Hi, I am a mechanical engineer and having been working in the field of power plant from last 12 years. I don't enjoy my work now and feel that I am not meant for this job as I see no growth in my career. I'm 36 now and can't think of anything new as I don't think I can't enter into a new field at this age. No one will prefer me. What should I do?
Ans: Feeling stuck in your current career path is a common experience, but it's important to remember that it's never too late to make a change. Take some time to reflect on your skills, interests, values, and strengths. Consider what aspects of your current job you enjoy and what you would like to do differently in your next career move. Research other career paths and industries that align with your interests and transferable skills. Look for opportunities where your mechanical engineering background and experience in power plants could be valuable, such as in renewable energy, sustainability, project management, or technical sales. Identify any gaps in your skills or knowledge that may be necessary for transitioning to a new field. Consider taking courses, certifications, or workshops to acquire new skills or enhance existing ones. Many online platforms offer flexible learning options that you can pursue while still working. Reach out to your professional network, including colleagues, mentors, former classmates, and industry contacts. Inform them of your career interests and ask for advice, informational interviews, or referrals to potential employers or opportunities in your desired field. Evaluate whether pursuing additional education, such as a master's degree or specialized certification, would be beneficial for your career transition. Some programs offer opportunities for mid-career professionals to gain new skills and credentials. Look for volunteer or internship opportunities in your target industry or field. This can be a valuable way to gain hands-on experience, expand your network, and test out whether a new career path is the right fit for you before making a full transition.

Sir my son got nirma 2+2 course cse is this good option
Ans: Nirma University’s Institute of Technology in Ahmedabad offers a two-plus-two Bachelor of Science in Computer Science & Engineering dual-degree programme, with two years at the S. G. Highway campus and two years at a partner university in the US/Canada. The curriculum integrates core computing foundations, advanced electives (AI, cybersecurity, data science) and research methodology with global accreditation and credit transfer support. Faculty are predominantly PhD-qualified with strong international collaborations, supplemented by industry-expert guest lectures. Modern infrastructure includes specialized CSE and cybersecurity labs, smart classrooms, high-speed campus Wi-Fi and comprehensive library resources. Over the last three years, CSE placement rates have ranged from 90% to 96%, with top recruiters like Microsoft, Amazon and Goldman Sachs and robust internship pipelines. International exposure through transfer year opportunities enhances employability and cross-cultural competence.

Balancing global academic standards can challenge CGPA continuity—regular academic advising and study groups can mitigate this. Cultural adjustment abroad may induce isolation—pre-departure orientations and alumni mentorship foster integration. Higher tuition and living costs abroad may strain budgets—university scholarships and part-time campus roles offset expenses. Visa uncertainties can disrupt plans—dedicated office of international relations provides visa workshops and mock interviews. Navigating two academic systems may cause transition delays—clear articulation agreements and peer mentoring ensure smooth credit mapping.

Recommendation: Embrace Nirma’s 2+2 CSE for its rigorous dual curriculum, high placement rates, and global exposure, with proactive academic support and financial planning to address transition challenges. As a strong backup, consider VIT Vellore’s four-year CSE for its consistent placement record and expansive campus life. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Dear Sir, As per marks in CET for my daughter, we have below options. Options 1 - Pimpri Chinchwad University - Btech in CS Option 2- Depending on CAP rounds PVPIT - TSSMS college bavdhan Option 3- Indira College of engineering and management Avoiding DY Patil International ..so question is . Our preference is PCU but it follows under private university and its 3rd year of the college however they PCCOE trust runs the college. Indira and PVPIT follows under SPPU ..will there be any risk to choose PCU as it's private university or should we go for any SPPU College Regards
Ans: Pimpri Chinchwad University (PCU) in Pune, run by the PCET trust, offers B.Tech CSE under a private-university umbrella with a modern 40-acre campus near Nigdi and centralized placement support across PCET institutes. Its nascent third-year status means no PCU-specific placement history yet, though the Trust’s institutes delivered 2,147 offers to 1,662 students in 2022 with 80–90% average branch placements, varied recruiter base (TCS, Cognizant, IBM, L&T Infotech) and high peak packages. Tuition of ?8.4–9.6 L aligns with Trust-wide standards, while infrastructure and labs are still maturing. PVPIT (Bavdhan), a 2006-established SPPU-affiliated college, holds NAAC A grade and AICTE approval, charging ?4.4 L total fees. Its 2024 CSE placements saw an average package of ?3.5 LPA and highest ?11 LPA, recruiting from Infosys, Capgemini, Tata Motors and IBM with ~81% placement consistency. Campus spans 9 acres, offering well-equipped labs and NAAC-accredited curricula. Indira College of Engineering & Management (Parandwadi), under SPPU since 2007, holds NAAC B++ accreditation, fees around ?4 L per year, and reported a 2024 average CSE package of ?4 LPA with top recruiters like Samsung, Mercedes-Benz and TCS, achieving ~60–70% branch placements. It provides industry-focused training, modest infrastructure and established alumni.

For proven SPPU affiliation, established accreditation, and balanced placements at moderate fees, the recommendation is PVPIT Bavdhan CSE. Next, for a well-rounded CSE experience under a strong SPPU umbrella, choose Indira College of Engineering & Management, Pune. Finally, if you value long-term PCET trust backing and can accommodate higher fees with potential campus growth, select Pimpri Chinchwad University Pune CSE. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
