CSE in Jaypee Noida vs Scalar or ECE in MBM Jodhpur: Which is best for my daughter?

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand that you are hurt and the complexities of the hearts might be difficult sometimes to grasp. The first reason for your sorrow, her past relationship, and the fact that she was physically intimate with them is not completely justifiable. Though I understand that you feel hurt because she did not disclose it to you, still it should not matter so much as to ruin your present relationship. And whether she will open up about such sensitive details is actually up to her. It has nothing to do with how much she loves you or trusts you. Please understand that.

Now coming to the next thing, the fact that she is still in touch with them and has even met one of them, that is slightly concerning. It would have been okay if she did that openly- please understand that I am not saying she should have asked for your permission, but rather discuss the same with you. Moreover, in a relationship, it is also important to understand how much your partner is comfortable with- goes for both men and women. If you are uncomfortable with her relationship with her exes, she should consider that. I would have said the same if the table was turned. I suggest you have a clear conversation with her and express how you feel about this situation- depending on how she reacts and how the conversation goes, you both can think about the next step.

Hope this helps.

Ans: Hello Antin
Your nephew has too many different criteria. Domicile & caste certificates are usually issued by verifying the father's documents. Since his 12th is from CBSE gulf, we need to check in which division of CBSE it falls.
Else AIQ, deemed & Managment seats will be the only option.

In NEET Maharashtra counselling they want 10th & 12th from Maharashtra only then only they consider for state seats.
I have handled few cases where is parent kept students in boarding program for 10th in other state & then 12th from Maharashtra. they even have caste certificate & domicile made for the student, but they were not alotted state seats.
