Is it possible to go to universities like STANFORD, HARVARD, etc or MIT after doing btech from NIT/IIT? Considering the fact that till now, I have no such extracirculars required..if yes, please let me know the complete procedure. [a JEE dropper]

Ans: Hello Why. Thank you for connecting with us. It is good to know that you are considering the USA for your further studies. However, let me tell you that people from non-tier 1 undergraduate colleges regularly get admitted to these colleges for graduate school. Going further, the reason why you see more IIT graduates being admitted to MIT or Stanford is not because they get preference, but because they’re on average much stronger academically than people from lesser institutions, both in terms of their innate capability as well as the effort they put in over the course. The factors that matter for admission are your GPA, GRE score, recommendations, research, and Statement of Purpose (SOP). GPA and GRE are basically used as cutoffs, while the other criteria are used to decide who gets admitted after the cutoff. As long as you have the same scores and quality of work as an “IIT student," you need not worry. Note that since your college curriculum and fellow students are likely to be much weaker than those at IITs, you will need to work on your own to do much more than your college academics. Upon doing so, you will be able to get summer internships with IIT professors, which will put you in the same standing as IIT students in terms of your application.
In fact, only a small portion of IIT students get admitted to MIT or Stanford since, obviously, there aren’t enough seats for all of them. So even if you’re strong in all the criteria, there is an element of luck, so you can expect to get admitted to some of the top 10 colleges and not to others. However, you will get admitted to some for sure if you’re good enough.

Sir, I am a partial dropper I have secured (97.56%ile) 38293 rank in mains this year. I am already pursuing btech in ECE fron jiit, Noida. From what I can see, I might be getting tier-2 NITs but lower branches and getting a college in JAC also seems impossible as I do not have delhi quota. What should be the way forward for me. Are there any colleges that might be a better option for me than jiit.

Ans: Read your question thoroughly and noted the contents.

Congrats to you for Scoring 97.56 Percentile in your JEE (Main).

My suggestions:

As you are already pursuing ECE from JIIT (one of the good Private Universities), it is advisable to continue with it.

However, here are some practical Tips / Steps / Strategies you should follow to be COMPETENT in the Job Market and land a good job once you finish your Graduation:

While Pursuing your BTech (ECE):

1) Make sure that he continues to maintain a decent Score / CGPA / Percentage till you complete his BTech.
2) Join 2-3 Co-curricular Activities Club (related to his Domain) & also be involved in extra-curricular activities.
3) Create your Professional LinkedIn Profile, if you do not have one.
4) Get connected to professionals of the same domain, but NOT ask for jobs (after you complete your BTech). If your profile matches their requirements, they will be in touch with you.
5) Every 3-months, keep updating his LinkedIn Profile to add your recent achievements/certifications etc.
6) Start researching about the companies that visited the College during the last 3-years & know their nature business/manpower requirements in the ‘Career’ Section through their websites.
7) Most important: Start doing Certification Courses either online / offline, related to his domain (from 1st year itself), to be competent in job market.
8) NPTEL & Internshala are some reputed Certification platforms you can join. And/or you can join any other Certifications, recommended by your Faculties in your College.
9) Put Job-Alert Notifications in LinkedIn, related to your domain, from 1st year itself, to know about the current job market scenarios/employers’ expectations.
10) Keep upskilling your knowledge & skills till he completes his BTech (ECE).
Just Before / After Completing your BTech (ECE):
1) Just before completing your BTech, he should prepare well for the Campus Recruitment Written Test / Interview / Group Discussion, whichever will be applicable.
2) Start applying for jobs also through LinkedIn Job Alerts, if the Job Description posted by the employers/recruiters / companies, matches your profile.
3) Keep your ‘RESUME’ professionally prepared. His ‘Resume’ should be simple & brief with keywords, related to your domain, with your LinkedIn Account’s clickable link.
4) And, keep upgrading your skills, to be competitive in the job market, even after you land the jobs.

Hope I have cleared your doubts with value additions.

