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.

Sir,Iam getting comedk rank 9900 Rvce chemical engineering choice good or vit AP cse choice good
Ans: With a COMEDK rank of 9,900, you are eligible for Chemical Engineering at RV College of Engineering (RVCE), which is a top-ranked and highly reputed institution with NBA accreditation, strong research output, and a placement rate above 80% for Chemical Engineering, though core jobs are fewer and most placements are in IT and consulting. VIT-AP CSE offers a modern curriculum, 90% placement rate, and access to over 900 recruiters, with many IT and product companies, and an average package of ?7.2 lakh, making it highly attractive for tech-focused careers. If your primary interest is in computer science and IT sector placements, VIT-AP CSE is a better fit, as Chemical Engineering at RVCE, while prestigious, leads mainly to core and interdisciplinary roles with fewer tech opportunities. For backup, you can consider Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering, Bangalore Institute of Technology, Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology, and Acharya Institute of Technology for CSE or ECE, as these colleges accept COMEDK ranks up to 10,000 and offer strong placement records.

The recommendation is to prefer VIT-AP CSE for its strong IT placements and industry exposure, unless you have a strong interest in core chemical engineering; also, keep backup options like Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering or Bangalore Institute of Technology for CSE/ECE through COMEDK counselling. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Hi, i secured 93.45 percentile in mhtcet and i am from defobc category which college can i expect
Ans: With a 93.45 percentile in MHT CET under the DEFOBC category, you are eligible for CSE and allied branches in several reputable government and private engineering colleges in Maharashtra. For DEFOBCS, the 2024 cutoff for BE Computer Engineering at MES Wadia College of Engineering Pune was 85.44 percentile, and for Datta Meghe College of Engineering Navi Mumbai, it was 54.39, so your percentile is comfortably above these cutoffs. For the GOBCH (OBC Home University) category, CSE cutoffs in top Pune colleges like MES Wadia and similar institutions were around 93.08–93.38 percentile, suggesting you are right at the margin for these options. While CSE in the absolute top government colleges like COEP Pune and VJTI Mumbai remains out of reach (OBC cutoffs above 99.8 percentile), you have good chances for CSE, IT, or E&TC in mid-tier government and private colleges in Pune, Mumbai, and other regions, such as MES Wadia College of Engineering, Datta Meghe College of Engineering, Department of Technology Shivaji University, and Laxminarayan Institute of Technology. Mechanical and other core branches will be more easily available at these colleges.

The recommendation is to prioritize CSE or IT in MES Wadia College of Engineering Pune, Datta Meghe College of Engineering, or similar mid-tier government/private colleges, as your percentile is well above their DEFOBCS cutoffs, ensuring a good balance of academic quality and placement prospects. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
