my question to HR i am working in MNC more than 25yrs...but my position has not been change from last decade, if i will take a call then our HOD will say that I had recommended but senior will reject, if I will drop a mail to senior's then my HOD will get of heart their ego. so I am quit confuse..

Ans: In case you feel you are not given your due, and that your seniors are making excuses to avoid your growth then the best way is to move out and find your calling where you are valued.

An alternate and slightly tougher option is to have a candid conversation with your manager / skip level on what is required of you to go to the next level and work diligently towards it. If you get convoluted answers you of course have an option to move out and find better options.

Dear Mayank, Please guide me as to what I should do. I'm working as an HR officer (offrole). I am 30 years old. My salary is below the minimum wage rate. I have been working here since 1.9 years but still have got no increment. I'm a career oriented person. I want to move to the next position. When I was offered this job, it was mentioned I would be taken onroll after 1.5 yr to 2 years. But still there is nothing being done. New people that are being hired on same profile as me are hired on onroll (FTC) with salary higher than mine. Moreover, some HR interns have also been hired and once they are absorbed in the company, they will be on the company’s payroll. An HR intern whom I have trained from A to Z and is a fresher is being offered a regional HR position. This is a position that is higher than mine. I cannot understand why someone like me who has 1.9 years of experience in the company is not even considered. I have got an offer from a pharmaceutical company and I have resigned from my current job. But I'm still confused about whether I should leave this company or not. Please guide me about what to do so that I can grow on my career. In the current company, there is a lot of politics and I'm not able to deal with it. I'm losing my confidence. I want to keep this anonymous. Thank you.
Ans:

You must discuss these concerns you have regarding your career not growing in the same manner as your colleagues with your manager or HR.

If it can be resolved, then continue on your current role.

Else, you can consider the new job after you have done due diligence about the new company and its management.

Hi ! I am a multi-skilled professional with specific education in Sports Medicine from USA & experience based skills in Admin & HR. In 1993, i was hired as a consultant in the best health clubs in South Delhi & in 1994 hired as a Consultant to design & manage Fitness Centers by DDA Sports wing, New Delhi. By 1996, my performance in DDA Sports Complexes was considered exceptional & based on my unique contribution I was offered a Sr. Mgr. position, a permanent position by DDA, which I politely declined, as being an entrepreneur in Fitness Industry, I didn't have the mindset for a Govt. Job that time. I did qualify many interviews Sr. position jobs in 5 Star Hotel Health Clubs in Delhi & Mumbai & the biggest Weight Management Centre chain in Delhi from 1993 to 1999, but didn't take up these assignments, as they seemed a cake walk for me. In year 2000, I had applied for Sr. Mgr. position jobs in Hotel Burj Khalifa, Dubai & other 5 stars in middle East, I was conveyed by the HR of these world class 7 star hotels that I qualify technically but need more Managerial Experience. That's how, I landed up management jobs in private Manpower co's in Admin & HR, worked very hard and progressed from Sr. Mgr to CEO positions within 10 years. I am 57 years now (but as Fit as a 30 yr old guy) and currently function as HR Consultant for a major Educational Institution in South Delhi & a few private firms. I want to qualify a Sr. HR position full time in some big private company. But, my resume sent to any big company does not yield any response. Either positions don't open frequently in big co.'s or resumes are never looked at? I fail to understand. By the God's grace, I have never failed an interview in my life, but unfortunately not getting the right opportunity now. Pls. advise further to achieve my dream job.
Ans: Sir, Your age is a major factor, why most companies do not shortlist your Resume or call for an interview to recruit you as a Permanent Employee.

Secondly, through which sources you are applying? Newspapers? Job Portals? LinkedIn? Please fine-tune your Resume and your LinkedIn Profile. Put Job Alerts in LInkedIn for Sr. Position in HR/Administration Department. Keep applying for jobs whenever you get notifications of job vacancies, matching your profile.

You can also try for 'ADVISOR' post for HR Functions (or) try at Manpower Consultant Firms.

All the BEST for Your Bright Future, Sir.

