I completed 12th with 94%, and also recently completed my BTech in Mechanical engineering with 8.2 CGPA. My interest was in aerospace industry to get into ISRO, DRDO, etc. but due to lack of aerospace courses in Chhattisgarh and financial trouble, I opted mechanical. Now I am preparing for GATE. So which subjects GATE (mechanical or aerospace) should I prepare for to get into the mentioned industries. At last, I just want a stable job.

Ans: Financial constraints and lack of aerospace courses in your region led you to choose mechanical engineering. That decision makes sense given the circumstances. Since you’re preparing for GATE, I recommend focusing on the AE syllabus. It will give you a stronger foundation for aerospace-related roles.
Remember that both fields have their merits, and your passion and dedication matter most. If you’re committed to aerospace, AE is the way to go. Don’t forget about the GA section in GATE. It’s common for all papers and contributes 15 marks.
Prepare well for this section—it can make a difference in your overall score.

If you choose ME, you’ll study topics like thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, materials science, and solid mechanics. ME offers diverse career opportunities, including roles in manufacturing, automotive, energy, and more which are helpful to get into DRDO & ISRO recruitments.

I will complete my M.sc in physics at June, 2024. I want to get a job in engineering field. l wrote GATE 2024 exam(Physics )but due to low gate score I am not eligible for IIT, may be I can get some NITs. What should I do now? Which engineering branch are more demanding in recent years?
Ans: Since you're completing your M.Sc. in Physics and aiming to transition into the engineering field, there are several pathways you could explore. Despite not qualifying for IITs, NITs can still offer excellent opportunities for further education and career advancement. If you're interested in pursuing a career in engineering, securing admission to an NIT for an M.Tech. program can be a viable option. NITs are renowned for their quality education and research facilities. Look into M.Tech. programs offered by NITs in branches that align with your interests and career goals. With your background in physics, consider interdisciplinary programs that combine aspects of physics and engineering. Fields such as materials science, nanotechnology, photonics, or renewable energy may offer opportunities to leverage your physics background while exploring engineering applications. While choosing an engineering branch, it's essential to consider current industry trends and demands. Some branches that have been in high demand in recent years include Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), Electrical Engineering (EE), Mechanical Engineering (ME), Civil Engineering (CE), and Civil Engineering (CE). Ultimately, the best engineering branch for you depends on your interests, strengths, and career aspirations. Reflect on your academic background, skill set, and long-term goals to make an informed decision.

Hii sir ! This is ritika and I love a boy and we are in relationship since 7 years but there are some behavior of him he always have doubt on me that I am dating another boy he always says that start you screenshare in WhatsApp I even do because I don't want to lose him and he saw all of things of my phone yesterday he again asking for that and I do and there was a tab of instagram which was belongs to my roommate it was her I'd open in my chrome browser where she only wants to delete the I'd which she did from my phone these instagram thing happened approx one year ago but when he saw this I told him that was not mine but he continuously said I am cheater I cheated with him again he was like I know you have two mobile phones and you cheated with me. I love him soo much but he cannot try to accept that . Even I don't talk to my male classmate because he didn't want ki main kisi boy se baat karu Is it fair , am I cheater ? I love him unconditionally I support him in all his career or decision but again he was like I cheated with him we are in long distance relationship but I can't cheat him . Literally I am feeling depressed ????
Ans: Dear Ritika,

Please understand that you did nothing wrong. Why would you even question yourself? You know you never cheated. It's his issue that he cannot trust. Yes, in a relationship we all try to comfort our partners but that too should be to a certain extent. And, in that process, if your mental health is being compromised, I don't see how it's a healthy relationship.

I don't want to tell you what to do, but I would reassure you that YOU DID NOTHING WRONG. You don't need to prove yourself anymore. And I can also assure you that no matter what you do, he will still manage to find some flaws and doubt you. It's a typical behavior we see in some partners. You deserve peace, love, and above all, to be trusted.

Best Wishes.
