Ans: Hi Nandu,

Greetings!

Could you please let me know which year you completed your course and whether you are currently doing an internship or apprenticeship? An internship is part of the curriculum, where students gain practical training, sometimes with a stipend and sometimes without. After completing your course, you can opt for an apprenticeship, which typically lasts one to one and a half years and includes a stipend, usually split 50%-50% between the industry and government.

If you are in the internship phase, please inform me about the specific field you are working in. Initially, you may not expect a high salary, but after gaining expertise in your field, your compensation will improve. Typically, this takes about three years, so it’s important to focus on skill acquisition for a better future.

If your internship aligns with your field of study, I encourage you to continue and consider starting a medical lab or exploring opportunities in medical devices related to biochemistry. However, pursuing a career in pharmaceutical production may not be suitable for you, as it is a different field, and you may find it challenging to grasp the processes involved since you are currently inexperienced in that area.

Please share the specific field of your internship, and I would be happy to provide more tailored advice.
with regards

Ans: Hello,

To begin with, thank you for reaching out to us. To answer your question, it’s definitely possible for you to pursue an MS in AI/ML in the USA after completing your BTech in Mechanical Engineering! Since you have a solid background in engineering, you’ll likely have a good foundation in math, algorithms, and problem-solving, which are key in AI/ML. However, you might need to take some additional courses in programming, statistics, or machine learning fundamentals before applying, depending on the program. It’s important to research the specific requirements for the universities you're interested in and make sure you meet their prerequisites, but with the right preparation, your background can actually make you a strong candidate!

Ans: Hello,

First of all, congrats to your son on his admission and scholarship! To answer your question, Germany offers great opportunities for international students, especially if he's willing to explore the job market after graduation. With a degree in Project Management and a strong football background, he could potentially tap into both the corporate world and the sports sector. He could even combine his project management knowledge with his football interest by working as a football team manager. The key is networking, gaining relevant experience, and possibly learning German, as it would open more doors. His age and athleticism can definitely give him an edge in both professional and sports-related careers in Germany.
