Hello everyone... I'm CMA final student and I'm very depressed the institute and the course is becoming joke day by day, the demand is reducing too. After passing inter both group in 1st attempt I was shocked that I couldn't get any internship anywhere not even my profile was considered for interview. At first I thought that may be it's happening because of corona because I passed in December 2020 term but after waiting for 2 years still I don't get any chance now I'm very insecure about my future career even I pass will I be able to secure any job..I don't whether u should continue or not.... please guide me what should I do l..is there any course I can do now btw my age 23 so it's not like I'm so young or I still have so much time.

Ans: CMA is good course and it still has huge demand. But you are correct about less students pursuing. But you can find job opportunities for sure. Regarding internship, I think you can do it in LLP ( CA, CS, CMA Firm). Also industrial training option is there. Other career options: CIMA, CA, MBA

I have completed my civil engg from reputed govt college in 2016 and after that I went for gate coaching i got 35 marks in gate 2017. (I know this is not my best I can do better). After that I started preparing for technical govt exams. After one year some of my prelims were missing by .25 marks 2 marks that time I gave up. And started doing site internship to start my own civil engg consultancy firm. But I got one opportunity to do job as lecturer in polytechnic college so I started doing job at polytechnic college. After 6 months again I started doing studies and cleared mains of state 2019 PSCs Assistant engg. And missed rrb je post by 2 marks in mains. After that exam corona came and I couldn't keep myself on the track and one year again wasted. In 2021 March I have started preparing for prelims and cleared prelims and for mains exam I joined one online class named super 40 and already half syllabus was over at time.of joining so I started watching lectures and as lectures were lengthy and so much lectures were there so I couldn't do revision properly and I lost my self confidence due to that coaching and it was totally waste of money. Again that time it was time everyone was saying do software classes to get job and many of mine friends done those classes so I also joined one to get job and successfully wasted another 6 months. I don't know what to do now. I still feel that If I can study for another 5/6 months I can clear rrb je. In between I got offer of 25k per month as site engineer I denyed that. It's been 8 years since my degree and still. unemployed. Please help me out.
Ans: Dear Friend , When You are not focussed or keep on changing your plans , it is bound to happen. In these precious 8yrs you could have made your career in Civil Engg. However you wanted to start your consultancy or then wanted to try your hand in Govt Jobs or some times you tried your hand in teaching but quit the job. If you delay in taking a firm decision , even getting a job in your core field will be difficult. So get into a stable job and build you career.

I'm at a point in life where nothing seems too clear, i dont know what I'm doing. I was an just above average student, passed +2 long time ago in 2017, after that kept arguing with mother that I don't wanna do the job that was offered to me as "dependent" after my father had passed away , my younger brother joined that later Till than i was doing BSC had no interest, dropped out of it, and just for sake of doing graduation graduated with BA in economics, at that time i got into doing various tech stuff ( making some small apps etc ). I tried harder to get into it but india is cruel and I'm average...... So i decided to enroll in MCA last year in a tier 3 private college with almost non existing placement Mistake after mistake after mistake.... Now you all know the state of job market... They say its getting harder for the freshers. Been applying for internships on intershala and other websites but still here with no internship. After this much setbacks even my interest is now like - okay it's just a chore, i have stopped enjoying any programing or anything, i still like it i wouldn't say i enjoy it... I don't even know what am i doing with life, where will i end up. Sometimes my worry is whether i will be able to even make any money or not. I have no desire to join any government job... Just pushing into up skilling, but setback after setback, is forcing me to accept that nobody is going to give a job that too as a fresher in private sector to an old stupid 25 year old unemployed man.
Ans: you're not stupid. You’re just trying to navigate a really chaotic system with very little support and a late start. That’s not a crime — it’s human.

Choose a micro-niche within tech
Instead of being a generalist programmer, pick something very specific and practical. Examples:
Web Development for local businesses
No-code/Low-code app building
Automation with Python
WordPress + SEO services
Data analysis with Excel + Python for NGOs
Freelance bug fixing / debugging

