Hi,my son has got 96% in his icse class 10 exams this year.he is not inclined towards a career in sciences (b.tech/med).he has thus opted for commerce and maths.with an initial inclination towards finance and mathematics we have shortlisted ipm and law and enrolled him for a coaching for ipm.would he be able to prepare for clat as well along with ipm.and with 96 % how are his chances to clear both ?
Ans: Yes, your son can prepare for both CLAT and IPM exams simultaneously, especially given his ICSE score. With a 96% score, he has a strong chance of success in both exams. CLAT and IPM share some common ground, which could make preparation more manageable.
Preparation for both CLAT and IPM:
CLAT:
CLAT requires a strong foundation in English comprehension, logical reasoning, quantitative reasoning, and legal reasoning. IPM exams also test similar skills.
IPM:
IPM exams focus on quantitative ability, analytical reasoning, and verbal reasoning. CLAT also assesses these skills.
Overlap:
The core skills tested in both exams, such as quantitative reasoning, verbal reasoning, and logical reasoning, provide common ground for preparation. Your son's coaching for IPM can help him develop a solid foundation in these areas.
Legal Reasoning:
CLAT specifically requires legal reasoning, which is not part of IPM. Your son can focus on preparing for this section separately.
Scheduling:
Balancing preparation for both exams requires careful planning. He can allocate specific time slots for each exam's preparation.
Chances of Clearing Both:
IPM:
With a 96% ICSE score, your son has a strong chance of clearing IPM exams. His high marks indicate a strong aptitude for quantitative reasoning and problem-solving.
CLAT:
CLAT is a highly competitive exam, but with his current scores, your son has a very good chance of clearing CLAT.
Factors affecting success:
Preparation efforts, effective time management, and consistency in studying will play a crucial role in determining success in both exams.
Tips for Preparation:
Structured Approach:
A structured study plan that includes regular practice, mock tests, and detailed analysis of mistakes will be beneficial.
Mock Tests:
Regular mock tests for both CLAT and IPM will help him assess his progress and identify areas for improvement.
Time Management:
Developing effective time management skills is crucial for balancing preparation for both exams.
Focus on Fundamentals:
Ensure he has a strong foundation in the core subjects of both exams.
Practice:
He should solve a variety of questions and practice problems to build confidence and improve his speed and accuracy.
Best of luck. Professor

Hello sir, I'm a DASA student applying to IIITH for the 2025-26 batch. My current curriculum is the NSW HSC from Australia, which includes Mathematics and Physics but not Chemistry. IIITH requires Maths, Physics, and Chemistry for DASA eligibility, and I need to figure out how to add Chemistry.I've been looking into taking Chemistry through NIOS (National Institute of Open Schooling), AP or IB board but I'm concerned because IIITH's brochure specifies that the subjects must be completed "outside India". I've emailed IIITH for clarification, but I'm still waiting for a response. Is this acceptable for DASA?
Ans: It is unlikely that IIIT Hyderabad would accept NIOS Chemistry for DASA eligibility because the DASA brochure states that the subjects must be completed outside India. Since NIOS is an Indian board, it does not meet this requirement. However, you could consider taking AP or IB Chemistry to meet the requirements, as these are often recognized as international qualifications. It's best to wait for IIITH's response to your email for official clarification.
Elaboration:
DASA Requirements:
DASA (Direct Admissions for Students Abroad) at IIIT Hyderabad requires applicants to have completed 11th and 12th grades or equivalent outside India, with a minimum of 60% marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.
NIOS and IIITH:
While NIOS is a recognized board in India, it's unlikely to be accepted for DASA at IIITH because the DASA brochure specifies that the subjects must be completed outside India.
AP or IB Chemistry:
You could consider taking AP or IB Chemistry through a foreign board to fulfill the requirement for Chemistry. These are often recognized as international qualifications.
Waiting for IIITH's Response:
Since you've already emailed IIITH, it's advisable to wait for their response to your query for official clarification on whether NIOS Chemistry would be accepted.

