Stuck at 35 with No Job or Experience: What Options Do I Have?

Ans: Hello Ranjit
The chances of securing a seat in the mentioned colleges are moderate to slim. It may be advisable to consider the CSE or chemical branch to explore additional options. In tier 2 or 3 colleges, your daughter might gain admission to CSE or computer-related branches. You can also pursue management quota for CSE in a reputable private college if she is genuinely interested in that field. Additionally, you will need to leave Maharashtra for Aerospace and Petro Engineering.
Best of luck.

Ans: Hello dear.
(1) The chances are strong of getting CSE in one of the mentioned colleges, i.e., COEP, VJTI, and SPIT.
(2) Consider dropping VIT if your son secures a seat in one of the mentioned colleges.
(3) With the mentioned JEE rank, the chances of admission to NITs or IITs are moderate to slim.
(4) Wait for the BITSAT second attempt result. If it turns out positive with a high percentile, then the BITSAT option will be available to your son.
(5) If your son does not have a domicile certificate, then it is required for admission. If you have it, then it is sufficient.
Best of luck.

Ans: Hello dear.
We can't suggest the names of colleges here on this platform. However, with your mentioned score, your chances for CSE in Bangalore-based colleges are moderate to slim. ECE is a viable option. For CSE, specifically in Bangalore, you may need to consider the management quota. Participate actively in the counseling process to explore more options. The names of colleges located in Bangalore are readily available online.
Best of luck to you.

Ans: Hello dear.
Both options are strong. CS is a better option than ECE. Hence, prefer CS Cyber Security @ Amrita if possible.
Best of luck to you.

Ans: Hello dear.
There was no harm in sharing the actual percentile with us. The term "low" does not clearly indicate how low it is. Even with a low percentile, one can secure a seat in a reputed college via management or NRI quota. It would be better to pursue this option instead of considering a gap year. You can also explore different career paths at this stage since many options are available. You might consider B.Sc. or commerce options as well. Please speak in person with a counselor for proper guidance.
Best of luck to you.

Ans: Ahaan, Continuing CSE at Bennett University offers a curriculum with minors, honours, and two internships, but yields around 60–70% placement rates over the past three years, with average recruitments by 232 companies. Thapar’s BTech in Data Science & Artificial Intelligence, ranked #29 in NIRF engineering, achieves about 83% UG placement consistency, over 334 recruiters annually, and average placements around 83% for its specialised AI & ML cohort. Thapar provides focused AI curricula, dedicated labs, and robust core-industry hiring, whereas Bennett’s broader CSE programme ensures diverse software opportunities. Recommendation: Transition to Thapar DSAI for specialised AI expertise and higher placement density, unless continuity at Bennett aligns better with your current projects and peer network. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
