Hello Sir, Good day ! I work for a Bangalore based KPO. In my company few teams got dissolved as clients projects got over. I am a male working in night shifts from last 9 years and 34 years old. We are on bench right now. My manager is forcing us to do night shift and rather relocate to another city. I have some family emergency that is coming up and i am settled in Bangalore. Few other team members those were on bench got call same day in which my boss and HR was there. They gave two options to them 1. Put resignation take 3 months salary. (We have 3 months notice period ) If not they will get terminated with no experience certificate and blacklisted also. Is there any law that can safe guard me. Please advise right course of action and what shouls be the right way of deali g with that

Ans: Dear

my suggestion don't even think of the legal way, it will distract and drain your energy.

Try talking to your company about your emergency and seek time, if they give great, if they don't then suggest you take up what they are offering or look for alternate job.

All the best

Warm Regards

Hello Sir, Don't disclose my name, I am working in boarding school from last 2 year's, last year principal changed and he is giving lot of work (harassing staff ) so around 50% of staff left the school. he is not appointing new staff also. hardly 2-3 staff he has appointed. In my department 3 staff ware there now I am alone, he is not appointing any one, so I am alone handling all the classes. he has increased the work also. So I decided to leave the work and I got the work also. I have sent my resignation letter through mail. In my appointment letter they have mentioned “During the probation period your service may be terminated by ONE MONTH NOTICE on “either side or Salary in lieu of notice” and The relieving date in all circumstances will not be earlier than the last day of the academic year unless the school terminates. if you are working on any assignment when you tender your resignation such assignment must be completed to the satisfaction of the school before your services will be released. As allocation of subject teaching is a duty allocated for the academic year the reliving date will not be earlier than the last date of the academic year in which the resignation is tender. The school does not encourage mid term session dis continuation of services. School academic year will ends in April. At the time of appointment they have taken all my original certificates. But when I sent my resignation with one month notice period they replied as per your request, you will be relived after the completion of required formalities and work as per service rules. But, yet they are not mentioning what are the work to complete. After one month notice period immediately I have to join my new job. otherwise i will miss my opportunity. orally simply they are extending my date. At present they have extended 15 days after my last day of my notice period. kindly guide me how to solve the problem, get back my originals and join my new job smoothly. Regards
Ans: Please consult a lawyer

Hi sir I could not serve my 3 months notice period however I had served 2 months and asked HR to give me early reliving. I mentioned that my parents are not well and attached medical prescription but they denied and said you to serve complete 3 months. After 2 months I stopped going to office they were sending me absconding mails meanwhile and after 1month they sent me termination letter what shall I do In such case ? I was working there for 2 years.
Ans: I’m sorry to hear about your situation. When facing termination due to not serving the full notice period, it’s important to understand your rights and the potential legal implications. Here’s what you can consider doing:

Review Your Employment Contract: Check the terms regarding the notice period and termination. There might be provisions for situations like medical emergencies.
Legal Consultation: It may be beneficial to consult with a labor law attorney who can provide advice based on the specifics of your case and the applicable laws.
Documentation: Gather all relevant documentation, including the medical prescriptions you submitted, any communication from HR, and the termination letter.
Negotiation: You could attempt to negotiate with your employer, explaining the situation with your parents and seeking a compassionate resolution.
Labor Office: If negotiation fails, you may approach the local labor office or labor court for guidance and to explore options for redressal.
Understand Legal Precedents: Familiarize yourself with any legal precedents that may apply to your case. For instance, the Supreme Court has provided judgments on employment notice periods that might offer insights into your rights and obligations.
Remember, each situation is unique, and the best course of action depends on the specifics of your employment contract and the company’s policies. It’s crucial to handle the matter professionally and legally to ensure the best possible outcome. Good luck!

