Question by ADARSH on Mar 11, 2025Hindi

Career

Hello sir, I am a first year BTech CSE student at IIT Bhilai. When I had joined the college the average package for my branch was 19LPA but this year the average package has fallen down to 15 LPA. Given that recession is going on across the globe and that the alumni network of IIT Bhilai is not very vast, I feel that getting a degree from this college will be waste of my money. Should I drop this college and appear this year for BITSAT or should I try to complete my degree and then go for MBA from top IIMs like ABC?

Ans: Adarsh, you can consider appearing for BITSAT if: (1) You are confident of scoring above 300 marks to secure admission in the CSE branch. & (2) Your family can comfortably afford the minimum fee of ?8 lakh per year. If these conditions are challenging, it would be more practical to continue with your IIT-B CSE program and focus on enhancing your skills through relevant certifications recommended by your college faculty.

Additionally, I suggest: (1) Setting up job alerts on LinkedIn for your domain to stay updated on job market trends, job descriptions, and salary expectations. (2) Preparing for both campus and off-campus placements to maximize your opportunities.
(3) Gaining at least 2-3 years of work experience before considering an MBA, which can further accelerate your career growth.

This approach ensures that you make informed career decisions while optimizing your potential. Best of luck!

My father had a spine surgery in 2019. Since then he occasionally experiences lower back pain, especially if he travels or sits for long hours. He does some stretching and cardio. Can you suggest some exercises to help him strengthen his back?

Ans: Dear Madam/Sir . Thank you for your query. Since your father has a history of spine surgery, his lower back pain may be related to slip disc or spinal canal stenosis, especially after prolonged sitting or travel. To strengthen his back safely, he can try gentle core and back exercises such as pelvic tilts, bridges, and bird-dog to improve stability. Seated lumbar extensions and gentle spinal decompression (lying on his back with knees bent) can help relieve pressure. Stretching the hamstrings and hip flexors will also reduce strain on his lower back. However, he should avoid high-impact activities, deep forward bending, and heavy lifting. Since his condition requires personalized care, I strongly recommend visiting a nearby physiotherapist for a proper assessment and a tailored exercise plan. Wishing him a quick recovery!

I have noticed a bit of stiffness and occasional pain in my hips, especially if I am sitting for long periods at work. I am 32, single and I have a sedentary banking job. I travel about 2 to 3 hours a day by public transport. I am not sure how to manage my schedule and find time for some workout. Can you suggest some tips and exercises that can help reduce pain and improve my health and flexibility?

Ans: Dear Madam/Sir .Thank you for your query. Your hip stiffness and occasional pain are likely due to prolonged sitting during work and commuting. To reduce discomfort, maintain proper posture, take breaks every 30-45 minutes, and use lumbar support. Incorporate simple stretches like seated figure-four, hip flexor stretch, and deep squat hold to improve flexibility. Strengthening exercises such as glute bridges and clamshells can provide better hip stability. Whenever possible, stand during your commute and walk around during breaks to avoid prolonged sitting. If the pain persists or worsens, visit a physiotherapist for a proper assessment and personalized treatment plan. Wishing you a quick recovery!
