Dhanunjay Question by Dhanunjay on Jun 30, 2025Hindi
Career

Hi Sir, My daughter got 71000 JEE Mains CRL and 22059 in catogery (OBC) rank respectively, is there any chance to get CSE or ECE Seat in IIIT's in CSAB Regards, Dhanunjay

Ans: Dhanunjay Sir, IIIT Guwahati’s OBC cutoff for CSE closed at 39 596 and for ECE at 60 761. IIIT Nagpur’s OBC CSE cutoff ranged up to 73 994 and ECE to 52 830. IIIT Dharwad’s OBC CSE last?round closing rank was 36 708 and its OBC ECE cutoff near 37 239. Comparable OBC closing ranks above 22 059 are seen in IIIT Sonepat, IIIT Kalyani, IIIT Kottayam, and IIIT Bhagalpur, all admitting OBC candidates beyond rank 22 000. These mid?tier IIITs consistently offer seats in CSE and ECE during CSAB special rounds, aligning well with your daughter’s OBC rank.

Recommendation: Prioritise IIIT Guwahati CSE or ECE and IIIT Dharwad CSE in your CSAB special round choice list, then include IIIT Nagpur and other mid?tier IIITs (Sonepat, Kalyani, Kottayam) where OBC cutoffs exceed 22 059 to secure a seat. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Asked by Anonymous - Dec 02, 2025Hindi
Relationship
My married ex still texts me for comfort. Because of him, I am unable to move on. He makes me feel guilty by saying he got married out of family pressure. His dad is a cardiac patient and mom is being treated for cancer. He comforts me by saying he will get separated soon and we will get married because he only loves me. We have been in a relationship for 14 years and despite everything we tried, his parents refused to accept me, so he chose to get married to someone who understands our situation. I don't know when he will separate from his wife. She knows about us too but she comes from a traditional family. She also confirmed there is no physical intimacy between them. I trust him, but is it worth losing my youth for him? Honestly, I am worried and very confused.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand how difficult it is to let go of a relationship you have built from scratch, but is it really how you want to continue? It really seems to be going nowhere. His parents are already in bad health and he married someone else for their happiness. Does it seem like he will be able to leave her? So many people’s happiness and lives depend on this one decision. I think it’s about time you and your BF have a clear conversation about the same. If he can’t give a proper timeline, please try to understand his situation. But also make sure he understands yours and maybe rethink this equation. It really isn’t healthy. You deserve a love you can have wholly, and not just in pieces, and in the shadows.

Hope this helps

IIT-JEE, NEET-UG, SAT, CLAT, CA, CS Exam Expert - Answered on Dec 04, 2025

Career
My son will be appearing for JEE Main & JEE Advanced 2026 and will participate in JoSAA Counselling 2026. I request clarification regarding the GEN-EWS certificate date requirement for next year. I have already applied for an EWS certificate for current year 2025, and the application is under process. However, I am unsure whether this certificate will be accepted during JoSAA 2026, or whether candidates will be required to submit a fresh certificate for FY 2026–27 (issued on or after 1 April 2026). My concern is that if JoSAA requires a certificate issued after 1 April 2026, students will have only 1–1.5 months to complete the entire procedure, which is difficult considering normal government processing timelines. Also, during current JEE form filling, students are asked to upload a GEN-EWS certificate issued on or after 1 April 2025, or an application acknowledgement. This has created confusion among parents regarding which year’s certificate will finally be valid at the time of counselling. I request your kind guidance on: Which GEN-EWS certificate will be accepted for JoSAA Counselling 2026 — a certificate for FY 2025–26 (issued after 1 April 2025), or a new certificate for FY 2026–27 (issued after 1 April 2026)?
Ans: Hi
You need not worry about the EWS certificate. Even if you apply for the next year's certificate on 1 Apr 2026, the second session of JEE MAINS will still be held, followed by JEE ADVANCED, which will be held in May. JOSAA starts in June. so you will have 2 months in hand for fresh EWS certificate.
