Namaste sir, my daughter has scored 98.6 in her Xth board (PCM). Started with FIITJEE coaching along with school. But doesn't feel like pursuing it further. She finds interest in UI/UX etc. Please guide on courses and colleges for the same. Thanks

Ans: Namaste. Good your daughter is interested in UI/UX etc. To get admission into CSE-related courses itself (with certifications or specializations in UI/UX) & reputed colleges, she will have to prepare for Entrance Exams like JEE NID etc. which she should not ignore. It is advisable to continue her JEE / other Entrance Exam preparations. All the BEST for Your Daughter's Bright Future.

Hello, My son is in his 5th semester at VIT Chennai- pursuing B.Tech- CSE (AI&R). He's currently home till December as they had their fast semester to allow for a window for Internships & some mandatory online courses to complete. My son is interested in pursuing UI UX as his interest & expertise are more in this field and has also obtained many online certifications thereof. I want to give him the freedom to pursue his Masters in the best institutes in this field. We went for an UG in India so that if needed he could go abroad for his Masters; I want to know which institutes are the preferred ones in this line & how do we go about the approach to admissions there. Please suggest a roadmap so that his current time (till December 2023) is utilised well and we have a guidemap of which courses to pursue.
Ans: Hello Mahoe,

First and foremost, thank you for getting in touch with us. I am glad to hear that your son is currently pursuing the 5th semester of his Bachelor’s of Technology (B.Tech) degree and is clearly interested in pursuing UI/UX, having already obtained a number of online certifications in this field. I would like to let you know that your son can improve his abilities and be presented with new possibilities through pursuing a Master's degree at an esteemed university. As requested by you, here is a suggested roadmap:

First and foremost, I would recommend that your son conducts an extensive study on leading universities well-regarded for the superior UI/UX design programs they offer. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the Royal College of Art, Carnegie Mellon University, the Interaction Design Foundation, and Stanford University, are among the prominent ones. Next, your son should look into the entry prerequisites set by these universities. These generally entail a robust educational background, a Statement of Purpose, recommendation letters, a portfolio of his work, as well as results of standardized tests viz., the GMAT or GRE. Make sure your son concentrates on keeping a strong GPA throughout, and begins his preparation for any mandatory standardized tests. Remember, a portfolio is a significant element of the application procedure, and your son’s chances of securing admission can be boosted to a great extent with a strong one. Thus, he should continue building an impressive portfolio encompassing case studies, projects, as well as any freelance work that he has undertaken that is related to the field of UI/UX. Collaborating and building connections is vital to the field of UI/UX design. I would suggest that your son connects with online groups, engages in conferences, and gets in touch with industry experts. This is a great way to acquire useful information as well as boost his chances of getting strong recommendations. Its important to stay abreast with the most recent UI/UX resources and innovations, and thus, pointing out any gaps in your son’s skillset and encouraging him to take up further online courses or seminars to fill them proves beneficial. As the next step, with the application deadlines soon approaching, assist your son in drafting a convincing Statement of Purpose that highlights his experiences, enthusiasm, and professional objectives in the field of UI/UX. Keep all the necessary documents including marksheets and recommendation letters ready beforehand. Furthermore, your son should examine the available scholarships and other forms of monetary assistance provided by these universities in the UI/UX field. Lastly, prepare a schedule with all the requirements and due dates he needs to adhere to in order to submit the application. This will aid in seamlessly managing the process and prevent anxiety at the last moment. Stick to this roadmap to boost your son’s chances of securing admission to a leading program in UI/UX design.

As an answer to your question, I would like to let you know that in order for your daughter to improve her chances for career advancement, there are a variety of higher education opportunities that she can take up post the completion of her Bachelor's in Interior Designing. She can opt for a Master's in Interior Designing, Master's in Urban Design, Master's in Business Administration (MBA) specializing in Design Management, Master's in Architecture, or Master's in Fine Arts (MFA) with a focus on Interior Design. If your daughter intends specializing in sustainable and ecologically responsible design approaches, she can opt for a Master's in Environmental Design.

Concerning your query regarding the universities and colleges offering these programs, I would recommend that your daughter conducts an all-round study depending on variables viz., the college’s or university’s standing, the location, the experience of the faculty members, as well as the available resources. Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), University of California, Berkeley, Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), Royal College of Art (UK), Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Parsons School of Design, Politecnico di Milano (Italy), and Pratt Institute are a few of the prominent institutions regarded for the interior design and associated programs they offer.

In order to better understand the programs and to decide which ones resonate with her professional objectives and passion, I would recommend that your daughter investigates the websites of each university, if possible, visits campuses, as well as gets in touch with alumni or students who are presently studying there.

Hii sir ! This is ritika and I love a boy and we are in relationship since 7 years but there are some behavior of him he always have doubt on me that I am dating another boy he always says that start you screenshare in WhatsApp I even do because I don't want to lose him and he saw all of things of my phone yesterday he again asking for that and I do and there was a tab of instagram which was belongs to my roommate it was her I'd open in my chrome browser where she only wants to delete the I'd which she did from my phone these instagram thing happened approx one year ago but when he saw this I told him that was not mine but he continuously said I am cheater I cheated with him again he was like I know you have two mobile phones and you cheated with me. I love him soo much but he cannot try to accept that . Even I don't talk to my male classmate because he didn't want ki main kisi boy se baat karu Is it fair , am I cheater ? I love him unconditionally I support him in all his career or decision but again he was like I cheated with him we are in long distance relationship but I can't cheat him . Literally I am feeling depressed ????
Ans: Dear Ritika,

Please understand that you did nothing wrong. Why would you even question yourself? You know you never cheated. It's his issue that he cannot trust. Yes, in a relationship we all try to comfort our partners but that too should be to a certain extent. And, in that process, if your mental health is being compromised, I don't see how it's a healthy relationship.

I don't want to tell you what to do, but I would reassure you that YOU DID NOTHING WRONG. You don't need to prove yourself anymore. And I can also assure you that no matter what you do, he will still manage to find some flaws and doubt you. It's a typical behavior we see in some partners. You deserve peace, love, and above all, to be trusted.

Best Wishes.
