Ans: Yes, you can study Class 11–12 again on your own and appear for JEE Main and JEE Advanced; the 75% marks rule matters mainly at the time of admission, not for taking the exams.
Good luck.

My daughter failed in class 9th and now she has enrolled in NIOS secondary . There is lot of free time . What can she do keep herself busy?
Ans: Before I answer your question, Vikas Sir, I want to ensure that your daughter doesn't spend more than 45 minutes a day on her phone or other electronic devices. If your daughter becomes addicted, she risks eye strain, headaches from blue light, poor posture, weight gain from inactivity, sleep issues from late-night use, and eating problems. It can also hurt her mind by making her depressed and anxious (27% more likely), making it difficult to concentrate and study, making her feel lonely and isolated from less real interaction, making her feel low self-esteem from comparison traps, and making her stressed and irritable from dopamine crashes.
Even if both parents work, keep communication open to boost her confidence—know what she loves. She should study 4-5 hours daily using NIOS books/SWAYAM and Class 10 mocks with the Pomodoro technique (25-30 mins study, 5-10 mins break) to stay focused. Add 30 minutes of skills like coding/typing or Duolingo English if interested, plus 10 minutes of yoga, hobbies (gardening/cooking/drawing/poems), and walks/cycling for fitness and fun. Finally, join NIOS WhatsApp groups for doubts and help at home and track weekly goals with rewards. Don't force anything—let her choose what excites her most! All the BEST for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future!

Ans: Yes, CBSE PCB + NIOS Maths is the same as PCM for getting into engineering colleges. You can apply if you pass the exam or interview.

Marriage counsellor - Answered on Apr 03, 2026
Asked by Anonymous - Apr 01, 2026Hindi
I'm a 33-year-old married woman, and I recently discovered that my husband has been deleting chats and hiding conversations with a female colleague. When I confronted him, he said it’s 'just harmless flirting' and accused me of being insecure and overreacting. The problem is, I can’t shake off this constant anxiety and urge to check his phone, which is slowly affecting my mental peace. Are these early signs of emotional cheating in marriage, and how do you rebuild trust when your partner doesn’t see anything wrong with their behaviour?
Ans: Hello mam. I hope you are in good health. Mam, marriage is all about trust and good communication. If these two things are there in marriage then things do work out. I understand that you are having anxiety and you feel insecure in this situation but if your husband ia saying that it was a casual talk and you have not confronted him before this then I think you should give him another fair chance with trust and you should not feel it a cheating. Try to spend some more quality time with him. You will see changes soon.
Take care!
Regards
Dr Upneet Kaur

Mam, why do women always have to adjust in a marriage? Why don't our parents ever accept that men can be at fault too? Whenever I tell my mother or mother in law about something hurtful my husband said or did, she tells me to forgive and move on. He never apologises or thinks he has done anything wrong. My husband and I are married for 11 years, but he never admits he has done anything wrong. Isn't it disrespectful and unfair to ask a woman to adjust and ignore without listening to both sides of the story?
Ans: You’re right. It’s unfair. And it’s exhausting.
Women are told to “adjust” because it’s easier for families to keep peace than to hold men accountable. Your mother and mother-in-law are not really judging right or wrong — they’re choosing convenience over fairness.
But that doesn’t make it correct.
If your husband never apologises, never reflects, and you are always the one expected to move on, then this is not adjustment — this is imbalance.
And the real issue is not your parents anymore.
It’s that your husband has learned he doesn’t have to take responsibility, because the system around him supports that.
You don’t need to argue with your parents to prove your point.
You need to stop silently accepting a pattern that hurts you.
You don’t have to fight.
But you also don’t have to keep absorbing everything.
A simple shift is this:
instead of explaining again and again, just say calmly —
“This hurt me. I’m not okay with ignoring it.”
And then don’t rush to normalise things immediately.
Respect in a marriage doesn’t come from adjusting more.
It comes when the other person realises you won’t keep accepting less.

My bf checks my phone without permission. I am in a two-year relationship with my boyfriend, and initially everything felt perfect, but now he constantly criticises what I wear, who I talk to, and even checks my phone's notifications. Last week, he created a scene at my friend’s birthday party because I was talking to a male colleague. He even blamed me for “disrespecting” the relationship and did not speak to me for two days. I feel mentally exhausted trying to explain but he says he is too committed and wants to know if I am genuinely interested in a life ahead with him. Part of me is also scared of losing him because he was there for me during a difficult phase in my life. When I explain something and he apologises, I see a side to him which makes it harder to leave. My friends who have not met him feel this is a toxic red flag behaviour . Do you think they could be right or is this something that can improve with time? How do I understand if this relationship is turning emotionally abusive?
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand how exhausting it can be to be constantly doubted when you are not doing anything wrong. Well, your friends’ opinion, while a bit harsh, is not completely wrong. It is a toxic pattern and it needs to be checked if you want to have a healthy relationship. You need to have an open discussion about this with him; tell him how it makes you feel whenever he suspects you of some wrongdoing. Also ask him why does he feel this way so often when every time it is proven that you are loyal to the relationship and him. It is important to understand what is the root cause of this mistrust. This is the only way to move ahead with this relationship and not lose your sanity. If, even after the talk, he continues to exhibit the same behavioural pattern, I would recommend you rethink the relationship because it won’t be an easy life, where you have to constantly prove your innocence. Relationships aren’t based just on love; it needs mutual trust and respect to grow.
Hope this helps.
