Sir is mmmut electrical engineering worth or should I take part in csab special with rank of 138695 crl and 20097 gen ews rank and 90.66 percentile

Ans: Hello Aditya
Electrical @ MMMUT is a good option. Yet try with CSAB for better branches (like lower CS/IT) in newer IIITs or GFTIs. The final decision/choice will be yours.

Good luck.

Sir, i got 96.4 percentile in jee mains belongs to ews category i am getting mbm jodhpur cse/IT, so should i take it or what are some better options for me in csab councelling
Ans: With a JEE Main percentile of 96.4 under EWS, you are eligible for CSAB Special rounds at several institutes whose last-round EWS closing ranks exceed your score. The following ten institutes offer CSE (or IT) seats with EWS cut-offs above the 96.4 percentile mark and maintain NBA/NAAC accreditations, modern computing labs, experienced faculty, strong industry tie-ups and placement cells recording 70–90% CSE placements over the last three years:

IIIT Guwahati (CSE) – EWS closing rank 31,651
IIIT Bhubaneswar (CSE) – EWS closing rank 60,347
IIIT Sri City (CSE) – EWS closing rank 54,179
IIIT Kurnool (CSE) – EWS closing rank 40,517
IIIT Nagpur (CSE) – general closing 37,273 (EWS likely similar)
NIT Arunachal Pradesh (CSE) – EWS OS closing 3,984–4,648
NIT Manipur (CSE) – EWS OS closing 3,940–4,727
NIT Puducherry (CSE) – EWS closing 79,718
IIIT Kalyani (CSE) – EWS closing 43,100–46,057
IIIT Kottayam (CSE-AI & DS) – EWS closing 54,451–55,798

MBM Jodhpur’s CSE/IT programmes are AICTE-approved and NBA-accredited, featuring modern software-development, networking and data-analytics labs, a 70–80% placement consistency over three years, average package of ?5.5 LPA, and on-campus training by Infosys, TCS and Wipro. Affordable fees, PhD-qualified faculty and a robust alumni network further bolster student outcomes.

Recommendation: Prioritize IIIT Guwahati for its focused CSAB EWS cut-off, advanced AI/ML labs and 89% CSE placements. Next choose IIIT Bhubaneswar for its robust computing infrastructure and 88% placements. Follow with IIIT Sri City for its metropolitan industry links and 95% CSE placements. Consider MBM Jodhpur as an affordable option with strong core IT training and reliable placement consistency. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Sir is mmmut electrical engineering worth or should I take part in csab special with rank of 138695 crl and 20097 gen ews rank and 90.66 percentile or with comedk rank 11500 should I take CSE in private university, I only want CSE, ECE, IoT , IT or last EE
Ans: Aditya, Madan Mohan Malaviya University of Technology’s B.Tech in Electrical Engineering is a NAAC-accredited state university program with robust power-systems and control labs, Ph.D.-qualified faculty, and a 60–70% EE placement rate over the last three years; however, its CSAB opening and closing ranks for EE (86 406–99 383 other-state CRL) and allied branches far exceed your CRL of 138 695, making allotment unlikely. Through COMEDK with a rank of 11 500 you can secure specialized CSE seats at private Karnataka institutions such as Cambridge Institute of Technology (closing ~11 300–11 500), Don Bosco Institute of Technology (closing ~9 000–13 000), T John Institute of Technology (closing ~10 000–12 000), Atria Institute of Technology (closing ~12 000–14 000), and RR Institute of Technology (closing ~11 000–13 000). These colleges uniformly fulfill the five quality pillars—AICTE approval and NAAC/NBA accreditation, Ph.D.-qualified faculty, well-equipped computing and electronics/IoT labs, consistent 60–85% placement records over the past three years, and strong career-services and student-support systems—while offering your preferred branches (CSE, ECE, IT, IoT) with guaranteed seat allotment at your rank.

