Sir, which engineering has better chances of getting government of India jobs, is it mechanical or electrical engineering. Or electronics. Also, is Masters required for the same. Which exams should be written for government posting Thank you

Ans: When it comes to securing government jobs in India, Electrical Engineering generally offers more opportunities than Mechanical or Electronics Engineering, especially in core engineering roles across various public sector undertakings (PSUs) and government organizations. Government Exams: GATE: For recruitment in PSUs like NTPC, BHEL, Power Grid, etc. Indian Engineering Services (IES/ESE), State Electricity Boards, Railway Recruitment Board (RRB).
For most government jobs in engineering, a Master's degree is not required but in DRDO, ISRO, BARC A Master's (M.Tech/M.E.) can be beneficial or sometimes required for research-oriented positions or specialized technical roles.
For faculty positions Master's degree is a must. Sometimes PhD is required

Hello,I have completed my graduation in Electronics and communication engineering this year 2024.Now I am confused of my career should I prepare for govt exam or do masters.

Ans: Govt. exam can be an option, but to get a Govt. job is tough. Whereas if you go for Masters then there is guarantee of the updating of your Bio-Data. But if you don't go for research or teaching there is no need of Master Degree. Better go for a job and pursue an online MBA from a good University. Best of luck. Just follow me.

Dear Sir, I have taken admission in PES RR AIML via JEE Mains route but I wish to contest through the KEA KCET route as well. I am expecting that I will get either PES EC AIML or PES EC CSE in Round 2 in KEA KCET too. PES has given a deadline of surrendering the JEE Mains seat by 7th July. However, the catch is that I don't think the KEA Round 2 counselling will happen before that and unfortunately I cannot surrender the seat before Round 2 which will happen after 7th July. Based on your past experience, do you really think PES will really forfeit the first year fee of 5 lakh as they keep saying it is Management discretion whether to offer refund or not. Any guidance provided will be much appreciated. Thank you.

Ans: Hello dear.
I'm sorry to say that we don't have any updates regarding the admission cancellation and fee refund policy of any private institute. It would be better to speak in person with the admission committee for the latest updates. If the terms and conditions are favorable, then proceed with the admission; otherwise, reconsider your admission decision. If you are certain that you may secure a seat via KEA KCET, then there is no need to worry about PES admission cancellation. Wait for a few days and then make your final decision.
Best of luck.

Question by Ranjit - Jun 17, 2025

Career

My daughter got 89.86 percentile in MHT CET. Any changes to get CSE in COEP, PICT, VJTI, SPIT in SC category. or Chemical Engg. in ICT. Actually, she is interested in Aerospace Engg. and Petrochemical Engg. but unfortunately, no colleges for these courses in Maharashtra

Ans: Hello Ranjit
The chances of securing a seat in the mentioned colleges are moderate to slim. It may be advisable to consider the CSE or chemical branch to explore additional options. In tier 2 or 3 colleges, your daughter might gain admission to CSE or computer-related branches. You can also pursue management quota for CSE in a reputable private college if she is genuinely interested in that field. Additionally, you will need to leave Maharashtra for Aerospace and Petro Engineering.
Best of luck.

Dear Sir, We are from Mumbai & fall in general category. My son has scored 99.1755006 percentile in MHTCET. He wants to study CSE for his BTech. What are the chances to get a seat in either VJTI or COEP or SPIT. In addition he has already secured a seat in VIT for CSE core in Chennai campus under Category 2. If we get seat in either of the above 3 colleges, should we prefer them over VIT. We are also participating in Josaa rounds but expect a little chance as JEE CRL was 63337 & Adance rank was 25656. He is also trying in Bitsat 2nd attempt. Kindly guide as we are getting confused. Also, please let me know if domicile certificate is mandatory to take admission in Maharashtra colleges as my son does not have it. However, I am having my domicile based on which my daughter took admussion for BArch in Mumbai college in 2019.

Ans: Hello dear.
(1) The chances are strong of getting CSE in one of the mentioned colleges, i.e., COEP, VJTI, and SPIT.
(2) Consider dropping VIT if your son secures a seat in one of the mentioned colleges.
(3) With the mentioned JEE rank, the chances of admission to NITs or IITs are moderate to slim.
(4) Wait for the BITSAT second attempt result. If it turns out positive with a high percentile, then the BITSAT option will be available to your son.
(5) If your son does not have a domicile certificate, then it is required for admission. If you have it, then it is sufficient.
Best of luck.

We can't suggest the names of colleges here on this platform. However, with your mentioned score, your chances for CSE in Bangalore-based colleges are moderate to slim. ECE is a viable option.

I have given pcm cet exam but don't get my percentile as I thought but I am really not expecting that much lower percentile what to do now

Ans: Hello dear.
There was no harm in sharing the actual percentile with us. The term "low" does not clearly indicate how low it is. Even with a low percentile, one can secure a seat in a reputed college via management or NRI quota. It would be better to pursue this option instead of considering a gap year. You can also explore different career paths at this stage since many options are available. You might consider B.Sc. or commerce options as well. Please speak in person with a counselor for proper guidance.
Best of luck to you.

Career

I am doing 1st year cse at bennett university i gave jee mains again and cleared it got dsai at thapar should i take it or continue with bennett

Ans: Ahaan, Continuing CSE at Bennett University offers a curriculum with minors, honours, and two internships, but yields around 60–70% placement rates over the past three years, with average recruitments by 232 companies. Thapar’s BTech in Data Science & Artificial Intelligence, ranked #29 in NIRF engineering, achieves about 83% UG placement consistency, over 334 recruiters annually, and average placements around 83% for its specialised AI & ML cohort. Thapar provides focused AI curricula, dedicated labs, and robust core-industry hiring, whereas Bennett’s broader CSE programme ensures diverse software opportunities. Recommendation: Transition to Thapar DSAI for specialised AI expertise and higher placement density, unless continuity at Bennett aligns better with your current projects and peer network. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
