Given that a student has a keen interest in working with ISRO, which would be a better option - Aerospace engineering (Delhi NIT) or Mechanical engineering (Delhi NIT)? Please give reasons/logic/support to your answer. I am confused as it is often told that Aerospace engineering is less-preferred/lower branch.

Ans: For a student interested in working with ISRO, both Aerospace Engineering and Mechanical Engineering at Delhi NIT (National Institute of Technology Delhi) can be good options. Aerospace Engineering would be the more specialized and directly relevant choice. It aligns closely with the core activities of ISRO and would provide targeted knowledge and skills for a career in space exploration. However, if the student values a broader education with versatile applications, Mechanical Engineering is also a strong option and can lead to opportunities at ISRO, especially with a focus on aerospace-related electives and projects.
The job market for Aerospace Engineers can be more limited compared to Mechanical Engineers, as it is closely tied to the aerospace and defense industries. These sectors may not have as many job openings, and employment can be more cyclical, depending on government contracts and economic factors. For that reason, Aerospace Engineering is sometimes perceived as a less-preferred or "lower" branch compared to Mechanical Engineering. There are many other factors

Hello sir ,I'm thinking of taking a drop but not for jee as it is not my cup of tea given I have 6months also I want to pursue cse and getting cse in top nit bit we need 99 98 97 percentile..which I don't think I can do if I see it practically i scored 40 percentile this year and 12th boards i scored 65% but I'm very keen to learn coding that's why I want to pursue cse engg from a good college I was thinking of taking a drop for comedk and viteee and cuet(just for options). And focusing entirely on fundamentals so I won't have any problem during my engg and comedk so that I can atleast do engg from bms and ramiah and all, is it a good option because I'm confirmed on taking a drop as I'm not getting a good pvt college this year and if I have to give jee then I have to give improvement too as I don't fulfill 75% criteria

Ans: Hello dear.
There are a lot of concerns regarding you. Here is the point-wise reply: (1) Do not take a drop for JEE. (2) Take admission to CSE in any reputed or tier 2 college via management quota to save one year. (3) As you are interested in coding, you can easily learn it with the CSE syllabus. (4) If you become an expert in coding and programming, you will get opportunities based on your skills, not based on the college or university from which you completed your UG course. (5) In life, nothing is impossible. You can learn anything through online or offline methods nowadays. So why take a drop? (6) Be confident in yourself. Success is within reach. There is plenty of evidence that candidates are working in top positions after completing their UG from tier 2 or tier 3 colleges in rural areas.
Best of luck.

Hi ma'am. I am b.com graduate, 33 yrs old lady. Due to personal reasons i did not go for job, sono work experience at all. But now i want to pursue some JOC courses or mba, to get a decent carrier in future...so can i get any jobs after pursuing, mba or any pgdm course at this age without any work experience? Please guide me asap ...i am confused.

Ans: One option would be to do short term job oriented course in the area of your interest like Digital Marketing or stock market or any other field and look for job in that area. While doing the job you can look for option of doing MBA. Doing MBA now may result in no placements opportunities because of no experience and age.
