Ans: IIM Sambalpur’s newly launched four-year fully residential B.S. in Data Science & Artificial Intelligence, aligned with NEP 2020, is offered by an Institution of National Importance, features a flexible entry–exit structure, and delivers a curriculum co-designed with industry leaders, blending mathematics, statistics, programming, AI, management and ethics through intensive lab sessions, coding bootcamps, live projects and internships; however, being the first cohort, placement track record is yet to be established and total tuition is ?25.97 Lakh. NIAT Hyderabad partners with Chaitanya (Deemed to be) University to award a UGC-recognised B.Tech in Computer Science with embedded AI/Data Science training, guided by IIT/IIIT alumni, uses an industry-reverse-engineered curriculum, provides an Industry-Ready Certificate (IRC), pan-India placement access across 3000+ hiring partners, and reports 400+ paid internships in the first semester with sustained real-world projects and mentorship teams on campus.

Recommendation: Given the premium fee and unproven placement outcomes at IIM Sambalpur versus NIAT Hyderabad’s established industry-focused pedagogy, pan-India placement network and early internship success, the recommendation is to opt for NIAT Hyderabad. If you prioritize a degree from an Institution of National Importance with a cutting-edge interdisciplinary curriculum and can accept placement uncertainty, consider IIM Sambalpur BS Data Science & AI. MY SUGGESTION: Prefer NIAT-H. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Hello dear.
Both options are strong and have brand value. They are difficult to compare. Favoring one seems unfair to the other. Still, prefer Amrita if possible. The final decision will be yours.
Good luck!

Ans: Choosing a career that balances passion with practicality requires examining the core skills, institutional quality, and future prospects in each field. Aviation demands strong aeronautical knowledge, excellent communication, quick decision-making, physical fitness, and situational awareness (make sure that you have all these skills); top DGCA-approved pilot training schools include Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Uran Akademi (IGRUA), Bombay Flying Club, and National Flying Training Institute, all offering modern fleets, simulators, experienced instructors, and 90–95% CPL pass-rates. Business careers require leadership, strategic thinking, quantitative analysis, communication, and adaptability; leading undergraduate BBA/BMS options are NMIMS Anil Surendra Modi School of Commerce, Christ University, and IIM Indore’s IPM, noted for NBA-accredited faculty, industry-integrated curricula, and 85–95% placement consistency. Environmental Science demands research methodology, data analysis, fieldwork, policy literacy, and sustainability mindset; premier UG programmes are at IISc Bangalore, JNU, and BHU with NAAC A+ ratings, interdisciplinary labs, mandatory internships, and 75–90% placement or postgraduate progression rates. Each discipline offers strong accreditation, faculty expertise, infrastructure, industry linkages, and placement frameworks.

Final recommendation:
To pursue your dream of becoming a pilot while addressing parental concerns, consider enrolling in a top DGCA-approved flight academy and demonstrate commitment through ground school success. As backup, prepare for top-ranked BBA programmes like NMIMS BBA, or B.Sc. Environmental Science at IISc, ensuring a versatile foundation and robust career support across fields. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
