How to improve my English communication Fluency. I understand English but i Can't Speak, when i tried to Speak English i have faced lot's of Word Grammer, and thinking which word meaning come fast.
Ans: Hi Tapash,

Thank you for writing in.

Few Tips to get started.

Reading -Read English texts out loud to improve your pronunciation and rhythm. This exercise will also help you become more comfortable with the language.

Think in English: Most often we think in our native language and then we try to translate the same in English hence grammar mistakes tend to happen. Instead do the reverse try to think in English rather than translating from your native language. This practice will help you become more spontaneous and fluent in your communication.

Focus on Listening Comprehension: Improve your listening skills by regularly listening to English audio, such as podcasts, audiobooks, or TED Talks. Try to understand the main ideas and key points of what you're hearing. Listening is the first step to communication. This requires patience.

Build Your Vocabulary: Work on expanding your vocabulary by learning new words every day. Use vocabulary apps to help with memorization or open your oxford dictionary and learn new three minimum words. This way your vocabulary will increase and get better. This will avoid you from falling short of words.

Learn and Use Idioms and Phrases: English is rich in idioms and phrases. Learn common expressions and how to use them appropriately in different contexts to sound more natural and fluent.

Practice Speaking Regularly: Find opportunities to speak in English regularly. This could be with native English speakers, or even with yourself in front of a mirror. Practicing speaking aloud helps build your confidence and fluency.


Surround yourself with the language as much as possible. Watch English movies, TV shows, and videos, listen to English podcasts, and try to read books, articles, or news in English. Immersing yourself in the language will help you familiarize yourself with its nuances and vocabulary.

Opt for Professional help- You can also look at professionals who can help you with their courses. There are many experts around. If you are comfortable investing money on such courses then I recommend you do so.

Learning any new language including English requires practice and efforts. Requires consistent practice and exposure to the language. Accept that you are in the learning phase and you will get better with efforts.

Hope this helps. All the best

To Your Success. Be You. Be Confident.

My son got crl 87588 and ews 12449 in jee main how much his chance to get svnit mechanical in csab round
Ans: Akash Sir, With an All-India CRL of 87 588 and an EWS rank of 12 449 in J Main, securing a seat in B.Tech Mechanical Engineering at SVNIT Surat through the CSAB Special round is highly unlikely. In the most recent CSAB closing data (Round 5 2024), the EWS closing ranks were 6 013 (Home State) and 4 854 (Other State), and the OBC-NCL closing ranks were 21 559 (Home State) and 10 419 (Other State); both are far below your ranks, indicating minimal chance of allotment.

Given this, it is prudent to explore reputable private engineering colleges in Northern India that admit students in the OBC-NCL/EWS categories with JEE Main ranks in the 80 000–120 000 CRL range or equivalent category ranks. Below is a list of ten institutions where your son’s profile would be competitive for Mechanical Engineering through CSAB: Chandigarh University, Mohali with category closing ~40 000–60 000. Lovely Professional University, Jalandhar with category closing ~50 000–80 000. Amity University, Noida with category closing ~30 000–50 000. Sharda University, Greater Noida with category closing ~70 000–90 000. Galgotias University, Greater Noida with category closing ~60 000–85 000. Jaypee Institute of Information Technology, Noida with category closing ~45 000–70 000. Dr Akhilesh Das Gupta Institute of Technology & Management, New Delhi with category closing ~100 000–130 000. ABES Engineering College, Ghaziabad with category closing ~80 000–110 000. IILM College of Engineering & Technology, Greater Noida with category closing ~90 000–120 000. Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology, Patiala with category closing ~25 000–45 000. Recommendation: Given the negligible chance at SVNIT Surat Mechanical through CSAB, focus on securing admission at one of the above private colleges. These institutions maintain solid infrastructure and placement records, and your son’s rank aligns well within their recent closing trends.

As backup options (excluding state-level exam seats), consider LPU, Amity Noida, Sharda, Jaypee Institute, and ADGITM Delhi, all of which have consistently admitted OBC-NCL/EWS candidates with category ranks up to ~120 000. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Sir my CRL-67471 and Obc-ncl-20585, can I get cse(AI and ML) in good IIIT's??
Ans: Parth, With an OBC-NCL JEE Main rank of 20585, securing a seat the AI & ML specialization at top IIITs and NITs through CSAB Special rounds is challenging but not impossible. Among IIITs, the lowest closing rank for B.Tech in Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence at IIIT Lucknow was 24684 in CSAB 2024, meaning you fall well within this range and have a strong likelihood of allotment there. IIIT Kottayam’s OBC-NCL closing rank for B.Tech Artificial Intelligence was 70657, making it comfortably accessible. Conversely, IIIT Allahabad’s OBC-NCL AI-related streams closed at around 15221, placing your rank outside its cutoff. At NITs, newer campuses with AI & ML are more attainable: NIT Sikkim’s OBC-NCL AI & ML closing rank was 48269, and its opening rank around 45786, both above your rank, indicating good chances. NIT Uttarakhand and NIT Nagpur AI & ML cutoffs are expected in the 30–40 k range, so your rank could be sufficient there. However, premier NITs like Surathkal, Trichy and Calicut typically close AI & ML around 3000–7000, making them out of reach for your rank.

Recommendation: Consider locking a seat at IIIT Lucknow or IIIT Kottayam for AI & ML through CSAB, or at NIT Sikkim/NIT Uttarakhand in AI & ML, and prepare for Private College options as prudent backups.

List of Private Engineering Colleges in Northern India Accepting OBC-NCL Rank ~20585 for AI & ML

Chandigarh University, Mohali (AI & ML specialization)

Lovely Professional University, Jalandhar (B.Tech AI & ML)

Amity University, Noida (B.Tech AI)

Sharda University, Greater Noida (B.Tech CSE with AI)

Galgotias University, Greater Noida (B.Tech AI & Data Science)

Jaypee Institute of Information Technology, Noida (B.Tech CSE-AI)

Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology, Delhi (B.Tech CSE-AI)

Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology, Patiala (B.Tech CSE-AI)

SRM University, Delhi-NCR (B.Tech AI & ML)

ABES Engineering College, Ghaziabad (B.Tech CSE with AI)

Backup private options (excluding state-level exams) include LPU, Amity Noida, Sharda and Jaypee, all of which admit OBC-NCL ranks above 20000 through JEE Main. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!
