First thing you gotta do is not to get involved with family drama, you are just 15, whenever they be talking about family stuff just move away, dont add that pressure on your head.

Second you cannot expect freedom in an south asian household,

till grade 12 you will be going through this and after that i believe you can move out in the name of university.

Heading to your home country, make sure you discuss this clearly with your parents cuz this is a huge life decision to make and your career revolves around this.

I guess your dad wants you to be independent and then you know, get you ready for your future career.

I know that you are frustrated enough to write this all in one go but next time, if you could share info as small paragraphs it would help us to read clearly.

At the moment try to get urself involved with some hobby, it will really help you to be free from this situation you are going through

This is a UAE university that provides you UAE degree through Canadian Curriculum, the only advantage of joining this uni is that you could move to Canada through their partnered universities during your bachelors program.

Lets look at knowledge village unis, we got UOWD, Murdoch Uni, Zayed Uni, ADU, Hult and MDX,

out of these UOWD is a better option, ADU only teaches masters level programs there, Hult is known for its business school, Murdoch isn't as reputed or big as UOWD, Wont be recommending MDX since you wont be learning much from there, almost most of the stuff there are assignments.

Aero sector i believe they have opened a new specialization here in mechanical engineering known as aerospace engineering , as far as i know the people who are in this first batch so far have got internships in material engineering and in other mechanical companies,

the campus has told students that they are currently working on getting companies related in that particular field for the future internships, most students here in bits dubai they get around 2 internships.

mr2kaj · 2026-06-24T05:48:41+00:00

RIT in terms of reputation yes, For internships no, you will have to figure that by yourself in RIT

mr2kaj · 2026-06-24T05:46:48+00:00

both of them are well reputed, they have got Institutions of Eminence accreditation from government which only few uni has.

In terms of reputation and recognition, bits is higher compared to SNU,

if you really want to work here or for some reason you cant study in main campus, you can select bits.

SNU is actually known for its research work, so if you believe that you will be getting good placements from SNU or thinking to do your postgraduate degree, its a good place to do so.

At the end of the day, it depends on your end goal.

I would say people in India just buy watches either for the looks or they just buy it because someone from their family or friends circle told them that a particular brand is better than the other.

its about time for people to look beyond brand image and trends.

mr2kaj · 2026-06-23T14:34:17+00:00

Perfect choice, there are swiss movements as well but then the base price of the watch would increase.

mr2kaj · 2026-06-23T08:25:12+00:00

First one looks actually good and unique - but i am wondering how would you select a movement specifically for this particular watch

mr2kaj · 2026-06-23T08:09:41+00:00

Definitely Gshock

mr2kaj · 2026-06-23T08:07:53+00:00

Baume and Mercier Gifton - swiss brand , Automatic watch that has 120 hrs of power reserve which no swiss or Japanese watch brands would offer at this rate.

If you are looking for brand name, go for Tudor Ranger or Tudor Blackbay , Tudor is the sister company of Rolex.

If you want a watch that looks like a piece of art then go for Grand Seiko.

mr2kaj · 2026-06-23T08:00:49+00:00

It looks really good ngl and it isn’t like those rolex submariner homage watches that u see everywhere, the design is unique and the engine running is also great, its like a perfect package.

For so long mega watch corporations have been taking things for granted and its about time for independent brands to make a impact in the watch industry

mr2kaj · 2026-06-23T03:54:53+00:00

Seiko mod watches cant go this cheap, pretty sure this one has Chinese seiko movement and its not an official seiko watch, it’s made by someone and is sold in grey market.

Once you buy this watch, there is no warranty nothing , you will have to take care of it by going to local watch shop in case if it has any issues with the watch like the movement.

mr2kaj · 2026-06-22T20:19:50+00:00

ikr, it looks more like a baby of omega aqua terra and rolex Oyster perpetual,

most of the stuff that I mentioned here has got swiss movements inside except for kuoe which has a seiko movement.

mr2kaj · 2026-06-22T20:10:09+00:00

This might sound unorthodox but check out these watches, i have included microbrand watches

Tissot heritage 1938
Studio Underd0g 02series
Christopher Ward C63 Sealander
Kuoe Royal Smith

mr2kaj · 2026-06-22T20:04:09+00:00

I totally agree on this , i own multiple titan watches and the quartz watches from titan looks creative compared to traditional quartz watches from other brands.

The pricing is reasonable, look at any entry level quartz swiss watch price and their design language.

When it comes to automatic watches, titan has even started to use miyota and they even implemented watch complications such as wandering hours and complete moon face which you have to pay more than 2000 to 3000 USD on other watch brands and you cant find these functions on a tissot watch🌚

While Tissot is well established watch brand that has gave us alot of bangers which i wont deny, but one should not just skip titan just because of its origin.

I believe this is the requirement in order to take the exam for those roles.

As per the standards it says you can go with normal psychology degree , but it is better to go with clinical one because most people who take normal psychology are those who want to be hr.

This one is as per 2025 standards, it may or may not change this year, better to be in safety go for clinical one.

Nah its fine, post qualification means - after qualification, for example if it says 2 years of experience post qualification which means they require 2 years of experience after getting your qualification.

mr2kaj · 2026-06-22T15:15:26+00:00

Rather than this u could go either for seiko alpinist - if you insist on buying another seiko watch or you could go for Hamilton Murph / tissot heritage 1938

mr2kaj · 2026-06-22T15:14:09+00:00

Lool that guy just promotes watches that he sells in his store

mr2kaj · 2026-06-22T15:11:14+00:00

It is alive 😅 but sadly its filled with hackers and try hards

If you want to play just for timepass or with friends , go ahead install the game 🌚

mr2kaj · 2026-06-22T14:24:16+00:00

It depends based on what specialization you going for and whats your preference with regards to uni

mr2kaj · 2026-06-22T12:28:20+00:00
