Sir, my son has just completed his 12 class in commerce stream. We wish to send him abroad for studies and permanent settlement there. Our focus is on Canada. Please guide us and tell us the valuable diploma courses in good colleges and fee structure and other costs. Also advise if we send him after the graduation.
Ans: Hello Lakhbinder,

Thank you for contacting us. It can be a thrilling opportunity to send your son to study and live permanently overseas. Owing to its excellent educational system and friendly culture, Canada is a popular choice for overseas students. You can plan by following the advice provided here:

1. Certificate Programs: In Canada, "community colleges" or "colleges of applied arts and technology" are where diploma courses are commonly offered. These colleges offer education that is both practical and career-focused. A few worthwhile diploma programs in the area of commerce include: Business Administration, Marketing Management, Supply Chain Management, International Business, Human Resource Management, Accounting and Finance.

2. Good Colleges: Numerous reputable colleges in Canada offer diploma programs and Bachelors. Several well-known organisations with programs in commerce include: Humber College, George Brown College, Seneca College, Sheridan College, Centennial College. Making an educated choice, however, requires thorough research and comparison of colleges based on their program offers, standing, professors, and campus amenities.

3. Fee Structure and Additional Costs: Depending on the institution, program, and location, the price structure and other charges may change. In general, tuition costs for international students will be greater than for domestic students. The typical yearly tuition costs for overseas students in Canada, as of the cutoff date in September 2021, range from CAD 15,000 to CAD 35,000, depending on the program and institution. Depending on the city and lifestyle, a person's annual living costs—which include housing, food, transportation, and healthcare—can range from CAD 10,000 to CAD 15,000.

4. Graduation vs. Diploma Courses: If your son has just finished his 12th grade, he might think about enrolling in a diploma program right away. In Canada, diploma programs are intended to give students specialised knowledge and skills for particular professions. But if you'd prefer that your son continue his education, he can earn his graduation (Bachelor's degree) in Commerce in India before looking into opportunities for postgraduate study in Canada, such as Post Graduation Diploma Program or a Master's or MBA.

It's important to take into account aspects like eligibility requirements, visa procedures, scholarship or financial aid choices, and employment opportunities both during and after studies when making the decision to send your son to Canada.

For the most recent information and advice on immigration laws, study permits, and settlement procedures, it is also advised to speak with an educational advisor or get in touch with the Canadian embassy or consulate.

Son studying in last year B Tech computer. At present upto 3rd year CGPA is 9.15. Interested to study Masters in Data Science or AI ML in Canada in Ontario. Suggest courses and university.
Ans: Hello Rajender,

To begin with, thank you for contacting us. I am glad to hear about your son’s plans on pursuing his Master's in Data Science or AI/ML in Ontario, Canada. One of the most sought-after study abroad destinations, Canada experiences the influx of a large number of international students each year. Ontario, on the other hand is home to a number of outstanding universities that provide programs in the fields of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence or Machine Learning. I would suggest that you son considers the following Canadian universities and courses:

The University of Waterloo offers a Master of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (MDSAI) degree that emphasizes on Artificial Intelligence as well as Data Science. The Master of Management Analytics program at Queen’s University concentrates on the use of analytics in professional environments. This degree is best suited for jobs in Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). At Carleton University in Ottawa, your son can pursue Master’s of Computer Science along with a specialized program in Data Science. The Master of Science in Computer Science with a specialization in Artificial Intelligence (AI) is offered at McGill University situated in Montreal, Quebec. Your son can also consider pursuing Master of Science in Applied Computing at the University of Toronto. This degree, with a strong emphasis on the theory and applied components of computer science allows one to specialize in ML and Data Mining. Situated in Vancouver, British Columbia, and not in Ontario, the University of British Columbia offers students the Master of Data Science program to pursue. This degree offers an all-round data science education.

I would recommend that you son conducts an extensive study on the curriculum of the above mentioned programs, as well as takes into account the admission prerequisites, faculty expertise, and available research possibilities when selecting universities. He should also consider any recent alterations or updates in admission requirements.

My son doing CTVS course. I want to know what are the higher studies available in india or abroad?
Ans: Hello EZHIL,

To begin with, thank you for contacting us. I am happy to hear that your son is studying Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery (CTVS) course. You would be glad to know that studying overseas can expose your son to other methods and viewpoints in the domain of cardiothoracic and vascular surgery (CTVS), in turn, providing him with a comprehensive education. Concerning your query, I would like to let you know that we only deal with overseas education and therefore, would only be able to suggest certain possibilities for higher education overseas.

Master of Science (MS) or Master of Surgery (MCh) programs in cardiothoracic and vascular surgery are offered by a number of foreign universities. Thorough instruction in both theoretical knowledge and practical abilities are offered by these programs. Next coming to fellowship programs, a number of prestigious medical institutions provide CTVS fellowship programs. Specialized training across a broad range of cardiothoracic and vascular surgery topics, including minimally invasive procedures, transplantation, and paediatric heart surgery are offered by these programs. Pursuing a Ph.D. in cardiothoracic and vascular surgery (CTVS) can be a desirable choice for individuals who are passionate about academics and research. With an emphasis on cutting-edge research approaches, these programs enable students to make innovative research contributions to the field. Electives or short-term observerships at prestigious medical facilities overseas can also be looked into by your son. These opportunities enable students to network with professionals in the area as well as provide practical exposure to cutting-edge surgical techniques. Coming to conferences and workshops, I would suggest that he participates in international seminars and conferences related to vascular and cardiothoracic surgery. These meetings provide chances to learn, hone skills, as well as connect with international experts.

