Respeted sir, I am a post graduate in computer science, aged 42 yrs,married trying to get a job preferably in IT as i have working experience of about 5 years.i had discontinued my job due to compelling family situations to take care of children. I am not getting any favorable response from any IT companies due to break iny carrer. Now i desperately need a job and still the hunt is going on. Kindly suggest and guide me to get a job as i am struggling to meet my commitments now. Your valuable help in this regard will be highly helpful. Thank you

Ans: Dear, the main problem is the discontinuation in your career and IT is an ever-changing field. It is not like Civil or Mechanical. Now it is an era of AI and Machine Learning. So I would suggest you to go for a good certification course of Data Science along with AI and Machine Learning from some good institute which is having collaboration with some reputed IIT. I am sure if your knowledge is upto the mark and matches with the need of the present day then certainly you will get a job. If you are not familiar with coding then please practise coding by seeing the videos in YOU TUBE for two months before joining the certificate course. Please follow me. Best of luck. MAY GOD BLESS YOU. Professor...............:)

Dear sir, Good morning. Thank you for your wishes. As suggested by you,I have enrolled myself with an institute named as INTERNSHALA TRAINING, yesterday which imparts Data science 6 month course with guaranteed placement. They are based at Gurgaon.Their brochure explains all the details on the lines of your guidance to get a job at the present scenario. Kindly verify their credentials as we find now days,so many Fake companies are coming up in the education lines too,to cheat the public. Kindly inform me in this regard to pursue the course with much confidence and trust. Thank you. Regards. S.Rengaraju
Ans: It's great to know you just followed my counselling. Whether a institute is fake or not that can be very easily found from net by searching in Google about that institute. In that my help is not at all required. You are able and smart enough to do that. Please let me know once you are placed. MAY GOD BLESS YOU. Professor..................................:)

Hello sir, I have been following your suggestion quite on this platform, please suggest! My daughter secured 72 percentile in jee main 2026. Her rank is in in 4 lakhs. Secured 180 marks in bitsat 1. What should she further do. Which counselling she should register? She wants to pursue btech in cse or in ai ml. What best university is for her at the moment and best field for her, she has had pcmb with cs in class 12
Ans: Sarita Madam, I noticed you haven’t mentioned your daughter’s home state. Please note that BITS requires a minimum of 250 marks even for its MSc programs and above 300 marks for BE programs. Also, all branches are good; initially, she should choose a branch based on her interest or passion. However, she should remain adaptable as her preferences or job market trends may change by the 2nd or 3rd year. Regarding your daughter’s score, admission to NITs, IIITs, or top-tier GFTIs is unlikely. For general-category female candidates, even CSE-lite branches in newer IIITs usually require ranks under approximately 1.5 to 2.5 lakh. Still, it is advisable to register for JoSAA and CSAB-SPOT for possible core-branch or self-finance options in lesser-known GFTIs. Additionally, state counseling is important for government-aided colleges.

As a backup, consider reputed private engineering colleges in and around your state rather than relying solely on JoSAA or CSAB. All the BEST for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future!

Sir my daughter got around 24500 rank in jee mains. We are general category and live in kanpur up. What are some good options for her in nit and iiit considering we are comfortable with mechanical and chemical as well. Also she has a plan to opt for higher studies so a good college tag could rwally help. Also should I tell her to apply for some private universities as well or not?
Ans: Based on your daughter's score, she can target MNNIT Allahabad: 2024 JoSAA HS OPEN female Mechanical closed around 30,734, so she has a fair chance; Production/Industrial and Materials are safer. Chemical at MNNIT may be tougher under available data, but fill it above Mechanical. Also fill MNIT Jaipur Chemical/Civil, NIT Kurukshetra Mechanical/Civil/Electrical as stretch, and NIT Jalandhar Chemical/Mechanical; 2024 data shows these branches often close beyond 24.5k for female/OS or comparable quotas. Also fill MNIT Jaipur Chemical/Civil, NIT Kurukshetra Mechanical/Civil/Electrical as stretch, and NIT Jalandhar Chemical/Mechanical; 2024 data shows these branches often close beyond 24.5k for female/Other State or comparable quotas. For IIITs, top IIIT Allahabad IT/ECE is unlikely at 24.5k, but include lower IIITs/GFTIs in CSAB. Your daughter must also have the following backups: Thapar, LNMIIT, Jaypee Noida, (Shiv Nadar, Manipal, and VIT - North India Campuses.) Prioritize MNNIT tag if higher studies are the plan for your daughter. All the BEST for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future!
