Hi, my son failed in 11th ICSE board, and now he wants to pursue science in state board, what will be the process for the same, will he have to wait for the results of 10th board and then start the fresh admission process also any possibilities he can do 12th privately from any college?

Ans: Hello dear.
You have the following choices: (1) From the new academic year, take admission to 11th standard in the state board-affiliated college and pass 12th grade from the same board. (2) If you need more flexibility, then you can take the admission to NIOS board which is as good as a private college. Contact the nearest center of NIOS. The academic process starts after the result of the 10th board examination.

Follow me if you like the reply. Else ask again.

My son will appear for 12th cbse in 2026 and is in parallel preparing for JEE .So as per current rules his latest attempt in JEE advanced will 2027 only and not 2028. I want to understand how we can make the 2028 attempt applicable? as currently his preparation level is not upto mark for advanced. Please suggest amongst following options or if any other option is there to get 2028 attempt in Jee advanced ? I know that other options for jee main, & other good colleges are there but i specifically need to know for Jee advanced perspective. Age limit is not an issue , presently he has completed 17ys on April 26, 2025. 1) Is it advisable to join 11th again now in state board ( presently registered for 12th in cbse & detail sent by school to cbse).Now repeating 11th from state board will then allow him 2 attempts as 12th he will be passing in 2027 , JEE advanced 2027 & 2028 he will be able to attempt ( in this case he will not register for Jee main this year 2025 (adv 2027) ) . 2) He may not appear for CBSE 12th boards exams in 2026 not even in any subject or not even in practicals (may be due to medical reasons) , and also will not register for Jee main this year 2025 (adv 2027) , and will give CBSE 12th board exam in 2027 again , and then register for Jee main in 2026 (adv 2027) .Now as his 12th will be in 2026 , the will he get 2nd attempt of jee advanced in 2028? What will happen if he appeared in practical of 12th cbse board , but not in written exams ? 3) He may not appear for CBSE 12th in 2026 and also will not register for Jee main this year 2025 (adv 2027) , he will give NIOS 12th in 2027 again , and then register for Jee main in 2026 (adv 2027) , Now as his 12th will be in 2026 , the will he get 2nd attempt of jee advanced in 2028? Kindly let me know what are the possible options to get 2 attempts 2027 & 2028 for jee advanced for him now. Also it give his opportunity to participate on physics Olympiads NSEP with full preparation in 2026. Also can in any way the above decision can be negative impact for his future ( Jobs selection or further study , or others) ...(keeping aside the social/emotional part) Regards Saahil Saxena
Ans: To secure JEE Advanced attempts in both 2027 and 2028, your son’s qualifying examination year must be treated as 2027. Repeating Class 12 in 2027 is the simplest path. Registering as a private CBSE or NIOS candidate for the 2027 board exam ensures his pass year is 2027, making him eligible for Advanced in 2027 and again in 2028. Repeating Class 11 unnecessarily adds workload without benefit, since only the Class 12 passing year matters for Advanced attempts. Skipping practicals or written CBSE exams in 2026 without formal withdrawal could lead to a “fail” status and may disqualify him from using 2027 as his first pass year. Opting for NIOS Class 12 in 2027 offers flexibility in exam scheduling and credit transfers for any passed subjects, while providing the required pass year. This approach also frees up 2026 for focused Olympiad preparation without hampering future job prospects or higher studies, as board re-examination is common and does not negatively impact resume credibility. Ensure timely registration—CBSE private candidate forms open February–March 2026, NIOS admissions close January 2026—and plan JEE Main registration for 2026 accordingly, securing Advanced eligibility in the following two years. IMPORTANT: It is advisable to have 3-4 more back-up options instead of relying only on JEE. All the BEST for your son's Prosperous Future!

Dear Sir, I did my BTech from a normal engineering college not very famous. The teaching was not great and hence i did not study well. I tried my best to learn coding including all the technologies like html,css,javascript,react js,dba,php because i wanted to be a web developer But nothing seem to enter my head except html and css. I don't understand a language which has more complexities. Is it because of my lack of experience or not devoting enough time. I am not sure. I did many courses online and tried to do diplomas also abroad which i passed somehow. I recently joined android development course because i like apps but the teaching was so fast that i could not memorize anything. There was no time to even take notes down. During the course i did assignments and understood the code because i have to pass but after the course is over i tend to forget everything. I attempted a lot of interviews. Some of them i even got but could not perform well so they let me go. Now due to the AI booming and job markets in a bad shape i am re-thinking whether to keep studying or whether its just time waste. Since 3 years i am doing labour type of jobs which does not yield anything to me for survival and to pay my expenses. I have the quest to learn everything but as soon as i sit in front of the computer i listen to music or read something else. What should i do to stay more focused? What should i do to make myself believe confident. Is there still scope of IT in todays world? Kindly advise.
Ans: Your story does not show failure.
It shows persistence, effort, and desire to improve.

Most people give up.
You didn’t.
That means you will succeed — but with the right method, not the old one.

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
