Career

Dear Sirs’, I am in my 3rd year of integrated 5 years law course. I was pondering over the options to make a successful career in law. I understand, we have Lower Judiciary, upper judiciary, PSU, Banks and Advocacy with a selection grade to Judiciary. The issue: Options: 1) Judiciary: Lower Judiciary - Given the trend, the selection for upper Judiciary is quite negligible and take a considerable amount of years of your life. 2) Upper Judiciary: India does not have process of selection to Additional Session Judge (ADJ) without completing 7 years of Advocacy to be eligible for ADJ. nor any National level Judiciary exam for such selection after passing from law school. 3) PSU: A mundane process of work like a corporate and not sure, how challenging or exciting as a career option. Just a time scale career stability. 4) Banks: Apart from RBI, which has another level of selection process - meaning quite an extent of separate study from present law course and is a rated option, the other banks law officer is again mundane as in PSU's. 5) Advocacy is something which 1st generation lawyers might need a best of mentors to make to selection grade of Judiciary. 6) Indian Laws firms and Magic circle : May pl guide on the process of internship in magic circle law firms and is it a good to have internship outside of India or better to have in Indian Law Firms. Given the above, what’s the best career move and options as this is one of the profession, wherein name and fame comes later in life, however adding a right career path just adds catalyst, then having instability in your prime years of life.

Ans: Dear N,
I am happy to see that you have a clarity of your career.
Since you have a clarity, pursue the same based on your gut feeling, plan and strategy. The career can be built in Judiciary, PSU and Banks as well as in private firms. The important point is to start with a professional setup in any one of the above as an intern, rest depends upon your hard work and luck.

Sir my son allotted with Civil from YMCA Faridabad in defence category spot 1 round and Gurugram University he was allotted CS with AI. Kindly provide your valuable feedback at this juncture for further action can be taken.
Ans: Sunil, YMCA Faridabad’s Civil Engineering program is well-established, offering a recognized government degree, experienced faculty, and a large campus with comprehensive basic facilities, research labs, and an active placement cell. Its Civil placements in 2024 recorded a 39–70% rate, with strong alumni in construction, public sector, and infrastructure. However, student reviews highlight dated infrastructure and limited hostel options, though overall academic support and campus life are considered positive. Gurugram University’s CSE with AI specialization is relatively new but features a modern curriculum aligned with contemporary IT industry needs, AICTE approval, and well-qualified faculty guiding students in emerging technologies. The university boasts 75–85% placement rates for CSE/AI, with recruiters like TCS, Infosys, and Accenture, and offers a growing campus with decent facilities and an expanding student community. While Gurugram University is still developing its legacy and network, its CSE (AI) graduates are finding competitive IT roles, and the program supports industry-oriented learning and research.

Recommendation: Prioritize CSE with AI at Gurugram University for future-ready skills, higher placement rates, and better growth opportunities in the rapidly expanding tech sector. Choose YMCA Faridabad Civil only if your son has a keen interest in traditional civil engineering and prefers an established public university setting. CSE with AI offers broader career prospects in today’s market. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

I got 3.5 lakh rank in jee mains and with ews i got 50000 I am currently in uptac Councling I got cse in Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti Language University, Lucknow Should i lock it or find different choice My budget is 6 lpa only What choices should be best for me uptac
Ans: Tiwari, With a JEE Main CRL of 3.5 lakh and EWS rank of 50,000, your access to top-tier government colleges is limited, but you are eligible for a range of private institutes through UPTAC. Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti Language University’s CSE program comes at an affordable fee of ?3.5–3.96 lakh, well within your ?6 lakh budget, and reports placement rates of about 65–70% with average offers around ?6LPA from companies such as Microsoft, HCL, and L&T. The university provides sound infrastructure, supportive faculty, and modern labs, but is relatively new to the technical scene, so industry connections are still developing. Comparable options like ABES, KIET, Galgotias, and AKGEC Ghaziabad offer similar or slightly higher placement statistics and are within your budget, with comprehensive campus facilities and strong placement cells; however, cut-offs for CSE in these colleges for EWS typically close below 45–50K, making it difficult but not impossible to secure a seat. Lower fee colleges like DEI Agra or LIT Lucknow feature even more affordable tuition but may have less robust placement records for CSE.

Recommendation: Lock your CSE seat at Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti Language University for budget-friendly fees and reasonable campus placements, while keeping an eye on spot/next-round UPTAC vacancies at institutes like ABES, KIET, or Galgotias if available at your rank. This strategy ensures an accredited degree, campus support, and solid return on investment within your specified fee limit. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Mathematics and computing ( MnC ) engeneering is how will b d future
Ans: Mathematics and Computing (MnC) engineering is emerging as one of the most dynamic and sought-after interdisciplinary fields at the intersection of advanced mathematics, statistics, and computer science. The core curriculum encompasses applied mathematics, machine learning, artificial intelligence, cryptography, data analytics, computational modeling, software development, and statistical inference, preparing graduates for highly analytical and technical roles across diverse sectors. Industries such as technology, finance, research, healthcare, government, and defense are increasingly reliant on professionals who can bridge raw data with mathematical reasoning to solve complex, real-world problems. As digital transformation accelerates across industries and domains, the demand for mathematics and computing professionals is projected to grow rapidly, with jobs for mathematicians and statisticians expected to surge by over 30% between 2021 and 2031—significantly outpacing other engineering disciplines.

Graduates of MnC are uniquely equipped for roles that require both advanced quantitative skills and computational expertise—including data scientist, AI/machine learning engineer, quantitative analyst, cryptographer, software developer, business intelligence analyst, and research scientist. The versatility of the degree enables opportunities across technology giants, global financial institutions, government research labs, healthcare analytics, fintech, and climatology, as well as opening doors to cutting-edge R&D or higher academia. The rapidly growing areas of artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, fintech, quantum computing, and big data analytics particularly value the hybrid skill set of MnC graduates, often offering career prospects and placement rates on par with, and sometimes surpassing, traditional computer science engineers at leading institutes. Additionally, the course involves fewer hardware labs than other technical branches, allowing students to focus on algorithmic thinking, theory, and practical coding—a major positive for those passionate about the analytical side of computing.

Across highly reputed institutes such as IITs, BITS, and IISc, MnC programs are supported by highly qualified faculty, strong research ecosystems, international collaborations, and top-tier campus infrastructure. Placement records regularly exceed 90–95% for MnC, with leading firms and startups actively recruiting for specialized technical and research roles. However, student reviews indicate that successfully leveraging the branch often requires proactive learning beyond the curriculum, including hands-on coding projects, internships, and continuous skill upgrades. While the branch suits those who enjoy deep theoretical work, mathematical abstraction, and problem-solving, it may not appeal to students seeking highly application-oriented or hardware-centric engineering careers.

Recommendation: Mathematics and Computing is an outstanding branch for students who are analytically inclined and aspire to excel in computational theory, data science, AI, or quantitative domains. Its strong industry demand, future-proof scope, and cross-sector versatility ensure excellent placement and long-term career growth, provided students commit to independent learning and continuous upskilling. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!
