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.

Hello sir,My daughter mathematics and computing in RGIPT is it worth doing. Possible alternatives cse in iiit trichy/Iiit Dharwad
Ans: Sreenivas Sir, IIT Dharwad and IIIT Trichy offer stronger computing?centric environments and higher placement consistency compared with RGIPT’s Mathematics & Computing. RGIPT’s B.Tech in Mathematics & Computing reported a 65% placement rate in 2022–23 with median salaries around ?9.5 LPA, reflecting growing but still maturing recruitment in tech roles. IIIT Trichy’s CSE program achieved 74% overall placements in 2023–24 with an average package of ?10 LPA and median ?7 LPA, supported by top recruiters like Amazon, NVIDIA, and TCS and robust internship pipelines. IIIT Dharwad’s CSE saw an 87.6% placement rate in 2023 with an average package of ?18.53 LPA and median ?12.56 LPA, highlighting strong industry ties and research opportunities in AI, data science, and cybersecurity. Both IIITs provide AICTE/NAAC A++ approvals, dedicated computing labs, and active career cells, whereas RGIPT’s bespoke curriculum excels in quantitative theory but offers fewer dedicated CS research centres and lower tech?sector recruitment.

Recommendation: Enrol in IIIT Dharwad CSE for its superior placement consistency, higher average packages, and extensive research infrastructure. Choose IIIT Trichy CSE for balanced academic rigor, solid average packages, and strong industry partnerships. Opt for RGIPT Mathematics & Computing only if you prioritise a mathematically intensive curriculum with PSU?focused internships and lower tuition fees. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Hello sir, i got EEE in bit mesra in josaa and chemical engineering (renewable energy) in rgipt , which will be better? Also i got a comedk rank of 6969, in which colleges can i get cse in comedk through this rank?
Ans: BIT Mesra’s Electrical & Electronics Engineering offers a rigorous curriculum in power systems, electronics, and control with modern labs and industry projects, achieving around 69% placement rates over the past three years. RGIPT’s BTech Chemical Engineering (Renewable Energy) specializes in thermodynamics, process design, solar/wind energy conversion and electrochemical systems with small cohorts and strong PSU linkages, though placement data are emerging with average packages near industry benchmarks of ?10.9 LPA and 45–55% placement in inaugural batches.

With a COMEDK rank of 6,969, assured CSE seats are available at institutions whose closing ranks exceed 6,969, such as Acharya Institute of Technology Bengaluru, Atria Institute of Technology Bengaluru, Cambridge Institute of Technology Bengaluru, Don Bosco Institute of Technology Bengaluru and T John Institute of Technology Bengaluru.

Recommendation: Choose BIT Mesra EEE for its proven high placement consistency, robust core-electrical infrastructure and broad recruiter network. Pursue RGIPT Renewable Energy if you seek a niche energy-sector focus with strong PSU ties and hands-on renewable labs. For COMEDK CSE, lock in at Acharya Institute of Technology or Atria Institute of Technology for their competitive curricula, modern facilities and reliable 75–85% placement records. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!
