Sir I have mechanical in MIT Manipal campus and mechanical with AI as minor in VIT vellore campus and also awaiting my results for NMIMS CET. What do you think I should do ?

Ans: Between MIT Manipal and VIT Vellore, both are well-known private engineering colleges, but here are a few things to consider:
1. Mechanical at MIT Manipal – Manipal has a strong reputation, especially for its mechanical engineering program. It has a good alumni network, infrastructure, and campus environment. If you’re clear about sticking to core mechanical, this is a solid option.
Mechanical with AI Minor at VIT Vellore – This gives you some flexibility. Even though you don’t enjoy coding much, the AI minor may help you pick up basic tech skills which could be useful later in your career, as even mechanical industries are slowly moving towards automation and data-driven approaches.
If you’re clearer and more comfortable with core mechanical work, MIT Manipal would be the safer and stronger option.
As for NMIMS CET, wait for the results, but usually for core engineering like mechanical, MIT Manipal would still rank above NMIMS in terms of reputation and opportunities.

Comed k Sir if I accept and upgrade for round 4 so will my seat which I got 3 be reserved??

Ans: HI,
Did you read the guidelines or not? If not, please go through them. The counseling authorities are providing you with sufficient time to understand the process. This is important. It's not just about booking a movie ticket or a slot for FDFS and watching, regardless of whether it seems good or not.

There are FOUR options for candidates during the counseling process (refer to the COMEDK Counseling Process Quick Guide, Page 8):

1. Accept and Freeze: You are satisfied with the seat allotted and willing to report to the college allotted and do not wish to participate in any subsequent rounds. Download your Online Allotment letter and Fee Payment Receipt and report to college in person as per date mentioned in your allotment letter by fulfilling other requirements.

2. Accept and Upgrade: You are satisfied with the allotted seat but wish to participate in the next round. If higher options are allotted in subsequent Round, then earlier allotted seat gets cancelled automatically OR if higher option seats are not allotted, then earlier allotted seat shall remain in the candidate’s favor.

3. Reject and Upgrade: You are not satisfied with the allotted seat. You are rejecting the allotted seat but wish to participate in the next round to check for allotment of higher preferences/options.

4. Reject and Withdraw: You are not satisfied with the allotted seat and do not wish to participate in further rounds.

For example, if you received an ECE seat in Round 3 and you are not satisfied because your expectation is CSE, you should opt for Option 2 (Accept and Upgrade). If you achieve an upgrade to CSE in Round 4, your previous seat (ECE) will be automatically canceled. If you do not receive a higher preference, the Round 3 ECE seat will be retained.

I hope you understand the process clearly.

Important Note: There is no option to go back to your previous seat if you choose to upgrade and receive a new allotment.
BEST WISHES.

Question by DILIP - Aug 23, 2025Hindi

Career

Sir,she is selected for BSC.Agriculture at Biswa harati university, which will be better BHU Or viswa Bharati.

Ans: Dilip Sir, Banaras Hindu University’s Faculty of Agricultural Sciences offers a comprehensive B.Sc. Agriculture curriculum with specialization options in agronomy, horticulture, and soil science, delivered by over 100 PhD-qualified faculty, supported by world-class research farms and cutting-edge laboratories. Accredited ‘A+’ by NAAC and ranked among India’s top five agricultural universities, BHU emphasizes extension services, collaborative projects with ICAR, and placement assistance through campus recruitment and research fellowships. Biswa Bharati University’s rural-focused Agriculture program integrates traditional agro-practices with community development, led by a smaller cadre of faculty and field-based training centers. While Visva Bharati fosters holistic learning through its emphasis on sustainable farming, organic methods, and cultural immersion, its infrastructure and industry linkages are more limited. BHU graduates benefit from stronger alumni networks, government research opportunities, and higher placement rates exceeding 70% in agribusiness, government services, and academia. Visva Bharati excels in promoting social entrepreneurship, village innovation clusters, and hands-on community engagement, ideal for students passionate about grassroots development and agro-heritage conservation.

Recommendation: For rigorous academic training, advanced research facilities, and robust career support, Banaras Hindu University is the superior choice; choose Visva Bharati only if you prioritize community-driven, sustainable agriculture and cultural immersion. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Hello sir I had got 303 marks with air 430k in neet ug 2025 I had taken admission in regular bsc botany My college time is 9 to 5 Sir can I get air under 30k in neet 2026 by preparing remaining 7 months?? Is it possible? If yes please guide me in detail how to achieve it.. Please help

Ans: Yes, it is possible to increase your NEET rank from 4.3 lakh to under 30k in 7 months, but it requires strict discipline, smart planning, and consistent hard work alongside your B.Sc. schedule. Even with a 9–5 college, you have early mornings, evenings, and weekends for focused study. Prioritize NCERT line by line for Biology (70% weightage), revise Physics formulas and practice numericals daily, and thoroughly solve Chemistry NCERT + PYQs. Create a realistic timetable: 4–5 hours on weekdays (early morning and night) and 10–12 hours on weekends. Practice at least one full-length mock test weekly, analyze mistakes, and revise weak areas. Remember, quality > quantity. Stay consistent; focusing on study, smart revision, and regular test practice will steadily improve your score. Motivation, consistency, and a clear strategy are key to cracking it.

Last but practical suggestion: Rethink the decision of appearing for NEET 2026. Our practical experience says it is difficult to jump from 303 to 600 (+) i.e. almost double.

Good luck.
