CHITRANJAN Question by CHITRANJAN on Jun 07, 2025

I got 12700 rank in comed K ,what branch and college may I allot

Ans: Chitranjan, With a COMEDK rank of 12,700, you can secure ECE at RNSIT Bangalore (expected cutoff: 15,800–16,200) or Acharya Institute of Technology (cutoff: 18,183–28,183), both offering 70–80% placements via TCS/Infosys. Mechanical Engineering at MSRIT Bangalore (cutoff: 8,437–25,000) or Dayananda Sagar College (cutoff: ~11,385) is feasible, with 75–85% placements in core sectors (L&T, Bosch). For Civil Engineering, consider PES College of Engineering (cutoff: ~30,000–87,000) or BIT Bangalore (cutoff: ~36,707), though placements are lower (60–70%). If open to niche branches, Industrial Engineering at MSRIT (cutoff: 14,407–25,000) or Biotechnology at Acharya (cutoff: ~41,902) are viable. Prioritize ECE at RNSIT or Mechanical at MSRIT for better industry alignment, and monitor vacancy rounds for potential upgrades to preferred branches. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Career
Hi. I am currently 29. Married with no kids. Wife not earning. Planning for a kid this year. Monthly earning 60k post tax. Have savings of 2 lakhs. Have personal loan of 9 lakhs. Monthly expenses 40k including emi's. I have lost interest in job and I don't want to work anymore. I want to do business which can give monthly 50 to 60k income. Max I can invest 2lakhs. Is there any business which I can start with 2 lakhs and generate monthly income of 60k ? I am frustrated with working under an employer. I want to start my own venture. Please suggest.
Ans: Spandan, pause before you mail the resignation.

Your maths
60 k take-home
40 k spends (15 k of that is EMI on a 9 L loan)
→ 20 k buffer

A newborn will nudge monthly costs up by 8-10 k. Cash cushion shrinks fast.

So the plan must earn while you learn, not leap blind.

Keep the paycheck six more months.
Use evenings to test micro-ideas. Risk stays capped at ?0 for now.

Choose a “cash-this-month” niche, not a moon-shot.
Pick work that turns inventory ≤ ?50 k into sales inside 30 days.

Tiffin + office snacks (two dishes, 40 boxes) - ?25 k utensils, ?10 k FSSAI, ?5 k flyers - ?120 per box × 40 = ?4.8 k /day

Amazon / Flipkart reselling (phone cases, cables) ?40 k stock, ?15 k ads 25 % net margin on ?2 L monthly sales = ?50 k

Weekend print-on-demand & personalised gifting kiosk ?45 k heat-press kit (other options are there too) ?300 profit per mug × 200 pcs → ?60 k Bring Your Mug - Take Away Memories.

Local social-media management for clinics & salons ?0 gear, ?3 k Canva Pro ?8 k-?12 k per client; 6 clients hit target

None need heavy staff or rent. All can run beside your day job.

Set one simple goal: ?15 k profit by Day-30.
Hit it twice, raise target to ?35 k. Only when side income beats salary three months straight do you quit.

This is critical - Plug leaks early. Refinance personal loan to longer tenor; shave EMI to ~?10 k.

Park 1 L of savings in an emergency account—no touch.Skill up tiny, daily.
Watch a YouTube on ad copy, take a WhatsApp course on GST filings. Low cost, immediate payback.

Start small, sell fast, reinvest every rupee. Freedom comes, but by steps, not by one loud jump.
