sir i am commerce gratuate prepared 2 years for CA coul'd not succeed what are the diff career op for me
Ans: Shri, Some basic reasons for failing CA exams include poor time management, inadequate conceptual clarity, poor presentation skills, neglecting revision, and lack of practice with mock exams. To improve, create a realistic study schedule, focus on crucial topics, practice time-bound mock tests, and use reference books and ICAI study materials. Practice structured answers and follow ICAI language to align with exam expectations. Avoid rote learning and focus on understanding the "why" and "how" behind concepts. Take multiple mock tests and review performance critically to identify weak areas. Stay motivated by setting short-term goals and rewarding yourself for achieving them.

Despite not clearing the CA exams, there are numerous fulfilling career paths for commerce graduates. Some of these include the following, out of which you can choose the most suitable for you and you are interested in:

Financial Analyst/Investment Banking involves financial analysis, research, and dealing with securities, stocks, and bonds. Tax Consultant/Tax Advisor offers tax planning, compliance, and advisory services. Financial Planner/Wealth Manager helps manage finances and long-term wealth goals. MBA can lead to leadership roles in marketing, HR, finance, operations, and entrepreneurship. Banking and Insurance offers stability and growth opportunities. Entrepreneurship requires strong initiative and risk tolerance. Accounting and Audit roles enhance job prospects globally. Digital Marketing, Data Analytics, Human Resources, Stock Market Trading, Corporate Law, and Public Sector Jobs offer job security, stability, and benefits.

All the BEST for your Prosperous Future.

My daughter had 84.5 percentile in JEE and 90 percent in class 12 cbse exams. She has decided to go for Electrical Engineering from Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology. I just wanted to confirm whether it is a right decision or not? I learned that Electrical Engineering is tougher than other branch, is this true? After doing B. Tech from TIET whether she will have job opportunities?
Ans: Thapar Institute’s four-year B.Tech in Electrical Engineering is NBA-aligned and delivered by predominantly PhD-qualified faculty across modern power-electronics, renewable-energy, control-systems and signal-processing labs, with mandatory industry internships, active research projects and strong academic collaborations in power systems and smart grids. Electrical Engineering often involves more abstract mathematics and physics than many branches—covering electromagnetics, circuit theory, control theory and signal processing—which students commonly perceive as more challenging than Mechanical or Civil Engineering due to its theoretical rigor and conceptual complexity. TIET’s dedicated placement cell achieved an 83% overall UG placement rate in 2023 with 334 recruiters visiting campus, and EE students recorded approximately 90% placement consistency over the last three years through roles in power, automation and embedded systems. Graduates benefit from TIET’s strong industry MoUs, alumni network and annual recruitment drives by firms such as Siemens, ABB, Schneider Electric and L&T, ensuring ample job opportunities post-graduation.

For a robust, research-integrated curriculum and strong campus recruitment in core and emerging electrical domains, the recommendation is to pursue B.Tech Electrical Engineering at TIET, embracing its rigorous training and proven employability pathways. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Sir my daughter has got admission in Bharati Vidyapeeth deemed University Pune Btech CS and also she is getting admission in marathwada mitra mandal college of engineering Pune for mechanical and electrical branches. Also there is a high probability to get admission in G H Raisoni college of engineering, Wagholi, Pune for CSE AI AND ML, CSE CYBERSECURITY, CSE DATA SCIENCE and CSE AI through MHT CET where she being a girl student we don't have to pay tution fees and in BVDU where she has secured admission for CS we have to pay 2.5lacs every year .

Ans: Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed University’s B.Tech Computer Science program is A+ NAAC- and NBA-accredited, delivered by PhD-qualified faculty in AI/ML, software systems and networks labs, and backed by industry MoUs and an active innovation council; however, its ?2.5 LPA tuition presents a significant financial outlay. Marathwada Mitra Mandal College of Engineering offers NBA-accredited Mechanical and Electrical streams with well-equipped CAD/CAM, thermal and power labs, PhD-faculty mentorship, skill-development programs and a strong 75+ recruiter network for an overall ?4.84 L total fee.

For zero tuition fees, specialized CSE tracks and robust internship-to-placement pipelines, recommendation is G H Raisoni College of Engineering Pune (CSE AI & ML). Next, recommendation is Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed University Pune (B.Tech CS) for its premier accreditation and research ecosystem, and lastly Marathwada Mitra Mandal’s College of Engineering Pune (Mechanical/Electrical) for versatile engineering foundations and affordable fees.
