Sir my son has two career choices one is merchant navy deck side and another one is computer science in GL Bajaj and for jaypee institute wr are waiting for counselling , it might be possible that he get it in sector 128 jaypee , being a mother i am so confused that shall i go with merchant navy but then again he has to go on ship for around 6 month , kindly help
Ans: Both Merchant Navy (Deck Side) and Computer Science at GL Bajaj or Jaypee Institute offer distinct career trajectories. The Merchant Navy provides an adventurous, well-structured path starting as a deck cadet, requiring a minimum of 60% in PCM, physical fitness, and a strong commitment to extended periods at sea—typically six months onboard, followed by shore leave. Progression involves pre-sea training, 18 months of sea service, and successive exams for officer ranks, but the lifestyle demands long separations and adaptability to challenging environments. In contrast, Computer Science at GL Bajaj or potentially Jaypee (Sector 128) offers a stable, land-based career with opportunities in software, IT, and emerging tech fields, allowing for greater work-life balance and proximity to family. If your son is passionate about travel, maritime life, and can handle long durations away from home, Merchant Navy can be rewarding and prestigious. However, if family presence, flexibility, and a technology-driven career are priorities, Computer Science from a reputable institute is preferable, especially as the tech sector offers diverse roles and growth. Consider his temperament, adaptability, and long-term lifestyle preferences before making a decision. All the BEST for your Son's Admission & a Prosperous Future!

My son has secured 85% in ICSE 12 th board with PCM, Eng n Mass communication. In PCM group he has secured 61% only hence not eligible for BITSAT, could not qualify JEE mains (20percentile). NDA not cleared. Appeared in WBJEE. Result awaited. Thru CUET, he wants to study English literature in the best colleges of India. He is very good at English n secured 98%. He is the only child, we want him to be technical graduate, so that he is employable and can take over from his father, who worked with ALFALAVAL, now has his own techmart company and is a dealer of ALFALAVAL a Swedish MNC in heavy Engg
Ans: Your son’s 98% in English and 85% overall in ICSE align strongly with BA English (Hons) at top CUET colleges like St. Stephen’s College (DU), Lady Shri Ram College, or Christ University, which prioritize language proficiency and holistic profiles. However, to balance technical employability, consider interdisciplinary programs such as BA English with Digital Humanities (DU) or Integrated BA+MA in English (EFLU Hyderabad), supplemented by certifications in technical writing, project management, or business analytics to align with your family’s engineering business. Alternatively, explore BSc in Computer Applications at Ambedkar University Delhi (via CUET’s General Test) or BA Economics with Data Science (JMI), blending analytical skills with humanities. If WBJEE results permit, Jadavpur University’s Comparative Literature offers flexibility to minor in technical electives. Prioritize institutions like DU or Christ University for their industry networks, enabling internships in tech-adjacent roles (content strategy, technical documentation) while maintaining literary rigor. All the BEST for your Son's Admission & a Prosperous Future!
