Hi, My son was born in US and he came back when he was young about 3yrs old. He has had his education from 1st STD to 11th in Mumbai, in India. He is a PIO/OCI card holder. When he applies to engineering colleges in India 1 yr from now, JEE will consider him as general category since he is doing 12th in Mumbai itself. Both parents holding domicile status in Maharashtra, What about his admission category for state Engineering colleges /REC /NIT/VIT etc. What about admission to Karnataka or Kerala in this case. Is there a possibility to get general category admission in this case anywhere in India. ?

Ans: Your Son will come under 'General Category' Only for admission into any Govt or Private Colleges. Your Son can appear for MHT-CET as it his home state and also COMEDK which is open for the Students all over India for admission into any one of the Private Colleges in Bengaluru/Karnataka. Your son can even try for admission into any Private College in Kerala through KEAM (Kerala Engineering, Architecture, and Medical Entrance Exam). Other options are: SITEEE of Symbiosis-Pune, BITSAT of BITS Pilani, PES University of Bengaluru, KIITEE of Kalinga-Bhubaneswar, AEEE of Amrita University, MET of Manipal, SRMJEE & VITEEE. Or you can try for Management Quota Seat also. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future.

Career

Hi, My son was born in US and he came back with his mother and father -us, when he was young about 3yrs old. He has had his education from 1st STD to 11th - current, in India. He is a oci card holder. When he applies to engineering colleges in India 1 yr from now, will he be considered as an NRI or in general category like all other Indian students. Please confirm

Ans: Pravin Sir, as far as OCI status is concerned, please note (reproduced here the 'State of Eligibility' given on Page No.21 of JEE Information Bulletin 2024), "The State Code of Eligibility for OCI passing the class 12 (or equivalent) examination in India is at part with Indian Nationals. However, OCI passing the class 12 (or equivalent) examination from an institution abroad are eligible for other State Quota Seats or All India Quota Seats (but NOT for Home State Quota Seats) in all NITs, IIITs & Other CFTIs". As far as NRI status is concerned, your son should have completed his 12th from abroad only. And he will be considered as a 'General Category' applicant only. All the BEST for Your Son's Bright Future.

Sir can you guide about abroad institute for neuropsychology after mbbs.Or road map from MBBS to neuropsychology

Ans: Hello Arvinder,

Firstly, thank you for reaching out to us. To answer your question, if you're an MBBS graduate looking to pursue neuropsychology abroad, the typical roadmap would involve first gaining a solid foundation in psychology or neuroscience, often through a master's or post-graduate diploma. Many institutes offer specialized courses or programs in neuropsychology, such as those at universities in the UK, US, or Canada. You'd want to look for programs that bridge the gap between medicine and psychology, like MSc in Neuropsychology or Clinical Neuroscience. After completing your postgraduate degree, you might consider further research or clinical training opportunities, often leading to a PhD or professional certifications. You’ll be combining your medical background with psychological expertise to understand brain-behavior relationships, which is a fascinating field!

Hello sir, my name is Priya I got 77.81%ile (OBC NCL) in jee mains 2025. Can I get seat in any nit or iiit with any branch, home state Telangana. Also also sir any suggestions to increase my percentile in April attempt?

Ans: Hello Priya
as per last year's cutoff you are not eligible for JOSAA counselling. You can improve your score and get admissions in your dream college. Control negatives, don't give into the temptation of marking the option if you are not sure, options are designed that way, you commit a mistake and you will get a wrong answer there waiting to be marked.
30-35 questions correctly answered without any negative marking can get you your desired college.
All the best.
