My son is pursuing Degree in Computer Science. He is in his last year. He is good in App Developer. He wants to study in abroad. Please suggest which course to pursue. Any university abroad for one year degree course. Your advice will be very helpful to me.
Ans: Hello Rupinder,

First and foremost, thank you for contacting us. If your son is passionate about developing applications, studying abroad can be a great way for him to advance his education and acquire international exposure in the computer science field. Since he is currently in the final year of his Bachelor’s degree, he may be considering pursuing a one-year Master's course to further specialize in this field. Mentioned below are some courses that your son could opt for:

1. Master's in Information Technology: With an emphasis on app and mobile development, certain colleges provide specialized pathways within their IT programs.

2. Master's in Mobile App Development: A specialized course in creating mobile applications, these programs are offered by a number of universities worldwide, including universities in the UK, Europe, the USA, Australia, and Canada.

3. Master's in Computer Science: This being a flexible choice, it enables your son to focus on app development within the wider field of computer science. Within their computer science programs, a variety of specializations are offered by several universities.

4. Master's in Software Engineering: A rather comprehensive course encompassing both, software and app development, and offered by leading universities globally, the Master's in Software Engineering provides a solid base in software engineering practices and principles.

Your son should research and decide on a program that best matches his hobbies and career objectives.

Outstanding programs in computer science are offered by the below mentioned prominent international universities:

• The UK: University College London, University of Cambridge, Imperial College London, and University of Oxford.

• Australia: University of Melbourne, University of New South Wales, Australian National University, and University of Sydney.

• The USA: University of California, Berkeley, Stanford University, University of Washington, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Carnegie Mellon University.

• Europe: Technical University of Munich (Germany), University of Edinburgh (UK), and ETH Zurich (Switzerland).

• Canada: University of British Columbia, McGill University, University of Toronto, and University of Waterloo.

Visit the official websites of each of these universities for accurate details pertaining to the courses offered and the admission prerequisites, as varying programs and specialties may be offered by each university.

Moreover, when selecting a foreign university, your son should take into account the living expenses, location, scholarship possibilities, and internships or co-op programs available. As admission standards and requirements can differ between universities and countries, your son should start applying ahead of time.

My son is in 10th now, what are his options for studying abroad?
Ans: Hello,

To begin with, thank you for contacting us. I am glad to hear that your son is currently studying in the 10th grade. To answer your question first, I would like to tell you that studying overseas will offer your son access to a world of endless opportunities. Although certain programs are designed keeping secondary school students in mind, you would be glad to know that summer programs or pre-college programs designed specifically for younger students, in turn, offering them exposure to a variety of academic disciplines, cultural backgrounds, as well as various events in life, are offered by a number of colleges and institutions. I would recommend that your son looks into the language immersion classes, summer study programs, as well as the exchange programs that these academic institutions and universities have to offer. Not just that, remember that he can plan beforehand and also make sure that he adheres to the requirements for any programs he might be interested in taking up after he completes high school by conducting a study on the prerequisites for securing admission to foreign universities as soon as possible. Moreover, for students’ his age, aspiring to pursue education overseas, getting in touch with academic advisors or guidance counselors can also prove beneficial as they will be able to offer useful information pertaining to the myriad of possibilities available.

Dear Sir, my son is doing his 2 nd year Csc engineering in Pune but his main goal/dream is to become a football couch. He wants to go to UK to pursue the same. Though he wanted to go just after finishing his 12th, we have convinced him that he has to get a degree as a backup. He has also got his D-licence here & is looking for a job. We have no knowledge about this line & profession. Pls. Advice as to how to proceed so he can do what he loves.
Ans: Hello,

First and foremost, thank you for reaching out to us. I am glad to see that you want to support your son in his dream of becoming a football coach while remaining realistic and encouraging him to finish his degree before reaching for his dreams. As with any career off the beaten path, your son will needs to follow his instincts while remaining practical about the reality of the situation. Finishing his degree is definitely a great practical step that ensures he has a strong foundation while giving him alternative options. I would suggest meeting with a career counselor who will be more equipped to deal with specific career planning and provide personalized advice. They can help create a road-map for achieving his goals while ensuring that he maximizes opportunities both in his education and in his football dreams. This approach will give him a clearer path to follow and increase his chances of success in whatever he chooses to pursue. I wish your son all the best in his future endeavors.

From Tamilnadu - My son (9th grader) is a creative person with deep interest in tech, electronics and music. From his young age, I see him scribbling designs of various machines, it started with car designs, then robo design, laptop and now he develops good electronic projects based on Arduino. As far as competitive exams and problem solving skills are concerned he isn't natural but with practice he can do. He scores above 90% in cbse exams but I never asked to write any competitive as I felt it would pressure his creative side. Now, my question is should I put him through this competitive jee race or I opt for a Tamilnadu state board school where he has less complexity more rote learning and can get through within top 10 anna university based colleges just with his board cutoff. I am highly sceptical about jee- being a general category male student, it highly discourages me to take the gamble as it may affect his mental health. Also, after all the effort, there is a high chance that he may have to go to a deemed University based on management seats. Now my question is problem solving and competitive focus of jee and conceptual learning of cbse are going to help him anyway in the future in his workplace? I am afraid that he will lose his hobby and strength in the rat race. Kindly advice.
Ans: Admission through the TNEA counselling process at reputed TN colleges like Thiyagarajar and PSG can be challenging for CBSE students. I also noticed you haven't mentioned if he has joined a coaching centre for his JEE preparation. Regardless, my suggestion is to have him take a psychometric test as soon as possible. This test will help identify his strengths by assessing his aptitude, attitude, interests, orientation style, and personality traits, and guide him toward the most suitable career options.

Based on the psychometric test results, he should start applying for the relevant entrance exams or participate in counselling for fields like Architecture, Design, or other areas aligned with his strengths. Consider management quota only as a last resort and if it is financially feasible. Ultimately, success in any domain depends on continuously upgrading skills and maintaining a genuine interest in that field. All the Best for your Prosperous Future.
