Sir during our 4 years of engineering how can we develop our skills which are required for placements and future. Since AI Is developing day by day and is replacing humans which is reason for many people losing their jobs and in future very less number of jobs. Could you please tell how can we develop our skills independent on the engineering college in which we are studying

Ans: Take part in inter college events like hackathon that could help develop your skills in IT. Do courses in Data, AI, ML beyond what is taught in college. Also develop your personality by getting involved in extra curricular activities in college.

Sir during our 4 years of engineering how can we develop our skills which are required for placements and future. Since AI Is developing day by day and is replacing humans which is reason for many people losing their jobs and in future very less number of jobs. Could you please tell how can we develop our skills both dependent on college and independent on the engineering college in which we are studying
Ans: Skills to be Developed in College:
Strong Fundamentals: Master core subjects like programming (Python, Java, C++), data structures, algorithms, mathematics, and engineering principles.
Project-Based Learning: Take advantage of labs and project work—real-world applications will deepen your understanding and showcase your skills to recruiters.
Internships & Industry Exposure: Apply for internships, research opportunities, or collaborations with companies to gain practical experience.
Communication & Soft Skills: Being able to explain complex ideas clearly, work in teams, and present your ideas is crucial.
Campus Placements & Networking: Participate in career fairs, company recruitment drives, and workshops to get early exposure to employers.
Stay Updated on Technology: Follow trends in AI, cloud computing, cybersecurity, and blockchain. Sites like Coursera, Udemy, and edX offer great courses.
Develop Problem-Solving Skills: Participate in hackathons, coding competitions, and open-source projects. Websites like LeetCode, CodeChef, and HackerRank help sharpen problem-solving.
Build a Strong Portfolio: Work on independent projects, contribute to GitHub repositories, or develop apps and websites to showcase your work.

International Education Counsellor - Answered on Jun 26, 2025

Career
I am a retired professional with 35+ years of experience in cement industry and power electronics and embedded systems production.I am working as a freelance consultant.I am an electronics engineering graduate with experience in electrical and instrumentation in cement plants,in addition to power electronics and also emebedded systems production.I want to develop myself in AI.please guide me how shall I proceed ? Thanks.
Ans: Here’s a simple step-by-step path you can follow to get started in AI:
1. Start with Python – Since you have a technical background, learning Python will be easy. It’s the main language used in AI. Use beginner-friendly platforms like Coursera or Udemy.
2. Learn AI Basics – Begin with the basics of machine learning (ML), which is a core part of AI. A good course is Andrew Ng’s ML course on Coursera.
3. Explore Practical Tools – Learn tools like TensorFlow or PyTorch (for ML models) and basic data handling using Pandas and NumPy.
4. Focus on Projects – Try small hands-on projects like predictive maintenance (can relate to your industry), image recognition, or control systems using AI. This will bridge your domain knowledge with AI.
5. Join AI Forums or Groups – Connect with AI communities, maybe even ones for professionals in engineering fields. You’ll learn a lot from discussion and real problems.
6. Optional: Certifications – If you want formal recognition, go for AI certifications from IBM, Google, or Microsoft.
Since you’re already a consultant, you could eventually apply AI to industrial automation, fault detection, or predictive analytics in cement and power sectors.
Go step by step—don’t rush. Even 1 hour a day will help you grow steadily.

Dating, Relationships Expert - Answered on Dec 04, 2025

Asked by Anonymous - Dec 02, 2025Hindi
Relationship
My married ex still texts me for comfort. Because of him, I am unable to move on. He makes me feel guilty by saying he got married out of family pressure. His dad is a cardiac patient and mom is being treated for cancer. He comforts me by saying he will get separated soon and we will get married because he only loves me. We have been in a relationship for 14 years and despite everything we tried, his parents refused to accept me, so he chose to get married to someone who understands our situation. I don't know when he will separate from his wife. She knows about us too but she comes from a traditional family. She also confirmed there is no physical intimacy between them. I trust him, but is it worth losing my youth for him? Honestly, I am worried and very confused.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand how difficult it is to let go of a relationship you have built from scratch, but is it really how you want to continue? It really seems to be going nowhere. His parents are already in bad health and he married someone else for their happiness. Does it seem like he will be able to leave her? So many people’s happiness and lives depend on this one decision. I think it’s about time you and your BF have a clear conversation about the same. If he can’t give a proper timeline, please try to understand his situation. But also make sure he understands yours and maybe rethink this equation. It really isn’t healthy. You deserve a love you can have wholly, and not just in pieces, and in the shadows.

Hope this helps

IIT-JEE, NEET-UG, SAT, CLAT, CA, CS Exam Expert - Answered on Dec 04, 2025

Career
My son will be appearing for JEE Main & JEE Advanced 2026 and will participate in JoSAA Counselling 2026. I request clarification regarding the GEN-EWS certificate date requirement for next year. I have already applied for an EWS certificate for current year 2025, and the application is under process. However, I am unsure whether this certificate will be accepted during JoSAA 2026, or whether candidates will be required to submit a fresh certificate for FY 2026–27 (issued on or after 1 April 2026). My concern is that if JoSAA requires a certificate issued after 1 April 2026, students will have only 1–1.5 months to complete the entire procedure, which is difficult considering normal government processing timelines. Also, during current JEE form filling, students are asked to upload a GEN-EWS certificate issued on or after 1 April 2025, or an application acknowledgement. This has created confusion among parents regarding which year’s certificate will finally be valid at the time of counselling. I request your kind guidance on: Which GEN-EWS certificate will be accepted for JoSAA Counselling 2026 — a certificate for FY 2025–26 (issued after 1 April 2025), or a new certificate for FY 2026–27 (issued after 1 April 2026)?
Ans: Hi
You need not worry about the EWS certificate. Even if you apply for the next year's certificate on 1 Apr 2026, the second session of JEE MAINS will still be held, followed by JEE ADVANCED, which will be held in May. JOSAA starts in June. so you will have 2 months in hand for fresh EWS certificate.
