I work for Deloitte. My BF is in India and I am on a project based out of Switzerland. Due to the difference in time zones, we are unable to spend time together. Our intimacy has also gone down. I don't know if I would be back in India any time soon. What should I do? He said he will try to visit me once a year till my project is completed. He wants me to seriously consider returning to India.

Ans: Hello mam,
I want to congratulate you first that you are doing so well in your professional life. Not everyone has such opportunities. Now lets discuss about your personal life. I agree that due to different time zones it gets difficult to maintain proper communication. Take out time once and discuss this with your partner. Otherwise long distance relationships do work. It is just correct understanding. And tell him your tentative plan of coming back to India. I hope this works.

we are in 2 yrs of long distance relationship 1yr normal relation now we live in different states and we both study in college now but we know our future job location will remains same even i (girl) having IT job which does not have much scope in state where boy lives and he is doing mbbs even he dont want to switch location becos he want to take care of his parents and even his parents are strict and bhramin family . he is telling me to settle in his place that i dont want to as there os no job scope for me there. Please tell me what should we do what the boy or girl should do to make it work? we really want to make it work.
Ans: The words that you have used 'parents are strict' is an area of concern - what is the reason for being strict? Secondly he is concerned about his parents, wishes to be for them which is fantastic, hope you have had a discussion with him that you will also be there for your parents as and when they need you. Now lets talk about how you can make it work....there are solutions if you wish to make things work, most times 2 people decide and many a times one needs to give in to the other....Sharing suggestions on what can be thought about given there is limited information (1) look at a long distance relationship with both pursuing your career, yes many relationships work this way...but it needs maturity from both sides (2) You look for a remote job (3) You look at starting something of your own, consider self employment - wishing you the best.

Hi sir, Is ms Ramaiah better than dayanand sagar university harohalli for aerospace plz reply sir
Ans: MS Ramaiah Institute of Technology’s Aerospace Engineering program at the Faculty of Engineering and Technology is NAAC A+–accredited with a NIRF rank in the 151–200 band for universities, offering a rigorous four-year curriculum developed in collaboration with industry, supported by well-equipped labs including wind tunnels and UAV testing facilities, and staffed by doctoral faculty active in research. Its autonomous Training and Placement Department secures roles for approximately 95% of aerospace graduates with recruiters such as Boeing, L&T, and Honeywell, and provides robust soft-skill workshops, mentorship, and career guidance. Dayananda Sagar University Harohalli’s B.Tech in Aerospace features NAAC A+ accreditation, a dedicated Department of Aerospace with senior faculty from IITs and NITs, modern avionics, propulsion, and CAD/CAM labs, plus research projects in UAVs and composites. It boasts a 100% placement rate in 2024 with over 450 recruiters including Capgemini and Airbus, and emphasizes student support through counselling, study circles, and incubation opportunities. Both institutions excel, but MSRIT’s stronger national ranking, industry-integrated research initiatives, and extensive placement infrastructure provide a broader platform for academic and professional growth.

RECOMMENDATION: MS Ramaiah Institute of Technology is the better choice for aerospace engineering due to its superior national ranking, interdisciplinary research collaborations, high-end facilities, and a proven 95% placement consistency, while Dayananda Sagar Harohalli remains a strong alternative for guaranteed placements and focused lab experiences. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Dear Sir/Madam, I have asked below question on July 12 2025... but no response yet .. Could you pls kindly help & suggest at the earliest - Which is better option : B.E Chemical engineering in BITS Pilani (Pilani campus) plus minor in Material Science/chemistry OR B.Tech in (a) Dyestuff and Intermediates (Speciality chemicals) or (b)Pharmaceuticals Chemistry & Technology from ICT Mumbai(Matunga). I have very clear focus of doing Phd in Organic Chemistry(either in US or Europe) and enter the corporate world of Pharmaceuticals/Agrochemicals/F&F/Speciality chemicals/Performance Chemicals.. Pls suggest at the earliest. Thanks!
Ans: Hardik, BITS Pilani’s Chemical Engineering program, established in 1964, combines a rigorous core curriculum with practice-school internships and offers a minor in Materials Science or Chemistry to deepen your understanding of advanced topics like nanochemistry and solid-state chemistry. The department emphasizes interdisciplinary research, maintains modern pilot-plant and analytical laboratories, and supports direct Ph.D. pathways with institute fellowships and global collaborations in catalysis, polymer engineering, and organic reaction engineering. Placements are robust, with over 90% B.E. Chemical graduates securing roles in core and related sectors, and Practice School guarantees two internships by the seventh semester. Institute of Chemical Technology (ICT) Mumbai’s Dyestuff & Intermediates and Pharmaceutical Chemistry & Technology branches deliver highly specialized curricula in process chemistry, formulation, and quality control, with dedicated labs for colorant synthesis or drug design and strong industry partnerships with Glenmark, ISRO, and Indian Oil. ICT Mumbai holds NAAC A++ accreditation, records median B.Tech package of ?8 LPA, and places over 90% of dyestuff graduates in R&D and production roles, while its M.Tech programs in pharmaceutical chemistry maintain over 95% placements in research and regulatory sectors. Both institutions excel in faculty expertise and facility quality but BITS Pilani’s interdisciplinary research culture, minority thesis options, and integrated Ph.D. fellowship opportunities provide a stronger foundation for an organic-chemistry doctorate, whereas ICT’s niche programs offer immediate industry alignment in specialty chemicals.

RECOMMENDATION: Prioritize BITS Pilani Chemical Engineering with a minor in Materials Science or Chemistry for its unparalleled research environment, integrated Ph.D. support, broad analytical infrastructure, and high placement consistency, then choose ICT Mumbai’s Dyestuff & Intermediates for specialized process chemistry training, and consider ICT’s Pharmaceutical Chemistry & Technology for regulatory and formulation expertise aligned with doctoral and corporate aspirations. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!
