Sir, Can you advise about some online course which my son can pursue alongside his BTECH CSE course for updating his skills. I have come across a website named "SWAYAM" providing a wide range of courses. Is it good enough.

Ans: SWAYAM is a reputable platform offering a wide range of online courses developed by top Indian institutions like IITs, IIMs, and NITs. NPTEL are another one. Courses are free. You have to pay when you want to get certificates by giving exam. That is also very nominal.
Additionally, other platforms like Coursera, edX, and Udacity also offer specialized courses.
Your son can do DS course from IIT Chennai
May I know in which year is he now?

My son is in 2nd semester of Diploma in Computer science engineering. After his 2nd semester exam, he will be having 2 months summer vacation holiday. Please suggest some short term courses which he can enroll online/ offline relating to his field, which would be helpful in his career?

Ans: Please give him a break even a computer needs to reboot after a long session, these 2 month's holidays are for him to rejuvenate and reactivate!?
Unless... you want a physical and mental burnout!?

Enroll him extracurricular activities, swimming, music, drama or even a Sumner Club... If you can't afford a decent holiday for the entire family... You too.. Need a break!

Ans: Look at your interest and accordingly decide. The skill sets required for each of the courses is quite different. All three have decent opportunity of placements and would depend on the college you get in. If you are not sure about the field, then would recommend you to do MBA and decide on your specialization in the 2nd year where there are options of IT / Systems in some of the colleges.

Career

Which branch is more preferred in sector of semiconductor cce or ece.?

Ans: Which engineering discipline is more preferred is a personal choice. However, here are the prospects for each. Semiconductor engineering is likely to see explosive growth in niche, high-tech manufacturing roles.

CCE will expand with the digital transformation and infrastructure improvements related to 5G and communication systems.

ECE remains a safe and versatile choice, with its broad applicability across industries such as telecom, electronics, automotive, and defence.

If you prefer niche, highly specialized work, semiconductor engineering could offer the most growth. For broader job opportunities across industries, ECE or CCE may be better choices.

Whichever discipline you pick up, I urge you to put in your best efforts in mastering the fundamentals, excelling in your internships, hackathons.

Relationship

Hii sir ! This is ritika and I love a boy and we are in relationship since 7 years but there are some behavior of him he always have doubt on me that I am dating another boy he always says that start you screenshare in WhatsApp I even do because I don't want to lose him and he saw all of things of my phone yesterday he again asking for that and I do and there was a tab of instagram which was belongs to my roommate it was her I'd open in my chrome browser where she only wants to delete the I'd which she did from my phone these instagram thing happened approx one year ago but when he saw this I told him that was not mine but he continuously said I am cheater I cheated with him again he was like I know you have two mobile phones and you cheated with me. I love him soo much but he cannot try to accept that . Even I don't talk to my male classmate because he didn't want ki main kisi boy se baat karu Is it fair , am I cheater ? I love him unconditionally I support him in all his career or decision but again he was like I cheated with him we are in long distance relationship but I can't cheat him . Literally I am feeling depressed ????

Ans: Dear Ritika,

Please understand that you did nothing wrong. Why would you even question yourself? You know you never cheated. It's his issue that he cannot trust. Yes, in a relationship we all try to comfort our partners but that too should be to a certain extent. And, in that process, if your mental health is being compromised, I don't see how it's a healthy relationship.

I don't want to tell you what to do, but I would reassure you that YOU DID NOTHING WRONG. You don't need to prove yourself anymore. And I can also assure you that no matter what you do, he will still manage to find some flaws and doubt you. It's a typical behavior we see in some partners. You deserve peace, love, and above all, to be trusted.

Best Wishes.
