Hi, My son just completed his BE (Mech). He was an average student through out and got 70+ percentile marks. He reluctantly took Mech branch and so not interested to pursue further MTech degree instead want to go for an MBA course in operational Management. Is this good decision or what are the alternate option to him. Kindly advice. Thanks and regards

Ans: Hello Arharv
If you are getting CSE at Lower NITs, then go for it. Choosing a core branch while simultaneously preparing in DS+AI or coding may seem easy at the early stage, but maintaining consistency and staying updated becomes very difficult as time passes. As you mentioned, you are only interested in tech branches, so consider dropping the idea of electrical, mechanical, or chemical branches. Pursue CSE at any NIT and fulfill your dream; this is the best path for you.
Best of luck to you.
Follow me if you like the reply. Thanks

Ans: Kirti, Thapar University (TIET) and Ramaiah Institute of Technology (MSRIT) are leading engineering institutions, each excelling in distinct domains. Thapar University, ranked **#29 inngineering (NIRF 2024), demonstrates a 83% UG placement rate with a median salary of ?11.89 LPA and participation from 334+ recruiters like Amazon and Deloitte. Its interdisciplinary research ecosystem, bolstered by collaborations with Imperial College London and ?59.12 lakhs in research funding, supports innovation in sustainable energy and robotics. Conversely, MSRIT, ranked **#75 in EngineeringNIRF 2024), reports a 95% placement rate with a median BTech package of ?8 LPA and a record-high offer of ?58 LPA in 2025, driven by 239+ recruiters such as Microsoft and Bosch. MSRIT’s location in Bangalore enhances IT industry linkages, particularly for CSE and ISE specializations, though its research output trails Thapar’s.

While Thapar offers broader academic diversity, including Management (#44 NIRF) and Research programs, MSRIT focuses on core engineering and architecture (#21 NIRF). Thapar’s A+ NAAC accreditation and global QS ranking (951–1000) underscore its comprehensive excellence, whereas MSRIT’s strengths lie in its urban ecosystem and higher top-tier packages. Recommendation: Choose Thapar University for research versatility and interdisciplinary opportunities; opt for MSRIT if prioritizing IT placements and Bangalore’s industry network. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: NCL (Non-Creamy Layer) Certificate: The most important document for OBC individuals seeking to benefit from government reservation policies, ensuring that they are not excluded from these opportunities due to their income (NMT INR. 8.0 LPA) status within the OBC category.
This has been issued by the competent authority (revenue official or district magistrate) of the state where you reside by uploading the (respective state government) necessary documents ( like Community certificate and Income proof) to the website.
After verification, the competent authority will issue the certificate.

In simple 2 factors :1. community certificate 2. income proof.

Ans: Manoj Sir, With an IMU CET rank of 2,000, admission to B.Tech Marine Engineering at IMU Kolkata/Mumbai is highly probable, given historical cutoffs closing at 10,346 (Kolkata) and 2,082 (Mumbai) for general category candidates. IMU campuses report 90–98% placement rates in core maritime roles, with recruiters like Chevron, Maersk, and NYK Line actively hiring graduates for onboard engineering positions. Conversely, a JEE Main rank of 206,000 falls outside NIT/GFTI cutoffs for competitive branches, as even NIT Agartala’s Mechanical Engineering closed at 172,608 in 2024. While NITs like Manipur or Sikkim may offer Civil/Production Engineering with ranks up to 461,000, these programs lack IMU’s specialized maritime training and industry linkages. IMU’s structured curriculum includes mandatory internships and global certifications aligned with International Maritime Organization standards, ensuring direct entry into maritime careers. Drop-year success hinges on improving JEE rank to
