My daughter is in 11th Class now and wants to become CA. The school in which she is studying is not having Commerce with math. what should i do

Ans: If your daughter wants to become a Chartered Accountant (CA), she can continue in the same school without Math at the 11th and 12th level. To cover the math gap, enroll her in private coaching for basic commerce math and encourage self-study with online resources. If she is confident and comfortable with changing schools, consider a Commerce + Math school (difficult to change but can try). If not changing schools, consider NCERT or CBSE Math Books, joining a Math Tuition, or choosing an additional math course. Although Mathematics is not a requirement, having a basic understanding will make some parts of the course easier. With dedication and hard work, she can pursue CA successfully even without Math in 11th and 12th.

All the Best for Your Daughter's Bright Future. Follow RediffGURUS to Know more on 'Careers | Health | Money | Relationships'.

Career

Hi Neeraj, My daughter secured 84% in 10th CBSE and has taken admission in CBSE Commerce with Entreprenuership as the optional subject instead of mathematics. She doesn't have much interest in Maths and science. We are not clear whether she should go ahead doing CA or MBA? If she wants to pursue CA and as mentioned earlier has not taken maths will that be an impediment while preparing for CA? Also could you please advise on some other career options? Thank you.

Ans: CA without maths is also possible. But is she ok with numbers? Like Profit/Loss, discounts etc. Coz Maths in CA is less but it is the financial maths. No trigonometry, no geometry, less algebra, more of banking, stocks, insurance, financial maths. She might not be interested in core maths, but is she interested in financial maths should be evaluated. If yes, can go for CA or MBA finance. If not she can think of MBA(HR) or any other branch except finance. Some other options: CS, BBA from good College)

Hello sir My daughter is in 8th grade ICSCE and moving to 9th now, she need to choose subjects. She is not interested in maths but want to take commerce and economics. Without maths will there be good options in future for studies and career? Please assist

Ans: Praveen, Your daughter has great job choices in banking, finance, marketing, law, corporate secretary, mass communication, journalism, and hotel management even if she can pursue Commerce and Economics without Mathematics. Higher studies possibilities comprise B.Com (Bachelor of Commerce), B.A (Bachelor of Business Administration), BA Economics, Law (BA LLB/BVA LLB), Mass Communication & Journalism, and Hotel Management. Jobs in banking and finance; marketing and sales; HR; corporate secretary; legal profession; and entrepreneurship abound. Nonetheless, some elite institutions and universities could demand Mathematics, and disciplines like Data Science, Finance, and Actuarial Science mostly depend on it. She can still have a brilliant future in commerce and economics even if she hates maths greatly. She should investigate courses in Business Studies, Accountancy, or Entrepreneurship alongside Commerce & Economics since Applied Mathematics can be a useful substitute. Please note, The level of Mathematics required in Commerce and Economics depends on the specific subjects and career paths chosen. Commerce without Maths involves basic calculations and logic-based thinking, while Economics without Maths involves basic statistics, graphs, and logical reasoning. B.Sc. Economics requires higher Maths, while Commerce with Applied Maths covers practical topics like financial mathematics, probability, statistics, and logical reasoning. Career paths include B.Com, BBA, CS, Law, HR, Digital Marketing, and Entrepreneurship. If a daughter dislikes Maths but wants Commerce/Economics, Commerce without Maths is a safe choice. If she is not able to cope up with ICSCE Board, it is advisable to change her into CBSE. If she is struggling with the ICSE board, it is advisable to transfer her to CBSE. All the Best for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future.

Is vit bhopal aerospace worth Anh how much total fees?

Ans: Kunal, VIT Bhopal’s B.Tech Aerospace Engineering program charges ?7.92 lakh in total tuition fees (?1.98 lakh/year) with additional hostel fees of ?1.09–1.94 lakh/year, totaling ?12–15 lakh for four years. While the department offers modern labs, research facilities, and interdisciplinary projects, core aerospace placements are limited (50–60% in 2024), with most graduates transitioning to IT roles (93% overall placement rate) via recruiters like TCS and Infosys. The curriculum covers aeronautical/astronautical engineering, but student reviews highlight weaker industry connections compared to CSE/ECE branches. For core aerospace careers, prioritize IIEST Shibpur (JEE Main cutoff ~23,280 CRL) or NITs like NIT Delhi (Aerospace cutoff ~18,679 CRL), which offer stronger government-sector recruitment (ISRO, DRDO). If institutional reputation and interdisciplinary flexibility matter, VIT Bhopal remains viable, but explore scholarships (up to 100% fee waiver for top VITEEE ranks) to offset costs. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

I have scored 83.89 percentile in jee..and have 87.6 percent in pcm and overall 93.6 What colleges should I look for.. private And for gov should I fill any counselling??

