Hello Sir, I am a 35 yr BE(CSE) Male working in Bangalore with 12.5 yrs experience in Embedded systems domain with not bad salary. I want to switch to my passion which is teaching in a non technical field. Based on my interest, I have come with below options. 1) A computer science / Maths teacher with BEd degree. Do I also require Bsc / Msc course for this ? If so, can I pursue via distance education mode ? 2) A Professor in a BEd College - I am aware that we need BEd, MEd, Phd. Assume I am doing them, do they even welcome a 45 yr fresher for that ? Is work experience as a teacher in schools required for those posts ? 3) A CAT quants coach - with good interest in maths, I want to know what are the institutes / coaching centres looking in such candidates. I have 3-5 years in hand before making switch. Kindly advise what are the efforts, how I may need to prepare for this change.

Ans: I consider the Embedded systems is meant for geniuses like you. The ESD industry is booming and will continue to grow with the emergence of EVs and all the appliances and devices getting built in India. I would encourage you to talk to a few Engineering Colleges in Bengaluru an see if you can deliver a few guest lectures. Once you gain confidence and success, consider running a full semester. This looks like the best of both worlds--that give you the job satisfaction and good salary from your ESDM job For industry professionals BEd etc are not needed. All the best.

Sir the kcet verification slip has been released now. But I have received my re evaluated cbse board marks now and there is an increment of 10 marks in PCM. Can I update my marks now and get a new rank somehow? And what is the procedure for that?
Ans: Yes, you can update your KCET application with your new CBSE marks after re-evaluation. However, whether it impacts your rank depends on the Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) rules and when your revised marks are released—especially in relation to the KCET counseling schedule.

Here's what you should do:
1. Check the KEA Website
Go to cetonline.karnataka.gov.in.

Look for any announcements or FAQs about:

Updating marks after re-evaluation.

Impact on KCET 2025 ranks and verification slip changes.

Check if they mention a process for submitting updated marks from other boards like CBSE.

2. Understand the Timeline
KCET Counseling Start Date:
If your updated CBSE marks come before KCET counseling begins, you’ll likely be allowed to update them.

CBSE Re-evaluation Timeline:
Re-evaluation takes time. Check CBSE’s website for expected timelines so you know when to expect your updated marks.

3. If Re-evaluation Results Come Before Counseling
Collect Documents:

Original CBSE mark sheet.

Revised mark sheet (after re-evaluation).

A copy of the re-evaluation confirmation (if available).

Contact KEA:

Use their official helpline or email (from their website).

Ask specifically how to update your marks in their system.

Follow KEA Instructions:

If allowed, KEA will give you exact steps—possibly uploading documents online or via a specific portal.

Rank Might Change:

If your updated marks are submitted in time, KEA may recalculate your rank using the new scores.

4. If Re-evaluation Results Come After Counseling
Spot Admissions or Special Rounds:

If regular counseling is over, you may not be able to change your application immediately.

However, you might be eligible for spot admissions or extra counseling rounds (if seats are still available).

Stay in Touch with KEA:

Contact them and ask whether your revised marks can still be considered in any remaining rounds.

5. General Tips
Don’t Assume Anything:
Always rely on official updates from KEA and CBSE. Don’t act on rumors or hearsay.

Keep All Records:
Save copies of your application, payment receipts, emails, and any mark sheets (old and revised).

Ask for Help if Needed:
If confused, talk to an education counselor or someone experienced with KCET admissions.
