Hello Mayank, My daughter is in X. Will move to XI.She is interested in Mathematics. What are the career options ahead if she goes with PCM in XI. Thank you

Ans: Multiple options in Engineering itself. Also, she can try for IISc or IISER (for Research Studies). Mathematics & Computing is also one of the best options as she is interested in Maths. Let her prepare well for Entrance Exams & she should appear in minimum 5-7 Entrance Exams after 12th to have multiple options to choose the most suitable one for her. All the BEST for Your Daughter's Bright Future.

Hello sir, What are the career options for students having PCM in 12th standard other than engineering degrees. My daughter is good at Maths and average in chemistry and physics also we as parents not able to decide what could be the appropriate graduation choice for her. Just to add she is also not inclined towards programming and AI.
Ans: Hello Ankit.
It is glad to hear that your daughter is good at Mathematics. She is average in Physics and chemistry. Considering these parameters, there are many choices for graduation in different fields. But you have to explore the right field as per her choice/interest. some of them are as follows:
(1) Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) i.e. B.Sc. in Mathematics / Physics / Chemistry / Economics
(2) B. Arch.
(3) B. Des.
(4) BBA
(5) Actuarial Science (Best for Math enthusiasts who enjoy solving real-world problems involving finance and risk.)
(6) Data Science / Data Analytics
(7) Chartered Accountancy (CA)
(8) Aviation
(9) Hotel Management / Culinary Arts
(10) Law (Integrated 5-year LLB)
(11) Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA)
(12) Defence (NDA)
From the above options, It would be great to go with UG in LLB and then PG in LLM. There are chances to become Jujdge at an early stage as there are special reservations for female candidates in judiciary posts. When a candidate joins LLB, he gets a lot of extra time to learn extracurricular activities and some relevant courses. This is a very cool and prestigious field. Generally, students ignore it at an early stage.

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

My Daughter is in 10th standard and is studious. We arranged her counselling through a professional team and came to know that she can do good in Science, Computer, Maths and Journalism. They advised her to choose PCM, Computer alongwith Economic as subjects for 11th. Kindly guide us further and what are the carrier prospects with this combination. Regards
Ans: Neeraj Sir, I trust that your daughter has had the opportunity to participate in the 'Psychometric Test' administered by the Counselling Team you mentioned. The results of the test have led to recommendations for the fields of Science, Computer, Maths, and Journalism. You have not specified from which Board she will continue her 11th-grade studies. Kindly be informed that, in addition to PCM, your daughter has the option to select either Computer Science or Economics, provided she is a CBSE student. The combination of Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics (PCM), Computer Science, and Economics (CSE) offers a versatile career path. It can lead to careers in Engineering, Research and Science, Architecture, Computer Science, and Economics. Emerging fields include CSE, Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, Financial Technology, Journalism with Data, and Environmental Technology. Higher education options in India include IITs, NITs, state universities, private colleges, and liberal arts. Your daughter should select a preferred career path from those suggested by the Counselling Team before completing her 10th Grade. This will enable her to begin preparation for relevant Entrance Exams, including JEE, IAT, CUET, and/or those conducted by Private Colleges for admission into UG Programs. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future.

Career
Is integrated mtech a good course from vit bhopal
Ans: The five-year Integrated M.Tech programs at VIT Bhopal blend undergraduate and postgraduate curricula into a cohesive ten-semester track, featuring NBA-aligned design under NAAC A++ and ABET accreditation. Delivered by a 100% doctoral faculty body, these programs offer cutting-edge laboratories—AI/ML, data science, robotics and cyber-physical systems—backed by research centers and TEQIP-style infrastructure for hands-on learning. The curriculum emphasizes advanced coursework in algorithms, intelligent systems, and big-data analytics, culminating in capstone projects and industry internships during the final year to cultivate practical expertise and employability. Students benefit from the centralized VIT Career Development Centre and a dedicated Placement & Training cell that provide semester-long coding, aptitude training and mock interviews from the first term onward, fueling consistent placement records of over 90% for the last four batches. Strong industry tie-ups with Google, Amazon, Cisco and Microsoft ensure real-world project exposure. The integrated fee structure of approximately ?11.12 L for five years balances long-term investment against accelerated credentialing.

