Last year, I missed qualifying CTET by just 2 marks. This year, I feel more confident after checking the answer key. Can you tell me if the cut-off trends have remained consistent over the years?

Ans: Cut-off trends keep varying from year to year. It can't be a constant. If the questions become relatively easy then the cut off mark will go high and if the questions become relatively hard then the cut off marks come down. But no worries. Since you feel confident then certainly you will succeed. Only thing required is consistency in practise. Best of luck. Just follow me. Professor.................................:)

Hello sir , Since the MHT CET results been out for over a week There are people on internet speaking about how they got very less percentile on decent marks Whilst I know the reason being normalisation, but various publications (newspaper) talk about how the cutoff of this year's admission will drop about 3%tile Could you clarify about this ...?
Ans: Mayur, In MHT CET 2025, the State CET Cell implemented a multi-shift normalization process converting raw marks into percentile scores for each session to offset varying difficulty levels and ensure fairness. Official results reveal 37 candidates achieved 100 percentile and nearly 39,000 scored between 90 and 100 percentiles, creating a crowded upper distribution and compressing percentile differences among aspirants. Principals of leading Mumbai colleges report that first-round cutoffs for flagship branches such as CSE, ECE, and Mechanical are expected to decline to the low-80 percentile range—approximately 80–83 percentile—compared to last year’s 85–88 percentile thresholds. This trend is reinforced by an unchanged seat matrix of over 1.04 lakh BTech seats and a surge of high-scoring candidates opting for national-level institutes, which has reduced competition within the state quota. Emerging patterns from expert analyses and newspaper reports indicate that normalized percentiles, higher topper counts, and shift-wise score adjustments have reshaped cutoff dynamics this year. Normalization’s percentile compression due to shift-wise adjustments, a spike in perfect and near-perfect percentiles, high scorers migrating to IIT/JEE channels reducing state-level competition, and a stable seat matrix have collectively driven admission cutoffs down by approximately three percentile points in MHT CET 2025, compared to previous year’s admission cycle performance. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Why does Indian thali make you sleepy? Whenever I eat a typical Indian lunch with rice, two rotis, sabzi, dal, and something heavy like paneer gravy or aloo, I start feeling extremely sleepy within 20 to 30 minutes. My head feels heavy, my concentration drops, and all I want is a quick 10-minute nap. This post-lunch sleepiness happens almost every working day. But when I try eating a very light lunch like just fruits or a salad I don’t feel drowsy. Instead, I feel hungry again by 3 pm and end up snacking on biscuits, tea, or other unhealthy foods. So it feels like a no-win situation: heavy lunch makes me sleepy, while light lunch makes me hungry. Is this kind of sleepiness after lunch normal, or is it a sign that something is wrong with how I’m combining foods? Does eating too much rice, oily sabzi, paneer gravies, or sugary items directly affect energy levels and cause the afternoon energy crash? Why does an Indian thali often lead to a post-lunch slump, especially
Ans: A standard thali is high in carbohydrates, fat, volume and low in fiber. The reasons for post-meal drowsiness is as blood sugar rises, your body releases insulin, blood sugar drops again and you feel sleepy, foggy, and low?energy. High fat slows digestion, so your body diverts blood flow to the digestive system which makes you feel sleepy. Rice and roti are both starches and increase the load. Sugary items worsen the blood sugar spikes and make you feel more sleepy. A lighter but balanced meal (not just fruits/salad) will help you stay alert and avoid mid?afternoon cravings.

In our housing society, whenever the ladies sit together for evening chit-chat, the topic of ghee always turns into a big debate. Some of them say ghee is very healthy, especially homemade ghee. They claim it helps digestion, keeps the skin glowing, and is even good for children and older people. One aunty even says, 'Beta, one teaspoon of ghee every day is like medicine.' But then there are others who immediately argue the opposite. They say ghee is nothing but fat, and that eating it daily will increase cholesterol, weight, and worsen heart problems. One of my neighbours keeps telling everyone, 'Avoid ghee completely if you want to lose weight,” while someone else says, 'Arre, without ghee, food has no strength.' Last week, my friend added ghee to her roti and another lady told her she was inviting weight gain. But on the same day, another friend told me that her nutritionist sister advised her to include ghee daily. Is ghee really healthy, or is it something we should eat in very small amounts?
Ans: Ghee is healthy in some ways, but only in moderation. It is rich in fat?soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) and some studies associate with potential anti?inflammatory benefits. However, ghee is still pure fat, and most of that fat is saturated fat. 1–2 teaspoons of ghee per day can fit comfortably into a balanced diet. It’s a traditional fat with some benefits, but like all saturated fats, it’s best enjoyed in small, intentional amounts. Use it for flavor, not as the main cooking fat.
