Thanku sir for your guidance, but as the schedule was becoming hectic so my mind was diverting me to take small certification courses offered by various other reputed institute on udemy and coursera platforms.

Ans: Thanks for contacting me again.
Naturally, the mind is diverted because of too much hectic schedule of B.Tech. CSE and above that again regular course for M.Tech. But to build and shape the carer, you have to spend the time properly. But there is no harm in joining certification courses offered by the reputed institutes you mentioned. Many working/tech professionals are always eager to learn something new, hence join these institutions for diversified knowledge and get certificates.
Best of luck for your upcoming future.

If you are dissatisfied with the reply, please ask again without hesitation.

I have completed mca and 12 yrs of IT experience, can I do the PHD . If yes then what is pros & cons?

Ans: Pursuing a Ph.D. after completing an MCA (Master of Computer Applications) and 12 years of IT experience can offer significant benefits to your research journey. Eligibility for Ph.D. admissions is equivalent to a postgraduate degree, and you may need to pass entrance exams and clear an interview process. A Ph.D. can open doors to academia, research roles, or R&D positions, establishing you as an authority or thought leader in a specialized area. It also offers opportunities in teaching and academia, research and innovation, and networking and collaborations. However, it requires time commitment, financial constraints, stress and workload, limited immediate ROI in industry, opportunity cost, and a narrow career path.

To decide if a Ph.D. is the right choice for you, consider factors such as passion for research and innovation, aspire to shift to academia or R&D roles, add credibility and authority in your field, and have a clear research area in mind. Alternative paths include certifications, an Executive MBA, or specialized research certifications. All The BEST for Your Prosperous Future.

My daughter is getting computer science in Thapar and computer science core in Vit Chennai category 2, which should we give preference to? She also got 115 marks in Manipal Exam. We live in Delhi

Ans: For computer science, Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology (TIET) is generally considered a better option than VIT Chennai, especially if the VIT Chennai admission is in Category 2. Thapar has a stronger reputation, better alumni network, and potentially higher placement opportunities, especially for core computer science. While VIT Chennai is a good institution, Thapar's legacy and strong placement records may offer a more advantageous career path.
