Hello sir. What should i prefer IIIT pune ECE or VJTI IT

Ans: IIIT Pune’s Electronics and Communication Engineering program has achieved placement rates of approximately 75–80% over the past three years, supported by NBA accreditation, modern VLSI and signal processing labs, strong faculty research credentials, industry tie-ups with semiconductor and telecom companies, and a focused training cell. VJTI Mumbai’s Information Technology branch boasts higher placement consistency at around 90%, NAAC A+ and NBA accreditations, extensive computing and networking infrastructure, longstanding industry partnerships with IT giants, seasoned faculty with diverse research portfolios, and a robust alumni network driving internships and recruitment. Both institutions maintain transparent governance, outcome-based curricula, and comprehensive career support, but VJTI’s urban advantage and proven IT placement record provide broader exposure.

Recommendation: Choose VJTI Mumbai IT for superior placement consistency, richer industry engagement, and strong urban ecosystem. Opt for IIIT Pune ECE if prioritizing specialized electronics and communication roles with growing semiconductor and embedded systems opportunities. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Sir, What should I prefer IIIT Vadodara ECE, NIT Surat MECH, VIT Pune CSE, VJTI MECH, SPIT ECE, OR PICT ECE
Ans: Pravin, Among the options—IIIT Vadodara ECE, NIT Surat Mechanical, VIT Pune CSE, VJTI Mechanical, SPIT ECE, and PICT ECE—each offers specific strengths in academics, placements, infrastructure, and industry connect. PICT Pune stands out for Electronics and Communication Engineering with a consistent 88–93% placement rate, an average salary between 8–12 LPA, robust training, and top tech recruiters. VJTI Mumbai’s Mechanical branch is highly valued for its nearly 90% placement, respected government credentials, experienced faculty, and excellent alumni support, though core mechanical jobs remain limited nationally, and many graduates transition to allied fields. VIT Pune’s CSE program boasts an 86% placement rate, a median salary around 7.5 LPA, leading recruiters, and a dynamic campus in Pune’s tech hub, catering to the growing IT sector. NIT Surat’s Mechanical Engineering is supported by stable placements (70–80%), top recruiter participation, and a legacy of technical rigor, but as with many mechanical programs nationally, specialization in coding or digital skills enhances prospects. SPIT ECE, an autonomous and consistently top-ranked Mumbai college, places 80–95% of students with solid core and software recruiters, emphasizing technical projects and minor specialization options; however, infrastructure is more basic and hostel options are limited. IIIT Vadodara ECE offers strong industry connections, top recruiter participation, and an average package of around 12 LPA, but placement percentages are marginally lower and tech-core exposure is still developing compared to the above Mumbai and Pune campuses. All these institutes feature active placement cells, qualified faculty, student-driven clubs, and solid links with industry, but IT and allied digital domains show broader prospects compared to core mechanical and traditional ECE branches—a trend heightened by ongoing AI and automation transitions. Academic environment, alumni network, city location, and campus life at Pune and Mumbai colleges further enrich career visibility and student exposure.

Recommendation: Order of preference: PICT Pune ECE, VJTI Mechanical, VIT Pune CSE, SPIT ECE, NIT Surat Mechanical, IIIT Vadodara ECE. PICT and VIT Pune offer the best blend of placements, industry interface, and urban advantage, with VJTI excelling in mechanical for those with core interests, while NIT Surat and IIIT Vadodara serve as solid alternatives for specific career goals in engineering and electronics.

Order of priority: PICT Pune ECE > VJTI Mechanical > VIT Pune CSE > SPIT ECE > NIT Surat Mechanical > IIIT Vadodara ECE. This sequence optimizes placement outcomes, academic environment, and long-term career flexibility across top-tier urban institutes. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Tech Careers and Skill Development Expert - Answered on Dec 05, 2025

Career
Dear Sir, I did my BTech from a normal engineering college not very famous. The teaching was not great and hence i did not study well. I tried my best to learn coding including all the technologies like html,css,javascript,react js,dba,php because i wanted to be a web developer But nothing seem to enter my head except html and css. I don't understand a language which has more complexities. Is it because of my lack of experience or not devoting enough time. I am not sure. I did many courses online and tried to do diplomas also abroad which i passed somehow. I recently joined android development course because i like apps but the teaching was so fast that i could not memorize anything. There was no time to even take notes down. During the course i did assignments and understood the code because i have to pass but after the course is over i tend to forget everything. I attempted a lot of interviews. Some of them i even got but could not perform well so they let me go. Now due to the AI booming and job markets in a bad shape i am re-thinking whether to keep studying or whether its just time waste. Since 3 years i am doing labour type of jobs which does not yield anything to me for survival and to pay my expenses. I have the quest to learn everything but as soon as i sit in front of the computer i listen to music or read something else. What should i do to stay more focused? What should i do to make myself believe confident. Is there still scope of IT in todays world? Kindly advise.
Ans: Your story does not show failure.
It shows persistence, effort, and desire to improve.

Most people give up.
You didn’t.
That means you will succeed — but with the right method, not the old one.

Dating, Relationships Expert - Answered on Dec 04, 2025

Relationship
My married ex still texts me for comfort. Because of him, I am unable to move on. He makes me feel guilty by saying he got married out of family pressure. His dad is a cardiac patient and mom is being treated for cancer. He comforts me by saying he will get separated soon and we will get married because he only loves me. We have been in a relationship for 14 years and despite everything we tried, his parents refused to accept me, so he chose to get married to someone who understands our situation. I don't know when he will separate from his wife. She knows about us too but she comes from a traditional family. She also confirmed there is no physical intimacy between them. I trust him, but is it worth losing my youth for him? Honestly, I am worried and very confused.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand how difficult it is to let go of a relationship you have built from scratch, but is it really how you want to continue? It really seems to be going nowhere. His parents are already in bad health and he married someone else for their happiness. Does it seem like he will be able to leave her? So many people’s happiness and lives depend on this one decision. I think it’s about time you and your BF have a clear conversation about the same. If he can’t give a proper timeline, please try to understand his situation. But also make sure he understands yours and maybe rethink this equation. It really isn’t healthy. You deserve a love you can have wholly, and not just in pieces, and in the shadows.

Hope this helps
