Question by Rajesh on Oct 04, 2023Hindi

Hello, Good afternoon. My son is studying B Tech in E & C in a reputed college. Now he is in 5th Sem and he could not score good marks in all 4 sems. He is a hard worker and very upset about his results. Now he is much worried about his career after graduation. Pls suggest what steps he should follow to do better in next 4 sems and courses he can do after B Tech in India and abroad to position himself for good jobs.

Ans: Hello, It makes sense that your son is upset about how he's doing in Btech, but it's important to tell him that mistakes are a normal part of learning. To do better over the next four semesters, he can do the following:

1. Tell him to think about how he did in the past and figure out what areas he needed to work on the most. This can help him focus his efforts on improving those areas.
2. Tell him to talk to his teachers or college advisors about getting help and advice. They can give him useful information and tools and help him do well in school.
3. Set reasonable goals for him, help him create an organized study schedule, and help him organize his work. Encourage him to use good study methods, like active learning, managing his time well, and going over things often.
4. Remind him to keep going and keep a good attitude. Tell him to focus on what he does well, make goals that he can reach, and enjoy the little wins along the way.

After getting his B.Tech., he can take any of the following studies, both in India and abroad:

1. He can pursue a Master's degree in engineering or a similar area to learn more and improve at what he does. Electronics and Communication Engineering, Embedded Systems, VLSI Design, and other fields are taught in many colleges through specific programs.
2. He can improve his skills and abilities by getting several online certifications that are important to his field. In the job market today, certifications in computer languages, networking, hacking, and so on can be useful.
3. Tell him to get real-world experience through study projects, internships, or working with others in the same field. This practical training can help him learn more in school and make him more marketable when he looks for a job.

He should also seek guidance from experienced career counsellors at College Vidya. These counsellors are experts at giving individualized help and support to students with trouble in education, careers, or seeking job advice. They can help your son figure out his strengths, interests, and future goals and give him useful information and tools to help him do well in Btech.

Your son can solve his academic problems and set himself up for success in his future job if he works hard, doesn't give up, and has the right people to help him.
