Sir, My son has completed his 12th CBSE with 94.6%. He has great interest in hands on projects, has done few tiny arduino projects , made up few pcbs in electronics, and also built small model of bridge, metro, etc. He always tries to know about the technologies in railways locomotives, dam constructions etc, which show his interest in these lines, also. He had qualified for jee advanced, so he has joined iit madras bs program in data science, now he likes that also. We are confused which branch of engg he should take up, as he seems to have great interest in civil, mech, electronics, computer programming lines as well. He doesnt want to take up a pure computer job as a career, as he wants to work on atleast 40% hands on projects. Kindly help in choosing the branch. Thank you

Ans: Considering his diverse interests and preference for hands-on projects, Mechatronics Engineering might be the best fit. He can use his knowledge in Data Science in different applications in Engineering. Encouraging him to look into specific programs at IITs and other top engineering colleges that offer these interdisciplinary fields will help him find a program that aligns with his interests and career aspirations.

Ans: You are lucky to have a son who has got admission in many good institutions. Sit with him and take a decision based on his interest. I can see barring one college, rest of the colleges are offering him BTech in diff shades of Computers. Let the two of you do a bit more of research and decide. Whichever college he picks his goal has to be to excel. Do also factor in the fee and hostel expenses to get him a feel of improtance of money.

Sir, my son has completed his 12th, and we have blocked a seat in pes rr, ece branch. He has interest in civil related field that he has done a few things on his own to know more on that field, from grade 8,9, and talks about the roads, infrastructure etc. He knows and does by intuition how to fix things in the house, when they break.He has also done very small interfacing projects in electronics. We dont know which branch to choose? He has also enrolled in bs from iitm through jee adv. He took it up to gett a stronger foundation in programming in case he continues with ece. He likes that too. Kindly advise which branch he should choose in engg, he dooesnt want to take up a cs career, though. Thank you

Ans: Hi. Always respect the interests of our children. As you said and elaborated about him, you must opt for Civil Engineering where he will excel over CS / ECE. But you have blocked this seat in PES. A branch change option is available in 2nd year depending on the score of 1st year and the availability of seats in the respective branch. If the institution is ready to refund the maximum amount of fees as per their terms and conditions, then first choose the Civil seat in a good college and then leave PES. Forcefully doing CS/EEE is not at all recommended. Else wait for bs as he enrolled iitm via jee adv.

If you found this suggestion helpful, please consider following me.

my son is a us citizen and i have returned back to india when he is very young due to family issues... now he completed graduation in india.. and is interested to work in usa what are the opportunities that he can get to pursue further studies in usa with scholarships or assistance or get some help in settling there(unemployment benefits) as i cannot afford to sponsor him anymore

Ans: No issue. Being the citizen he will get the benefit and tuition fess will be very low as compared to other international students. I won't allow his talents to die. But don't send him for Masters, because now a days in Masters it is very difficult to get scholarship, that means tuition fees waive. Let him directly try for PH.D. Ph.D admission always comes with funding. You need to spend only for the air ticket. For long term counselling join me in LINKEDIN. In Ph.d after two years if he wants to discontinue he can safely exit with an MS degree and please don't think of unemployment benefits. It's a negative thinking. Since he is an American Citizen by birth let him fly and inscribe his name in golden letters in the academic landscape of USA. I am always there to help him. No worries please. I thank you for your kind concern for your son. GOD BLESS HIM. Professor

I am engineer with 16 years of IT experience and now a break of 11 yrs. But in 11 yrs I had been taking Quantitative aptitude lectures as a visiting faculty in various engineering and MBA colleges and also done Mutual fund certification. I haven't been siting but doing many things professionally in last 11 yrs(In my subject of interest as Maths, Teaching, Finance, Accounting, Wealth Management). I was thinking of doing ESG certification. What kind of role I would get if i am CFA ESG certified.I am looking for Professionally and intellectually engaging role where I can contribute to Society. Not a very NGO type( I have tried working with few NGO's)

Ans: I won't recommend you to go for ESG certification unless you are having a background of Env. Engg and Environmental Impact Assessment. The certificate course of ESG is costly also.

You have explored many areas and now you are perplexed. Here the questions are assigned to me through rediffmail.

Ans: Since you are a diploma you are not graduate. So I would advise you to go for an online BBA along with you job. It will take three years. After that go for online MBA.

I am 29 years old, I have worked in manufacturing industry for 4.5 years but left it for joining IT industry. Since 2.5 years I am working in IT industry with salary of 7 lpa I am broke now . Not getting what should I do?

Ans: Who told you to switch over to IT? What is your basic degree? I think it must be Mechanical/Production. You left your own stream and in IT sector it is an everchanging field. By the time a students complete his B.Tech the market demand is changed. You must have gone to IT for more money, but the ultimate result is there is a mental break down. Decision makes a man, not hard work. Decisions Decide Destiny. Now first think whether you want to be in IT or again come back to production or not. Join me in LINKEDIN, I have more than twenty thousand followers. Hope I will be able to counsel you again. Because here you can't contact me directly.

How is the opportunity in india for a candidate who has done master in data science Australia and also has 1 year work experience in Australia

Ans: Truly speaking you can't expect much. First thing is that how India will consider the Master degree of Australia is not known to anyone. Even if an American MS comes after ten years of experience he/she will never get the desired and required treatment, hike and salary. India is flooded with Data Science professionals and bodies like Intellipaat are giving certificate in Data Science with collaboration with Chennai IIT or Roorkee IIT. Secondly the reputation of your Australian university is also a major factor. I think you can't expect much. Best of Luck.

Relationship

Dear Sir, I am 45 yrs, married person with a son. My relations with wife is zero due to her health problem. In my office one lady faculty of 32 yrs with daughter, speaks and behave very sweetly with me. I feel she likes me and i also like her. So i invited her for coffee on one day. She came and we spent more than one hour about speaking on each other's personal things. After few days i again invited her for coffee. She also accepted it. But this time, i mistakenly told about this one of office friend, who is very jealous to us. It goes viral in office. Now that lady stopped talking to me and blocked me from her contacts. May i lost the chance of love with her due to this mistake?

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
You are assuming that your lady-friend liked you romantically; she could've considered you a good friend- good friends can have coffee together too. Maybe the reason she blocked you is that you misread the relationship and even discussed it with someone in the office. And since you mentioned you have a wife and she has health issues as well, how do you think things would have worked out between you and your lady friend, even if you knew for a fact that she is interested in you? I suggest you move on from this and also consider opening up to your wife about how the lack of intimacy in your marriage is pushing you to look for the same feelings outside.

Best Wishes.
