Sir, I had a question regarding placements. I've 3 year gap after 12th as I was preparing for NEET & aiming for a gov mbbs college..but unfortunately couldn't make it. Now I'm planning to switch to Btech in computer science through state entrance exam. Will this 3-year gap after 12th affect my placements in future? Do companies reject candidates solely because of such gaps? Im fully commited to working hard, building strong technical skills and doing internships to gain experience. I just want to understand if this gap will be a major issue during placements oncampus or offcampus & how can I overcome it effectively.

Ans: HI,
There will be an impact while appearing for the recruitment. When forwarding the resume, the recruiter will ask for details about any gaps. While filling out the application, you should mention that you did not have any gaps, but spent the time preparing for competitive exams.
They believe the gap is caused by failure in semester exams.
THIS IS SUFFICIENT.

My ward got All India Rank 171092 (89%ile) (general male) in JEE Mains. From West Bengal. He is looking for Mechanical, Robotics, Mechatronics or other related branches with good education and prospects for abroad MS.
Ans: With a CRL around 1.71 lakh, as a General male from West Bengal Home State, getting Mechanical at IIEST Shibpur or NIT Durgapur through regular JoSAA is unrealistic since in 2024 IIEST Shibpur Mechanical (HS Open) closed at rank 34,075 and NIT Durgapur Mechanical (OS Open) at 26,917. Admission to IIITs is even less likely because most do not offer Mechanical-related branches and are more competitive. JoSAA’s (opening & closing ranks) archive is the best source to review 2022–2024 trends. More feasible options include CSAB Special Rounds, selected GFTIs, and some newer or lower-demand NIT core branches if vacancies arise, such as Mechanical or Production Engineering at NIT Agartala and Mechanical at BIT Mesra. For pursuing MS abroad, focus on Mechanical, Production, or Materials at the best institute available, then build a strong CGPA, project experience, skills in CAD, controls, robotics, internships, and research. Between college reputation and niche branch, college quality combined with academic performance matters more. Also consider WBJEE counseling and good private colleges as solid backup options instead of relying only on JoSAA/WBJEE. ALL the BEST for Your Ward's Prosperous Future!
