Hello sir, I am 34 years old and I want good job in MNC IT company with decent high salary package around 1 cr annual. Currently I am working in startup company with annual salary package 5.5 lakh. I have completed BCA and MCA with correspondence. For achieving growth in short time, I wanted to pursue MTech in computer science from IIT. Can I get placed in top reputed company after completing MTech from IIT. Please guide me in this regard.

Ans: Yes you can get placed in top reputed company after completing MTech from IIT. But it may not be easy. You will have to secure admission into one of the top IITs. Out there you will have to perform exceptionally well in academics and in field that is relevant to what is required for by top companies. You may have to take part and perform well in some of the inter college events like Hackathon at National . International level. Even then getting a package of Rs. 1 cr may be possible but not easy.

Sir, What shall be chosen B Tech CSE with DS at SRM KTR or Btech IT at JIIT Noida

Ans: Both are good options. SRM is more crowded and costly than JIIT. Choose SRM for maximum placement potential and JIIT for value and location preference. As an aside, prefer CSE+DS @ SRM KTR if possible.

I got 2300 OBC RANK IN JEE B ARCH.BUT MY 12 PERCENTAGE IS 73.5.CAN I APPLY FOR JOSAA OR WAIT FOR MY IMPROVME NT RESULT THEN APPLY FOR CSAP. One more answer whether the result of improvement come before CSAP counselling ,

Ans: You can apply for JoSAA now, but for CSAB, you should wait for improvement results if they can raise your 75% eligibility, because CSAB eligibility requires meeting criteria. Improvement results usually come before CSAB rounds, but timing is not guaranteed, so plan cautiously. It is better to explore other options from a safer point of view.
