Thankyou for your prompt revert sir. Sir, I know NMIMS is very much reputed for Management courses. But I am a bit sceptical about engineering courses there. Also we have very less knowledge about the engineering fields and prospects. Need 3 clarifications: 1) Is NMIMS Mumbai equally good for updated Btech courses,academics and good engineering placements? 2)If Location is not a factor, which one should be more preferred between VIT and NMIMS Mumbai? 3) Is choosing CSE specialisation over CSE core advisable?

Ans: Prefer CSE (Core) Sir as she can upgrade her knowledge later for any Specialization she is interested in and / or according the Job Market. No Issue. Prefer VIT over NMIMS.

Hi Sir, awaiting urgent revert to my query posted 3 days back. Reposting here with few added points. Request urgent revert as we need to take urgent decision, VIT orientation being in July and NMIMS admissions are closing this week. My query below: We are now in Mumbai. My daughter has got Core CSE Category 5 in VIT Chennai. Is NMIMS equally good for updated Btech courses,academics and good placements? My daughter is eligible for B.Tech Comp Sci and Engg (Data Science), B.Tech Comp Sci and Engg (Cyber Sec), B.Tech (Artificial Intel), B.Tech (Computer Science and Business Sys), B.Tech (Data Science) in Mumbai campus. They don't have core CSE in Mumbai campus. Fees are almost same in VIT Chennai and NMIMS. We are ready to relocate if needed and send her as Day Scholar to VIT chennai. Also she scored 83% in CBSE Boards, her MHTCET score is 89.5 and Comedk rank is 12593. But counselling is getting delayed, not yet started. If there is any possibility of getting in a good college with her scores which could be preferred over VIT chennai / NMIMS preferably CSE , please guide us accordingly. Location preferred is Maharashtra or Bangalore but do not wish to compromise on the best course for my daughter with regards to academics and future career. If needed, will relocate. Please let me know the options available and which course/institute should I go with and Why? Awaiting eagerly in Anticipation. Please advice
Ans: First let's understand the importance of Core CSE without specialization. The course equips you with all the science in depth that makes up the computer world. AI and NN are a creation of the masters of Core CSE.
Secondly, let's understand what specialized branches will offer. Here the focus is more on the subjects that leads you towards the understanding of the subject of specialization.
Looking at the employability aspect after graduation, is that AIML, Data Science and Cyber Security is on boom and a huge population is taking the course, so a percentage of graduates might be ending up with fairly paying jobs which are obviously purely application based. Very few would end up into the research area.
Development of computers is still in scope and lot of IT services jobs are related to core CSE.
Your daughter has scored 80+ which means she can do better in both Core CSE and CS with Specialization.
Placements of VIT Chennai is better so go for Core CSE. She will outperform and will have the opportunity to delve deep into Computer Science and Engineering per se. Hope she is a thinker and a philosophical person.

Ans: Nair Sir, you have mentioned your most preferred locations: MH or Bengaluru. Keeping in view these factors, order of preference (1) NMIMS-CS-AI (2) NMIMS-CS-Cyber Security (3) NMIMS-CSE-DS (4) NMIMS-DS (5) VIT-C-CSE. Honestly speaking, getting top-ranked / good college through COMEDK-12593 & MHTCET-89.5 for CSE will be difficult. (Or) alternately, you can can consider VIT-C-CSE (Core) (if your daughter's 1st preference is this) without relocating, but by putting your daughter in Hostel, as relocating to Chennai just 4-years will be a tough task and is not ideal Sir, according to me. All the BEST for your Daughter's Bright Future.

Hi, I m a CA & 49 years old now, have been in a PSB since 2008. I have been workaholic since inception & I thought why not I should quit & start my practice, which is my dream since I qualified as a CA. Due to economic conditions, I took employment & have been in Bank till now. I know for sure it will take at least 1 to 2 years to achieve break even. With this 15 years of PF & other retirement benefits would back me & my family till my income gets stabilised. Please suggest me.
Ans: You have mentioned you have been with PSB since 2008 i.e. for the last 16-years (from your age of 33-years. This is your 1st job or you used to work before 33-years of age? Secondly, you have not mentioned about your children, how many children you have? what they are studying now & what about their future education goals? In near future, what all financial obligations you have for your children's studies? You have additional qualifications / certifications related to CA after you joined PSB?

Where to set up your office? Finance Required to register your Firm & to meet other expenses? Life & Medical Insurance Coverage for you & for your family members? Please take time & think over all these factors. Once you are confident & have planned well, after taking into consideration these factors, you can go ahead.

Sir, My son is getting in Honour Maths in University of Waterloo, Electrical Engg in NUS Singapore. Here, In india he ia getting Civil in IIT Ghandhi nagar. Any suggestions?
Ans: Ronak Sir, (1) It is advisable to pursue Graduation in India and work for 2-3 years. (2) Or on the basis of his Academic Performance, His Interest, Co & Extra-curricular Activities, His Personality Traits & Soft Skills Development (during his BTech), you can decide for his Masters Abroad, after his Graduation. (3) Or he can work for 2-3 years and then think about Abroad Education. (4) Just to study abroad, some students / parents choose wrong Streams and spend a lot of money without knowing the job prospects there and / or blindly accept the admission, recommended by the Abroad Education Consultants / Firms (5) Before approaching any Abroad Education Consultant, it is always ideal to make a thorough Research (at least basic research) about the Abroad Universities / its QS Ranking / Job Prosects / Work Permit Rules etc. at the same time, keeping in view the Children's Interest / Personality Traits. (6) Regarding his Civil in IIT-Gandhi Nagar, I suggest not to accept the seat, only because he is getting confirmed admission UNLESS he is very much interested in Civil. (7) Please wait for some more rounds in JOSAA Counselling for any other Streams, he is interested in or prefers. (8) Or alternately, you can try to get admission through Management Quota (MQ ) with any one of the reputed / top-ranked College either in your State or anywhere in India you prefer. Donation / Yearly fees depends upon the College / Stream your son prefers / chooses. (9) If still abroad education is preferred by you / by your Son, you can go ahead with any one of the 2-options based on your preferences of Country / Location / University / Fees Structure / Stream. Ronak Sir, I have clarified your doubts. All the BEST for your Son's Bright Future.
