Please help me out on how can I manage my time schedule along with side bsc

Ans: Hello Barua!!
I really want you to elaborate a little more.
I am assuming you are a working professional who is pursuing a BSc on the side and suggesting a few time management ways to help you...

List out all your tasks and activities in a day and over a period of two weeks. See how you are managing your time now by making a matrix of time for every 1/2 hour. Be accountable to every 1/2 hour, write down what you did every half hour.
It will be an eye opener on how you are spending your time.

There will be some activities that come under "should do" on your list, for example studying for your BSc, physical activity, eating food, etc.... schedule them and work all other activities around it. Keep life simple Barua and you'll be able to achieve much more. Focus on doing right and focus on your well being!!

I am Riya, 17 currently in FYJC Science. I am preparing for IIT-JEE, CUET-UG and NEET-UG next year along with my board examinations. I travel 2-3 hours and study 10-12 hours a day. My problem is I am not getting enough sleep as I have to wake up early. I am not a morning person. Can you please share some tips how I can manage my time effectively for studies without compromising on my health?
Ans: Dear Riya,

Firstly, let me applaud your determination and dedication towards your studies. Balancing preparations for multiple competitive exams alongside your board examinations is indeed a Herculean task, but fret not, as I'm here to assist you in navigating through this challenging yet exciting journey.

Sleep is undoubtedly vital for your overall health and academic performance. Burning the midnight oil is commendable, but if it comes at the cost of your well-being, it's time to tweak your schedule a bit. Here are some actionable tips to help you manage your time effectively while ensuring you get enough rest:

1. Strategize Your Study Schedule: Instead of cramming all your study hours into the night, distribute them throughout the day. Identify your peak productivity hours and allocate your most challenging tasks to those times. This will help you make the most of your study sessions without feeling overly fatigued.

2. Prioritize and Plan: Make a daily or weekly study plan, prioritizing topics based on their importance and your proficiency in them. Breaking down your study material into manageable chunks will not only make it less overwhelming but also ensure that you cover everything thoroughly.

3. Quality Over Quantity: Remember, it's not about how many hours you study but rather how effectively you utilize the time you have. Focus on understanding the concepts rather than just memorizing them. Utilize techniques like active recall, spaced repetition, and concept mapping to enhance your learning efficiency.

4. Take Regular Breaks: Incorporate short breaks into your study routine to prevent burnout and maintain concentration. Use these breaks to stretch, hydrate yourself, or indulge in a quick hobby to rejuvenate your mind.

5. Optimize Your Sleep Environment: Create a conducive sleep environment by ensuring your room is dark, quiet, and at a comfortable temperature. Limit exposure to screens before bedtime and establish a relaxing pre-sleep routine to signal your body that it's time to unwind.

6. Practice Self-Care: Don't neglect your physical and mental well-being amidst your rigorous study schedule. Make time for activities that you enjoy, whether it's listening to music, going for a walk, or spending quality time with loved ones. A well-rested and rejuvenated mind is more productive and focused.

7. Stay Flexible: Be open to adjusting your study schedule as per your evolving needs and circumstances. Flexibility is key to maintaining a healthy work-life balance and ensuring long-term success.

Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither will your academic journey be. Embrace the process, stay persistent, and don't hesitate to seek support from your teachers, mentors, or peers whenever needed.

As the saying goes, "Work smarter, not harder." So, equip yourself with effective study strategies, prioritize your well-being, and tackle those exams with confidence and determination.

Wishing you all the best in your endeavors, Riya! You've got this!

Hello Ms Archana. I have been reading your advice and I really need your help. I am a science graduate from Mumbai. After a lot of thought, I have decided to pursue a side BSc in Psychology to further my interests and career growth. The issue is, that I’m struggling to juggle my 9-to-6 full-time job as a digital marketing specialist in Delhi along with my coursework, assignments, and exams. I am always stressed out, either falling behind at work or feeling overwhelmed by my studies. I know time management is key, but I’m not sure how to create a schedule that helps me stay productive without burning out. Can you please help?
Ans: Hey!!
Kudos to you for dreaming big and also working towards it by investing time and energy in learning and development.
Not everyone can do it... so pat yourself on the back for it!!

