Hello,
I'm Swagato Ghose, 32, from Kolkata. During the pandemic and because of lockdown, I lost my job. I'm a marketing professional and worked for a print and packaging company based in Hyderabad.
The situation is very difficult because, even after trying hard for the past two to three months, nothing positive is materialising.
No organisations revert after the interview process and the salary offered during the interview time is negligible when compared to what I was getting before this lockdown happened.
It's getting unbearable and I am on the verge of a nervous breakdown as the future seems absolutely uncertain.
I'm badly looking for a decent opportunity, but there seems to be very little hope in these tough times as it looks like the recruitment has frozen in most of the good companies.
I am really worried about the future and don't know how my professional career is going to shape up.
How do I survive this phase?
Thanks and regards,
Swagato Ghose

Ans: This is a baseless question.If one ask you which is better CHICKEN TANDOORI or KAJOO BARFI what answer will you give?ECE and CIVIL are miles apart.You are highly confused,you don't know your choice and that will be dangerous for your future.Take professional counselling.

Ans: Hello;

Your query is very specific. I recommend you to consult an MFD or an investment advisor to get a bespoke solution to your query.

Best wishes;

Ans: Hello Ishaan.
First of all congratulation to you.
You did not mention which branch you are interested in to complete your B.Tech. However, assuming that you are either taking admission to CSE or parallel computer courses in B.Tech, here is the response to your eagerness: (1) It will enhance your data skills (like Python, ML, analytics). (2) This will broaden your career options, e.g., data analyst, AI roles, etc. (3) IIT Madras has a strong reputation that will help you build your career in this field. (4) However, time management is crucial to avoid burnout. Prioritize quality over quantity. That is, even though the course is online, you will need to spend significant time learning and practicing, which may be challenging when pursuing B.Tech in offline mode simultaneously. (5) But someone said, Dar Ke Aage Jeet Hai ..... in the same vein, if you are mentally prepared to accept the challenges, then go for it! Best of luck for your upcoming bright future.

Ans: I think you will surely get.

Ans: Providing precise admission chances for each student can be challenging. Some reputed educational websites offer ‘College Predictor’ tools where you can check possible college options based on your percentile, category, and preferences. However, for a more accurate understanding, here’s a simple yet effective 9-step method using JoSAA’s past-year opening and closing ranks. This approach gives you a fair estimate (though not 100% exact) of your admission chances based on the previous year’s data.

Here is, How to Predict Your Chances of Admission into NIT or IIIT or GFTI After JEE Main Results – A Step-by-Step Guide.

Step-by-Step Guide to Check Your Admission Chances Using JoSAA Data
Step 1: Collect Your Key Details
Before starting, note down the following details:

Your JEE Main percentile
Your category (General-Open, SC, ST, OBC-NCL, EWS, PwD categories)
Preferred institute types (NIT, IIIT, GFTI)
Preferred locations (or if you're open to any location in India)
List of at least 3 preferred academic programs (branches) as backups (instead of relying on just one option)
Step 2: Access JoSAA’s Official Opening & Closing Ranks
Go to Google and type: JoSAA Opening & Closing Ranks 2024
Click on the first search result (official JoSAA website).
You will land directly on JoSAA’s portal, where you can enter your details to check past-year cutoffs.
Step 3: Select the Round Number
JoSAA conducts five rounds of counseling.
For a safer estimate, choose Round 4, as most admissions are settled by this round.
Step 4: Choose the Institute Type
Select NIT, IIIT, or GFTI, depending on your preference.
If you are open to all types of institutes, check them one by one instead of selecting all at once.
Step 5: Select the Institute Name (Based on Location)
It is recommended to check institutes one by one, based on your preferred locations.
Avoid selecting ‘ALL’ at once, as it may create confusion.
Step 6: Select Your Preferred Academic Program (Branch)
Enter the branches you are interested in, one at a time, in your preferred order.
Step 7: Submit and Analyze Results
After selecting the relevant details, click the ‘SUBMIT’ button.
The system will display Opening & Closing Ranks of the selected institute and branch for different categories both Home State (HS) i.e. State you belong to & also Other State (OS).
Step 8: Note Down the Opening & Closing Ranks
Maintain a notebook or diary to record the Opening & Closing Ranks for each institute and branch you are interested in, separately for HS & OS Categories for a quick reference.
This will serve as a quick reference during JoSAA counseling.
Step 9: Adjust Your Expectations on a Safer Side
Since Opening & Closing Ranks fluctuate slightly each year, always adjust the numbers for safety.
Example Calculation:
If the Opening & Closing Ranks for NIT Delhi | Mechanical Engineering | OPEN Category show 8622 & 26186 (for Home State), consider adjusting them to 8300 & 23000 (on a safer side).
If the Female Category rank is 34334 & 36212, adjust it to 31000 & 33000.

Follow this approach for Other State candidates and different categories.
Pro Tip: Adjust your expected rank slightly lower than the previous year's cutoffs for realistic expectations during JoSAA counseling.

Can This Method Be Used for JEE April & JEE Advanced?
Yes! You can repeat the same steps after your April JEE Main results to refine your admission possibilities.
You can also follow a similar process for JEE Advanced cutoffs when applying for IITs.

Ans: NO.

Ans: Health and psychological struggles can impact academics and motivation, leading to burnout or depression. It's important to prioritize mental health and seek professional support. IT is still an option, but not through traditional academic paths. To build a career in IT, pick one small, manageable skill and focus on skills, such as web development, Python basics, or SQL. Start with internships or freelance gigs, try for small projects, and create structure despite low motivation. Remember that you are more than a GPA, and don't judge your worth by exams. Start small with one free coding course and one project. All the best for your admissions!
