Hello Mr. Harsh, My son is going to clear 12th exam from commerce side. What course do you suggest he should go so that he can get a good carrier/job in future.
Ans: Here are some IT-related courses that your son may consider:

Cloud Computing: Cloud computing is a popular technology that is used to store and access data and software over the internet. Your son can pursue a course in cloud computing that covers topics such as virtualization, cloud architecture, and cloud security. This industry is expected to become a $1.5 trillion industry by the year 2030 with a CAGR growth rate of 14.1% from the year 2023 to 2030. The cloud industry is growing at a very stable rate.

Metaverse: Metaverse is a virtual world that is created by combining virtual and augmented reality technologies. Your son can pursue a course in the metaverse that covers topics such as 3D modelling, virtual environments, and gaming development. There is a very good course called "Masters in Gaming and Metaverse Development" that is industry certified. The Metaverse industry is expected to become a $1 Trillion industry by the year 2030 so there is exponential growth.

Cybersecurity: With the increasing number of cyber attacks, cybersecurity has become a critical field in IT. As people's work and day-to-day activities shift more and more online, there is going to be much more cyber breaches taking place which automatically needs to be balanced out with more cybersecurity professionals. Your son can pursue a course in cybersecurity, which covers topics such as network security, cryptography, and ethical hacking. The industry was valued at $222 billion in the year 2022 and is set to go beyond $650 billion by the year 2030 indicating steady growth going into the future.

Blockchain: Blockchain is a decentralized digital ledger that is used to record transactions. It is used in various industries such as finance, healthcare, and supply chain management. Your son can pursue a Masters in Blockchain development course which will teach your son everything about blockchain and cryptocurrency industry. The blockchain industry is expected to reach a valuation of $1.4 Trillion growing at a CAGR of 87.7%! Blockchain is becoming more widespread and accepted among the general population and there is huge growth in this industry

Data Science: Data science is a field that involves extracting insights from large amounts of data. Your son can pursue a course in data science that covers topics such as statistics, machine learning, and data visualization.


These are just a few of the many IT-related courses that your son may consider. It is important for him to research his interests and career goals and choose a course that aligns with them.

My son ranked 4700 jee main 2026, home state west bengal. 99.71 percentile. Which nit , can he get cse ?
Ans: Based on your son's 99.71 percentile, he has a strong chance of becoming a good ranker in JEE Advanced as well. If he scores well there, IIT admission can be his first preference.

With a JEE Main All India Rank (AIR) around 4,700 and 99.71 percentile, your son can realistically target CSE in several NITs, especially under the West Bengal home-state quota. Typically, top NIT CSE closing ranks range between 1,500 and 5,000—for example, recent CSE closing ranks include NIT Trichy at 1,449, Surathkal at 1,827, Warangal at 2,409, Rourkela at 3,431, Calicut at 5,222, and MNNIT Allahabad at 4,594.

For West Bengal home-state candidates, NIT Durgapur CSE is a strong and realistic target, and your son may also secure ECE, EEE, or IT branches at other NITs depending on the round and seat availability.

Backup options to consider include newer IIIT campuses offering CSE/ECE, lower-demand branches at NITs, and IIEST Shibpur. While CSE in top NITs is achievable, the choice of branch and timing of counseling rounds will play a significant role. Once the JEE Advanced exam is over, your son can check the answer key on the same day or the next to estimate his expected score and AIR. He should then promptly review the JoSAA opening and closing ranks from the past 2-3 years to gain deeper insights and better understand admission trends, focusing first on reputed IITs and then on NITs. ALL the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

As an outstate Maharashtra resident can my son get admission in any top Maharashtra Government / Private Colleges, if my son score 140+ marks in MHT CET and having 93.60 percentile in JEE mains. Please name the top Maharashtra government / private colleges in which my son can get admission via MHT CET and JEE main score being an outstate Maharashtra resident.
Ans: Govind Sir, As an outside-Maharashtra candidate, your son can still pursue admission to Maharashtra colleges, but government seats through MHT CET are limited and highly competitive. The more practical route to top institutes is securing All India quota seats via JEE Main. Based on recent cutoff trends and Maharashtra counselling rules, key colleges to consider include VJTI Mumbai, COEP Pune, SPCE Mumbai, Walchand Sangli, PICT Pune, DJ Sanghvi Mumbai, MIT-WPU Pune, and VIT Pune. With a 140+ score in MHT CET and a 93.60 percentile in JEE Main, securing CSE in top government colleges will be challenging, but admission to ECE, IT, ENTC, or Mechanical branches in newer or mid-tier colleges is more realistic. For non-domicile students, focusing on OMS/All India seats through JEE Main and exploring private colleges with strong placement records is advisable. Additionally, please review the JoSAA opening and closing ranks from the last 2-3 years to gain further insights and better understand admission trends. ALL the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

My son is currently in Xth std ICSE MUMBAI. What are our options for getting into ENGINEERING? We are interested in enrolling them in a junior college rather than integrated learning. Which junior colleges can you recommend in Mumbai that has pathway to engineering ?
Ans: Neeraj Sir, For a junior college route in Mumbai, your son should enroll in Science (PCM) in FYJC (First Year Junior College), as this is the standard pathway to engineering through MHT-CET and JEE Main, leading to admission opportunities in colleges like IIT Bombay, VJTI, SPIT, DJSCE, KJ Somaiya, and ICT Mumbai.

Good junior college options in Mumbai with strong engineering pathways include St. Xavier’s, Jai Hind, Ruia, Mithibai, KJ Somaiya College of Science, and other reputable Science junior colleges known for strong PCM results and competitive admissions. For the best long-term engineering prospects, select a college that offers excellent teaching in Maths, Physics, and Chemistry, along with regular testing and a proven track record of students progressing to top engineering colleges. A value-added suggestion: If your son is specifically targeting the JEE, he should first thoroughly master the NCERT textbooks for all three subjects (Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics) and then focus on the materials provided by his integrated coaching institute. ALL the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Follow RediffGURUS to Know More on 'Careers | Money | Health | Relationships'.

For your son, the safest plan is to pursue FYJC Science with focused coaching for JEE and MHT-CET, followed by admission through these engineering entrance exams, rather than opting for integrated schooling if you prefer to maintain flexibility.
