Career

Sir, I am suffering from chronic insomnia, my mental condition is not good for work. It is affecting my work. I resigned from the job, I can 't serve the notice period. Company is not giving me relieving letter, What should I do?

Ans: Dear Aman,
Do remember, rules are meant to be followed...there are always consequences for not following them.
I think you should request your organisation to give you a relieving letter and submit the relevant medical papers for the same. If there is a penalty to be paid for not serving the notice period , please pay and get rid of this stress, at the end of the day peace of mind is more important than money. Looking for peace of mind will also solve your insomnia!!

hoping the best for you...

Question by Gokulraaj - Mar 19, 2024Hindi

Career

Hi, I have worked in a company for the past 2yrs. Now I have resigned my job due to my health issues. As per company policy notice period is 90days, due to my health issues I am not able to continue working, so I asked them for early relieving. But they are saying that if I want to relive early they won't provide me experience or relieving letter. What should I do?

Ans: Hi Gokulraaj,
If you are resigning due to health issues, you can provide a medical certificate to your employer, and they should then issue your experience certificate. If they still do not provide it, you can let them know that you have no option left but to pursue legal action. I hope this helps resolve the issue.

Hi sir I could not serve my 3 months notice period however I had served 2 months and asked HR to give me early reliving. I mentioned that my parents are not well and attached medical prescription but they denied and said you to serve complete 3 months. After 2 months I stopped going to office they were sending me absconding mails meanwhile and after 1month they sent me termination letter what shall I do In such case ? I was working there for 2 years.

Ans: I’m sorry to hear about your situation. When facing termination due to not serving the full notice period, it’s important to understand your rights and the potential legal implications. Here’s what you can consider doing:

Review Your Employment Contract: Check the terms regarding the notice period and termination. There might be provisions for situations like medical emergencies.
Legal Consultation: It may be beneficial to consult with a labor law attorney who can provide advice based on the specifics of your case and the applicable laws.
Documentation: Gather all relevant documentation, including the medical prescriptions you submitted, any communication from HR, and the termination letter.
Negotiation: You could attempt to negotiate with your employer, explaining the situation with your parents and seeking a compassionate resolution.
Labor Office: If negotiation fails, you may approach the local labor office or labor court for guidance and to explore options for redressal.
Understand Legal Precedents: Familiarize yourself with any legal precedents that may apply to your case. For instance, the Supreme Court has provided judgments on employment notice periods that might offer insights into your rights and obligations.
Remember, each situation is unique, and the best course of action depends on the specifics of your employment contract and the company’s policies. It’s crucial to handle the matter professionally and legally to ensure the best possible outcome. Good luck!

Sir I got 98.76 percentile in jee mains,crl19,800 and obc rank 5225 home state telangana can I get mechanical engineering at nit Warangal

Ans: Bhanu, Yes, NIT Warangal Mechanical is possible, but not fully guaranteed. Still, you must fill this choice. With Telangana home-state quota, you have a good chance in the later JoSAA rounds and an even better chance through CSAB if seats remain. Still, fill choices carefully and keep strong backups such as NIT Andhra Pradesh, Raipur, Patna, Jalandhar, Hamirpur, Silchar, Durgapur, Bhopal, and Goa for Mechanical, Chemical, or Metallurgy.

Also keep IIITs, GFTIs, and TS EAMCET colleges as safety options. Additionally, reviewing JoSAA opening and closing ranks from the past 2–3 years will provide you valuable insights and help you confidently select and fill your preferred & maximum number of choices. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Question by Sona - Apr 28, 2026Hindi

Career

Sir my brother score 97.39 percentile in jee mains with 41120 rank Home state is delhi and general male category can he get ece or cse

Ans: Sona, With a CRL of 41,120, General male category, and Delhi home state, admission to NIT Delhi for CSE is unlikely, and ECE is also difficult in early JoSAA rounds. Recent closing ranks at NIT Delhi for CSE and ECE have been significantly better—2023 HS ECE closed around 21,529, with Mechanical and Civil closing even lower. Nonetheless, it’s worth filling these choices too. For CSE, chances improve in newer IIITs during later JoSAA or CSAB rounds, such as IIIT Manipur, IIIT Kalyani, IIIT Dharwad, IIIT Kurnool, and IIIT Bhagalpur. For ECE, consider IIIT Una, IIIT Kottayam, IIIT Bhopal, and other newer IIITs depending on round-wise seat movement. Backup options include participating in JAC Delhi counseling, applying to IPU Delhi colleges like MAIT, MSIT, BVCOE, and BPIT, considering lower-preference branches at DTU and NSUT, and keeping CSAB Special Rounds as an option. Additionally, reviewing JoSAA/JAC-Delhi/IPU's opening and closing ranks from the past 2–3 years will provide valuable insights and help your brother confidently select and fill his preferred & maximum number of choices. All the BEST for Your Brother's Prosperous Future!

