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............:)

Career

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.

Question by vinod - Feb 12, 2025Hindi

Career

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'.
