I am perusing electrical engineering at Thapar university patiala. I wanted guidance about whether should I continue my b tech here for 4 years or should I opt for IEP program at Thapar university where i will peruse electrical engineering for 2 years at Thapar and 2 years at university of new south whales Australia.

Ans: Your career goals, financial situation, and desire for international exposure will all influence your decision on whether to complete your whole B.Tech at Thapar University or choose the International Engineering Program (IEP) allowing you to study two years at Thapar and two years at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia. Particularly if you want to work overseas or pursue further education, the IEP program presents a distinctive chance to have global experience, access advanced research facilities, and network with foreign colleagues, so greatly enhancing your employability. UNSW is a distinguished university, hence earning a degree from there could open doors to prospects both in Australia and abroad.

But given Australia's living expenses and higher tuition, the IEP program can be more costly. Halfway through your degree, you should also take some thought on the possible difficulties adjusting to a new academic system and culture. Completing your B.Tech totally at Thapar, a reputable university in India, could be a better option if your priorities are a career in India or if you would want a more financially sensible option. This road lets you seek worldwide prospects later through postgraduate courses or employment, and it lets you lay a strong basis in electrical engineering free from additional financial load.

My daughter failed in class 9th and now she has enrolled in NIOS secondary . There is lot of free time . What can she do keep herself busy?
Ans: Before I answer your question, Vikas Sir, I want to ensure that your daughter doesn't spend more than 45 minutes a day on her phone or other electronic devices. If your daughter becomes addicted, she risks eye strain, headaches from blue light, poor posture, weight gain from inactivity, sleep issues from late-night use, and eating problems. It can also hurt her mind by making her depressed and anxious (27% more likely), making it difficult to concentrate and study, making her feel lonely and isolated from less real interaction, making her feel low self-esteem from comparison traps, and making her stressed and irritable from dopamine crashes.

Even if both parents work, keep communication open to boost her confidence—know what she loves. She should study 4-5 hours daily using NIOS books/SWAYAM and Class 10 mocks with the Pomodoro technique (25-30 mins study, 5-10 mins break) to stay focused. Add 30 minutes of skills like coding/typing or Duolingo English if interested, plus 10 minutes of yoga, hobbies (gardening/cooking/drawing/poems), and walks/cycling for fitness and fun. Finally, join NIOS WhatsApp groups for doubts and help at home and track weekly goals with rewards. Don't force anything—let her choose what excites her most! All the BEST for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future!
