Question by vinod on Feb 12, 2025Hindi

Career

Sir with due respect, I would like to ask about my son’s education and career. right now he is writing his 12th board exams (PCMC in Mangalore) and he will write Karnataka State entrance exams also KCET. Please advise for his future which courses / degrees will be helpful to have a secured career. He is confused whether he should take Electronic and Communication or got for Software engineer with BE. Please advise in which the opportunities are more in his education line. Many thanks in advance. Vinod Kumar

Ans: Vinod Sir, both CSE and ECE are excellent choices. Even if he opts for ECE and later develops an interest in software, he can pursue relevant certifications to prepare for campus placements. Many software companies also hire ECE and students from other branches, so there’s no need to worry. The college and branch he gets into will ultimately depend on his KCET rank. All the Best for your Son's Prosperous Future. Follow RediffGURUS to Know More on 'Careers | Health | Money | Relationship'.

Career

My son is in class 11th. He scored 84.6% in his cbse class 10th exams. He scored 99/100 in maths and 74/100 in science. He has chosen PCM with English and physical education. He is interested in computers and wants to become software engineer.what other possible career options will be good for him? He is introvert and takes time to mix with people . Please suggest the roadmap and best coaching options also. Will it be ok to join the online coaching classes for JEE in this year ? Or after completing 12th class, should he take a drop for coaching?

Ans: Please note, (1) Taking a drop after 12th is not advisable. (2) As he is good in Maths, it is better to join at least Online JEE Classes (Allen or AhaGuru) if you are not able to afford for offline regular classes (3) He has to further improve in his Science (4) As he is introvert and interested in Computers / Software, Computer Science would be more suitable for him (5) However, to get admission into any reputed college (anywhere in India), he should score a decent Percentile / Rank in Competitive Exams. (6) Please prepare him for other competitive exams also such as your State Engineering Entrance Exams, COMEDK, SRMJEE, VITEEE, & also other Private Engineering Colleges' Entrance Exams (7) He should appear minimum 5-7 Entrance Exams to have more options open to choose the best one for him. (8) Please go through one of my answers to know about the practical preparation strategies for Entrance Exams. All the BEST for your Son's Bright Future.

Vikas Sir, Prefer VIT-AP, followed by KIIT. As suggested always, your daughter should keep upgrading her skills from 1st year itself till last year (campus recruitment) through NPTEL, Internshala, Coursera, LinkedIn etc. and / or any other online platforms for the same, recommended by her college faculties. All the BEST for your Daughter's Bright Future Sir.
