Career

Hello Mayank, I am 39 years old & having 16 years experience after BE in mechanical Engineering. I am working in an US based MNC for last 8 years as Senior Application Engineer. I have worked in different projects and currently now I am an individual contributor not leading a team. The growth opportunities seems to be low at this point. I am looking job as Project manger or other managerial assignments in MNC's who are into production. Recently I have passed PMP certification and looking for similar courses or certifications which can help me in future. Please guide with suitable skills or courses and ways in which I can find jobs as managerial or leadership roles in MNC's.

Ans: Hi Shrikanth, you can consider enhancing your PMP certification with additional qualifications like Six Sigma for process improvement and Agile for project management. You can also explore leadership courses focusing on strategic management and effective communication to improve your skill set. It would be ideal to leverage your extensive experience, update your professional profiles, and actively engage and network through LinkedIn. Monitoring various job portals and the career pages of MNCs for potential managerial opportunities will help you explore the market and find the right fit for yourself.

Hi sir,Good day. Architecture in a IITs and NITs,is there a good future for the kid's in India and abroad. How is the future for the kids?
Ans: Kanthi, IIT Roorkee in Uttarakhand offers a five-year B.Arch through its Department of Architecture and Planning, integrating studio design, urban planning, conservation, climatology and advanced digital labs for a comprehensive design education. IIT Kharagpur in West Bengal provides a five-year B.Arch (Hons.) with rigorous coursework, mandatory AAT testing post-JEE Advanced and small cohort mentorship in heritage conservation and modern computational design. NIT Calicut in Kerala delivers a five-year B.Arch requiring JEE Main Paper-II or NATA, emphasizing sustainable materials, climatic design studios and urban infrastructure labs, backed by NAAC A+ accreditation and industry-linked projects. All three institutes feature PhD-qualified faculty, dedicated placement cells achieving 80–90% B.Arch placement rates, and strong government and private collaborations.

The field of architecture in India and abroad is poised for transformation through 2030, driven by rapid urbanization, climate challenges and technological adoption. Demand for sustainable, net-zero buildings, low-carbon materials and smart-city infrastructure will surge under initiatives like Smart Cities Mission and GRIHA standards, requiring architects skilled in energy-efficient design and passive systems. India ‘s affordable housing push under PMAY will expand community-centric design roles. Globally, the U.S. BLS projects 8% employment growth for architects through 2028, with rising need for green-design expertise and healthcare facility renovations, while Europe’s heritage conservation and sustainable urban redevelopment will fuel specialist opportunities. Digital tools—AI-driven generative design, BIM, VR/AR visualization and 3D printing—will redefine workflows, enabling remote collaboration and rapid prototyping, broadening architects’ roles into policy, resilience planning and product design.

Recommendation: Prioritize IIT Roorkee’s B.Arch for its historic legacy, pioneering Net-Zero Emissions and Virtual Reality labs, small design studios and top-tier placements in PSUs and global firms. Consider IIT Kharagpur for its AAT-integrated curriculum, heritage conservation focus and DAE-funded research clusters. Leverage NIT Calicut if seeking a strong sustainable-design emphasis, A+ accreditation and high JEE Main accessibility, while developing skills in smart-city and affordable-housing projects. To overcome resource constraints, engage in online BIM and AI-design certifications and join interdisciplinary workshops at all institutes to build resilience against evolving industry demands. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
