Career

I completed a BSc in computer science last year from a college in Pune. I’ve been preparing for competitive exams like UPSC and banking but no success yet. I’m now thinking of switching to a tech career or learning a skill like data science, but I’m not sure if it’s too late or if I’m making the right choice. What should I do? I am 22.

Ans: Hi Sir/ Madam,

It's never too late to start anything. You are just 22. If you are convinced with your decision then go for it rather than delaying it even further.

All the best.

Thanks
Ashwini

My son got 89 percentile in jee mains... which is better Robotics in Thapar or industrial production in Nit jalandhar home state general

Ans: For an 89 percentile in JEE Mains, Thapar's Robotics and AI program generally offers a stronger advantage than NIT Jalandhar's Industrial Production, especially for a student interested in cutting-edge technology and potential for higher future career opportunities. Thapar University's Robotics and AI program is known for its focus on advanced technology and may offer better placement opportunities in the robotics and AI field. However, NIT Jalandhar could be a good option if the student has a strong preference for staying closer to home and is less interested in the rapidly evolving tech industry.
