Hi, I am 47. I have worked in IT field for few years. Then had a career gap. Then again started with trainings in soft skills. I am not having any interest to do anything in soft skills. I am looking for job opportunities and upskill myself. I have done my PMP. Also learning AWS. I am actually confused as what should i do to get job. I am applying but not a single call for anything. Due to my career gaps, no one is keen to look at my resume. Kindly guide about my career path, opportunities amd upskill avenues. Thank you

Ans: At this rank, CSE, IT, ECE, and Mathematics & Computing at NIT Durgapur are difficult, but you may have fair chances in Mechanical, Chemical, Civil, Metallurgical & Materials, Biotechnology, and possibly lower integrated MSc options, especially in later JoSAA/CSAB rounds. NIT Durgapur’s 2025 OPEN closing range went up to around 58,659 for its least competitive programme. For IIITs, you can try IIIT Kalyani ECE, as 2025 ECE closing was reported around 39,257, but CSE is difficult. Additionally, please review the JoSAA opening and closing ranks from the last 2-3 years to gain further insights and better understand admission trends before filling your choices. Keep these backup options also ready: IIEST Shibpur for lower branches through CSAB, WBJEE state colleges like Heritage, IEM, and Techno Main in Salt Lake, plus private engineering colleges. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!
