Respected sir, I did mistake in my neet application form. They meintioned candidates name and written only my name (instead of my full name)as next column was of father's name and i got confused.i didnt thought that would be a problem, but i got to know full name is important so i tried correcting it as i didn't submitted my form,but it was not allowing me to edit it. And now my form is submitted. My photo also contains my full name ,my adhar card is updated and verified successfully. The only major problem i made is not writting my full name.The update regrading correction window has came ,and there is no option in correcting candidates name. Will i suffer on exam day ? What should i do now. I know i made a mistake, but what should i do?

Ans: Hi
Don't worry too much — you're definitely not alone. Many NEET applicants go through this kind of issue.
Here's what’s in your favor:
Your Aadhaar is verified – which means NTA has matched your details with your official ID. That's already a big validation point.
Your photograph contains your full name – this further supports your identity.
Your mistake is only about not writing the full name – it's a common confusion, especially when forms have the "Father's Name" right next to "Candidate's Name".

what can you do?
Carry extra documents on exam day:
Original Aadhaar Card (with full name)

A notarized affidavit stating that both names (short and full) refer to the same person. It can be done in 1–2 days at your local notary.
If possible, carry a school ID or 10th certificate with full name too.

Sir actually I did 2 mistakes while filling jee mains form... 1. I skipped my middle name while writing candidates name but my marksheet as well as adhar card shows my full name that is name along with middle name. 2. I did mistake while writing my address(I didn't write my building name). Will it cause any problem during details checking in examination hall...is yes what should I do to correct it please help
Ans: Hello.
(1) If your Aadhar card is verified at the time of form filling, then there is no need to worry.
(2) There is no problem even if you have forgotten to write the name of the building.
(3) You will not face any problems when entering the examination hall.
(4) Please follow all the guidelines laid by NTA before entering the examination hall.
(5) Even if you feel very insecure, file a separate application to NTA via email mentioning the mistakes you made in the application form. Carry the printout of this forwarded email with you at the examination center. If there is any problem, show it to the respective center head.

Note: It is sad to hear that students who are preparing for the JEE examination make simple mistakes in application forms. It is highly recommended that you download the brochure for the JEE examination and read it very carefully to avoid silly mistakes in the future.

JEE Mains 2025: Application Correction Window Opens On November 26: During the JEE Main rectification window, students can amend the information on their application form, such as address, paper details, category, photo, signature, and exam city preference. Applicants cannot change their name, mobile number, or email address. The correction period is only for 2 days i.e. 26th and 27th Nov

If dissatisfied with the reply, please ask again without hesitation.
Thanks.

My son got 245 in bits .He can get any Brecht branch
Ans: Priyanka Madam, by now your son must have been allotted/not allotted any seat by BITS. Please update the status for today. However, please note, A BITSAT score of 245 situates you within the previous two years’ closing-score bands for core engineering streams at the Pilani, Goa, and Hyderabad campuses. At Pilani, the B.E. Chemical Engineering cutoff ranged from 224 in 2023 to 247 in 2024, placing your 245 close to the 2024 threshold and comfortably above 2023’s mark; B.E. Civil Engineering closed at 213 and 238, making admission highly probable; and B.E. Manufacturing Engineering cutoffs of 220 and 243 indicate a strong likelihood of allotment. At Goa, Chemical Engineering closed at 239 in 2024 and 248 in 2023, and Civil around – (not offered in 2024) – but Pilani-equivalent streams suggest safe admission; Manufacturing cutoffs mirror Pilani trends, bolstering your prospects. At Hyderabad, Chemical Engineering cutoffs of 238 and 209 over the two years ensure a secure allotment, while Civil Engineering’s 235–204 band similarly favors your score; Manufacturing at Hyderabad showed closing marks near 218–251, indicating moderate probability. Across campuses, Civil and Manufacturing remain reliably within reach, Chemical at Pilani may require waitlist movement but is feasible given historical fluctuations, and all three streams at Hyderabad and Goa present strong chances. Additional seats open during special iterations further enhance admit probabilities.

Recommendation: Considering consistent cutoff trends and seat matrices, prioritize B.E. Civil and Manufacturing Engineering at BITS Pilani for guaranteed allotment, consider Chemical Engineering at Pilani via waitlist movement, and secure Chemical, Civil, or Manufacturing Engineering at BITS Hyderabad or Goa for assured admission, capitalizing on slightly lower cutoffs and ample seat availability. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

I am working as Business Analyst from past 4 years but I wanted to move to technical role. I have done Btech in CSE from tier-3 college. I wanted some advise on the the best way to switch to a tech role. 1. Taking some online boot camp to get in-depth knowledge and doing side projects over the weekends 2. Taking WILP from BITS in Software engineering/ data science 3. Prepare from GATE 2026 and aim for IITs
Ans: Manjunath Sir, To shift into a technical position, integrating structured learning, credentialing, and practical experience is essential. The recommended pathway combines immersive project-based training with a recognized postgraduate credential while keeping a long-term goal of elite technical qualification. Begin with a part-time online software engineering or data science bootcamp, dedicating weekends to substantial portfolio projects to build hands-on skills and confidence in key stacks . Concurrently, enroll in BITS Pilani’s Work-Integrated M.Tech (Software Engineering or Data Science & Engineering) to earn a UGC-approved postgraduate degree without leaving your job, benefitting from weekend live classes, remote labs covering full-stack or analytics tools, and a final semester dissertation that bridges theory with organizational impact . This dual track—bootcamp plus WILP—provides immediate upskilling, peer and mentor networks, and a formal degree. After 12–18 months, if aiming for top-tier R&D or core engineering roles, commence GATE 2026 preparation via a structured three-phase roadmap: concept building (June–August), full-length practice (September–November), and final mock-test calibration (December–January), targeting a CSE rank
