I am 44 year old IT engineer. I want to learn new courses which will be helpful for me going forward for my future....please suggest

Ans: Dear Venkat,

Thank you for writing in.

It's nice that you are looking at building your skills. IT, as an industry is quite vast. I may not be in the position to give you a direct answer as to which course you should do but few q's you may ask yourself which will you help come to conclusion-
1- Which latest technology that is having competitive advantage
2- Do I want to change the domain/ language or continue in the same. If you want to continue then you can look at relatable courses.
3- What are the opportunities I may have if I add these (x) skills to my profile. How will it help me stand out in the competition
4- Should I work on my soft skills for example- (People skills, managerial skills, communication skills etc.) as these will be needed at every level of your career
5- Speak to senior professionals in your industry and take their views points

Before enrolling into any course assess your current skills, interests and the specific need of the industry you are in. Choose a course which will align with your career, aspiration and interest that you want to take professionally.

Hope this helps. All the best.

To your success. Be You. Be Confident

Question by ASHWIN - Jun 02, 2025

Career

Hey sir I wanted to do mtech in Vit not the integrated the normal one , I have scored 8.5cgpa in btech , what iam worrying about my 12th marks which is 54 but criteria is 60 and in Vitmeee I have scored a good rank soo is there any possible will vit accept my 12th marks and more over my gate is score is preety decent soo is there any chance I can get into vit

Ans: Ashwin, VIT’s M.Tech eligibility criteria mandate a minimum of 60% aggregate in Class 10 and 12, along with 60% in graduation (or equivalent CGPA), as per the VITMEE 2025 information brochure . While your B.Tech CGPA of 8.5 and decent GATE score demonstrate strong academic capability, the 54% in Class 12 falls short of the institutional threshold. VIT’s admission process for M.Tech prioritizes VITMEE rank and GATE scores, but the 60% benchmark in 10th/12th is non-negotiable for eligibility, as industries partnering with VIT enforce this requirement for placements.

Recommendation: Contact the VIT admissions office directly to clarify if exceptions apply for candidates with exceptional UG/GATE performance, though precedents suggest strict adherence to criteria. Explore alternatives like NITs or state universities with relaxed 12th-grade requirements, leveraging your GATE score and B.Tech CGPA for admission. Consider reapplying after improving 12th marks via NIOS or state board re-evaluation if VIT remains a priority. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: It's difficult to definitively say which option is "better" without knowing your priorities. Both VIT-AP (Category 3) and Manipal Bangalore (Information Technology) are reputable institutions, but they have different strengths.

I got 80percentage in boards and 120 marks in met can i get an ece seat in manipal main campus

Ans: Rishik, With 80% in board exams and 120 marks in MET 2025, securing Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) at MIT Manipal’s main campus is unlikely based on historical data. The 2024 ECE cutoff at MIT Manipal closed at ranks 5,909–6,349, while a MET score of 120 typically corresponds to ranks ~8,000–12,000. Although your board percentage contributes to the normalized rank (50% MET + 50% boards), the combined score still falls short of the competitive threshold for ECE at the main campus. However, MIT Bengaluru and MIT Jaipur offer feasible alternatives, with ECE cutoffs historically closing around 14,000–18,000 and 26,000–30,000, respectively. These campuses provide similar curricula and 70–80% placement rates in core electronics roles via recruiters like Qualcomm and Bosch. For assured admission, prioritize ECE at MIT Bengaluru/Jaipur during counselling or explore Electronics & Computer Engineering at newer campuses. If set on Manipal’s main campus, consider Mechanical Engineering (cutoff: 18,000–23,000) or Civil Engineering (33,000–35,000) and supplement with coding skills for IT transitions. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Pursuing engineering from Jadavpur university west bengal is worth it?....some people say there is lot of politics in the campus....is it true?

Ans: Yes, taking admission in Jadavpur University (JU) for engineering is generally considered a good choice. JU is a highly-regarded university with a strong engineering program and good placement records. While it has a reputation for political activism, it's not necessarily disruptive to academics for those not involved.

What should I prefer between chemical at nirma and cse(ai ml) at vit bhopal in 1st category

Ans: For Category 1 admissions, CSE (AI/ML) at VIT Bhopal is generally considered a better choice than Chemical Engineering at Nirma University. VIT Bhopal's CSE program, particularly with a focus on AI/ML, is often highly regarded and attracts strong placement opportunities. Additionally, VIT Bhopal's CSE program generally has a higher reputation and ranking compared to Nirma's Chemical Engineering program.

Sir I got seat for mtech (pg) in SRM kattankulathur cse(full stack) and vit bhopal(aids).which is best sir to join?

Ans: For your M.Tech (PG) choice between SRM Kattankulathur (CSE, Full Stack) and VIT Bhopal (AI & DS), SRM Kattankulathur is generally considered a better choice, particularly if you are focused on the full-stack development aspect.
Here's why:
SRM Kattankulathur's CSE Program:
SRM's main campus (Kattankulathur) has a well-established CSE program with strong placement records, especially for CSE-related specializations like full-stack.
VIT Bhopal's AI & DS Program:
While VIT Bhopal is a reputable campus, its AI & DS program is relatively newer and may not have the same established reputation and placement history as SRM's CSE.
Focus on Full-Stack:
If your career goal is to be a full-stack developer, SRM's CSE (with its emphasis on full-stack) would provide a more direct path to your desired specialization.
Overall Ranking and Reputation:
VIT has a higher NIRF ranking than SRM, but SRM's main campus (Kattankulathur) is still a strong institution with a reputable CSE program.
Placements:
SRM's main campus typically has better placement records for CSE compared to other SRM campuses, and it's generally known for having good placements.
In summary, if your primary goal is to become a full-stack developer, SRM Kattankulathur's CSE program would be a more direct and likely better choice, despite VIT Bhopal's higher overall NIRF ranking.

Nit Rourkela biotech, Nit patna chemical, Bennett university cse, manipal university jaipur ece which is better option in terms of placements and future?

Ans: For a better future and placement prospects, NIT Rourkela (Biotech) is generally considered the stronger option. While NIT Patna (Chemical) and Manipal University Jaipur (ECE) have their merits, NIT Rourkela and NIT Patna generally have better placement statistics overall. Bennett University (CSE) could be a good choice if you prioritize a more modern and tech-focused curriculum, but its placement record may be less established compared to NIT Rourkela.

I got 71k rank in viteee can i get category 1 or 2 in cse or ece

Ans: With a VITEEE rank of 71,000, your chances of securing a Category 1 or 2 seat in CSE or ECE at VIT are slim. Category 1 cutoffs for CSE and ECE are significantly lower (better) than your rank, and Category 2 cutoffs are also unlikely. While you might have a chance in Category 3 or 4 for ECE or other branches at VIT Bhopal or VIT-AP, your chances of getting into CSE or ECE at VIT Vellore or Chennai are low.
