Madam, I want to switch the career in software HOW My age is 44 years I have 17 YEARS BANKING EXPERIENCE AND KNOW THE ORACLE, .NET, ASP.NET

Ans: In software you need to have updated knowledge. So have good certification course in AI & ML and before joining the course learn from YOU TUBE and UDEMY LEARNING MATERIALS FOR THREE MONTHS. Then join, complete and apply for jobs. Age can't be a factor. Best of luck. Professor,,,,,,,,,,,,:)

My ward got All India Rank 171092 (89%ile) (general male) in JEE Mains. From West Bengal. He is looking for Mechanical, Robotics, Mechatronics or other related branches with good education and prospects for abroad MS.
Ans: With a CRL around 1.71 lakh, as a General male from West Bengal Home State, getting Mechanical at IIEST Shibpur or NIT Durgapur through regular JoSAA is unrealistic since in 2024 IIEST Shibpur Mechanical (HS Open) closed at rank 34,075 and NIT Durgapur Mechanical (OS Open) at 26,917. Admission to IIITs is even less likely because most do not offer Mechanical-related branches and are more competitive. JoSAA’s (opening & closing ranks) archive is the best source to review 2022–2024 trends. More feasible options include CSAB Special Rounds, selected GFTIs, and some newer or lower-demand NIT core branches if vacancies arise, such as Mechanical or Production Engineering at NIT Agartala and Mechanical at BIT Mesra. For pursuing MS abroad, focus on Mechanical, Production, or Materials at the best institute available, then build a strong CGPA, project experience, skills in CAD, controls, robotics, internships, and research. Between college reputation and niche branch, college quality combined with academic performance matters more. Also consider WBJEE counseling and good private colleges as solid backup options instead of relying only on JoSAA/WBJEE. ALL the BEST for Your Ward's Prosperous Future!
