) Bsc economics from any indian college like gipe ferguson
2) bsc in economics and finance from university of London distance independent learning program
Ans: If your main aim is to get into a top MFin program abroad, option 1 is better. A full-time degree from a recognized Indian university carries more weight than a distance program, because admissions teams value classroom learning, peer interaction, and faculty exposure. The London distance degree can work, but it won’t give you the same credibility, academic guidance, or recommendation letters that a regular college can. You can always build finance exposure through internships and certifications alongside your BSc Economics.

Hi Karan. My daughter (21 yo), is currently doing her BSC AI (honors) from an institute in India. She did her 11th and 12th in Commerce hence had to take BSC AI as she could not do BTech. NMIMS is shutting down this course from the next year as it is not getting good admissions numbers. Now we are in a fix. Their placement and intern is also not good (they are not helping there). With all the issues in US and the job market there, we are not keen in sending her to US for her masters. Is Australia or Finland (suggested by some of our friends) a good option to look at? or should she do 1-2 years of work here and then go in 2028 for the masters in US? Please help
Ans: Three good paths:
A) Finish BSc AI, build applied portfolio (ML ops, data engineering, GenAI apps), then Master’s in Australia (good applied programs; strong post-study work rights).
B) Finland has research-oriented CS/AI, lower tuition options, but English-taught + scholarship competition is stiff; great if she likes research culture and can handle winters + smaller job market.
C) Work 1–2 years in India, then MS in US (2028) once markets stabilize—pick data/AI systems tracks.
Given placements are weak now, I’d choose A or C depending on finances; A if she wants to go right away and build global experience; C if you prefer stronger ROI with work-ex.

Sir my son got Jntu integrated in computer science software with sweeden ms ,is it good
Ans: These integrated programs can be good if the partner university is reputable, credits are transparent, costs for the MS year(s) are clear, and visa pathways are realistic. Verify: named Swedish partner, dual-degree terms, internship support, and placement history of earlier cohorts. If all check out, it’s a safe yes; otherwise prefer a standard B.Tech + independent MS for flexibility.

My daughter has got AIML in Reva University....how are the faculty, live projects and internships....how about computer lab infrastructure?
Ans: REVA has an improving tech ecosystem; outcomes are student-driven. Ask specifically: faculty profiles (recent publications/industry), capstone/industry labs, live projects with MoUs, hackathon support, 3rd-year internships. If these are robust and you see product-company recruiters, AIML is fine; if not, choose CSE core where possible and self-build ML via courses + projects.

My son got admitted in ms in cybersecurity Northeastern university arlington campus for fall intake but as per circumstances he doesn't got visa approval. But we have got backup plan already since last year he has completed 1st year ms in digital forensic science and cyber security. Almost done 1 year and now 6 month to study and 6 month of internship. I want suggestions for what to do ?? Should he complete here it or go for reapply for visa for January intake 2026 ?
Ans: Complete the current MS (with internship) to secure a strong fallback + experience. Reapply to NEU only if you can materially strengthen your profile (clear ties to India, better finances, coherent study plan linking forensics ↔ cybersecurity, improved travel history). With 6 months study + 6 months internship upcoming, finishing first increases employability; consider Spring 2026 only if the academic/brand upgrade is significant.

My daughter has been pursuing 5 year LLB. in WBNUJS from this year. What is her career prospect?
Ans: Excellent brand for corporate law, litigation, policy. Encourage moots, research papers, internships every break (tier-1 law firms, chambers, in-house) by Year-2, build a specialisation (corporate/M&A, tech, IP, arbitration) by Year-4, and aim for a PPO from the 7th/8th sem internship. NUJS alumni network is a major asset—leverage it early.

My sister , her husband and her son have recently obtained Canada PR
Her son is studying PCM in india currently
He is very intelligent and has great aptitude for maths and sciences , has won olympiads also and we are quite hopeful that he can do very well in jee
She is confused whether to let him complete his 11th , 12th in India and go for jee or just move to Canada and him persue his education in Canada only
What should be better for him? .Also pls give some idea about how are the prospects for indian students in Canada these days.
Ans: If he’s truly competitive for JEE top ranks, staying in India for 11–12 + JEE can unlock IIT/ISI/CMI—world-class for math/CS. Moving to Canada gives breadth, extracurriculars, Canadian residency advantages for university admissions but less structured JEE-style rigor. A hybrid: finish 11–12 in India, attempt Olympiads/KVPY-style prep (now INMO/IOQM equivalents), then undergrad in India (IIT) or top Canada/US. If relocating is non-negotiable, invest in contest math (AoPS), AP/IB HL Math, CS projects, and target Waterloo/Toronto/UBC.

