Hello sir..good morning. I am following your suggestions regularly in this platform which are very apt and rational. Thanks My daughter has secured 16478 rank in JEE mains with 98.97 percentile and 532 rank in KCET. JoSAA 1st round seat allotment is over and allotted with CSE core branch in IIITDM Kanchipuram and chosen float option.Subsequent rounds she may get mostly EEE in NIT Calicut or ICE in NIT Trichy and some probability of CSE in NIT Goa or ECE in VNIT Nagpur or MnC/ AI&data in SVNIT Surat based on our choice preference. KCET counseling is yet to start but based on last year closing rank, she may get ISE or CSE (data science/ cyber security) but not CSEcore branch in RVengineering college bangalore. She understands the importance of securing CSE branch in good college ( but not very interested in coding but her favourite subject is Maths). Given this scenario, kindly chose which academic program (college+branch) to choose. We are ok whatever best suits her career. Look forward to your reply.Regards

Ans: I fully read your question. Please give utmost importance to get admission through KCET (than JEE). (1) I noticed that you have totally missed BMS which also has Data Science, Cyber Security & IoT Options. As far as your daughter's KCET Rank is concerned, she will get any one of these Streams. Consider BMS as your 1st Choice (2) RVCE-DS & CS (3) Please try to ignore ISE, ICE & EEE as these streams are not much suitable for most of the girls (unless interested in). Chances are more, she would definitely get admission into any of the Streams she prefers (than CSE) for her KCET Rank of 532. If not, (4) SVNIT-Surat (6) NIT-Goa. (7) VNIT-Nagpur-ECE.

All the BEST for your Daughter's Bright Future.

Thanks Sir. I would also request you to give your advise on on 1) IIIT DM Kanchipuram - CSE which are allotted though floated. 2) I meant ISE as information science engineering, please clarify why it is not preferrable to female aspirants? 3) RVCE is perceived as no.1 college after NITK in karnataka, reasons for suggesting BMS over RVCE? 4. Which one you suggest CSE core subject Or CSE- data science/ cyber/ AI Kindly support. Thanks a lot
Ans: Information Science is related to building software / embedded applications which your daughter will be interested in? As your daughter's favourite subject is Maths (and not CSE-Core-Software-Coding), Data Science can be preferred. Cyber Security / AL-ML involves coding to some extent, which if she is sure, can manage, have this as a 2nd choice. Regarding BMS & RVCE, though both are equally good, BMS has better NIRF ranking (difference of hardly 15-20) and it is in city limit (Adugodi), whereas RVCE is in Mysore Road (slightly outer). If you are based in Bengaluru, prefer nearby your residence or check whether BMS provides college bus. If your daughter will stay in Hostel, you can choose the more suitable one for her.

Hi I'm 46 years and an entrepreneur for 20 years. I have hit a point now where I seem to have lost everything and seems like I'm at minus 1000 as I don't know what to do at the moment. I'm in the process of clearing my debts and raising some monies by selling a property that I own. Not sure how to even explore something new as in not sure of my skill sets that i possess. Societal pressure is also there in the kind of work/business that I would pursue. My wife too is exploring new opportunities and I'm sure she will pursue something in the months to come. But my lifes aim or purpose seems to be in the crossroads. Not sure if I'm even capable of doing anything. Always u der constant stress and dilemma. Not even sure if this is the form where I need to put out something like this.
Ans: You're at a difficult but pivotal point in your life. After 20 years as an entrepreneur, facing setbacks can feel like losing your identity—but this is not the end. Selling property to clear debts is a smart move—it gives you space to think clearly. Your skills—strategic thinking, leadership, operations, decision-making—are still valuable and transferable.

This is a time to reassess, not retreat. You can explore consulting, advisory roles, or leadership positions in businesses that need your experience. You may also need support—through coaching or mentorship—to rebuild clarity and confidence.

Don’t let societal pressure decide your next step. Focus on what’s practical, meaningful, and aligned with your stage in life. You’re not starting over—you’re realigning. With clear planning, you can create a strong second chapter.
