Ans: Good, you are much interested in 1st year itself in knowing what you should do during the next 3-years:

(1) Initially for 6-months to 1-year focus fully on your Studies understanding the basic Concepts of Data Analytics
(2) Create a Professional LinkedIn Profile for You.

(4) Whenever you get notifications of job vacancies, thoroughly go through the JD of each job vacancy.
(5) Know the Job Market Trends & keep upgrading accordingly till 3rd year.
(6) Connect with other Professionals of your domain in LinkedIn (not to ask for jobs) but to know about them/their background/their views/job vacancies, if any, posted by them.
(7) Ask your faculties (who are the best sources) to know which additional Certifications you should have to be competitive in the job market & to get ready for the job.

(10) You should keep upgrading your skills continuously even after you land into any job.

Hi, I am working as MIS in a FMCG company with aged 41 years. Thinking to learn new data tools and want to apply for Data analyst. Am in a confusion whether to change the career

Ans: It's hard to change jobs when you're 41, but it's not impossible. If data interests you, start learning and make the switch slowly instead of all at once. Before moving up to a full-fledged Data Analyst job, you might need to get more experience in your present role, such as by working on Power BI reports or data analysis projects.

If you're really interested, go for it! There are lots of job opportunities in the area of data analytics, which is growing. All the Best for your Prosperous Future.

Sir,I am getting spit ece and dj sanghvi cse.Which will be the best option for me?.In both the colleges I am getting tfws seat through mhtcet

Ans: Both Sardar Patel Institute of Technology's Electronics & Communication Engineering and DJ Sanghvi College of Engineering's Computer Science & Engineering are offered at NAAC-accredited institutions with strong infrastructure, qualified faculty, industry-linked internships and dedicated placement cells. SPIT Mumbai's ECE program benefits from autonomous status, advanced VLSI and communication labs, mandatory six-month internships and achieved an 82–95% placement consistency over three years. DJ Sanghvi's CSE program holds NAAC A-grade accreditation, features specialized AI/ML and software development labs, semester-long internships and recorded a 96% CSE placement rate with an average package of ?10.78 LPA in 2023-24. Both institutions offer TFWS seats for eligible Maharashtra state candidates with family income below ?8 lakh, providing complete tuition fee waiver throughout the four-year duration. The scheme reserves 5% of total sanctioned seats as supernumerary seats, ensuring cost-effective quality education.

recommendation
For superior software development opportunities and higher placement consistency, recommendation is DJ Sanghvi CSE under TFWS. If specialized electronics and communication training with strong hardware industry exposure appeals more, choose SPIT ECE under TFWS. Both options provide excellent value through the tuition fee waiver scheme. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

My son iiser score sc category 9845 raks hai.kahi par counciling me number pad sakta hai kya

Ans: SC category ke liye IISERs ki last year ki closing ranks 700 se 1000 ke andar hi rahi hain, aur 2025 ke expected cutoffs bhi isi range mein hain. Aapke bete ka rank 9845 hai, jo current trends ke hisaab se kisi bhi IISER campus mein seat milne ke liye kaafi zyada hai. Ab tak kisi round mein SC category ke liye itni high rank par admission nahi hua hai, aur even spot/extended rounds mein bhi closing ranks 1000 ke aaspaas hi ruki hain.

recommendation
Aapke bete ka admission IISERs mein is rank par possible nahi hai. Alternate science universities ya state-level research programs mein apply karna behtar rahega. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
