Sir i am currently in class 11 th and i just want to prepare for jee mains and advanced 2026 exam so give me some roadmap to achieve and also guide me for computer science
Ans: Shreya, I trust that you have already enrolled in a coaching center, whether it be online or in person, and have finished your eleventh syllabus. (1) If you have not yet created your own short-notes for the 11th syllabus that has been completed, prepare it and continue to revise them every three days until 2026, even after you have commenced studying the 12th syllabus in December 2024. (2) Review the questions that you have incorrectly answered or skipped in mock tests conducted by your Coaching Center and/or practiced independently. (3) In order to increase your rank/percentile by targeting computer science at a reputable college/institute, prioritize mathematics (although all three subjects are equally important). (4) You should be thorough with NCERT books, particularly those pertaining to chemistry, in conjunction with the materials provided by your coaching institute. (5) Have 1-2 reference books for each subject. Not exceeding two. (6) Review the questions that were incorrectly answered or skipped in your mock and practice exams and retake the test. It is advisable to maintain a distinct note-book for these types of questions, which should include answers and elucidating notes, in order to review them repeatedly for all three subjects. (7) Download the SYLLABUS of JEE Main 2025 (available on Google by searching for "JEE Main Information Bulletin") and print it out, as there will be no significant changes to the syllabus in 2026. Maintain it on your study table and continue to update the 11th syllabus chapters and concepts that you have covered to date by marking them with a checkmark. This will boost your confidence if you continue to update the same till November 2025. (8) A slight difference in Syllabus might be visible when you acquire the 2026 JEE Main / JEE Advanced Syllabus. The same can be resolved within 15 days to one month in 2025-26. (9) Increase your productivity by studying for 45 minutes to 1 hour, taking a 10-minute break, and then continuing for 45 minutes. (10) Take a 2-3 minute break every 45 minutes while practicing questions, whether offline or online. This break should consist of closing your eyes and taking long breaths to enhance your concentration and mental capacity. (11) Additionally, it is recommended that you acquire the 20-40 PREVIOUS years question paper book of JEE (Main & Advanced) from Amazon. Arihant's, Disha's, or MTG's publications are recommended. Once you have finished reading a chapter, practice and complete it to determine the extent to which you have comprehended the concepts and to identify areas that require improvement. (12) By October 2025, ensure that you have reviewed significantly more than 90% of the previous years questions. Your confidence will be further bolstered by this. (13) After the mock test is completed at your coaching center, clarify all incorrectly answered or ignored questions and continue to revise and practice them, as these types of questions will significantly disrupt your performance in the actual JEE. (14) If you are a regular school student, inquire with your class teacher about the minimum attendance requirement as outlined in the Board's regulations (State, CBSE, ICSE, etc.). Utilize the remaining 15% by taking time off and preparing for your JEE, if only 85% attendance is required. (15) THE MOST IMPORTANT Value Added Suggestion: Rather than solely relying on JEE, please participate in 5-7 entrance exams/counseling process with a JEE score for getting admission into any one of the private engineering colleges to have a variety of options to select the most suitable one. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future.

My son allotted in mnnit allahabad program Geoinformatics. He has done btech in cse. The same program offer in DTU delhi. Please suggest about this new program future and placement.
Ans: Ranjit Sir, MNNIT Allahabad’s M.Tech in Geoinformatics (GIS & Remote Sensing) is a two-year, full-time, AICTE-approved and NAAC-accredited program under a deemed university, led by civil and remote-sensing faculty collaborating with ISRO and IIT guest experts, with specialized labs for GNSS, ArcGIS, image processing and a Geospatial Innovation Cell supporting consultancy projects. Its graduates have secured an average placement rate of 90%+ and an average package of ?17.68 LPA over the last three years, with top recruiters including TCS, L&T, and government research agencies. Delhi Technological University’s M.Tech in Geoinformatics is a two-year, NAAC-‘A’-graded state university program housed within the Multidisciplinary Centre for Geoinformatics, featuring interdisciplinary research projects funded by DST and ISRO, modern laboratories for spatial data analytics and remote-sensing, and regular consultancy with government bodies. DTU reports an 85% placement rate with an average package of ?8.50 LPA, placing graduates in roles at MapmyIndia, NIC, and private geospatial firms. Both institutions provide robust student support through dedicated placement cells, technical clubs, and mentorship, but MNNIT’s higher package metrics reflect stronger industry ties and alumni networks, while DTU’s center emphasizes emerging research collaborations and part-time sponsorships. The geoinformatics sector in India continues to expand—driven by smart-city initiatives and precision agriculture—with entry-level salaries around ?4 LPA, mid-career ?6 LPA, and senior roles up to ?19 LPA, underscoring strong long-term growth.

