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,

What nits should I choose, so I have secured 17300 rank in jee mains my home state is up and I am not getting branches like ee or cse so what should I choose mechanical at nit allahabad or get ece in lower nit bhopal or to choose dtu. Please sir help I am very confused about this
Ans: Prakhar, With a JEE Main rank of 17,300 and Home State (UP) status, Mechanical Engineering at NIT Allahabad emerges as the most viable option, given its 2024 closing rank of 19,748 for Home State quotas, aligning closely with your rank. NIT Allahabad’s Mechanical program demonstrates a 93% placement rate (2024) with core roles in automotive and manufacturing sectors from recruiters like Tata, L&T, and Siemens, alongside a robust internship rate of 60%. Comparatively, NIT Bhopal’s ECE program remains inaccessible with your rank, as its 2024 closing rank for ECE (Other State) was 2,338, far exceeding your current standing. DTU’s Mechanical Engineering, while offering 85% placement rates (2024) and exposure through Delhi’s industrial ecosystem, shows a 2024 closing rank range of 12,586–20,977 (General All India), positioning your rank at the higher end of the cutoff spectrum with no Home State advantage. While DTU provides broader interdisciplinary opportunities and IT recruitment via companies like Microsoft and Amazon, NIT Allahabad’s Mechanical program ensures stronger placement stability and home state quota benefits. Recommendation: Opt for Mechanical Engineering at NIT Allahabad for assured placements and core industry alignment, prioritizing program-specific opportunities over DTU’s location advantage given comparable academic rigor and higher placement certainty. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

I got 79.7 percentile in jee mains obc-girl and 78% in 12th board and vit rank 1,14,XXX what branch can I get in vit bhopal in cat1 or 2 and also please suggest me some good colleges in Rajasthan, Gujarat and delhi My domicile is Rajasthan Please help
Ans: With a VITEEE rank of 114,000, admission to VIT Bhopal under Category 1 or 2 for high-demand branches like Computer Science (CSE) or Electronics (ECE) is improbable, as 2024 cutoffs for these categories closed at 28,000–34,000 for CSE and 42,000–48,000 for ECE. However, Category 3 or 4 admissions in Mechanical Engineering or Civil Engineering may be feasible, given historical cutoffs exceeding 50,000–60,000 ranks for these branches. For Rajasthan domicile candidates, MNIT Jaipur remains a top choice with 81.51% UG placement rates (2024), though the JEE Main 79.7 percentile (≈1.7 Lakh rank) falls below MNIT’s OBC cutoff for CSE (≈45,000–60,000). Consider Rajasthan Technical University (RTU) affiliates like MBM Engineering College or Govt. Engineering College Udaipur via REAP, which accept lower JEE ranks under state quotas. In Gujarat, Nirma University offers 90% placement rates for CSE with admissions via JEE Main/GUJCET, aligning with your academic profile. Delhi/NCR options include Maharaja Agrasen Institute of Technology (MAIT) or BPIT for ECE/IT, given their JEE Main cutoffs around 1.5–2 Lakh ranks for OBC candidates. Recommendation: Prioritize VIT Bhopal’s Category 3/4 for Mechanical/Civil, apply to Nirma University (Gujarat) and RTU-affiliated colleges (Rajasthan), and explore MAIT/BPIT (Delhi) as backups, leveraging state quotas and OBC reservations for optimal admission outcomes. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Hi Sir For my daughter, please suggest which one should opt. EEE in MSRIT, ECE in Ramiah University, ECE in BMSIT, ECE in Manipal-Bangalore. Based on Kcet rank and MIT rank, above options were available. Especially would like to know about group choice as well. EEE/EIT/ETE she will get in MSRIT. Request to guide on the above
Ans: MSRIT EEE demonstrates a 73% placement rate (2024) with core electrical roles from recruiters like Tata Power and Siemens, though student reviews highlight a heavy curriculum limiting coding opportunities. Ramaiah University (MSRUAS) ECE reports a 96% placement rate (NIRF 2025) with roles in IoT and embedded systems, supported by 300+ recruiters including L&T and Infosys. BMSIT ECE shows lower placement traction at 56.41% (2024), with limited core roles and emphasis on IT recruitment. Manipal-Bangalore ECE offers 85–90% placements (2025) in semiconductor and telecom sectors via companies like Qualcomm and Micron, alongside robust coding culture and modern labs. While MSRIT’s EEE provides strong industry linkages, its rigorous syllabus may constrain career flexibility. Ramaiah University’s ECE combines high placement rates with emerging specializations, whereas Manipal-Bangalore balances core and IT opportunities. BMSIT lags in placement stability. Recommendation: Prioritize Manipal-Bangalore ECE for balanced academic rigor and diverse roles, or Ramaiah University ECE for higher placement assurance, depending on preference for innovation versus established infrastructure. All the BEST for your Daughter's Admission & a Prosperous Future!
