Ans: HI,
There will be an impact while appearing for the recruitment. When forwarding the resume, the recruiter will ask for details about any gaps. While filling out the application, you should mention that you did not have any gaps, but spent the time preparing for competitive exams.
They believe the gap is caused by failure in semester exams.
THIS IS SUFFICIENT.

Ans: Dhaksh, With an OC category rank of 16,894 in TG EAPCET, you have secured Computer Science and Business Systems (CSM) at Keshav Memorial Engineering College (KMEC) in phase 2, and are now considering options for phase 3, including CSE at Vidya Jyothi Institute of Technology (VJIT), as well as aspirational seats at IARE, CMRK, CVR, MGIT, VJIT, SNIST, and Anurag (all CSE and related specializations). Based on the official 2024 TG EAPCET closing ranks and highly regarded educational portals, your current rank is well outside the typical closing ranks for OC candidates in CSE at top-tier colleges: CVR (3,200–4,200), MGIT (3,412–3,417), IARE (well under 1,000), SNIST and Anurag (typically under 8,000 for CSE), and CMRK (usually closes by 17,000). VJIT’s CSE (core) closed at 22,455 and AI-ML/Data Science specializations closed between 20,423–21,363, making VJIT’s CSE the only program among your choices where your rank sits comfortably within range for both core and allied branches in phase 3. KMEC’s CSM course typically has closing ranks around 17,263–18,648 for OC, which fits your present allocation and gives the campus a competitive, yet supportive environment, with strong faculty, modern infrastructure, transparent placement processes, and good industry connections. Both KMEC and VJIT have consistently placed 70–90% of eligible students in reputable IT and core companies, with experienced faculty and ample campus facilities, though VJIT is consistently rated higher for core CSE in terms of peer crowd, coding culture, alumni base, research opportunities, and recruiter interest.

In summary, at a 16,894 OC rank, you are unlikely to secure CSE at IARE, CMRK, CVR, MGIT, SNIST, or Anurag (across specializations) as their closing ranks are much lower for OC. VJIT CSE remains open in the upcoming round and is a stronger academic and placement choice than KMEC CSM. Both KMEC and VJIT offer key advantages—NAAC accreditation, modern labs, industry-engaged faculty, active coding culture, and well-structured placement cells—but VJIT provides a more prominent academic environment and greater success for core CSE aspirations.

RECOMMENDATION: Among realistic options, VJIT CSE is the preferred choice as it aligns with your rank, offers better placements, stronger academic pedigree, and deeper industry linkages. You may retain KMEC CSM as a secondary option, but prioritize VJIT CSE (and allied specializations) for a more competitive peer group, robust campus experience, and long-term professional growth. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Ans: YMCA JC Bose University of Science & Technology, Faridabad, offers CSE with approximately 80% placement rates over the last three years, average packages around ?6.5 LPA, and recruiters including Amazon, Adobe, and Maruti Suzuki. Accredited by NAAC (‘A’), it provides solid labs, a central library, and a supportive faculty with strong industry linkages via its alumni network. Jaypee Institute of Information Technology, Noida, delivers a 90%+ CSE placement rate, median packages near ?7.9 LPA, and top recruiters like Microsoft, LinkedIn, and Cisco. It features state-of-the-art infrastructure, AICTE/UGC approval, research-focused faculty, and a proactive placement cell that hosts 260+ companies annually. Both institutes ensure quality education, but Jaypee Noida’s higher placement consistency, broader recruiter base, and advanced research environment give it an edge for CSE aspirants seeking robust career outcomes.

RECOMMENDATION: For those aiming for top-tier CSE prospects, Jaypee Institute of Information Technology Noida is the stronger option due to its superior placement rates, extensive industry partnerships, and cutting-edge infrastructure. YMCA Faridabad CSE offers a solid environment and quality education, but Jaypee provides a more comprehensive pathway to success. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand that you are in a sensitive situation. Patience and empathy is extremely important if you want to convince your parents. Understand their side; what are they objecting and why. Once you get that, it will be easier to debunk any misunderstandings they have about your relationship. Have calm one-on-one conversation with each parent instead of talking to both of them at once. Your first task is to make them listen, not immediately approve. Acknowledge any mistake they bring up; it is indeed unfair to not include your parents in your marriage decision, at least, in India. Though I am sure you had your reasons and I am not judging at all. But you need to acknowledge that it was not right of you to do that. This makes you come off more responsible, mature and sincere. Ask them gently what they do not like about your partner and once you understand it, show them his positive side.

Do not threaten, or give ultimatum. Don’t use dialogues like my life my decision if you want them to ever approve of this relationship. Be patient and give them time to come to terms with it.

Lastly, if you, even once feel that some of their objections are valid and you never saw it that way, please take things slow. We do miss a lot when we are in love. I am sure that’s not the case with you, but just in case, please do not hesitate to rethink.

Best Wishes.