You can try freelance gigs on Fiverr, Upwork

Sir My jee rank was not that good..I have some queries..cna u pls assist me what's the difference between bsc cs and btech cse..and would they lead to same career path and options.. Also if I choose to go with btech then..should I choose srm sonepat or not..I have planned to do msc abroad
Ans: Javin, B.Sc. Computer Science is a three-year, theory-driven program emphasizing algorithms, computation theory and foundational mathematics, suited for research, data analysis or academic roles, whereas B.Tech. in Computer Science & Engineering spans four years with a balanced mix of hardware, software and engineering fundamentals, offering intensive lab work, industry internships, and project-based learning that prepare graduates for system design, software development and emerging technology roles. Both degrees can lead to software engineering, data science, and cybersecurity careers, but B.Tech. holders often access core engineering positions and higher placement rates, while B.Sc. graduates may pivot more readily into research-oriented master’s or academic tracks. Considering SRM University Delhi-NCR Sonepat for B.Tech. CSE, the programme is delivered in a NAAC-accredited institution with over 315 recruiters visiting annually and a 95 percent placement consistency, supported by modern computing labs and structured career services. For planned MSc studies abroad, admissions typically require a four-year engineering or science degree with substantial computer-science content, a competitive GRE score (if required), proof of English proficiency (IELTS/TOEFL) and strong academic references; B.Tech. CSE aligns smoothly with these criteria, ensuring eligibility and facilitating conversion to research-focused master’s programmes.

Recommendation:
Opt for B.Tech. CSE at SRM Sonepat to benefit from industry-aligned curriculum, high placement consistency and robust lab exposure, then pursue an MSc abroad leveraging the recognised four-year engineering degree, structured admissions prerequisites and extensive global opportunities in advanced computing and research. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

My daughter got PhD in Pharmacology admission both at Lovely Professional University Phagwara & JSS College of Pharmacy Ooty Tamil Nadu. Can you guide us which one is better? Which one to choose & why?
Ans: Lovely Professional University’s doctoral programme in Pharmacology operates within a NAAC-accredited private university that administers its own LPUNEST entrance test and offers substantial scholarship support based on merit . The three-year full-time curriculum encompasses core research methodology, publication ethics and advanced electives, supplemented by interdisciplinary minors and industry-interface modules that facilitate collaborations with pharmaceutical companies. Research scholars benefit from well-equipped pre-clinical and clinical evaluation laboratories, a centralized animal house and access to LPU’s Centre for Biomedical Research. A robust placement pathway connects candidates to roles in drug safety, pharmacovigilance and regulatory affairs, leveraging the university’s corporate partnerships and regular campus recruitment drives. Despite its relative youth, LPU maintains a dedicated Career Development Centre and reports a consistent placement rate for life-sciences graduates through structured internship pipelines and research-fellowship opportunities .

JSS College of Pharmacy, Ooty, established in 1980 and part of JSS Academy of Higher Education & Research, stands among the top five pharmacy institutions nationally, holding NAAC A+ accreditation and a #4 NIRF pharmacy ranking . Its Department of Pharmacology—active since 1988—provides doctoral candidates with specialized training in pharmacology and toxicology tracks, supported by CSIR-, DBT- and AICTE-funded research projects worth over ?3 crore. The college features a CPCSEA-approved centralized animal house, advanced instrumentation (FT-IR, microwave synthesizer, molecular modeling suites) and round-the-clock research facilities. Extensive MoUs with leading R&D organizations and a NABL-accredited drug-testing laboratory underpin strong industry linkages, while its placement cell sustains an over 80% placement consistency for postgraduate and doctoral scholars, facilitating roles in academia, regulatory bodies, and pharmaceutical R&D .

Recommendation:
For a well-established research environment with extensive funding, high national ranking, and deep industry connections in pharmacological sciences, JSS College of Pharmacy, Ooty offers the stronger platform. However, if scholarship opportunities, interdisciplinary minors, and a growing placement infrastructure are priorities, Lovely Professional University remains a compelling alternative. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Hi. My son is getting VJTI B Tech IT and also BITS Hyderabad campus MSc Chem + B Tech (Dual Degree) What choice should we go for ?
Ans: VJTI Mumbai’s B.Tech in Information Technology operates within a historic, NAAC A-accredited government institute, supported by experienced faculty, modern software and networking labs, an 82 percent overall placement rate (85 percent for IT) over the past three years and strong industry partnerships with leading IT firms. It requires 10+2 with PCM and English and selection via MHT-CET cutoff and counselling. In contrast, BITS Hyderabad’s five-year Integrated M.Sc.(Hons.) in Chemistry + B.E. programme admits students through BITSAT (75 percent aggregate in 10+2 and minimum 60 percent in PCM), immerses them in advanced chemistry and engineering curricula, and allows conversion to the dual degree after the first year based on top-tier CGPA performance; Group C admits may pursue any dual degree within specified limits. Graduates benefit from practice school training, interdisciplinary research projects and placement consistency around 80 percent in chemical and engineering streams. Risks include rigorous workload during dual-degree years, competitive CGPA criteria for continuation and potential difficulty shifting back if performance thresholds are not met.

Recommendation:
For a clear, focused start in a high-placement IT domain with defined eligibility and minimal academic risk, choose VJTI B.Tech IT. Opt for BITS Hyderabad M.Sc. Chemistry + B.Tech if your son seeks a research-integrated, multidisciplinary pathway and excels under high academic rigor with dual-degree ambitions. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
