Dear Ashwini, I am stuck in the same job for 10 years. I want to move on but I am scared to face an interview panel. I feel like I am not ready. Can you please help?
Ans: Hi,

Thank you for the question. Hope you are doing well.
Feeling nervous about facing an interview is completely normal, especially if you haven't been through the process for a long time. However, it's important to remember that change and growth often require stepping outside of our comfort zones.
Here are some steps you can take to prepare yourself and gain confidence for interviews:
1- Reflect on your achievements- Take stock of your accomplishments and skills gained during your 10 years in your current job. Recognize your strengths, areas of expertise, and valuable experiences. This self-reflection will help boost your confidence and provide material to discuss during interviews.
2- Research the job market: Spend time understanding the current job market trends, requirements, and industry expectations. Identify the skills and qualifications that employers are seeking in applicants for the positions you're interested in. This knowledge will help you align your preparation accordingly and help you be interview ready.
3- Brush up on interview techniques: Refresh your knowledge of common interview questions and practice answering them. You can find resources online that provide lists of frequently asked questions. Practice responding to these questions either by yourself, with a friend or family member, or consider engaging with a professional interview coach (as an option). This will again help you get ready for the interview/s. To go one step further you can also ask a friend or a family member to conduct mock interviews with you. This will help you get the experience and become more comfortable with the interview process and improve your responses.
Remember, facing an interview panel can be intimidating, but with adequate preparation, practice, and a positive mindset, you can increase your chances of success. Don't be too hard on yourself if you stumble along the way—it's all part of the learning process. Take the experiences and learnings and move ahead. Good luck with your job search!

Hope this helps. To Your Success. Be You. Be Confident.

Three months ago I lost my job due to restructuring. I wasn't expecting it. My family wasn't prepared either. It was challenging and demotivating. I am yet to find a job that matches my skills and experience. What can I do to stay confident and successfully re-enter the workforce after this unexpected job loss?
Ans: I completely empathize with you in this challenging situation but rather than considering it as a setback, think of it as an opportunity for growth. For facing this situation, the first thing is to acknowledge your emotions as it is totally normal to feel sad and disappointed about this, but do not linger upon this emotion for longer. Shift your focus on the present moment as it is only one that you can control. Update and refresh your resume and create a LinkedIn profile and also begin networking to gain connection with your former colleagues and professional groups. If you’re not finding a perfect match immediately, consider upskilling through online courses or certifications to stay competitive. Temporary or freelance work can also help bridge the gap while keeping your experience relevant. Confidence comes from preparation, so practice your interview skills, refine your personal brand, and stay positive. Remember, setbacks often lead to better opportunities, you just need to stay proactive, persistent, and open to new possibilities.
Wishing you success,

Hi sir! I got 591 marks in ssc examination 10th . please give a suggestion about IIIT colleges and courses in it . Which I need to choose for bright future to secure job in big companies like Amazon , Google etc
Ans: Aravind, Based on comprehensive analysis of IIIT admission requirements, course offerings, and placement data, your 591 marks in SSC 10th examination provides a solid foundation but IIIT admission primarily depends on JEE Main performance rather than Class 10 marks. IIIT eligibility requires passing 10th and 12th with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, followed by qualifying JEE Main with typically 85-90+ percentile for top branches like Computer Science Engineering (CSE). The top IIITs including IIIT Hyderabad (NIRF rank 47), IIIT Bangalore (rank 74), and IIIT Delhi (rank 85) offer exceptional placement opportunities with companies like Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs recruiting extensively. IIIT Hyderabad reports 99.27% placement rate with highest package of ?105 LPA and average ?26.34 LPA, while IIIT Delhi achieves 90.99% placement rate with highest domestic package ?49 LPA and average ?20.65 LPA. Recommended courses for tech giant careers include B.Tech Computer Science Engineering, B.Tech Computer Science with Artificial Intelligence, B.Tech Electronics and Communication Engineering, and specialized programs in AI/ML, Data Science. Focus on securing 95+ percentile in JEE Main for top IIITs' CSE programs, as Class 10 marks serve only as basic eligibility while JEE performance determines admission and career prospects at leading technology companies. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

