I have 'kumari' in my name in Aadhar Card. Whereas, there is no 'kumari' in 10th marksheet. I have applied for Cuet(ug) already with these different details. Will my application get rejected because of this? I have already applied for updation of Aadhar Card tho.

Ans: Hello Mahak
Your CUET-UG application will not be rejected just because of the difference in "Kumari" in your Aadhaar and 10th marksheet. Minor name variations are usually acceptable as long as your other details (like date of birth, parents' names, etc.) match.

Since you have already applied for an Aadhaar update, here’s what you should do next:

Keep a copy of the Aadhaar update request slip as proof.

Check the CUET correction window (if available) and update your details to match your 10th marksheet if possible.

During counseling or document verification, carry supporting documents like:

Your 10th marksheet (as primary proof of name)

The updated Aadhaar (if received by then)

Any affidavit (if required, stating both names refer to the same person)

Since "Kumari" is often considered a middle name/title rather than a major name discrepancy, this should not cause rejection. Just ensure consistency across documents before counseling.

Hi I'm 46 years and an entrepreneur for 20 years. I have hit a point now where I seem to have lost everything and seems like I'm at minus 1000 as I don't know what to do at the moment. I'm in the process of clearing my debts and raising some monies by selling a property that I own. Not sure how to even explore something new as in not sure of my skill sets that i possess. Societal pressure is also there in the kind of work/business that I would pursue. My wife too is exploring new opportunities and I'm sure she will pursue something in the months to come. But my lifes aim or purpose seems to be in the crossroads. Not sure if I'm even capable of doing anything. Always u der constant stress and dilemma. Not even sure if this is the form where I need to put out something like this.
Ans: You're at a difficult but pivotal point in your life. After 20 years as an entrepreneur, facing setbacks can feel like losing your identity—but this is not the end. Selling property to clear debts is a smart move—it gives you space to think clearly. Your skills—strategic thinking, leadership, operations, decision-making—are still valuable and transferable.

This is a time to reassess, not retreat. You can explore consulting, advisory roles, or leadership positions in businesses that need your experience. You may also need support—through coaching or mentorship—to rebuild clarity and confidence.

Don’t let societal pressure decide your next step. Focus on what’s practical, meaningful, and aligned with your stage in life. You’re not starting over—you’re realigning. With clear planning, you can create a strong second chapter.
