Maam, Need your advice for my son's Carrer. Currently he is pursuing PU I - Commerce. In fact, he has only selected the course and pursue CA, even though he was having better % in 10th Board exam. Few challenges - Teenage related problem and more time on Gadget. - Time management. - As a parent we are very much worried about his future and tried our level best to explain, But somehow things are not moving in proper direction Kindly advise if there is a way, we can put him back to the track and focus on the studies for his betterment
Ans: Dear Balaji,
The distractions in this Digital Age are many and in a way, I do believe that if you want to see your child change, it begins at home.
Time Management is one of the most essential factors while studying for competitive exams and electronic gadgets can throw that off gear. Put down a gadget-free time at home where every member adheres to it. When your son sees everyone at home doing this, it becomes less of a resistance for him to turn in his gadget.
As for better focus, it's time he takes responsibility else you will be constantly hand-holding him. He needs to understand that not paying attention to studies in only going to result in poor grades. Let him realize that on his own.
A few ways to improve focus:
- sports or any physical activity for at 40 mins every day
- drawing/painting/any creative activity that he enjoys for at least 15 mins every day
- mind exercises to improve focus find videos on the internet on this)
- no nagging from family members as they only result in rebelling from the other side
- being supportive as parents BUT shifting responsibility to him

You can only try if these work. Usually parents throw their hands up in the air and say: I have done all this, nothing works!
Well, your children and when something does not work, try something else to make things work, right? I am this will work...

All the best!

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!

Ans: VIT Vellore’s CSE program is housed within an A++ NAAC-accredited deemed university with ABET and NBA-accreditation, delivered by a large cohort of PhD-qualified faculty across 19 research centres and 20+ specialised labs (AI/ML, IoT, data science) under a fully flexible credit system. Its strong industry-academia partnerships—encompassing MoUs with global institutions and continual technology-transfer agreements—complement mandatory internships and project work. Placements yield 80–90% branch-wise consistency over three years with an average package rising to ?9.9 LPA in 2024–25 and top recruiters numbering over 400. IIIT Sri City, an Institute of National Importance under PPP, offers a NAAC-accredited, AICTE-approved CSE curriculum aligned with IIIT-Hyderabad pedagogy, taught by international PhD faculty in modern AI/ML, data-science and software labs. Its UG-focused research centers and entrepreneurship hub facilitate two-month internships from Year 1. Placements have achieved 89.67% in 2024 and 81.44% in 2025, with CSE averaging ?14.5 LPA (median ?12 LPA) and top offers up to ?120 LPA from Amazon, Google and Microsoft.

For superior placement averages, focused AI/ML research exposure and a high recruiter footprint, recommendation is IIIT Sri City CSE. If holistic academic flexibility, global accreditation (ABET), expansive faculty strength and robust industry-academic innovation partnerships are priorities, choose VIT Vellore CSE. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