Ans: With a JEE Main percentile of 83.89 (expected rank 115,000–166,000) and 87.6% in PCM, admission to CSE/ECE in top NITs via JoSAA is unlikely, but Civil/Mechanical Engineering at newer NITs (e.g., NIT Sikkim, NIT Mizoram) or GFTIs like IIITDM Kancheepuram (cutoff ~29,998 OBC) may be feasible in later counseling rounds . For private colleges, target Amity Noida (direct admission via 12th marks), Prioritize JoSAA/CSAB counseling for niche branches in NITs/GFTIs and secure Amity/SRM as backups, leveraging your strong academic record for merit scholarships. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Sir,i am a 12th class student of 2024-25 batch with pcb from chse (odisha state board) . I want to pursue btech cse from IIIT BHUBANESWAR OR NIT ROURKELA. Can i apply for jee mains if i will add only mathematics from nios leading to 2 marksheets ,one from chse containing PCB ,english and statistics and another from nios with only maths.

Ans: With a JEE Main percentile of 93.7 (expected CRL rank ~94,500), admission to CSE in NITs/IIITs via JoSAA/CSAB is unlikely, as top NITs like NIT Trichy (CSE cutoff: ~4,661–9,271) and IIIT Hyderabad (CSE cutoff: ~1,500–6,000) require ranks below 20,000. However, non-CSE branches such as Mechanical and Civil Engineering at NIT Agartala (cutoff: ~180,051) or Electronics and Communication Engineering at IIITDM Jabalpur (ECE cutoff: ~17,195) may become available in later CSAB rounds, although prioritizing these options risks losing current offers. Among existing options, VIT Vellore CSE (93% placement rate, 867+ recruiters like Microsoft/Amazon) offers the strongest industry network and academic rigor, followed by NMIMS Mumbai CSE (prime location, ~90% placements in tech roles). UPES Dehradun (96% placements) and SRM Main Campus (~85% placements) lag in institutional reputation compared to VIT/NMIMS. Prioritize VIT Vellore CSE for optimal career prospects, while monitoring CSAB for niche NIT/IIIT branches as backups and also take into consideration the fee affordability.

Swetha Sir my son got 98.76%tile in jee mains he got 932 in inter state board exams we r general category Can u suggest us best cse in nit and iiit

Ans: Swetha Madam, With a JEE Main percentile of 98.76 (expected CRL rank ~18,600–19,200) and 93.2% in Class 12, securing CSE in top NITs (Trichy, Warangal, Surathkal) is unlikely due to their 2024 closing ranks (4,661–9,271 for General). However, mid-tier NITs like NIT Patna (CSE cutoff: ~28,860) and NIT Silchar (CSE cutoff: ~24,250) are feasible options, alongside NIT Meghalaya (CSE cutoff: ~29,518). Among IIITs, IIITDM Kancheepuram (CSE cutoff: ~21,841) and IIIT Bhagalpur (CSE cutoff: ~23,000–30,000) are accessible, offering specialized tech curricula and ~73–85% placements in core IT roles. Prioritize IIITDM Kancheepuram for its interdisciplinary focus and stronger industry ties, followed by NIT Patna/Silchar for broader engineering exposure and institutional reputation.

Can you please suggest me that which one is best for B tech in cse kiit,soa or chandigarh university

Ans: For B.Tech in CSE, Chandigarh University (CU) offers the highest placement packages (?54.75 LPA domestic, ?1.7 CPA international) and a 95%+ placement rate with recruiters like Amazon and Microsoft, despite its higher fees (?11.73 lakh total). KIIT provides a balanced profile with strong institutional reputation (NIRF #28 overall, NAAC A++), ?63 LPA highest package (2023), and an 83–90% placement rate, though its fees are steep (?18.51 lakh). SOA University, while more affordable (?11.8 lakh fees) and NIRF-ranked (#24 overall), lags in median salaries (?5.75 LPA for UG) and core tech placements. Prioritize Chandigarh University for premium placements and industry diversity, KIIT for academic rigor and alumni networks, or SOA for cost-effectiveness with moderate opportunities.

