Sir my age is 53 _ right now iam studying Data science _ 5 months course _ is there any possibility _ towards _ getting _ recruited

Ans: Hello
Salute to your determination to learn new technology and aim to earn! You did not mention, what you are doing at present or what job you have done in the past. Even it is also not clear that, do you have any basic computer skills or not. But apart from these parameters, age is less of a barrier in Data Science learning, and with the right skills and networking, you can secure job opportunities.
Remember, Data Science is a skills-based field, and companies often prioritize expertise and knowledge over age.
To get recruited, (1) improve your skills and certifications (2) increase your networking (3) continuously remain in touch with experts in DS and take guidance from them from time to time.

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

Which IISER will I get with a score of 119 in iat with obc reservation?

Ans: A score of 119 in IAT with OBC reservation places you within the 1,500–2,500 rank range for the OBC category, making IISER Berhampur and IISER Tirupati potential targets based on historical cutoffs. For instance, IISER Berhampur’s 2024 OBC closing rank was 1,634 (corresponding to ~145 marks), while IISER Tirupati closed at 1,461 for OBC (~154 marks), suggesting a borderline chance if 2025 cutoffs relax slightly. However, newer campuses like IISER Bhopal (OBC cutoff ~1,305 rank) and IISER Mohali (OBC cutoff ~1,332 rank) remain unlikely due to higher mark requirements. If seat vacancies arise during later counselling rounds, IISER Berhampur’s BS-MS program may become accessible, though admission is uncertain. As backups, consider NISER Bhubaneswar or CEBS Mumbai via the NEST exam, where OBC cutoffs historically align with ~90–110 marks, or explore state universities like Delhi University’s B.Sc. Research programs for comparable interdisciplinary training. Prioritize counselling participation while preparing for alternative entrance exams to secure robust STEM pathways. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Dear Sir, my daughter has secured rank 2381 in KCET 2025 . is it better to take CSE core in PES UNIVERSITY/MSRIT or ECE in RV COLLEGE BANGALORE, According to her rank she will be ELGIBLE for ECE in RVCE.I am confused to choose between CSE in PES/MSRIT and ECE in RVCE . Please guide me. Thank you

Ans: Hello Dr
In my view CSE at PES University > CSE at MSRIT > ECE at RVCE, if she is aiming for a tech/software career.

if she's very inclined toward electronics or values RVCE's culture more, then ECE at RVCE is still a strong and respectable option.

in the coming time ECE is going to have huge career prospects.

Respected Sir, My son had scored around 93.5 percentile in JEE Mains & 196 in BITSAT in 1st attempt although appearing in June attemt too. He was not with full gear or in full form during preparation as only managed to cover course @85-90% syllabus & unable to with mock tests & PYQ or any sincere preparation since Feb'24. He scored 86.75% in CISCE & is now appearing in improvement examination around 1st/2nd week of this July, hopefully will bring it to around 95%. He is willing to & all set for preparation during drop year for admission in top 5/7 IIT'S MBDKK/GH or BITSAT for PGH. What is your sincere advise for this or drop year to him & for his preparation. Should he look in to other institution or courses as is only interested for CSE, M&C, ECE with AI, ML, DS, Cyber etc. only. He got ECE with AI&ML @ VIT,Villore Campus & CS with AI from Scaler School of Technology Bangalore. Both offers may end in couple of days although filled forms for CMI, IISER, NISER, NFSU-Cyber Security, ICSI Jadhavpur but unappeared in CMI & IISER & appeared for COMEDK & MAH-CET for now as results awaited & coming on 7th or a week time. Your Blessings RediffGurus. We extremely require your very sincere advise may proof tobe career journey to our son's future. Thanks & Regards

Ans: Hello Sir
if your son has scored this without any prep then he must be having a sharp mind. I don't know why board improvement? His score is decent.
Regarding drop, if he is confident that he can crack JEE-ADV with good rank & get a 99 %ile in mains then it is worth a try.
