My son is in 9th class. I am planning for engineering from foreign University after 12th. Pls guide me the best country with financial considerations
Ans: Hello Rashmi,

First and foremost, thank you for getting in touch with us. I am happy to know that your son is currently studying in the 9th grade and further wishes to pursue engineering overseas post completing his 12th grade. To answer your question first, I would like to tell you that a number of variables, including the quality of education, living expenses, tuition costs, and possibility of scholarships, are entailed when planning for an engineering degree overseas for your son. To assisting you in deciding on the best country with monetary considerations, I would suggest that you go through the following:

Considering Germany, overseas students are charged minimal or no tuition fees by the majority of public universities. The cost of living in the country is moderate, ranging from €850-1,200 per month. The country offers outstanding education with a number of top-ranked engineering schools. Scholarships are available via DAAD and other organizations.

Coming to Australia, the tuition fees in the country are relatively high, ranging from AUD 25,000-45,000 annually. The cost of living is also high between AUD 1,500-2,500 monthly. With universities viz., the University of Sydney and the University of Melbourne, Australia offers an outstanding quality of education. Students can avail scholarships that are available via government and university programs.

Next, talking about Canada, the tuition fees in the country are higher than Germany, but relatively economical in comparison to the USA and the UK, between CAD 20,000-40,000 annually. Although it differs depending on the city, the cost of living ranges from approximately CAD 1,000-1,500 every month. Housing leading universities viz., the University of Toronto and the University of British Columbia, top-notch instruction is offered in the country. There are numerous scholarships offered to overseas students via different programs.

In Ireland, the tuition fees are moderate to high, ranging from €9,000-25,000 annually. The living expenses are high, ranging from €1,000-1,800 monthly. With universities viz., Trinity College Dublin, an excellent quality of education is offered. Overseas students can avail numerous scholarships.

Coming to Netherlands, the tuition fees are moderate, ranging from €6,000-15,000 annually for non-EU students. The living cost is similar to Germany, around €800-1,200 monthly. Housing prestigious universities viz., Delft University of Technology, the quality of education offered in the country is high. There are numerous scholarships available for overseas students.

Next, in Sweden, the cost of tuition is moderate, ranging from SEK 80,000-140,000 annually. The living expenses is high, between SEK 8,000-13,000 per month. Home to institutions viz., KTH Royal Institute of Technology, the quality of education offered is high. Scholarships are available via the Swedish Institute and other sources.

I would suggest that your son begins preparing beforehand, concentrating on academic achievement, extracurricular activities, and standardized tests viz., the SAT, ACT, TOEFL, or IELTS. He should investigate scholarships and other forms of monetary assistance in the countries he is considering. Make sure that your son fulfills the language prerequisites for the chosen country and university. Not just that, get acquainted with the application procedure and deadlines for each country.

Bear in mind that the Netherlands and Germany are frequently suggested for their economical tuition, superior education, and low cost of living. Despite its slightly higher expenditures, Canada is also a fantastic choice for those who prefer an English-speaking environment.

Below is my advice, please check if you find it helpful
Create a Structured Study Plan
Daily Routine: Ensure he follows a well-planned timetable covering all three subjects—Biology, Physics, and Chemistry—every day.

Balance Coaching & Self-Study: Coaching provides guidance, but self-study is where actual learning happens. He should revise daily what was taught in class.

Fixed Study Hours: At least 6-8 hours of effective self-study beyond coaching hours.

NCERT is key—revise line by line.
Make short notes for revision.
Diagrams & flowcharts for quick recall.
Solve MCQs from previous years and coaching materials.

Chemistry
Physical: Focus on formulas and problem-solving techniques.
Inorganic: Memorization is essential—use mnemonics and charts.
Organic: Understand reaction mechanisms, practice conversions, and focus on named reactions.

Physics
Strengthen concepts—don’t just memorize formulas.
Derivations help in understanding applications.
Solve numerical problems daily, especially from HC Verma, DC Pandey, or coaching materials.
Work on previous years’ NEET Physics questions.

Practice & Revision
Regular Tests: Take topic-wise, chapter-wise, and full-length mock tests.
Time Management: Solve NEET papers within 3 hours to simulate exam conditions.
Error Analysis: After every test, analyze mistakes and avoid repeating them.
Revision Strategy: Use the Feynman technique—explain concepts to yourself or someone else.

Mental & Physical Well-being
Avoid Burnout: Take short breaks
Healthy Lifestyle: Proper sleep (6-8 hours), exercise, and a balanced diet.
Stay Motivated: Have a vision board of goals, track progress, and maintain a positive mindset.

BIT Mesra CSE or NIT Raipur CSE what to choose?
Ans: Hi
Between BIT Mesra CSE and NIT Raipur CSE, here’s a comparison based on key factors:

1. Academics & Reputation:
BIT Mesra has a strong reputation for CSE, with a well-structured curriculum and good faculty.

NIT Raipur is an NIT, which holds a national-level prestige, but its CSE department is not as highly ranked as top-tier NITs.

2. Placements:
BIT Mesra CSE has excellent placements, with higher average and median packages compared to NIT Raipur. Top companies like Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Goldman Sachs visit the campus. The average package is around 18–20 LPA, and the highest goes above 50 LPA.

NIT Raipur CSE has decent placements, but the average package (8–10 LPA) is lower compared to BIT Mesra.

3. Campus & Infrastructure:
BIT Mesra has a better campus, labs, and infrastructure compared to NIT Raipur.

NIT Raipur is improving, but its facilities are still developing.

4. Alumni Network & Brand Value:
BIT Mesra has a strong alumni network with good industry connections, especially in tech.

NIT Raipur, being an NIT, offers the NIT tag, which helps for government job preferences but isn’t as strong in CSE placements compared to BIT Mesra.

5. Coding Culture & Competitions:
BIT Mesra has an excellent coding culture, with students excelling in ICPC and open-source projects.

NIT Raipur has an average coding culture, but motivated students can still do well.

Final Verdict:
Choose BIT Mesra CSE if your priority is better placements, infrastructure, and coding culture.
Choose NIT Raipur CSE if you strongly prefer the NIT tag and government job advantages.

Ans: Dear solar,
In sab ke beech, aapke girlfriend ka kya kehna hai? Woh aapne bataaya nahin. Kya woh apne parents ko tall sakegi aur kitni der kar paayegi? Kya woh aapke jon lagne tak intezzar karna chahti hai? Aisa lag raha hai ki is rishte ka wazan aap leke ghoom rake ho...thoda apne girlfriend ke saath baithkar plan kijiye taaki woh bhi aapke saath is samasya ka hal dhoond sake.
Ek baat toh hai ki uske parents ko manaana mushkil hoga aur jab tak aapki job nahin lagti woh is rishte ke liye raazi nahin honge. Toh plan yeh karna ki jab tak aapki naukri lage, tab tak aap dono is baat ko aur is samasaya ko aur uske parents ko kaise sambhalenge. Joh bhi ho saath mein milke plan karna.

All the best!
