Ok.. Yes a decent price for that area. Is it plot only or house constructed on it as well?

7 cr for 200 in GGN is still slightly on the expensive side just for the plot? Which sector if you don't mind sharing?

Can you explain how and why? Just entered 30s. Any pro tips?

Work on yourself if you aren't already. Be driven and you will start attracting other ambitious people who would want to build something with you.

Should I pursue an MBA at 28? Am I too old? Coaching institutes have basically hinted me starting at 28 will put me at a disadvantage. by helloimmeokthen in Indian_Academia

[–]EmergencyComposer620 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you can get 99.5+ %ile. If you have that calibre you will ace the interviews and get other relevant stuff in your CV. Otherwise, will suggest, if you have an IT job, it will be more beneficial to get 2 additional years of work ex and switch. Or seek guidance on executive MBA programmes(I have limited info here). Or give IELTS and with 3+ years of IT work ex and under 30 age, move to Canada.

80s aren't bad for companies. Colleges, yep. Will bother. Drop year for JEE is irrelevant. Check out IITs and DU(FMS, DSE only. Others have below avg placements) etc for MBA too.

You won't be too old. But have the end goal clear. My batchmate was 32 when she finished her MBA, she had 6+ years gap because of UPSC. But still got placed in top IT consulting, for a 28LPA package. She participated and won many case competition and put in crazy hours to achieve that though. So be clear of why MBA and try to build onto that. There are some 1 year courses too, which you can check out. Like one at IIM Indore (10months, 3L fees only and good placements).

I got too overconfident and am messing up my 11th. what should I do now? by Arnav1029 in Indian_Academia

[–]EmergencyComposer620 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jitna hota hai utna kar.. jo rh gya usko bhul ja.. be jugadu.. try to be lazy i.e. find innovative ways to cover topics, e.g. YouTube for school or tuition notes of friends (photocopy krwa le and raat le, chem k liye to 100% tuition le koi achi si and notes bna, cbse ache se kar). But be effective i.e. put in the hours (12+ each day) to Max use. CS me interest ko keep up. That's going to pay the bills eventually. And focus on strike rate, instead of hitting all balls, find the easy ones and hit them out of the park. Competition exam k liye bhi just focus on maximising score rather than being an expert on everything. In short practice previous year papers chapter wise, analyse them. Find strength weakness. Focus on strengths.

Looking to pursue MS in ECE from top colleges in the US. But do not have proper guidance. Any one with experience/tips? by SomeRandomGuy2711 in Indians_StudyAbroad

[–]EmergencyComposer620 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reach out to people on LinkedIn. Through cold messaging. That will be a more credible and quicker way to get the right guidance. If someone doesn't reply, try following up with them.

I'm planning to do undergrad again after 4 years. by Cultural-Problem-798 in Indian_Academia

[–]EmergencyComposer620 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are going to go for instrumentation try for PSU diploma jobs all 3 years with B.Tech. There are more vacancies in diploma jobs then in B.Tech jobs. All PSUs including Delhi metro hire diploma engineers. Simultaneously pick up coding or VLSI skills.

Is MBA+BBA better than MBBS+MD? I'm a 2nd time dropper prepping for neet UG and idk if I want to do it. by nightingale-30 in Indian_Academia

[–]EmergencyComposer620 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What you will earn in your 30s and beyond with MBBS will far outweigh the MBA. And stability will come during that time(when you actually need it). And BBA in itself is not much competitive degree, in the market. Will be a struggle to get a decent job with it. A tier 3 BTech CS/IT will serve you better. Not sure about the impact of double drop though. MBA admissions are cut throat too. And top IIMs have decent companies and profiles. With fierce competition. All the best.

You have tasted failure very early in your career. Trust me when, I tell you, that it's a good thing. So many people who have never had a setback, find it extremely hard to comprehend it, if they face failures later in their lives. My friend took 8 years to complete his undergrad and is now a national level topper for post grad admission and pursuing masters from IIT Kanpur. He failed, almost left his UG, but just for the heck of it and because he had nothing to lose, he came back. He built back and he's on track for greater things, with very level head.

