Hi I am 29 years old with over 6 years of experience in sales and customer support I am currently start working in an IT company as a senior sales executive so I realise that i start love coding I have done MCA as well but not good at coding so choose the different path but now I am realising that I am doing almost same thing from last 6 year's no new thing I have learned so I am decided to start my career in coding again so I want to know how to start?

Ans: It is best to stay in sales and take any online certification course offered by reputable online coding platforms. Please add job alerts about coding jobs to your LinkedIn account if you have one so that you may stay up to date on the latest trends in the job market and advance appropriately. You will benefit greatly from frequenting LinkedIn. You can also attempt any offline certification by going to classes on the weekends or in the evenings. Do extensive research on the course curriculum, job guarantee or assistance, reviews of the course or institution, fees, course duration/times, etc. before enrolling in any certification course, whether online or offline. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future.

I got 98.5 percentile and 23746 rank in jee main 2026 .I want to get a high salary and high growing job in future . I get non cse branch like ece,er in nit jamshedpur bhopal, allhabad and also get cs branch in lower nit . which do i choose? Where I get a good placement in future
Ans: Sekhar, At CRL 23,746 with 98.5 percentile, the best decision should be based on long-term salary growth and career flexibility. For high salary and future-ready careers, generally CSE/IT is preferred over ECE, and ECE is preferred over Electrical, but a strong NIT brand can be better than taking CSE in a much weaker lower NIT. Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology Allahabad has very strong placement momentum, with CSE average packages reported around ?28 LPA and major recruiters like Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, Oracle, PhonePe and Qualcomm regularly hiring. Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology Bhopal and National Institute of Technology Jamshedpur also have strong placement records and good recruiter presence. My strict order of preference would be MNNIT Allahabad ECE first, followed by MANIT Bhopal ECE, then NIT Jamshedpur ECE, followed by MNNIT or MANIT Electrical, and only after that CSE in a lower NIT if that institute has strong coding culture and recruiter access. NIT Jamshedpur Electrical should come after these options. My final recommendation is to prefer ECE at MNNIT Allahabad or MANIT Bhopal over CSE in a much lower NIT because it offers stronger brand value, better placement quality, coding opportunities, semiconductor and VLSI career options, and better long-term growth for both core and software roles. ALL the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!