Career

My name is shashikantpatel I m currently not getting job I was working we ith finance company as sales profile in nbfc they fired me currently unemployed from3 months I am not able to get success in sales job

Ans: Here are some ideas that will help you, Mr. Shashikant. 1) Figure out what went wrong with your sales job. Problems with the product, not getting enough exercise, goals, stress, and your part can all affect how well you do your job. 2) Figure out what you're good at when it comes to banking products and services, talking to people, and managing relationships with clients. Think about jobs that don't require a lot of sales, like credit research, customer service, and back office work. 3) Get more attention by getting new certifications and learning new skills like CRM, Excel etc. 4) Look into jobs besides sales, like those in banking and non-banking financial companies (NBFCs), the insurance industry, and financial services support. 5) Use LinkedIn, talk to former coworkers or bosses, and look for casual or freelance work to find work. You can even approach a Professional Career Coach such as Vikram Anand etc. to help you in fine-tuning your Resume, Job Search Strategies through LinkedIn, Job Interview Skills etc. 6) Figure out how to handle money while you're away. Spend less on things you don't need, think about getting a part-time job, and ask your family for short-term financial help. 7) Never get demotivated. Be very determined & stay active. All the BEST for Your Son’s Prosperous Future.

Question by Manan - Dec 01, 2024Hindi

Career

Sir I am graduated in 2022 B.Tech(environment) from tier 2 college. After that I was preparing for civil services for 2 years but couldn't clear it. So now I am switching my career in private sector. As of now I joined environment consultancy for initial start (legal work ) but I worried about my future. Is consultancy good for long term growth? I am totally blank. Pls guide me

Ans: Mr. Manan, In fields such environmental impact assessment, sustainability, and renewable energy, environmental consulting experience can be quite helpful. To maximize this, assess your present role performance and grow from it. Think about career paths connected to environmental engineering include government advisory jobs, big corporations, renewable energy companies, or technical consulting. Get certificates, technical skills, and project management certifications to strengthen your qualifications. Examine the long-term advantages of environmental consulting, including exposure to many sectors and chances for concentrating on audits, compliance, or impact studies. Think about career development, either long-term—consider environmental sector entrepreneurship or leadership possibilities—or temporary, working in consulting for two to three years. Last but not least, keep your present position by aggressively networking, thinking about a Master's degree, looking for companies like Ernst & Young, KPMG, Tata Power, or environmental advocacy organizations. Remember that your present situation is an excellent stepping stone; with proactive work, you may design a career path that brings fulfillment. All the BEST for Your Son’s Prosperous Future.

Ans: Considering your age 37 and husband 39 and planning to have a baby
The chance of having a child with Down syndrome increases with the mother's age:
Age 25: The chance is about 1 in 1,200
Age 35: The chance is about 1 in 400
Age 40: The chance is about 1 in 100
Age 45: The chance is about 1 in 30
If you're over 35 and thinking about getting pregnant, you can:
Get genetic counseling to learn more about your risk
Get regular checkups
Eat a variety of healthy foods
Get regular exercise and plenty of rest
Avoid smoking, vaping, drinking alcohol, and using cannabis or other drugs
To start folic acid (vit B6 and B 12) and DHA 3 months prior to conception.
Learn about prenatal testing for chromosomal conditions like your gynae will perform serial ultrasound at different trimesters like NT SCAN, anomaly scan, fetal 2 D echo and blood markers like dual marker and NIPT to rule out any form of congenital anomalies.

Is there an age limit to have a healthy baby? I am 41 and I want to be a single mother. Can I have a healthy baby at 42 or is it too late? My menstrual cycle is perfectly normal. My boyfriend doesn't want to get married but he is willing to co-parent my child. Please suggest the right way to go forward

Ans: While stories about women giving birth in their 50s, 60s, and even 70s make for good headlines, these pregnancies are usually accomplished with donor eggs and in vitro fertilization (IVF). There is no set oldest age when you can get pregnant naturally, but fertility starts to decline as you age.
Due to advances in technology surrounding fertility, pregnancy, and delivery, it's possible to safely have a baby at age 40. However, any pregnancy after age 40 is considered high risk.
Pregnant people over age 35 are more at risk for complications like miscarriage, congenital disorders and high blood pressure.
Firstly, we like to investigate an completely
Baseline blood test
Hormonal test
Amh level (to know fertility potential)
Usg pelvis to rule out any fibroids, cysts
Xray ecg
Then can plan pregnancy
We can screen for babies well-being during pregnancy by serial ultrasound and blood markers and nipt to rule out any abnormalities.
