My son is in 2nd semester of Diploma in Computer science engineering. After his 2nd semester exam, he will be having 2 months summer vacation holiday. Please suggest some short term courses which he can enroll online/ offline relating to his field, which would be helpful in his career?

Ans: Please give him a break even a computer needs to reboot after a long session, these 2 month's holidays are for him to rejuvenate and reactivate!?
Unless... you want a physical and mental burnout!?

Enroll him extracurricular activities, swimming, music, drama or even a Sumner Club... If you can't afford a decent holiday for the entire family... You too.. Need a break!

Question by Dipak - May 13, 2026Hindi

Career

If a candidate has passed Class 12 exams from CBSE in 2026 but wants to give improvement in 2027 for Physics, Chemistry and Maths, then whether the candidate needs to appear in the practical exam also for the three subjects next year or can he give the theory exam only? Secondly, whether the better marks out of the two will be considered?

Ans: Candidates usually have to appear for theory exams. Practical marks are generally carried forward unless CBSE or any board specifically asks otherwise, and improved marks are considered in the final marksheet. However, it is strongly recommended to contact your school administration for more updates, as the CBSE sends the latest circular only to them.

Good luck.

Hello sir I have viteee 2026 rank of 73700 please suggest me can i get cse with specialisations in any of the vit colleges and please mention the category also And also please tell can i get mechatronics or cse(ai and robotics) in vit chennai in any of the categories

Ans: Sahil, With VITEEE rank 73,700, VIT Vellore/Chennai CSE or CSE specialisations are highly unlikely, even in Category 5, because expected Chennai CSE specialisations usually close around 42,000–45,000, and Vellore even earlier. CSE AI & Robotics at VIT Chennai is also unlikely; expected Category 5 closing is around 43,500. However, Mechatronics/Automation at VIT Chennai is possible in Category 5, as 2025 trend estimates placed it around 95,500–96,500. For CSE-related options, try VIT-AP or VIT Bhopal CSE/CSE specialisations, likely in Category 3–5, since wider-access campuses show CSE closing trends up to about 90,000–95,000. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future!

My son has got14222 rank in aeee 2026, cse group in coimbatore chances

Ans: At AEEE 2026 rank 14,222, CSE core at Amrita Coimbatore is unlikely, especially under Other State quota. Available 2024 trend data shows Coimbatore CSE closed around 6,000 (Home State / 3,000 (Other State), and CSE specialisations around 7,000 (Home State) / 4,000 (Other State), so 14,222 is risky for Coimbatore CSE. Better backups are ECE/EEE/E&I at Coimbatore, or CSE/CSE-specialisation at Amritapuri, Bengaluru, Chennai, Amaravati, depending on slab and round movement. All the Best for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

*Subject: MIT Manipal vs Thapar vs LNMIIT for CSE – Worth the fees? Real placement & exposure check for 2026* Hi Gurus, I’m confused between MIT Manipal, Thapar Institute, and LNMIIT forB.Tech CSE. Looking for honest advice from seniors/alumni/experts. 1. *ROI*: All 3 have high fees 30L+. Is the brand name + placements actually worth spending this much in 2026 job market? 2. *Placements*: What’s the _real_ on-ground scene for CSE? Avg/median package, % placed in core tech roles, top recruiters. Not the official brochure stats. 3. *Exposure*: Internships, coding culture, hackathons, research, FAANG/big tech visits — which college gives better opportunities? 4. *Recession impact*: For 2026 batch, are companies still hiring aggressively from these campuses or is it mostly mass recruiters? 5. *Peer group*: Quality of students — does it push you to grow? If you were in my place today, which would you pick and why? Please share any hidd pros/cons I should know. Thanks

Ans: For a very long and complicated question, here is a short/concise reply from our side.

(1) Choose LNMIIT if your top priority is coding culture + ROI + placements.
(2) Choose Thapar if you want the safest overall balance of academics, brand, and opportunities.
(3) Choose MIT Manipal if you value exposure, flexibility, and holistic growth more than pure placement optimization.
(4) LNMIIT > Thapar > MIT Manipal

Good luck.