Career

Hi sir my daughter got 99.2 percentile in jee mains .pls suggest nit college

Ans: Kameswari Madam, you have not mentioned your daughter's home state. At a 99.2 percentile, your daughter’s expected CRL rank may be around 12,000–14,000, though final options will depend on her exact rank, category, and home state. For NITs, she should target institutes such as NIT Rourkela, Calicut, Durgapur, Kurukshetra, Jaipur, Allahabad, Bhopal, Jamshedpur, Surat, Nagpur, Goa, Hamirpur, and Jalandhar. For CSE, chances are generally better in mid- to lower-tier NITs and some IIITs, while for ECE, EE, and Mechanical branches, admission chances improve in stronger NITs. Admission to top NITs like Trichy, Surathkal, or Warangal for CSE may be difficult unless her exact CRL rank is significantly better; still, she can fill these choices too. She should also fill choices in IIITs for CSE/IT, GFTIs, and keep options open for CSAB special rounds. Additionally, applying to state counseling and private institutions is recommended as a safety option. Additionally, reviewing JoSAA opening and closing ranks from the past 2–3 years will provide valuable insights and help your daughter confidently select and fill her preferred & maximum number of choices. All the BEST for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future!

I got 96.36 percentile(Male) my domicile state is telangana.CRL is 57.2k and EWS rank is 8421. My preferred branch is mechanical which nits do i have chance for?

Ans: With a CRL of 57,200 and an EWS rank of 8,421, Mechanical Engineering admission is realistic in some NITs, but NIT Warangal Mechanical remains difficult even with Telangana home-state quota, though you can still try. Better chances are available at NIT Andhra Pradesh, NIT Raipur, NIT Patna, NIT Jalandhar, NIT Hamirpur, NIT Agartala, NIT Silchar, NIT Meghalaya, NIT Manipur, NIT Mizoram, and NIT Nagaland for Mechanical or allied branches. Newer and lower-ranked NITs often accept ranks beyond 70,000 depending on category and branch. It is important to fill choices broadly, prioritizing Mechanical, then Production/Manufacturing, followed by Civil, Chemical, and Metallurgy. Backup options include participating in CSAB special rounds, exploring Telangana state options through TS EAMCET, and considering private colleges like CBIT, VNR VJIET, Vasavi, GRIET, as well as SRM, VIT, and Manipal.

I have got 95.36 percentile in jee mains and a rank of 72584. What are the chances of getting cs in top ipu colleges for outside Delhi applicant

Ans: With a 95.36 percentile and CRL of 72,584 as an outside-Delhi applicant, your chance of securing CSE in top IPU colleges is moderate but mainly limited to lower or top-mid options, not highly competitive colleges like USICT, MAIT, or MSIT. Still you can try. Recent cutoff trends indicate that USICT and MAIT CSE typically require much better ranks—for example, MAIT’s 2023 final CSE cutoff was around 54,287 for all-India unreserved candidates, and BPIT’s 2025 outside-Delhi CSE cutoff was approximately 58,557 in one reported round. You can consider targeting BVCOE for CSE/IT, BPIT for IT/CSE-DS, ADGITM for CSE/IT, GTBIT for CSE/IT, and also participate in spot or sliding rounds. Backup options to keep in mind include MAIT or MSIT for ECE, BVCOE for IT/ECE, and good private colleges offering CSE such as Thapar, Jaypee, Chandigarh University, UPES, JIIT-Noida and Manipal Jaipur. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Question by VINIT - Apr 28, 2026Hindi

Career

I get 93.6%ile in jee mains 2026 with CRL rank 99845 and general EWS rank 15044 would and home state is haryana would I able to get any nit or IIIT with branch AI and deta analysis in early rounds of jossa and CSAB counselling session?

Ans: Vinit, Getting AI, Data Science, or Data Analytics branches in NITs or IIITs through early JoSAA rounds is highly unlikely. Recent JoSAA data shows that AI/DS-type branches in IIITs close much earlier—for example, IIIT Dharwad’s Data Science & AI closed around 39,025 CRL in 2025, and IIITDM Kurnool’s AI & DS closed near 35,178 CRL in the open category. For Haryana home state, NIT Kurukshetra may offer admission to lower-preference branches in later rounds, but AI or Data Science is not realistic at this rank. Besides JoSAA, you can try CSAB Special Rounds, but it’s important to keep expectations flexible. As backup options, consider branches like ECE, Mechanical, Civil, or Production in NITs and GFTIs, or apply to colleges such as YMCA Faridabad, UIET Kurukshetra, DCRUST Murthal, Chandigarh University, LPU, and private institutions like Manipal, SRM, or VIT Northern India campuses for CSE or AI-related branches.
