I appeared for my 12th board exam in 2026 and scored 62.1%. I didn’t meet the JEE eligibility criteria, but I have to appear for the JEE exam again. The improvement exam will be held in July, and if I take it again, my final result will be declared later. So, what will happen with JoSAA counselling? I want to get admission to an IIT.

Ans: Anjali, target 2027 JEE Main & Advanced after making sure you meet the eligibility criteria. Have backup options of 5-6 private engineering colleges also, instead of relying only on JEE. All The Best for Your Prosperous Future!

Sir I have passed my 12 cbse board in 2023 but now I want to write jee mains exam so can I appear for nios public exam 2026 and I am eligible for jee mains 2027

Ans: No, you are not eligible for JEE Main 2027. National Testing Agency (NTA) rules state that the year you first passed Class 12 (2023) remains your definitive qualifying year. Reappearing via NIOS in 2026 does not reset your eligibility window. All The Best for Your Prosperous Future!

My mother-in-law is constantly creating misunderstandings between my husband and me. She often says or does things that lead to arguments, but then pretends to be innocent, making it difficult for my husband to see what is happening. She is emotionally manipulating my husband and son against me. This has started affecting our relationship and my peace of mind. How can I deal with this situation without creating more conflict in my marriage?

Ans: Hi!!

Being a wife and a daughter-in-law is not an easy job. Over and above that, having a difficult or manipulative mother-in-law can sometimes feel like too much to handle.

She is your husband’s mother, and therefore, she deserves your respect, regardless of how she behaves.

The relationship between a husband and wife is sacred. It has to be built on mutual love, respect and trust. If your relationship is built on these principles, whatever your mother-in-law may do to create misunderstandings between you and your husband, it will not be easy for her to break the bond you share. I am very sure of this.

But first, check yourself. Be truthful, honest, loving and respectful towards your husband and towards everyone around you. You really have to practise these qualities and believe in their strength. When you know that you have been genuine in your relationship, you will have the inner strength and confidence to deal with difficult situations.

Most importantly, value your happiness and peace at all costs. Learn to let go of the small things for the sake of the bigger picture. Not every situation needs a reaction. Choose your battles wisely and, in this situation, be the smarter one.

And most importantly, have a heart-to-heart conversation with your husband. Choose the right time—a time when both of you are calm, emotionally receptive and in the right frame of mind to discuss the situation as true partners.

Do not approach the conversation as “your mother versus me.” Approach it as “we are a team, and we need to protect our relationship.”

Remember, you and your husband are on the same team. When there is love, trust, respect and open communication between the two of you, outside influences have far less power over your marriage.

That, I believe, is the way forward—without creating more conflict, and while protecting both your marriage and your peace of mind.

I am a single mother, and at times not able to spend more time with my 11-year-old daughter due to work commitments. Lately, she has become quieter and more withdrawn. How do I explain my situation to her, so she understands without feeling neglected or unimportant? What are some ways I can reassure her of my love and support while balancing the demands of work?

Image Coach, Soft Skills Trainer - Answered on Sep 02, 2026

Asked by Anonymous - Jul 03, 2026

Ans: Hi!!

You and your daughter are a team! You share a connection that goes beyond human comprehension—it is a soul connection. So, trust yourself and trust your daughter.

She is eleven and soon to be a teenager. Her body and mind are going to undergo many changes, and that preparation has already begun. Her silence and withdrawal may not necessarily be entirely because of you.

Children are remarkably resilient. They understand very well what is happening around them and are often more willing to cooperate than we give them credit for. So, talk to her without guilt. You are doing a great job—you are working, providing for her, and taking care of your child. You really have to believe this yourself.

Being a mother is not an easy job, and you are a working single mother. Give yourself some credit for managing all of this. Be proud of yourself. That positivity and confidence will naturally rub off on your daughter.

I am going to focus on the solutions here.

You want to assure her that you love her and that you are always there for her. So, how do you go about doing this?

