Question by Jignesh - May 30, 2024Hindi

Career

Hello sir, my son got 132070 CRL in JEE mains and 95.6% in CBSE 12th science from Gulf. He wants to pursue BTech in CSE. We are confused to choose between: COEP, IIIT Gwalior,IIIT Jabalpur, IIIT Kanchipuram. Not sure if he can get in NIT-Nagpur or NIT Jaipur .Above is considering chances as per gulf quota through DASA scheme for NIT,IIITs and direct in COEP with gulf reservation. Is COEP Pune better than IIIT/Mid ranked NITs?

Ans: Mr. Jignesh,

Congrats to your Son who scored 95.6% in CBSE.

Whatever Institutes you have referred are good individually.

However, it is suggested to go for COEP as his 1st preference, if he gets confirmed admission under Gulf Reservation Quota, as COEP is one of the oldest Universities in India. Besides, COEP is a better-ranked University, compared to other Institutes which you have referred to here.

As 2nd option, he can go for IIIT-Kanchipuram (near Chennai) as job opportunities are more in Bengaluru / Chennai, compared to Gwalior / Jabalpur & other Mid-ranked NITs.

If he chooses any one of the Mid-ranked NITs, make sure they have good Campus Placement Records during the last 3-years.

Wherever he joins, here are the tips/strategies he should follow while pursuing, just before and after completing his BTech, to be COMPETENT in the job market:

While Pursuing his BTech:

1) He should make sure, he continues to maintain a decent Score / CGPA / Percentage till you complete your UG without backlogs/arrears.
2) He joins 2-3 Co-curricular Activities' Club (related to your Domain) & extra-curricular activities.
3) He creates a Professional LinkedIn Profile
4) He should connect to professionals of the same domain but not ask for jobs (after he completes his BTech). If his profile matches their requirements, they will definitely be in touch with your son.
5) Every 3-months, he should keep updating his LinkedIn Profile for recent achievements/certifications, etc.
6) From the 3rd year onwards, he start researching about the companies, visited the College during the last 3 years & know their nature of their business/manpower requirements in the ‘Career’ Section of their websites.
7) Most important: From 1st year itself, he should start doing additional Certification Courses online, related to his domain, to be competent in the job market.
8) He should put Job-Alert Notifications on LinkedIn, related to his domain, to know about the current job market scenarios/employers’ expectations.
9) And, above all, he should keep upskilling his domain till he completes his BTech.

Just Before & After Completing his BTech:

1) Just before completing his BTech, he should prepare well for the Campus Recruitment’s Written Test / Interview / Group Discussion, whichever will be applicable.
2) He should start applying for jobs through LinkedIn Job Alerts, if the Job Description, posted by the employers/recruiters/companies, matches his profile.
3) He should keep his ‘RESUME’ professionally prepared. Make sure his ‘Resume’ is simple & brief with keywords with his LinkedIn Account’s clickable link. Include the SUMMARY Section in his Resume as the Summary Section is the only Section that Recruiters / Employers read.
4) And, he should keep upgrading his skills to be competitive in job market always, even after he lands into job after his BTech.

Hope the above information will help you, Sir.

If you need any other clarifications for you or questions for anyone, post your questions to me.

With Best Wishes from RediffGURU, Jignesh Sir.

Will get ECE / ENTC in RV 3.CS in BMCSE MY confusion is should we go in for branch in NIT /IIIT ,will not be able to get circuital branch in good NITS and in which IIITs should we prefer or should we go in with private college CS

Ans: Prefer Private College for CS. Order of Preference (1) CS with BMS (2) RVCE for ECE. Please note, ECE is slightly difficult compared to CSE. Recruiters are comparatively lesser for ECE (Core), compared to CSE. Some Recruiters / Employers prefer even ECE Students with some Software Knowledge / Certifications.(3) VIT-Vellore for CS. Your son will get admission into any one of the NITs or IIITs but from Tier 2 for CS. Whatever Institute / University & Branch your Son chooses, he should keep upgrading his skills from his 1st year itself till his Campus Placement during his last year, from LinkedIn, Coursera, NPTEL, Internshala etc. and / or any other online platforms, recommended by his College Faculties, to be COMPETENT among other Students.

All The BEST for your Son’s Bright Future.

Career

I’ve always aspired to work in the Ministry of External Affairs, but I know the competition is tough. I will be appearing for the SSC CGL exam this year. For Tier 2, which sections or strategies should I prioritise to boost my chances of landing my dream role in this recruitment drive?

