Question by Karm on Jul 16, 2024Hindi

Career

I completed my B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering in 2016. Currently, I am working in the private sector as an Estimation Engineer at an Electrical Heat Tracing company. I feel that my career growth may stagnate in the future due to my background. Therefore, I am considering pursuing a postgraduate degree. However, I am still unsure whether I should pursue an M.Tech or an MBA, and which specialization would be most beneficial for me in either course. Please advise

Ans: Karm, prefer MTech in Electrical, AIML , AIDS or Cyber Security. MBA you can go online also along with MTech (if time can be managed for both) and specialisation you can decide after your 1st semester & it depends upon the University/College you join, Course Curriculum, your interest & demand in Job Market for Engineering Professionals along with an MBA. All the BEST for Your Bright Future.

Ans: Both are good fields to be in. But the kind of jobs that you get post your MTech in Mech Engg is not that great if you do not do it from a good college. Check the placements in the college you want to get in and then decide.

I have completed mechanical engineering in 2020 and worked as quality engineer trainee for 2 years and 2 years in business Now i am getting confusion of which specialization should I join in MBA and Mtech I request suggestions regarding to my problem Thank you

Ans: Mtech and MBA are two different fields. Do the one you are interested in but check job opportunities before taking up the course. In MBA you can decide your specialization in the 2nd year of college once you have the idea of different specialization in the first year.

Career

have got 95.46 percentile in jee mains, having CRL 71261 , belongs to general category passed 12 from Delhi. Domicile - Delhi. Which councelling to look for and what about Jossa and csab counselling?

Ans: Rajiv, For CRL 71,261, General, Delhi, give priority to the JAC Delhi counselling process. Target DTU/NSUT lower branches like Mechanical, Production, Civil, Environmental, Biotechnology, and ICE; IIIT-Delhi CSE/ECE is unlikely. JAC Delhi publishes official 2025 round-wise cutoffs for DTU, NSUT, IIIT-D, and IGDTUW. Through JoSAA, CSE/ECE in good NIT/IIIT is unlikely, but fill lower NITs/GFTIs and use CSAB Special Rounds, whose separate cutoffs are officially released. It is also advisable to have a minimum of 4-5 backup options of IPU counselling, JIIT Noida, Thapar, LNMIIT, Shiv Nadar, and Manipal/SRM/VIT (Northern India Campus) instead of relying only on JoSAA/CSAB/JAC-Delhi. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future!

Career

Hello my name is jasveen, my jee mains crl rank is 643934 and ews rank is 90531 home state - Jharkhand will i get any gfti nit and state level college and good branch ?

Ans: Jasveen, With CRL 6,43,934 / EWS 90,531, NIT/IIIT through JoSAA is almost impossible, even with Jharkhand as your home state. In CSAB, you may still try lower-demand GFTIs like NIAMT Ranchi, Assam University Silchar, Gurukula Kangri, and Mizoram University for branches like Civil/Mechanical/Production/Food/Agriculture, but good branches are unlikely. Have backup options of JCECEB Jharkhand state counselling and private options like BIT Sindri, RTC, Cambridge, Usha Martin, and Amity Ranchi instead of relying only on JoSAA/CSAB. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future!

Sir which branch is beter cse/it

Ans: Hello

Please note both the branches are equally good, however there are few differences like

CSE is a core branch with greater focus on coding, database, AI/ML while IT is more to do with business applications, networking and cybersecurity.

Career wise both offer similar opportunities while come companies prefer CSE graduates.

Also depended upon which college you are pursuing the degree from.

Between the two CSE has a slight edge.
