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!

Relationship
Mam, I am in relationship with one girl since 2.5 year and my girlfriend told about our relationship to her mom. Every positive point of mine which told by my girlfriend to her mom but every point taken negetivly and denied to her.. Move on from relationship... Leave this relationship. He is not good boy.. The problem of her mother is the caste as well as I am Divorcee person and she is unmarried. We love to each other and want to marry. Due to her mother oppose, she is nervousness totally or told that she has no any idea what to do... How to do.. She is not sure she is convince to her family or not. She told that I don't know how much time she can servive to convince her family. Totally her mind felt like empty, dumb, nervousness. Her father not know about our relationship. When this type moment occurs she behave that sometime it is agree to make efforts for convince and sometime when she is nervousness that time she told that i can not convince and to do the breakup because she is not want to go against the her mom and family. But she told that also she want to marry with me. What should I do?
Ans: I am going with the assumption you both are adults who are thinking individuals. I am also assuming you are both financially independent.

Families, parents are important and it should be so. I understand parents apprehension, having said this, I do not get it why caste and relationship status as previously married takes precedence over compatibility. One should also realise that every relationship needs working upon by 2 people- there is no certainty if someone gets married within their caste or choice of parents/ family.

Coming to your issue there are 2 options

- she is open to take the step upsetting her parents and getting married to you

or

- she and you need to move on and move on in the true sense. which means no connection whatsoever, move out of each other's social media, block contact details and move on, heal yourself and find someone else.
