Deepak Question by Deepak on Aug 21, 2025Hindi
Career

My son is getting CSE in JUIT Waknaghat Solan. He is also getting same in Chitkara University Chandigarh. Do suggest which is better. Career

Ans: Between JUIT Waknaghat (Solan) and Chitkara University (Chandigarh) for CSE, here’s the simple comparison:
• JUIT Waknaghat – Known for stronger academic environment, better peer group, and being part of the Jaypee group gives it more credibility. The alumni network is also helpful. Placement opportunities are good, especially for core and IT companies.
• Chitkara University – Has stronger industry tie-ups and generally more active placement drives with a wide range of companies visiting. It is more career-focused, but the academic rigor and peer quality may not be as strong as JUIT.
If you value academic reputation and long-term credibility, JUIT is a better choice.
If the goal is quick industry exposure and more placement opportunities, Chitkara may work well.
For a career in CSE, I would lean slightly towards JUIT Waknaghat because of its stronger brand value in the long run.

Sir, my son got CSE at GNDU Amritsar on JEE main score, and also offer from Chitkara & Chandigarh University. Which we should prefer
Ans: Parveen Sir, Guru Nanak Dev University (GNDU) Amritsar offers a solid Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) program with an average placement package around ?6.4 LPA and highest packages reaching approximately ?18.4 LPA. The university has around 70-75% placement rates with notable recruiters such as Infosys, TCS, Capgemini, and Deloitte. Chitkara University presents a strong placement record with about 93.8% overall placements and an average CSE package between ?7-9 LPA, attracting major recruiters including Adobe, Amazon, Deloitte, and Microsoft, with top packages crossing ?40 LPA. Chandigarh University leads with a higher scale of placements, reporting close to 90-95% placement rates for CSE, an average package of ?9.5 LPA, and top recruiters like Google, Microsoft, IBM, and Amazon. CU’s extensive recruiter network and higher placement volume stand out. Academically, all three maintain competent faculty, updated curriculum, and industry tie-ups, but CU’s scale and industry exposure are broader. GNDU offers a strong regional presence and government university benefits, Chitkara emphasizes quality industry linkage, and Chandigarh University boasts highest placement and diverse opportunities.

Recommendation: Prioritize Chandigarh University CSE for its superior placement percentage, average package, and recruiter diversity, providing broader career options and industry exposure. Consider Chitkara University next for balanced placements and reputed industry connections. Choose GNDU Amritsar for a well-established government university experience with decent placements and lower fees. The decision should align with your son’s career aspirations, budget, and preference for university type. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Tech Careers and Skill Development Expert - Answered on Dec 05, 2025

Career
Dear Sir, I did my BTech from a normal engineering college not very famous. The teaching was not great and hence i did not study well. I tried my best to learn coding including all the technologies like html,css,javascript,react js,dba,php because i wanted to be a web developer But nothing seem to enter my head except html and css. I don't understand a language which has more complexities. Is it because of my lack of experience or not devoting enough time. I am not sure. I did many courses online and tried to do diplomas also abroad which i passed somehow. I recently joined android development course because i like apps but the teaching was so fast that i could not memorize anything. There was no time to even take notes down. During the course i did assignments and understood the code because i have to pass but after the course is over i tend to forget everything. I attempted a lot of interviews. Some of them i even got but could not perform well so they let me go. Now due to the AI booming and job markets in a bad shape i am re-thinking whether to keep studying or whether its just time waste. Since 3 years i am doing labour type of jobs which does not yield anything to me for survival and to pay my expenses. I have the quest to learn everything but as soon as i sit in front of the computer i listen to music or read something else. What should i do to stay more focused? What should i do to make myself believe confident. Is there still scope of IT in todays world? Kindly advise.
Ans: Your story does not show failure.
It shows persistence, effort, and desire to improve.

Most people give up.
You didn’t.
That means you will succeed — but with the right method, not the old one.

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
