I have been given verbal confirmation of a job by the director of the company. However, it has been a month since and I have not reeived my offer letter. I have contacted the company numerous times and they say that the HR has left the company due to medical reasons and so the delay. My joining is said to be from May. Now what should I do?

Ans: Hello Arjun
1. There must be someone officiating as HR. Try to contact them
2. If required, you may speak to the Director directly since he/she gave the confirmation
3. If possible, you may personally visit the office & meet the relevant person
All the Best !!

I am looking for a job. I have completed the interview & HR told as selected, offered the final salary. HR told will come up with next formalities of joining & told need to go for a medical check up which they will inform. I had gone through a consultant so HR told will reply back through consultant. Almost 3 weeks completed still not got any updates. Consultant is telling that he is following with HR regarding joining formalities. I have paid him a lot. Consultant has given receipt for each and every payment I have done. I am really confused to wait or not.

Ans: Dear Sir/ Madam,

Few options-
one speak to the consultant and understand why is it taking so long
Second check the contract you had with the consultant what is the way thru in such situations. for example- will they give the money back or any other adjustment is there.
Third- send an email to HR directly ccing the consultant and ask them that you haven't heard for three weeks and if the offer is still valid. Reason out by saying you need to resign basis the confirmation of the offer.
Fourth- keep exploring and tell the consultant as the money has been paid he should help you with more opportunities
Fifth- Please do not pay any money to consultants unless there is a documented contract clearly defining the if's and but's

Hope this helps

Career

I received joining letter from TCS in September 2024 due to incompletion of the course i rescheduled it and now it's been 6 months still didn't received any joining letter from TCS what should I do

Ans: Hello Amulya.
As early as possible, you reach out to your TCS HR representative to inquire about the status of your onboarding and request an update on your joining date either by email or by telephone conversation, if you know the contact number. You mentioned that you did not complete the course when you received the joining letter. Have to informed TCS that you have completed the course on time? If not, please inform them earliest. Even after informing to HR TCS in this regard, and after rescheduling, if you are not getting any response, then consider escalating the issue to a higher authority within TCS HR.
Here are a few suggestions- (1) Send a professional email politely requesting an update on your joining date and the reason for the delay. (2) Clearly mention your original joining date, the reason for rescheduling, and the current date. (3) Log in to the TCS career portal to see if there are any updates regarding your onboarding process. (4) Keep continuous follow-up with the HR team without irritation.
If satisfied, please like and follow me.
If dissatisfied with the reply, please ask again without hesitation.
Thanks.

I take 2 partial drop with pursuing plain bsc I was preparing for NEET exam but I wasn't serious the way I should be and wasted whole two years now I am not able to understand what to do I am not able to see anything about my career after bsc I don't understand what to do

Ans: Ansika, Feeling lost after a partial drop and NEET preparation is common, but a BSc degree opens a wide array of career paths across science, healthcare, technology, data, and even management sectors. You can pursue higher studies such as an MSc for specialization in your field, MCA for a strong IT career, or an MBA to transition into business roles. Direct job opportunities after BSc include research assistant, lab technician, data analyst, clinical research associate, teacher, or roles in industries like pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and environmental science. Government sectors like forest services, agriculture, railways, and hospitals also recruit BSc graduates for technical and administrative roles. If you are unsure of your interests, consider a psychometric test to identify your strengths and aptitudes, or seek guidance from a career counselor to align your skills with emerging opportunities. Explore internships or short-term certifications to gain practical experience and confidence in your chosen field. Focus on your strengths, stay open to diverse opportunities, and remember that many successful professionals started with uncertainty—your BSc is a valuable foundation for multiple rewarding careers. All the BEST for your Prosperous Future!

Sor my son hv jee crl 556659 delhi home state.he got 86.7% in 12th. How to proceed ..?? I wish if some decent branch i get in delhi or ncr of delhi region.. Pls guide..

Ans: With a JEE Main CRL of 556,659 (Delhi Home State) and 86.7% in Class 12, admission to DTU, NSUT, or IGDTUW for core engineering branches is unattainable, as their 2024 cutoffs for even less competitive branches like Civil Engineering closed below 150,000 ranks . However, Delhi Skill and Entrepreneurship University (DSEU) may offer Mechanical Engineering or Mechatronics in later counseling rounds, with 2024 cutoffs reaching 149,556 for Home State candidates . Private universities like Amity Noida (via 80%+ board marks) or Sharda University (direct admission) provide options for ECE/Mechanical with flexible eligibility. Additionally, Jamia Millia Islamia’s B.Tech in Civil Engineering (2024 cutoff: 256,264) could be accessible through special rounds or category adjustments . Prioritize DSEU’s non-CSE branches during JAC Delhi counseling and explore private institutes leveraging 12th marks for admission. All the BEST for your Son's Admission & a Prosperous Future!

I am getting 54 marks in comedk, which clg and branch would I be getting?