Just as you would sit across the table and discuss a problem at the office, I want you to create a similar ritual with your daughter. Every Sunday, sit together and plan the week ahead. Make it something you both look forward to.

Then, try to do something fun together each day. It could be as simple as taking a walk after dinner, playing a game together, reading together, or just sitting and talking. It does not have to be an elaborate activity. Even 20 minutes of meaningful, undivided time every day can make a difference.

You propose the activity and let her choose. Introduce this slowly, until it becomes a natural ritual between the two of you.

Children really don’t need anything expensive or fancy from you. They need your time, your attention, your presence—and those hugs.

One more very important aspect is giving her your undivided attention when she wants to talk to you. Stop whatever you are doing, face her, make eye contact, and listen to her. Let her feel that, at that moment, she has your complete attention.

And finally, try to leave the stress of office work outside the door of your home. When you are home, be completely involved in your home and with your daughter. Talk to her about your day, so that she feels comfortable talking to you about hers.

Have conversations—not just instructions and questions. Create a space where she knows that she can come to you with anything.

These are some simple, everyday ways of reconnecting with your daughter and, more importantly, reassuring her that she is loved, she is important, and you are always there for her.

Happy parenting! Wishing you the very best....

Mai 2024 me 12th pass hu aur abhi Tak jee mains ka form nahi bhara kya mai nios se fresh admission lekar fir se new marksheet ke base per jee mains ka form bhar sakta hu.

Ans: Lalji, Haan, aap kanooni taur par NIOS ke madhyam se naye sire se dakhila lekar sabhi vishayon ki dobara pariksha dekar apne ank sudhar sakte hain. Lekin vartamaan JEE Main niyamon ke anusaar, aapke pehli baar baarahvin kaksha ki pariksha dene wale varsh se lagataar teen varshon tak hi prayas kiye ja sakte hain (2024 se 2026 tak). Isliye NIOS ki nayi ankpatra milne se JEE Main 2027 ke liye patrata badhne ki sambhaavna nahi hai.

Kyunki JEE Main 2027 ki aadhikarik jaankari pustika abhi jaari nahi hui hai, isliye main aapko salah dunga ki November ya December 2026 ke aaspaas jaari hone wali aadhikarik jaankari pustika ko zaroor dekhein, taaki patrata niyamon mein kisi bhi badlaav ki jaankari mil sake.

Is beech, main aapko salah dunga ki apni pasand ke snatak paathyakramon ke liye apne pasandida sthaan ke upyukt mahavidyalayon se seedhe sampark karein. Yadi parivaar ke liye aarthik roop se sambhav ho, to aap prabandhan kota (Management Quota) ya sansthan star ki seeton ke vikalp bhi dekh sakte hain, lekin yah sambandhit patrata niyamon aur seeton ki uplabdhata par nirbhar karega. Pravesh prakriya ke antim charanon mein kuchh mahavidyalayon mein khaali seetein bhi uplabdh ho sakti hain. Aapke Ujjwal Aur Samruddh Bhavishya Ke Liye Dher Saari Shubhkaamnayein!

Good evening sir. I scored 56.92 % in 12th HSC state board and cumulatively 37 % in PCM group with electronics for bifocal in 2019. In my past two attempts, I have been unable to get the required MHT CET cut off for CSE. Am I eligible for admission to first year of engineering on basis of my score in 12th ? If yes, which colleges should I target ? Please guide me.

Nayagam P P |12550 Answers |Ask -Follow

Career Counsellor - Answered on Sep 02, 2026

Asked by Anonymous - Sep 01, 2026

Ans: Good Morning! Yes, but admission based on your 37% PCM score may not meet the standard eligibility criteria for Maharashtra engineering admissions. Generally, 45% marks in the prescribed Physics + Mathematics + one approved subject combination are required (40% for eligible reserved-category candidates).

Considering your situation, you may explore two options:

1. Improve your qualifying marks: Consider appearing for an improvement examination and, after meeting the eligibility criteria, explore suitable CSE options such as MIT-WPU, DY Patil, Ajeenkya DY Patil, JSPM, PCCOE and other colleges based on your academic profile, budget and admission availability.