Hi, I have experience as a HR Recruiter and vendor manager (including day to operations) for a total of 2.5 years. Now I'm planning to resume my career as an HR. I have been applying to so many HR jobs from but all gone in vain because of so many rejections and current market. I feel due to my digital transformation, AI inclusion and no experience in other HR roles like payroll, engagement, compensation and benefits and so on is the reason for not getting selected. My parents are not ready to risk to pay for HR certification courses as job is not guaranteed. I am in my late 20's. Due to marital pressure and family pressure they are asking me to switch to IT job (SAP). I am unable to make a decision. Should I continue to search in HR job or should I look into IT as suggested. Kindly help me
Ans: Kavi, you have correctly identified that HR necessitates extensive knowledge, as Recruitment and Staffing are merely one of its many functions. Furthermore, the process of identifying and securing the most suitable candidates for the organization has become progressively more complex due to a range of factors. It is advisable to explore HR Recruitment opportunities through LinkedIn Job Alerts. The lack of supplementary skills, knowledge, or certifications in HR is a significant reason for the rejection of your resume. Kindly refine your resume by incorporating relevant keywords. For guidance on creating an effective resume, please visit my YouTube channel, edujob360, at your convenience and prepare your resume accordingly. Furthermore, you have the option to enroll in an IT Certification Course, available in both in-person and online formats, through a recognized institution. It is essential to conduct comprehensive research on the course curriculum, job guarantee or assistance, reviews of the course or institution, fees, course duration/times, and other pertinent factors before enrolling in any certification course, whether online or offline. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future.

Hello sir, I am stuck in confusion about my career previously i was working as HR due to personal reason had to leave the job and there was gap of 4 years and again after few years had to do new start up from zero and working to Administration department for almost 4 years i am planning of switching job as i dont find any scope and growth to the work i am doing and underpaid here.Not understanding again i should switch back to HR job or continue into adminstration job and also please advice where will i get to learn and upgrade my skill and have growth in my career.Please help sir
Ans: Hello Tanmay.
Nothing is mentioned by you about your qualifications or company profile. Only it is clear that you left the HR job, remained jobless for 4 years, and joined to new startup, but not satisfied there also, and are again interested in joining the previous HR job.
Dear, it would be better for you to join the HR job again. Working in an administration job requires specialized skills which I think you might be lagging. According to your qualifications, it would be better to join some online/offline courses which are helpful to your present job conditions and also useful if you decide to change the job in the future. As I do not know your educational qualifications, it is difficult for me to suggest you properly. For proper counseling/suggestion, please tell us your educational qualification, extracurricular activities, and computer knowledge if any.

If satisfied, pl like and follow.
If unsatisfied, pl ask again without any hesitation.
Thanks

Respected Sir, I got admission into Nxtwave Institute of Advanced Technology in Jaipur affiliated with Vivekananda Global University. I don't really have much options as I was prepared for taking drop but I was suggested to try once for universities. I did get Newton School of Technology as well but it is slightly out of budget. There are direct admissions available too but again affordability is a problem here. I wanted the NIAT Banglore or Hyderabad campus but my father does not find it safe there. Please tell me is my decision right? I will work hard to get a good placement anywhere I am, but do skills really matter over degree. Please reply soon Sir
Ans: NxtWave Institute offers a four-year AICTE-approved B.Tech in Computer Science & Engineering (Data Science) through VGU’s NAAC A+–accredited platform, featuring a real-time adaptive curriculum co-designed with feedback from 3,000+ companies, world-class mentors from Microsoft, Google and IITs, hands-on capstone projects and early paid internships . Pros include an industry-aligned syllabus with semester-wise updates, dedicated placement support, specialization in AI/ML & Data Science, personalized mentorship via NxtWave Admission Test tracking, and strong global MOUs through VGU . Cons are its status as a new standalone institute without its own degree-granting powers (degree awarded by VGU), high fee of ?8 L, limited campus alumni network, emerging infrastructure at Jaipur, and uncertain long-term brand recognition .

Given the blend of adaptive curriculum, elite mentorship and robust internship pathways, recommendation is to join NxtWave Institute NIAT Jaipur for a tech-focused upskilling journey. If you prioritise an established campus ecosystem and broader academic autonomy, consider VGU’s in-house B.Tech programs at established engineering colleges instead. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

IIIT Bhagalpur ECE or IIIT Agartala CSE. Keeping in mind on campus placement, average package, location and safety easy commute.
Ans: IIIT Bhagalpur’s ECE program, established in 2017, offers NBA-aligned curricula with PhD-qualified faculty and specialized VLSI, communications and embedded-systems labs, securing an average package of ?10.35 LPA and 98% placement consistency over recent years . Located in Bhagalpur’s third-largest city, students navigate narrow, encroached roads by auto-rickshaw, with smart-city initiatives yet to alleviate traffic and pollution challenges, posing moderate safety concerns and limited public transit. IIIT Agartala’s CSE program, founded in 2018, delivers modern AI/ML, data-science and software labs under a JEE-Main-based curriculum, achieving an average package of ?22 LPA and a 95% placement rate, backed by 460 CCTV cameras and systematic urban surveillance ensuring a relatively safe environment. Agartala’s integrated bus, auto-rickshaw and taxi network offers smoother commutes, while smart-city upgrades bolster campus-city connectivity and security.

