Sir, I am Neeraj Gupta. I am an Engineering Graduate ( Production Engineering) of 1990. I am working in Pvt. Organization since 1990. Now I am working as Management Representative for ISO and other related standards in a chemical industry since 2008. Now I am 54+ yrs old and fed up doing these jobs. I want to rediscover myself. Is there any carrer opportunity to switch on ? what new course I shall takeup and start a fresh ? Pl. guide me.

Ans: All of us go through these phases around the time we are to retire! It would be a good idea to take up a course which helps you sharpen your core skills or take up something which will bring a smile on your face. Jobs are hard to come by, also at 54, it is more difficult. If you have enough money to see you through life, then take up something philanthropic work and give back to society. Lastly, be positive and look at the bright side of things!

Hello sir. I have done my B. Tech and had been a lecturer for 2 years and then I started teaching online and offline in schools after my marriage and child birth. Currently, I'm looking for more job options where I can prosper and earn a good amount of money. I tried to start tuition bt all in vain as parents were not serious about the home tuition concept in my society and they take me for granted. What career options and opportunities will help me grow in my career . I'm ready to do b. Ed also but I need some expert advice before pursuing any degree.

Ans: Assess what you enjoy most and where your strengths lie—pure teaching, mentoring, content creation, or administrative roles.
You can start B.Ed alongside your current job or tutoring if flexible.
Explore free or low-cost online courses to test new skills before committing financially.
You will not be able to earn a good amount of money by doing job. Try to do business.

Ans: Your sister has strong private options for CSE/IT/specialized CS: Thapar, LNMIIT, MIT Manipal, VIT Chennai/Vellore (via VITEEE), SRM KTR, Jaypee Noida, and KIIT Bhubaneswar. Within Bihar, consider CSE-focused state options as backups.

My son scored 77.9 percentile in JEE mains, he belongs to SC category and from northeast region what are his possibility to get in engineering college preference ECE

Ans: Your son has a reasonable chance of getting ECE at some NITs/NE-region institutes or other government engineering colleges, especially through the home-state/region quota and later counseling rounds, though institute quality will vary. Keep a close eye on the counselling process and fill out the preference order very carefully. On the safer side, keep another option ready as a backup.

Sir ,my daughter got jee main crl 246000 and sc category rank 14400 mp state is there any chance of getting cs,it,new branch coming in this session Ai andml

Ans: Based on your daughter's score, CSE/IT/AI-ML in NITs or IIITs is very difficult in regular JoSAA, even with the MP home-state/female benefit. Still, fill JoSAA + CSAB special rounds very broadly. In CSAB, try GFTIs and lower-demand branches first; CSE-related branches may be possible only if vacant seats remain. For MP, her best practical route is MP DTE counselling for colleges like UIT RGPV Bhopal, JEC Jabalpur, SGSITS/other state colleges if the branch cutoff permits, plus private options. Other backup options she must have for CSE/AI-ML/IT are LNCT, Oriental, Medicaps, Acropolis, IES, Bansal, SAGE, or nearby private universities. Also consider ECE/Electrical if college quality is better. All the BEST for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future!

With 82 percentile in JEE mains 2026 of OBC ncl which top government colleges can have chances with CSE or Electrical or MCSE

Ans: Chances at top government colleges for CSE/Electrical/MCSE are unlikely, i.e., slim or zero. But you may have chances at lower-demand state government engineering colleges and some less-competitive GFTIs/spot rounds.

Sir, my daughter got 1.45 lakh rank in jee mains as sc category. Please tell options for her considering she has interest in cse, mnc, electrical. You can tell any pvt/govt options since we just want a good college for her. Her boards result will be probably 90%, her 10th board result was 97%

Ans: You have not mentioned your daughter's home state to answer precisely for private college options in and around your state. For regular JoSAA, CSE/MnC in good NITs/IIITs may be difficult, but she should still fill lower NITs, newer IIITs and GFTIs broadly. Best targets are NIT Agartala, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Manipur, Nagaland, Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh, Puducherry for Electrical/ECE/core branches, and GFTIs for CSE/IT. In CSAB Special Rounds, all ranks are considered again for vacant seats, so she should not miss it. For CSE-focused backup, it's better to also apply to state counselling and 4-5 private colleges in and around your State. All the BEST for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future!

Sir my jee mains rank is 535004 and OBC NCL rank is 198016 can I get any NIT or IIIT with any branch including lower branches too from chhattisgarh

Ans: Chances are almost Nil with NITs/IIITs. But you may keep a slim hope only for very low-demand branches in far lower-cutoff NITs during CSAB special rounds, not something to rely on realistically. Better to explore more options other than NITs or IIITs

Career

Sir, I am a open category male, scored 98.31 percentile in Jee mains 2026. My rank is 26879 and I am looking for CSE in mid IIIT's,or in NITs if possible. Also please tell me whether I will be getting a better NIT or IIIT in CSAB for CSE or is it good that I shall go for it or not. I am basically residing in Mumbai and my home state is Maharashtra.

Ans: You have realistic chances for CSE in several mid-tier IIITs and possibly lower-cutoff NIT CSE/IT in later rounds, and CSAB is absolutely worth trying because CSE seats often open up there, but treat it as an upgrade opportunity, not a guarantee of a “better” college. It would be better to keep a backup option ready from a safer point of view.

Good luck.