Sir my son got 21941 rank with 98.57 percentile and he got Cs and AI in IIIT Bhopal,we are waiting for CSAB also pls give suggestions for better choice
Ans: Shama Madam, With a JEE Main percentile of 98.57 (All-India rank 21 941), your son's seat in IIIT Bhopal for Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence is secure given its CSAB 2024 closing rank of 26 625 for CSE. Beyond IIIT Bhopal, multiple central institutes accept ranks around 20–30 000 for CSE under All-India quota, offering stronger brand value and infrastructure. IIIT Guwahati admitted CSE students up to rank 24 561, IIIT Pune closed CSE at 18 979 in Round 5, IIIT Ranchi’s CSE cutoff reached 36 246, IIIT Dharwad admitted up to rank 41 608, and IIIT Kota accepted CSE at 38 000. Among NITs, only a few remote campuses (e.g., NIT Goa CSE OBC-NCL at 109 017) admit far higher ranks, rendering CSE at mainstream NITs unlikely. GFTIs such as Assam University–Silchar and NIELIT Aurangabad offer CSE and related electronics programmes with closing ranks above 80 000, but these diverge from core CSE. These options ensure robust AICTE/NBA accreditation, modern labs, experienced faculty and 75–90 percent placement trends.

Recommendation: Considering tier, specialisation and placement potential, IIIT Bhopal remains the foremost choice, followed by IIIT Guwahati for its strong northeastern campus and research focus, IIIT Pune for its urban connectivity and growing industry ties, IIIT Ranchi for its established PPP model and recruiter network, and IIIT Dharwad for its cutting-edge curriculum and emerging tech labs. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Can i get mechanical in nits tier2 in csab counselling please My jee rank is 52k CRL and 15k in OBC
Ans: Ankush, I think I have already answered your question. Anyway, please note, Admission to Mechanical Engineering at mid-tier NITs via CSAB Special Rounds for an OBC-NCL rank of 15 000 is feasible despite a CRL of 52 , since seat allocation for reserved categories follows the category rank. In CSAB 2024, NIT Durgapur’s Other-State mechanical closing rank was 33 265 (General) and its OBC-NCL seats historically close within the 11 000–12 000 band. NIT Patna’s Other-State OBC-NCL mechanical cutoff stood at 51 338 in Round 1, with Home-State OBC-NCL seats closing around 53 621. NIT Goa’s Other-State OBC-NCL mechanical rank closed at 60 029 in Round 1 and 67 845 in Round 2, showing ample margin for a 15 000 OBC-NCL rank. Similar trends apply to NIT Puducherry and NIT Sikkim, whose OBC-NCL mechanical cutoffs exceed 40 000. IIIT and GFTI mechanical streams typically close at much higher ranks, so GFTIs like NIELIT Aurangabad (Electronics Systems) and Institute of Infrastructure, Technology, Research and Management Ahmedabad (Mechanical) also remain options. A BITSAT score of 199 corresponds to a rank beyond 32 000, falling short of all BITS campus cutoffs for CSE and mechanical, so BITS admission is not possible.

Recommendation: Fill out a maximum of your preferred choices of Insitutes & Branches. With strong prospects at NIT Durgapur, NIT Patna and NIT Goa under OBC-NCL reservations, accept your CSAB choices in mechanical at these institutes. As robust private-college backups in Northern India apply to Manipal Academy of Higher Education (Manipal Campus)(if JEE score is accepted), Jaypee Institute of Information Technology Noida, J.C. Bose University of Science & Technology (YMCA UST) Faridabad, Galgotias University Greater Noida and Chandigarh University, each offering accredited CSE curricula, specialized labs, dedicated placement cells with 80–95% three-year placement consistency, and accessible admission tests. Ensure timely applications to these private institutes while finalizing your CSAB mechanical seat. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Management-Quota Seat Options (Just for information & the capitation/donation/tuition fees provided here are approximate. Please check the college websites for accuracy.
For guaranteed non-CAP admission via management quotas, consider Bharati Vidyapeeth COE Pune (capitation ?2.5 LPA, annual fees ?1.5 LPA; branches: CSE, E&TC, ME, CE, EE), D.Y. Patil COE Akurdi (capitation ?3 LPA, fees ?1.8 LPA; branches: CSE, IT, E&TC, ME, CE), MIT World Peace University Pune (capitation ?4 LPA, fees ?2 LPA; branches: CSE, IT, E&TC, ME, CE), JSPM Narhe (capitation ?2 LPA, fees ?1.6 LPA; branches: CSE, IT, E&TC, ME, CE) and Vishwakarma Institute of Technology Kondhwa (capitation ?3.5 LPA, fees ?1.7 LPA; branches: CSE, E&TC, ME, CE, EE).