Sir I have got IT department in SRM Ramapuram and 20k rank in AEEE Will I get in amrita chennai or go for srm

Ans: Jeffry, With an AEEE rank of 20,000, securing CSE at Amrita Chennai is unlikely (2024 cutoff: ~15,000 ranks for CSE), but ECE/Mechanical Engineering may be feasible (cutoffs: ~20,000–26,000). SRM Ramapuram IT offers 95% placement rates with mid-tier recruiters like Accenture and Infosys (avg. ?4.5–5 LPA), though its curriculum focuses on IT-specific roles. Amrita Chennai provides stronger institutional reputation (NAAC A++), interdisciplinary opportunities, and broader industry ties (Amazon, TCS), albeit in non-CSE branches. If IT specialization is critical, opt for SRM Ramapuram; prioritize Amrita Chennai for institutional prestige and lateral branch shifts, accepting ECE/Mechanical. Explore Amrita Amritapuri/Bengaluru during counseling for CSE-related branches if flexibility exists. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

i gave my first jee mains atempt in 2024 but didnt qualified but due to some reason i passed my 12 board in 2025 and in 2025 i gave jee mains but didnt qualified i know i am eligible for 1 more jee mains but i am doubt full of my jee advance tempt in 2026

Ans: Golu, With a 2025 Class 12 completion and JEE Main attempts in 2024 (pre-boards) and 2025, you remain eligible for JEE Main 2026 (third consecutive year post-12th), offering two attempts (January/April). However, JEE Advanced 2026 eligibility requires qualifying JEE Main 2026 (top 2.5 lakh rank) and meeting the two-attempt limit over consecutive years (2025–2026 or 2026–2027). Since you did not qualify in 2024/2025, focus on JEE Main 2026 to secure a rank enabling JEE Advanced 2026 (final attempt in 2027 if needed). If unsuccessful, prioritize state exams or private universities like VIT/BITS via BITSAT, leveraging your 2025 board marks. If engineering remains the goal, viable alternatives include direct B.Tech admissions at institutes like Amity, SRM, or LPU (via 12th scores) and diploma lateral entry programs (e.g., SRMU, UMU). All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Sir I got 70% in 12 boards and i have not attempted jee and live in noida can you please suggest me btech cse collges

Ans: Sagri, With 70% in Class 12 (PCM) and no JEE attempt, you can pursue B.Tech CSE in Delhi/NCR through merit-based admissions or direct entry at private institutes. Amity University Noida and Sharda University admit students via CUET or 12th marks (cutoff ~60–70%), offering CSE with fees ranging ?4–7 lakh/year. NIET Greater Noida and Galgotias University provide lateral entry or management quota seats (15% intake) with strong industry ties, though fees may reach ?4.5–6 lakh/year. JSS Academy of Technical Education and GL Bajaj Institute also admit based on 12th scores, prioritizing PCM performance. For backup, consider KCC Institute of Technology (direct admission) or Maharaja Agrasen Institute of Technology (IPU CET counseling with 55% PCM eligibility). Focus on institutions like Lovely Professional University (LPU) or Noida Institute of Engineering and Technology for flexible eligibility and robust placements in software roles.

I got vit rank _ 70000. Boards 90% cbse class 12 Should I opt for cse with bioinformatics or core cse? Which field would be better for me ?

Ans: Parna, With a VITEEE rank of 70,000 and 90% in CBSE Class 12, admission to core CSE at VIT’s premier campuses (Vellore/Chennai) is unlikely, as their 2024 cutoff ranks for Category 1–3 closed below 30,000 . However, CSE with Bioinformatics at VIT-AP/Bhopal may be accessible in Category 4–5 (cutoff ranks up to 70,000–1.3 lakh), offering a niche curriculum blending computational biology and data analysis . While core CSE provides broader tech opportunities (93% placements in software roles), CSE with Bioinformatics caters to specialized sectors like healthcare IT and biotech (50–60% core placements) . If institutional reputation and tech versatility are priorities, consider ECE/IT at VIT campuses (cutoff ~45,000–1.2 lakh) or explore CSE (AI/Data Science) at newer campuses like VIT-AP . Prioritize CSE with Bioinformatics only if aligned with interdisciplinary interests, otherwise opt for ECE/IT for better placement diversity. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!
