“If you are a CSE aspirant, it is very important to understand deeply what you have studied during your entire graduation process… If you want to go a long way, really want to make a big contribution to the system, So you have to deeply understand the things that you study in your syllabus,” he said, answering a series of questions raised by the students.
Speaking about medicine, Dr. Divya Sudresh, Ophthalmologist, Ramaiah Medical College and Hospital, Bengaluru said, “Doctoring is an evergreen career, and you always get jobs in this field.

Ramesh Babu HS, Principal and Professor, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, RNS Institute of Technology, Bengaluru spoke about engineering education. “Engineering aspirants need to make a list of good engineering colleges in Bengaluru and Karnataka and find out what courses they have. You should get all the information about engineering colleges: people behind the department, resources they have, achievements of the students, what kind of companies are coming for placements. Follow your passion and choose the course. No course is bad. If you study the syllabus with full passion and dedication, you will get good marks and a good job.”
Talking about the CET, Dr HR Shivakumar, Administrative Officer, KEA said, “KEA is conducting the entrance exam for professional courses like Engineering, B.Sc Sehmat, BVSc, Pharmacy and B.Sc Nursing courses from this year onwards. We also provide counseling for Medical, Dental, Ayush and Architecture courses. After the CET result, KEA will announce the counseling schedule for engineering and other courses.
“KEA will conduct online document verification. Which documents are required to be submitted and how to verify is very important. Make a list of documents required when you go for counselling, such as class 10 and 12 mark card, study certificate, constitutional reservation certificate and others. All information will be provided in KEA website. Hence, students must check the KEA website at least two to three times in a day,” he said.
Amin E-Mudassar, Career Counselor and CEO, CIGMA said, “Students should learn multiple skills, upgrade themselves and try to acquire knowledge online. Do not choose your career by getting influenced by others. Be open, and don’t finalize before you clear. Read career supplements and magazines, bust myths and accept facts. At the end of your graduation, you should have at least five internships.
