Relationship

Dear Love Guru,
Please don’t disclose my name.
I am a girl and I think I like girls. I don’t feel the same way about boys.
This frightens me. I don’t want to feel like this.
What do I do?
Name withheld on request

Ans:

There’s no need to be frightened, my dear.

You’re very likely gay, and THAT’S OKAY. It’s not some fatal disease you have; it’s just that your sexual orientation is different. That said, it’s still normal.

You obviously seem to be struggling with coming to terms with this and I’d recommend that you start seeing a professional therapist.

S/he will be able to help you accept this fact about yourself and maybe help you broach the subject with your family as well.

There’s nothing wrong with you, so go easy on yourself.

Hello sir , my son got 31000 rank in jee mains and 17000 in jee advance , he has cleared AAT and as per mock round 1 he is getting BArch in IIT ROORKEE now we are confused should we keep this option or put other option like mechanical in nit kurukshetra, delhi , Hamirpur or IIIT UNA cse etc on top above it....how is the scope and atmosphere of IIT roorkee barch
Ans: Based on the latest placement data and institutional comparisons, IIT Roorkee’s B.Arch offers near-universal placement rates (90–100%) with recruiters like Microsoft, J.P. Morgan, and L&T, supported by interdisciplinary training in sustainability, smart cities, and heritage conservation. While Mechanical Engineering at NIT Kurukshetra (86% placement), NIT Delhi (75–85%), and NIT Hamirpur (98.06%) provide stable core-sector outcomes, roles are often restricted to manufacturing/automotive sectors, necessitating self-driven upskilling for IT transitions. IIIT Una’s CSE reports declining placement rates (61% in 2024 vs. 87% in 2023) despite higher demand for software roles, raising reliability concerns. IIT Roorkee’s **#1 NIRF Architectureanking, DGCA-recognized labs, and global research collaborations provide unmatched academic rigor and sectoral diversity, though architectural careers demand specific passion. Prioritize IIT Roorkee B.Arch for institutional prestige and placement assurance if inclined toward design/urban planning; opt for NIT Mechanical only if core engineering aligns with long-term goals, acknowledging the need for supplementary coding skills. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Is iit chemical good or mechanical good option ?
Ans: Based on placement trends and industry demand across IITs, Mechanical Engineering offers broader career opportunities with higher and more consistent placement rates compared to Chemical Engineering. Over the past three years, Mechanical Engineering at IITs like Bombay, Delhi, and Madras has maintained 80–90% placement rates, supported by recruitment across automotive, aerospace, energy, and manufacturing sectors, with core roles dominating placements. In contrast, Chemical Engineering placements exhibit greater variability, with top IITs like Bombay reporting 83–89% placement rates (2021–2024), while newer IITs like Tirupati and Dhanbad struggle with 33–65% rates, reflecting sector-specific demand fluctuations in petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and R&D. Mechanical’s curriculum aligns with diverse industries, enabling graduates to access roles in IT, consulting, and core engineering, whereas Chemical Engineering graduates often face narrower opportunities outside core sectors unless transitioning to data science or MBA. While both branches provide research pathways, Mechanical’s industry-agnostic skill set and higher recruiter diversity (e.g., Tata, Microsoft, Honda) make it a safer choice for placement security, whereas Chemical Engineering suits those committed to niche sectors like process engineering or environmental science. Prioritize Mechanical Engineering for stable career prospects unless deeply inclined toward chemical processes or research.

All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
