Ved Question by Ved on Jul 10, 2025Hindi
Career

" Sir l got 95% in class 10 and then I have two options 1.11-12 and MHT CET through BTech 2.Diploma and then BTech I was confused in this two options please tell me which one is good for my future"

Ans: Ved, Pursuing an engineering diploma immediately after Class 10 fast-tracks technical education through a three-year curriculum focused on hands-on workshops, industry-aligned modules and early employability via lateral-entry into the second year of B.Tech, enabling professional readiness by age 19 and reducing overall tuition costs. However, diploma holders may face gaps in advanced theory, additional bridging courses in mathematics for degree equivalence and competitive entry into top-tier engineering programs. Alternatively, completing 11th and 12th followed by MHT CET preserves a strong foundation in physics, chemistry and mathematics, keeps open all university options including premier institutes, and aligns with standard recruitment criteria for B.Tech admissions, albeit extending the timeline by two years and requiring intensive coaching for competitive state-level entrance exams.

Recommendation: Opt for the 11–12 + MHT CET route to ensure robust conceptual grounding, full access to prestigious engineering colleges and uninterrupted academic progression; consider the diploma pathway only if early industry entry and cost savings are paramount for your personal circumstances. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Sir I got 97 percentile in mhtcet please let me know what would be better for me among vjti-textile engineering COEP - metallurgy,ICT chemical engineering,father agnel Vashi-Computer science,VESIT- electronics and computer science engineering or artificial intelligence and data science or IT,wce sangli-electrical engineering or mechanical engineering
Ans: With 97 percentile in MHT CET, you are not eligible for CSE, IT, or AI/DS in top colleges like VJTI, COEP, or ICT Mumbai, as their cutoffs for these branches are above 98.5–99.9 percentile for the general category. VJTI Textile Engineering is accessible at your score (cutoff ~95 percentile), but placements and industry scope are more limited compared to core tech branches. COEP Metallurgy is also available at 97 percentile, offering decent placements (82% in 2022) and strong academic reputation, but not as lucrative as CSE/IT. ICT Chemical Engineering typically requires 98–99 percentile, so it is unlikely at your score. Father Agnel Vashi CSE/IT is possible, as their cutoffs for these branches are around 94.7–95.5 percentile, with good placement rates and strong industry connections. VESIT Mumbai offers CSE, IT, AI-DS, and Electronics & Computer Science at 96–98 percentile cutoffs, with 80%+ placement rates, strong recruiter presence, and modern infrastructure. WCE Sangli’s Electrical and Mechanical branches are open at 97 percentile, with robust academic support and steady placements, though not as high as top Mumbai/Pune colleges. The recommendation is to prioritize CSE, IT, AI-DS, or Electronics & Computer Science at VESIT Mumbai or Father Agnel Vashi for better placement prospects and industry exposure, followed by COEP Metallurgy or WCE Sangli Electrical/Mechanical if you prefer a core engineering path; VJTI Textile is a good option only if you have a specific interest in that field. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Tech Careers and Skill Development Expert - Answered on Dec 05, 2025

Career
Dear Sir, I did my BTech from a normal engineering college not very famous. The teaching was not great and hence i did not study well. I tried my best to learn coding including all the technologies like html,css,javascript,react js,dba,php because i wanted to be a web developer But nothing seem to enter my head except html and css. I don't understand a language which has more complexities. Is it because of my lack of experience or not devoting enough time. I am not sure. I did many courses online and tried to do diplomas also abroad which i passed somehow. I recently joined android development course because i like apps but the teaching was so fast that i could not memorize anything. There was no time to even take notes down. During the course i did assignments and understood the code because i have to pass but after the course is over i tend to forget everything. I attempted a lot of interviews. Some of them i even got but could not perform well so they let me go. Now due to the AI booming and job markets in a bad shape i am re-thinking whether to keep studying or whether its just time waste. Since 3 years i am doing labour type of jobs which does not yield anything to me for survival and to pay my expenses. I have the quest to learn everything but as soon as i sit in front of the computer i listen to music or read something else. What should i do to stay more focused? What should i do to make myself believe confident. Is there still scope of IT in todays world? Kindly advise.
Ans: Your story does not show failure.
It shows persistence, effort, and desire to improve.

Most people give up.
You didn’t.
That means you will succeed — but with the right method, not the old one.

Dating, Relationships Expert - Answered on Dec 04, 2025

Asked by Anonymous - Dec 02, 2025Hindi
Relationship
My married ex still texts me for comfort. Because of him, I am unable to move on. He makes me feel guilty by saying he got married out of family pressure. His dad is a cardiac patient and mom is being treated for cancer. He comforts me by saying he will get separated soon and we will get married because he only loves me. We have been in a relationship for 14 years and despite everything we tried, his parents refused to accept me, so he chose to get married to someone who understands our situation. I don't know when he will separate from his wife. She knows about us too but she comes from a traditional family. She also confirmed there is no physical intimacy between them. I trust him, but is it worth losing my youth for him? Honestly, I am worried and very confused.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand how difficult it is to let go of a relationship you have built from scratch, but is it really how you want to continue? It really seems to be going nowhere. His parents are already in bad health and he married someone else for their happiness. Does it seem like he will be able to leave her? So many people’s happiness and lives depend on this one decision. I think it’s about time you and your BF have a clear conversation about the same. If he can’t give a proper timeline, please try to understand his situation. But also make sure he understands yours and maybe rethink this equation. It really isn’t healthy. You deserve a love you can have wholly, and not just in pieces, and in the shadows.

Hope this helps
