I've done my btech mechanical and in 8th sem I've started as quality engineer in a medium scale industry. I'm planning to continue this job for 8 months and then I'll quit the job and willl start preparing for competitive or govt exam, is this a good idea ?

Ans: Hello Priyam
Prefer CSE @ SRM KTR if possible.
Best of luck.
Follow me if you like the reply. Thanks

Ans: Congratulations to your daughter — scoring 98% in 12th and 470 in NEET is no small achievement. She has worked hard, and it clearly shows.
since her NEET score may not be enough for a government MBBS seat under general category, and she’s not willing to take another drop, it’s wise to explore other good options.
If she wants to completely shift to MPC stream and try for IISc or engineering, it's possible — but she must be very sure. Learning higher-level Maths after BIPC is not easy unless she’s truly interested and ready to put in a year of effort just for the change.
Also, IISc Bangalore is highly competitive — even students from MPC struggle to get in. So this option should be chosen only if she has a deep interest in math and science research.
Best Alternative Career Options After BIPC (Without Dropping Again):
1. BPharm / PharmD – Good scope in pharma companies, research, or higher studies abroad.
2. BSc (Life Sciences / Biotechnology / Microbiology / Genetics) – Leading to research, ICMR, CSIR, MSc, or jobs in labs/industries.
3. BSc Nursing – High demand in India and abroad. Solid career path with good job security.
4. Allied Health Sciences (Physiotherapy, Radiology, Optometry, etc.) – Excellent demand in hospitals and private sector.
5. BAMS / BHMS / BPT – Alternative medicine but well-established options.
6. BSc Food Technology / Nutrition / Agriculture – Also growing fields with research, government, and industry jobs.

Ans: I understand this is a very emotional and difficult decision for the family — and I truly appreciate your honesty.
On one hand, your daughter has a dream opportunity at Ludwig Maximilian University (LMU), one of the top universities in the world for research and science. On the other hand, the family is going through challenges — emotional, mental, and financial — and that is completely valid.
Your daughter is not interested in Lovely Professional University, and it’s clear that her heart is set on meaningful research, which LMU can give. Forcing her into a PhD she’s not motivated for may not work in the long run — especially with the stress that comes with a PhD program.
What you can consider:
• Talk openly with her
• Explore scholarships:
• Delay by 6–12 months
• Look for middle ground.

Ans: If your daughter has applied to University of Wroclaw in Poland for Biotechnology, here are a few things to consider:
Studying in Poland (University of Wroclaw):
• It’s a well-known public university in Europe, with a long history and decent research output.
• She’ll get global exposure, experience a new culture, and may have opportunities in EU-based research or master's programs later.
• But placements or job opportunities right after a bachelor's in Europe can be limited unless she plans to do a master’s there too.
• She’ll need to be independent, adjust to a new environment, and manage some costs even if tuition is low.
Studying in India (SRM, Christ, etc.):
• More comfortable, close to home, and easier to adjust.
• Biotechnology in India is a growing field, but research or job opportunities may not be very strong after just a bachelor's — higher studies (MSc or abroad) are usually needed.
• Colleges like SRM or Christ offer decent labs, but placements in biotech are still limited compared to IT or business fields.

Ans: If we look at PES University, MSRIT, and BMSCE, all three are top colleges in Bangalore, especially for computer-related branches, but PES has an edge in CSE placements and discipline, MSRIT has a strong legacy and industry links

Final Priority Suggestion (Combined College + Branch):
1. CSE – PES
2. CSE – MSRIT
3. CSE – BMSCE
4. ISE – PES
5. ISE – MSRIT
6. CSE (AI/ML/Data Science) – PES or MSRIT
7. ISE – BMSCE
8. CSE sub-branches – BMSCE

Ans: Between Manipal University Jaipur and SRM University AP, both are upcoming private universities, but there are some key differences that can help you decide based on what matters most.
SRM University – AP
• Faculty & Labs: Good focus on research, AI/ML, and some international collaborations (with UC Berkeley, MITx, etc.). Labs are modern and industry-oriented.
• Internships & Exposure: Since it’s located near Amaravati, it has strong focus on tech and innovation. They actively support internships and student projects.
• Placements: For CSE, the university is putting in a lot of effort. Some top companies like Amazon, Infosys, etc., have started coming, and a few students have received high packages too.
• Overall: SRM AP is newer but aggressive in building its brand, especially for CSE.
Manipal University – Jaipur
• Faculty & Labs: Well-established campus with decent faculty and good infrastructure.
• Internships: Slightly less aggressive compared to SRM AP but still offers industry exposure. Location-wise, not as close to tech hubs, but opportunities are there if the student is proactive.
• Placements: Consistent placements for CSE, but average packages may be slightly lower than what SRM AP is trying to achieve.
• Overall: A more stable, structured environment with a longer track record.

Ans: Yes, BSc Economics at Symbiosis School of Economics (Pune) is a good course. It’s well-structured and has gained a strong reputation over the years.

Opportunities After the Course
• Higher Studies: Many students go for Master's in Economics, Public Policy, Finance, or Data Analytics — in India or abroad.
• Jobs: Entry-level roles in research, data analysis, consulting firms, finance companies, and NGOs.
• Exams: If she’s interested, she can also prepare for UPSC, RBI Grade B, or other competitive exams — where economics is a big advantage.

Ans: Congratulations to your son on getting admission to such good colleges.
Since the branch is CSE in all three, here’s a simple comparison based on what most parents and students look for:
PES University – RR Campus (Bangalore)
• Placements: One of the best in Bangalore. Strong industry connections. Top companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and Infosys do visit.
• Academic Rigor: Quite structured and disciplined. Good faculty and regular exams.
• Clubs & Exposure: Has some good tech clubs and coding events, though overall student life is more academic-focused.
• Post-Grad Prospects: Good alumni network, many students go abroad or into top MNCs.
Manipal Institute of Technology – Udupi Campus
• Placements: Very decent, especially for CSE. Average packages slightly lower than PES, but big companies do come.
• Clubs & Campus Life: Very vibrant. Excellent tech, innovation, and cultural clubs. Great all-round student life.
• Academics: Flexible curriculum, choice-based credit system.
• Post-Grad Prospects: Strong reputation globally. Good number of students go abroad for MS.
Manipal – Bangalore Campus (MITB)
• Still relatively new, so placements and campus infrastructure are still developing.
• Might not have the same exposure or club culture yet as the Udupi campus.
• But it’s in Bangalore — so internships and tech exposure can be better if the student is proactive.

Ans: I understand your situation — your health and personal comfort are very important, and it’s good that you’re looking for colleges closer to home in Bangalore.
It’s also great that Reva University and Ramaiah University have accepted your transfer, but yes, the fees in private universities can sometimes be on the higher side. Since you’re looking for more affordable options, here are a few suggestions you can explore:
1. Government or Government-Aided Colleges (VTU-affiliated)
These usually have much lower fees compared to private universities. Some colleges you can look at:
• BMS College of Engineering (autonomous, but more reasonable)
• Dr. Ambedkar Institute of Technology
• RV Institute of Technology & Management (not RVCE, this is the newer one)
• Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering (DSCE) – Fee is still lower than universities like Ramaiah.
• Siddaganga Institute of Technology, Tumkur – Slightly outside Bangalore but still a good option.
2. Colleges under VTU (Visvesvaraya Technological University)