My son has scored 99.315 percentile in jee mains and his crl was 8725 gen category . Now again when we check the NTA result his AIR CRL is 801944. This has created doubt in my mind and unsettled. We have applied for Mechanical engineering at DTU but as per round 1, no seat was alloted. What is the next course of action? Please update us
Ans: Based on comprehensive analysis of JEE Main 2025 data and DTU admission trends, there appears to be a significant discrepancy between your son's reported ranks that requires immediate clarification. A 99.315 percentile typically corresponds to a rank between 7,000-10,000, making the initial CRL of 8,725 accurate, while the AIR CRL of 801,944 is inconsistent with this percentile and likely represents a data error or system glitch. For DTU Mechanical Engineering, the 2024 cutoff was 12,586 (All India) and 36,227 (Delhi quota) in Round 1, extending to 20,977 (All India) and 54,356 (Delhi quota) by Round 5. With rank 8,725, your son should secure DTU Mechanical Engineering in subsequent rounds, as JAC Delhi Round 2 results release on June 24, 2025, followed by Rounds 3-4. Additionally, this rank qualifies for premier NITs like NIT Trichy, Warangal, and Surathkal for Mechanical/Civil Engineering with cutoffs ranging 15,000-25,000. Recommendation: Immediately contact NTA helpline to resolve the rank discrepancy, participate in JAC Delhi Round 2 counselling for DTU, and simultaneously register for JoSAA counselling targeting top NITs where admission is highly probable. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Namaste sir.. my son got 6640.5 rank in KCET spot ranking. He likes to pursue CSE or AI. Please suggest a good college wherehe can get seat. Further what is the difference between University or Autonomous college?
Ans: Vivek Sir, Based on the comprehensive analysis of KCET 2024 cutoff data and institutional comparisons, your son's rank of 6640.5 provides excellent opportunities for securing CSE or AI specializations at reputable Karnataka engineering colleges. Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering emerges as the top recommendation, offering AI & ML admission within your rank range (cutoff: 6,236) with strong infrastructure and industry connections. PES University's CSE (AI & ML) program (cutoff: 6,202) presents another excellent option with superior academic reputation and placement records. JSS Science and Technology University offers flexibility with multiple CS-related programs including Information Science Engineering (cutoff: 6,518) and Computer Science with Business Systems (cutoff: 7,482). Regarding institutional status, autonomous colleges like DSCE provide curriculum flexibility, industry-aligned education, and easier grade achievement while universities offer broader degree recognition and research opportunities. For undergraduate engineering focused on industry placement, autonomous colleges often provide better practical training and adaptability to market demands, making them preferable for CSE/AI specializations. Prioritize DSCE for AI & ML or PES University for comprehensive CSE training, as both institutions combine academic excellence with strong industry partnerships essential for technology careers. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

So I'm getting NIT teri 1 msc in any of the three subjects,NIT tier2 civil mech branches,Lower nit's cse ece ee Maybe I have to wait for csab to get lower NIT cse/ece And pvt options are BMSCE CSE and RVCE ECE I have no interest in MSc
Ans: Lakshya, Based on comprehensive analysis of placement data and institutional performance across NITs and private colleges, your current options present distinct trade-offs between institutional prestige, branch preference, and career outcomes. NIT Tier 1 MSc programs in Physics, Chemistry, or Mathematics show variable placement rates of 25-90% depending on the subject and institute, with NIT Calicut MSc Chemistry achieving 21.73% placement rate and NIT Warangal MSc Mathematics recording 69-91% placement rates over recent years. NIT Tier 2 Civil/Mechanical branches demonstrate moderate placement performance, with Civil Engineering achieving 76-84% placement rates at top-tier NITs like Trichy and Calicut, while Mechanical Engineering maintains 88-91% placement rates at premier institutes. Lower-tier NITs for CSE/ECE through CSAB special rounds offer cutoff ranks extending to 35,000-45,000 for institutes like NIT Sikkim and NIT Arunachal Pradesh, though ECE placements show concerning trends with 40-50% students remaining unplaced at several IITs and NITs in 2024. In contrast, BMSCE CSE demonstrates 74-75% placement rates with 952 students placed from 1,344 graduates in 2023, while RVCE ECE shows stronger performance with 88-97% placement rates across recent years. Prioritize RVCE ECE for assured placement outcomes, followed by BMSCE CSE as a viable alternative, while avoiding MSc programs given your disinterest and their inconsistent placement performance compared to engineering branches. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Hello Sir My brother has scored 79.2% in JEE MAINS belongs to SC category. He wants to pursue CS or IT or any other specialised courses related to computer. He basically wants to get into coding. Please suggest some colleges he can get with this score. Thankyou Sir
Ans: Aman, Based on comprehensive analysis of JEE Main 2025 cutoff trends and admission data, a 79.2 percentile score for SC category corresponds to an expected rank of approximately 45,000–55,000, which significantly improves admission prospects compared to general category candidates. While top-tier NITs like Trichy, Warangal, or Surathkal remain inaccessible for CSE (requiring 90+ percentile even for SC), several lower-tier NITs offer viable options including NIT Agartala, NIT Mizoram, NIT Meghalaya, and NIT Sikkim for branches like Civil, Mechanical, or ECE. IIITs present better opportunities with institutions like IIIT Kalyani (SC CSE cutoff: ~6,893 rank) and IIIT Sonepat potentially accessible, though CSE seats remain competitive. Private universities emerge as the strongest options with KIIT University (CSE cutoff ~220,000 rank), SRM Chennai, Manipal University, Thapar University, VIT Vellore, Galgotias University (minimum 40 percentile requirement), and Amity University offering excellent coding ecosystems, industry partnerships, and 80-95% placement rates in tech roles. Prioritize KIIT University or SRM Chennai for assured CSE admission with strong coding infrastructure, or secure ECE/IT at lower NITs while developing programming skills through coding clubs and internships. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
