I need advice for a course from IIM Indore MMS program is it good? I am working in telecom with 17 years exp. as specialist core technical profile and stuck at the same position for 10 years looking to change job and domain will this program help? What about placements? My current package is 30 Lakh. will i be able to get placed on higher package and change domain. Is this course worth to move to higher levels.

Ans: I dont believe the course provides placement opportunities. It is a good course to get an IIM Tag but may not be able to boost your package in the short run. It most likely will help in the long run. Changing domain also could not be easy as any company you apply to will ask for relevant work ex.

Sir i have got integrated M Tech CSE (Data Science) at VIT - CHENNAI. is it worth to study integrated M Tech courses
Ans: Murugesh, Integrated M.Tech programs blend undergraduate and graduate studies, saving a year and offering specialized depth in fields like Data Science, machine learning, and advanced analytics while ensuring early research exposure and industry internships. At VIT Chennai, the Integrated M.Tech CSE (Data Science) spans five years with eligibility at 70% PCM in 10+2 and yields approximately 75–80% placement rates across integrated cohorts, driven by 800+ recruiters including Microsoft, Amazon, and Google, and average packages near ?9–11 LPA reflecting technology and analytics hiring trends. Graduates gain strong foundations in algorithms, statistical modeling, big-data frameworks, and practical projects, positioning them for roles as Data Scientists, ML Engineers, and quantitative analysts in tech firms and financial institutions globally. Compared to standalone B.Tech + M.Tech, the integrated model provides streamlined progression, reduced fees, and consistent mentorship, though demands sustained academic commitment. Recommendation: Pursue the Integrated M.Tech CSE (Data Science) at VIT Chennai for accelerated specialization, robust placement network, and interdisciplinary research opportunities that align with high-growth data-driven industries. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Hello sir ,I'm thinking of taking a drop but not for jee as it is not my cup of tea given I have 6months also I want to pursue cse and getting cse in top nit bit we need 99 98 97 percentile..which I don't think I can do if I see it practically i scored 40 percentile this year and 12th boards i scored 65% but I'm very keen to learn coding that's why I want to pursue cse engg from a good college I was thinking of taking a drop for comedk and viteee and cuet(just for options). And focusing entirely on fundamentals so I won't have any problem during my engg and comedk so that I can atleast do engg from bms and ramiah and all, is it a good option because I'm confirmed on taking a drop as I'm not getting a good pvt college this year and if I have to give jee then I have to give improvement too as I don't fulfill 75% criteria
Ans: Hello dear.
There are a lot of concerns regarding you. Here is the point-wise reply: (1) Do not take a drop for JEE. (2) Take admission to CSE in any reputed or tier 2 college via management quota to save one year. (3) As you are interested in coding, you can easily learn it with the CSE syllabus. (4) If you become an expert in coding and programming, you will get opportunities based on your skills, not based on the college or university from which you completed your UG course. (5) In life, nothing is impossible. You can learn anything through online or offline methods nowadays. So why take a drop? (6) Be confident in yourself. Success is within reach. There is plenty of evidence that candidates are working in top positions after completing their UG from tier 2 or tier 3 colleges in rural areas.
Best of luck.