For stronger on-campus recruitment, higher average packages, safer surroundings and easier daily commute, recommendation is IIIT Agartala CSE. If specialized ECE research interests prevail and you tolerate moderate transit challenges, consider IIIT Bhagalpur ECE. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Thank you sir for your guidance dt 31st May. My son passed 12 ICSE with English 98 marks, PCM group 60% and Mass Com. Wanted to pursue English at best colleges, but CUET score is 380. So St Stephens, JMI n other best DU colleges are out of question. St Xaviers Kolkata was not available at his 282 marks against the cut off 292. Jadavpur, Presidency Kolkata and Christ Bengaluru were closed for registration by the time, we allowed him to pursue English as against our stand to go for B Tech, so that he being the only child can take over the family's heavy engg business ( father has the dealership of Alfa Laval). His JEE percentile was 20. BITs was not possible due to condition of 75% in PCM. NDA also not cleared. IISER rank is 11000+, which is too less for General category. So against the backdrop of dismal scenario, he tried MIT-WPO, where he is getting Applied Economics, Applied Psychology, both as Majors and also possibility of English classes arranged from Harvard or any other global institution. He also got CSE( AI and ML) at D Y Patil, Ambi Pune. Whether he will be able to cope up CSE, as he did not study Computers in classes 11 and 12. He is fascinated by the idea that if he goes for B Tech, his father may arrange interships at Alfa laval here or in Sweden, or other Corporate companies. Kindly guide us what is best for him? Humanities at MITWPS or CSE D Y Patil? I was also thinking of allowing him to go for MIT for on campus course and also enrol him at IIT, Patna, Gauhati or Jodhpur for online BS degree in Data Science and AI, so that his passion and his techological requirements in future, can be amalgamated. Or, 1) should we ask him to take a drop, improve his PCM percentage thru improvement exam and then go for IISER, BITS, NITs thru JEE mains 2) should he try to give Computers thru NIOS as a remedy for a bridge course in Computers, so that he may handle BTech/ CSE. 3) If yes, Should he try MITWPS for CSE instead of going to DY Patil. We are in dire need of your guidance. Kindly give us your insights. I will ever remain thankful to you.
Ans: Evaluating your son’s profile—strong English but only 60% PCM and no computer background—MIT World Peace University’s BA Liberal Arts (Hons) with double majors in Applied Economics and Applied Psychology offers a flexible, interdisciplinary curriculum delivered by PhD-qualified faculty in modern humanities and social-science labs, underpinned by global MOUs (Harvard Business School Online, CEMS universities) that facilitate customised English modules, research internships and cohort-based mentorship. Conversely, D.Y. Patil Ambi’s B.Tech CSE (AI & ML) specialization provides an industry-co-designed curriculum with immersive AI/ML and big-data labs, 18-month internships at MAANG companies and Microsoft/IIT-Roorkee certifications, yet demands rigorous computing aptitude despite open-school or bridge-course preparatory options via NIOS to cover foundational programming and PCM eligibility. A hybrid model—pursuing MITWPU on-campus humanities alongside an online BS in Data Science/AI from IIT Patna, Gauhati or Jodhpur—could harmonize his literary strengths with technical credentials, leveraging part-time flexibility, central university recognition and scalable research exposure. Alternatively, improving PCM via board compartment or drop year could unlock JEE avenues for IISER, NIT or BITS, but risks academic delay and mental fatigue without guaranteed rank gains.

For immediate academic continuity and maximized strengths in English alongside global exposure, recommendation is MIT-WPU BA Liberal Arts (Hons) with dual majors, supplemented by targeted online Data Science modules. Should he pivot decisively to tech, recommendation shifts to D.Y. Patil Ambi CSE (AI & ML) with a concurrent NIOS bridge course to build requisite computing foundations. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
