Hello sir, now my son is studying 12th with maths, physics, chemistry and computer science. Which engineering course will be the best choice in future. Or he will go with bsc maths or some other course. He is in confused state

Ans: Hi. With a cool mind, let him appear for Boards + CET/JEE examinations. Depending on the score, it would be possible for us to choose either engineering or BSc. But, choosing any engineering branch would be preferable to a B.Sc.course. But as you asked about BSc maths, then choose this option if and only if his maths is very strong. And if his maths is strong, then he will have more bright future after B.Sc than Engineering.

HI, My son is in twelfth standard, PCM. What are the course options for him in engineering. We do not want him to take CSE as the CS job market is not doing well. He cannot think of any course which he would like to take up. Please suggest some best options looking at the Indian Job Market.

Ans: You can study job advertisements. You will understand the trend. He can study in any Engineering stream based on his interest (not as per your interest). Then he should concentrate on his study and skill development. If he can develop his skill properly then he will get job otherwise not.

My son, who is in 11th now, wishes to pursue computer science after 12th but is not sure if he wants to do engineering. What courses can he opt for that will ensure good placement? Would it be possible for him to pursue computer science engineering by lateral entry? If so, what would be the eligibilty requirements?

Ans: If your son is interested in pursuing computer science but is uncertain about doing engineering, there are several alternative courses he can consider that also offer good placement opportunities.
1. B.Sc. in Computer Science/Data Science/Artificial Intelligence
2.BCA
If your son decides later that he wants to pursue engineering, lateral entry into a B.Tech program is possible. After doing Diploma in Engineering or B.Sc. in Computer Science he can apply for lateral entry into the second year of a B.Tech program. Lateral entry often requires passing a state-level or university-level entrance exam (like LEET, JELET, or others).

Sir with due respect, I would like to ask about my son’s education and career. right now he is writing his 12th board exams (PCMC in Mangalore) and he will write Karnataka State entrance exams also KCET. Please advise for his future which courses / degrees will be helpful to have a secured career. He is confused whether he should take Electronic and Communication or got for Software engineer with BE. Please advise in which the opportunities are more in his education line. Many thanks in advance. Vinod Kumar

Ans: Vinod Sir, both CSE and ECE are excellent choices. Even if he opts for ECE and later develops an interest in software, he can pursue relevant certifications to prepare for campus placements. Many software companies also hire ECE and students from other branches, so there’s no need to worry. The college and branch he gets into will ultimately depend on his KCET rank. All the Best for your Son's Prosperous Future. Follow RediffGURUS to Know More on 'Careers | Health | Money | Relationship'.
