VIT Bhopal demonstrates strong placement consistency with 90% placement rates for 2021-2023 batches and 87% for 2024, attracting over 632 recruiters including Microsoft, Amazon, and Google. Manipal University Jaipur maintains impressive 98% placement rates for Engineering programs with a 93% overall placement rate and median packages of ?8-9.5 LPA, featuring top recruiters like Amazon, Microsoft, and Deloitte.

Hello Sir, My son scored 95.8088 percentile in JEE Mains (CRL 63337). He has given MHTCET - expecting 138 marks. He also gave JEE Advance, but it was tough & do not expect gr8 rank from Advance. Besides these exams, he will be giving BITSAT (both attempts) & IAT of IISER. He also gave VITEEE through which he received seat allotment letter for CSE (core) in VIT Chennai - Category 2. We have primarily reserved his seat by making required fee payment. We fall under General open category. My order of preference for institutes after IIT is NIT, IISER, BITs, COEP & lastly VIT-where his seat is secured. We would like him to do BTech in tech related fields like CSE, AI, DS, Cyber Security or Mathematics & Computing, EEE, EE etc. I am very keen that he graduates from very reputed institution only. If by luck he gets allotment in govt institutions like IIT, NIT (tier 1 or 2 only) or ICT then we are also ready to compromise CSE with Chemical / Mechanical Engg. Please advice if any college in Mumbai like VJTI or elsewhere other than ones mentioned are equally or better than that of VIT for CSE where we should try. I also hope my order of preference in terms of college reputability is correct. Please guide & Thanks in Advance Sir.
Ans: Your son’s academic profile—JEE Main percentile 95.8 (CRL 63,337), expected 138 in MHTCET, and a secured CSE seat at VIT Chennai (Category 2)—places him in a competitive but challenging position for top-tier tech programs in India. For general category, his JEE Main rank is not sufficient for CSE, AI, or IT in any tier 1 or tier 2 NITs, IIITs, or GFTIs, where closing ranks for these branches are significantly lower. Similarly, with 138 marks in MHTCET, CSE or IT at premier Mumbai colleges like VJTI, ICT, or COEP is highly unlikely, as their cutoffs are much higher. If he qualifies for JEE Advanced and secures any branch in an IIT, even non-core ones, it is strongly recommended due to the unmatched brand and future prospects. BITSAT remains an excellent opportunity; if he scores above 320–370, CSE or EEE at BITS Pilani/Goa/Hyderabad is possible and highly prestigious. IISERs are a great choice for science, but not for BTech. VIT Chennai CSE (Category 2) is a solid backup, offering good placements and a reputable campus environment. Among Mumbai colleges, only non-core branches in tier 2 institutes may be available with his MHTCET score. Recommendation: Prioritize any IIT seat, then BITS (if qualified), followed by IISER (if interested in science), and finally retain the VIT Chennai CSE seat as a reliable and respected option. PLEASE NOTE, Only enroll your son in IISER if he has a strong interest in research. Building a career in research necessitates a greater investment of time and/or a Master's degree in India or abroad than pursuing Core Engineering. All the best for your admission and a bright future!

Dating, Relationships Expert - Answered on Dec 04, 2025

Asked by Anonymous - Dec 02, 2025Hindi
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