Dear Sir, my son is into Politechnic at 3rd year in CS program, he plans for his graduation/ B-Tech in Chinese University with Scholarship, please advise..
Ans: China has strong CS/AI programs but language and current visa/policy dynamics matter. Scholarships (CSC/university) exist but are competitive and often require HSK (Chinese proficiency) or English-track eligibility. Consider also India lateral entry, or EU (Germany/Finland) English-taught CS where costs can be comparable and pathways are clearer.

I'm a wbjee aspirant ,I secured 21983 in gmr and at tfw quota I have rank of 4596 can secure a good college with branch like CSE,ECE,EE. Please provide me guide.
Ans: Use TFW rank for tuition waiver eligibility at participating colleges—this can open better branches within budget. Strategy: lock best branch-in-best-college (often IT/ECE) via TFW first; keep CSE as upgrade if available in later rounds. Focus on Kolkata/private options with strong labs and coding clubs.

Ans: At ~94.16, SIES (Navi Mumbai) Cyber is a solid seat. In institutional rounds, also watch Atharva, Xavier (XIE), Vidyalankar, VIT Pune (stretch), PCCOE Pax (stretch), DY Patil (various campuses), APSIT—availability varies. If core CSE/IT at a similar or better brand opens, consider switching; otherwise keep SIES Cyber and add CS fundamentals alongside security.

Sir my son got admitted into ITER (CSE), he has GMR 27108 in WBJEEE, general and non-domicile. Would you recommend if he can get better options in Bengal? Thanks!
Ans: ITER has reasonable placements for CSE, but if you can secure Kolkata-cluster private colleges (IEM/HIT/TMSL) via institutional/spot rounds, that’s often an upgrade in network and internship access. If not, stay with ITER CSE and focus on a project-heavy resume from Year-1, plus 2 summer internships by end of 2nd year.

Hello,
I've already taken admission in NIET Greater Noida in CSE(IOT), now my wbjee result has come, my rank is 23,409 with bihar domicile in general.Should I continue with NIET or choose any college in wbjee?
Ans: With ~23k GMR, options in WBJEE may include private colleges (non-Kolkata core CSE/IT or Kolkata CSE-allied). If NIET already offers a decent ecosystem, switch only if you get a clear upgrade (Kolkata network, stronger recruiters, better coding culture). If WB choice is TMSL/HIT/IEM-level, consider moving; otherwise, continue at NIET and maximise internships + projects.

Sir please tell that if I get admission in college other than iit or not and the I give 2026 jee mains and adv and clear it
Then will I be able to get admission in it??
Ans: Yes, you can study at another college and re-attempt JEE while meeting age/attempt limits. Keep attendance just enough, but don’t risk year back. If you convert IIT later, you can withdraw and join; credits typically don’t transfer. Balance prep with a realistic schedule or take an official drop only if you have a solid plan.

I am currently doing my first year in BSc Mathematics Hons from patliputra University ,Bihar,And wish to pursue Bachelor of Science in Computer Science in Germany.So can i do it because the course that i am doing is different from what i want to pursue
Ans: Yes, possible. Germany values subject readiness; apply to Studienkolleg/T-course or directly to Bachelor CS if your 12th + current credits meet equivalence. Strengthen with calculus, linear algebra, discrete math, programming (Python/Java), data structures, German A2–B1, and take standardized proofs of readiness (e.g., TestAS, where applicable). Shortlist TU9/non-TU universities; check APS certificate and blocked account requirements early.

"Hello sir, my sister has scored 70% in CBSE board exams. She will appear for JEE Mains next year, but she cannot participate in JoSAA counselling. She wants to take admission in IGDTUW. So sir, can you please tell me the JEE Mains cutoff for IGDTUW for Outside Delhi General Category?"
Ans: IGDTUW admissions are via JAC Delhi using JEE Main. For Outside-Delhi General, CSE is highly competitive; ECE/IT are slightly more accessible. As a rule of thumb, aim for a JEE Main percentile ≥97–98 for CSE, slightly lower for IT/ECE. Always verify the year’s opening/closing ranks on JAC’s official report when it’s released.

