If i am studing diploma in civil engineering after that can i do B.Tech in Computer science

Ans: You can do, but for that again you have to do a diploma in Computer Science. You can't go directly from Civil to Computer in India. Otherwise you have to clear 11th and 12th Science (I am assuming you joined diploma after Xth Standard) and take fresh admission in Computer Science. But it will be a great loss of time. The best way is to do online BBA. It will give you graduation ( though for BBA 12th pass is essential) and after BBA you can do some good certificate course from institute like INTELLIPAAT which gives standard certificate in Data Science and Machine Learning (a need of the day) in Collaboration with IIT- Chennai/IIT- Roorkee. It will create a path for you to go in the stream of computer science. Join me in LINKEDIN for permanent connectivity and counselling. GOD BLESS YOU. Professor...........................:)

Getting Nit patna ece/Nit rkl Chemical or civil /Nit Jamshedpur EE and ME /Nit durgapur chemical/Manit allahabad core department I want to get a good college life and hence interested in joining Nit Rourkela but as my rank is not that good I am getting civil ,mme, mining,ceramic there . Should I join it or look for other nits with not that much exposure?
Ans: HI AISHA,
GREETINGS FROM REDIFFGURUS!

You are expecting to have a good college life. However, I don't fully understand what constitutes a "good" or "bad" college experience. They don’t teach life skills in college; rather, it’s how you behave during this time that matters. If you act improperly, it could lead to negative consequences.

Studying in college can be compared to a train journey: having a first-class or second-class AC coach is certainly preferable. To secure a spot in a better coach, you need to achieve good grades in school. Your academic performance will determine your rank and, consequently, the programs or branches available to you. If you don’t meet the requirements, you might have to either retake exams or enroll in whatever core courses are open to you.

To increase your job employability, you can pursue additional online programs such as data science or cybersecurity. It seems you are more focused on Rourkela rather than the specific programs available. This suggests that you might just be looking to pass the time.

If you belong to ODISHA, then there are possibilities for Chemical (chances are more being from the home state).
Electrical/Electronics might be possible in special rounds. IS THIS OK FOR YOU?

So don't worry, do participate in the counselling process till you achieve your target.
