Dear Aspirant, Definitely, academic performance and command should be considered for future career decision making, but that should not be the only criterion. This is where many students and parents make a mistake while deciding a course.  Your interest in Humanities should not be at all neglected. With Maths and humanities as a combination you can get a good career in life.  I feel, that if you are sure that though you have maths competence you should convince your parents about your interest. It is important that we choose what we love and not just based on the basis of mental acum

Dear Aspirant, After completing Diploma in Mechanical Engineering it appears that you dropped from the degree engineering course. Your aspiration to become a Design Engineer may be fine, but it will be a wrong turn at this moment.  I strongly suggest that you should complete your engineering degree and then take a turn towards Design Engineering. Mechanical Engineering is actually a good base and foundation for becoming a Design Engineer as a career. You need to learn the Computer Aided Designing technologies to step into the Designing domain in engineering.  Best wishes

Dear Aspirant, 28 years of age seems too old. What have you done after engineering? Did you work somewhere? This information is very important while taking admission to US universities for MS. Your statement of purpose also is very important since you are over age if not having work experience. You will be required to give GRE Exam to qualify for MS course in US Universities. Mechanical Engineering is definitely a good branch for further studies in US through a MS degree. Best wishes

Dear Aspirant, From Mechanical Engineering you wish to shift to Marketing field. Hope you are a fresher Mechanical Engineer. It appears that your first decision to go to Mechanical Engineering which is one of the core and demanded engineering streams, was not correct.  Now that you are looking for Marketing field as a career, why do you feel that Marketing is the perfect choice for further career? What if this also goes wrong as it did for Engineering? Though there are many engineers who shift to non-engineering career streams after wasting four years and money, it cannot be the same for

Dear Aspirant, I would strictly not recommend you to shift to counselling. Health Counselling will not be applicable to you based on your graduation degree. It will be a very way off from the education you have taken. Further Career counselling is not a simple task and randomly done work. Mechanical Engineering offering so many opportunities, it is really surprising that you are not wanting to do that and shift to counselling. After BE I would suggest you to look for a job in the industry, gain some years of experience and then consider advicing career aspirants.  Best wishes