Thanks sir,
“But sir, can you give some guidance on what to do?”
Ans: Your sister should now focus fully on JEE Main preparation—aiming for a 97–98+ percentile for CSE and slightly lower for IT/ECE. She should practice mock tests regularly, strengthen weak areas, and stay updated with JAC Delhi cutoffs. As a backup, also apply to good colleges in Delhi NCR like DTU, NSUT, IIIT Delhi, and reputed private universities.

Sir, good evening. I’m Jefry Einstein from Tamil Nadu. I have been allotted a BS-MS seat at IISER Tirupati in Round 5 counselling. Currently, I am preparing as a first-year JEE dropper, as the counselling process concluded too late for me to join immediately. Now that I have secured a seat, I am very interested in pursuing research in physics. Could you please guide me or suggest how I should proceed? Which option would be better: continuing as a JEE dropper or joining IISER Tirupati? Also, how can I check if I have specifically got admission to the BS-MS Physics program at IISER Tirupati?
Ans: If your end goal is physics research, IISER is designed for that: research exposure from Year-1, flexible coursework, funded summer projects, and strong PhD pipelines. In almost all cases, I advise joining IISER now rather than risking a drop year. To confirm your exact stream, check your offer letter + candidate portal (IISERs often admit to BS-MS first and you stream into Physics after common core). Start early with math methods, computational physics (Python), and find a lab by Semester-2.

Hello sir , I'm getting IIIT MANIPUR cse ( ai & ds ) in csab round 3 . Can you tell me the placement of iiit manipur and how would be the collge and faculties. Should it worth to give 17 lakhs in iiit manipur . Although I have na alternative option through cee I'm getting barak valley engineering college in electronic and telecommunications. Where should I go
Ans: Pick program quality + brand + peer group over proximity. IIIT > state/regionals in most CS outcomes due to institute tag and central funding; however, IIIT Manipur is younger with a smaller recruiter base—great for motivated students who’ll build profiles (projects, open source, internships). If finances are okay, I’d still lean IIIT Manipur (AI&DS) for long-term value in software/data, provided you’re ready to hustle for internships; EC at BVEC makes sense only if budget is tight and you truly prefer electronics.

My son's GMR is 3281 in WBJEE under general category. He is interested in CSE only. As per his rank in WBJEE which colleges you prefer to get better exposure as well as placement. We can afford private College also. Your suggestion will be an immense help to us.
Ans: At ~3.3k GMR, target strong Kolkata-region private options first for exposure + placements: IEM (IEM/UEM group), Heritage Institute of Technology (HIT), Techno Main Salt Lake (TMSL), Haldia Institute of Technology (HIT-Haldia). Among government colleges, KGEC (Kalyani) and JGEC (Jalpaiguri) may be competitive for CSE but could be tight; consider CSE-allied (IT/AI/DS) in these if pure CSE is unavailable. Prioritise institutes with active coding culture, product-company recruiters, and strong alumni in Kolkata/BLR. Order picks by: (1) CSE core > (2) IT > (3) AI/DS, and prefer campuses with 6–8 month internships and Tier-1 recruiters.

Hello . I have done my bachelor's in physiotherapy in India. I am currently in my last year. I am interested in doing my masters but am confused as to do it in India or abroad. And how to select the best college / university.
Ans: Since you’re finishing your Bachelor’s in Physiotherapy, here’s how you can think about your Master’s:
• In India – Options like Manipal, SRM, Jamia Hamdard, CMC Vellore are reputed. Doing it here is more affordable and recognized for clinical practice in India.
• Abroad – Countries like Australia, UK, Canada are popular for physiotherapy because of advanced curriculum, research, and better career prospects. It’s more expensive, but job opportunities and global exposure are stronger.
How to select a college/university:
1. Check specialization (neuro, cardio, sports, musculoskeletal, etc.) that matches your interest.
2. Look at faculty, hospital tie-ups, and clinical training.
3. Compare placement/licensing opportunities if you plan to work abroad.
If your goal is to practice and settle abroad, go for Master’s overseas. If you want to build a career mainly in India, a top Indian institute is sufficient.
