Sir my son is completing his Intigrated Btech + Mtech 5 year in information technology from IIIT in may 2024 .His cgpa is around 5.7 that's why not getting campus placement. What should he do for placement Prepare for Gate 25 for PSU job Take a DSA course for preparation of MNC jobs . Or he should do PHd Please suggest

Ans: Dear

My suggestion he should pursue the path that he would truly feel good about...let him first introspect why he got low CGPA...is it because he was not interested in the field or he took it lightly...if it is later then he can fix it...but if is not interested then he will have to do deeper soul searching...

All the best

Hello sir /madam Kindly advice for my son who has completed Btech with specialization in big data from SRM University with 8.1 cgpa in 2023 Last year in jan 2023 he did 1 internship for 3 months in cognizant which was through college placement, but they didn't call him for regular job after completion of internship though it was internship leading to placement program Then he was also selected in tcs ninja program through college placement itself and they provided him ilp training in trivandrum for 2.5 months but he couldn't clear their PRA test and was asked to resign from the company Ever since he has passed his graduation, he has been trying to get offcampus placement also but somehow he doesn't get selected Sometimes he is out after GD round ,sometimes after 1 or 2 rounds ,he doesn't get any answer from the concerned company Hence he is unemployed till now I am worried about his career, can you please guide as to what should he do to get placed soon Thanks
Ans: I think repeated failure enhanced his stress level and second thing is 24 X7 discussion about placement in home. Let him relax for seven days. You and other family members don't discuss about his placement hence onward. Let him improve his communication skill and see the style of giving a good interview from you tube videos. The most important thing is let him appear for the next interview very boldly with zero hope. That zero hope and boldness will bring a positive result. Apart from REDIFF GURU I do global counselling through social media. So be rest assured this medicine will work. Best of luck to your son. Just follow me. GOD BLESS HIM.

My son got 245 in bits .He can get any Brecht branch
Ans: Priyanka Madam, by now your son must have been allotted/not allotted any seat by BITS. Please update the status for today. However, please note, A BITSAT score of 245 situates you within the previous two years’ closing-score bands for core engineering streams at the Pilani, Goa, and Hyderabad campuses. At Pilani, the B.E. Chemical Engineering cutoff ranged from 224 in 2023 to 247 in 2024, placing your 245 close to the 2024 threshold and comfortably above 2023’s mark; B.E. Civil Engineering closed at 213 and 238, making admission highly probable; and B.E. Manufacturing Engineering cutoffs of 220 and 243 indicate a strong likelihood of allotment. At Goa, Chemical Engineering closed at 239 in 2024 and 248 in 2023, and Civil around – (not offered in 2024) – but Pilani-equivalent streams suggest safe admission; Manufacturing cutoffs mirror Pilani trends, bolstering your prospects. At Hyderabad, Chemical Engineering cutoffs of 238 and 209 over the two years ensure a secure allotment, while Civil Engineering’s 235–204 band similarly favors your score; Manufacturing at Hyderabad showed closing marks near 218–251, indicating moderate probability. Across campuses, Civil and Manufacturing remain reliably within reach, Chemical at Pilani may require waitlist movement but is feasible given historical fluctuations, and all three streams at Hyderabad and Goa present strong chances. Additional seats open during special iterations further enhance admit probabilities.

Recommendation: Considering consistent cutoff trends and seat matrices, prioritize B.E. Civil and Manufacturing Engineering at BITS Pilani for guaranteed allotment, consider Chemical Engineering at Pilani via waitlist movement, and secure Chemical, Civil, or Manufacturing Engineering at BITS Hyderabad or Goa for assured admission, capitalizing on slightly lower cutoffs and ample seat availability. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

I am working as Business Analyst from past 4 years but I wanted to move to technical role. I have done Btech in CSE from tier-3 college. I wanted some advise on the the best way to switch to a tech role. 1. Taking some online boot camp to get in-depth knowledge and doing side projects over the weekends 2. Taking WILP from BITS in Software engineering/ data science 3. Prepare from GATE 2026 and aim for IITs
Ans: Manjunath Sir, To shift into a technical position, integrating structured learning, credentialing, and practical experience is essential. The recommended pathway combines immersive project-based training with a recognized postgraduate credential while keeping a long-term goal of elite technical qualification. Begin with a part-time online software engineering or data science bootcamp, dedicating weekends to substantial portfolio projects to build hands-on skills and confidence in key stacks . Concurrently, enroll in BITS Pilani’s Work-Integrated M.Tech (Software Engineering or Data Science & Engineering) to earn a UGC-approved postgraduate degree without leaving your job, benefitting from weekend live classes, remote labs covering full-stack or analytics tools, and a final semester dissertation that bridges theory with organizational impact . This dual track—bootcamp plus WILP—provides immediate upskilling, peer and mentor networks, and a formal degree. After 12–18 months, if aiming for top-tier R&D or core engineering roles, commence GATE 2026 preparation via a structured three-phase roadmap: concept building (June–August), full-length practice (September–November), and final mock-test calibration (December–January), targeting a CSE rank
