I failed in my second-year BTech exam. I was not interested in BTech. However, I am going in for re-admission. Am I doing the right thing? - Amit Sharma.
I am sorry to hear that you have difficulty with your BTech course. You need to assess the reasons for faring so badly. Is it because you are unable to cope with the studies, or have there been other problems? It is possible that this is not the right course for you and you may be better off cutting your losses now.
To find the most suitable course, you have to try and figure out what you are good at and interested in. If you are still interested in engineering, you may consider a three-year diploma in engineering, which is academically not as tough as the BTech. On the other hand, if you are good at maths and interested in information technology, you can take up a BSc in computers, or a computer course with any computer institute and build your skills in that field.
There are many other technical diplomas in fields, such as printing and packaging, plastics, footwear technology, construction technology and so on. You may think about moving out of the science and maths stream and consider commerce, hospitality, travel, design, communications or any discipline you like and can do well in.
I am a senior software engineer in a multinational company. I am an MCA with six years' experience. I wish to become a lecturer in computer science in a good university. Is a doctorate mandatory to qualify as a lecturer or will clearing the National Eligibility Test (NET) do? Also, will my industry experience be counted? - Nitin Garg.
You can sit for the NET if you have 55 per cent marks in your MCA from a University Grants Commission (UGC)-recognised university. Candidates who have at least 55 per cent marks (without rounding off) in a Master's degree or equivalent examination in humanities (including languages) and social sciences, computer science and applications, electronic science etc from universities/ institutions recognised by the UGC are eligible for this test.
