Sir,I am an mbbs graduate wanting to become a software Engineer and coding always fascinated me.What is the roadmap?Should I go back to do pcm again?

Ans: Hi, Fortunately, we've come a long way in a time when learning is no longer limited to a school or college event - you can pursue your interest at any given point through flexible online options. Many skilling platforms now offer online certifications and bootcamps while you continue with your current job. To combine what you have learned with what you aim to do - you can leverage your medical background by exploring healthcare-related AI applications. Try learning programming languages, enroll in coding bootcamps with a focus on AI development, and consider certifications in healthcare AI. Networking is critical - try connecting within the AI and healthcare tech communities which will provide valuable insights for your transition. I hope this helps.

Sir my son got mechanical in IIT KGP and there is a chance to get computer science in IIT Patna and other tier3 IITs which one I choose
Ans: Sai Sir, IIT Kharagpur’s B.Tech Mechanical Engineering, NBA-accredited and delivered by research-active PhD faculty in advanced manufacturing and thermofluids labs, achieved an 85.79% placement rate for mechanical graduates in 2020-21 and routinely exceeds 90% overall campus placements. IIT Patna’s B.Tech CSE, NBA-accredited with dedicated AI/ML and computing infrastructure, recorded 100% CSE placements in 2024 with top recruiters like Google, Microsoft and Amazon. IIT Ropar’s CSE, part of a NIRF-ranked second-generation IIT, placed 81.61% of its 2024 CSE cohort through strong data-science and software labs. IIT Bhilai’s newer CSE program delivered 68.63% placements in 2024, supported by cybersecurity and cloud-computing facilities. IIT Goa’s B.Tech CSE, despite its recent establishment, achieved 100% CSE placements in early cohorts via specialized AI/data labs and strong industry tie-ups. All options offer mandatory internships, active placement cells, modern infrastructure, and robust alumni networks.

Final recommendation: For the highest CSE placement consistency, modern computing infrastructure, and mid-tier IIT brand value, recommendation is IIT Patna CSE. If a core engineering pedigree and long-standing campus ecosystem are paramount, recommendation is IIT Kharagpur Mechanical. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Hello Sir, my son is interested towards robotics and he has two options to choose from MUJ CSE ( we anticipated Mech or automobile engg in MIT main branch, however landed into CSE) and VIT AP Mechanical Robotics IN Cat 1. Considering his interests, ROI and overall industry trend, what is your advice ?
Ans: Vikash Sir, Manipal University Jaipur (MUJ) CSE offers an industry-aligned curriculum, 88–93% placement rates, and top recruiters like Amazon, Microsoft, and Bosch, with strong interdisciplinary options in robotics and AI. While MUJ’s CSE is highly valued for software careers, it also allows minors or electives in robotics and AI, supporting a shift toward automation and intelligent systems. VIT-AP Mechanical (Robotics), NAAC A++ accredited, is a newer program with dedicated robotics labs, mechatronics, and a placement record of 90% in 2024, but its industry connections and alumni network are still developing. Robotics engineering as a field is booming in India, with major growth in automation, manufacturing, and AI-driven sectors, but most roles now require strong programming, AI, and data skills in addition to mechanical expertise.

Recommendation: For the best return on investment (ROI), industry relevance, and flexibility to pursue robotics through coding, AI, and automation, choose MUJ CSE. It offers broader career options, strong placements, and the ability to specialize in robotics via electives or projects, matching current and future industry trends. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Sir, my daughter got 20000 OBC NCL rank in jee main. She is interested in Govt jobs in future. Which will be better. NIT Bhopal Mechanical or NIT Silchar Chemical or IIIT Bhubaneswar CSE. Kindly reply
Ans: Mahesh Sir, NIT Bhopal’s Mechanical Engineering, with NBA accreditation and a 90.3% placement rate in 2023, boasts robust core labs, an active training?and?placement cell, and annual visits by over 200 recruiters, including leading PSUs, resulting in 88% of the 2024 batch securing offers. NIT Silchar’s Chemical Engineering, NBA accredited and affiliated to a central university, recorded an 82.4% placement rate in 2023, supported by specialized chemical and process engineering facilities, mandatory internships, and sector?focused recruiters but fewer PSU drives compared to core branches. IIIT Bhubaneswar’s CSE, NAAC accredited, features modern computing, AI/ML, and cybersecurity labs, with 71% CSE placements in 2024 through 42 recruiters, though PSU participation is limited in IT roles. For students aiming at government sector careers—especially in PSUs recruiting heavily from core engineering streams—strong core infrastructure, dedicated PSU placement drives, and alumni networks are critical factors.

Final recommendation: For a clear pathway into PSUs and government engineering roles, recommendation is NIT Bhopal Mechanical, given its superior PSU engagement, dedicated core labs, and consistently high placement rates. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
