Career

Dear Dr. Natarajan, I am a software engineer working at a mid-sized IT services company in Bengaluru. I graduated two years ago and have been primarily working on legacy systems, maintaining existing codebases. While I've learned a lot about debugging and understanding complex systems, I feel my skills might be becoming outdated. I'm keen to move into cutting-edge areas like Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, but I'm unsure how to bridge this gap. The job market here is highly competitive, and most AI/ML roles seem to require significant project experience or advanced degrees, which I don't have. I'm thinking about pursuing a Master's degree, but I'm also worried about the financial burden and the time commitment. My main concern is, how can someone like me, with a solid foundational engineering background but limited exposure to advanced technologies, effectively reskill or upskill to leverage the immense opportunities in AI? What specific learning paths, online courses, or personal projects would you recommend to make myself attractive to companies hiring for AI roles, without necessarily going back to university full-time? I want to ensure my career growth aligns with future industry demands.

Ans: You dont have to do a Masters to acquire Skills. Coursera Skillsoft and even the Government's Future Skills Prime can give you good learning options.

1st round sc category max closing rank in IISER is 856. I got 2600 category rank. Any chance in the upcoming rounds?

Ans: The first?round SC closing rank of 856 indicates high demand at all IISERs for SC seats. In subsequent rounds, vacancies from are reallocated, and historic trends suggest SC cutoffs can extend beyond 2,000–2,500, especially at newer or less?preferred campuses where closing ranks in later rounds often surpass the 2,000 mark. Given your SC rank of 2,600, you may still secure admission at IISERs like Berhampur, Tirupati, or Thiruvananthapuram in Rounds 2 or 3, where extended cutoffs frequently approach or exceed your rank.

Recommendation: Persist through CSB special rounds and upgradation in IISER counselling while including all IISER preferences; your rank is competitive for later rounds at the newer campuses that typically admit SC candidates up to around 2,000–3,000, offering a viable path to admission. However, have some back-ups too, instead of relying only on IAT/IISER. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!
