i am 22 year olf female confused in career

Ans: Hi Roshni.

I hope you're doing well.

I understand that feeling confused about your career path can be overwhelming and stressful. It's important to remember that it's normal to feel this way at any age, but especially in your early 20s when you are still exploring your interests and passions.

To help clarify your career direction, I suggest taking some time for self-reflection and assessment. Start by asking yourself questions like: What do you enjoy doing? What skills and talents do you possess? What are your values and priorities? What kind of work environment do you thrive in?

You can also try talking to people in different professions, attending career fairs, and taking career assessments to gain more insight into your career options. Networking with professionals in your desired field can also provide you with valuable information and guidance.

Remember that it's okay to explore different career paths and try out new things before making a final decision. It's important to find a career that aligns with your values and passions, and that will bring you fulfillment and happiness in the long term.

If you continue to struggle with this, consider speaking to a professional who can provide you with personalized guidance and support in your career exploration.

Regards,
Abhishek Shah

Sir, what is the difference between IITs and NITs? Do you think IIITs are better than IITs? Can you please explain and elaborate? Thank you in advance.
Ans: Hello
I would like to mention specifically that IITs have no comparison. IIT-JEE is considered as one of the toughest exam across the globe & hence IITs are the best. Now coming to comparing NIT Vs IIIT, in my view I have considered following points:

IIITs (Indian Institutes of Information Technology) are often considered better than NITs (National Institutes of Technology) for Computer Science and allied courses (like IT, AI, Data Science, etc.) due to several factors.

1. Core Focus on Computer Science & IT
IIITs are dedicated to IT & CS fields, while NITs offer a broad range of engineering disciplines.
Due to this focus, IIITs often have better faculty, research opportunities, and industry collaborations in CS-related fields.
Many IIITs are industry-driven, ensuring that their curriculum is updated with modern technologies like AI, ML, Blockchain, and Cloud Computing.

2. Stronger Industry Connections & Placements
IIITs, especially top ones like IIIT Hyderabad, IIIT Bangalore, and IIIT Delhi, have excellent industry relations.
Companies like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Adobe prefer IIITs over most NITs for software roles due to their specialized training.
IIIT Hyderabad, for example, has one of the highest average packages for CSE among engineering colleges in India, even competing with IITs.

3. Better Coding Culture & Research in CS Fields
IIITs have a very strong coding culture, with students excelling in competitive programming (Google Code Jam, ACM ICPC) and hackathons.
They also focus heavily on research and innovation in CS, contributing to AI, ML, and Data Science research worldwide.
IIIT Hyderabad, in particular, has research centers (CVIT, ML Lab, Blockchain Lab, etc.) that rival global universities.

4. Flexible & Modern Curriculum
IIITs usually have a more flexible curriculum, allowing students to take electives in trending areas like AI, Cybersecurity, and Data Science.
Some IIITs have no strict branch system, allowing students to focus on multiple CS fields.
In contrast, NITs follow a more traditional curriculum, which may not be as updated for CS innovations.


5. Higher Coding & Competitive Programming Rankings
IIIT students often dominate Google Summer of Code (GSoC), ACM ICPC, and CodeForces rankings.
IIIT Hyderabad, IIIT Allahabad, and IIIT Delhi are known for their strong competitive coding culture, often outperforming NITs.


When NITs Might Be a Better Option
While IIITs are excellent for CS, there are some cases where an NIT might be preferable:

If considering a non-CS branch, NITs are better because IIITs mainly focus on CS and related fields.
Top NITs like NIT Trichy, NIT Surathkal, and NIT Warangal have excellent placements in CSE, sometimes better than newer IIITs.
NITs have a stronger alumni network, which can help in diverse career opportunities.
NITs offer better campus life and infrastructure, as IIITs often have smaller campuses.

For CSE & allied courses, top IIITs like IIIT Hyderabad, IIIT Delhi, and IIIT Bangalore are usually a better choice than most NITs due to their strong coding culture, placements, research, and industry collaborations. However, for overall campus life, government funding, and non-CS branches, top NITs might be preferable.
