Hello I work in a telecom PSU for the last 13 years. Now I want to change job due to stagnation. I am a B.Tech in E&T engg. I am now 37 yrs. Please suggest how can I change job ..

Ans: Sai, Yes, SIT Pune is possible, especially for ECE/EE-related branches. For AI & ML, chances are moderate to slightly difficult because computer/AI branches usually close higher than ECE/EE. For ECE/EE, chances are better, depending on seat availability and counselling round. Also apply through MHT-CET/SITEEE route if available. It is advisable to have the following backup options also: MIT-WPU, DY Patil Pune, PCCOE, Ajeenkya DY Patil, VIIT/VU Pune, and Bharati Vidyapeeth Pune. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Ans: Based on your score, chances are very low for IIIT Nagpur CSE/IT, IIIT Pune CSE/IT, and VNIT Nagpur ECE through JoSAA. In 2025, IIIT Nagpur CSE closed around 7,431 SC, and AI/DS-related branches also closed much below your rank. IIIT Pune has only CSE and ECE, not IT; CSE closed around 5,646 SC and ECE around 6,747 SC. For VNIT Nagpur ECE, SC closing trends are also far below 15,083, so it is not realistic. Still, you can try. It is advisable to have the following backup options: CSAB special rounds, lower-demand branches in newer NITs/GFTIs, IIITs with ECE/Smart Manufacturing-type branches, and Maharashtra options through MHT-CET/CAP such as PCCOE, VIIT, DY Patil, MIT-WPU, and other good state/private colleges. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Ans: Sai, yes, MIT-WPU AI & ML is possible, but CSE is difficult at an 85.9 JEE percentile. You meet eligibility: MIT-WPU requires a minimum 50% Class 12/HSC aggregate for B.Tech CSE, and selection is based on JEE/MHT-CET/PERA score + SOP. As per 2025 CAP Round 1, Computer Engineering closed around the 91.13 percentile, while AI & ML closed around 87.93 percentile. So apply, but keep backups like IT, E&TC, Mechanical, MIT-AOE, DY Patil, PCCOE, VIIT. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Ans: Based on your score, MBM Jodhpur CSE is borderline to possible, because educational cut-off trackers report MBM CSE around 85 percentile in recent REAP trends, but official MBM admission is through REAP counselling, not JoSAA. Best strategy is to fill MBM CSE, AI/DS, IT/ECE, then other Rajasthan government/REAP colleges like CTA Udaipur, RTU Kota, ECB Bikaner, plus private backups JECRC, SKIT, Poornima, Arya, LNCT/AKTU options. For MBM, also stay active till upward movement/spot rounds. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Ans: Not possible to answer such questions. Sorry.

Ans: Chances with top NITs/IIITs are almost nil. You have a realistic chance at lower/newer NITs (branches like Civil, Mechanical, Metallurgy, Production, Biotechnology, Chemical) and some lower-demand IIITs in later JoSAA/CSAB rounds.

Good luck.

Ans: Chances with top NITs/IIITs are almost nil. Try with lower-demand branches like Civil, Mechanical, Production, Metallurgy, Chemical, and Biotechnology in lower NITs/IIITs. Your exact chances depend much more on your SC rank than on AIR.

Good luck.

Ans: Try CSE / CSE Specialization / ECE with newer IIITs and lower/mid NIT circuit branches. For example, IIIT Kottayam / Dharwad / Kalyani / Bhagalpur / Ranchi / Agartala / Dharwad for CSE/IT-related branches with homestate and female quota.

Good luck.

Ans: Top NITs/IIITs are not possible. Try with lower NITs/IIITs or less-demand branches (civil, mechanical, biotech)

Good luck.