Pros & Cons:
Pros include seamless B.Tech–M.Tech progression, prestigious dual accreditation, research-intensive labs, structured CDC support, and strong placement consistency. Cons cover a heavy five-year commitment, higher cumulative fees, limited branch flexibility after entry, intense course rigor, and potential dilution of broader B.Tech exposure.

For accelerated technical mastery, research immersion, and robust placement pathways in AI, data science, or cybersecurity, the recommendation is to enroll in VIT Bhopal’s Integrated M.Tech. Should you seek greater branch mobility and lower initial costs, consider traditional B.Tech + M.Tech routes elsewhere. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

I have got cse in AIT pune and got ece in nit kurukshetra which is better in both.
Ans: Manoj, Army Institute of Technology Pune’s B.E. in Computer Engineering is NAAC-accredited (Grade A) with NBA-aligned curricula, delivered by primarily PhD-qualified faculty in specialized AI/ML, cybersecurity and software-development labs. The department hosts active technical clubs (open-source, forensics, AR/VR), mandatory internships coordinated by its Career Development Centre and reported placement consistency of 92–97% over the last three years. NIT Kurukshetra’s B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering holds NBA accreditation and a NIRF #17 ranking, taught by experienced faculty in state-of-the-art VLSI, microwave, embedded-systems and DSP labs under TEQIP and DST grants. Its curriculum emphasizes project-based learning, industry MoUs with Siemens and MeitY for internships and empirical placement consistency of approximately 80–85% over the past three years. Both programs ensure rigorous core coursework, robust infrastructure, industry linkages, and accredited standards for engineering education.

For a broader computing focus, higher placement consistency, and specialized software labs, the recommendation is AIT Pune CSE. If you prefer deep ECE specialization, a stronger national ranking, and extensive electronics-communication infrastructure, choose NIT Kurukshetra ECE. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Hello Sir, my daughter got IIT Bhubaneswar- Engineering Physics until Josaa round 4 and also scored 99,90 in Maharashtra CET. Which one should she opt ? She has appeared for BITS too. Pls suggest - She wants to take CS. So we are confused with location n preferences.
Ans: Deepa Madam, You have NOT mentioned your daughter's score in BITS. IIT Bhubaneswar’s B.Tech in Engineering Physics is NBA-aligned with PhD-qualified faculty, advanced photonics, nanotechnology and computational labs, mandatory ISRO/DRDO internships and a flexible curriculum blending physics and computing. However, its focus is foundational science rather than core computer science. Scoring 99.90 percentile in MHT-CET opens seats in Maharashtra’s premier home-state colleges offering CS or related streams for female students: College of Engineering Pune’s CSE with specialisations in AI-DS and Cybersecurity; VJTI Mumbai’s Information Technology and AI-DS; Pune Institute of Computer Technology’s Computer Engineering; Sardar Patel Institute of Technology’s CSE and AI-DS; MIT World Peace University Pune’s CSE, CSE (Data Science) and CSE (AI & ML). All boasting modern AI/ML labs, PhD faculty, robust internships and 80–95% placement consistency over three years. BITS Pilani CSE remains the gold standard for research, Practice School internships and 90–100% placements.

Top 5 MHT-CET Maharashtra Institutes (99.90 percentile) for CS-focused streams:

College of Engineering Pune – CSE (AI-DS, Cybersecurity).

Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute Mumbai – IT (AI-DS).

Pune Institute of Computer Technology – Computer Engineering.

Sardar Patel Institute of Technology Mumbai – CSE (AI-DS).

MIT World Peace University Pune – CSE, CSE (Data Science), CSE (AI & ML).

BITS Pilani CSE.

(If needed, continue with other options.)

For core CSE excellence and proven placement pipelines, Prioritize BITS Pilani CSE if admission is secured. Next is College of Engineering Pune CSE, followed by VJTI Mumbai IT. Then Pune Institute of Computer Technology, Sardar Patel Institute of Technology CSE (AI-DS). MIT WPU CSE (Data Science/AI & ML). IIT Bhubaneswar Engineering Physics is less aligned with her CS aspirations but remains a strong science-research option. MY SUGGESTION: Give 1st priority to BITS for any branch your daughter is very interested in, followed by any one of the top 3 colleges in Maharashtra (mentioned above). Go for Engineering Physics only if she very interested in this domain. All the BEST for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future!