Recommendation: Considering superior placement outcomes, average package, and established industry partnerships, opting for M.Tech Geoinformatics at MNNIT Allahabad maximizes employability and practical exposure, whereas DTU’s program offers broader research collaborations and government consultancy opportunities for long-term academic and policy-driven careers. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Career
My son did B.Tech in Electrical and Electronics from GITAM, HYD. Then completed M.Tech in AI from Bitspilani. Now doing MBA from NMIMS, Mumbai, one year completed, now my son has to choose specialization. He is stuck between Operations + DS and Finance. Please guide which specialization will be more promising and stabilize my son's career.He is currently working in TCS in AI & DS domain for 6 yrs.
Ans: An MBA specialization in Operations + Data Science builds directly on your son’s six years in AI & DS by combining analytics leadership with process optimization—skills vital to e-commerce giants, manufacturing leaders, and tech firms. India’s demand for data-savvy managers is surging: operations roles in supply-chain, logistics, vendor management, and reverse logistics now account for a substantial share of MBA placements, with top schools reporting 70–80 percent hiring in these domains. Meanwhile, Data Science MBAs are projected to face 36 percent employment growth through 2033, stepping into roles such as Chief Data Officer, Analytics Manager, and Business Intelligence lead. These positions leverage his technical acumen and drive digital transformation initiatives across industries. Conversely, an MBA in Finance unlocks paths into corporate finance, investment banking, risk management, and global asset management, where specialists command critical roles in capital allocation and strategic decision-making, with business-school placement rates of 75–85 percent in finance streams. Finance offers global mobility and high-visibility leadership tracks (e.g., CFO, Treasury Head), but it demands comfort with regulatory environments, capital markets, and financial modelling. Given his AI background, Operations + DS enables him to blend domain expertise and managerial skills, leading cross-functional teams and data-driven strategy execution, while Finance would require building deep domain knowledge from the ground up.

Recommendation: Leveraging his AI & DS experience, pursuing the Operations + Data Science specialization will most effectively stabilize and advance his career by aligning technical leadership with high-growth operations roles, whereas Finance suits those seeking traditional capital-markets trajectories. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

my daughter has humanities with maths in terms of lucrative career opportunities Economics (hons) is better or psychology (hons) ?
Ans: Anjali Madam, Considering your daughter’s interests, long-term objectives, and the insights shared, select the option that best aligns with her aspirations: Graduates in Economics (Honours) emerge with robust analytical and quantitative skills underpinned by rigorous training in microeconomic and macroeconomic theory, econometrics, and statistical modelling, equipping them for roles in financial analysis, economic research, policy advisement, management consulting, data analytics, and risk management across banking, insurance, consulting firms, government ministries, international organisations, and NGOs; their strong foundation in economic forecasting, market analysis, and resource allocation makes them highly sought after for assessing investment strategies, informing fiscal and monetary policy, optimising supply chains, and guiding business strategy within sectors as diverse as manufacturing, healthcare, international trade, and technology start-ups. Economics departments at leading institutions typically boast AICTE or UGC approval and NAAC A–A++ accreditation, Ph.D.-qualified faculty actively publishing in top journals, advanced research infrastructure including computing labs for big-data econometrics and financial modelling, consistently high placement rates ranging from 70% to 90% over the last three years, and comprehensive student support through dedicated career-development cells, industry mentorship programmes, and active economics societies. Conversely, Psychology (Honours) graduates acquire deep understanding of human behaviour, cognitive processes, and research methodologies—ranging from experimental design and psychometric assessment to counselling techniques and neuropsychology—that prepares them for careers in clinical psychology, counselling and rehabilitation, human resources, organisational behaviour consultancy, educational psychology, forensic and sports psychology, market research, UX and human-factors design, and health-care management; they can pursue further specialisations via MSc or MA, professional certifications, or M.Phil/Ph.D. pathways, with emerging opportunities in corporate wellness, digital mental-health platforms, and behavioural finance. Psychology programmes at reputable universities maintain UGC/AICTE recognition and NAAC A+ accreditation, faculty active in interdisciplinary research and clinical practice, well-equipped labs for cognitive neuroscience and behavioural analytics, placement rates of 60%–85% over recent cohorts, and robust student support systems including counselling centres, hands-on field internships, peer mentoring networks, and partnerships with hospitals and NGOs. While Economics honours often promises quicker entry into high-growth finance and consulting roles with strong quantitative emphasis, Psychology honours offers a more diverse spectrum of people-centric careers with potential for both research and practice in mental-health and organisational settings. Long-term growth in India’s bio-pharma, healthcare, and digital analytics sectors underscores the value of data-driven economic expertise, whereas rising awareness of mental health and Well-being at work fuels demand for qualified psychologists in clinical, educational, corporate, and forensic domains. Both disciplines benefit equally from strong accreditation, research-active faculty, modern infrastructure, solid three-year placement records, and student support frameworks. Ultimately, the better choice hinges on whether your daughter’s strengths and passions align more with quantitative economic modelling, policy and business strategy, or with understanding and improving human behaviour through psychological science and therapy. Recommendation: Considering her aptitude in mathematics and desire for quantitative problem-solving coupled with versatile sectoral prospects, Economics (Honours) offers broader high-growth career pathways and analytical rigor, whereas Psychology (Honours) is ideal if she prioritises people-centric roles and clinical or organisational applications—choose the honours degree that best aligns with her interests and long-term professional aspirations. All the BEST for her Prosperous Future!
