I completed my btech last year it’s been a year since now I came with a job from college but till now the company where I got placement didn’t call me for joining after my internship, now Iam confused that already one year gone what to do hereafter like prepare for cat and go to IIM or prepare for upsc as Iam not sure if I can able to crack the upsc civil service examinations and my parents also have no hope on me regarding anything but according to my mind I wanted to do something in order to shine in a field, can anyone tell me the scope of the fields I said like ias or mba which will be good for my situation right now.

Ans: I can well appreciate your situation. I hope you know that you are among a very number facing this situation. I would encourage you to take three steps on a regular basis. Firstly, keep following up with the company that made you the offer on the new date of joining. 2. Make your biodata afresh and make job applications that are of your interest. Also use your contcacts, friends, seniors from your College to le tyou know of possible job openings, including those where they can recommend you. Thirdly, continue to revise and add skills that will be of help in your job. Use learning portals like Swayam and Coursera to pick up new subject areas. And lastly, be confident and face the difficult situation with optimism. You are sure to shine.

Question by SOUMIK - Jul 11, 2023Hindi

Career

I have just recently completed my btech in Computer science engineering from a tier 3 engineering college in Kolkata. Being a tier 3 college, there weren't any decent on campus placements. Further, I always wanted to become an IFS( Indian Foreign Service) officer, so always wanted to sit for UPSC after finishing my graduation. But now that I have seriously started thinking about it, I am not sure what to do. I mean I want to pursue UPSC, there is no financial pressure from family, atleast not for the next 2 years but I feel like if I don't make it (since I have to consider the scenario that I may fail to crack the exam), I don't know whether I will be able to get a job after 2 years gap after graduation in IT sector or will I be able to pursue further studies such as MS from USA or MBA from tob b schools in India. I am feeling depressed and helpless as I am unable to decide what to do? Should I just start looking for a job right now or just prepare for UPSC and don't worry about those stuff right now. I would greatly appreciate your answers and views in this matter.

Ans: Soumik, You seem to be in a muddle. I suggest you go for career counselling from a professional who will charge you for it. Also remember that the fail rate in UPSC exams is high and if you want to pursue a career as an IFS officer you will have to work really hard to pass the various levels of exams. If you feel you have the tenacity and perseverance and are confident of your abilities, then go for it! If in doubt, stop and think, then take a concerted decision based on what you really feel and know about yourself.
I also suggest that you carry out your own SWOT analysis to get to know your capabilities and capacities to attain your goals.
Wish you the best!

Ans: Dear Mr.Soumik

Cracking UPSC is not easy but it's worth the effort. Believe in yourself and put your heart and soul in it....suggest you watch the movie 12th fail.

Recently I hired a member in my team, he pursued UPSC for two years and was not successful...the preparation that he did for 2 years made him a different person and that's the reason I hired him

It is said that when we aim for the moon and if we don't get it we would still lmd on some star...

All the best.

Hi i had done my graduation in 2021 in bsc chemistry. Since that was covid time i didn't know much about my graduation subject hence didn't go for msc and started preparing for upsc now after 3 years seeing the failure rate of it and seeing seniors of mine giving there last attempt. I can't think myself at that stage of life so now i am confused should i go for mba or mca since mca will be total domain change but i will get a package and now i have time to try IT sector but i dont know what if in future i think i choose wrong path. I am totally confused

Ans: Dear,

There is a proverb "One who knows his weaknesses and strengths can't be treated as a fool until he really fails to improve upon his weaknesses" . I am happy that you are aware about your weak areas .

To get a job of choice is a bliss and only those who are lucky get them. UPSC or MCA to get into for IT sector ,may not be a rational option and may take time to get a job of choice. However Your qualification can easily
get you into sector like Pharma sales , FMCG/FMCD / Industrial sales , banking or finance sector sales/ops etc apart from MBA if you have time and
patience ,

These options are definitely not bad if you are in dire need of a job. Now without wasting time get into suggested sectors.

I am a bsc graduate in science. I want to choose between mba mca and data analytics by bootacamps. Which one will be more beneficial for getting job

Ans: Look at your interest and accordingly decide. The skill sets required for each of the courses is quite different. All three have decent opportunity of placements and would depend on the college you get in. If you are not sure about the field, then would recommend you to do MBA and decide on your specialization in the 2nd year where there are options of IT / Systems in some of the colleges.

Which branch is more preferred in sector of semiconductor cce or ece.?

Ans: Which engineering discipline is more preferred is a personal choice. However, here are the prospects for each. Semiconductor engineering is likely to see explosive growth in niche, high-tech manufacturing roles.

CCE will expand with the digital transformation and infrastructure improvements related to 5G and communication systems.

ECE remains a safe and versatile choice, with its broad applicability across industries such as telecom, electronics, automotive, and defence.

If you prefer niche, highly specialized work, semiconductor engineering could offer the most growth. For broader job opportunities across industries, ECE or CCE may be better choices.

Whichever discipline you pick up, I urge you to put in your best efforts in mastering the fundamentals, excelling in your internships, hackathons.

Question by Muskan - Sep 16, 2024Hindi

Relationship

Hii sir ! This is ritika and I love a boy and we are in relationship since 7 years but there are some behavior of him he always have doubt on me that I am dating another boy he always says that start you screenshare in WhatsApp I even do because I don't want to lose him and he saw all of things of my phone yesterday he again asking for that and I do and there was a tab of instagram which was belongs to my roommate it was her I'd open in my chrome browser where she only wants to delete the I'd which she did from my phone these instagram thing happened approx one year ago but when he saw this I told him that was not mine but he continuously said I am cheater I cheated with him again he was like I know you have two mobile phones and you cheated with me. I love him soo much but he cannot try to accept that . Even I don't talk to my male classmate because he didn't want ki main kisi boy se baat karu Is it fair , am I cheater ? I love him unconditionally I support him in all his career or decision but again he was like I cheated with him we are in long distance relationship but I can't cheat him . Literally I am feeling depressed ????

Ans: Dear Ritika,

Please understand that you did nothing wrong. Why would you even question yourself? You know you never cheated. It's his issue that he cannot trust. Yes, in a relationship we all try to comfort our partners but that too should be to a certain extent. And, in that process, if your mental health is being compromised, I don't see how it's a healthy relationship.

I don't want to tell you what to do, but I would reassure you that YOU DID NOTHING WRONG. You don't need to prove yourself anymore. And I can also assure you that no matter what you do, he will still manage to find some flaws and doubt you. It's a typical behavior we see in some partners. You deserve peace, love, and above all, to be trusted.

Best Wishes.