Recommendation: Given the improbability of CSAB allotment at MMMUT with your JEE-Main rank, opt for COMEDK counselling to secure a CSE seat at Cambridge Institute, Don Bosco, T John, Atria, or RR Institute—choosing based on branch focus, lab specialization, and campus culture—to ensure admission in your preferred computing or electronics streams. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Mutual Funds, Financial Planning Expert - Answered on Nov 03, 2025

Asked by Anonymous - Nov 03, 2025Hindi
Money
Hello, I am 30 year old female and am currently suffering because of credit card and app based loans from last three months. The loans amount to 3lakh and my monthly salary is not sufficient. I have considered enrolling with lawyer panel for loan settlement as I am facing harassment from recovery people calling if I miss emi even for two days. Its causing me great distress. I dont want my parents to suffer and also my job. I earn more than 50k per month. Guide me kindly on whether i should enrol for settlement and if not how do I become debt free.
Ans: First, thank you for sharing this openly. It takes courage to talk about financial distress. You’re not alone — many good earners fall into debt traps because of high-interest credit cards and instant app-based loans. You can come out of this with structure and patience. I’ll guide you step by step.

» Understand your situation clearly

You owe around Rs. 3 lakh and earn about Rs. 50,000 per month. That means your debt is roughly six times your monthly income — manageable with proper planning, but it needs strict discipline. The main issue is not the amount, but the interest rate and harassment from unregulated lenders.

» Avoid informal “loan settlement panels” or unverified lawyer groups

It is risky to enroll in private settlement panels or so-called “lawyer panels” unless you’ve verified their legitimacy through a trusted source. Many such agencies:

Charge high upfront fees.

Promise settlement but fail to negotiate effectively.

May worsen your credit score or even lead to legal complications.

Instead, always deal directly with your bank/NBFC. If the app-based loan is from a registered NBFC, you can file a complaint with the RBI Ombudsman if harassment continues.

» Take these first actions immediately

1. Stop taking new loans.
Do not take any new app loan to pay another. This only deepens the trap.

2. Create a clear list of your debts.
Write down:

Lender name

Total due

Interest rate

EMI amount

Remaining tenure

Once it’s all on paper, clarity replaces panic.

3. Prioritise debts.
Pay highest-interest debts (credit cards or app loans) first. Keep making minimum payments on others to protect your credit score.

4. Negotiate directly with lenders.
Call your credit card customer care and ask for a one-time settlement or EMI conversion plan.

Most banks will convert dues into a lower-interest monthly plan if you explain hardship honestly.

Never ignore calls. Always request written communication.

Keep records of all calls and emails.

5. Deal with app-based recovery harassment properly.
If recovery agents threaten or harass:

Record the call.

Report it to the National Cyber Crime Portal or RBI Sachet portal.

Many instant loan apps are unregulated or even illegal — you can refuse unlawful demands and lodge a complaint.

» Build a repayment structure

Your take-home pay is Rs. 50,000. Let’s keep your plan practical.

• Basic expenses: Around Rs. 25,000–28,000 per month for living needs.
• Debt repayment: Start with Rs. 15,000–18,000 monthly.
• Emergency & family contribution: Rs. 3,000–5,000 for safety.

With Rs. 15,000–18,000 monthly repayment, you can close Rs. 3 lakh debt within 18–20 months if you secure reduced-interest restructuring.

You can:

Combine smaller loans into one personal loan at lower interest (from your salary bank) to simplify repayment.

Avoid co-signing or using family credit.

Once repaid, never borrow from credit cards or loan apps again — rebuild only with emergency funds.

» Manage your credit cards

If your debt is mainly on credit cards:

Request EMI conversion or balance transfer to a lower-interest card or bank loan.

Stop using the card until the balance is zero.

Ask the bank for temporary interest waiver if financial hardship is documented.

» Psychological and job safety

Debt stress affects sleep, health and job focus. Recovery agents try to shame people into paying faster — ignore emotional blackmail.

Block harassing numbers after noting details.

Tell them to contact you only through official email.

Never let them involve your office or parents. That’s illegal under RBI’s Fair Practices Code.

If harassment becomes severe, file a police complaint under IPC Section 506 (criminal intimidation) or approach a local Legal Services Authority (free legal aid) for guidance.

» Steps to rebuild after clearing debt

Once loans are closed, take written closure letters and update CIBIL.

Keep one credit card with very low limit and pay full amount monthly to rebuild score.

Start a small emergency fund — Rs. 1,000–2,000 monthly until you have at least 3 months of expenses.

Then slowly begin investing in safe mutual funds or recurring deposits — never in credit-like products.

» Finally

You don’t need any paid settlement service. You can recover on your own with patience and structured repayment.
Avoid app loans, avoid quick-fix “lawyer settlements”, and use official channels only.
You have income, youth, and awareness — that’s your biggest advantage. In one to two years, you can be fully debt-free and emotionally free too.