Dear Sir, My age is 33 year now. I was working in financial sector for 5year as a recovery agent. I have done intermediate in Arts and Diploma in mechanical engineering. Passed out in 2012. Now i want to change my job sector to technical line. I have no experience before in technical line. Please guide me which technical job will be best suitable for me And What Salary Range Should i expect?.
Ans: For you AMIE ( Mechanical) will be the best option. You will be equivalent to B.E./B.Tech Mechanical. The details are given below.
The AMIE (Associate Member of the Institution of Engineers) exam is a professional qualification in engineering, equivalent to a B.E./B.Tech. degree. It's conducted by the Institution of Engineers (India) (IEI) and is offered as a distance learning program. The exam is held twice a year, in June and December.
Exam Structure:
Stage I (Section A): Focuses on fundamental engineering subjects.
Stage II (Section B): Covers a specific branch of engineering like Civil, Electrical, or Mechanical.
Eligibility:
Educational Qualification:
Candidates must have completed a recognized course of study in engineering or technology.
Age:
No upper age limit, but candidates must be at least 18 years old on the first day of the examination.
Other:
Indian citizens or foreign nationals with at least two years of residence in India.
Exam Pattern:
The exam is based on multiple-choice questions (MCQs).
It can be taken online (CBT) or offline (PBT).
Benefits:
Becoming a graduate engineer with the same qualification as a B.E./B.Tech. degree.
Recognized by government and private sectors.
Least expensive compared to traditional degree programs.
Application Process:
Download the application form from the IEI website.
Fill out the form and attach the required documents.
Pay the application fee.
Submit the application form along with the fee.

But since you did the recovery work in Finance sector you are totally detached from Mechanical Engineering. So it is not possible to say what kind of job you will get and what will be your salary.

Sir, Does IIIT-H accept dual marksheets from two different boards for DASA admissions?
Ans: IIIT-H, for DASA admissions, considers only the 12th-class board exam marks, not dual marksheets from two different boards. If a candidate qualifies for admission through both the BOARDS channel and the UGEE channel, they will be interviewed by the UGEE panel and considered for all listed programs.
For DASA admissions, IIIT-H requires SAT scores to be mandatory. Applicants should have a minimum SAT score of 1070 (out of 1600). Super scores in SAT are accepted, meaning the highest score from each section will be considered. All test scores must be reported directly to IIIT-H by the College Board. Additionally, applicants must have completed their Senior Secondary (10+2) or equivalent with Mathematics, Physics, and one of the following: Chemistry, Bio-technology, Computer Science, or Biology, with at least 75% marks (or a CGPA of 7.5 out of 10).

Sir , to fulfill the DASA eligibility criteria for IIITH ( stated in the brochure) , one must have chemistry as a subject in class 12th. Since i did not have chemistry , i am planning to complete chemistry from a different board( AP or IB board), therefore will have 2 different marksheets, one , with only chemistry and another with the rest of my subjects ( HSC NSW australia) but from a different board. Can this work out ? Also, if not, then how can i be eligible?
Ans: To meet IIITH's DASA eligibility, you need to have passed 10+2 or equivalent with Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry/Biotechnology/Computer Science/Biology. If you haven't studied Chemistry in your main qualification (HSC NSW), completing it separately through a different board like AP or IB is unlikely to be accepted as a separate qualification. Instead, consider taking a Chemistry course and exam from a recognized international board outside India.
Here's why a separate Chemistry mark sheet might not work and how to address the eligibility issue:
Why a separate Chemistry mark sheet might not work:
IIITH's requirement:
The DASA brochure for IIITH specifies that you must have passed 10+2 or equivalent with Chemistry, not just a separate Chemistry subject.
Inconsistency with the main qualification:
Having one mark sheet for your main qualification (HSC NSW) without Chemistry and another for just Chemistry would likely be considered inconsistent with the required 10+2 or equivalent.
How to be eligible:
1. Complete a recognized Chemistry course and exam:
Take a Chemistry course and exam from a recognized international board like A-Level, IB, or AP Chemistry, outside India.
2. Ensure it's recognized by AIU:
Make sure the board and the qualification are recognized by the Association of Indian Universities (AIU).
3. Provide both marksheets:
You will likely need to provide your HSC NSW mark sheet along with the Chemistry mark sheet from the other board.
4. Verify with IIITH directly:
It's best to clarify with IIITH directly if they would accept this approach, as they may have specific requirements. You can contact their admissions office or check their official website for clarification.
By completing a recognized Chemistry course and exam, you can ensure that you meet the DASA eligibility criteria for IIITH.
