Hello, I'm about to finish my third year in b.a. in economics, I want to earn money with a settled job for my parents. I'm confused rn, I want to prepare for SSC CGL, and earn good, but I fear of taking a gap after my graduation, since my college is very strict towards attendance and load is too much thus I don't want to go there again for my pg, idk if I should do private MBA or ma in economics or any other diploma in computer related or finance related course while simultaneously doing my preparation since I don't want to do nothing while sitting at home.(Btw I'm from Agra and it's getting hard for me to find good college where I can do my Master's in economics non-regular mode in reasonable fee)

Ans: Search thoroughly in net with more time, you will certainly find your solution. Best of luck. Professor.........................:)

Actually, I am 32 year male, unmarried and currently working in an Education Sector as a Content Manager/ Subject Matter Expert from the past 4 years. And, I did my BE in the year 2014 and since then I was preparing for UPSC civil services and even appeared in the interview but unfortunately didn’t tasted the success and join this industry on this basis. Whereas, I am got stagnated here and not getting much in term of salary or career growth and looking forward for doing MBA to switch my career field to analytics/Finance. I did Master in Public Administration in distance mode while I was preparing because this was my optional. Previous month, I took admission in Executive MBA from IIT Patna but unfortunately, its substandard in terms of quality and learning. I have certain doubts, Please let me help to come to the conculsion. Shall I go with the Full time MBA at 32 age by giving CAT/GMAT? Shall I opt for executive MBA from IIMs like Indore, Kashipur etc, here I have concern related to placements, considering 12 Lakh Fee? Shall I do 1 year full time PGP at IIM Indore, ISB or any good institutions for the change? Or shall I opt for CFA/FRM along with my IIT Patna Executive MBA? I am way behind my collogues and even not settled due to my UPSC unsuccessful attempts, I need to switch the filed. Please revert and help me out tin clearing my dilemma, I am really very confused right now.,
Ans: It is advisable to write GMAT and try to do Executive MBA from one of the good IIMs or XLRI. These colleges do have good placements and it could help your career. Usual requirement for these courses is minimum 5 years of work experience

Usict usar mait msit cse as backup with csab round for nits at iiits at 75k?
Ans: With a JEE Main rank of 75,000, admission prospects through CSAB rounds for NITs and IIITs remain minimal. The CSAB special rounds typically see cutoffs for IIITs closing around 40,000-65,000 for the general category across most branches, with newer IIITs occasionally extending to 70,000-80,000 ranks for less popular branches. Among Delhi colleges for CSE backup options, USICT recorded placement rates of 90% (2022) and 76% (2023), with 126 offers from 32 companies in 2024. MAIT Delhi shows strong performance with CSE cutoffs ranging from 37,928-47,478 (last round) and 1,075 total offers in 2024, achieving 703 UG placements with a median of ?6 LPA. MSIT Delhi delivered 541 student placements in 2024 with 118 recruiting companies, achieving 99% placement rates in CSE/IT branches in 2023. USAR is a newer campus under GGSIPU focusing on emerging fields like AI, ML, and automation, though placement data remains limited due to its recent establishment. All four colleges maintain active placement cells with major recruiters including Amazon, Microsoft, TCS, Infosys, and Google, offering competitive CSE programs under GGSIPU's centralized placement system.

Recommendation: Prioritize MAIT Delhi CSE for its proven track record and highest placement offers, followed by MSIT Delhi for consistent 99% CSE placements; consider USICT as a cost-effective government option with decent placement rates; explore USAR only if interested in specialized AI/ML fields despite limited placement history, while simultaneously applying to private colleges outside Delhi for better CSE prospects at your rank. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
