I have 15 years of experience in physical security and now I wanted to transition into it industry like SDE or web development. Is it possible or wise decision.
Ans: If you are dedicated and take the right steps, you can move from physical security to IT, like software development engineering (SDE) or web development. It seems like a big change, but your experience in physical security has taught you useful skills like problem-solving, attention to detail, and risk evaluation that you can use in IT jobs.

It is important to know that making this kind of change will take time and work. You must learn new technical skills like programming languages, software development methods, and web development tools. To get the necessary skills, it would help to look into appropriate education, like online certificates, diplomas, boot camps, or formal degrees.

Additionally, getting real-world experience through personal projects, internships, or entry-level jobs in the IT field can boost your credentials and assist you in making a smooth shift. It can also be helpful to network with people who work in the same area, look for mentors, and keep up with business changes.

Ultimately, whether or not switching to the IT field is smart depends on how much you love technology, how willing you are to learn, and what your long-term job goals are. If you want to work in software development or web development and are ready to put in the time and effort to learn the skills you need, it can be a very worthwhile and satisfying move.

Sir, my son is getting Mechanical and aerospace engineering in PEC, IT in UIET Chandigarh and CSE in CCET Chandigarh. Please suggest which would be the better option. He has Chandigarh state quota ( General Category)
Ans: Punjab Engineering College (Deemed-to-be University), Chandigarh offers a four-year B.Tech in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering on its verdant 120-acre campus, featuring advanced workshops, aerodynamics and solid-mechanics labs, and a 1:8 faculty-student ratio of predominantly PhD holders. Placement rates for Mechanical Engineering have been 74%, 76% and 47% over the last three years, while Aerospace hovered around 47%, 50% and 42%. University Institute of Engineering & Technology, Panjab University, Chandigarh provides a four-year B.E. in Information Technology with CBCS-based curriculum, specialized IT labs and NAAC A+ accreditation, recording placement rates of 80%, 78.4% and 66.3%. Chandigarh College of Engineering & Technology, Sector 26, Chandigarh offers a four-year B.E. in Computer Science & Engineering with NBA accreditation, modern computing facilities and strong industry ties, achieving CSE placement rates of 78.9%, 69% and 62% over recent years.

Recommendation: Prioritize UIET Chandigarh IT for its consistently strong placement momentum, robust infrastructure and state-quota advantage, followed by CCET Chandigarh CSE for its accredited curriculum and urban campus, and consider PEC Chandigarh Mechanical/Aerospace as a specialized core-engineering backup with solid research orientation. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
