Hello sir, I have completed diploma in ECE and currently working in railway now I want to complete next higher education i.e. B. tech. Please help me for online courses to upgrade my qualifications.

Ans: Hi Rajiv,

Congratulations on completing your diploma in ECE and pursuing higher education! Online courses are a great way to upgrade your qualifications while working. Here are a few recommendations for online B.Tech courses:

NPTEL (National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning): NPTEL offers a wide range of online courses in various engineering disciplines, including ECE. They are conducted by prestigious Indian institutes and are often free of cost.

Coursera: Coursera is a popular platform that provides online courses from top universities and institutions around the world. You can find B.Tech courses in ECE offered by universities like Stanford, Georgia Tech, and University of Colorado Boulder.

edX: Similar to Coursera, edX offers online courses from leading universities. You can explore their catalog for B.Tech courses in ECE and related fields. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and University of California, Berkeley are some of the institutes that offer courses on this platform.

Udemy: Udemy is a platform with a wide range of online courses, including B.Tech courses in ECE. The courses are created by individual instructors, so it's important to check reviews and ratings before enrolling.

Online Programs by Universities: Many universities offer online B.Tech programs designed for working professionals. Look for reputable universities that offer distance or online learning options in your desired specialization.

Remember to review the course content, instructor credentials, and student reviews before enrolling in any online course. It's also beneficial to consider programs that provide hands-on projects or industry collaborations for practical experience. Good luck with your B.Tech journey!

I am first year cse student at Dronacharya college of engineering but I wanted to learn and work in computational biology field. Pl guide me about online courses regarding this and how can I get intership in labs later

Ans: Good to see you are already narrowing down on your areas of work post an engineering degree in 4 years. Post a B.Tech CSE degree graduates can definitely work in computational biology, provided they build the right interdisciplinary skills. Computational biology is a field at the intersection of computer science, biology, mathematics, and statistics, so your core programming and algorithmic knowledge from CSE is a strong foundation. However, I would not close options in other areas that you may develop interest in the coming four years. Work hard, master your subjects well, participate in hackathons, lead research projects with other classmates and focus on getting internships to gain an insight into the world or work and applying your areas of interest. Engage with your placement head, lead faculty to provide your continuous guidance and mentoring.

My son speaks very slowly and less , don't mix with people he is 18 years old earlier he was not like that but from last 3-4 years he started speaking very less especially at home but talk with 2-3 close friends and younger brother.what should we do to help him to open up him so that he manage his college life (persuing b.tech.just get admission)

Ans: Hi!!
This is actually quite common in adolescence, and there isn’t just one reason.

A teen who used to talk a lot may become quieter over time because of changes in their emotional, social, and cognitive development:

* They become more self-aware. As teens grow, they often start thinking more about how others perceive them. This can make them more cautious about what they say.
* They’re processing more internally. Younger children often think out loud. Older teens may spend more time reflecting internally instead of verbalizing everything.
* Social experiences affect confidence. Criticism, embarrassment, bullying, rejection, or feeling misunderstood can lead someone to speak less.
* Friendships and family dynamics change. Teens may withdraw from parents while becoming more selective about who they talk to.
* Stress and responsibilities increase. School pressure, exams, future planning, and personal challenges can leave less mental energy for casual conversation.
* Their personality may be settling. Sometimes a talkative child wasn’t necessarily an extrovert; they were simply comfortable. As they mature, their natural communication style may become quieter.

Just check that the reason for this behaviour is not because of-
Anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or chronic stress!

It’s also important to distinguish between:

* A normal developmental shift: talking less, but still engaging with people and enjoying activities.
* A concerning change: becoming withdrawn, isolating themselves, losing interest in things they used to enjoy, or showing signs of distress.

Question by Mridul - Jun 08, 2026Hindi

Career

Sir please guide as to what can I get with 80 marks in jee advanced in general category boys and a rank of 57323 in jee mains (96.4 percentile).I have got a rank of 163 in manipal met exam and a rank of 8304 in viteee.Also I am getting CSE at Shiv Nadar university and SRM University Chennai.I am very much keen to study CS and coding.What should I choose

Ans: If you are serious about CS and coding, the preference order may be: CSE @ Manipal > CSE @ Shiv Nadar > CSE @ VIT > CSE @ SRM. With your JEE (Mains) score, you may get some lower IIITs/GFTIs and should definitely participate in JoSAA/CSAB. With the score of advances, there is no hope of getting either a top college or a branch.

Good luck.

Sir, my son is getting CSE DS in VIT Vellore in category 5 and he scored 230 in Bitsat, he may get M.sc or BE mechanical in Goa or Hyderabad campus or maybe in pilani campus. Which is better in terms of study environment,campus life, placements and future prospects ? He has no specific preference for computers.

Ans: Since your son has no fixed preference for Computer Science, prefer BITS over VIT if he gets Mechanical at Goa/Hyderabad or an M.Sc. program with a realistic chance of a dual-degree upgrade. (slight risk). The final choice will be yours.

He got cse at VIT vellore in category 4. He has to stay in hostel even if at hyderabad. His first option is bitsat but not sure to get. Suggest me other good options

Ans: Keep BITS counselling open till the last round, but if no good circuit branch comes, choose VIT Vellore CSE unless your son gets CSE in CBIT or VNR through Telangana counselling. The preference order may be: BITS (Circuital) > CBIT/VNR CSE ≈ VIT Vellore CSE > Amrita CSE > COMEDK options

Sir I'm currently a 2nd year dropper preparing for reneet as neet 2026 paper got leaked my score was 569 in neet 2026 Right now I've appeared for jee mains in which I got 82.34 percentile and ncet in which I got 378, iat in which I'm expecting score of 119 or 124, nest whose answer key is not out yet I think counseling for ncet will start in upcoming 2-3 days and josaa councelling for bs ms in IIT is already going on I'm confused what should I do because this year I want to join a course and get my admission done my main goal is neet but the result announcement will be late so, what should be my next move?

Ans: You have one primary goal (MBBS via NEET) and several backup options (IAT, NEST, NCET, JEE-based options). Because NEET 2026 was cancelled and a re-exam is scheduled for June 21, the medical route remains viable. Continue with NCET/IAT/NEST counselling as backups, but devote the next two weeks primarily to Re-NEET preparation; make a final admission decision only after your Re-NEET result is known. Reason: You already scored 569 once. A jump of even 40–60-70 marks can completely change your medical admission prospects. For the next two weeks, NEET preparation should receive most of your attention. The medical profession has more social value than any engineering stream or branch. The final choice/decision will be yours.

Good luck.

Ans: For you, ECE @ top NITs is not possible, but some lower branches in NITs via CSAB and several state/private colleges are still realistic options. If you get LNMIIT Mechanical, take it over MIT-WPU ECE. If LNMIIT is not available, MIT-WPU ECE is a reasonable choice. Keep CSAB and Jharkhand state counselling active until the end. The final preference order may be: LNMIIT Mechanical > MIT-WPU ECE > Newton/Scaler