2. Explore Management Quota (MQ)/Institute-Level seats: If financially feasible for your parents, you may also enquire with AICTE-approved colleges about Management Quota/Institute-Level seats, particularly where vacancies remain. However, eligibility requirements should be confirmed directly with the respective college before proceeding.

I would recommend improving your qualifying marks first, as it can provide you with a wider range of legitimate admission options. All The Best for Your Prosperous Future!

NEET, Medical, Pharmacy Careers - Answered on Sep 01, 2026

I am neet 2027 aspirant ...But I have 2 marksheets Primary Board: I passed my Class 12 (PCB stream) from the CBSE Board in the year 2025 overall pass. However, I received a Repeat Theory (RT) / Essential Repeat in Physics only Remedial Board: To clear my RT, I registered with the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) for Physics as a single subject only. I successfully passed both the theory and practical components of Physics via NIOS in the year 2026 Because I cleared my backlog the following year, I now hold a 2025 CBSE Marksheet (showing passes in Chemistry, Biology, and English) and a 2026 NIOS Marksheet (showing a pass in Physics). could you please clarify first the following: Am I fully eligible to register and sit for the NEET UG exam with this dual-marksheet combination from two different session years (2025 and 2026)? Will this difference in session years in different board marksheets cause any disqualification during the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) or state-level physical document verification? Because ALLEN AND PW AND ALL ARE SAYING THAT THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE BY NTA MCC ND COUNSELING PROCESS, allen is saying i should appear again in nios to sit for pcbe again so the i can get a single marksheet of single session year...and pw is saying that clearing a physics rt through nios is not permissible in neet counselling nd addmision process.....so am confused what to do now

Ans: HI,
GREETINGS FROM THE REDIFFGURUS!

Good question.

As you mentioned, both ALLEN and PW have provided two different opinions, which indicates that they do not have a clear understanding of the topic. If they are struggling to provide even simple information, it raises concerns about their ability to handle more complex subjects.

One advantage of NEET over JEE is the number of attempts allowed.

Firstly, understand that any number of attempts in Class 12 is permissible. If you are taking subjects that include practical components, you must appear for both the theory and practical exams, not just one or the other.

The NTA accepts two different board mark sheets. This was different before COVID, but now they accept them.

Therefore, they cannot disqualify you based on this. This is one of the reasons why the number of students appearing for the NEET exam is higher compared to JEE.

To gain more clarity, please do the following:
1. Kindly request the official government order from both ALLEN and PW.
2. If you have any confusion, I recommend downloading the information bulletin and using Google Lens to translate the details into whichever language you are more comfortable with. This will provide you with more clarity than relying solely on ALLEN and PW.

BEST WISHES.

Career Counsellor - Answered on Sep 01, 2026

Dear Sir I hope you are doing well. I would appreciate your guidance regarding the career prospects for students after completing a Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA). Could you please advise on the following: What are the best career opportunities available after BCA? Which technical and soft skills should students develop during their BCA to improve their employability? Are there any certifications, internships, or industry-recognized courses you would recommend? Would you suggest pursuing higher studies such as MCA or entering the job market immediately after graduation? Your expert advice will help us guide students in making informed decisions about their future career path. Thank you for your time and support. I look forward to your valuable suggestions. Kind regards,

