I am a third year Btech student from Chennai, I read about the Oracle layoffs and it's making me and my batchmates all anxious. Will this impact campus placements, fresher hiring, and job opportunities in India? What should I focus on right now to stay relevant and improve my chances of getting a stable job next year?

Ans: You are right. According to today's (1st April 2026) Times of India's News, 'Oracle has started notifying employees about thousands of job cuts as the tech major (ORACLE) navigates pressures arising from aggressive expansion into AI data centre infrastructure. Some reports suggested that up to 12,000 jobs in India could be affected, though this could not be independently verified'. Times of India had even sent an email to ORACLE but did not get any response from it till now. To answer your question (you didn't mention your BTech branch), since you're in 3rd year, make a list of companies that visited your college in the last 2-3 years, including 2025-26. Shortlist those with the best job chances.

Connect with alumni or recently placed students on LinkedIn for company feedback.

Keep building technical skills and soft skills like communication, presentation, and teamwork. Recruiters now want both good grades/tech skills AND these to boost your placement odds next year. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Question by Swagato - Feb 24, 2021Hindi

Career

Hello,I'm Swagato Ghose, 32, from Kolkata. During the pandemic and because of lockdown, I lost my job. I'm a marketing professional and worked for a print and packaging company based in Hyderabad.The situation is very difficult because, even after trying hard for the past two to three months, nothing positive is materialising.No organisations revert after the interview process and the salary offered during the interview time is negligible when compared to what I was getting before this lockdown happened.It's getting unbearable and I am on the verge of a nervous breakdown as the future seems absolutely uncertain.I'm badly looking for a decent opportunity, but there seems to be very little hope in these tough times as it looks like the recruitment has frozen in most of the good companies.I am really worried about the future and don't know how my professional career is going to shape up.How do I survive this phase?Thanks and regards,Swagato Ghose

Hey Swagato.

Hold on! Never give up as life is always full of ups and downs.

A job loss in the time of a global pandemic is not a result of your performance but due to the slowdown in the economy.

Things are now getting back to normal and most companies have started selective hiring.

This is the time to start reskilling in your area of work so that you have the right skill sets that companies are looking for in your field.

Keep yourself engaged with some freelance work or even charitable work.

Remain positive and healthy and close to your loved ones.

You have a bright future.

Question by Seema - May 09, 2026Hindi

Career

Sir i want to become a pharmacist and open my medical drug store ..i want to study pharmacy in delhi by doing d pharma for 2 yrs then do lateral entry in b pharm and then open my medical store in bihar Bhagalpur..kindly guide me on this sir if what i am planning is good or not as i have less knowledge on this.

Ans: HI SEEMA,
GREETINGS FROM REDIFFGURUS!

I wanted to discuss your plans regarding starting a pharmacy shop. Are you considering opening a pharmacy only, or do you have other ideas in mind?

If you wish to start a pharmacy shop right away, you can proceed with a D.Pharm degree, and after three years, you can pursue a B.Pharm (PRACTICE - 3YEAR COURSE) for further practice.

However, if you prefer to study for a B.Pharm degree first, you can decide to open a pharmacy shop after completing it. This way, there's no need to do a D.Pharm before pursuing a B.Pharm, but keep in mind that it may take you an additional one or two years. For example, if you enroll in a D.Pharm program and later enter B.Pharm through lateral entry, that could mean 2 years for D.Pharm, followed by 3 years of B.Pharm, plus 6 months for an internship.(Totally it becomes 5.5 years rather 4 years).

So, I suggest you consider going directly for the B.Pharm.

If you have any doubts, kindly do share.
