Confused About EPF Pension Calculation: Last 60 Months or EPFO Method?

Ans: Hi Prem,

There will always be a demand for health-related courses. Engineering, on the other hand, can undergo drastic changes over time. The health sector remains relatively stable in comparison.

Every human being has two eyes, two legs, and two hands. Any changes or issues related to these aspects are addressed by professionals in the health sector. Therefore, the pharmacy field is unlikely to be negatively affected in the future. While technology may bring some changes, they won't be as significant as those in engineering. So, you can confidently pursue a career in pharmacy for a better future without worrying about job security.

Regarding your second query: Pharmacy offers ten different fields to explore:
1. Pharmaceutical formulation (manufacturing)
2. Quality control and quality assurance (analytical R&D)
3. Herbal research
4. Animal testing
5. Microbiology (QC, R&D for vaccines)
6. Hospital/community/clinical pharmacy
7. Marketing
8. Academics
9. Regulatory affairs
10. Entrepreneurship

Whichever field you choose, it’s essential to acquire knowledge and expertise in that area to succeed. The choice is ultimately yours.

As for your third query about NIPER: As you know, it is a central government institution, and the government is investing around1,000 crores in each campus. If you have the opportunity to gain admission to NIPER, don't miss it. More NIPER campuses are expected to open in the near future, including NIPER Madurai, which has been long awaited. I hope the central government (BJP) will make an announcement regarding this soon.

In addition to conventional courses, there are new branches being introduced at NIPER, which promise a lot of development opportunities.

I think i have answered your query.

If you need any further details, post it in rediffguru.

Ans: Chances at NITs:
Core branches (CSE, ECE, etc.) are highly unlikely at top NITs.

Low-demand NITs (especially in North-East or newer NITs like:

NIT Mizoram

NIT Sikkim

NIT Nagaland

NIT Arunachal Pradesh

NIT Puducherry

NIT Meghalaya) may offer:

Civil / Mechanical / EEE / Metallurgy branches

Especially during CSAB Special Rounds

Chances at IIITs:
Lower IIITs (like IIIT Una, IIIT Nagpur, IIIT Bhagalpur, IIIT Bhopal, IIIT Kottayam) may offer:

CSE/Data Science with difficulty

ECE/IT or other specializations during later JoSAA or CSAB rounds

Chances at GFTIs (CFTIs):
Good chance in colleges like:

Assam University, Silchar

Gurukul Kangri Vishwavidyalaya, Haridwar

University of Hyderabad (5-Year Integrated programs)

BIT Mesra (only through CSAB)

IIEST Shibpur (limited options, tough at this rank)

Ans: Go for Heritage Institute of Technology (ECE) as your aim is GATE

Ans: Go for VIT-AP CSE Core (Category 2)

Ans: Hi Sir,
You are welcome.
Several factors can influence the situation, including:

- The number of candidates who appeared for the exam
- The marks they scored
- The demand for specific branches or specializations
- The location of the institute
- Classmate dynamics
- Social media influence
- Information from websites
- Job opportunities
- Current trends

So, there’s no need to worry. You've made a decision and secured admission. In undergraduate programs, students typically learn the basics. Encourage her to acquire fundamental knowledge and pursue an internship before finishing her course. Additionally, she should consider taking some add-on courses to enhance her job prospects. If she is interested in higher education, she should focus on preparing for it from her second year onward. This way, she can secure a place in a government institution without any difficulty.

Ans: With a JEE Main percentile of 93.1 and the EWS category, you can aim for admission to some mid-tier NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs. You might have a better chance in your home state's NIT or during CSAB special rounds, where more seats become available in lower-ranked NITs. You may not get Computer Science (CSE) in the top NITs, but you can consider other branches in mid-tier NITs or pursue CSE in IIITs or GFTIs

Ans: I can't say for certain. As you mentioned, some websites are making predictions and sharing their insights. Review their predictions from last year. Follow the most accurate predictors and prepare yourself accordingly.

According to your query, you mentioned the general category and asked about your rank. When I calculate your rank using your marks for both male and female candidates, I notice that it varies significantly. There are many factors that influence the prediction. If you overlook even a small detail, the entire outcome can change.

For Example: NEET 2025 RANK PREDICTION FOR YOU -168K to 180K (IF FEMALE) and 196K to 216K (If you are female). Therefore, please wait for the official answer and results.

Ans: Hi Satya,
GOOD DECISION,
If you are interested in engineering, consider pursuing a diploma. You won't have to compete with a large number of candidates. After completing your diploma, you can enter undergraduate programs through lateral entry, and you will have a better understanding of the subject compared to those who were directly admitted.
ALL THE BEST.

Ans: Hi Amit,
OBVIOUSLY MMMUT.
The admission process at MMMUT is based on merit, which will have a significant impact on his career. Even after completing his studies, he will still need to qualify for government jobs, as gaining admission to MMMUT does not guarantee employment in the public sector. It is essential for him to focus on acquiring knowledge and skills during his time there. I recommend that he start preparing for this now and consider taking additional courses starting in his third year.