Ans: Hem, To build a successful career in tech, balancing a university degree with active, hands-on skill development from day one is essential.1. Tech and Power Skills. Focus on creating a reliable foundation in core programming—mastering Data Structures and Algorithms (Python/Java), SQL, and version control (Git). For development tracks, focus on web technologies like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, and Node.js. Respected industry certifications, such as AWS Cloud Practitioner or Google Data Analytics, add major value to a resume. However, tech expertise only opens the door. Interpersonal capabilities secure long-term growth. Recruiters heavily prioritize soft skills like empathy, clear communication, adaptability, teamwork, and presentation skills. In fact, a report in the Times of India's Higher Education 2026 Edition highlights that technical skills account for just 15% of career success, while these "power skills" make up the remaining 85%. 2. Networking and Market Awareness. A degree becomes much more impactful when supported by a diverse portfolio. Dedicate time to building a strong professional profile through high-quality projects, internships, and relevant extracurricular activities. Cultivating a professional network on LinkedIn by connecting with peers, seniors, faculty, alumni, and industry professionals can expose hidden opportunities. Because the tech landscape evolves rapidly, monitoring industry trends and changing recruiter expectations is vital. Following current job postings and setting up tailored LinkedIn job alerts allows for the intentional alignment of personal projects and learning with actual market requirements long before final-year placements begin. All The Best for Your Prosperous Future!

Ans: You can opt for either the Humanities stream or the Commerce stream (without Mathematics). Highly suitable subject options include History, Political Science, Geography, Sociology, Psychology, Economics, Fine Arts, and Physical Education, which open pathways to fields like law, journalism, teaching, social work, and design. Please review the available subject combinations to choose what suits you best. Keep in mind that Commerce involves analytical coursework that some learners find relatively more demanding than Humanities.

Which one to choose if I have a keen interest in cse and coding,I got admission offer from tier 3 govt college(drsmru) in cse(specialisation:AI and financial management) and also from IIT Patna BS MS in AI and cybersecurity

Ans: Abhash, The IIT Patna hybrid BS programme may be a good option, provided the degree is properly recognised and you are disciplined, self-motivated, and willing to take responsibility for developing your skills independently. While a recognised hybrid/online degree can offer strong academic and career value, remember that employer eligibility criteria may vary from one organisation to another.

Compared with a Tier-3 CSE college where on-campus placement opportunities are relatively limited, an IIT programme can potentially provide greater advantages through its institutional brand, academic environment, peer learning, alumni network and broader exposure to career opportunities. However, the long-term value of the programme will largely depend on how effectively you utilise these opportunities.

Ans: HI MOUSUMI,
GREETINGS FROM THE REDIFFGURUS!
I believe you might have received an opportunity based on your rank. While filling out your options, you should have recognized which colleges are considered premier. If you don’t secure a spot in a premier college initially, you may still have a chance in later rounds. Don’t just rely on student reviews; since both colleges are government-funded, it can be difficult to differentiate between them. You can make a decision based on the year of establishment and by visiting their websites to understand their pros and cons. If you have any doubts, since you live in Kolkata, you could visit the campuses to gather your own insights before making comments. Focus on the facilities rather than just the buildings.

Hi Preeya,

Yes, he can opt for NIOS to complete his 12th grade. However, achieving a score of 60% is much easier compared to securing a seat in MBBS. A 60% in 12th grade is not enough, especially since the requirement is based on a 50% aggregate for categories other than SC and ST. He will need to put in significant effort, and you and parents must support him to achieve his goals. Additionally, he should have some basic math knowledge to tackle the physics subject questions in NEET paper, which often require problem-solving skills. Please make your/his decisions accordingly.

Yes, it is accepted by the NTA. However, given your score, securing a medical seat will be very challenging. If you want to improve your score, you need to put in a lot of effort. Otherwise, consider exploring other health-related courses that are listed in the NTA prospectus. Please understand that I am not trying to discourage you; this is simply a fact. Many people underestimate the importance of math, but basic mathematics is necessary to solve problems in the physics section of the NEET exam.

If you are determined, you need to plan accordingly and dedicate yourself to achieving your goal. The choice is yours.

Sir I took admission to uvce cse after kcet round 2 results. Should I take part in round 3 of kcet now? I missed cse at bmsce by 335 ranks (general merit category) Will my original documents be given back? They also made us enter our details in the college ledger of uvce which was part of the admission process. I am also scared because of the huge seat intake of bmsce.Should I stay with uvce or is bmsce worth applying for next round ? Where do I have better placements guaranteed?

