I am studying B tech CSE with Ai and ML have a CGPA of 8.34 with zero backlogs but all of a sudden i lost all my tech skills in my summer break of 4 months i can remember my subject as well as syntax i am in a dilemma and not understanding what to do how to cope up i am getting afraid that i might loose interest on tech industry and i dont have other skills my parents are suggesting me to do my masters abroad what should i do plz guide me.

Ans: Dear , I do appreciate your concerns however I don't fully agree that with a gap of only 4 months , you are lost ... Even of you feel like out of touch , a serious revision will certainly higher studies bridge the gap to great extent. Let me also add, Nothing can stop you if you are determined to crack any technical job after resuming your studies. Moving to abroad for higher studies ??? , I don't find any justification however if your parents want you can try but I don't think . It will change your career to 360degree if your fundamentals are weak. Better you try to complete your engineering course and then plan for career options.

Hello sir ..i am b.tech mechanical passout in 2019. Due to preparation of government job .gape create now i dont have skills of mechanical engineering but theory portion is also not so good ..what should i do..?
Ans: Remember, it’s never too late to learn and adapt. Take small steps, stay motivated, and you’ll make progress.
If you’re still interested in government jobs, focus on the specific requirements for those roles. Some government jobs may not require in-depth mechanical engineering skills, alternatively, explore other career paths where your skills and interests align.

1. Attend workshops, conferences, and webinars related to mechanical engineering.
2. Networking can lead to job opportunities and skill development, like LinkedIn & related sites you can develop your networking with companies, conferences & workshops. Improve your communication skills. Being able to explain technical concepts clearly is essential, enhance whatever you learn in theoretical manners.
3. Start by revisiting the core concepts of mechanical engineering. Brush up on topics like thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and solid mechanics, meanwhile, look for local maker spaces or engineering clubs where you can collaborate on projects and gain practical experience.

Alternatively you can explore online platforms like Coursera, edX, or Udemy for courses related to mechanical engineering. These platforms offer self-paced learning and cover a wide range of topics, after becoming data science & coding experts you can explore new heights of career.

Can I get NIT Trichy ECE with 98%ile in JEE MAINS 2025 ?? EWS rank 4146
Ans: Providing precise admission chances for each student can be challenging. Some reputed educational websites offer ‘College Predictor’ tools where you can check possible college options based on your percentile, category, and preferences. However, for a more accurate understanding, here’s a simple yet effective 9-step method using JoSAA’s past-year opening and closing ranks. This approach gives you a fair estimate (though not 100% exact) of your admission chances based on the previous year’s data.

Here is, How to Predict Your Chances of Admission into NIT or IIIT or GFTI After JEE Main Results – A Step-by-Step Guide.

Step-by-Step Guide to Check Your Admission Chances Using JoSAA Data
Step 1: Collect Your Key Details
Before starting, note down the following details:

Your JEE Main percentile
Your category (General-Open, SC, ST, OBC-NCL, EWS, PwD categories)
Preferred institute types (NIT, IIIT, GFTI)
Preferred locations (or if you're open to any location in India)
List of at least 3 preferred academic programs (branches) as backups (instead of relying on just one option)
Step 2: Access JoSAA’s Official Opening & Closing Ranks
Go to Google and type: JoSAA Opening & Closing Ranks 2024
Click on the first search result (official JoSAA website).
You will land directly on JoSAA’s portal, where you can enter your details to check past-year cutoffs.
Step 3: Select the Round Number
JoSAA conducts five rounds of counseling.
For a safer estimate, choose Round 4, as most admissions are settled by this round.
Step 4: Choose the Institute Type
Select NIT, IIIT, or GFTI, depending on your preference.
If you are open to all types of institutes, check them one by one instead of selecting all at once.
Step 5: Select the Institute Name (Based on Location)
It is recommended to check institutes one by one, based on your preferred locations.
Avoid selecting ‘ALL’ at once, as it may create confusion.
Step 6: Select Your Preferred Academic Program (Branch)
Enter the branches you are interested in, one at a time, in your preferred order.
Step 7: Submit and Analyze Results
After selecting the relevant details, click the ‘SUBMIT’ button.
The system will display Opening & Closing Ranks of the selected institute and branch for different categories both Home State (HS) i.e. State you belong to & also Other State (OS).
Step 8: Note Down the Opening & Closing Ranks
Maintain a notebook or diary to record the Opening & Closing Ranks for each institute and branch you are interested in, separately for HS & OS Categories for a quick reference.
This will serve as a quick reference during JoSAA counseling.
Step 9: Adjust Your Expectations on a Safer Side
Since Opening & Closing Ranks fluctuate slightly each year, always adjust the numbers for safety.
Example Calculation:
If the Opening & Closing Ranks for NIT Delhi | Mechanical Engineering | OPEN Category show 8622 & 26186 (for Home State), consider adjusting them to 8300 & 23000 (on a safer side).
If the Female Category rank is 34334 & 36212, adjust it to 31000 & 33000.

Follow this approach for Other State candidates and different categories.
Pro Tip: Adjust your expected rank slightly lower than the previous year's cutoffs for realistic expectations during JoSAA counseling.

Can This Method Be Used for JEE April & JEE Advanced?
Yes! You can repeat the same steps after your April JEE Main results to refine your admission possibilities.
You can also follow a similar process for JEE Advanced cutoffs when applying for IITs.
