Hii sir dmit karavaya usme aaya ki science na karvaye aur engineering me bhi na Dale....ham use commers ya arts me phycology me aage badhane ki salah di hai lekin hame cse karvana tha dmit test par kitna trust karna chahiye uski man ke aage badhna thik rahega

Ans: Welcome back.
I want to emphasize that IQ tests, DMIT tests, or similar assessments are merely tests. One should not trust these tests completely. It may be better to admit him to the science stream and wait for his performance over the next few months. Even if he appears less capable, he will complete his 12th-grade science and take state-level engineering tests. There are many examples of students who seemed weak or average in 10th or 12th grade but went on to have successful careers. Whatever you are considering for your son's future seems valid. Proceed with your plans and put the results of the IQ/DMIT tests behind you. Best of luck to your son.
Follow me, if yet not followed. Thanks

Hii mere bete ne 20th ki exam di aage use science commerce ya dimploma karvaye is bare me thoda confuse hai hamne uska dmit bhi karvaya hai councelar ne dmit dekhkar kaha ki use science mat karvaye or engineering ki pdhai bhi nahi commerce ya arts karvaye phycologist me aage badh sakta hai is dmit test par kitna trust karna chahiye?... hamara vichar use diploma me cse karvane vichar tha kya kare ?

Ans: Hello Uday ji
DMIT tests are not 100% accurate. If you need, I would suggest going after the Psycometric Test. It gives rather better explanation and results. I feel if your son is scoring above 75% then you can definitely go for Diploma in CSE.

Hii sir muje aaose puchhna hai mere bete ne ssc kiboard ki exam fi hai aage ki padhai k bare me thoda confuse hai hambe dmit bhi karvaya ...to dmit k councelar ne hame science stram lene se mana kar diya hai aur engineering me bhi dalne se mana kiya hame use cse diploma me karvana chahte the lekin councelar ne commers aur arts me jane ki salah di hai dmit test par kitna trust karna chahiye kya kare

Ans: Uday Sir, thank you for reaching RediffGURU. Your concern is completely valid — and many parents face the same confusion after 10th, especially after taking a DMIT test. Let me explain everything in a clear and practical way: DMIT (Dermatoglyphics Multiple Intelligence Test) is based on fingerprint patterns and claims to assess a child’s inborn talents, personality, and learning style. While it can give some general insights, it is not scientifically proven and should not be the sole basis for career decisions. However, to some extent, Psychometric Test will be more helpful, compared to DMIT, providing some suitable career options for your son. So, use DMIT as a guidance tool, not as the final decision-maker. What Should You Focus on Instead? His Interest + Aptitude + Effort — These matter more than any test. Look at your son's performance in Maths, Science, English, etc. during SSC. Has he shown any interest in: Coding or Computers? Business or Finance? Design or Creativity? Communication or Language? Based on this, you/he can help select the right stream (Engineering | Medical | Commerce | Arts-Humanities) or he prefers Diploma (like CSE Diploma after 10th) if he's not confident about handling 11th-12th Science, then a diploma in Computer Engineering (CSE) is a good alternative. After 3 years of diploma, he can join 2nd year of Engineering (B.E/B.Tech) through lateral entry. But again, it should be based on his interest in technology or computers — not pressure.

Talk to your son — ask what he enjoys or dreams about. Use DMIT + school marks + family guidance together to decide. Don’t choose a stream only because “DMIT said so” or “log kya kahenge.” All the best for your Son's Bright Future!

Which is Best coaching centre for NEET 2026 with girls hostel including mess for near Max Speciality Hospital Lucknow

