i finished my 12 boards 2025 and i want to increase my % in 3 subjects is there any way to do so ?

Ans: CBSE allows students to take Improvement Exams the following year in up to 3 subjects. These exams are held with regular board exams, and the best score is considered. Register online through the CBSE portal (typically opens between August and October).

Sir, I got 65.8% in class 12 cbse 2025 overall 5 subjects with rt in maths, but overall pass due to 6 subjects, I will give improvement in cbse 2026 for pcm, then for exams like jee mains, jee advanced, BITSAT, vitee, will I be eligible to give as boards result is announced around 13 may For all exam forms I have to select passed and gave old marks details? Please guide
Ans: You are eligible to appear for JEE Mains, JEE Advanced, BITSAT, and VITEEE in 2026 after taking your CBSE board improvement exams, provided your results are declared before the respective counseling/admission deadlines. For JEE Mains and Advanced, candidates can apply if they have passed class 12 in 2024, 2025, or are appearing in 2026, and you must have at least 75% aggregate marks or be in the top 20 percentile for admission to IITs/NITs/GFTIs after improvement (the cutoff year and number of attempts are as per official NTA/JEE rules). For BITSAT, you can apply as a 2026 pass-out; only the year of the latest improvement/qualifying exam is considered, and you should meet the 75% aggregate and 60% in each PCM subject criteria in your final (improved) marks. VITEEE also accepts improvement marks as long as you score at least 60% in PCM for the general category at the time of admission. When filling online application forms before your improvement results, you should select “passed” for class 12 and enter your 2025 details; if you later improve your marks in 2026, you must update your information and upload the new marksheet during counseling, ensuring your eligibility is met and avoiding any misrepresentation.

Recommendation: Prepare confidently for improvement exams and 2026 engineering entrances, as all top exams allow use of improved marks for eligibility. Ensure your updated marksheet is ready for counseling, and select “passed” with 2025 details in application forms; update these to your improved 2026 scores as soon as results are declared for a smooth, valid admission process.

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

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.
