Can I Apply for MHT CET PCM with Isolated Maths in Feb 2025?

Ans: Hello dear.
Chances with NITs are very slim. You're better off targeting IIITs or lesser-ranked government and private institutes e.g., IIIT Una for ECE.

Good luck.

Ans: Hello dear.
You are eligible to appear for JEE 2026. Your eligibility starts from 2024, the year you passed Mathematics. For example, you can appear for JEE (Main) 2026 but not JEE (Adv) 20226. Only two attempts are permitted from the year you passed 12th. That means one attempt in 2024 and another in 2025.

Good luck.

Ans: Athar, Both Sant Gajanan Maharaj College of Engineering (Shegaon) and MIT Academy of Engineering (Alandi) require significantly higher MHT CET percentiles than 50.44 for and Mechanical streams. In 2024, SSGMCE’s Electronics & Telecom closing percentile was 90.39 and Mechanical 85.26, whereas MIT Alandi’s Electronics & Telecom closed at 84.51 and Mechanical at 78.07. Pune University–affiliated engineering colleges similarly demand percentiles above 80 for these branches. With a 50.44 percentile, admission to Electronics or Mechanical BE/BTech at any of these institutions is unfeasible.

Recommendation: Consider colleges with closing percentiles nearer to your score, such as lesser-known Pune University–affiliated institutes offering Mechanical or Electronics with cutoffs around 50–60 percentile, or private colleges under Pune University with TFW/management quota options to secure a suitable branch and location. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Lavisha, With an EWS Home-State rank of 28,516, securing Computer Science seats via CSAB Special in premier NITs under Home-State EWS quotas is challenging, as CSE at NIT Kurukshetra closed near 8 198 for general HS and the EWS HS cutoff typically tracks within 25 000–35 000—just within reach. Electronics & Communication Engineering at Kurukshetra closed around HS?Open 9 692–15 127, with EWS HS often extending to 45 000–57 000, making ECE a viable target. In JoSAA 2025, IIIT Kota’s HS-EWS CSE cutoff was 39,410, which places your rank comfortably within the acceptable range. Beyond these, peripheral GFTIs such as CIT Kokrajhar (CSE up to ~150 500 CRL) and Assam University, Silchar (CSE ~75 981) admit EWS candidates with ranks well above 28 000. All these institutes meet AICTE/NIRF accreditation, maintain ≥70 percent placement consistency, feature modern labs, active MoUs for internships, and have outcome-based curricula.

Recommendation: CSAB offers special preferences for assured entry into Electronics & Communication Engineering at NIT Kurukshetra under HS-EWS, followed by listing CSE at IIIT Kota and CSE at peripheral GFTIs like CIT Kokrajhar and Assam University. Simultaneously, pursue Haryana state-counselling seats at PEC Kurukshetra and Deenbandhu Chhotu Ram University for core-branch safety. However, have 2-3 Private Engineering Colleges also as back ups with your JEE Score instead of relying only on CSAB. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Friendship with the other gender after marriage is not risky but it can become risky if boundaries are not drawn clearly.
- What exactly are you worried about when she speaks with another man?
- Has she suddenly stopped caring for you and the home?
- Have you any proof that she and the man are interested in one another?
Sometimes, it could also be that you are uncomfortable with her talking to another man and so it feels wrong that she is doing that. If she's maintaining healthy boundaries and not ignoring her marriage, why worry?

All the best!

Ans: BITS Pilani K.K. Birla Goa Campus offers a B.E. in Electrical & Electronics Engineering with NAAC A+ accreditation and Institute of Eminence status. The program features modern infrastructure including specialized EEE laboratories, a Central Sophisticated Instrumentation Facility with advanced equipment like confocal microscope, FESEM, and Raman spectrometer, alongside comprehensive industry partnerships including Amazon Web Services and GitHub for startup support. The campus spans 180 acres with fully residential facilities and smart classrooms. NIT Calicut's B.Tech in Electrical & Electronics Engineering holds NBA accreditation for 6 years (2022-2028) under the stringent Tier-I evaluation scheme and is ranked 25th in NIRF Engineering rankings 2024. The institute achieved a remarkable 97.01% placement rate for EEE students in 2024, with 130 out of 134 registered students securing positions, demonstrating exceptional industry demand. Both institutions maintain essential benchmarks including statutory approvals, modern laboratory facilities, research-active faculty with doctoral qualifications, active industry Mships, and consistent placement support exceeding 75% over three years. BITS Goa commands higher fees of ?20.76 lakh for the complete program versus NIT Calicut's ?5 lakh, but offers unique Practice School programs ensuring 7+ months of industry experience. The BITS alumni network includes prominent entrepreneurs and unicorn founders, while NIT Calicut benefits from the extensive NIT Alumni Network spanning multiple countries.

Recommendation: Choose NIT Calicut's EEE for its exceptional 97% placement consistency, NBA Tier-I accreditation, cost-effectiveness at ?5 lakh fees, and strong government institute reputation with established industry connections. Consider BITS Goa's EEE if you prioritize unique Practice School industry exposure, Institute of Eminence status, entrepreneurial alumni network, and can afford the higher fee structure for comprehensive residential campus experience. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!
