Sir, my son is in class 12th and preparing for JEE which is going good for 12th but his 11th is very weak and he is feeling the need to take a drop next year. What should he do currently

Ans: Hello dear.
If he is struggling in 11th grade, it could be due to a few specific chapters. Encourage him to focus on those areas or consider hiring expert personal tutors to help him with the 11th syllabus. However, one thing is certain: he should not consider taking a gap year at this point. Allow him to prepare, sit for the examination, and then wait for the results (anticipated score after the exam). Your son has two opportunities to attempt the JEE. Let him take both attempts before deciding on the possibility of a gap year.
Best of luck to you.

I did my class 12 in science and then took a year drop for neet but couldn't clear and i don't think there is any other scope in science for pcb should i shift to commerce and do my bcom from a govt.college and also prepare for ca but i am afraid i wont be able to clear it and be stuck .what should i do?

Ans: Hello Sania
You require in-person counseling. With PCB, numerous options are at your disposal. You may transition to commerce and begin your preparation for CA/CS. In the past, many students have undertaken this approach and achieved success as well. If you believe you can pass NEET, you might consider taking a gap year. Recommendation - Engage in a one-on-one discussion with a counselor or consult with your parents and teachers.
Best of luck to you.

Asked by Anonymous - May 26, 2025

Relationship

does looks matter in relationship?

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I’d be lying if I say it doesn’t matter at all. Should it matter? No. But does it matter? Yes. But here’s the good news- it is only for superficial attraction. Looks don’t carry a relationship to its end goal; personality and effort does. And the best news? Looks will fade with time, but the other two won’t.
But I also want you to remember, ‘Looks matter’ isn’t the universal truth. There are always exceptions, and for those people, it is usually kindness, emotional intelligence, and the other traits that matter more.

Hope this helps.
