Sir my age is 53 _ right now iam studying Data science _ 5 months course _ is there any possibility _ towards _ getting _ recruited

Ans: Hello
Salute to your determination to learn new technology and aim to earn! You did not mention, what you are doing at present or what job you have done in the past. Even it is also not clear that, do you have any basic computer skills or not. But apart from these parameters, age is less of a barrier in Data Science learning, and with the right skills and networking, you can secure job opportunities.
Remember, Data Science is a skills-based field, and companies often prioritize expertise and knowledge over age.
To get recruited, (1) improve your skills and certifications (2) increase your networking (3) continuously remain in touch with experts in DS and take guidance from them from time to time.

If you are dissatisfied with the reply, please ask again without hesitation.
If satisfied, please like and follow me.
Thanks.

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.

Ans: Did you finish your undergraduate degree (BCom) and your master's degree (MBA) at the same time in 2015? You can pursue CS with ICSI. On the other hand, you should have a Plan B and a Plan C, such as attempting to obtain some more Certifications for jobs and/or looking for jobs as you are already 32 years old. All the Best for Your Mother’s Prosperous Future.

Sir I am 53 years old B.E electrical engineering from NIT ROURKELA for the first 25yrs I was a electrical contractor doing odd works which caused a financial distress then in 2019 I joined in a friend's company and currently working as quality analyst lead but the salary is not enough so I want to do DATA SCIENCE and artificial intelligence masters to get a better job can it happen

Ans: To become expert in DATA SCIENCE and artificial intelligence you have to give a lot of effort. The world is very competitive. Chances of getting a better job in a new field at the age of 53 without any experience in that field is very less.

Sir my son 169000 rank in JEE main this year in General category although he is eligible for EWS category. His chances are very slim. Can he now apply for JOSAA or JAC Chandigarh counselling under EWS category?

Ans: You did not mention the board percentile. If he filled in General in JEE Main and the correction window is closed, JoSAA usually will NOT allow a change to EWS. However, JAC may allow EWS during its own registration if a valid Central EWS certificate is produced. Yet, contact the JAC administration or read the brochure before filling the form.

Good luck.
