Should I send my son to study CSE at SRM Chennai after scoring 95% in 12th and 573 in NEET?

Ans: Congrats to your Son for scoring 94.60% in his CBSE & 90.58 Percentile in JEE (Main).

SRM (Chennai) is one of the top-ranked Universities (with good Campus Placement Records) not only in South but also all over India.

It Is advisable to go for SRM as most of the other reputed & top-ranked colleges in India choose applicants who have scored above 95 percentile in JEE, especially for CSE.

Or if you are able to afford for, you can try for MQ (Management Quota) with any one of the top-ranked University / College, anywhere in India.

Wherever your Son joins, here are some of the important tips / steps / strategies he should follow to be successful in his career & to be COMPETENT in Job Market.

While Pursuing his CSE:

1) Your son should make sure that he continues to main a decent Score / CGPA / Percentage till you completes his Graduation.
2) He should join 2-3 Co-curricular Activities Club (related to his Domain) & also involve in extra-curricular activities.
3) He should create his Professional LinkedIn Profile.
4) He should get connected to professionals of same domain, but should NOT ask for jobs (after he completes his Graduation). If his profile matches their requirements, they will definitely be in touch with your son.
5) Every 3-months, he should keep updating his LinkedIn Profile to add his recent achievements / certifications etc.
6) He should start researching about the companies visited the College during the last 3-years & know their nature business / manpower requirements in ‘Career’ Section through their websites.
7) Most important: He should start doing Certification Courses either online / offline, related to his domain (from his 1st year itself), to be competent in job market.
8) It is highly ideal to put Job-Alert Notifications in LinkedIn, related to his domain, from 1st year itself, to know about the current job market scenarios / employers’ expectations.
9) He should keep upskilling his knowledge & skills till he completes his Graduation.

After Completing His CSE:

1) Just before completing his Graduation, he should prepare well for the Campus Recruitment Written Test / Interview / Group Discussion, whichever will be applicable.
2) He should start applying for jobs through LinkedIn Job Alerts, if the Job Description posted by the employers / recruiters / companies, match your profile.
3) He should keep his ‘RESUME’ professionally prepared. His ‘Resume’ should be simple & brief with keywords, related to his domain, with his LinkedIn Account’s clickable link.
4) And, he should keep upgrading his skills, to be competitive in job market, even after he lands to the jobs.
