Question by Shikhar on Aug 26, 2024Hindi

Career

Which country is easy to get fully funded phd, my ward is looking for fully funded phd in chemistry

Ans: Hi Shikhar...For a fully funded PhD in Chemistry, countries like Germany, the United States, and the United Kingdom are among the most accessible and favorable options. Germany is particularly attractive due to its strong emphasis on research, minimal or no tuition fees, and a high number of fully funded PhD positions offered through universities or research institutions like the Max Planck Society. The United States also offers numerous fully funded PhD programs in Chemistry, often including tuition waivers, stipends, and research assistantships, but competition can be intense. The UK provides several funding opportunities through scholarships like the Commonwealth Scholarship, university-specific funding, and research council grants, although it is crucial to consider living costs. Each country has its own application processes and requirements, so it’s essential to research specific programs and identify those that align with your ward's academic background and research interests.

Question by Dinesh - May 05, 2026Hindi

Career

Sir,my self D.Durga dinesh I got CRL rank-86989 and OBC NCL rank -27k and i checked the IIITs in csab and I saw iiit dharawad which is DSAI last round closing rank is -86797 which is difference is 192 ranks only Can I get IIIT Dharawad DSAI there? And I checked DSAI 2024 closing rank which is 81K something in previous year it is increased about 5000 rank .In this year can I get DSAI? . Sir, please tell about DSAI course in IIIT dharawad which is good? And I saw cse branch closing rank in 2025 is 83k something and in 2024 is 74k nearly in last rounds .when this year also rank increases and get upto my rank . which branch should I choose CSE or DSAI .iam very confusing about this. Please answer my reply sir .iam waiting for your reply .

Ans: Durga Dinesh, With CRL 86,989 and OBC-NCL rank around 27,000, IIIT Dharwad DSAI through CSAB 2026 is possible but not guaranteed. Your observation is correct: 2025 CSAB Special Round closing for DSAI OBC-NCL was around CRL 86,797, so you are only about 192 ranks away. Since cutoffs can shift by a few hundred or few thousand depending on vacancies, withdrawals, and choice filling, you should definitely participate in CSAB and keep DSAI above lower-preference branches. CSAB officially publishes special-round opening/closing ranks after JoSAA vacancy rounds. Between CSE and DSAI, choose CSE first if available, because it is broader and keeps options open in software, AI, data, cybersecurity, and higher studies. Choose DSAI next because IIIT Dharwad’s curriculum includes data science/AI-focused learning and the institute reports decent placement figures, though 2025 data is still ongoing.

So your choice order can be CSE > DSAI > ECE at IIIT Dharwad. Also fill IIIT Kottayam/Kurnool/Ranchi/Una/Nagpur lower branches as backups along with 4-5 reputed Private Engineering Colleges as backup options.

Please note, success in any career depends less on the degree itself and more on how you invest your time. Focus on honing technical, communication, presentation, and leadership skills. Build a strong professional profile through projects and internships, actively network with alumni and industry experts, and maintain visibility on platforms like LinkedIn. Additionally, developing emotional intelligence (EQ) is crucial to navigate your career path with confidence. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Question by Sachin - May 05, 2026Hindi

Career

Dear Sir, My son rank is 41000 in jee mains and DA-IICT has launched two BS - MS Dual program in IT and second in AI and Data science. What are chances to get this course ? What is the scope of this course? In can see now in job portals trend is changing and companies only ask for Bachelors/Master degree and need to focus on skills. Is it a good option?

Ans: Sachin Sir, At a CRL rank of 41,000, securing a seat in DA-IICT’s regular B.Tech programs is unlikely, as recent closing ranks for ICT, MnC, and VLSI are much higher. However, the institute’s newly launched 5-year BS–MS Dual Degree programs in IT and Data Science & AI offer a more realistic alternative. These programs admit students based on JEE Main Mathematics percentile or CUET scores, not overall CRL, and since 2026 is their first admission cycle, competition may be less intense.

This 5-year, 200-credit curriculum is ideal if your son is passionate about coding, AI, data science, cybersecurity, or research-oriented tech careers—provided the fee structure and longer commitment are manageable. It’s also wise to keep several reliable backup options rather than relying solely on DA-IICT.

Ultimately, success depends less on the degree and more on how your son invests his time: honing technical and communication skills, building a professional profile through projects/internships, networking with alumni and industry experts, maintaining visibility on platforms like LinkedIn, and developing emotional intelligence to confidently navigate his career path. All the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Sir i have got a call letter from iit madras online bs data science course can you tell me the future of this program

Ans: While the IIT Madras BS in Data Science is a government-recognized, UGC-entitled degree, it is highly recommended to pursue it alongside a regular, on-campus undergraduate degree. A traditional, physical campus experience provides essential components that an online program inherently lacks: professional networking, holistic skill development, and versatility. A core campus degree (like B.Tech, B.Sc., or B.Com) combined with the IITM BS provides a powerful "hybrid" profile, showcasing both disciplinary depth and specialized technical expertise. The IITM program is specifically designed for this flexibility. Many students leverage it as a "value-add" qualification, significantly enhancing their employability by stacking high-demand data science skills onto their primary foundational degree. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Career

My son avail OBC rank in jee mains 181542 to possible for government college

Ans: Sahadev Sir, With OBC-NCL rank around 181,452, chances through JoSAA for NITs/IIITs are almost nil, because even lower-demand branches usually close far earlier. For GFTIs, chances are also very low in JoSAA, but he should still fill maximum choices, especially lower-demand branches like Civil, Mechanical, Food/Agriculture-related branches, and less popular GFTIs. The better chance may come in CSAB Special Rounds, which fill vacant seats after JoSAA. It is also advisable to have 4-5 backups of Private Engineering Colleges apart from your son's State Counselling, instead of relying only on JoSAA/CSAB. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!
