Dear Sushil ji, My son is doing Computer Science from VIT vellore and is 3rd Year Student. Please advise whether he should go abroad for the Masters and location whether Germany will be advisable . Kindly provide the input .
Ans: Hello Sanjay,

To begin with, thank you for contacting us. Your son’s future ambitions, financial status, and personal choices, play a key role in deciding if he should travel overseas to pursue a Master’s degree in Computer Science, and if Germany is a favorable study destination. When deciding, take into account the following factors:
1. Career Objectives: Consider if your son has set career ambitions that can be accomplished by studying a master's degree abroad.

2. Academic Prowess: An exceptional academic record can enhance your son’s chances of getting into prominent foreign universities. Take into account his academic success in the program he is currently pursuing.

3. Financial Condition: Studying overseas can be a costly affair. Investigate your financial capacity and the costs related with studying in Germany or any other country. Look into the available scholarships, financial aid, and part-time work opportunities.

4. Choosing Programs and Universities: Conduct extensive study and pick programs and universities that resonate with your son’s educational and professional interests. Search universities that have robust Computer Science departments and research possibilities.

5. English Language Competency: Although there are a few English-taught courses, Germany mainly offers programs in the German language. You on studying in Germany or any other non-English-speaking country, make sure he possesses the required language abilities.

In addition, your son should get to know the visa and immigration prerequisites for the country he intends studying in. For instance, Germany has a fairly simple student visa procedure for international students. Enhanced networking possibilities are offered in the tech sector by some countries over others. Investigate the labor market and links your son can form during the duration of his Master’s course. Also, take into consideration if your son is ready for the societal and cultural changes that come with pursuing overseas education. This involves adjusting to a new setting, building friendships, and getting to know the local culture. Look into the available post-study employment opportunities in the country you have chosen to study in. Taking into account both, the cost of studying and the long-term professional advantages, consider the possible ROI (Return on Investment) of pursuing a master's degree overseas.

Owing to its exceptional system of education, research possibilities, and a friendly environment for international students, Germany can be a top option to pursue a Master's in Computer Science. To make an educated choice, carefully examine each factor and get in touch with career counselors and academic consultants. Your son should also examine particular programs and universities in Germany to make sure that match his objectives and interests.

Sir my son is CSE graduate and having one year exp.need to study MS in foreign countries,can you pl suggest which country is best and economical,
Ans: Hello Annamalai,

First and foremost, thank you for getting in touch with us. To answer your question first, I would like to tell you that Germany is a great option for a Computer Science Engineering (CSE) graduate looking for an affordable yet top-notch MS program overseas. Outstanding education in computer science and engineering with cheap or no tuition fees is offered by universities in Germany, particularly public universities. Moreover, Germany boasts a strong technology sector and a dynamic labor market which can offer excellent job opportunities following graduation.

Canada, renowned for its first-rate education and comparatively economical tuition in comparison to the United States, is another feasible choice. Universities in Canada offer robust computer science programs and the nation’s friendly immigration laws may make it simpler for graduates to remain and find employment post the completion of their education. I would like to let you know that excellent value for money as well as opportunities for professional growth in the technology sector are offered by both the nations.

You can also get in touch with us and our team of expert counselors will provide information on MS programs in several other countries like the USA, the UK, Australia, among many others.

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

IIT-JEE, NEET-UG, SAT, CLAT, CA, CS Exam Expert - Answered on Dec 04, 2025

My son will be appearing for JEE Main & JEE Advanced 2026 and will participate in JoSAA Counselling 2026. I request clarification regarding the GEN-EWS certificate date requirement for next year. I have already applied for an EWS certificate for current year 2025, and the application is under process. However, I am unsure whether this certificate will be accepted during JoSAA 2026, or whether candidates will be required to submit a fresh certificate for FY 2026–27 (issued on or after 1 April 2026). My concern is that if JoSAA requires a certificate issued after 1 April 2026, students will have only 1–1.5 months to complete the entire procedure, which is difficult considering normal government processing timelines. Also, during current JEE form filling, students are asked to upload a GEN-EWS certificate issued on or after 1 April 2025, or an application acknowledgement. This has created confusion among parents regarding which year’s certificate will finally be valid at the time of counselling. I request your kind guidance on: Which GEN-EWS certificate will be accepted for JoSAA Counselling 2026 — a certificate for FY 2025–26 (issued after 1 April 2025), or a new certificate for FY 2026–27 (issued after 1 April 2026)?
Ans: Hi
You need not worry about the EWS certificate. Even if you apply for the next year's certificate on 1 Apr 2026, the second session of JEE MAINS will still be held, followed by JEE ADVANCED, which will be held in May. JOSAA starts in June. so you will have 2 months in hand for fresh EWS certificate.
