My son is in last year of B.Tech in CSE,he is interested in Cybersecurity,I have questions whether he should do Mtech or he should take up job, secondly which country is good for Mtech in Cybersecurity ,please suggest

Ans: Since your son is in the final year of CSE and interested in Cybersecurity, here’s the way forward:
• If he gets a good job offer, it’s better to start working first. Cybersecurity is a field where practical experience and certifications (like CEH, CompTIA Security+, CISSP later) add more value than just a degree.
• M.Tech in India (IISc, IITs, IIITs) is good only if he’s keen on research or teaching.
• For international M.Tech/Master’s in Cybersecurity, the best choices are USA, Germany, and the Netherlands – they have strong programs, industry exposure, and high demand for cybersecurity experts.
Take up a job, build 1–2 years of experience along with certifications, then plan for a Master’s abroad. This gives him both skills and career clarity.

Sir,My son got 144 in BITS and 86percentile in Jee, what will be the best availabilty/option for engineering institute for CS, Mechanical & Electrical
Ans: Rachna Madam, with a BITSAT score of 144, admission to the CSE, Electrical, or Mechanical branches at all three BITS campuses is effectively not possible. Recent official cutoffs have been much higher—for example, Hyderabad closed at CSE 284/319/270, EEE 251/262/239, and Mechanical 218/192/214 in 2023/2024/2025, respectively, with Goa and Pilani cutoffs even higher.

Through JoSAA, with an 86 percentile in JEE Main, admission to CSE in NITs/IIITs is generally unlikely, and getting Mechanical or Electrical in mainstream NITs is also difficult under the open category. Chances improve mainly with home-state quota, reserved categories, female-only seats, or in lower-demand GFTIs and self-financed institutes accepting JEE Main scores.

Please check JoSAA’s official opening and closing rank archives year-wise before filling choices. Your son can focus on mid-tier or newer NITs and IIITs and state-level colleges and should also consider 4-5 reputed private universities as backup options instead of relying solely on BITS or JoSAA. ALL the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!