Ans: It is better to stay with UVCE CSE. You might be ineligible for KCET Round 3 after taking admission. UVCE offers better ROI, lower fees, and strong CSE placements; BMSCE’s higher intake doesn’t guarantee better outcomes. Over the next four years, focus on continuously strengthening your technical and non-technical skills, building a strong project and internship profile, and developing a professional network through LinkedIn with college faculty, seniors, alumni and professionals in your areas of interest. Also, keep yourself updated with evolving industry and job-market trends so that you can plan and prepare effectively for campus placements by the time you reach your final year.

Sir like according to the new kea rules they told us to take admission for our round 2 allotment and then take part in round 3. So if I'm eligible would you suggest going for bmsce?

Ans: In the 2025 NIRF Engineering rankings, UVCE was ranked 99th, while BMSCE was placed in the 151–200 rank band. This difference reflects various NIRF parameters, including research, graduation outcomes, institutional performance and other factors, along with differences in student intake. BMSCE’s CSE intake has also increased significantly, from 336 students in 2023 to 1,200 from 2024 onwards, which could potentially lead to greater competition among students for placement opportunities. However, it is important to remember that placements are never guaranteed by any college, including IITs. Placement outcomes depend on several factors, including students’ skills, internships, projects, communication abilities and overall employability profile; academic performance is certainly important, but it is only one of the factors considered by recruiters. Considering UVCE’s relatively smaller intake and its established placement record, I would therefore suggest continuing with UVCE-CSE rather than changing to BMSCE solely for the college name or perceived placement advantage.

Sir, my son has already taken admission in BITS Goa campus for dual degree with M.Sc. Maths. Now, in MHT CET rounds, he got Chemical Engineering in ICT Mumbai. We are confused whether to accept Chemical Engineering in ICT or continue in BITS Goa with dual degree in Maths. Seek your guidance.

Ans: Anagha Madam, ICT Mumbai Chemical Engineering may certainly be considered, given the institute’s excellent reputation, particularly if your son has a genuine interest in Chemical Engineering (after checking BITS Refund Policy). However, I generally recommend giving higher priority to the branch that aligns with his interests and strengths and that he would be comfortable pursuing over the next 4–5 years, rather than choosing an institution solely for its reputation. If Chemical Engineering is not his preferred area, continuing with BITS Goa – M.Sc. Mathematics would be a more suitable option. All The Best for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Sir, I need advice on which option is better BMS cs(business system) or BMS ec and i wanted to know if CS(BS) students are eligible for placements for core CS jobs or are they only eligible for fintech companies?

Ans: Aditya, both are good choices. However, if your goal is to pursue software/CS-oriented roles such as SDE, product engineering, data/ML, etc., BMS-CS (Business Systems) may be the more suitable choice over BMS ECE. CS (Business Systems) students can generally explore a broad range of software and technology placements and are not limited to fintech companies. Over the next four years, focus on continuously strengthening your technical and non-technical skills, building a strong project and internship profile, and developing a professional network through LinkedIn with college faculty, seniors, alumni and professionals in your areas of interest.