Ans: Aakash Institute’s Gomti Nagar centre, located directly opposite Max Speciality Hospital, ranks among Lucknow’s best for NEET 2026 preparation, offering comprehensive classroom programs, extensive test series, and regular doubt-clearing sessions tailored for Class 11–12 curricula. While the institute itself does not provide in-house hostels, several girls’ paying-guest accommodations with mess facilities lie within a 5- to 10-minute walk. For example, Rainbow Girls Hostel features fully furnished rooms, 24/7 security, and an on-site mess serving nutritious vegetarian and non-vegetarian meals. Nearby Priya Girls PG and Sona Girls PG also offer comfortable twin-sharing and private rooms, daily hygiene-compliant mess menus, Wi-Fi, and study areas, making them ideal complements to intensive NEET coaching. Allen Career Institute’s new Gomti Nagar branch similarly delivers expert NEET faculty and weekly mock tests but relies on adjacent PGs. Together, Aakash Institute’s proven pedagogy and the proximity of secure, mess-inclusive hostels provide a balanced environment for female aspirants near Max Hospital. All the best for your NEET Exam 2026 and a bright future!

Question by Keerthana - May 25, 2025

Career

My daughter got 94.93 percentile in JEE Mains. She is an OBC candidate.What are the preferences we should give priority to?She is also giving BITSAT a try. What should we prefer: NITs, IIITs or BITS?

Ans: Keerthana, For CSE/ECE, target NIT Trichy (CSE OBC-OS: 8,241–8,996; ECE OBC-OS: 3,080–3,546), NIT Surathkal (CSE OBC: 499–9,918), NIT Calicut (ECE OBC-HS: 11,853–14,647), NIT Durgapur (CSE OBC-OS: 3,182; ECE OBC-OS: 4,631), and NIT Raipur (CSE OBC-OS: 3,382–3,917; ECE OBC-OS: 4,631). CSE remains highly competitive, with cutoffs significantly lower for ECE across institutes. For example, NIT Trichy ECE (OBC-OS: 3,080–3,546) and NIT Raipur ECE (OBC-OS: 4,631) are more accessible. NIT Calicut offers ECE at OBC-HS ranks up to 14,647, while NIT Durgapur’s ECE (OBC-OS: 4,631) is viable. Prioritize ECE at NIT Trichy/Surathkal for reputation or CSE at NIT Raipur/Durgapur if rank aligns. Home State (HS) quotas (e.g., NIT Trichy CSE-HS: 11,196–20,185) may require higher ranks. Overall, focus on ECE in mid-tier NITs or CSE in newer NITs based on cutoff alignment. Please note, BITS needs minimum 290 marks to get admission to any one of the branches/campuses. All the best for your admission and a bright future!

Sir, my son has cleared 12th with 82% has secured 98.89 percentile with CRL 17171 in JEE Mains. His interest is in CSE/ECE and Research career. Please suggest suitable NIT or IIIT. I don't want to drop this year

Ans: Aditya Sir, With a JEE Main CRL of 17,171 (98.89 percentile) and 82% in Class 12, your son can target ECE at mid-tier NITs like NIT Silchar (ECE cutoff ~17,300), NIT Durgapur (~18,800), NIT Patna (~20,300), or NIT Raipur (~21,300), which offer strong academic reputations and research infrastructure. For CSE/IT, consider newer IIITs such as IIIT Lucknow (IT cutoff ~15,274), IIIT Pune (CSE ~13,000), IIITDM Kancheepuram (AI ~18,702), or IIIT Bhagalpur (CSE ~32,560), which focus on specialized domains like AI and data science. For research-oriented paths, explore integrated M.Tech programs at IIIT Allahabad (closing rank ~9,323) which combines UG studies with advanced research opportunities. While direct CSE admission in top NITs is unlikely, prioritize ECE at NITs for institutional reputation or opt for IIITs for niche CSE specializations. Encourage early engagement in research internships and projects to align with long-term academic goals, and consider lateral entry/GATE for future specialization. All the best for your son's admission and a bright future!

Sir after taking dropI Repeat 12th this year and give JEE but I can't qualify both sessions can I take any college and take partially drop to give jee once again?

