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

Hello sir. My brother is getting ocean engineering at IIT Madras, Civil at IIT Indore and CS at RVCE. Which would be the right choice.

Ans: Please note, here the 2 questions are (1) Your brother prefers IIT over Stream or Stream over IIT (2) He wants IIT's Stamp on his Certificate irrespective of whether he is interested or not for the stream offered by IIT and / or whether the stream has any scope or not? Please ask your brother this question & decide accordingly, if he is confident over the Stream he chooses. Also you please AVOID forcing him to join which you prefer. (3) Ask his order of preference as far as streams (Civil, CS or Ocean Engineering) are concerned. I suggest to consider one among 2-choices (out of 3) i.e. IIT-M (Ocean) or RVCE (CS). All the BEST for your Brother's Bright Future.

#My question was not answered by any of Career guru. I posted on 20 th June. can any one please attend and advise us. # Hello Sir/ Madam ; We are from Pune, Maharashtra. My son recently gave CBSE 12 th Boards and wants to pursue Engineering course. He gave IIT Mains and other private college exams like VIT , Symbiosis, Manipal, COMEDK. He has already got seat as follows - Symbiosis Pune - Btech-AIML; VIT/AP -CS with DS in category 2 and Manipal Bangalore- Electronics and Computer Engineering. MH CET percentile is 96.67 and CAP round counselling is yet to start. His COMEDK rank is 19 K , counselling yet to start. Please advise us in doing right choice for him in terms of institute and Branch considering Internship opportunities/Placement opportunities from already allocated seat/institutes. Also kindly give us insight on chances to get college/branch from MH CET and COMEDK. We are from OPEN Category .Thanks in advance !!

Ans: Prefer Symbiosis-P-AIML, followed by VIT-AP-CS-DS. As back-ups you can participate in the counselling process of both MH-CET & also COMEDK, but getting CSE with any top colleges will be difficult, though you can fill your choices. Will have to compromise on other streams. All the BEST for Your Bright Future.

Ans: You have genuine interest in robotics, AI, automation, electronics, and coding.

You’re ready to self-learn, build personal and open-source projects (e.g., drones, robotic arms), and maybe pursue higher studies or specializations later.
