Hi Mayank,I am facing a dilemma. I have to choose between two job options -- the existing one and the new offer which I got some 15 days back.Currently, I am in the teaching field in a coaching institute which is in my native place where I live with parents (they don't want to move to a new place and I need to see them).I have another job offer in a metropolitan city which is very far from my native place (2,000 km). Though it is in a reputed institute, it is for the same teaching position.Now, I am confused as to whether I should continue in my present job or take up the new job.I love teaching and both jobs offer almost same salary and same position. But the opportunity for growth is better in the new company.At the same time, I don’t want leave my parents and they don't want shift with me to the new place.I am totally confused, please help me to decide.ThanksGeetu

Hi Geetu.

I think these specific inputs will help you take the right decision:

1. Many professionals are moving from metros to smaller towns for better quality of life.

2. Time with parents is invaluable.

3. Changing your job in these uncertain times is not advisable unless you are getting a dream job.

Your current roles seem to give you job satisfaction, market competitive salary and, above all, quality time with your family.

I would suggest that you make the most of it and continue with your current role.

Hi, i am facing finding job, i was into teaching earlier then switch to IT Recruiter, after spending 7 yrs in Staffing industry now i am facing challenge to find job so now i am doubting myself should i wait or get into studies as PHD in CSE or do MBA, as i am mtech in CSE. I am in so much confusion now.

Ans: The confusion is very much apparent here.

What is the end goal of PHD in CSE or doing an MBA?

Whats your ideal role? Try and finalize that and see what will get you closer to that goal?

PhD would take you back to academia while an MBA might take you to corporate.

Where do you want to spend the rest of your life?

Question by Bijay - Jul 08, 2025Hindi

Career

Sir, my son got, CSE in IIIT Bhagalpur which is Indian institute of information technology, under ppp mode with 50:35:15 , GOI, state govt and industry partnership. He also got CSE in IIIT bhubaneswar which state government funded institute. Which institute to join in terms of placement, studies. faculties, campus . Which institute tag hold greater value in long term job opportunities. Further he has the opportunity to get cse , in iiit kalyani, kottayam, ranchi if any upgradation to happen. Currently we are in floating mode, and will wait for last round. Can you please suggest for preference in order to freeze, among this 4 institute, or should we go for CSAB round , keeping the allotted seats. Kindly suggest since we need to take a decision within the time limit as per josaa schedule.

Ans: Bijay Sir, IIIT Bhagalpur’s CSE under the PPP model has rapidly emerged with a 95.4% placement rate in 2023, an average package rising to ?15.61 LPA, and a median of ?10 LPA, supported by strong GoI–state–industry collaborations, project-based learning and modern computing, AI/ML, and networking labs fostering research engagement. IIIT Kottayam, also in PPP mode, achieved an 83% placement rate in 2024 with a ?12.66 LPA average, backed by 86 recruiters, extensive AI/data science labs and industry-mentored internships for practical skill development. IIIT Kalyani’s CSE recorded an 89.33% placement rate and ?10.72 LPA average in 2024, with focused software engineering and cybersecurity labs, robust PhD-faculty mentorship, and growing research centres. IIIT Bhubaneswar, a fully state-funded IIIT, delivers a government-backed curriculum with specialized computing and networking infrastructure, but its CSE branch saw a 71% placement rate and ?9 LPA average in 2024, reflecting its nascent maturity compared to newer PPP institutes. Brand value and alumni networks at Bhagalpur and Kottayam are strengthening swiftly, while Kalyani offers balanced outcomes and Bhubaneswar promises stability under state funding.

For the strongest placement trajectory, industry partnership, and cutting-edge labs, the recommendation is IIIT Bhagalpur CSE. Next is IIIT Kottayam CSE for solid average packages and growing recruiter ties. Third, the recommendation shifts to IIIT Kalyani CSE for consistent outcomes and research focus. Lastly, IIIT Bhubaneswar CSE as a reliable state-funded option should upgrades not materialize. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
