Sir, Further to the above question, Would like to know your recommendation. My daughter would get Aerospace Engg., Mechanical, ETE, EIE, BT, Chemical in RVCE, BMSCE, MSRIT. As mentioned earlier, She is interested in CSE & would get CSE in SIT, Tumkur, NIE, Mysore, BIT, BMSIT, Nitte Meenakshi, CMRIT, Sir MVIT, Bangalore. I don't have much idea on Aerospace Engineering & opportunities. What would be your order of preference. Confused between choosing Aerospace Engg. / Mechanical in Top 3 colleges RV, BMSCE, MSRIT vs CSE in SIT, NIE, BMSIT, BIT, Nitte meenakshi, CMRIT.
Ans: Sir, (1) Regarding Aerospace Engineering, it needs high level of SPATIAL SKILLS apart from high level of Logical & Analytical thinking skills. Job openings also will be less, compared to CSE / Other Streams. Please think over this and decide. (2) Now coming to order of preference, please ask your daughter, she PREFERS college over stream or stream over college? Secondly, she is more interested more in Mechanical or CSE? If she prefers College, order of preference for Mechanical (a) BMS (within city limit in Bengaluru) (b) RV (on Mysore Road) (c) MSRIT (all have good placement records). However she should keep upgrading her skills, based on the expectations of the Companies visited the Campus during the last 2-years, to be COMPETENT among other Students (applicable for any college she joins). (3) If she prefers CSE, order of preference (a) SIT (b) CMRIT (c) NITTE-Meenakshi (d) BMSIT (e) NIE (f) BIT. My suggestion (but it is up to your daughter to choose): Better to choose RV or BMS. All The BEST.

Thanks for your feedback Sir. My daughter is interested in CSE. So as per your suggestion I would consider SIT. You have mentioned RV and BMS. But with her rank of 4997 in comedk, it's tough to get CSE in RV and BMS. Can I go ahead with SIT ?
Ans: Ok Sir. You can go ahead. However, please tell her to keep in mind my suggestion, mentioned above i.e. " She should keep upgrading her skills, based on the expectations of the Companies visited the Campus during the last 2-years, to be COMPETENT among other Students (applicable for any college she joins)." All the BEST for your Daughter's Bright Future. After she joins the College, if she needs any guidance / clarifications, you please ask me here in RediffGURU.

Sir i want to know how can I manage my time because I have coaching of about 1:25 to 8:15 along with this i want to revise 11th and current study revision with test series
Ans: Irfan, To make the most of limited study time around your 1:25 pm–8:15 pm coaching block, adopt a structured daily routine that blends new learning, revision and regular mock testing. Begin your day with a short, high-intensity review: Wake by 6:00 am and spend 60 minutes revising the previous day’s weakest topics in Physics, Chemistry or Maths, using concise note-cards and formula sheets. After breakfast, allocate 8:00 am–1:00 pm to focused school-and-coaching homework: divide this into alternating 45-minute study sprints (Pomodoro technique), interspersed with 5-minute active breaks to sustain concentration. During your 1:25 pm–8:15 pm coaching, please consider each session as a mini-lecture: make clear margin notes and highlight concepts for focused self-study. From 8:30 pm to 10:30 pm, dedicate two blocks: first (60 minutes) to immediately revise new coaching material, and second (30 minutes) to solve a mini-test of 10–15 questions drawn from your test-series schedule. Reserve 10:30 pm–11:00 pm for light conceptual review before sleep; this “pre-sleep recall” enhances retention. Weekends should emphasize full-length mock tests under timed conditions, followed by detailed error analysis to refine your test strategy and time allocation. Maintain at least seven hours of sleep and include short physical activity breaks to optimize cognitive function and avoid burnout.

recommendation Craft your personal timetable around these principles—early-morning revision, Pomodoro-driven self-study, immediate coaching follow-up, and disciplined mock-test practice—to ensure comprehensive coverage of 11th-grade material and January JEE Main readiness, while steadily building towards May/June JEE Advanced. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Marriage counsellor - Answered on Jul 11, 2025

Asked by Anonymous - Jul 09, 2025Hindi
Relationship
I've been facing a recurring issue in my marriage that's beginning to affect both my peace of mind and our trust. Whenever I go out with friends especially if we're having drinks my wife constantly calls or messages to check on my whereabouts. Even though I always tell her the truth about where I am, who I'm with, and when I'll be back, she still seems suspicious and uneasy. For instance, just last week I was out with two of my old college friends at a restaurant, and she called me multiple times within two hours, asking if I was really with them and when I planned to return. I could sense from her tone that she didn't fully believe me, even though I wasn't doing anything wrong. This has happened several times before, and every time I try to explain, she either changes the topic or says, "You men always hide something." I understand the importance of transparency in a relationship, and I've always tried to be honest with her. But I'm beginning to feel like I'm being micromanaged or doubted for no reason. It's not just about a night out - it's about trust and space. I'm worried that her insecurity might lead to bigger trust issues down the line. How should I deal?
Ans: Hello sir. I understand your situation. This is a serious issue that your wife is not trusting you or she has some suspicion towards you. Well, just review weather was there any reason to be suspicious? Not now may be in past? And if not so then ask your wife directly that what has caused these changes in her nature? May be she has a friend who is going through the same trust issues and due to which she is also being suspicious. You have to find out that very patiently. Once you ll know the reason things will be easier and will get sorted out. I hope this helps
Take care
