Question by Prakhar on Sep 11, 2025Hindi

Career

Sir I want to take admission in an engineering college but my percentile is not on par with the eligibility criteria to take admission so I'm left with two options to improve my marks, either by appearing as private candidate in the same school(ISC board) or I can go for NIOS board. I'm not sure whether to go for ONDEMAND or PUBLIC exam in case of NIOS and which one is accepted by JEE. Also I've doubt regarding the difficulty level of NIOS exam as I've heard that lately it has become difficult to gain good marks in NIOS as compared to old times. Further I want to know if NIOS can be an obstacle in my future endeavors or while sitting for a job recruitment?

Ans: Hi Prakhar,

You got lower marks in your first attempt and are planning to take a second attempt. JEE does not object to NIOS certificates. Obviously, recruiters will consider this when offering jobs, so you can't escape that.
BEST WISHES.

My 12 boards 2025 cbse results are not well it's less than 65 but I have passed all the subjects in first attempt that's why I am thinking to apply for nios board to improve my scores and I am also thinking to do this while doing the btech degree so is that a good decision? Plus what if I score less in nios will my class 12th cbse marksheet will be acceptable ? And one more thing what will the passing year appear on NIOS marksheet 2025 or 2026?

Ans: HI,
If you have decided to pursue a B.Tech, then go for it.
However, consider why you might prefer NIOS (National Institute of Open Schooling) to complete selective subjects and boost your 12th-grade marks.
Registering for NIOS while simultaneously pursuing your B.Tech could be a waste of time, money, and energy. This may reflect negatively when you apply for jobs, as recruiters might have concerns about your educational approach.
Also, the recruiters will consider a second attempt in the HSC. So be careful.
BEST WISHES.

Question by Ramachandran - Jun 09, 2026Hindi

Money

"My take-home salary is ₹1.7 lakh per month, and I sold my plot for a capital gain of ₹30 lakh. Please let me know how much of it will be taxable. I am also planning to construct a house, so please suggest how I can reduce my tax."

Ans: If you are constructing an house and if it gets completed within 3 years from the date of sale of plot, then you can claim exemption from capital gain of plot. Till the construction starts, you need to keep the sale proceeds in the capital gain scheme account.
You need to consult CA to arrive at capital gain, its investment so that exemption can be claimed etc.

I am in vit chennai.so i am going to my second year.recently i got a chance to change from fashion technology to mechatronics and autoomation.i plan on changing because i am not that interested in fashion tech and i am quite interested in mechatronics.but i am not sure if this decison will be right or wrong.what should i do?

Ans: If you are genuinely interested in robotics/systems, **switch to Mechatronics & Automation**. Staying in Fashion Tech with low interest will hurt long-term growth and placements. Switch only after confirming the curriculum, workload, and placement outcomes before the final decision. (You have to cover the 1st-year extra syllabus as well.) Many students do this kind of exercise in the 2nd year. You can also be one of them. No harm in shifting from one branch to another while keeping your interest in learning alive.

Good luck.