Ans: With 54 marks in COMEDK (expected rank 36,001–43,000), admission to core branches like CSE/ECE in top colleges (RVCE, MSRIT, BMSCE) is unattainable, as their cutoffs typically close below 15,000 ranks. However, you can secure Mechanical, Civil, or Industrial Engineering in mid-tier private colleges like Dr. Ambedkar Institute of Technology (Mechanical), Srinivasa Institute of Technology (Civil), or East Point College of Engineering (Electrical), which accept ranks up to 40,000–50,000. These institutions, while lacking premium placements, provide decent infrastructure and regional industry connections. During counseling, prioritize lower-demand branches in colleges like New Horizon College or Maharaja Institute of Technology, and remain flexible with category upgrades if seats open in subsequent rounds. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

My son scored JEE main rank 15256 with OBC-NCL and 51648 with CRL category from Tamilnadu. Which NIT/IIIT will be available for him. Preference course is CSE. But we can consider other courses if the college is highly reputed one. Please advice Thanks

Ans: Suresh Sir, Have Sathyabhama | Karunya | Hindustan | Sastra | SSN-If Fee is afforable for MQ Seat as back-up options. Regarding your question, please note, With a JEE Main OBC-NCL rank of 15,256 and CRL rank of 51,648, your son’s prospects for CSE in top NITs like Trichy (OBC cutoff: ~369) or Warangal (OBC cutoff: ~629) are unlikely, but he can secure CSE (AI) at IIITDM Kancheepuram (OBC cutoff: ~29,998) or CSE at newer IIITs like IIITDM Jabalpur (OBC cutoff: ~5,741–17,195) if seats remain in later counseling rounds. For reputable NITs, consider Mechanical Engineering at NIT Calicut (OBC cutoff: ~4,185) or Production Engineering at NIT Trichy (OBC cutoff: ~8,996), which offer strong institutional reputation and ~80–90% placement rates. Prioritize IIITDM Kancheepuram’s CSE (AI) during JoSAA counseling for tech-focused curriculum, and include NIT Trichy/Warangal’s non-CSE branches as alternatives balancing branch flexibility and institutional prestige. All the BEST for your Son's Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Hi sir, I'm interested in doing structural engineering in civil engineering in m tech in VIT chennai. I got 3000 rank in VITMEE exam is it good decision to join in Chennai vit and what about placement opportunities in structural engineering especially in VIT chennai sir

Ans: Singamala, With a VITEEE rank of 3,000, admission to VIT Chennai’s Structural Engineering (M.Tech) is feasible, as the cutoff for Category 1 in core civil branches typically extends beyond 15,000 ranks. However, placement opportunities for Structural Engineering at VIT Chennai are limited, with only 50–60% of M.Tech students securing core roles, as per student reviews. While the university’s overall placement rate exceeds 80% for tech branches, structural engineering graduates often transition to software roles or pursue higher studies due to fewer core-sector recruiters. The program’s curriculum aligns with industry standards, offering research and project opportunities, but aspirants targeting specialized structural engineering careers should prioritize institutes with stronger industry ties in civil domains. Opt for VIT Chennai if interdisciplinary flexibility and the VIT brand matter, but explore NITs/IITs for dedicated core placements. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

My daughter just passed cbse 10, we are OK with her marks as she never studies but still scored decent marks, the issue is she doesn't listen, disrespect and always on phone playing free fire and talking on phone with boys

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
The virtual world is very exciting as it does not need any direct interactions with other humans and anyone can lose their way in this maze.
So, if you want her to be off gadgets, see that she is focused on sports or anything that will keep her active...as a family go on picnics, treks/hikes so that she realizes that being off the phone need not be boring and can be interesting as well..,
Having said that, she's at that age where her hormones can be all over the place, so talk to her more and listen to her more...she will possibly also talk to you about boys and learn from you on how to safely interact with them. Be open with your communication, you will see a change slowly!

I've been married for 19 years. We live in a joint family with my husband and in-laws. Since last year, my father has recently become bedridden and needs constant care. Since he lives in another city, I have been travelling constantly to take turns to attend him. I want to bring him to our home, but my mother-in-law strongly objects saying they will lose their privacy. My husband tries to mediate but often ends up siding with his mother, saying she's getting old too. I am not able to decide being a daughter and a daughter-in-law. Is it unfair of me to expect support for my father, or am I compromising too much in this marriage?

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
You surely are walking on a thin rope trying to balance both sides...it seems unfair, yes!
What I can suggest to you is: Find out what exactly is your mother-in-law's concern? What does she mean by 'lose their privacy'?
Usually, these statements are just reactionary to a much deeper concern. Try to address what bothers her; it could be as simple as your attention moving away from home and other responsibilities...she may possibly feel awkward being around your father...all these facts get masked under broad statements which to you may seem like excuses...so instead of playing this dance being the daughter and daughter-in-law, dig out more information, so that you can address concerns and not the reactions from them.

All the best!

Sir my son get 83% in state board PCM. Which course better vit integrated course and possible category 1,2,3

Ans: With 83% in PCM from a state board, your son meets the 65–70% eligibility threshold for VIT’s Integrated M.Tech programs across campuses (Vellore/Chennai: 70%, AP/Bhopal: 65%), making him eligible for courses like CSE (Data Science) or Software Engineering. Category allocation (1–5) depends on merit-based 12th marks ranking, where higher PCM scores secure lower fee categories. While exact cutoffs fluctuate yearly, 83% typically falls within Category 2–3 (annual fees: ?1.59–1.92 lakh at Vellore), offering moderate fee concessions compared to Category 4–5. Prioritize VIT Vellore/Chennai for stronger academic infrastructure and placement networks, though admission certainty in these campuses requires higher PCM scores (≥85% for Category 1). If budget permits, Category 2–3 in AP/Bhopal provides balanced affordability and program quality, while maintaining backup options in emerging specializations. All the BEST for your Son's Admission & a Prosperous Future!
