Ans: Hello Tech.
A candidate can attempt JEE Advanced only twice in two consecutive years after passing Class 12. If you pass Class 12 from NIOS in 2025, you will be eligible for JEE Advanced in 2025 and 2026. But be sure to score min 75% in the NIOS board exam for JEE (Adv) eligibility. Best of luck to you for your upcoming examinations.

Ans: Hello Harshita.
Actually while filling out the form and that too second time, one has to take immense care. Yet, you can change it. But wait for the "Correction Window" opened by NTA. Regularly visit the NTA-JEE web site for announcements.

Ans: Online studies can help become a psychologist, depending on your career goals and the level of psychology you want to pursue. For clinical psychologists, online degrees alone may not be enough for licensing, while industrial/organizational psychologists and academic/research psychologists require a Ph.D. or PsyD. Online certifications are usually sufficient for coaching, HR, or behavioral specialists. Best online psychology degrees worldwide include a bachelor's or master's in psychology, a master's in psychology, or a doctorate. Some universities offer online master's programs for career changers, but it is essential to ensure the program is accredited by the relevant psychology board in your target country. After an online psychology degree, you can work in various psychology-related fields, such as counseling, corporate HR, mental health support, behavioral science, and academic and research psychology. Accreditation matters, licensing requirements, and choosing a specialization carefully are crucial for success in the field. All the best for your Prosperous Future!

Ans: Yes, you can invest the total Rs 60 lakh in a single residential flat to claim capital gains exemption under Section 54 of the Income Tax Act. However, there are a few conditions you must follow:

Key Conditions for Claiming Exemption
The new property must be a residential house. It should not be commercial or under construction beyond the allowed timeline.

The investment should be within the allowed time frame. You must buy the new flat within 2 years from the date of sale or construct it within 3 years.

You can use the amount from multiple sales. Even if you sell different floors of your property to different buyers, you can reinvest the total capital gain in one residential flat.

The capital gains account balance should be used within the allowed period. You must invest the Rs 30 lakh in the new house before February 2026. Otherwise, it will become taxable.

Important Considerations
If the new property costs less than Rs 60 lakh, the unused capital gain will be taxed.

The exemption applies only to long-term capital gains. If any portion of your gain is short-term, it will not qualify for exemption.

You must not sell the new property for at least 3 years. If you sell it before 3 years, the exemption will be reversed, and you must pay tax on the gains.

Final Insights
Yes, you can invest Rs 60 lakh in one flat and claim exemption under Section 54.

Ensure that you buy the new property within 2 years or construct it within 3 years.

Keep proper documentation for all transactions to avoid issues with the tax department.

If you need more clarity, consult a tax expert before making the final investment.