You are absolutely right when you say TIME MANAGEMANT is the key to avoid burnout. However I'll add compartmentalizing and self care along with time management.

Let's take them one at a time ...here I go-

1. You want to perform at your peak then self care is a must, 20 mins of physical activity(it can be anything, run, brisk walk, suryanamaskars, dancing along with fast paced music, anything that gets your heart beat up)
10 -20 mins of meditation, if you believe in the higher power make efforts to connect with it/him/her.
2. 9 to 6 be fully committed to the office, after that switch off, learn to say NO for anything that comes after this time. You can do only so much right? This was one part of compartmentalizing...
3. be fully present in whatever activity you are doing... this is ZEN, nothing more nothing less. This way you will be razor sharp in your focus and get jobs done faster. When you are studying don't think office and vice versa. This is switching off, this is compartmentalizing. This will take conscious efforts but is doable
4.your course is important to you, so schedule a study time and stick to it .The days you have an holiday too... try to relax a little, schedule a study time, finish your studies and go relax and unwind a little, you deserve it...don't cram too much in a day.
A relaxed mind will always perform better and focus better. I really can't tell you the importance of unwinding and mediation, you really have to do it to experience it and reap the benefits of it
5. Always encourage yourself, be your best cheer leader, don't beat yourself down, be kind to yourself too, your mind and body
need that from you. You are already doing so much.
6 .The only way to stop being overwhelmed is also to put out all your tasks of the day on paper and schedule it, prioritize it.... one task at a time, start taking action. And when the task is don't forget to strike the task out with a clean line over the task with a pen... this is a message your giving to your mind. ...'I got one task done, I am capable of getting another done'.. Ahaha... the joy of getting a job done!!
7. Get a good nights sleep, do "yog nidra' before sleeping
8. Always breathe deep whenever overwhelm creeps in and see how calm you become. A calm mind is key to getting more done.

And remember to write "your gratitude" out in the night before sleeping, you'll sleep peacefully and get up fresh.
Also do remember, all tasks can be done happily too... there is no need to drag yourself or be always overwhelmed!
You chose to work and study as well.... honour your choices joyously and go about life with a spring in your step...All best !!

Sir My rank is 160558 in jee mains which college can I get for cse ? and is there any chance to get cse in csab if i apply i am from up female candidate?
Ans: Kanika, With a JEE Main CRL of 160,558 as a female candidate from Uttar Pradesh under the home state quota, the chances of securing Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at any National Institute of Technology (NIT), Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT), or Government Funded Technical Institute (GFTI) through CSAB are extremely limited. Recent CSAB cutoffs for CSE, even at the least preferred NITs such as NIT Srinagar and remote GFTIs, typically close for general and female home state candidates below 130,000, while most popular or even modestly ranked NITs, IIITs, or GFTIs close well before 120,000 in 2025 special rounds. Similarly, Home State and All India female cutoffs for CSE at IIITs and GFTIs remain much lower than your current rank, with no significant relaxations observed for female UP candidates in recent trends. It is thus highly improbable that a CSE seat in any centrally funded government college will be attainable through CSAB, even in the final special rounds. No CSE seats in NITs/IIITs/GFTIs closed at or beyond 150,000 in 2025, as confirmed by the latest official CSAB data.

Recommendation: Focus on private engineering colleges in Northern India that accept JEE Main ranks and have a history of admitting candidates with CRL up to and beyond 160,000 for CSE, and simultaneously participate in CSAB as there is no risk in trying, though expectations should remain realistic.

