Career

Dear Sir, Im running 53 age, basically im BA + PGDHRM Graduate +Computer course Now iam a private company employee working as Sr.Executive office, i have blindly worked 17 years in our existing company without any strong financial benifits. and having low salary. Now I decided to do data science or any company work related course for my better carrier for remaining work period. so, my question is, can i get a better job in any company in this age, and also please inform me which course is better to me for my remaining future. (short term course). Now im working perfectly in MS Office & Tally.etc. please guide.

Ans: Dear Mr. Rao,
As you are already 53 and would be reaching superannuation in a few years, it is advisable to stick to the same company. If you want to change, you must look to upgrade your skills in AI and Data Science. These are the 2 skills which would be in high demand in the next 2 years and shift to a good company.

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

Sir my Obc ncl rank is 3203 can I get IISER bhopal in 4th or 5th rounds there is any chances

Ans: While your rank is slightly above the typical closing rank, it's possible to secure a seat in later rounds of counseling (4th or 5th) if some candidates choose other IISERs or opt for different courses.
So it is better to participate in the counselling process.

Sir I've got sgsits indore ece through state counselling should i prefer iiit nagpur or kota ece over it or i should go with sgsits

Ans: Hello dear
If you value an older reputation and local placement network, choose SGSITS Indore ECE; for a newer IIIT brand and national exposure, IIIT Nagpur/Kota may be better. Final suggestion: prefer Nagpur or Kota, whichever is suitable for you. Considering your native place Indore, prefer KOTA.

Good luck.

Career

Hello Sir, my son is doing BTech from JUIT. Should he opt for core CSC or CSC AI and ML or some other specialization in computer sciences considering he will pass out after 4 years?

Ans: If your son is clear about building a career in cutting-edge tech like AI, data science, or ML, then CSE with AI & ML gives him a head start and industry demand is strong.
However, core CSE is safer if he wants flexibility—it covers all fundamentals and allows him to specialize later through projects, electives, or a master’s degree.
If he’s unsure right now, core CSE keeps more options open for the next 4 years.

Question by Ashu - Aug 08, 2025Hindi

Career

Namaskar. Sir please suggest newton school banglore ( gives certificate to S vyasa) & Dayanand sagar university, Dsce banglore csc placement wise please.

Ans: Newton School (Bengaluru, via S-VYASA / Rishihood University)
• Offers an industry-focused B.Tech in CS & AI, recognized by UGC/AICTE, and grants alumni status from both Newton School and Rishihood University
• Placement performance is strong:
o Up to 98% placement rate
o Over 2,500 students placed with hiring partners like Google, Amazon, Razorpay, McKinsey
o Average packages around ?12 LPA, sometimes higher
o For internships, 93% students got offers in 2nd year, averaging ?25,000/month, with top stipends up to ?50,000/month; some even ~?1.25 L/month at Google
Excellent placements and real-world exposure. Strong choice if you're keen on careers in software, AI, data—and flexible later for higher studies or government roles.
Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering (DSCE), Bengaluru
• Has a dedicated placement division with solid support—mock interviews, soft-skill training, etc.
• Placement stats:
o Highest packages range between ?52–56 LPA
o Average placements around ?6–6.5 LPA
o ~55–80% of students get placed
• Specifically for DSU (Dayananda Sagar University):
o In 2024, highest package: ?35 LPA, total offers: 419, with 450+ companies visiting, and several “dream” and international offers
Good options, especially if you're targeting higher packages. But overall placement percentage is lower than Newton, so some students may need to work harder to grab top offers.

Question by Piyush - Aug 08, 2025Hindi

Career

I have got 98.2 %ile in JEE MAIN 2025 (OBC category) , but still searching college. Can you please help me and tell, at this percentile can I get ece, eee branch at any of iiit bangalore, iiit hyderabad, iiit delhi, NIT SURATHKAL, NIT WARANGAL, NIT ALLAHBAD...please help me ASAP ....thanks for you help in advance

Ans: With a 98.2 percentile in JEE Main (OBC), your chances for ECE/EEE are good in some NITs, but the very top ones like NIT Warangal, NIT Surathkal, and IIIT Hyderabad are still tough because their cut-offs for these branches are usually higher for OBC (often 99+).
You should still try for:
• NIT Allahabad (ECE chances are fair)
• NITs in the next tier like NIT Jaipur, NIT Rourkela, NIT Nagpur
• IIIT Bangalore – borderline for ECE, but worth applying
• IIIT Delhi – possible if you meet their eligibility and domicile rules
Keep backup options ready in other good NITs/IIITs to be safe.
