Hello Sir My son ins pursuing BTech CSE from KIIT Bhubaneswar. he is in the first year. Sir seeing ongoing demand for AI professionals - is it advisable to change the stream (it’s possible as he in in the first year) from CSE core to AI/ML

Ans: Hello Kash.
Congratulations to you and your son for admission to KIIT Bhubneshwar in CSE. If he is getting admission to AI/ML, it would be better to opt for it. If not, still there is no problem. A student with CSE can prepare AI+ML on his own and take the help of some online/offline courses. No doubt there is a demand for AI professionals, but it does not mean CSE will lose its importance in the future. Both are interrelated courses. Hence both CSE and AI will have equal demand in the future.

If you are dissatisfied with the reply, please ask again without hesitation.

Rahul Asked on - Jun 24, 2025 Hi , my son have options, for BTech cse core MUJ , NIMS CSE Mumbai,SRM ktr CSE , Bennet CSE ,Shiv nadar Nodia ECE ,we are from haryana , money is not a problem ,what will be better for future Ai & Ml or Cse core ? I am Rahul Jain from Gurgaon
Ans: Rahul Sir, Manipal University Jaipur’s CSE program records an 88% placement rate with average packages of ?6–8 LPA, attracting recruiters like Microsoft, Amazon, and Deloitte. NMIMS Navi Mumbai’s CSE boasts an average package of ?11.35 LPA from over 40 companies, reflecting strong industry ties and robust corporate engagement. SRM KTR’s CSE department achieved 83–95% placement rates over the last three years, with university-wide averages around ?7.2 LPA and 980 recruiters in 2024. Bennett University’s CSE graduates enjoy a 95%+ placement record, average package of ?5.4 LPA, and 60+ offers above ?10 LPA from Fortune 500 firms. Shiv Nadar University Noida’s ECE yields nearly 90% placements, average packages of ?6–7.7 LPA, and top recruiters like Google, Oyo, and Adobe. The AI/ML sector is surging with 37% year-on-year job growth in India and a projected ?17 billion market by 2027, alongside a 67% rise in demand for AI engineers, demonstrating high demand for specialized roles. Core CSE provides a broad foundation in programming, systems, and software engineering with flexible electives for diverse career paths.

Recommendation: For broad versatility and stable placements, core CSE at NMIMS offers high placement rates and industry connections, while specialization in AI & ML can command premium roles given booming market demand. Prioritize interest: choose AI & ML for expert-focused pathways, or CSE core for flexible career options. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Asked by Anonymous - Dec 02, 2025Hindi
Relationship
My married ex still texts me for comfort. Because of him, I am unable to move on. He makes me feel guilty by saying he got married out of family pressure. His dad is a cardiac patient and mom is being treated for cancer. He comforts me by saying he will get separated soon and we will get married because he only loves me. We have been in a relationship for 14 years and despite everything we tried, his parents refused to accept me, so he chose to get married to someone who understands our situation. I don't know when he will separate from his wife. She knows about us too but she comes from a traditional family. She also confirmed there is no physical intimacy between them. I trust him, but is it worth losing my youth for him? Honestly, I am worried and very confused.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand how difficult it is to let go of a relationship you have built from scratch, but is it really how you want to continue? It really seems to be going nowhere. His parents are already in bad health and he married someone else for their happiness. Does it seem like he will be able to leave her? So many people’s happiness and lives depend on this one decision. I think it’s about time you and your BF have a clear conversation about the same. If he can’t give a proper timeline, please try to understand his situation. But also make sure he understands yours and maybe rethink this equation. It really isn’t healthy. You deserve a love you can have wholly, and not just in pieces, and in the shadows.

Hope this helps

My son will be appearing for JEE Main & JEE Advanced 2026 and will participate in JoSAA Counselling 2026. I request clarification regarding the GEN-EWS certificate date requirement for next year. I have already applied for an EWS certificate for current year 2025, and the application is under process. However, I am unsure whether this certificate will be accepted during JoSAA 2026, or whether candidates will be required to submit a fresh certificate for FY 2026–27 (issued on or after 1 April 2026). My concern is that if JoSAA requires a certificate issued after 1 April 2026, students will have only 1–1.5 months to complete the entire procedure, which is difficult considering normal government processing timelines. Also, during current JEE form filling, students are asked to upload a GEN-EWS certificate issued on or after 1 April 2025, or an application acknowledgement. This has created confusion among parents regarding which year’s certificate will finally be valid at the time of counselling. I request your kind guidance on: Which GEN-EWS certificate will be accepted for JoSAA Counselling 2026 — a certificate for FY 2025–26 (issued after 1 April 2025), or a new certificate for FY 2026–27 (issued after 1 April 2026)?
Ans: Hi
You need not worry about the EWS certificate. Even if you apply for the next year's certificate on 1 Apr 2026, the second session of JEE MAINS will still be held, followed by JEE ADVANCED, which will be held in May. JOSAA starts in June. so you will have 2 months in hand for fresh EWS certificate.
