I updated my caste certificate for BEET 2024. But I failed to qualify it. Now, I am filling form for NEET 2025. Can I use the same OBC certificate or do I need to update it again?

Ans: The validity of the caste certificate is only one year, ending every March of the respective year. Therefore, you need to update it, and they will accept the new one.

I am a government primary school teacher in Odisha and belongs to group C employee. My annual income is 9 lakhs and it's from salary only. I have no any other income except salary. As for the norm in my state my daughter has an obc ncl certificate. Can she apply for neet 2025 with obc ncl ?
Ans: As a government primary school teacher in Odisha, determining your daughter's eligibility for the OBC Non-Creamy Layer (NCL) status for NEET 2025 involves understanding specific criteria. The OBC-NCL category offers reservation benefits to candidates from Other Backward Classes who fall under the Non-Creamy Layer, primarily assessed based on the family's annual income.

Key Considerations: Income Threshold: The current income limit for OBC-NCL eligibility is a gross annual family income below ?8 lakh. Families exceeding this income are categorized under the Creamy Layer and are ineligible for OBC reservation benefits.

Exclusion of Salary Income: The Government of Odisha has clarified that, for determining OBC-NCL eligibility, the annual income from salaries of Class II and Class III government employees should not be included in the total family income calculation. This means your salary as a primary school teacher (typically classified under Class III) is excluded from the income assessment for OBC-NCL status.

Steps to Ensure Eligibility: Verification: Confirm your family's income details, excluding your salary, to ensure it falls below the ?8 lakh threshold.
Certification: Obtain the OBC-NCL certificate from the local issuing authority. Ensure that the certificate is issued after April 1, 2024, as it must be valid for the NEET 2025 application process.

Stay Informed: Regularly check for any updates regarding income thresholds or eligibility criteria, as policies may change.

By following these guidelines, you can accurately determine and secure your daughter's OBC-NCL status for NEET 2025. All the Best for your Prosperous Future.

In this year IIM Sambalpur launched their BS Program in Data Science and AI. Should I opt that cause it's Fees is around 25 Lakh and newly launched. I am probably getting NIAT Hyderabad so should I go with that only.
Ans: IIM Sambalpur’s newly launched four-year fully residential B.S. in Data Science & Artificial Intelligence, aligned with NEP 2020, is offered by an Institution of National Importance, features a flexible entry–exit structure, and delivers a curriculum co-designed with industry leaders, blending mathematics, statistics, programming, AI, management and ethics through intensive lab sessions, coding bootcamps, live projects and internships; however, being the first cohort, placement track record is yet to be established and total tuition is ?25.97 Lakh. NIAT Hyderabad partners with Chaitanya (Deemed to be) University to award a UGC-recognised B.Tech in Computer Science with embedded AI/Data Science training, guided by IIT/IIIT alumni, uses an industry-reverse-engineered curriculum, provides an Industry-Ready Certificate (IRC), pan-India placement access across 3000+ hiring partners, and reports 400+ paid internships in the first semester with sustained real-world projects and mentorship teams on campus.

Recommendation: Given the premium fee and unproven placement outcomes at IIM Sambalpur versus NIAT Hyderabad’s established industry-focused pedagogy, pan-India placement network and early internship success, the recommendation is to opt for NIAT Hyderabad. If you prioritize a degree from an Institution of National Importance with a cutting-edge interdisciplinary curriculum and can accept placement uncertainty, consider IIM Sambalpur BS Data Science & AI. MY SUGGESTION: Prefer NIAT-H. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Idk what career path to choose ...I love aviation and being a pilot is my dream but my parents aren't allowing me to pursue any course related to aviation now ..apart from aviation I'm interested in other fields such as business,environmental..but I really wanna study aviation ...what do I do?
Ans: Choosing a career that balances passion with practicality requires examining the core skills, institutional quality, and future prospects in each field. Aviation demands strong aeronautical knowledge, excellent communication, quick decision-making, physical fitness, and situational awareness (make sure that you have all these skills); top DGCA-approved pilot training schools include Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Uran Akademi (IGRUA), Bombay Flying Club, and National Flying Training Institute, all offering modern fleets, simulators, experienced instructors, and 90–95% CPL pass-rates. Business careers require leadership, strategic thinking, quantitative analysis, communication, and adaptability; leading undergraduate BBA/BMS options are NMIMS Anil Surendra Modi School of Commerce, Christ University, and IIM Indore’s IPM, noted for NBA-accredited faculty, industry-integrated curricula, and 85–95% placement consistency. Environmental Science demands research methodology, data analysis, fieldwork, policy literacy, and sustainability mindset; premier UG programmes are at IISc Bangalore, JNU, and BHU with NAAC A+ ratings, interdisciplinary labs, mandatory internships, and 75–90% placement or postgraduate progression rates. Each discipline offers strong accreditation, faculty expertise, infrastructure, industry linkages, and placement frameworks.

Final recommendation:
To pursue your dream of becoming a pilot while addressing parental concerns, consider enrolling in a top DGCA-approved flight academy and demonstrate commitment through ground school success. As backup, prepare for top-ranked BBA programmes like NMIMS BBA, or B.Sc. Environmental Science at IISc, ensuring a versatile foundation and robust career support across fields. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
