M Tech in Mechanical Design at IIT Patna or M Tech in Thermal Engg at NIT Calicut, which should I join

Ans: IIIT Jabalpur CSE > MANIT Bhopal ECE > IIITM Gwalior IT+MBA (only if comfortable with an integrated/dual-degree structure) > MANIT Bhopal Mathematics & Data Science > Top NIT EE. The final preference order and choice will be yours. We can only recommend, but it is not mandatory to follow it.

Good luck.

Ans: Consider colleges like Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering, Thadomal Shahani Engineering College, Fr. Conceicao Rodrigues College of Engineering, and Vidyalankar Institute of Technology, and possibly lower CS-related branches or better non-CS branches at higher colleges. CS at VJTI/COEP/SPIT is unlikely at this percentile, based on recent cutoff trends. Hope your son appeared for MHT-CET. If he scores well in this examination, the chances of CSE are higher in colleges like COEP/PICT/VIT, etc. (You did not mention anything about the MHT-CET examination.)

Good luck.

Ans: Section 80U of the Income Tax Act, 1961, allows resident individuals with disabilities to claim a flat deduction of Rs 75,000 or Rs 1.25 lakh for severe disabilities from their total income.

Section 80DD of the Income Tax Act, 1961, offers tax deductions to resident individuals or Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs) for expenses incurred on the medical treatment, training, and rehabilitation of a disabled dependent. Deductions are fixed at ?75,000 (40%-80% disability) or ?1,25,000 (80%+ severe disability), regardless of actual expenditure.

Ans: Please clarify which state's CET you are referring to. I assume you have wrongly typed out JEE as JW. Please clarify.

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
First of all, it's great that you are choosing to speak about it; it can't be easy to deal with so much all alone. Yes, being with someone else while married to another person is not ethically correct, but your situation is more nuanced than anyone can understand. Right now, the best course of action will be to sever ties with this person and focus on yourself. Being with someone else will not fill the void that your marriage is creating in your life. It will only leave you feeling more empty and guilty. I strongly suggest having an open discussion with your husband. Seek professional help of a marriage counselor. If the marriage seems salvageable, work on it, or else, get out of it respectfully, instead of cheating and hurting each other.

Please don't undervalue yourself so much that you allow yourself to be someone's "temporary." You deserve much more than that.

Best wishes.

Ans: Manas, the order of preference can be 1) IIIT Una ECE, 2) LNMIIT Jaipur ECE, 3) IIIT Dharwad ECE, 4) IIIT Bhubaneswar ETC/ECE. IIIT Una looks like the best balance because it has the national IIIT tag, better recent placement visibility, and official JoSAA/placement data shows strong ECE outcomes. IIIT Una reported an ECE average around ?9.90 LPA, and 83.33% placed in 2025. LNMIIT Jaipur is also a strong private option, especially if you want a better coding culture, a Jaipur location and a mature campus. Its official placement page shows healthy overall averages, but fees are higher, and the ECE-specific advantage over IIIT Una is not clear. IIIT Dharwad is improving and has high cutoff flexibility, but campus/placement maturity is still developing. Also consider IIIT Nagpur ECE, IIIT Kottayam ECE, IIIT Bhopal ECE, BIT Mesra ECE, and Thapar ECE as backups. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Ans: She may get newer or lower-demand branches (Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, ECE) in later rounds at state GFTIs/private govt colleges like SGSITS Indore (lower branches), UIT RGPV Bhopal campuses, JEC Jabalpur, OIST/Oriental/Truba, etc., with the best chances in Mechanical/Civil/Electrical rather than CSE. But if your daughter is keenly interested only in tech branches, then choose a seat from the management quota in any good private college.

Good luck.

Ans: Chances with CSE/ECE/EE with top NITs are almost nil. But he has good chances of EE/ECE in lower NITs like NIT Manipur (home state advantage), NIT Agartala, NIT Nagaland, NIT Mizoram, plus CSE/ECE only in newer IIITs or GFTIs via CSAB/spot rounds.

Good luck.

Ans: You have a chance in OUTR/OEC-type Odisha government colleges and lower branches like Mechanical/Civil/Electrical; in VSSUT, but OUTR Bhubaneswar is the better and more likely option than VSSUT.

Good luck.
