Sir I passed my 10th in 2024 with 91% marks ..... Later I decided to continue my 11th in the same school but their the classes started from mid August ....... I started going to school but soon my health started to degrade very much .... So I was unable to attend my classes and had attendance of only 18% till January and also I could not give my exams properly ...... Then after that I took TC from that school and took admission in another school in 11th again and I am in 11th and preparing for JEE ....... Please tell me what problems I will face in future college admissions , placements and if I prepare for govt jobs ( like bank PO/ SBI PO, UPSC , SSB etc ) will I get any problem in the interview or documents verification time .

Ans: Should not face any problems. Lot of students do take break between 10th and 12th for IIT or NEET. So there should not be an issue with this.

sir i am ayush , i passed my 10th in 2024 with 91% marks ..... then i took admission in 11th in the same school but soon i got Asthma and later on jaundice , so i could neither go to school nor study ...... now my health is ok ........ i took TC from my school and took admission in another school in class 11th again ..... means i am repeating class 11th ...... i am preparing JEE ..... will my gap year/11th repeat cause any problem in future college admissions and job interviews or placements....... will i have to show some proof of my illness ? because i don't have any prescriptions because i got cured with ayurvedic medicines ...... sir please answer my questions should i make a gap year certificate sir ? ..... if yes what should i write on it ? means i should write that i took admission in 11th but because of health issues i could not go to school or simply write that i had to take a gap year after 10th due to illness .
Ans: Hi AYUSH,

Yes, when applying for a job, they may inquire about your health. Sometimes they may accept your application, but other times they may not. This largely depends on the type of condition you have. Asthma and jaundice generally do not impact your studies.

For jaundice, recovery may take about 15 to 20 days, while asthma is a lifelong condition. The important thing is to take your medication consistently and without any gaps. Therefore, having asthma or jaundice shouldn't be a dealbreaker for your application.

Sometimes, revealing the truth about your condition, rather than fabricating reasons, can improve your chances of getting hired.

Always avoid fraudulent activities, as they can lead to lost job opportunities and damage your trustworthiness.

So, be honest.

BEST WISHES.

Hello sir, I'm currently preparing for jee mains and advanced and also for class 12th as a private candidate for improvement. My story is that- i first gave my boards as a regular student in 2024 from cbse but i didn't pass in one subject, also couldn't clear my compartment also..I was at my lowest it was a very disturbing time in my life. Then i decided to give it my all so, i reappeared in boards 2025 as a failure students in all the subjects I scored 70% and passed every subject. I only focused on the boards no jee. I got some offers from private colleges but i wasn't satisfied. So i searched a bit and got to know that I still I one more chance for JEE ADVANCED as a I passed my 12th in 2025 means this year's but my percentage are not upto the eligibility criteria so I'm giving improvement exam for that. I wanted to ask like in future while college placements or job interviews will this 2 years of gap will affect my opportunities for jobs in good companies. I talked to some seniors they said it might do cuz the market is already very crowded. But it also depends upon my college cpga or projects and my skills. I'm bit scared of it although I know that it was anyway gonna be a question in future but still I want to how should I be prepared for it , what should I do in future that makes its less noticeable? Please suggest
Ans: First of all, don’t worry too much. In your life, five years will pass anyway! Many students experience setbacks in their academic journey, and what matters most is how you bounce back. In placements and job interviews, gaps are noticed, but they don’t define your future. Companies mainly look at your college CGPA, the quality of your projects, internships, problem-solving ability, and communication skills. Your two-year struggle will matter far less if you can demonstrate strong technical skills, good internships, and consistent performance during your B.Tech. To minimize the gap's visibility, focus on building a solid profile: keep your CGPA decent. When asked about your past, be honest but frame it positively. Say you faced setbacks, but you worked hard, improved, and learned resilience. That narrative actually shows maturity. Instead of being scared, use this as motivation to build yourself stronger in the next four years. If you do that, those two years will hardly matter.
Finally, forget what happened with you. Complete your B. Tech. in your preferred branch. Focus on your future without overthinking. With proper management, your future is in your hands! Failure makes a person wiser, a hard worker, and better at handling any situation.

Good luck.

Dating, Relationships Expert - Answered on Dec 04, 2025

Asked by Anonymous - Dec 02, 2025Hindi
Relationship
My married ex still texts me for comfort. Because of him, I am unable to move on. He makes me feel guilty by saying he got married out of family pressure. His dad is a cardiac patient and mom is being treated for cancer. He comforts me by saying he will get separated soon and we will get married because he only loves me. We have been in a relationship for 14 years and despite everything we tried, his parents refused to accept me, so he chose to get married to someone who understands our situation. I don't know when he will separate from his wife. She knows about us too but she comes from a traditional family. She also confirmed there is no physical intimacy between them. I trust him, but is it worth losing my youth for him? Honestly, I am worried and very confused.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand how difficult it is to let go of a relationship you have built from scratch, but is it really how you want to continue? It really seems to be going nowhere. His parents are already in bad health and he married someone else for their happiness. Does it seem like he will be able to leave her? So many people’s happiness and lives depend on this one decision. I think it’s about time you and your BF have a clear conversation about the same. If he can’t give a proper timeline, please try to understand his situation. But also make sure he understands yours and maybe rethink this equation. It really isn’t healthy. You deserve a love you can have wholly, and not just in pieces, and in the shadows.

Hope this helps
