My daughter scored 87% with PCMB in 12th last year from Noida and she's dropout this year but she is not perform well in Neet. Even she scored half marks as compare to last year.As a parents we guide her to go to abroad for mbbs but she say that I continue do my preparation for neet and also do btech in biotechnology or chemical course based on biology subject and also she give jee exam and got 74 percentile . By this she will get good government college in these low level courses. But we totally confused what is the better option for her future? Please suggest us . And she also spend her most time in phone when we were not in home and she forgot her aim and always sleeping till 12 afternoon. We thought she forgot her aim when we send her abroad and also BTech is different branch for her. Sir please guide what we do for her?
Ans: Hi Mukesh,

I understand that you are feeling confused about your daughter's educational options, likely due to external influences. Don't worry—I can help clarify things for you. It seems that you are uncertain about which course she should pursue from the following options: MBBS (in other countries), engineering, or biotechnology.

Regarding MBBS: She has attempted the entrance exam twice but did not achieve satisfactory scores. Additionally, she seems to lose focus when you are not home, indicating that she might need more guidance and supervision. Therefore, I recommend against sending her abroad for MBBS, as she may face challenges such as cultural differences and adjusting to new foods. If your goal is for her to become a doctor, consider the BNYS program; there are many opportunities after completing the undergraduate degree (this is my first suggestion). Alternatively, she could retake the entrance exam. If she chooses this route, she should identify the subjects or chapters where she needs improvement and focus her studies there. Encourage her to develop study tips or tricks to enhance her performance (this is the second option).

If she is interested in engineering, her choice should be based on her marks and skills. If she opts for engineering, I suggest she enroll in a specialized course after her second year to align her skills with market demands (this is the third option).

For biotechnology, she should choose a medicine-related BTech program rather than one focused on botany, as the job market favors medicine-related fields more (this is the last option, but I am not recommending it strongly).

If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask.

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
