Sir I have took 1st drop and doesnot able to clear jee then I took partial drop by joining in state college and achieved jee maiins with 99.25% percentile and got seat in nit nagpur now shall I continue my btech in state college or leave the college and go for nit nagpur and the gap years will be two.Will this 2 year gap will effect placements or not? Sir suggest me what to do ? And another one of my frnd is also in same situation but he got nit warangal cse after one drop and 2nd is partial drop please give answer for these two questions sir?

Ans: Manoj, you have not mentioned the name of State College & the stream you joined. If the State College is reputed with good placement records, better to continue with it. You have correctly raised a doubt that a 2-year gap might affect placements, as some companies (NOT all) do not prefer those students, which I came to know from some BTech Students.

If you are performing well currently and confident over placements in your 4th year, it is better to continue there. Keep upgrading your skills & have a good/professional looking LinkedIn Profile/update it. All the BEST for Your Bright Future.

Gurunanak Hyderabad and the branch is csc but i dont know about the placements I think the placements are not bad and not good
Ans: Gurunanak-Hyderbad has a placement record of approximately 75%, which is not bad. Second, according to a recent report/article in 'The Times of India', approximately 30% of IIT students could not get placed last year. There are several factors, including the stream, the number of core companies visited, the student's level of academic performance, a lack of certifications or skill upgrades, a lack of co/extracurricular activities, and so on.

You can be one of the 75% placements in Gurunanak if you consistently maintain good academic performance/SGPA/CGPA (as you have scored 99.25% in JEE, which is not very easy, this will not be a problem), upgrade your skills through NPTEL, Coursera, LinkedIn, Internshala, etc., and/or recommended by your CS Department's faculties. Participate in co-/extracurricular activities, continue to investigate job market trends on LinkedIn and other job portals, complete internships, and prepare thoroughly for college recruitment; landing a job on or off campus will not be an issue for you.

Relationship
Dear Madam, I am 42 years old and have accumulated over 15 years of experience across various roles, including operations, report writing, quality management, and business development. Before the onset of COVID-19, I worked in an office environment and had a job that required travel, which I thoroughly enjoyed as it allowed me to engage face-to-face with people and discover new places. Since the pandemic, I have transitioned to working from home, where I have been compensated well. This arrangement has allowed me to spend quality time with my family, enjoy flexibility in my work schedule, and significantly reduce my commute. However, over the past 4-5 years, I have found myself increasingly disliking remote meetings. I often experience anxiety before these meetings, even when I am not directly participating. I feel a sense of relief when meetings are canceled or on days when I have none scheduled. I understand that remote work and virtual meetings are likely to be a lasting trend, and I would appreciate your guidance on how to overcome my disinterest in attending these remote team meetings. Thank you for your support.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Many people have disliked the 'work from home' option that involves a lot of virtual interface. But do remind yourself: What is the need of the hour? There are a lot of things that you may dislike as eating options but you do anyway knowing that they are good for health, right?
When you start obsessing over something that you don't want, it makes it bigger in your mind to tolerate and that can cause you a lot of struggle. So, why not instead find ways of dealing with the inevitable?
How can you make things better for yourself when you have virtual meets and presentations? What are the advantages/perks of doing these virtually? When you start to look at the brighter side of things, the disinterest kind of starts to fade away and it makes it easier for you to be a part of what your work demands.

All the best!

Asked by Anonymous - Mar 13, 2025
I had a 2 years relationship with a girl. Last year she left me for another guy and gave him her virginity and got pregnant. After getting abortion that guy left her. Now she came back to me and talked to me for about 2 months just as friends but i loved her so much that i forgave her and accepted her and we got in relationship. But one night she told me about all her past with her 2nd boyfriend. Now i don't want to keep relationship as her past makes me shiver and i promised her for marriage but i can't get over the fact that she cheated me and lost virginity to another guy then came back and wants me to marry her. So if i am not sure of marriage should i involve in physical activities with her ( we never envolved in physical activities before ) or should i avoid doing that until i am sure of marrying her.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
You are not even sure whether you want to accept her past with the other guy. If you have not made peace with this, why talk of marriage and indulging in physical stuff with her? It's not her this time; it's YOU!
So, take a break from this association, clear your mind space on what you want from life and a life partner. If she is the person you know that fits the description, then perhaps the past will not matter. Mere love is not enough, what you value in a relationship is in question now...so, take time to think i through and then make a decision on it.

All the best!
