New Job as a Single 60 Year Old with 40+ Years of Power Generation Experience?

Ans: Hello Anitha
GATE is a very common route that most students follow. However, if you are financially stable and seeking more exposure and job placement opportunities, consider pursuing an MS program in a preferred country. Reasons for doing an MS abroad include exposure to advanced labs, global research, and international work culture. Finally, consider an MS abroad only if your son is academically strong, comfortable with new environments and languages, and aiming for a global career or PhD.
Good luck!

Ans: Hello Ashutosh Singh.
Go for CSE in the best available GFTI/Central Univ, or drop only if confident of a big improvement. Taking a drop is always a risky step. The failure rate is more compared to the success rate. The final decision will be yours.
Good luck!

Ans: Siliguri Institute of Technology is AICTE-approved, MAKAUT-affiliated and NAAC B-accredited. Both CSE and ECE are led by PhD-qualified faculty with industry-linked curricula. CSE offers specialized computing labs (AI/ML, cybersecurity, programming) and reports 70–80% placement over the past three years with recruiters like Microsoft, Accenture, Capgemini and TCS. ECE boasts well-equipped DSP, VLSI, microprocessor, communication and analog electronics labs, with 65–75% campus placements, core recruiters including Capgemini, Ericsson, TCS and Virtusa, and regular industry internships. Both departments organize workshops, guest lectures and soft-skill sessions via the placement cell to enhance employability.

Recommendation: Opt for CSE if you seek broader software and data-science roles, higher placement consistency (70–80%), and strong computing lab exposure. Choose ECE if your interests lie in core electronics, VLSI and communication hardware, and you’re comfortable with slightly lower placement rates (65–75%) for specialized hardware engineering opportunities. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: first thing - there is no such scheme of QIB, this is a pure fraud. plz connect with cyber crime and file a complaint.

Ans: Hello Sabyasachi.
Here is the pointwise reply to your question: (1) Chances for ECE at NIT Rourkela/Warangal in Round 6 or CSAB seem very slim (2) IIIT Allahabad, meanwhile, is strong academically, especially in core faculties and placements, but NITs generally have a broader engineering ecosystem and alumni network. (3) Chances of upgrading to NIT Warangal/Rourkela ECE seem to be challenging. Suggesting- IIIT Allahabad (ECE) is a solid, competitive choice. The final decision will be yours.
Good luck!

Ans: Prashant Sir, PES University’s Ring Road Campus CSE program is NBA- and NAAC-accredited, taught by PhD-qualified faculty, and supported by advanced computing, AI/ML, and networking labs. It recorded an 82.97% placement rate in 2023 with a median package of ?8 LPA and an average of ?8 LPA–?12 LPA, engaging 350+ recruiters including Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Cisco, and Cisco. Among IIITs in your son’s rank range, IIIT Nagpur leads with an 88.5% placement rate, average package ?13.11 LPA, median ?11 LPA, and participation from 200+ recruiters like Adobe and Accenture. IIIT Kalyani follows with an 89.33% placement rate and average package ?10.72 LPA. IIIT Dharwad has a 66%–78% placement rate, average ?10 LPA, and strong industry tie-ups via its Career Guidance Cell. IIIT Kottayam achieved an 83% placement rate in 2024, average ?12.66 LPA with 86 recruiters including Bosch and Infosys. IIIT Bhubaneswar reports a 79% placement rate, CSE average package ?9 LPA and median ?10 LPA across 42 recruiters like Amazon and Capgemini. IIIT Raichur’s emerging 68.8% placement rate with average ?18 LPA and median ?15 LPA positions it as a growing option. All IIITs are Institutes of National Importance, offering robust labs, research centers, student clubs, and industry internships under PPP models.

Final Recommendation: Select IIIT Nagpur CSE for its superior 88.5% placement rate, ?13.11 LPA average package, and diversified recruiter pool. Next, consider IIIT Kalyani CSE & DS for its 89.33% placements and solid PPP backing. Third is IIIT Dharwad CSE, offering a balanced ?10 LPA average, followed by IIIT Kottayam AI & DS for ?12.66 LPA average. Choose PES University CSE only if private-university infrastructure and near-100% placements outweigh the specialized focus of IIITs; IIIT Bhubaneswar CSE and IIIT Raichur CSE serve as reliable backups. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
