Hi, Could you support to get my resume well tailored manner suitable to current industry trend & demand for a job

Ans: Mrutyunjaya, Here are a few easy steps to assist you in refining your resume: (1) Set up LinkedIn Job Alerts according to your domain (2) Write down and prioritize keywords from job descriptions listed on LinkedIn (3) Create a resume using the keywords you've selected using the free edition of the "cultivatedculture" website (there's no need to pay for the premium version). (4) Begin sending out resumes in response to job postings and LinkedIn Job Alerts (5) Prepare your resume to be used with applicant tracking systems (ATS) so that it may be submitted through various channels. (6) Use your profile to identify potential employers and recruiters, and then submit an application to their human resources department. (7) ABOVE ALL ELSE, make sure you have a dedicated professional email address for all of your job applications and LinkedIn profiles. Do not use your personal email address to apply for employment. (8) Apply for jobs every day, but keep track of the firms and jobs you apply for so you don't have to apply again. 9) Network with people in your field, not to solicit jobs but to get advise when you need it. (10) Connect with me on LinkedIn if you're still in need of additional tips and would like to receive a complimentary 25-page eBook on "RESUME BUILDING" that I developed after much research.

Ans: Hi Sir/ Madam,

Few aspects to relook at-

Keep the resume very precise and concise
Take help of resume builders. They are many in the market for free.
Use action words in the resume like- Directed, Managed, Implemented etc
Highlight softskills like - decision making, collaboration etc. Only highlighting technical aspect may not help. Now a days organizations look at holistic approach this is the combination of soft skills and technical skills
If applicable mention about vendor management experience
Tailor your resume as per the organizations and Job decriptions
Call out key achievements, certifications
Keep enhancing your skills
Networking and online presence

Hope this helps

Thanks

Hey , got 88.15 percentile , 183797 rank , delhi home state , gen category Any chnaces of igdtuw ( any branch)

Ans: Yes, if you are a female candidate, IGDTUW has a good chance for “any branch” under the Delhi general quota. JAC Delhi 2025 Round-1 Delhi General closing ranks were around CSE 43,914, IT 55,952, ECE 69,167, MAE 80,688, and DMAM 82,511, so at CRL 1,83,797, top branches are difficult in normal rounds. But official JAC Delhi publishes round-wise cutoffs, and later/spot rounds can go lower depending on vacancies. For JoSAA NIT/IIIT/GFTI CSE/ECE/Electrical, chances are very low at this CRL for the general category. Strategy: fill IGDTUW all branches, DTU/NSUT lower branches if allowed, JAC spot round, IPU counselling, IIITD unlikely, and backups like MAIT, MSIT, BPIT, USAR, JIIT, AKTU and reputed private colleges. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Myself Santosh from UP EWS CATEGORY i have obtain 87.63 percentile and CRL 192600 in Jee mains session 2 i would like to know that whether i could get admission in ECE, ELECTRICAL or CSE branch in any NIT or IIIT of our country

Ans: Santosh, with your score, your chances for CSE, ECE, or Electrical in NITs and IIITs are very low. More realistic options are lower branches like Civil, Mechanical, or Metallurgy in newer or lower?ranked NITs and GFTIs through JoSAA/CSAB. You may also get non?core branches in some IIITs in later rounds. Fill all choices, including lower NITs and GFTIs, and focus strongly on CSAB special rounds. Also keep backup options through your state counselling (UP), AKTU?affiliated colleges, and good private engineering colleges. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Hi,Sir I have got 89.7 percentile could I get cse cyber security

Ans: Based on your score, expected CRL may be around 1.55–1.70 lakh, so Cyber Security/CSE-related branches in NITs/IIITs through JoSAA are very difficult for General/Open category. JoSAA official archives show that admissions are strictly based on opening/closing ranks, and CSE-related branches usually close much earlier.

You may still fill choices for IIIT Kottayam Cyber Security, IIIT Bhagalpur, IIIT Una, IIIT Kalyani, IIIT Dharwad, IIIT Nagpur, IIIT Bhopal, and lower GFTIs, but chances are low unless you have a category/home-state/female quota benefit or get a seat in CSAB special rounds. It is advisable to back up options of your State Counselling & 4-5 reputed private engineering colleges for Cybersecurity instead of relying only on JoSAA. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Hello sir could you tell me about general engineering at IIT mandi? How are the curriculum and placements? I am not sure which branch of engineering to choose, so this program seems exciting to me.

Ans: IIT Mandi General Engineering is a good option if you are genuinely undecided. It gives broad exposure in the first two years to Mechanical, Civil, Data Science and Computer Science, then allows specialisations such as Energy Engineering, Advanced Manufacturing, e-Mobility, AI & Robotics, product design, animation/fashion-tech, etc. IIT Mandi also mentions possible one-year exposure at partner institutes/industry.

Placement data is still evolving because this is a new 2023 programme, so branch-wise placement proof is limited. Choose it for flexibility + IIT tag, not for guaranteed CSE-like placements. It suits students who like interdisciplinary engineering, design, robotics, mobility, manufacturing or entrepreneurship. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Hi sir my son got 99.3 percentile and his rank is 9876. In which nit and iiit will he get a seat and also can you please tell nit is better than iiit or iiit is better than nit. Is it better to take chemical in nit trichy than Ai ml in iiit Lucknow

Ans: He has a good chance of admission to NITs/IIITs. Both top NITs and IIITs have strong records. NITs offer broader campus life and a wider range of branches, while IIITs provide stronger, more focused CS/AI exposure. Neither is universally “better”; prefer AI/ML at IIIT Lucknow over Chemical at NIT Trichy if his interest is in CS/AI and future studies in that field.

Good luck.