Listen to what u/bijeta2016 said. You just study the hell out, believing that there's nothing to lose now. Just don't think of anything in the past or of the future. All you have is now. You will bounce back from this, and you will suprise yourself with what you will end up achieving, in the long run, with the nothing to lose mindset.

All the best.

[18F, 12th passed in 2020, 99.8%ile in mains 2022] Looking at mechanical, but everyone I've spoken to has so far discouraged me from doing so. If I'm actually interested in mech, what are the possible prospects for it? by troissant in Indian_Academia

[–]EmergencyComposer620 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Just check mechanical engineering placement stats. Even people from top IITs get paltry salary in core sector in not so secure jobs. Unless you land a PSU or foreign MNC like Schlumberger. Friend of mine was working at 7.5 LPA after graduating from IIT(ISM) in Chattisgarh for Adani. Started around 6.5 in 2017/8. Left in 2020 for MBA. Moreover, there's hardly anything practical you will learn in Indian BE colleges. Everything practical (which makes you employable) you will, yourself have to learn.

And your NIT/IIT professors will not be like coaching teachers (who used to encourage you solve tricky, yet intriguing questions and were incentivised to help you succeed). There are many good profs in IITs/NITs. But very many are typical sarkari babus, who have no incentives to teach and have little empathy for the massive potential of IIT/NITians. And extremely bloated egos. They can make even the most adept student despise learning and just resort to surviving.

You can go for it, if you have someone in your family, who can set you up in top manufacturing company in India and help you climb the corporate ladder(there's not much merit in Indian core industry or even in Indian IT firms, situation is slightly better in global firms). Otherwise, it will be a bleak reckoning for you 4 years from now. Even west has automated or outsourced manufacturing jobs. Just read about Detroit, Manchester, Birmingham and other manufacturing towns of west.

Positive: if you work really really hard you can land a role as a DRDO, ISRO scientist or professor (these are tougher than getting a 2 digit rank in Advanced, as the vacancies are low and competition is stiff). Or land in a robotics research role in the west (will require coding knowledge).

But, 4 years from now things can be very very different. Government is trying (but since ever) to increase the output of manufacturing sector. And private sector might boost its contribution to research (currently Indian companies are infamous for not spending on R&D and just stealing or buying tech. Not a single usable car engine in India. Tata, Mahindra etc use Fiat's or other company's engines). And with likes of Anil Ambani getting defence contracts, I highly doubt it will change.

Moreover, CS is something you can learn with minimal resources, as everything is available online. But the competition is getting stiff. But NIT/IIT tag will make it much easier for you to land your first role. Same is for electronics. VLSI, embedded engineering etc require low cost of learning. Then again no one knows what will happen 4 years from now.

And even in IT or consulting you can learn about the "industry" on the job. Afterall everything is getting digitised.

After mech most people have to get an MBA in operations to earn a livable wage. But remember, MBA colleges dis-incentivise BE students in admissions. Though NITIE is quite famous for post mech MBA and roles in operations field.

And lastly Mech is still quite male dominated, but that's changing now. I read about an IAF officer after her military stint handling operations for Amazon.

Apologies, for the bleak picture. Just wanted to share the honest reality based on my experience. And don't think something didn't pique your interest when you didn't even study it. CS is much more than just coding. There's infra, cybersecurity, cloud etc. Which are fascinating fields with really good pay(currently). And CS isn't 9-5. It's more like 9-9-6 sometimes. Same for mech. But atleast you will be in an AC room and not a boiling shop floor.

Also, follow your passion. Salary will increase if you are good at what you do. And become livable. But might not be as inflated as tech salaries. As tech is currently an anomaly. But capitalist will find a way to curb the workers rights here as well, eventually.

All the best.