I would recommend that your son conducts an extensive study taking into account variables viz., the syllabus, experience of the faculty members, possibilities for research, and opportunities for clinical exposure prior to selecting a university and program. Not just that, make sure the program you have chosen fulfills all accreditation requirements as well as resonates with your son's professional objectives.

Jee main 2025,my son got 95.2%tile,71104 rank ,ews rank 10111,home state punjab ,can he get cse,ece,data science,it, branch in any nit,iiit,gftis or which branches he will get in these institutes .
Ans: Varinder Sir, Providing precise admission chances for each student can be challenging. Some reputed educational websites offer ‘College Predictor’ tools where you can check possible college options based on your percentile, category, and preferences. However, for a more accurate understanding, here’s a simple yet effective 9-step method using JoSAA’s past-year opening and closing ranks. This approach gives you a fair estimate (though not 100% exact) of your admission chances based on the previous year’s data.

Here is, How to Predict Your Chances of Admission into NIT or IIIT or GFTI After JEE Main Results – A Step-by-Step Guide.

Step-by-Step Guide to Check Your Admission Chances Using JoSAA Data
Step 1: Collect Your Key Details
Before starting, note down the following details:

Your JEE Main percentile
Your category (General-Open, SC, ST, OBC-NCL, EWS, PwD categories)
Preferred institute types (NIT, IIIT, GFTI)
Preferred locations (or if you're open to any location in India)
List of at least 3 preferred academic programs (branches) as backups (instead of relying on just one option)
Step 2: Access JoSAA’s Official Opening & Closing Ranks
Go to Google and type: JoSAA Opening & Closing Ranks 2024
Click on the first search result (official JoSAA website).
You will land directly on JoSAA’s portal, where you can enter your details to check past-year cutoffs.
Step 3: Select the Round Number
JoSAA conducts five rounds of counseling.
For a safer estimate, choose Round 4, as most admissions are settled by this round.
Step 4: Choose the Institute Type
Select NIT, IIIT, or GFTI, depending on your preference.
If you are open to all types of institutes, check them one by one instead of selecting all at once.
Step 5: Select the Institute Name (Based on Location)
It is recommended to check institutes one by one, based on your preferred locations.
Avoid selecting ‘ALL’ at once, as it may create confusion.
Step 6: Select Your Preferred Academic Program (Branch)
Enter the branches you are interested in, one at a time, in your preferred order.
Step 7: Submit and Analyze Results
After selecting the relevant details, click the ‘SUBMIT’ button.
The system will display Opening & Closing Ranks of the selected institute and branch for different categories both Home State (HS) i.e. State you belong to & also Other State (OS).
Step 8: Note Down the Opening & Closing Ranks
Maintain a notebook or diary to record the Opening & Closing Ranks for each institute and branch you are interested in, separately for HS & OS Categories for a quick reference.
This will serve as a quick reference during JoSAA counseling.
Step 9: Adjust Your Expectations on a Safer Side
Since Opening & Closing Ranks fluctuate slightly each year, always adjust the numbers for safety.
Example Calculation:
If the Opening & Closing Ranks for NIT Delhi | Mechanical Engineering | OPEN Category show 8622 & 26186 (for Home State), consider adjusting them to 8300 & 23000 (on a safer side).
If the Female Category rank is 34334 & 36212, adjust it to 31000 & 33000.

Follow this approach for Other State candidates and different categories.
Pro Tip: Adjust your expected rank slightly lower than the previous year's cutoffs for realistic expectations during JoSAA counseling.

Can This Method Be Used for JEE April & JEE Advanced?
Yes! You can repeat the same steps after your April JEE Main results to refine your admission possibilities.
You can also follow a similar process for JEE Advanced cutoffs when applying for IITs.

Career
I have already appeared for the JEE Main and secured a 95.15 percentile, which is close to the previous year's cut-off. My query is whether it is possible to select both options JEE and NFATso that if I do not qualify through my JEE score, my application can be considered based on my NFAT score instead. If selecting both options is permissible, could you please guide me on how to do so while filling out the application form? Your assistance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Ans: No, candidates cannot apply using both JEE Main and NAFT scores for the same admissions. JEE Main scores are used for admissions to engineering programs at NITs, IIITs, and other participating institutions, while NAFT scores are used for admissions to NAFT-affiliated universities. These are distinct admission processes, and only one set of scores can be used.

hello sir, so i was a neet aspirant gave neet 2 times but did not get qualified...i was doing bsc in biology simultaneously..but the problem is i am not a regular student...all i did was give exams for bsc....now i don't know what to do....i have a thought of going for ssc cgl and then preparing for upsc if i land a job through ssc....but it would be tough to make a transition from neet ssc cgl...but im adamant to do it...please share your thoughts regarding my situation?
Ans: Hello Divyanshi.
Here is a pointwise reply to your current situation: (1) If possible, consider dropping the idea of NEET as you have tried twice but didn't succeed, (2) Focus on your B.Sc. and aim to become a regular student to achieve a high percentile in the exam. B.Sc. Biology has wide applications in both industries and academia. (3) There is no point in joining a job based on SSC as it would likely create further frustration for you. (4) Along with your B.Sc., consider learning some industry-based and computer courses if you are interested. (5) If you have a computer and a Wi-Fi connection at home, you can access many free online courses on the Coursera website. (6) You can also try for public service commission examinations while preparing for your B.Sc. (7) Recognize your strengths and the knowledge you possess, and focus your job search in that sector/area for a successful career. In this modern era, it is not difficult to find a job if someone is an expert in their field.
