Why you are so biased to CSE and suggesting students to choose CSE engineering, students should pursue their career based on their interest and what will happen if all the students are opting for CSE, other branch students will have less intake eventually leads to closing of the department and I know that job opportunities after CSE are better with high pay other any branchs like ECE, EEE, Civil and Mech, Govt should provide job opportunities for core engineering graduates and make an minimum salary level to the IT field and India is a developing country which needs to excell in all fields, not only in IT, we should develop our country by infrastructure, manufacturing, research and development in all fields like processor, micro controller etc., so conclusion is choose the career based on your interest and future goals and developing our country.
Ans: I am suggesting CSE as per my knowledge and experience. It is up to them whether they will take my suggestion or not. I am only trying to help them. This is not a platform for argument. You make a strong point. Choosing a career based on personal interests and future goals is crucial, and diversity in engineering fields is essential for balanced national development. While CSE offers high-paying opportunities, other branches like ECE, EEE, Civil, and Mechanical also play vital roles in infrastructure, manufacturing, and research, which are crucial for a developing country like India. Encouraging a diverse range of engineering disciplines and providing support for core engineering graduates can help ensure balanced growth across various sectors.

I have passed my 12 in 2025 from up baord (67 percent ) marks but this is not enought for my JEE exam in this 75% marks is mandatory but i take drop for jee 2026 so can i do my 12 again in 2026 for fulfill the JEE criteria.... Some peoples say that ki improvment exam de sakte hu me next year and some says ki me privet candidate se bhi de sakte hu next year which is baest for me and dono me kya difference h kya process and eligibility hote h dono ki
Ans: Srishty, You can improve your 12th board percentage via UP Board’s improvement (compartment) exam or by registering as a private candidate to retake all subjects, both through the UPMSP portal from May 19 to June 10, 2025. Improvement exams allow re-attempting only failed subjects with a fee of ?306 per paper, whereas private candidature lets you re-enrol to redo the entire 12th course, requiring fresh registration, documentation, and ?4,000 board fee paid via demand draft to UP Board. Both routes reset your marks, but private candidature offers full?subject retake and hence higher scoring scope, while improvement exams are limited to maximum two or three failed subjects. For JEE Main/Advanced 2026 eligibility, you must secure ≥75% (general) or ≥65% (SC/ST) in Class 12 aggregate or top 20 percentile, and re-appearing privately gives full control over your board percentage. Recommendation: Opt for UP Board private candidature to re-take all subjects and maximize your chance of crossing the 75% threshold for JEE eligibility. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