Ans: The SSC CGL exam is a competitive entry-level job in the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), with the main role being Assistant Section Officer (ASO). Tier 2 of the exam consists of multiple papers, with Paper I being required for all postings, including MEA. The main focus areas are mathematical quantitative aptitude, thinking and general intelligence, English language and understanding, and general knowledge.

Quantitative aptitude (200 Marks) is a high-scoring but time-consuming area, with areas such as algebra, geometry, trigonometry, menuration, data interpretation, and number system. Practice and strengthen basic skills, focusing on accuracy and speed. Resources for pattern comprehension include R.S. Aggarwal's Gradeup and Testbook quantitative aptitude with online mocks.

English language and comprehension (200 Marks) is high-scoring and essential for MEA, with areas like grammar, vocabulary, comprehension, synonyms and antonyms, and sentence correction. Strategies include daily reading schedules, vocabulary expansion using Norman Lewis's Word Power Made Easy, and solving cloze tests.

General awareness (100 Marks) is crucial for MEA aspirants, with areas like current affairs, international relations, Indian polity, geography, history, and economics. Stay informed about foreign policy changes, NCERTs, and NCERTs for stationary sections.

General intelligence and reasoning (60 Marks) is a scoring section, with areas like puzzles, coding-decoding, blood relations, series, and direction tests. Techniques include trying full-length mock tests, time management, previous year reports, and preparing for essays and letter writing on global concerns. All the Best for SSC CGL Exam.

Hello Sir, I’m back to you with a question . Sir, doing mechanical in top nits or iiits or bits, what are the possibilities to do ms in computer science. I keep hearing from everyone to go for cse to do ms cs , but my daughter prefers good college first and then cse, based on her capability it’s extremely difficult to get cse in tier1 , so she says I will do mechanical in tier 1 and do ms cs abroad. Please guide on the pros , cons Sir

Ans: Pursuing Mechanical Engineering at top-notional institutes like IIT, NIT, IIIT, or BITS or any other NIRF-Ranked Engineering It may please be noted that if your daugther performs well in 1st Year of her BE/BTech, she will be upgraded to CSE Branch (based on the Institute's Internal Sliding Policy). Colleges offer advantages such as a strong alumni network, branch flexibility, and a strong resume for MS admissions. Students can enroll in elective courses in programming, data structures, and computer applications to prepare for an MS in CS.

However, transitioning from Mechanical to CS for an MS overseas can be challenging due to the need for prior knowledge in CS principles. With more self-learning and certificates, it is possible. Additionally, CS is tough for MS admissions in the US, and students may have to create a strong profile through internships, online courses, and certifications in CS domains without a CS degree.

To ensure a seamless transition, students should select electives in programming and computer science based on their undergraduate course (if the institute allows). Online programs for courses in data structures, Python, and artificial intelligence can be found on CS-oriented sites like Coursera, edX, or NPTEL. Summer internships involving data analysis, coding, or automation projects can also be sought. Multidisciplinary initiatives like mechanical engineering automation or computational fluid dynamics (CFD) can also be explored.

If your daughter's main goal is to pursue an MS in CS, it is better to consider Tier 1 Institutes with CS or IT branches and top-tier institutes with Mechanical focus actively pursuing CS. All the Best for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future.

Question by himanshu - Jan 11, 2025Hindi

Relationship

My girlfriend had 6 or 7 years relationship along with lived also in pg room with him for one year s?x inter course etc... involved but now 2024 she is become my more than girlfriend also had s?x with me I have a relationship only 4 mónths she said to whatever your decision she will accept but my mind is stuck she lived him one year in ROOM. My mind is fully confused she ready to married me she had no feeling for her past relationship..

Ans: Dear Himanshu,
How does her past matter in your present and future? Exactly how will her living together with her ex, at a point in time when you did not exist in her life, matter to you today? Why are you judging her based on the fact that she loved someone else before you? I understand that these feelings can creep in, but you have to counsel yourself. She isn't at fault here because everything that is bothering you today is in her past and she cannot change that, and why should she have to change it, anyway? Every time you find yourself feeling this way, you can ask the same question and answer honestly. And in case you think you cannot get over these thoughts, let her go. No one deserves to be in a relationship where they have to be constantly reminded of their past or judged for it.

Best Wishes.

