Question by Motivational on May 12, 2024Hindi

Career

Hi, I completed my BTech in Computer Science with a specialization in Cyber Security in 2023. Since then, I have been actively applying to numerous MNCs and small organizations for job opportunities, but unfortunately, I have not been successful in securing employment. In December 2023, I joined Infosys as a Process Executive, but I resigned in February. I then moved on to another company specializing in expert networks in February 2023, but unfortunately, I was laid off. Since then, despite applying to over 1500 companies, I have not received any responses. Additionally, I have obtained certification as a Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) from EC-Council. Now, I am feeling confused and considering pursuing a Master's degree from a public university in Italy starting in October 2024. Can you advise me if I am on the right path, or what I should do next? Please provide a brief explanation. Also, I am currently 25 years old and still unemployed.

Ans: Pursuing a Master's degree in a specialized field can be a good step forward, especially if you're finding it challenging to secure a job. Studying abroad can provide you with international exposure and potentially open up more global job opportunities. Universities often have strong industry connections and career services that can help with internships and job placements. Given your current situation, this path seems promising.

However, continue applying for jobs and internships, and consider short-term courses or projects to stay engaged and build your resume until your Master's program begins.

Best of Luck!

Question by Vijayalakshmi - May 10, 2026Hindi

Career

My daughter has secured 23421 rank in AEEE.What is her chance of getting chemical engineering in Amrita coimbatore campus based on homestate quota?

Ans: Vijayalakshmi Madam, At AEEE rank 23,421/23,241 with the Tamil Nadu home-state quota, your daughter has a chance for chemical engineering at Amrita Coimbatore, especially in later counselling rounds and higher fee slabs. For Coimbatore, third-party trend data places lower-demand "other" branches around 10k–35k for the home state in 2024, which supports a realistic possibility for Chemical at this rank, but it is not guaranteed. The best choice order is Chemical Engineering Coimbatore → Civil/Mechanical/EEE Coimbatore → Chemical/Mechanical at Amritapuri or Bengaluru → Chennai/Amaravati options. Keep all slabs open to improve allotment chances. If possible, consider including 3 to 4 other reputable private colleges in Tamil Nadu as backup options, such as SNU, Sastra, Sathyabama, and others. All the Best for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future!

Question by Ishita - May 09, 2026Hindi

Career

Sir,I got 88.12 percentile in jee mains Are there chances of getting cse or eee in iiits,nits or gftis if yes..which ones specifically I also got 19k rank in viteee,at which campus can I get cse or eee in category 1..Which wud be the best for me at this rank.. I wud really look forward to receive some guidance from you.

Ans: Ishita, Base on your JEE Score, NIT/IIIT CSE is unlikely. EEE/Electrical may be possible only in CSAB in lower-demand GFTIs or some northeast/newer institutes, not in strong NITs. Still, you must try. With a VITEEE rank of 19,000, VIT Vellore/Chennai CSE Category 1 is unlikely. Category 1 CSE/EEE is more realistic at VIT-AP or VIT Bhopal; Chennai CSE specialisation may need Category 2/3, and Vellore CSE will likely be a higher category. VIT’s official fee page confirms category-wise slabs. The best order can be VIT-AP/Bhopal CSE Cat-1 → VIT Chennai CSE specialisation if affordable → VIT Vellore ECE/EEE if available → CSAB GFTI/low NIT non-CSE → 2-3 more backups with reputed private colleges in and around your state. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future!

My grand son jee percentile is 89.6 and rank is 66659,in vit his rank is 4954

Ans: With a VITEEE rank of 4,954, your grandson has a strong chance of securing admission to VIT Vellore or Chennai for CSE or CSE specializations, likely within Category 1 or 2, depending on branch demand and counseling movement. With a JEE Main percentile of 89.6 and a CRL of 66,659, admission to NIT or IIIT CSE programs is unlikely, but he should still participate in JoSAA and CSAB counseling for lower-demand branches at NITs, GFTIs, and some newer IIIT non-CSE branches. The recommended preference order is: VIT Vellore CSE/specialization → VIT Chennai CSE/specialization → VIT Vellore IT/ECE → JoSAA/CSAB options → private college backups. All the Best for Your Gradson's Prosperous Future!

Hello sir, I have 8788 rank in AEEE and home state quota in Amrita Coimbatore campus. I want cs specialization courses (AI&DS,CSE WITH AI, CSE WITH CYBER SECURITY) in coimbatore campus. At what slab is it possible for me to get this seat ? Thank you in advance

Ans: At AEEE rank 8788 with the Coimbatore home-state quota, CSE specialisations at Coimbatore are possible mainly in higher slabs, not safely in Slab 1/2. Amrita’s official CSAP 2026 handbook says allotment depends on AEEE/JEE rank, seat availability, campus–branch–slab preferences, and category/home-state rules. For Coimbatore CSE with AI / AI & DS / cybersecurity, your realistic target should be Slab 3 or Slab 4. Slab 2 is a small chance, and Slab 1 is unlikely at 8788. The best backup order can be Coimbatore ECE/EAC, then Amritapuri/Bengaluru CSE-AI/cybersecurity, then Chennai/Amaravati CSE-related branches. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future!
