Sir,I have done MTech in Mechanical Engineering (Thermal) in 2019.After that I had worked in Ramco Cement for 2 years.Now preparing for government job after 2022 and also PhD.Kindly tell me government job or PhD will be best for me.

Ans: Ranjan, you have mentioned you started preparing for Govt. Jobs. But NOT mentioned, you have been targeting which Competitive Exams & have you appeared in any Competitive Exams during the last 2 years? How was your performance? Awaiting any results? Based on your preparation and / or the results you got (even if you could not get through), you can still try Govt. Jobs but you should manage your time properly and change your preparation strategies. If you feel, you still can try for Govt. Jobs, you can continue with that. Keeping in view your age factor, try for Govt. Job for an year by applying to some Competitive Exams. Have a Plan B also as a back-up. All The BEST for your Future, Rajan.

Ans: I fully empathize with your situation. Do focus on the positive of having completed BTech in Civil Engineering. Civil Engineering is the foundational engineering discipline and lends itself to use of new tools and technologies through use of of software to build structures using design elements that use newer materials to build infrastructure, homes, industrial townships that further sustainability. Use your current Tech Asstt job to learn about Oceanography as an added skills. Look at acquiring project management skills and explore opportunities with optimism and passion.

hi so in 4 days im giving my jee exam and havent prepared well at all my parents hv high hope on my but i started scoring very bad due to love trap and now i really wana get into gr8 college but all the teachers around me are so very unsupoortative i get cornered by them today also i fianted in class after coresspodent called my name as i scored low..im such a disappointment in life wt should i even do?
Ans: It can be hard to deal with such a lot of stress, especially when you don't have any help. Just try the following suggestions: If not a teacher, talk to a family member, friend, or even a psychologist. Putting your feelings into words can help lighten the load.
Take care of your body by getting enough rest, water, and small foods. Fainting is a sign that your body is under a lot of stress.
Breathing exercises: When you feel stressed, try taking deep breaths. It can calm you down. There is still time to change what you might not have done as you had hoped. Focus on getting better in key and scoring areas for the next four days, based on your past preparation. Stick to NCERT for inorganic chemistry. Here, you can study physical chemistry formulas and organic reactions. Do not try to be perfect right now. Pay close attention to making sure you cover enough. Some people around you may have let you down, but that doesn't mean they don't value you. One test doesn't completely describe your life. If JEE doesn't go as planned, there are still other ways to have a great job. Don't give up hope if it doesn't happen. You can always choose between state engineering schools, private universities, or taking a year off to get ready with more help. Even though things are hard for you right now, this is not how you will always feel. Even people who are very good at what they do have low points. Don't give up on yourself, even if you feel lost. You still need to do a lot of things. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future. Follow RediffGURUS to know more on 'Careers | Health | Money | Relationships'.
