IIT Hyderabad Mechanical Vs BITS Pilani CSE, which one to choose

Ans: IIT Hyderabad’s B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering operates under AICTE approval and NBA accreditation within a combined Mechanical & Aerospace department, led by 36 Ph.D.-qualified faculty engaged in industry-funded projects, and equipped with RF, VLSI, smart-grid, and design-manufacturing labs. Its curriculum integrates core mechanics, thermofluids, and design streams with research collaborations with DRDO and ISRO. Placement performance for Mechanical Engineering records a 53.70% placement rate over the past three years, with an average package of 18.71 LPA. Robust student support includes a Career Development Centre, technical clubs, and mentorship programs.

BITS Pilani’s B.Tech in CSE, a NAAC A++–accredited program, features a storied department founded in 1971, over 900 faculty across campuses, state-of-the-art AI, data science, and software engineering labs, and global Practice School internships. Its placement cell secures an 82.75% overall placement rate with first-degree students—CSE branch sees virtually all hires—and average packages of 19.70 LPA. Strong alumni networks, active coding societies, and career-readiness workshops further bolster student outcomes.

Recommendation: Considering higher placement consistency, cutting-edge computing infrastructure, and near-universal campus hires, choosing BITS Pilani’s CSE program best maximizes immediate employability and industry immersion, whereas IIT Hyderabad’s Mechanical Engineering offers specialized research exposure and emerging core-engineering opportunities. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Relationship

My wife posts everything on social media. Earlier she used to post about food and travel and our kids. Now if we have a fight or argument, she turns it into a funny reel or feminism post and everyone on her feed starts commenting. I am not on social media but when we meet socially, our common friends have started making fun of me like I am the villain. She calls herself an influencer and says it is helping her reach a wider audience. I told her she shouldn't post without my permission and it is leading to big arguments. I feel it is unfair. What should I do? Please help me sir

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand where you are coming from; it's not just the post. It's about your private life being turned into public content and mockery. Your reaction is valid and yes, it is unfair. I understand her interest in building an online presence, but it has to be separated from your right to privacy. Start with a calm conversation about this; express, verbally, how her posts make you feel. Instead of saying, "You can't post about is," try saying, "When our problems become content, it hurts the relationship and me." Or, you can say, "I am so happy that you are making content, but not when it involves our problems." It's the best way to frame the expression without sounding accusatory. Be clear about your boundaries: no posts about private matters, and consent is key. Give her real-word examples, like how your friends mock you. Try to keep the conversation as less accusatory as possible, to avoid a bigger conflict. Start with communicating your feelings.

Best Wishes

Hi Sir, I have this month sold one of my Flat which I had received in Redevelopment against my House in year August 2021 and hence, valuation on my earlier agreement was ZERO.. The Government Valuation of same Flat is about 22 lakh, whereas I have Sold same Flat with On Paper amount of 32 lakh (i.e. 10 lakh above Valuation). So First of all what will be the Taxable amount on my Flat. Will it be 32 lakh as there is no amount mentioned at the Time of Registration with developer, Or will it be 10 Lakh. Also request you to kindly advise options for Saving the Taxable amount.

Ans: Property owners in a redevelopment project are generally liable to pay Capital Gains Tax on hand over of property for redevelopment and liable to pay tax in the financial year the Occupancy Certificate (OC) or Completion Certificate is received. The capital gain is the difference between the Stamp Duty Value (SDV) of the new flat (plus any cash compensation) and the indexed cost of acquisition of the old flat. Accordingly, when new flat is sold, Stamp Duty Value (on which tax is already paid) becomes the cost of acquisition.

I understand that you have not paid tax at the time of hand over of property for redevelopment, accordingly, it is advisable to contact tax consultant.

Dear Sir, My name is Sanjay Shah. I retired on 31/3/2025 at the age of68 years. I have contributed to the Employees' Provident Fund until my retirement date. I have not withdrawn my pension amount until the retirement date. In June 2025, i applied for my Provident Fund (PF) amount, which I received subsequently. I applied, in November 2025, my pension amount, under Employees' Pension Scheme, (EPS) from November 2014 (pension eligible date) till pension retirement date, which i received on 10/2/2026 accumulated pension amount of Rs.3,29,448. There were no salary in the current year (2025-26), as i retired on 31/3/2025. Now my question is that this pension amount of Rs.3,29,448 can be considered as pension / salary and basic deduction of Rs.75,000 eligible ? for Income Tax calculation purposes. I have an income of approximately Rs.25 lakhs from FD interest, Bond interest, dividend from Company / MF etc. etc. This is for your informatioin. Hope to receive your reply asap. Thanks and regards. Sanjay Shah.

Ans: A pension received after retirement is eligible for a standard deduction of ?75,000 under the new tax regime, as it is treated as "Income from Salaries". If opting for the old tax regime, the deduction is ?50,000.
