My son entering into 3rd semester Bio informatics . What is the scope of bioinformatics india

Ans: I have often answered this question. IT and Bio Sciences together have played a significant role in changing our lives. I see more reliance on Bio Sciences in the years to come. Let your son talk to his college placement office and get inputs on the kind of companies that come to hire their students, the kind of job opportunities available. The scope in this field is equally dependent on students who are serious, committed and passionate about learning, researching and gaining internship experience. My one line advice would be become an all rounder, excel in studies, sports, research, extracurricular activities. just ensure you put in your best and emerge as an outstanding students.

My son has scored 92.4 percentile in JEE Main, and with Uttarakhand domicile, he has 95% in his 12th board exams. What will his rank be, and where can he get admission?

Ans: Hello Kalpana.
In the JEE scorecard, the rank is also mentioned. You did not mention the category. Assuming you are from GC, with the mentioned score, the chances are few for getting a seat in top-tier NITs; however, do keep hope for tier-2 NITs. There are possibilities for your son in IIITs for computer-related branches.

How can a government b.sc nursing 3rd semester student can start earning?

Ans: Hello Dinesh.
You are in the 3rd semester, and your degree is your long-term investment. Hence, prioritize it with time management and health. It is not recommended to divert our attention from study to earning. Suggestion: (1) Work as a part-time Healthcare in a nursing unit (2) Work with local NGOs, health camps (3) Work as a pharmacy assistant in medicine dept/shops/industries (4) Work as a freelancer (Non-clinical skills) i.e., Medical content writing, Transcription, Data entry or virtual assistant work etc. (5) work as a volunteer in NGOs or small hospitals.

Hello Sir, My son has secured 95% percentile in JEE mains, his JEE advance is pending, In the meantime he has got offer from Thapar for computer engineering.. counselling for Manipal is pending. Last date to secure seat at Thapar is 23rd which is a costly option. What should I do ?. Should I wait for other options to present itself. I belong to Delhi Home state. Which is better Manipal, Thapar or MAIT.

Ans: Hello Atul
It would be an injustice to each other to suggest one of the aforementioned options. All are good. You have to choose according to your financial conditions. Yet you can go with either Manipal or MAIT from a cost point of view.As you said you belong to Delhi, the better option for you will be MAIT.

Question by RAVI - May 15, 2025

Career

I am Ravi. I am 32 currently teaching aspirants for competitive exams in my small coaching setup where income is very less. I have done Bachelors in Eco Hons in 2013 and Masters in Defence in 2019. I want to enter into corporate for which I thought Full time 2 years MBA as a pathway. Wrote XAT, got interview calls from some decent colleges but in GDPI, my age gap became an issue always. I was also told that my CV shortlist chances will be very low during campus placements. Only one college gave me their non core program but getting negative response from many sides I am sceptical of my placement as batch size is also very big. It's a big investment of time and money too. I will be 34 during placements. Deep down my heart now I really want to work now rather than only again classroom study. I started working only in 2022. I want to ask if there's anyway I can get corporate job while pursuing online MBA or any other relevant certification? Or taking risk of expensive full time MBA? Many people have told me to go for Executive MBA but I don't have enough relevant experience

Ans: One option is to start teaching on your own. Second would be to try and get a corporate job by doing some short term job relevant courses and then doing executive mba after wokring for a few years or doing part time / online mba. Doing a full time MBA in your case may not be worthwhile as age is not on your side and you do not have enough relevant work ex to justify your gap.

Question by Lalit - May 16, 2025

Career

What would be a good choice for a Computer Science engineer with 3 years of experience in data management / reporting in a large Indian private bank? Choices are post-graduation in: 1. Information Management in S P Jain (full time 2 years) 2. Operations & Supply Chain Management in IIM Mumbai (full time 2 years) Both post-graduation topics are of equal interest and both institutes are highly reputed, hence the dilemma. There is little or no background in Operations and Supply Chain Management while past education and work experience is related to IT / Data Management. Kindly advise.

Ans: Both the colleges are good and the courses you have mentioned in each are supposed to be among the best in the field. I would be a little inclined towards IM @ SP Jain as you have relevant work experience and you have no specific inclination.
