I am mechanical engineer of 2005 batch.i worked for 6 years and then aftrr gap of 9 years again worked for 2 years.what should i do next with .y degree.

Ans: Soham, you can take the NIOS test, but you must score at least 75% or be in the top 20% (including NIOS). Also, keep in mind that if you get an 80 percentile, you won't get good NITs, IIITs, or GFTIs in any branch other than the one you want. Should this year not go as planned, please prepare for the JEE and consider taking it again next year. You should also try to improve your score in NIOS and JEE. Instead of just relying on JEE/JoSAA Counseling, though, have backup plans with 4–5 private engineering colleges. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Ans: Parth, I have already answered your question here: https://gurus.rediff.com/question/qdtl/career/cbse-pcb-nios-maths-considered-equivalent-pcm-requirenment-eligible-take/5250276

Ans: Please ask your question in the follow-up section to review what you asked previously.

Ans: Yes, you can study Class 11–12 again on your own and appear for JEE Main and JEE Advanced; the 75% marks rule matters mainly at the time of admission, not for taking the exams.

Good luck.

Ans: Before I answer your question, Vikas Sir, I want to ensure that your daughter doesn't spend more than 45 minutes a day on her phone or other electronic devices. If your daughter becomes addicted, she risks eye strain, headaches from blue light, poor posture, weight gain from inactivity, sleep issues from late-night use, and eating problems. It can also hurt her mind by making her depressed and anxious (27% more likely), making it difficult to concentrate and study, making her feel lonely and isolated from less real interaction, making her feel low self-esteem from comparison traps, and making her stressed and irritable from dopamine crashes.

Even if both parents work, keep communication open to boost her confidence—know what she loves. She should study 4-5 hours daily using NIOS books/SWAYAM and Class 10 mocks with the Pomodoro technique (25-30 mins study, 5-10 mins break) to stay focused. Add 30 minutes of skills like coding/typing or Duolingo English if interested, plus 10 minutes of yoga, hobbies (gardening/cooking/drawing/poems), and walks/cycling for fitness and fun. Finally, join NIOS WhatsApp groups for doubts and help at home and track weekly goals with rewards. Don't force anything—let her choose what excites her most! All the BEST for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future!

Fess abroad: Marine biology degrees typically range from $15,000 to over $50,000 USD per year; this is depending on the country and university also.

Ans: Yes, CBSE PCB + NIOS Maths is the same as PCM for getting into engineering colleges. You can apply if you pass the exam or interview. NIOS marksheet adds to CBSE for Math and is accepted by JEE, MHT-CET, and most colleges (like PICT Pune). No problems with two mark sheets, provided you meet the other eligibility criteria. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!
