my son got 255 in bitsat expected branches ih bits hyd

Ans: Suresh Sir, With a BITSAT score of 255, your son exceeds the last?round closing score of 251 for B.E. Mechanical Engineering at BITS Hyderabad but falls short of the 270–298 thresholds for flagship branches like ECE, EEE, Electronics & Instrumentation, and Computer Science. While he also surpasses the typical ~235 cutoff for B.E. Chemical Engineering, chemical seats at Hyderabad are extremely limited and may fill early. Given these opening ranks, Mechanical Engineering at the Hyderabad campus is the most secure option, with a secondary chance in Chemical Engineering if seats remain after the primary iterations.

For assured admission and strong alignment with your score profile, the recommendation is to accept B.E. Mechanical Engineering at BITS Hyderabad. Should you seek a broader core?engineering scope within BITS, pursue B.E. Chemical Engineering only if Mechanical seats are unavailable in subsequent iterations. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

sir my son got 255 in bits entrance test expected branches

Ans: Suresh Sir, With a BITSAT score of 255, your son is unlikely to secure Computer Science or Electronics & Communication at any BITS campus, as CSE cutoffs are 291–330 and ECE 277–324 across Pilani, Goa, and Hyderabad. However, 255 is sufficient for branches like Chemical, Civil, Manufacturing, or M.Sc. programs (Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Economics) at all three campuses, where cutoffs typically range from 220–260. Electrical & Electronics and Electronics & Instrumentation at BITS Goa or Hyderabad are borderline, with cutoffs sometimes dipping to 252–270, so these may be possible in later rounds. The final branch allotment will depend on this year’s cutoffs, seat availability, and preference order, but a BITSAT score of 255 consistently offers strong chances for core engineering and science dual-degree programs.

Recommendation: With 255, prioritize Chemical, Civil, Manufacturing, or M.Sc. (Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Economics) at any BITS campus; keep Electrical & Electronics and Electronics & Instrumentation at Goa/Hyderabad as backup options, as CSE and ECE are out of reach this year. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

My wisdom tooth is biting into my cheek. I am 41 but the tooth is still growing. It is causing a lot of discomfort. At what age does wisdom teeth stop growing? Should I fix it or get it removed? Pls suggest. I have already spent a lot of money trying to fix it every few years.

Ans: Hello

Wisdom teeth usually "stop growing" by the age of 25, provided they are properly aligned and there's sufficient space for them to erupt. But, more often than not, they are not properly aligned or there may not be enough space for them.
Curiously, teeth never actually stop growing unless there's something blocking their growth. Like an opposing tooth, for instance. If an upper tooth is extracted and not replaced with an artificial tooth, the opposing lower tooth can theoretically keep growing into the empty space above.
Your wisdom tooth is improperly aligned and hence will continue to grow indefinitely.
Since you mentioned that it's been troubling you for several years, my advice would be to get it extracted

Hi Sir, I am 46 years old with a Wife and a daughter (12 years old). Planning to retire by age of 50. Current net worth includes - Stock Market portfolio (including Stocks, MFs, PMS) - INR 3 CR, 2 Flats worth INR 4.5 CR without any home loans. Long Term investments like NPS, Sukanya Samruddhi, LIC, EPF/PPF etc - 1 CR, FDs- 20L, Gold (Physical +ETF) - 70L. Current Monthly expenses - 60-70K per month. Now, I understand that my daughter's Graduation and PG education expenses may cost anywhere around 1CR (inflation included). Also the medical/health expenses will be required too. Considering all of the above, how do you recommend I can plan for retiring at 50? I do plan to stay invested in equities for long term even after retirement. Thanks for your advice.

Ans: Thank you for the query. Congratulations. You seems to have already planned well for post retirement period. However, You have not shared your current income details at present, Passive income after proposed retirement age and whether any of your house property has been rented out. Also not given monthly investments etc. Hence unable to offer my comments on overall financial position. It is suggested to connect with a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) and share your full details and discuss your life goals etc. CFP and you both can sit together and arrive at a proper retirement planning. All the best.

My wisdom tooth isn't hurting, but food keeps getting stuck and the area smells bad. Google scared me with infection stories, while some people say don’t remove it unless there’s pain. I’m genuinely confused. Should wisdom teeth be removed proactively or only when they cause problems?

Ans: Hello

I understand why you’re worried - food getting trapped and a foul smell can be very unsettling, but no pain doesn’t automatically mean you can avoid a dentist's visit. If the tooth is partially erupted or impacted, it creates a pocket where bacteria thrive, which explains the odor and can lead to gum inflammation or a low?grade infection. Many dentists recommend _proactive_ removal when they see a high risk of future issues (crowding, decay, cysts) even without pain. On the flip side, if it’s fully erupted, easy to clean, and not messing with your bite, your dentist might just monitor it and suggest a good hygiene regimen (floss, mouthwash, water?flosser).

My advice is to get an X?ray and a dentist’s opinion. If they spot infection signs, cysts, or trouble cleaning, they’ll likely suggest extraction. If it’s clean and you can keep it infection?free, you can wait and watch.

I brush twice a day and floss most nights, but I still keep getting cavities. My dentist says it could be my enamel or saliva, which honestly confused me. I also drink lemon water every morning thinking it’s healthy.

Ans: Hello

You're one of very few people I know who brush and floss their teeth regularly. Keep it up!
It's important to note, however, that your brushing technique is also very important. Not just how frequently you brush.
It's possible your enamel is weak or poorly calcified which could be the reason why you keep getting cavities. If you had a calcium deficiency during childhood - when your teeth were developing - it's likely that your tooth enamel is hypocalcified and hence more prone to decay.
Saliva, like your dentist suggested, can also play a role. Acidic saliva can erode and weaken tooth enamel.
Fresh lime has a similar harmful effect on your teeth. You should at least rinse your mouth thoroughly after drinking lime water so that traces of it don't remain.
