Respected Dr. Natarajan, I have been running a small garment export unit in Tirupur for the last 10 years, started by my father. We specialize in knitted apparel. Business was good, but lately, global competition from countries like Bangladesh and Vietnam has become very tough. Also, buyers are demanding faster delivery and more sustainable practices. I want to grow my business, maybe even diversify into new product lines or reach new markets. My question is, how can a small business like mine, with limited capital and resources, effectively compete with larger players and adapt to these changing demands? What are some innovative strategies for growth that I can explore, perhaps leveraging technology, but without making huge investments that I cannot afford? I am looking for practical advice on how to sustain and expand my family business in this challenging environment.

Ans: Both are good. Decision is yours. With a JEE Main rank of 25,453, a candidate has a good chance of getting into IIITs, GFTIs, and some NITs for CSE or ECE. While securing CSE in a top-tier NIT like NIT Trichy might be challenging, they could still potentially get into a lower-tier NIT like NIT Nagaland or a good IIIT for CSE or ECE. Take correct decision. It will decide your destiny. Professor

Ans: For Computer Science Engineering (CSE), Thapar University generally has a slight edge over Manipal's main campus due to its faculty quality, project opportunities, and student orientation, especially for those interested in developing their skills and pursuing industry-oriented placements. While both institutions offer strong CSE programs and comparable placement rates, Thapar's focus on project-based learning and industry-oriented skills development may be a more advantageous factor for some students. Best of luck to your daughter, May GOD bless her. I am always available for the children.
