Hello, Sir/Madam. I find myself in urgent need of guidance regarding my career path. Here’s my situation: I am a 29-year-old man who initially pursued a PUC in the applied Science (PCM) stream but faced challenges in passing the JEE multiple times. Consequently, I transitioned to the Commerce stream, where I completed my master’s degree and also passed the IPCC (CA entrance level) exam. In addition, I attempted various government exams but unfortunately did not achieve success. Currently, I am managing my family business, but I struggle with inconsistent income and desire a stable monthly salary. My question is whether I should concentrate solely on preparing for government job entrance exams or explore other options. I also lack full-time work experience, which adds to my uncertainty. I would greatly appreciate your advice. Thank you, and have a wonderful day. PS: I'm genuinely getting the jitters and am extremely flustered. A little help from your end would go a long way

Ans: I read your whole question thrice. I would advice you not to try only for Govt. jobs. Because seats are very very limited. Try for other jobs also. It is difficult to prepare with doing business. But extract time and prepare. Best of luck. Just follow me. Professor.............:)

Hi, Sir I am 23 years old. I belong from lower middle class family. I have done Diploma in Civil Engineering then I did B.Tech in Civil. But I am not interested in Civil due to family pressure,. I did this. After B. Tech I joined a coaching centre where I have learnt coding and aptitude. But after coming AI, IT market has down. Also companies are not hiring freshers. So, I am afraid that if Computer background students are not getting job then how will I survive in long term. Because of that I am doing govt job preparation. I am now confused that which direction would be suitable for me in the long term?

Ans: Hi
After completing Civil Engg, why you start computer coding is unable to understand. Those who aim for a job, start the preparation from 1st year itself. But you are too late. With the preparation of Govt Job Examinations, it would be better for you to join any company or firm which employs civil engineers for their projects. Your earning and learning will go simultaneously.
Don't sit at home only for the preparation of Govt job.
Discard the idea of learning coding etc related to computers. Rather learn some readymade software use from a civil engineering point of view. Some of them are Auto-CAD, Prima-Vera, STADD-pro, 3D-Max and many more.

You can register your name with Govt PWD Dept to work as a contractor also,

If you are dissatisfied with the reply, please ask again without hesitation.
If satisfied, please like and follow me.

How will be rt mssu b tech it instead of any government college of engineering

Ans: Choosing between RT-MSSU's B.Tech in IT and a government engineering college involves weighing factors like career prospects, placement statistics, and the nature of the curriculum. RT-MSSU, with its focus on skill-based education and industry partnerships, might offer a more direct path to employment, particularly in the IT sector, while government colleges often provide a broader, more theoretical foundation

Sir, my son got 92.75 percentile in jee mains general category. Plz explain the chances of getting nit's or iiit's

Ans: He can try for the branches other than CSE and ECE in low ranked NITs. Secondly with a 92.75 percentile in JEE Main, you can likely get into some IIITs, but not the top ones. The specific IIITs available will depend on the category, branch, and the overall seat availability.

Career

I have been allotted computer engineering in thapar university. How is the branch.. What difference is there between coe and cse. Are there any placement differences?

Ans: Good. While "COE" and "CSE" can sometimes be used interchangeably to refer to computer engineering and computer science, respectively, they represent distinct fields of study. CSE (Computer Science and Engineering) generally focuses on the theoretical aspects of computing, algorithms, and software development, while COE (Computer Engineering) emphasizes the hardware and software interaction of computer systems. Don't think of placement much. Study properly. Leave this servant oriented mindset and try to be a entrepreneur. This ghost of placements are injected the brain of children by the sad, bad and mad society.
