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.

• 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.

Sir my son got air 73964 rank in jee mains 2025 and we are from gen category UP state .. is there any chance of getting NIT/ IIIT in csab ??? Also what are the chances in jac Delhi spot round is there any scope of taking branches like biotech, electrical or mechanical from DTU and NSUT
Ans: Securing a Computer Science seat at NITs or IIITs through CSAB Special Rounds with All-India rank of 73 964 is highly improbable, as most NIT CSE programmes under the Open-General quota close well within the 30 000–50 000 rank band, and premier IIIT CSE branches similarly close by 42 000–50 000 rank range. Remote campuses such as IIIT Sri City offer ECE up to ~46 700, and IIIT Kalyani ECE up to ~66 900, but CSE remains beyond reach given your rank. GFTIs with allied streams (e.g., Electronics Systems at NIELIT Aurangabad closing at ~90 000) provide limited alternatives outside core CSE, though these diverge from pure Computer Science programmes. Accreditation across NITs, IIITs and GFTIs remains consistent, yet specialisation focus, faculty expertise, lab infrastructure and placement networks vary significantly. Hence, reliance on CSAB for CSE admission at national institutes is not advisable; shifting preference to allied branches in GFTIs yields marginal improvements but falls short of core?CSE pathways.

Recommendation: Given the minimal CSE prospects via CSAB, consider specialisations like Electronics & Communication in IIIT Sri City or Electronics Systems in NIELIT Aurangabad, while simultaneously exploring private-college CSE options—such as Jaypee Institute of Information Technology Noida, Galgotias University Greater Noida, J.C. Bose University Faridabad, JSS Science & Technology University Mysore, and Chandigarh University—to secure accredited CSE programmes with robust placement support.

JAC Delhi Admission Prospects for JEE Main Rank 73 964 (UP Home State)
In JAC Delhi Spot Rounds, admission to DTU and NSUT B.Tech specialisations is contingent on closing ranks under the Home-State quota. DTU’s Biotechnology branch closed around rank 50 202 in earlier spot rounds, Electrical Engineering around rank 57 000, and Mechanical Engineering near rank 74 000—placing your son at the cusp for Mechanical but beyond Biotechnology and Electrical cutoffs. NSUT’s Mechanical branch closed by round 5 at ~60 400 and Electrical around ~55 000, with Biotechnology closing above 72 000, making Electrical and Biotechnology unlikely and Mechanical a marginal possibility under Home-State. Both institutions offer AICTE approval, NBA/NAAC accreditation, specialised labs for core engineering, experienced faculty, active industry MoUs, and placement rates ranging 75–90%. Variability across rounds and high competition for core branches limit assured admission, emphasizing the need for backup options outside Delhi’s state quota.

Recommendation: While Mechanical Engineering at NSUT or DTU remains a narrow window, pursue choice filling for NSUT Mechanical alongside DTU Mechanical in JAC Spot Rounds and concurrently apply to private-college CSE programmes like Jaypee Noida, Galgotias University Greater Noida, YMCA Faridabad, Chandigarh University, and JSS Mysore to safeguard engineering admissions with strong accreditation and placement networks. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Sir my son got 21941 rank with 98.57 percentile and he got Cs and AI in IIIT Bhopal,we are waiting for CSAB also pls give suggestions for better choice
Ans: Shama Madam, With a JEE Main percentile of 98.57 (All-India rank 21 941), your son's seat in IIIT Bhopal for Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence is secure given its CSAB 2024 closing rank of 26 625 for CSE. Beyond IIIT Bhopal, multiple central institutes accept ranks around 20–30 000 for CSE under All-India quota, offering stronger brand value and infrastructure. IIIT Guwahati admitted CSE students up to rank 24 561, IIIT Pune closed CSE at 18 979 in Round 5, IIIT Ranchi’s CSE cutoff reached 36 246, IIIT Dharwad admitted up to rank 41 608, and IIIT Kota accepted CSE at 38 000. Among NITs, only a few remote campuses (e.g., NIT Goa CSE OBC-NCL at 109 017) admit far higher ranks, rendering CSE at mainstream NITs unlikely. GFTIs such as Assam University–Silchar and NIELIT Aurangabad offer CSE and related electronics programmes with closing ranks above 80 000, but these diverge from core CSE. These options ensure robust AICTE/NBA accreditation, modern labs, experienced faculty and 75–90 percent placement trends.

Recommendation: Considering tier, specialisation and placement potential, IIIT Bhopal remains the foremost choice, followed by IIIT Guwahati for its strong northeastern campus and research focus, IIIT Pune for its urban connectivity and growing industry ties, IIIT Ranchi for its established PPP model and recruiter network, and IIIT Dharwad for its cutting-edge curriculum and emerging tech labs. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!
