I am a 4th year engineering student. I want to go for Masters abroad. I have got a 7th sem internship in a big company . If I go for internship , i wont be able to focus on applications, research internship that i am currently doing, as well as my 7th semester score may come down. What should I do, go for internship or focus on doing 7th sem properly

Ans: Managing both your internship and performance in your 7th semester might be demanding. It is crucial to prioritize maintaining a high level of academic achievement throughout your 7th semester, as this will have a significant influence on your applications for graduate school. If the internship is not essential for your career objectives or has the potential to harm your academic performance, it would be advisable to delay it.

Hello Sir/Madam, My daughter is completing her 3rd year B.Tech (Information Science) this year. SGPA is 7.50 in all previous years. she wants to do her MS after completing her B.Tech. She wants to persue her MS in Germany or UK. My query is should she do her internship next year in India or get a job here or else in a foreign country. I am confused. Please help.
Ans: Hello Stan,

First and foremost, thank you for getting in touch with us. Congratulations to your daughter as she finishes her third year of a B.Tech. program! It's a wise choice to pursue an MS following graduation, and both Germany and the UK have top-notch higher education options. Her internship decision is based on a variety of criteria and personal preferences.

Gaining international experience through an internship in a foreign nation can be useful if your daughter intends to study abroad for her MS. This experience will not only boost her profile, but will also allow her to become acquainted with the work culture and professional environment in another country. Additionally, it may be a chance for her to network and create connections that can help her future professional chances.

Internships abroad, however, may provide unique difficulties, including visa restrictions, language problems, and cultural acculturation. If your daughter wishes to stay in India, she can think about pursuing an internship with a respectable company in her industry. She will be exposed to the industry while also gaining useful real-world experience. She can also look at employment prospects in India, which will advance her career.

The choice should ultimately be in line with your daughter's ambitions, long-term objectives, and circumstances. Researching the particular criteria and opportunities in Germany and the UK, speaking with academic advisors or career counselors, and taking into account various issues like cost, language ability, and potential future career paths may all be helpful for her.

We mainly deal with overseas education. If your daughter is considering pursuing an education abroad, then please contact us. Thanks!

I am student in 1st year of be cse(ai). I belong to tier3 college. I am confused between either i do preperation for internship or i do preparation for masters. Please advise me or suggest me some tips for both.
Ans: Thank you for contacting me. Deciding between pursuing an internship and preparing for a master's degree depends on your individual goals, career aspirations, and current circumstances. An internship provides hands-on experience in a professional setting, allowing you to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world problems, whereas, getting a master’s degree from a top college can open up new career opportunities, increase your earning potential, and position you for leadership roles in the future.

Internships allow you to explore different industries, roles, and career paths, helping you clarify your career interests, whereas, getting a master's degree can enhance your professional qualifications, increase your marketability, and improve your prospects for career advancement.

Please remember, regardless of whether you choose internships or further studies, try to focus on building your technical skills, particularly in areas relevant to your field of study. Take advantage of opportunities to learn programming languages, algorithms, machine learning, and other AI-related topics through coursework, online tutorials, workshops, and projects.

I would recommend you manage both. Consider factors such as your career aspirations, academic interests, financial situation, and time frame, and choose the option that aligns best with your long-term objectives. If you have any specific questions or need further advice, feel free to ask me on Rediff Gurus.

I have completed my msc in biochemistry n now doing internship but I am confusing about my future because I see this field don't pay me inuff for life even for future... N don't have more jobs in Maharashtra. I don't like production jobs but in Pharma only production pay much so what can I do .. Can u suggest me which job is high payable after Msc biochemistry
Ans: Hi Nandu,

Greetings!

Could you please let me know which year you completed your course and whether you are currently doing an internship or apprenticeship? An internship is part of the curriculum, where students gain practical training, sometimes with a stipend and sometimes without. After completing your course, you can opt for an apprenticeship, which typically lasts one to one and a half years and includes a stipend, usually split 50%-50% between the industry and government.

If you are in the internship phase, please inform me about the specific field you are working in. Initially, you may not expect a high salary, but after gaining expertise in your field, your compensation will improve. Typically, this takes about three years, so it’s important to focus on skill acquisition for a better future.

If your internship aligns with your field of study, I encourage you to continue and consider starting a medical lab or exploring opportunities in medical devices related to biochemistry. However, pursuing a career in pharmaceutical production may not be suitable for you, as it is a different field, and you may find it challenging to grasp the processes involved since you are currently inexperienced in that area.

Please share the specific field of your internship, and I would be happy to provide more tailored advice.
with regards
