Question by mohan - Mar 15, 2023Hindi

Career

how is the career in data science. I am an engineer and 50 now. is it worth trying this now.

Ans: A career in Data science is promising. Today, we rely on data for all our decision making whether it be in Financial Services, Education, or any business that is currently operating relies on people who can help evaluate data in the right ways. It's never too late to start & worth trying right now too. I would recommend taking up some free courses to get the hang of what is required post which you can explore a formal education in an executive setting if needed.

Question by Venkat - May 10, 2026Hindi

Career

Sir My son has got 147660 rank in viteee, which branch in which campus he can get He got 25778 rank in AEEE2026 WHAT IS HIS CHANCES

Ans: Venkat Sir, At VITEEE rank 1,47,660, Vellore/Chennai and CSE are practically not possible. As ranks above 1,00,000 are generally considered only for VIT-AP and VIT Bhopal, try Mechanical, Civil, EEE, Electronics-related, Integrated M.Tech, or lower-demand specialisations in Category 5, subject to seat availability and high fee category. At AEEE rank 25,778, CSE/ECE at Coimbatore is very unlikely. You can try Amritapuri/Bengaluru/Chennai/Amaravati for Mechanical, EEE, Civil, Automation/Robotics, or lower-demand branches in later rounds. It is also better to have 2-3 more backup options. All the Best for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Career

My daughter has scored 97.4 percentile in jee paper 2 b arch n rank is 1742..will she be able to get admission in any SPA or Not?

Ans: Vaishnavi Madam, With JEE Paper 2 B.Arch rank 1742, SPA Delhi/Bhopal/Vijayawada is unlikely for Open-General female, as recent SPA B.Arch closing ranks are generally within the top few hundred. For NIT B.Arch., chances are moderate only in selected cases: NIT Patna may be possible mainly through the Home State/female quota; NIT Raipur/most top NITs look difficult in OS (open female) based on recent closings. It is advisable to have also backup options of NATA-based good architecture colleges, state counselling, and CSAB special rounds. All the Best for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future!

Sir....I am from Mohali near to Chandigarh

Ans: For CSE, try Punjab Engineering College, University Institute of Engineering and Technology, Panjab University, Chandigarh University, and Chandigarh Group of Colleges (CGC) - CGC Landran and CGC University, Mohali; among private colleges, CGC Landran/CGC University. Visit the campus in person before finalizing the admission based on online reviews, consultation, etc., as your daughter has to spend 4-5 years in the college and campus.

Question by AMIT - May 10, 2026Hindi

Career

Sir I have got 4101 rank on SRM 2026 which faculty is best for higher job possibilities and large scale of job placement cs core or cs ai and ml please suggest me for SRM ktr main campus

Ans: Amit, with SRMJEEE rank 4,101, SRM KTR main campus CSE Core is borderline/difficult, because many estimates place KTR CSE Core around 2,000–2,500, while CSE specializations may go up to around 8,000. So, CSE AI & ML at KTR is more realistic than CSE Core.

For job possibilities, CSE Core is slightly broader for software, cloud, data, product, and government/PSU flexibility; however, CSE AI & ML is also excellent if the student builds strong coding, DSA, Python, ML projects, internships and a GitHub portfolio. SRM’s official AI & ML page confirms it is a CSE specialization focused on AI/ML curriculum.

Recommendation: Choose KTR CSE Core if allotted; otherwise, KTR CSE AI & ML is a very good choice. Backups you can have are KTR CSE Data Science/Cyber Security/IT, SRM Ramapuram CSE, & SRM-AP-CSE. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future!

What about mait delhi as a backup plan.

Ans: Yes. It is a good option.

Asked on - May 12, 2026 | Answered on May 12, 2026

In your opinion will it be worth waiting for admission in iiits tier 2 like sonipat, una, dharwad, kottayam.

Ans: Yes, you can wait. But if you feel unsafe, you can take temporary admission to the preferred college and branch, assuming that if you get admission via CSAB, you may lose some amount paid. Some private institutes/universities refund the maximum amount, deducting an administrative charge. But you have to talk with them clearly about the refund of fees at the time of cancellation of admission. Many parents do this exercise, hoping that at most they will lose some amount!