**Question for Rediff Guru: Guidance for Becoming a Commercial Pilot** My nephew is from Hyderabad and has a strong interest in becoming a commercial airline pilot. He is currently completing his B.Tech in Computer Science and is also in the process of clearing a few academic backlogs. We would like to understand the correct pathway for him from this stage. Could you please guide us on the following: 1. **Eligibility:** Can he pursue commercial pilot training while completing/after completing his B.Tech and clearing his backlogs? 2. **Medical tests:** What medical examinations should he complete **before spending money on any aviation training**? Should he first undergo a DGCA Class 2 medical and then Class 1 medical? Are there any specific tests for eyesight, colour vision, hearing, BMI, ECG, etc. that we should be particularly concerned about? 3. **Entrance/exams:** What DGCA examinations such as **DGCA CPL papers, EASA/FAA exams**, or other tests would he need to take? 4. **Training pathway:** Since we are based in Hyderabad, would you recommend starting flight training in India or going abroad? 5. **Best flight schools:** Which are the **best and most reliable flying schools in India** for CPL training? We are particularly interested in schools with good safety records, aircraft availability, experienced instructors and a good track record of students completing training on time. 6. **Training abroad:** Would you recommend countries such as the **USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada or South Africa** for his CPL training? What are the advantages and disadvantages compared with India? 7. **Airline career:** If the ultimate goal is to become an airline pilot with airlines such as IndiGo, Air India, Akasa Air, etc., which training route would give him the best prospects? 8. **Cost and duration:** What would be a realistic **total budget and timeframe**, including flight training, accommodation, exams, medicals, DGCA conversion/licensing, type rating and other expenses? 9. **B.Tech decision:** Since he is already pursuing B.Tech CSE, should he **complete the degree first**, or would it make sense to start pilot training alongside/after clearing his backlogs? 10. **Risks:** What are the major mistakes families should avoid when selecting a flying school or paying a large amount upfront? We would especially appreciate a **step-by-step roadmap from Hyderabad**, starting with the medical assessment and academic requirements and ending with obtaining a CPL and becoming eligible for an airline pilot job. If possible, please also suggest **2–3 flying schools in India and 2–3 overseas options** that you would personally shortlist for a student from Hyderabad, along with the approximate cost and expected training duration.

My nephew is from Hyderabad and wants to become a commercial airline pilot. He is currently completing his B.Tech in Computer Science and has a few academic backlogs that he is working to clear. Before we spend any money on pilot training, I want to establish whether he is medically and academically eligible. Could you please explain: 1. What are the current DGCA eligibility requirements for obtaining a Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL), particularly the requirements for Class 12 Physics and Mathematics and whether completing a B.Tech degree affects or helps his eligibility? 2. Can he begin the pilot-training process while completing his B.Tech/backlogs, or should he complete his degree first? 3. What medical examinations should he undergo first? Should he start with a DGCA Class 2 medical and then proceed to Class 1? 4. What specific areas should we check carefully before investing in training—especially eyesight, colour vision, hearing, BMI, ECG, blood tests or any other medical requirements? Please give me a clear step-by-step recommendation for what he should do from Hyderabad before spending any significant money on flight training.

Ans: Again, there are too many queries embedded in a single question. Sorry to say, I have to search for some information online. Requesting you to take it as information only. It is better to read the official brochure of the respective college/course before confirming admission or solely depending on our advice. Here is the reply to your multiple queries.

Yes. Before spending on flight training, medical clearance should come first.

Academic eligibility: For DGCA CPL, he must have passed 10+2 with Physics and Mathematics (or an accepted equivalent). His B.Tech does not replace this requirement, but the degree itself is not required for CPL.
B.Tech/backlogs: He does not need to finish B.Tech before starting pilot training, provided his 10+2 Physics/Maths requirement is already satisfied. However, given the backlogs, I would prioritize clearing them while beginning the medical/ground work process rather than paying a large FTO fee immediately.
Medical sequence: Start with a DGCA Class 2 medical, then obtain Class 1 before committing substantial training money. Class 1 initial medical is available from age 17.
Check particularly: eyesight and refractive error, color vision, hearing/audiometry, BP/heart/ECG, general physical and neurological health, urine/blood investigations, and any history of significant illness/surgery. There is not a universal BMI “pass/fail” cutoff—the DGCA medical examiner assesses overall fitness.
From Hyderabad, my recommended order:
(a) verify his 12th marksheet has Physics + Maths → (b) book a DGCA Class 2 with an approved examiner → (c) if Class 2 is satisfactory, proceed to Class 1 → (d) only after a favorable Class 1 assessment, shortlist DGCA-approved FTOs and pay substantial training fees.

DGCA Pariksha official eligibility information

Most important: don't rely on an ordinary eye/health check alone; get the actual DGCA medical assessment before making the major financial commitment.

Good luck.

