Sir I have taken admission in btech biotech, so now for higher degree i have to appear in GATE exam so from which year would be the correct time to start my preparation, and what are the other entrance exam i can write to apply for my higher studies in biotech field.pls suggest

Ans: Start preparing slowly from 3rd year-end. Entrance Exams you can try: GATE, CUET-PG, BHU-PET, JIPMER M.Sc. Entrance Exam, TIFR GS (Tata Institute of Fundamental Research Graduate School Admissions), AIIMS M.Sc. Entrance Exam, IIT JAM (Joint Admission Test for M.Sc.), JNU CEEB (Jawaharlal Nehru University Combined Entrance Examination for Biotechnology) OR if your parents can afford, better to try for Masters ABROAD. However, it is advisable to conduct a thorough research for 3-6 months to shortlist the most suitable countries / colleges / courses for her Masters and then approach any Professional Abroad Education Consultants. Some of the factors which you should consider for her Masters abroad are (1) Cost of Living & Cost of Education (2) University QS Ranking (3) Course Curriculum (4) Research Opportunities (5) Climate (6) Safety (7) Immigration & Visa Policies (8) Job Opportunities (9) Campus Placement (10) Work Permit & Permanent Residency Option (11) Internship Availability (12) Application Process & Deadlines & (13) Return on Investment (which also depends upon your daughter's self-motivation & dedication in Academics & co/extra-curricular activities).

Hello , i am currently pursuing btech biotechnology and it is going to be completed in couple of months. I want to do masters in biotechnology from India only but the problem is currently i have only decided to go for masters meanwhile all the entrance exam related to it were over, now should i wait for next to give exam or take admission in this year only, and the irony is top colleges students are not being placed so this year and biotech field i think has less scope in India so now what should i do ?

Ans: Thank you for getting in touch with me on Rediff Gurus. This decision can indeed be challenging, especially considering the timing of entrance exams and the current state of job placements in the field. You should start evaluating the available options for pursuing a master's degree in biotechnology in India and researching different universities, their admission processes, and the feasibility of securing admission this year versus waiting for the next cycle of entrance exams. You should also consider factors such as program reputation, faculty expertise, curriculum, and placement opportunities.

But if you decide to wait for the next cycle of entrance exams, consider utilizing the gap year productively by exploring opportunities for internships, research projects, skill development courses, or work experience in the biotechnology field. Building relevant experience and skills during this time can enhance your profile and increase your competitiveness for master's programs and future job opportunities. Ultimately, the decision to wait for the next cycle of entrance exams or pursue admission this year depends on your individual circumstances, preferences, and career objectives. Take the time to weigh your options carefully, gather relevant information, and make a decision that aligns with your long-term career goals and aspirations in the biotechnology field.

Hello sir. My son scored 96.65 percentile in MH CET, 88.60 in JEE mains, and in the HSC exam he scored 78.90% can he get the reputed engineering college in Pune for computer science? My another question is what is the scope in India for Astro physics? He is much interested in this course

Ans: Yes he can get CSE, but not in COEP. For Astro Physics certainly there is scope in India. Does he know something about it or only obsessed with the name. Children are mainly obsessed about the exceptional branches like Astro Physics, Cyber Security and Genetic Engineering. These names attract them only. Ask him why he is interested in ASTRO PHYSICS. I am giving my LINKEDIN details. Let him explain to me who does he want ASTRO PHYSICS. Best of luck. I am always there by the side of the children who need counselling. May GOD bless always.

Hi sir got '2825' rank in SRM Phase 2 2025 .Can I get CSE core in KTR main campus Or I should go for CSE specialization with AI ML / DATA SCIENCE And what is cutoff in KTR main branch

Ans: For SRM KTR (main campus), CSE Core typically closes around 2,000 rank, and specializations around 6,000–8,000, so SRM AP is a more realistic option at your rank. You may also consider other SRM campuses like Ramapuram or NCR where cutoffs extend higher.

Comedk 23670 will i get cse in top 10

Ans: With a COMEDK rank of 23670, it's unlikely you'll get CSE in the top 10 colleges. Top 10 colleges typically have cutoffs below 4000. While you might find some good colleges in the 10-15 range, securing CSE in the very top tier is challenging with your rank.