Question by Aayush - May 10, 2026Hindi

Career

I got a rank of 31553 in VITEEE 2026, will i get CSE core/CSE AI ML in VIT AP in category 1?

Ans: Aayush, with a VITEEE rank of 31,553, VIT-AP CSE Core in Category 1 is possible but not 100% safe. Recent expected cut-off ranges show VIT-AP CSE Core Category 1 around 30,000–45,000, so your rank is within range. CSE AI/ML is safer, as expected, the category 1 range is around 45,000–60,000 in some counselling estimates. Another source estimates VIT-AP CSE Category 1 under 45,000 and CSE specializations around 60,000 for Category 1, again supporting good chances. However, VIT does not publish a fully transparent official branch-wise closing-rank PDF every year, so treat these as strong estimates, not guarantees.

The best preference can be VIT-AP CSE Core Category-1 → CSE AI/ML Category-1 → CSE AI&DS/Data Analytics/Cyber Security Cat 1 → VIT Bhopal CSE Category-1. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future!

Question by jagjit - May 11, 2026Hindi

Career

Sir , I am interested in taking admission at thapar , Patiala. Unfortunately, based on my marks, Computer Science may not be possible, but I still have options like ECE, Electrical, and VLSI. I am currently very confused because my priority is long-term career opportunities rather than existing interest, since I honestly don’t have enough exposure to any branch yet. I believe I can develop interest after learning the field properly. Could you please guide me from a practical career perspective: * Which branch currently has better placement opportunities and job security? * Which field has better scope in government exams/jobs and private sector too * Which branch offers better opportunities abroad in the future? * Which branch has stronger growth in the private sector over the next 5–10 years? * Between ECE, Electrical, and VLSI, which would you personally recommend for someone prioritizing career opportunities, flexibility, and future scope?

Ans: For long-term career growth, flexibility, placements, higher studies and future tech opportunities, Prefer Thapar ECE > VLSI > Electrical because ECE keeps both software and electronics careers open, has strong private-sector growth (chips, embedded systems, telecom, AI hardware), good abroad/MS opportunities, decent government-job eligibility, and usually better placement flexibility than pure Electrical, while VLSI is highly promising but more specialized and somewhat dependent on semiconductor industry growth. However, it is highly recommended to give importance to your basic interests. Without interest, if you will choose a branch and college for a brand name, the output will be zero. Be careful about your career plan. Give value to your interest only.

Good luck.

Question by Rajesh - May 12, 2026Hindi

Career

Good Morning Sir, My son has scored 99.19 percentile in JEE Mains and he prefers ECE over CSE in NITs What is the possibility of getting ECE in NITK ?

Ans: There is a chance of getting ECE/CSE at NIT KTR with HS, if you have it. Through the Other State quota, it is borderline to difficult in regular JoSAA rounds, but may become possible in later rounds depending on cutoff movement. Yet anything can happen during counselling. Keep a close eye on the counselling process and fill out the preferences very carefully.

Good luck.

Question by Tripurari - May 10, 2026Hindi

Career

My son has 92 Marks in MIT Manipal 2026 ,he has 85 percent marks in his 12 th board from CBSE What are the chances to get a seat in CSE.

Ans: Tripurari, With MET 92/240 + 85% CBSE, CSE at MIT Manipal's main campus is very unlikely. In 2025, MIT Manipal CSE closed around rank 5,129, and Bengaluru CSE around 11,331–13,834 across rounds, so your son’s likely rank may be beyond the Manipal/Bengaluru CSE range. Better chances are Manipal Jaipur CSE, where 2025 CSE closing was around 33,571, and SMIT Sikkim CSE/IT, where earlier CSE closing ranks were much higher. Preference can be MIT Bengaluru ECE/Electronics & Computer → MUJ CSE/AI/IT → SMIT CSE/IT. All the Best for Your Son's Prosperous Future!