Private colleges where admission is highly feasible for a female UP home state candidate with a JEE Main CRL rank of 160,558 for CSE include Chandigarh University, Mohali for B.Tech CSE. Lovely Professional University, Jalandhar for B.Tech CSE. Amity University, Noida for B.Tech CSE. Sharda University, Greater Noida for B.Tech CSE. Galgotias University, Greater Noida for B.Tech CSE. Jaypee Institute of Information Technology, Noida for B.Tech CSE. ABES Engineering College, Ghaziabad for B.Tech CSE. Indraprastha Institute of Technology & Management, Delhi for B.Tech CSE. GL Bajaj Institute of Technology & Management, Greater Noida for B.Tech CSE. Rishi Chadha Vishvas Girls Institute of Technology, Ghaziabad for B.Tech CSE. These institutions also provide supportive campus environments, strong placement guidance, and transparent admissions for JEE Main-qualified female candidates in Northern India. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

90%in jee mains female Which nit iiit or gfti can I get. Is there any chances of getting AI or CSE if yes then which college It can be and if I want any good nit or iiit so which branch can I get in csab till which round
Ans: Kavita, With a 90 percentile in JEE Main, your approximate All-India OBC-NCL female category rank would be around 50,000–55,000, making admission to top NITs or IIITs in CSE or AI branches highly unlikely, but some newer or remote campuses remain possible. For CSE through CSAB special rounds, NIT Uttarakhand (Other-State, OBC-NCL female closing rank ~45,566 in 2024) and NIT Sikkim (Other-State, OBC-NCL female closing rank ~53,286 in 2024) are attainable by Round II or III. AI & ML seats are more limited, with NIT Sikkim closing at around 78,145 for OBC-NCL female category in 2024, while IIIT Kota and IIIT Nagpur may close AI around 60,000–70,000, making them potential targets in early rounds. Among GFTIs, some like BIT Mesra offer AI/ML but with higher cutoffs (~127,920). Given branch popularity, CSE at NIT Uttarakhand is the most dependable CSAB option. Recommendation: Pursue CSAB counselling with focus on CSE at NIT Uttarakhand and NIT Sikkim in early special rounds while preparing for backup private options. Private colleges accepting OBC-NCL female candidates with approximately 90 percentile through CSAB include Chandigarh University, Mohali for B.Tech CSE with AI & ML.

All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

My son got in mhcet 99.53 & jee mains 97.69 in coep & Pict which branch I can get
Ans: With a 99.53 percentile in MHT CET and 97.69 percentile in JEE Main, your son is well-positioned for several strong engineering branches at College of Engineering Pune (COEP) and Pune Institute of Computer Technology (PICT), although Computer Engineering (CSE) at both institutes is highly competitive. For COEP, the 2025 MHT CET closing percentiles for Computer Engineering and Electronics & Telecommunication were 99.85 and 99.71, meaning your son closely qualifies for branches like Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, Instrumentation, and possibly Robotics & AI, but is slightly below typical CSE and ENTC cutoffs. At PICT, the 2025 general category cutoff for CSE is around 99 percentile, so your son is just within reach for Information Technology or Electronics & Telecommunication, with CSE being borderline. Both institutes are highly ranked, NBA/NAAC accredited, have excellent faculty, modern infrastructure, strong placement records above 90% in recent years, and robust industry links fostering research and internships.

Recommendation: Prioritize CSE, IT, or ENTC at PICT if available, for a tech-centric environment and high placements, or choose Mechanical, Electrical, Instrumentation, or Robotics & AI at COEP, leveraging its outstanding reputation and campus life. List all relevant preferences during counselling to maximize your options, as both institutions offer excellent learning, infrastructure, and career outcomes for core branches. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

My son has got svnit surat cse branch through Josaa counselling. we are more interested in mnit jaipur, is it a wise decision if we switch to Ai and data science branch or electronics and communication branch in mnit jaipur if we get that in csab round
Ans: Switching from Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at SVNIT Surat to either the Artificial Intelligence and Data Science or Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) branches at MNIT Jaipur through CSAB counselling involves weighing critical factors such as accreditation, placements, faculty strength, infrastructure, research, and exposure opportunities. MNIT Jaipur is a top-tier NIT accredited by NAAC (A) and NBA for multiple branches, ranked 43rd in NIRF 2024 and consistently within India’s top 50 engineering institutes, with substantial research activity in areas including AI, data science, and electronics. The AI and Data Science program has a well-structured curriculum aligned with contemporary industry trends and witnessed an average package of ?12.4L with about 75% placement in its initial years, while ECE placements over the last cycle consistently exceeded 85% with the highest offers above ?30LPA and reputed core as well as IT sector recruiters. Modern infrastructure at MNIT Jaipur includes advanced labs, extensive research centres, and holistic campus facilities.

