Career

I have been working professional in service for last 22 years. Have tried with one small scale manufacturing unit for around one year. To meet financial requirements, I started working full time job. I was satisfied with it initially. Once financial requirements were fulfilled, I started looking for some business oportunity. Since last 10 years am not able to find something I can dedicate my life to so am continuing my job half heartedly. How do I find somthing to do business.

Ans: Firstly, please evaluate why you want to do business? Do you have a business idea that you have full faith in and that you can execute? What is your financial backing and your risk appetite. There are pros and cons of doing a business and you have to give ot your all. it is certainly not a side hustle, that you can do with a job.

Take out some time to think over it, decide and take a plunge if you have to; else drop the idea and be happy in your job. In your current state, you will neither be happy in your job nor start a business.

Ans: Inder, Alliance University’s B.Tech CSE (IoT) program maintains a placement rate of around 85% over the past three years, with an average package of approximately 7.6 LPA and top offers in IoT, full-stack development, and data analytics. The dedicated placement cell partners with over 500 recruiters—such as Bosch, Wipro, and Infosys—conducting regular workshops on embedded systems, cloud computing, and cybersecurity. Industry-aligned labs equipped with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and AWS platforms support hands-on learning, while experienced faculty publish research in IoT and AI. The campus fosters innovation through hackathons, maker labs, and incubation centers. To stand out in placements, you should build strong coding skills in C/C++, Python, and JavaScript, master data structures and algorithms, and gain proficiency in IoT protocols (MQTT, CoAP). Developing soft skills—effective communication, teamwork, and problem-solving aptitude—enhances employability. Internships with startups or R&D projects strengthen real-world experience, while certifications in cloud platforms and machine learning demonstrate commitment to continuous learning.

Recommendation: Focus on Alliance University’s CSE (IoT) program, leveraging its above-average placement ecosystem, industry-driven curriculum, and practical labs, while cultivating coding expertise, IoT know-how, and soft skills to maximize campus and off-campus placement opportunities. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

My daughter got wbjee rank 18265&sc rank1524 is it possible CSE/ELECTRICAL Any government college.She also got Geology at,BHU .Sir, which will be better.Her neet rank SC 18000
Ans: Dilip Sir, With a WBJEE state rank of 18,265 and SC rank of 1,524, securing Computer Science or Electrical Engineering in top West Bengal government colleges is challenging but selective options remain. Among state institutions, Bengal Engineering and Science University Shibpur (IIEST) and Kalyani Government Engineering College typically close SC category cutoffs for CSE near 2,500–3,500 and for Electrical around 3,000–4,000, making your daughter’s rank a borderline candidate for lower-demand branches. Jalpaiguri Government Engineering College and Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology campuses often admit SC students in Electrical Engineering up to rank 2,000–2,500. Additional possibilities include Govt. College of Engineering & Leather Technology for Electrical and Govt. College of Engineering & Ceramic Technology for core branches, where SC cutoffs extend to 3,500–4,000. These colleges boast accredited programs, experienced faculty, standard labs, active placement cells with 70–80% placement rates, industry linkages, and student support services. Conversely, Geology at Banaras Hindu University offers a prestigious national platform with a dedicated department, field-based learning, strong research culture, and placement support through campus recruitment and government research organizations. While engineering yields broader software and core sector career pathways, geology at BHU leads to specialized roles in mineral exploration, environmental consultancy, and academia. Considering long-term career interests, job market trends, and campus environment, her engineering prospects in West Bengal government colleges appear limited to non-CSE branches, whereas BHU Geology guarantees admission at a premier institution with robust academic and research credentials.

Recommendation: Accept Geology at BHU for assured admission, rich academic exposure, and research opportunities, as state engineering seats in CSE/Electrical are unlikely; pursue engineering through private or lateral-entry options later if passion for core engineering persists. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

I got 97.2 tile in mhtcet till now vit pune cutoff for cse and related branches ar 97.8 to 98.8 so can i get it in spot rounds and also tell me more good cet college at my percentile i am genral from maharashtra
Ans: With a 97.2 percentile in MHT-CET as a General category student from Maharashtra, getting CSE at VIT Pune in spot rounds is unlikely since the regular CSE cutoff typically ranges between 98.8-99+ percentiles for General category. However, alternative branches like Information Technology (97-98 percentile), AI & Data Science (97.5-98.5 percentile), or Electronics & Telecommunication (95-97 percentile) at VIT Pune remain viable options. Your percentile opens doors to excellent colleges including PICT Pune for non-core branches, PCCOE Pune for CSE/IT, MIT Pune for various branches, DY Patil Pune, Sinhgad Institute of Technology, JSPM Pune, AISSMS College of Engineering, and Zeal College of Engineering. These institutions maintain strong industry connections, modern infrastructure, experienced faculty, robust placement cells, and comprehensive student support systems. Government colleges like COEP Pune for Civil/Mechanical Engineering, VJTI Mumbai for non-CSE branches, or SPCE Mumbai also become accessible. Private colleges, such as Ramrao Adik Institute of Technology, Thakur College of Engineering, and various Sinhgad colleges, offer quality education with decent placement records exceeding 75–80%. Since VIT Pune spot rounds typically accommodate withdrawals rather than offering new seats, focusing on confirmed admissions through regular counselling rounds proves more strategic.

Recommendation: Secure admission at PICT Pune, PCCOE, or MIT Pune through regular rounds rather than waiting for uncertain VIT Pune CSE spot opportunities. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!
