Sir i am simarpreet from jalandhar my jee main rank 43124 i got cse in thapar should i go for cse in any iiit through csab kindly guide me thanks alot

Ans: Simarpreet, with a JEE Main rank of 43,124, CSE at Thapar is a solid choice—Thapar has great reputation and strong placements in software. If you get an IIIT CSE seat through CSAB, check the specific IIIT’s placement records; some IIITs may have good academics but not always better placements than Thapar. Unless the IIIT is among the top ones, I’d suggest sticking with Thapar CSE for better exposure and opportunities. Focus on skill-building no matter where you go.

Hello sir, I am getting CSE in JMI should I take that or risk it and go for csab in hopes of getting CSE/ECE in IIIT nagpur, guwhati, pune, trichy or kottyam.If yes which IIIT. My rank is 48,580. Thanku
Ans: Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) offers a recognized BTech CSE program with NAAC A++ accreditation, UGC and NBA recognition, and consistent placement support. The CSE placement rate in 2023 was about 60%, with active recruitment from leading employers, modern campus resources, and a strong alumni network. For IIITs, your All India rank of 48,580 makes admission to CSE or ECE difficult in IIIT Nagpur, Pune, Guwahati, Trichy, or Kottayam. In 2024 CSAB rounds, CSE in IIIT Nagpur and Pune closed below 32,000–35,000, while ECE in Nagpur reached up to 50,000 but often fills earlier. IIIT Guwahati, Pune, Trichy, and Kottayam had cutoffs ranging from 19,000 to 35,000 for CSE, and generally below 47,000 for ECE in open categories, placing your rank just at or above the boundary for select ECE programs, but well outside CSE cutoffs for most preferred IIITs. These IIITs demonstrate high placement percentages (typically 74–89% for CSE and 40–80% for ECE), robust industry internships, and growing reputations, with strong curriculum alignment and industry-relevant projects. However, high demand for CSE ensures that closing ranks are competitive and often shift based on real-time vacancy and category.

Recommendation: Accepting JMI CSE ensures a confirmed seat in a reputable program with stable placements and strong credentials. If you decide to attend CSAB rounds, expect a marginal chance at ECE (not CSE) in lower-cutoff IIITs like Nagpur or Kottayam, but securing a CSE seat in any listed IIIT at your rank is highly unlikely based on recent official cutoffs. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

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

IIT-JEE, NEET-UG, SAT, CLAT, CA, CS Exam Expert - Answered on Dec 04, 2025

Career
My son will be appearing for JEE Main & JEE Advanced 2026 and will participate in JoSAA Counselling 2026. I request clarification regarding the GEN-EWS certificate date requirement for next year. I have already applied for an EWS certificate for current year 2025, and the application is under process. However, I am unsure whether this certificate will be accepted during JoSAA 2026, or whether candidates will be required to submit a fresh certificate for FY 2026–27 (issued on or after 1 April 2026). My concern is that if JoSAA requires a certificate issued after 1 April 2026, students will have only 1–1.5 months to complete the entire procedure, which is difficult considering normal government processing timelines. Also, during current JEE form filling, students are asked to upload a GEN-EWS certificate issued on or after 1 April 2025, or an application acknowledgement. This has created confusion among parents regarding which year’s certificate will finally be valid at the time of counselling. I request your kind guidance on: Which GEN-EWS certificate will be accepted for JoSAA Counselling 2026 — a certificate for FY 2025–26 (issued after 1 April 2025), or a new certificate for FY 2026–27 (issued after 1 April 2026)?
Ans: Hi
You need not worry about the EWS certificate. Even if you apply for the next year's certificate on 1 Apr 2026, the second session of JEE MAINS will still be held, followed by JEE ADVANCED, which will be held in May. JOSAA starts in June. so you will have 2 months in hand for fresh EWS certificate.