Question by ammarao - Jan 12, 2025

Relationship

Hello sir/ma'am, i am 24 yrs old and my boy friend 25 yrs old.I met him in a friendly chat app .We were talking on calls,texting and video calls and met each other in real after a 1 yr of relationship.He is the first guy and love in my life and want to marry him.I even made my family to agree for our marriage.He too says he loves me so much and has imagined his life with me and want to marry me.He even told his parents will stick on to whatever he says.He hasn't yet conveyed to his parents yet and told he will introduce to them after his younger sister marriage.We both are students still. I recently found that,he goes to the chat apps again and chats to other girls.When i asked ..he told just friends and even questioned me saying don't u have guy friends? and don't u meet them?....i told him u r the first guy n i dont have any. When our relationship has gone till marriage...why is that he wants to chat to multiple girls?...Now,i started feeling like he doesn't love me as he expressed. He even had past 3 online relationships n all 3 breakups,he told all these before..he told i am the first girl in real life.. I am worried now.Why do guys chat with multiple girls though they are in a serious relation?..does he really love or is it a game? No physical between us.We just met once in a temple and he just kissed my hands while we are going back and got very emotional while he was about to leave. I am worried..what should i do?.please,suggest.

Ans: Dear Ammarao,
Not all men chat with multiple women when they are serious about their relationship. Some might, but most men in exclusive relationships don't continue chatting. If his chats are truly friendly, there isn't much to worry about. But if you think there is more to it, I would suggest you reconsider the relationship.

Please talk to him directly and ask him if these women are only friends and if they know he is in a committed relationship. If he is being too defensive, you can tell him that in a relationship, it is also important to focus on what your partner is comfortable with. If you do not like these online friendships, communicate it to him.

I hope this helps.

I am in a relationship for past six months. Everything is going well. She is kind, loving, understanding & supportive. Even my parents accept her. We want to get married in later part of year 2025. But sometimes i feel its too early to get married even after considering that we will be knowing each other for a year six months from now. What to do?

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
There is no hard and fast rule that you have to be dating for a certain period of time before you marry someone. But, of course, if you feel it's too soon, you can communicate your concern to your partner. After all, it is important to be on the same page. And who knows, maybe something your partner says or does can put your mind to ease.

Recently, I (28M) had surgery and have been bedridden for 15 days. During this time, my girlfriend told me her female friend wanted to meet up with a guy. This guy was bringing along a male friend whom I’ve asked my girlfriend to avoid in the past because he tends to get touchy with her. They planned to stay in a hotel, and her friend wanted to be with the guy at night, meaning my girlfriend and the touchy guy would likely share a single room. A couple of days before the trip, she asked me if she should go. I told her it was her choice but made it clear I wasn’t happy about it. Despite that, she went, and when I confronted her, she gave responses like: • “I didn’t invite the touchy guy; the other guy did.” • “Just because you’re bedridden, you don’t want me to go outside.” • “I didn’t touch him; he got touchy with me.” Yeah, maybe I’m jealous or overthinking, but this whole situation has made me unsure about marriage altogether. Am I overreacting?

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I really cannot comment if you are overreacting or have every reason to feel this way without knowing a bit more about the entire situation. But what I can tell is that you should communicate your feelings to your partner. Let her know that while maintaining individuality or pursuing individual wishes in a relationship is important, it is equally important to pay heed to what makes your partner uncomfortable. Your request, from what information you have provided, seemed reasonable, while her reasoning that it is the guy's fault, not hers also makes perfect sense. So I think the best course of action is to let the situation calm down and have an open conversation. Could she have avoided this meetup to make you happy? Yes. But, she could've thought that if she avoids one thing for your happiness, you might start asking her to give up more things in the future, which is a real issue in many relationships. I think it is important to clear up all of these concerns and feelings before moving on with lifelong commitment.

Hope this helps

How to manage stress?

Ans: The first step is to become aware of what triggers your stress. This self-awareness allows you to address the root causes rather than just the symptoms. Once you identify these triggers, you can start exploring techniques that help you cope effectively.

One effective approach is to incorporate regular self-care practices into your daily routine. This could include activities that bring you joy and relaxation, such as exercise, meditation, or spending time in nature. These practices not only help calm the mind but also improve your overall mood and resilience to stress.

Talking to someone you trust, whether a friend, family member, or professional, can also be a powerful way to manage stress. Sharing your feelings and experiences helps lighten the emotional load and provides different perspectives that might help you navigate your challenges more effectively.

It's also important to focus on what you can control and let go of things that are beyond your influence. This shift in mindset can reduce feelings of helplessness and frustration. Setting realistic expectations for yourself and others can also alleviate unnecessary pressure.

Remember to give yourself permission to rest and recharge. Adequate sleep, a balanced diet, and time for relaxation are essential for managing stress. When you take care of your body and mind, you're better equipped to handle life's demands.

Lastly, cultivating a mindset of gratitude and mindfulness can help you stay present and appreciate the positive aspects of your life, even during stressful times. These practices can create a sense of balance and help you respond to stress in healthier, more constructive ways. By integrating these approaches into your life, you can build resilience and find a sense of peace amidst the chaos.