Ans: Gagan, Taking a partial drop (preparing for JEE while attending college) is possible but challenging. Students often join engineering colleges via state quotas or management seats (e.g., AP/TS EAPCET Category-B) to secure admission with lower board scores (64% is sufficient for many private colleges). However, balancing college academics (attendance, assignments) with JEE prep requires strict time management and discipline. For instance, students in integrated programs (e.g., Resonance, Sri Chaitanya) combine 12th boards with JEE coaching, but this model is harder to replicate in college. Alternatives include lateral entry after a diploma or targeting colleges with flexible attendance policies. While partial drops are mentally taxing, they allow backup options if JEE isn’t cleared. Prioritize colleges with lighter academic loads or online/distance programs to focus on JEE. Note that NITs/IIITs require 75% boards (65% for reserved categories), so improving board scores via compartment exams may help future attempts. Recommendation: If confident in multitasking, opt for a partial drop; otherwise, focus on college and switch branches later via GATE or state exams. All the best for your admission and a bright future!

Sir I got 92 percentile in jee, 28000 viteee rank and 81 percent in boards, please suggest me some good collage with average package 10+ lpa and affordable fees

Ans: Adit, With a JEE Main 92 percentile (~1.2 lakh rank), VITEEE 28k rank, and 81% boards, target affordable colleges with 10+ LPA placements like Jadavpur University (govt.-subsidized fees, ~INR 10k/year, 10–12 LPA avg. for CSE/ECE) and NITs (Agartala, Meghalaya, Raipur) for Mechanical/Civil Engineering (fees: INR 5–7L total, 6–8 LPA avg., top roles up to 10+ LPA). IIIT Bhagalpur/Lucknow (fees: INR 4–6L total) offer IT/ECE with rising placement averages (8–12 LPA). For private options, Manipal Institute (ECE/Mechanical, fees: INR 13L total, 11.76 LPA avg.) and Thapar University (non-CSE, fees: INR 15–18L total, 8–10 LPA avg.) are viable. Prioritize state quotas (e.g., WBJEE) or lateral entry to upgrade branches. While 10+ LPA averages are challenging, focus on IT/ECE roles in IIITs or core sectors in NITs for better prospects. Scholarships (e.g., Manipal for 80%+ boards) can reduce costs. All the best for your admission and a bright future!

Sir my child got 92.4% in 12th and 85 percentile in jee .Can you please suggest some colleges for him

Ans: Rounak Sir, With 92.4% in 12th and 85 percentile in JEE Main, your child can target several reputable institutes through JoSAA counselling, mainly in non-core branches or at newer NITs and IIITs. Likely options include NIT Raipur, NIT Agartala, NIT Meghalaya, NIT Goa, NIT Puducherry, NIT Hamirpur, NIT Jalandhar, and NIT Durgapur for branches such as Electrical, Mechanical, Civil, Chemical, and Bioengineering. Some IIITs like IIIT Allahabad and IIITM Gwalior may offer seats in less competitive branches. Admission chances improve for reserved categories. Additionally, consider private universities like KIIT, LPU, Thapar, SRM, Amity, Chitkara, BIT Ranchi etc. as backup options. Apply to multiple colleges and keep an eye on spot rounds to maximize opportunities. All the best for your child's admission and a bright future!

My son has secured 9925 rank in B.arch but secured only 71percent in CBSE,and his score in PCM is 186/300 but if replace with the sixth subject the score is 232/300 whether he is eligible for JOSAA COUNSELLING

Ans: A student with a JEE Main B.Arch rank of 9,925 and CBSE Class 12 scores of 71% (PCM: 186/300) may still qualify for JoSAA counselling if their aggregate meets the 75% threshold (General category) or falls within the top 20 CBSE percentile. By replacing a low-scoring subject with a sixth subject (e.g., scoring 232/300), the aggregate could rise to ~77.3%, satisfying the eligibility criteria. For reserved categories (SC/ST/OBC), the requirement is 65%. If the recalculated aggregate remains below 75%, eligibility hinges on the CBSE board’s top 20 percentile cutoff for their category. The student’s JEE Main rank is competitive for NITs like NIT Raipur or NIT Hamirpur (2024 closing ranks: ~5,000–10,000). To proceed, verify the CBSE’s calculation of the best five subjects (including PCM) and confirm percentile status. If eligible, register on the JoSAA portal during the counselling window. Strategic subject substitution and percentile validation are critical to securing admission. All the best for your son's admission and a bright future!