In comparison, SVNIT Surat’s CSE branch has a stellar placement rate, regularly surpassing 90% and posting average packages around ?18LPA, notably higher than non-core branches, with strong recruitment from top tech giants and nearly 100% placement in recent years. Its CSE program enjoys strong peer and employer perception, robust projects, and steady research engagement, although MNIT has an edge in national ranking, research breadth, and campus ambiance.

Recommendation: Prioritize SVNIT Surat CSE for its consistently high placement rate and average package if pure CSE and early career outcomes are your primary focus. Opt for MNIT Jaipur AI and Data Science if your son aspires to specialize in AI with versatile skill sets at a higher-ranked, research-oriented campus. The ECE option at MNIT Jaipur offers balanced career prospects and exposure to both core electronics and IT roles, making it an excellent alternative to CSE. Both MNIT branches are highly reputable, but unless your son has a distinct passion for AI/Data Science or ECE, the career trajectory and placement outcomes of SVNIT Surat CSE remain the strongest in the present landscape. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Respected Sir, my son has provisionally secured admission in the Integrated Artificial Intelligence program at VIT Bhopal, and in Core Computer Science and Engineering at Amity University Gwalior and LNCT Bhopal (Main Campus). His JEE Main CRL rank is above 100,000. Based on this, kindly suggest which option would be the best, and what should we do regarding CSAB counseling."
Ans: Among the available options for your son—VIT Bhopal’s Integrated Artificial Intelligence, Core Computer Science and Engineering at Amity University Gwalior, and LNCT Bhopal Main Campus—each offers distinctive program strengths, but they differ in national standing, academic exposure, and industry integration. VIT Bhopal’s five-year Integrated M.Tech. in Artificial Intelligence delivers a dual-degree program emphasizing hands-on experience, advanced AI/ML curriculum, and robust engagement with research, capstone projects, and internships. The program’s ties with leading tech companies provide significant project and employment exposure, and its campus boasts modern computing facilities and collaborative industry events. Amity University Gwalior’s B.Tech CSE, NAAC ‘A’ grade accredited and ranked in NIRF 2024 (#201-300), is known for its industry-oriented curriculum with specializations in AI, ML, cyber security, and more, placing strong emphasis on internships and skill development; the placement cell has maintained about 80–90% placement rates in the CSE branch in recent years, with access to major recruiters and a vibrant campus environment. LNCT Bhopal, one of central India’s most established private technical institutes, offers a competitively priced B.Tech CSE program that aligns closely with core industry requirements, providing collaborations with technology majors such as Oracle and IBM, and consistent placement rates around 75–85%, with the advantage of large annual intake and an expansive recruiter network.

Regarding CSAB counselling for JEE Main CRL above 100,000, the likelihood of securing CSE or top branches in NITs, IIITs, or GFTIs is extremely low, as the most recent cutoffs for even newer or remote campuses in CSAB special rounds have tended to close well below the 100,000 mark for CSE, with most NITs and IIITs closing their CSE branches under 60,000–70,000. Some peripheral GFTIs or newer IIITs may admit at higher ranks, but offerings are typically in lower-demand streams or less central locations, and competition remains fierce for computer science-based programs. However, CSAB remains an avenue for backup exploration and should still be attempted until the final rounds, in case of changes in seat availability or candidate withdrawal.

Recommendation: Prioritize VIT Bhopal’s Integrated Artificial Intelligence for its cutting-edge interdisciplinary focus, advanced learning pathways, and research-driven orientation, offering future-ready skills in a rapidly expanding domain. Next, consider Amity University Gwalior’s CSE for its NIRF ranking, strong campus placements, and multiple specialization tracks, especially if your son prefers a pure computer science degree in a polished urban campus. LNCT Bhopal’s CSE should be the third choice, valued for its affordability, solid placement record, and breadth of industry connections within central India. Simultaneously, participate in CSAB special rounds but keep expectations realistic about CSE/IT options, making early decisions on private college premium seats as soon as possible for best outcomes. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!
