My son is a third year engineering (EEE) from Bangalore. He is a bright child but his CGPA is quite low and as of now, he says he doesn't not want to pursue this field for masters. Earlier, the plan was to do Masters in US but the slump in IT has made us rethink that option. What are his career options? Will it possible to get into good colleges with a CGPA below 8.

Ans: Does he want a great career? I would sincerely request you to talk to your son and understand his career aspirations

MBA is not the only choice.

What are his passions? Was he interested in ECE Engg in the first place?

Ans: Hello,

To begin with, thank you for contacting us. I am happy to hear that you are currently pursuing the 3rd year of your Bachelor’s of Technology (B.Tech) degree in Mechanical Engineering. As an answer to your query, I would like to tell you that although your CGPA will be low, in order to guarantee a thriving career, you have a few options that you can take into consideration. Remember that each possibility has its own pros and cons.

Concerning your query as to whether you should attempt GATE and pursue a PSU job, I would like to tell you that GATE scores are frequently taken into account by PSUs during the hiring process. If you are keen on working in the public sector, then this is surely a good choice. I would suggest that concentrating on the particular prerequisites of the PSUs you are interested in, you study hard for the GATE. Next, considering if you should attempt GATE and pursue Master’s of Technology (M.Tech) at an IIT, I would like to say that this can be a wise decision particularly if you are dedicated to this field of study and have a keen interest in research or specialization. Remember, at a number of esteemed universities, to secure admissions to postgraduate courses, GATE scores are vital, and thus, I would suggest that you prepare well and strive to achieve a high GATE score. Also, make sure that your application throws light on your abilities and pertinent work experiences. Concerning your 3rd option i.e. to pursue Master’s in Germany, you would be happy to hear that a number of German universities offer English-taught programs, and thus, continuing your studies there would be a viable choice. The country is renowned for the robust engineering education it offers, and in comparison to a few other nations, the living expenses in Germany can be much cheaper. Despite having a low GPA, concentrate on drafting a strong application that outlines your abilities and experiences.

Remember, your hobbies, professional objectives, as well as your own circumstances play a key role in deciding the best fit. Think about what best resonates with your goals and work hard to get ready for the chosen course. I would also recommend that you engage in internships or projects in order to acquire hands-on experience, this can in turn, bolster your profile and boost your competitiveness in the labor market or for further studies.

Ans: Hello. To begin with, thanks for contacting us.
Going further with your question, as your son pursued a BE in IT, he has a wide range of specialisations to choose from in the IT field, like computer science, IT, data science, artificial intelligence, cyber security, etc., purely based on his interest in that specific area. He cannot do a direct PhD as he needs a journal, publication, thesis, etc. These will not be available regularly at the BE level. He can opt for a master's program and then progress to a PhD. His percentage is pretty good, and he can target the top-notch universities in the respective countries, provided he is okay with the budget of the reputed universities. percentage is pretty good, and he can target the top-notch universities in the respective countries, provided he is okay with the budget of the reputed universities.
