While filing ITR, certain schedules, for deductions under chapter VI-A, are required to be selected. Although 12 schedules of Part B are available for selection, no schedule of Part C, CA and D are available for selection. In fact, I want to select Schedule 80TTA for claiming deduction on interest from saving accounts.

Ans: Hello Parth
Even though UGEE brochure doesn’t explicitly say “single marksheet required,” most engineering admissions (including top institutes) interpret eligibility as:
PCM must be from one recognized qualifying exam (single board / single marksheet)
Not split across multiple boards.

Alternatively
Mail IIIT Hyderabad admissions directly

Ask clearly:
Will CBSE PCB + NIOS Maths be considered equivalent to PCM requirement?

Ans: Hi Shivansh

Ans: Hi Anshul
Aaj ke time par B.Tech CSE (General) lena actually sabse flexible aur safe option mana jaata hai. Jo specializations aap mention kar rahe ho—AI, Cyber Security, Data Science—ye sab CSE ke hi subsets hain, alag foundation nahi.

Ans: Bhavani Madam, Medical transcription still has good scope in India despite AI changes—the global market will hit $100B by 2026, with India leading outsourcing jobs, and cities like Bangalore and Delhi showing 60-65% hiring demand for transcriptionists from 2025. Your 20+ years of experience is gold because AI needs human checks for accuracy, compliance, and quality. Shift smartly with these simple options: 1) Learn AI tools like Nuance Dragon via a quick course and add ICD/CPT coding or EHR skills for better-paying, secure roles; 2) Work with AI companies to train models using your domain expertise; 3) Network on LinkedIn with ex-colleagues for tips and leads. You're set for success, Madam. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Ans: You are right. According to today's (1st April 2026) Times of India's News, 'Oracle has started notifying employees about thousands of job cuts as the tech major (ORACLE) navigates pressures arising from aggressive expansion into AI data centre infrastructure. Some reports suggested that up to 12,000 jobs in India could be affected, though this could not be independently verified'. Times of India had even sent an email to ORACLE but did not get any response from it till now. To answer your question (you didn't mention your BTech branch), since you're in 3rd year, make a list of companies that visited your college in the last 2-3 years, including 2025-26. Shortlist those with the best job chances.

Connect with alumni or recently placed students on LinkedIn for company feedback.

Keep building technical skills and soft skills like communication, presentation, and teamwork. Recruiters now want both good grades/tech skills AND these to boost your placement odds next year. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Ans: Harshada, it's great to listen to others' suggestions and opinions. There's nothing wrong with that. But don't base your career decisions only on what they say—everyone sees things differently.
Always choose based on your own interests, passions, strengths, and the problems you want to solve in the future.
To get a rough idea of suitable careers, try a Psychometric Test. When you take one, do it in a quiet place. Read each question carefully before answering honestly. Your answers will shape the report, showing your personality, interests, attitude, and best career fits. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!