Sir, kindly advice which option my son should select for his engineering degree amongst below 3 options. Preference wise what should be No 1, 2 & 3? 1.) IIIT Gwalior - Maths & Computing 4 Yrs BTech 2.) COEP Pune - CSE 4 Yrs BTech 3.) BITS Pilani campus - 5 Yrs Dual Degree with MSc Maths. We are confused in above seats which he got allotment. Regards!

Ans: Sadanand Sir, all three are good choices with their own strengths. However, the preference order could be (1) COEP – CSE, as it is a relatively lower-risk option with a strong legacy and Rs.17.31 LPA average CTC in 2024–25; (2) IIIT Gwalior – MnC, although if your son has a strong interest in Mathematics, Computing, AI or related areas, this could even be considered as the first choice; and (3) BITS Pilani – M.Sc. Mathematics, which offers an excellent reputation and academic ecosystem, but involves some uncertainty since a preferred CSE/circuit branch is not guaranteed and depends on first-year performance, besides requiring higher fees and an additional year.

Asked by Anonymous - Aug 24, 2026

Ans: There is no need to shift to CBSE from Class 8. ICSE provides a strong foundation in Mathematics and Science, and your daughter can manage ICSE + NCERT + JEE foundation coaching with proper planning. However, shifting to CBSE for Classes 11–12 may be advantageous because its curriculum aligns more closely with NCERT and JEE preparation, whereas ISC is broader and more descriptive, requiring additional effort. Many serious JEE aspirants from ICSE backgrounds therefore switch boards after Class 10 to streamline preparation. Hence, ICSE till Class 10, followed by CBSE for Classes 11–12, can be a practical strategy. All The Best for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future!

If you are from Uttar Pradesh (UP) and are looking to get into KMC Mangalore, you have a moderate chance through the All India Quota and possibly during the mop-up or stray rounds.

If you prefer to pursue your studies in UP itself, don't worry. You can enroll in any medical college; just choose one by visiting their website to get an idea of your options. The reason I say not to worry is that during your postgraduate studies, you can select better institutions since an MBBS is a foundational degree.

Ans: Your son’s concerns about Amrita Faridabad’s infrastructure, classroom environment, campus life and strict dress code are understandable, and it is important that he feels comfortable with his four-year academic environment. You may consider (1) contacting Amrita immediately to explore a campus/branch change to Coimbatore, Amritapuri or Bengaluru, if permitted; (2) taking a drop and reattempting JEE 2027 or other entrances such as BITSAT, VITEEE , MET, AEEE, or the entrance exams of Private Engineering Colleges in and around your State. if he has strong potential and is keen on a better option; (3) continuing at Faridabad while proactively developing AI/DS skills through projects, Kaggle, Coursera and internships; or (4) exploring transfer possibilities after the first year, subject to eligibility and availability. Overall, avoid making a rushed decision; compare the realistic alternatives carefully and choose the option offering the best combination of academic quality, infrastructure, campus experience, career opportunities and your son’s willingness to commit to the programme.

Nayagam P P |12550 Answers |Ask -Follow

Career Counsellor - Answered on Aug 19, 2026

Asked by Anonymous - Aug 18, 2026

Ans: Yes. Based on the latest NTA rules, passing NIOS in October 2024, with the result declared in January 2025, makes you a 2024 qualifying-examination candidate. Therefore, you should be eligible for JEE Main 2027, subject to the final 2027 bulletin. “Session 2024–25” on your NIOS ID card does not change the passing year. However, please note that, based on the current eligibility criteria, you are unlikely to be eligible for JEE Advanced 2027. The official JEE Advanced 2027 information brochure has not yet been released, so the final eligibility should be confirmed once the official guidelines are published.

Meanwhile, I strongly recommend keeping at least 4–5 alternative options by applying to other engineering entrance examinations, including private university exams and your state’s engineering entrance/counselling process using your JEE Main score. This will provide a safer and more flexible admission strategy rather than relying solely on JEE. All The Best for Your Prosperous Future!
