Hello Sir, My Son is doing his Diploma in Electrical Engg (Second Year)...Please Guide What are the fields He can go degree in Engg

Ans: If your son enjoys his current diploma and wants to stay in the electrical domain, Electrical Engineering or Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) are solid choices. However, if he’s open to exploring related fields with more opportunities in automation, electronics, software, or renewable energy, he could consider ECE, Mechatronics, Instrumentation, Automation, or even CSE.

Sir, my son has completed his 12th, and we have blocked a seat in pes rr, ece branch. He has interest in civil related field that he has done a few things on his own to know more on that field, from grade 8,9, and talks about the roads, infrastructure etc. He knows and does by intuition how to fix things in the house, when they break.He has also done very small interfacing projects in electronics. We dont know which branch to choose? He has also enrolled in bs from iitm through jee adv. He took it up to gett a stronger foundation in programming in case he continues with ece. He likes that too. Kindly advise which branch he should choose in engg, he dooesnt want to take up a cs career, though. Thank you

Ans: Hi. Always respect the interests of our children. As you said and elaborated about him, you must opt for Civil Engineering where he will excel over CS / ECE. But you have blocked this seat in PES. A branch change option is available in 2nd year depending on the score of 1st year and the availability of seats in the respective branch. If the institution is ready to refund the maximum amount of fees as per their terms and conditions, then first choose the Civil seat in a good college and then leave PES. Forcefully doing CS/EEE is not at all recommended. Else wait for bs as he enrolled iitm via jee adv.

If you found this suggestion helpful, please consider following me.

Sir, My son has completed his 12th CBSE with 94.6%. He has great interest in hands on projects, has done few tiny arduino projects , made up few pcbs in electronics, and also built small model of bridge, metro, etc. He always tries to know about the technologies in railways locomotives, dam constructions etc, which show his interest in these lines, also. He had qualified for jee advanced, so he has joined iit madras bs program in data science, now he likes that also. We are confused which branch of engg he should take up, as he seems to have great interest in civil, mech, electronics, computer programming lines as well. He doesnt want to take up a pure computer job as a career, as he wants to work on atleast 40% hands on projects. Kindly help in choosing the branch. Thank you

Ans: Considering his diverse interests and preference for hands-on projects, Mechatronics Engineering might be the best fit. He can use his knowledge in Data Science in different applications in Engineering. Encouraging him to look into specific programs at IITs and other top engineering colleges that offer these interdisciplinary fields will help him find a program that aligns with his interests and career aspirations.

My son has scored 92.4 percentile in JEE Main, and with Uttarakhand domicile, he has 95% in his 12th board exams. What will his rank be, and where can he get admission?

Ans: Hello Kalpana.
In the JEE scorecard, the rank is also mentioned. You did not mention the category. Assuming you are from GC, with the mentioned score, the chances are few for getting a seat in top-tier NITs; however, do keep hope for tier-2 NITs. There are possibilities for your son in IIITs for computer-related branches.

Hello Sir, My son has secured 95% percentile in JEE mains, his JEE advance is pending, In the meantime he has got offer from Thapar for computer engineering.. counselling for Manipal is pending. Last date to secure seat at Thapar is 23rd which is a costly option. What should I do ?. Should I wait for other options to present itself. I belong to Delhi Home state. Which is better Manipal, Thapar or MAIT.

Ans: Hello Atul
It would be an injustice to each other to suggest one of the aforementioned options. All are good. You have to choose according to your financial conditions. Yet you can go with either Manipal or MAIT from a cost point of view.As you said you belong to Delhi, the better option for you will be MAIT.

Question by RAVI - May 15, 2025

Career

I am Ravi. I am 32 currently teaching aspirants for competitive exams in my small coaching setup where income is very less. I have done Bachelors in Eco Hons in 2013 and Masters in Defence in 2019. I want to enter into corporate for which I thought Full time 2 years MBA as a pathway. Wrote XAT, got interview calls from some decent colleges but in GDPI, my age gap became an issue always. I was also told that my CV shortlist chances will be very low during campus placements. Only one college gave me their non core program but getting negative response from many sides I am sceptical of my placement as batch size is also very big. It's a big investment of time and money too. I will be 34 during placements. Deep down my heart now I really want to work now rather than only again classroom study. I started working only in 2022. I want to ask if there's anyway I can get corporate job while pursuing online MBA or any other relevant certification? Or taking risk of expensive full time MBA? Many people have told me to go for Executive MBA but I don't have enough relevant experience

Ans: One option is to start teaching on your own. Second would be to try and get a corporate job by doing some short term job relevant courses and then doing executive mba after wokring for a few years or doing part time / online mba. Doing a full time MBA in your case may not be worthwhile as age is not on your side and you do not have enough relevant work ex to justify your gap.

Question by Lalit - May 16, 2025

Career

What would be a good choice for a Computer Science engineer with 3 years of experience in data management / reporting in a large Indian private bank? Choices are post-graduation in: 1. Information Management in S P Jain (full time 2 years) 2. Operations & Supply Chain Management in IIM Mumbai (full time 2 years) Both post-graduation topics are of equal interest and both institutes are highly reputed, hence the dilemma. There is little or no background in Operations and Supply Chain Management while past education and work experience is related to IT / Data Management. Kindly advise.

Ans: Both the colleges are good and the courses you have mentioned in each are supposed to be among the best in the field. I would be a little inclined towards IM @ SP Jain as you have relevant work experience and you have no specific inclination.
