CRL 33,852 (JEE Mains): DTU Mech vs. IIIT Kottayam CS Cybersecurity?

Ans: Hello dear
If no other option remains, then consider the VIPS option. However, it is highly recommended that, before taking admission, visit the institute personally to clear all doubts.
Good luck!

Ans: Here’s what you should know:
MPH is a strong and growing field in the US, especially after COVID. But OPT opportunities depend on your specialization, location, and networking.
If you choose areas like epidemiology, biostatistics, health informatics, or data analysis, you’ll have better chances—even as an international student.
But if your focus is more general (like health policy or community health), jobs can be more competitive, and many roles may require US citizenship or permanent residency—especially in government or public-funded projects.

So, to improve your chances:
• Choose universities with good industry links and strong career services.
• Start interning or volunteering during your course.
• Target roles in nonprofits, research, healthcare startups, or hospital systems that are known to hire internationals.
OPT is available, but getting a job sponsor for H-1B later in this field is tougher than tech, so planning ahead is key.
If your goal is long-term work in the US, combine your MPH with data, analytics, or global health—that opens more doors.

Ans: Sure sir,
Your son's CRL is 335540 and EWS rank is 47200. He was born in Uttarakhand and did Class 12 from Delhi with 86%. So, for JoSAA counselling, home state quota will mostly apply to Delhi, unless you have a proper Uttarakhand domicile certificate.
For CSE, this rank is a bit on the higher side, but there are still good options if you're open to:
• lower branches (like ECE/EEE/IT),
• private universities,
• or state-level counselling.
Possible options:
Uttarakhand State Counselling

Delhi Counselling (GGSIPU)
Since he studied in Delhi, he can apply to IP University colleges like:
Private Universities through JEE Score - Some private universities offer CSE at this rank, and they also offer scholarships
What You Should Do:
1. Fill CSAB counselling after JoSAA – sometimes seats are vacant in spot rounds.
2. Apply for Uttarakhand state counselling – there’s a good chance he can get something there.
3. Consider good private universities – many have strong CSE programs with industry tie-ups.
If your budget is around ?5–10 lakhs, then a good private college is possible for CSE.
If you're looking strictly for a government college, then you may need to compromise a bit on the branch.

Ans: Sure. Grade 8 is a great time to start.
Here’s how your son can begin his Math Olympiad journey:
1. Build Strong Basics – Ensure his school math (especially algebra, number theory, geometry, and combinatorics) is crystal clear.
2. Start with Books – Begin with books like:
o Challenge and Thrill of Pre-College Mathematics
o Math Olympiad Contest Problems by George Lenchner
o Problem-Solving Strategies by Arthur Engel (for later stages)
3. Join a Foundation Course – Look for a reliable Olympiad training program—like RMO Foundation Courses offered by institutes like Cheenta, Vidyamandir, or Pi Circles.
4. Practice Regularly – Encourage daily problem-solving—focus on logic, puzzles, and Olympiad-type problems, not just formulas.
5. Appear for Pre-RMO – That’s the first official step in the Olympiad ladder. It usually starts from Grade 8 or 9.
6. Stay Consistent – Don’t rush. Let him enjoy math and develop deep thinking. Olympiads are not about speed, but depth.
Support him emotionally too—it’s a long but rewarding journey.

Ans: If you are very sure about your interest in a specific branch (like CSE, ECE, etc.), then go by branch first. Because your career will depend more on what you study than where you study—especially if the college is decent.
But if you're not very fixed on the branch, and your main goal is good campus life, exposure, placements, and faculty, then go by college. A top college will open up more opportunities—even if the branch is slightly less popular.

Ideal case: Try to get a good branch in a good college (like RV, BMSCE, MSRIT, etc.)
But if you have to choose, go by branch if you’re clear about your interest. Otherwise, go by college for overall support and exposure.
Also, look at last year’s cut-offs before locking your choice.

Ans: Here’s a simple step-by-step path you can follow to get started in AI:
1. Start with Python – Since you have a technical background, learning Python will be easy. It’s the main language used in AI. Use beginner-friendly platforms like Coursera or Udemy.
2. Learn AI Basics – Begin with the basics of machine learning (ML), which is a core part of AI. A good course is Andrew Ng’s ML course on Coursera.
3. Explore Practical Tools – Learn tools like TensorFlow or PyTorch (for ML models) and basic data handling using Pandas and NumPy.
4. Focus on Projects – Try small hands-on projects like predictive maintenance (can relate to your industry), image recognition, or control systems using AI. This will bridge your domain knowledge with AI.
5. Join AI Forums or Groups – Connect with AI communities, maybe even ones for professionals in engineering fields. You’ll learn a lot from discussion and real problems.
6. Optional: Certifications – If you want formal recognition, go for AI certifications from IBM, Google, or Microsoft.
Since you’re already a consultant, you could eventually apply AI to industrial automation, fault detection, or predictive analytics in cement and power sectors.
Go step by step—don’t rush. Even 1 hour a day will help you grow steadily.

Ans: Lund University is one of Europe’s top and oldest universities, located in Sweden. It's well known for research, innovation, and high-quality education—especially in science, engineering, medicine, business, and social sciences. Many global companies collaborate with it, so students get good exposure.
Getting in depends on the course. For popular English-taught master’s and bachelor’s programs, it can be competitive, especially for international students. They look at your academic scores, motivation letter, and sometimes work experience or specific subject knowledge. So yes, it's not easy—but with good grades and a strong application, it's possible.
