Ans: As per a recent article/news in the Times of India, Mechanical Engineering has less demand, compared to other branches like CSE, ECE etc. Prefer CS (even in Tier-3 IIIT), followed by ECE in any one of the reputed IIITs. Wherever/whichever branch she joins, she should keep upgrading her skills to be competitive among other students/job seekers. All the BEST for Your daughter's Bright Future.

Ans: Sharmistha Madam, Prefer NIT-D-Durgapur (of West Bengal which is your home state). She can try even for non-core companies like software/IT companies by adding her skills in Software online during her next 4-years. This is applicable to ECE also. When she is getting in NIT/IIITs, have Manipal as her last option. All the BEST for Your Daughter's Bright Future.

I have given 2 attempts in neet but unfortunately couldn't clear it...I have completed my graduation from local degree college. Now I'm thinking of doing my post graduation from lucknow university with masters in public health. Is it a good idea?

Ans: HI,
Why couldn't you succeed? The reason may be that you completed your undergraduate degree simultaneously. If you had planned properly, you would have been able to pass the NEET exam. Unfortunately, that didn't happen.

NO. Once again, you seem to be making a mistake. Why did you choose Public Health? Do you understand its scope? If you don't, then why are you pursuing it?

Let me remind you that anyone can appear for NEET after completing a BSc. Here are the requirements.
B.Sc. Examination of an Indian University provided that he/she has passed the B.Sc. Examination with not less than
two of the subjects Physics, Chemistry, Biology (Botany, Zoology)/Biotechnology and further that he/ she has passed
the earlier qualifying examination with Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and English.

Ans: HI, what is the scope of public health in India? Do you have any idea? Without understanding the field and job opportunities, choosing this course could be unwise. Consider selecting another course.

Vennila Asked on - Jun 02, 2025 I have got admission in VIT vellore Btech Biotechnology and Christ University bsc Biotechnology. Which should I opt

Ans: HI,
You can proceed with the B.Tech in Biotechnology at VIT. Generally, the B.Tech program lasts four years, while the B.Sc program is three years. I'm not sure which option you preferred at Christ University—was it the B.Sc or the B.Sc (Hons)?

If you preferred the B.Sc (Hons), I recommend comparing the syllabi of both colleges to see which curriculum has a stronger focus (flavor) on biotechnology. Whichever program emphasizes biotechnology more, you should select that specific college.

Sir,my son got mechanical engg in Thapar in 1st round and we hope for upgradation in subsequent rounds.i am from Chandigarh. How are placements in Mechanical Thapar

Ans: Hi Rishu,

Achieving a CGPA of 9.5 or 10 is quite easy, but success in interviews is a different story. Very few students actually succeed in interviews, and not everyone manages it. While many institutions are working hard to place their students, a candidate's performance in an interview greatly depends on their own preparation. Without proper preparation, even the best institutions may not be able to help them succeed.
Encourage your son to acquire knowledge and skills related to his subjects. After two years, he should consider pursuing additional courses that relate either to his main subject or to interdisciplinary topics. This will enhance his employability in the industry. It's also important to note that many students lack soft skills, which are crucial for securing a job. Therefore, insist that he develops both soft and hard skills to ensure he is employable once he completes his course.
BEST WISHES.

Hi! Sir, My son is holding Canadian citizenship and also holds OCI. He just has completed his 10th with 98 %tile from Gujarat Board. Now he has got admission in 11th Science. My question is that will he get admission in government engineering colleges or IITs as per general quota like Indian citizens?. What will be the fees for OCI holder to get admission for government engineering colleges?. I will wait for your favorable response. Thanks Hitesh Patel.

Ans: Criteria Eligibility for Your Son (OCI, Canadian Citizen)
JEE Main (NITs/IIITs) Eligible (General Category only)
JEE Advanced (IITs) Eligible (General Category only)
State Government Colleges (Gujarat) Possible under ACPC; check if general/NRI quota applies
Fee for IIT/NIT Indian general category fees if admitted via JEE
Fee for State Colleges Normal fees (if general quota); High if NRI quota

Prepare for JEE Main/Advanced if aiming for IITs/NITs.

Check with ACPC Gujarat for general quota eligibility in govt. colleges.

Keep all documents ready: OCI card, domicile (if any), birth certificate, and 10th marksheet.

Consider backup options like DASA scheme or private colleges with NRI quota if needed.

Bangalore residence. VIT AP CSE (category 3 4L per year) vs SRM KTR ECE (thru SRM JEE merit 2.75L per year) vs PESIT ECE(7L per year). Can you advise which one should I consider for my son? He is ok for pursuing any - ece or cse. Considering placement prospectus which one would you advise considering distance, fees and job prospectus?

Ans: If you can stretch the budget, go with PESIT Bangalore. It has:

Best placement ecosystem

Best city for opportunities

ECE at PESIT still allows IT jobs

If budget is moderately constrained, then SRM KTR is a solid compromise.
