Hello Sir, I presently have over 14 years experience in Higher Education Academics and Administration in Indian context i.e. Assistant Professor Administrative Officer, Assistant Registrar and Deputy Registrar . Want to explore opportunities aboard like Gulf countries, Canada etc. Can you suggest how to start the process of job hunting. Thank you in advance.
Ans: Hi Shaikh,

It's great to hear about your extensive experience in Higher Education Academics and Administration in the Indian context. Exploring opportunities abroad, particularly in Gulf countries and Canada, can be an exciting prospect. As an expert, I can offer some guidance on how to initiate the process of job hunting in these regions.

Research and Identify Opportunities: Begin by researching the job market and academic institutions in the Gulf countries and Canada. Look for universities, colleges, or educational organizations that match your expertise and qualifications.

Update your Resume/CV: Tailor your resume to highlight your relevant experience, skills, and achievements. Emphasize your academic qualifications, administrative capabilities, and any research or publications, if applicable.

Networking: Networking is crucial in any job search. Reach out to your professional contacts, colleagues, or alumni who may have connections or knowledge about opportunities in your desired locations. LinkedIn can be a valuable platform for networking.

Explore Online Job Portals: Many international academic institutions and universities post their job openings on reputable online job portals. Look for websites specific to the education sector and use general job portals as well.

Engage with Recruitment Agencies: Some Gulf countries have specific recruitment agencies that specialize in placing professionals in the education sector. Connect with them to explore potential job opportunities.

Research Visa and Work Regulations: Before applying for jobs, familiarize yourself with the visa and work regulations of the countries you are interested in. Each country may have specific requirements for foreign workers.

Prepare for Interviews: If you receive interview invitations, thoroughly research the institutions and the specific roles you're applying for. Prepare for the interviews by highlighting your experience and showcasing your expertise.

Be Patient and Persistent: The job hunting process may take some time, so be patient and persistent in your efforts. Keep applying for suitable positions and follow up on applications when necessary.

Seek Professional Guidance: If needed, consider seeking assistance from career counselors or consultants who specialize in international job placements.

Remember, the job hunting process can be competitive, but your extensive experience and background in Higher Education Academics and Administration will undoubtedly be valuable in your pursuit of opportunities abroad. Best of luck in your job search, and I hope you find the perfect opportunity to further your career and enrich your experience.

Regards,
Abhishek Shah

With 96.85%ile in jee mains general up female is drop a advisable option considering not feels like given 100% effort
Ans: You qualify for JoSAA and will get decent options, but not top NIT/IIIT CSE. Dropping is a personal decision: choose it only if you are highly motivated, can commit to a disciplined study plan, and believe you can improve your percentile. Otherwise, consider the good options you already have and move forward with your engineering journey. I suggest you to choose the best college (private/Govt. through JoSAA) instead of a drop. Here is, How to Predict Your Chances of Admission into NIT or IIIT or GFTI After JEE Main/Advanced Results – A Step-by-Step Guide

Providing precise admission chances for each student can be challenging. Some reputed educational websites offer ‘College Predictor’ tools where you can check possible college options based on your percentile, category, and preferences. However, for a more accurate understanding, here’s a simple yet effective 9-step method using JoSAA’s past-year opening and closing ranks. This approach gives you a fair estimate (though not 100% exact) of your admission chances based on the previous year’s data.

Step-by-Step Guide to Check Your Admission Chances Using JoSAA Data
Step 1: Collect Your Key Details
Before starting, note down the following details:

Your JEE Main percentile
Your category (General-Open, SC, ST, OBC-NCL, EWS, PwD categories)
Preferred institute types (NIT, IIIT, GFTI)
Preferred locations (or if you're open to any location in India)
List of at least 3 preferred academic programs (branches) as backups (instead of relying on just one option)
Step 2: Access JoSAA’s Official Opening & Closing Ranks
Go to Google and type: JoSAA Opening & Closing Ranks 2024
Click on the first search result (official JoSAA website).
You will land directly on JoSAA’s portal, where you can enter your details to check past-year cutoffs.
Step 3: Select the Round Number
JoSAA conducts five rounds of counseling.
For a safer estimate, choose Round 4, as most admissions are settled by this round.
Step 4: Choose the Institute Type
Select NIT, IIIT, or GFTI, depending on your preference.
If you are open to all types of institutes, check them one by one instead of selecting all at once.
Step 5: Select the Institute Name (Based on Location)
It is recommended to check institutes one by one, based on your preferred locations.
Avoid selecting ‘ALL’ at once, as it may create confusion.
Step 6: Select Your Preferred Academic Program (Branch)
Enter the branches you are interested in, one at a time, in your preferred order.
Step 7: Submit and Analyze Results
After selecting the relevant details, click the ‘SUBMIT’ button.
The system will display Opening & Closing Ranks of the selected institute and branch for different categories.
Step 8: Note Down the Opening & Closing Ranks
Maintain a notebook or diary to record the Opening & Closing Ranks for each institute and branch you are interested in.
This will serve as a quick reference during JoSAA counseling.
Step 9: Adjust Your Expectations on a Safer Side
Since Opening & Closing Ranks fluctuate slightly each year, always adjust the numbers for safety.
Example Calculation:
If the Opening & Closing Ranks for NIT Delhi | Mechanical Engineering | OPEN Category show 8622 & 26186 (for Home State), consider adjusting them to 8300 & 23000 (on a safer side).
If the Female Category rank is 34334 & 36212, adjust it to 31000 & 33000.
Follow this approach for Other State candidates and different categories.
Pro Tip: Adjust your expected rank slightly lower than the previous year's cutoffs for realistic expectations during JoSAA counseling.

Can This Method Be Used for JEE April & JEE Advanced?
Yes! You can repeat the same steps after your April JEE Main results to refine your admission possibilities.
You can also follow a similar process for JEE Advanced cutoffs when applying for IITs.

Have some other options also as back-ups instead of relying only on JEE/JoSAA.
