Sir i am getting electrical engineering in iit ropar ,iit mandi, iit jodhpur,iit dhanbad and civil in iit kanpur, iit roorkee, iit madras etc. And chemical in iit roorkee, iit guwahati and mechanical in iit bhu, iit indore and production and industrial engineering in iit delhi, biotechnology, textile,material engineering also in iit delhi and metallurgy in iit bombay, i m more interested in coding and want to get placement in tech companies with good package of around 20lpa ....which option should i prefer ?
Ans: Sahil, Given your interest in coding and tech roles, prioritize Electrical Engineering at IIT Ropar (75.76% placements, 2024 data) or IIT Jodhpur (61.66% EE placements), as these institutes offer flexibility for upskilling in coding through electives and internships, with recruiters like Amazon and Microsoft hiring across branches. Production & Industrial Engineering at IIT Delhi (91.18% placements) is another strong option, given its high placement rate and proximity to tech roles via interdisciplinary projects. Avoid Civil Engineering (IIT Madras: 77%, IIT Kanpur: 69.2%) and Chemical/Mechanical branches, as core-sector placements dominate, requiring proactive upskilling for IT roles. Material Science at IIT Bombay (70.37% placements) and Biotechnology at IIT Delhi (lower tech roles) are less aligned with coding goals. If institutional prestige is critical, IIT Madras/Roorkee provide robust coding ecosystems despite lower Civil placements. Explore IIT Mandi’s Electrical Engineering (61.66% placements) for its AI/ML focus or IIT Delhi’s Mathematics & Computing (if eligible via branch change). Prioritize institutes with coding clubs, hackathons, and CS minors to bridge branch gaps. Confirm internship support and alumni networks in tech sectors during enrollment. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Relationship
My married ex still texts me for comfort. Because of him, I am unable to move on. He makes me feel guilty by saying he got married out of family pressure. His dad is a cardiac patient and mom is being treated for cancer. He comforts me by saying he will get separated soon and we will get married because he only loves me. We have been in a relationship for 14 years and despite everything we tried, his parents refused to accept me, so he chose to get married to someone who understands our situation. I don't know when he will separate from his wife. She knows about us too but she comes from a traditional family. She also confirmed there is no physical intimacy between them. I trust him, but is it worth losing my youth for him? Honestly, I am worried and very confused.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand how difficult it is to let go of a relationship you have built from scratch, but is it really how you want to continue? It really seems to be going nowhere. His parents are already in bad health and he married someone else for their happiness. Does it seem like he will be able to leave her? So many people’s happiness and lives depend on this one decision. I think it’s about time you and your BF have a clear conversation about the same. If he can’t give a proper timeline, please try to understand his situation. But also make sure he understands yours and maybe rethink this equation. It really isn’t healthy. You deserve a love you can have wholly, and not just in pieces, and in the shadows.

Hope this helps
