Hello sir, i am of 33 yrs currently working in banking industry. I would like to switch to software industry. Although i have zero knowledge and skill for software industry. Is it possible and how at this age?

Ans: I am an eternal optimist and given a will you can achieve your goal. Am assuming in your long banking career you have had exposure to computers at the very least or have had an opportunity to manage some software projects. You may consider yourself not direct programming jobs but for project management role. Talk to key people your organisation an discuss what opportunities you can explore within.

Hello sir .. which college is best between KJ SOMAIYA Vidhya vihar and NMIMS main campus for Engineering in Btech in CSE.plz advice us.
Ans: KJ Somaiya Vidyavihar (KJSCE) and NMIMS Mumbai Main Campus both offer strong BTech CSE programs with robust placement support, industry connections, and modern infrastructure. KJSCE is NBA-accredited, has academic autonomy, and consistently achieves 95–100% placement rates, with a median package of ?7.6–8 lakh and top recruiters like Amazon, Microsoft, Infosys, and Deloitte. The curriculum is industry-oriented, and the faculty is highly rated by students for teaching quality and mentorship. NMIMS Mumbai’s BTech CSE is NAAC ‘A’ grade accredited, offers specializations in AI, Data Science, and Cybersecurity, and provides excellent industry exposure through internships and projects, with a high placement rate and top recruiters such as Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and TCS. NMIMS emphasizes practical and interdisciplinary learning, but its program is newer than KJSCE’s and has a higher fee structure. Student reviews rate both colleges similarly for placements, faculty, and campus life, but KJSCE has a longer legacy and slightly better return on investment. The recommendation is to prefer KJ Somaiya Vidyavihar (KJSCE) for BTech CSE due to its established academic reputation, consistently high placement rates, experienced faculty, and value for money, unless you have a strong preference for NMIMS’s specialized curriculum or brand. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
