Sir, My son completed 12th class, PCM subjects currently in mumbai scored 70%. He is interested to pursue Marine Engineering, but we are concerned what if he doesnot want to travel in ship or feeling sea-sickness. So we suggested to do mechanical engineering and do marine engineering certifications. Switching of career options is available. Is that approach is correct ? 2. Kindly suggest good marine engineering colleges in maharashtra or in Tamil nadu (regd academics and placement) through management quota. Tolani ,pune is good ? 3. Same for mechanical also please suggest. 4. Any other career options other than 2 above engineering courses, pls advise. Thanks Sudhakar

Ans: First decision is correct. Let him go for Mechanical Engineering. For the second question you are advised to search in net. Even for Mechanical Engineering you can see the ranking of the colleges in net. Another option is Production Engineering, if he doesn't get Mechanical, though in very few colleges Production Engineering is there. I think he will definitely get Mechanical. I couldn't understand why are you thinking of Management quota at the starting. Let him compete. If he fails then question of management quota will arise. Secondly never show your financial ease in front of your son. It will make him lazy and he will take his admission for granted. Best of luck. Just follow me. GOD BLESS HIM. Professor............:)

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.

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'.

Sir, My son is not interested in computer related jobs. However, he has deep interest in physics. Based on his choice, he likes two engineering branches (from good/reputed institute (like VIT/Thapar Institute) - Either Mechanical engineering or Electronics and communication engineering. So, please suggest regarding the following queries. (1) From package/salary point of view, which one would be better - Mechanical engineering or Electronics and communication engineering (Considering, having job in core sector)? (2) From profession growth point of view, which one would be better - Mechanical engineering or Electronics and communication engineering (Considering, having job in core sector)? Please suggest from short and long term perspective.

Ans: If he wants stable government jobs (PSUs like ISRO, DRDO, BHEL, ONGC, BEL, etc.) → Both ME and ECE are equally good.

If he wants a high-paying career in India (private sector) → ECE is better (VLSI, semiconductor, telecom are booming).

If he wants international opportunities (Germany, US, Japan) → Mechanical is good for automotive/aerospace, but ECE is better for semiconductors.

If he is interested in future technology (Quantum, AI hardware, 6G, IoT, Chip Design) → ECE has a clear edge.

If he enjoys hands-on work (machinery, engines, aerodynamics) → Mechanical suits him better.

For best career growth and salary: ECE (core sector like VLSI, 5G, semiconductor, telecommunications, embedded systems).

For passion in classical physics and machines: ME (with specialization in Robotics, Aerospace, or Renewable Energy).

Sir, I have scored 97.01 percentile in JEE mains 2025 session-1 I belong to ST category and my domicile state is rajasthan what are the chances of getting top 5 NIT's CSE branch

Ans: Given your estimated ST category rank of approximately 1,400, securing a CSE seat in these top NITs may be challenging.
You may get NIT Hamirpur, NITs at north eastern states.
As a Rajasthan domicile candidate, you have the advantage of the home state quota at Malaviya National Institute of Technology (MNIT) Jaipur.

Sir I got 97.88 percentile in JEE MAINS 2025 .I am OBC NCL candidate with home state u p. Can I get CS in top NIT or IIIT. Or should I take electrical in top NIT or IIIT. Can you suggest me something best about it.

Ans: Congratulations on achieving a 97.88 percentile in JEE Main 2025! Securing a seat in CSE at top NITs such as NIT Trichy, NIT Warangal, or NIT Surathkal is highly competitive, and typically requires a higher percentile than 97.88. However, you may have a chance at obtaining a CSE seat in some of the newer or less competitive NITs and IIITs. For instance, IIIT Lucknow and IIIT Kota have had closing ranks around your range in previous years.
If you are more inclined towards Computer Science, it might be worth pursuing it in a newer institute. Conversely, if you have an interest in Electrical Engineering, securing a seat in a more established NIT could be advantageous.

Relationship

After my mother's death, my father (54 years old) is involved in extra marital affair with an unmarried neighbour girl (25). Nobody knows about their affair except our family. Me (23) & my sister (21) tried our best to make my father understand that this is not the right time to do all these things, but he is not listening to us & not ready to understand. It seems useless for him to have affair with her because there is no future of this relationship. Age gap is also huge. Her parents also don't know about it. Neither we can tell about it to them, because they will target our family & ruin our life. They can also file police complain against our whole family if they gets to know about it. I am sure they will also deny this relationship. Took our relatives help too, but it didn't work. Don't know what to do. Can you please help ??

Ans: Hello mam..This could be a part of mid life crisis and he could feel this extra marital affair to be coping mechanism after trauma, your mother's death. Your father should definitely think about his children and their future. Are you and your sister working or studying? I would like to know a little further about your present status so that i can suggest you something better.
Kindly do reply.

Ans: Hello sir. Plz have some patience. I understand that this is an important aspect of relationship but not the only aspect. It could be a reaction to some trauma also. Take some private time and sit with your wife. And politely try to figure out the problem. Take her some time. Have some patience. Let her be comfortable with you again. Everything will come to normal. Take care!
