I am retired and live on pension and interest incomes. Very recently, I have sold off a nine year old car of mine, which was purchased entirely with cheque and bank loan. I sold the car and received entire sale proceeds in my bank account by NEFT. Is the amount going to be taxable as additional income? I paid tax once on the money while purchasing the car.

Kindly share your category and domicile.

Ans: HI RAJESWARY,
When compared to AI & DS, CSE OR ECE IS BETTER. Possibilities are there for CSE. But no guarantee.

Repost your query.

Ans: Murali Sir, Koneru Lakshmaiah University (KLU) Vijayawada is a UGC Category-1 deemed university with NAAC A++ grading and NBA-accredited CSE, offering a well-structured ACM-aligned curriculum, modern software and AI labs, and a 20 Gbps campus network. CSE students have enjoyed 100% placement eligibility with major recruiters like Wipro, Infosys, TCS, and Amazon visiting annually, yielding an average package of ?7 LPA and median ?8.2 LPA over the last three years. Experienced PhD faculty, active industry MoUs, and robust internship opportunities from the second year underpin its academic rigor and professional preparedness.

Tier-2 Bengaluru private colleges accessible at a COMEDK rank of 77,400 typically hold NAAC B+/A accreditation with NBA-accredited programs, combining fundamental curricula with basic programming and communication labs. Their placement cells report 60–75% CSE placement rates, with average packages of ?3–5 LPA, and limited recruiting from regional IT services firms. Faculty profiles vary, and industry tie-ups are fewer, resulting in fewer live projects and smaller internship stipends.

recommendation Opt for KLU Vijayawada CSE to leverage its top-tier accreditation, assured placement eligibility, advanced labs, and extensive recruiter network. Consider a Bengaluru tier-2 college only if proximity, lower fees, or specific state quota advantages outweigh the benefits of KLU’s superior infrastructure, consistent placements, and research environment. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Hello Jyoti
Considering a female candidate, try to reconsider the mechanical and production-related branches. Hence, ECE/VLSI at NIT Jalandhar, EEE at NIT Calicut, or CSE (Dual) at NIT Hamirpur are better fits. Choose CSE (Dual) at NIT Hamirpur if she prefers coding/tech, or ECE/VLSI if she's more inclined toward electronics and design. Finally, CSE (Dual) at NIT Hamirpur is the best choice you can go with for your daughter. The final decision will be yours.

Good luck.

Ans: Hello dear
PCMB is more demanding because of the extra subject, and it keeps more career options open early on. PCMC is better if she prefers technology, engineering, or computer-related fields, as it provides a deeper focus on programming and computational thinking. Computer skills can be learned from any source, but opportunities with biology may be limited. The recommendation is to choose PCMB over PCMC.

Good luck.
