Career

Hi Sir.. My son got 96.2 and 50000 rank i jee mains. We are in general category. He got 216 marks in bitsat session1. He also got a seat in vit chennai in Electronic and computer engineering.is there any chance of getting seat in NIT in cse or ece branch. Which one would u suggest to prefer.Is Electronic and computer engineering branch a good one for placements..

Ans: Sirisha Madam, Getting CSE from NIT will be much difficult. For 216 marks in BITSTAT, you son will not get CSE Branch. ECE also is a good branch. Some software companies recruit even ECE students. Whatever Institute / University & Branch your Son chooses, he should keep upgrading his skills from his 1st year itself till his Campus Placement during his last year, from NPTEL, Internshala etc. and / or any other online platforms, recommended by his College Faculties, to be COMPETENT among other Students.

All The BEST for your Son’s Bright Future, Madam.

Dating, Relationships Expert - Answered on May 15, 2026

Asked by Anonymous - May 13, 2026Hindi

Relationship

My husband often lies about small things just to avoid arguments. For example, he says he was busy at work when he actually went out with friends. There are so many times I would tell him to remind his mother or talk to her about something, he will forget and later say he just didn’t want to do it. These may not seem big but it is causing a lot of issues at home. When I find out from someone else, I become a laughing matter. Even if he says something, I have to double check. I don't trust him any more. How to explain this to him?

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand your situation can be tiring. It might seem trivial but when it keeps piling up, it gets emotionally exhausting for the person who is on the receiving end of this. Repeated half truths can make a person feel emotionally unsafe in the long term and trust and comfort are key aspects of a healthy marriage. Maybe his intent is not malicious, he still needs to understand that it is not fair to you. Here is what I suggest: let him know that the issue is not the small lies, but the feeling it creates for you. When you find out the truth from someone else, it embarrasses you and breaks your heart that you don't know things about your husband that others do. This pattern makes it difficult for you to trust things that he says. Along with expressing your emotions, acknowledge them too. See if you react negatively when he says he wants to hangout with friends; I am not blaming you here, but introspection is the only way to understand where this behavior is stemming from. Let him know that you do not want yourself to turn into a detective trying to decode everything. You want plain honesty. Clear communication can help a lot. Start from here.

Best Wishes.

Mutual Funds, Financial Planning Expert - Answered on May 15, 2026

Asked by Anonymous - May 15, 2026Hindi

Money

SIr, How can I plan a SWP in Current Serious of Market or shall i wait?.From Which MF i.e L,M,S Flexi,Mutilcap from i satrt SWP so it will Provide me a TaxoReturn well.

Ans: » Do Not Wait for “Perfect Market”

SWP should not depend on current market mood alone
Waiting for perfect timing usually delays financial decisions
What matters more is:
Your withdrawal need
Asset allocation
SWP structure

» Best Way to Start SWP
Do not start SWP from highly volatile funds like:

Small cap funds
Aggressive mid cap funds

In current market conditions, safer approach is:

Start SWP mainly from:
Flexi cap funds
Large & Mid cap oriented funds
Hybrid funds if available

These categories generally provide better stability.

» Avoid Starting SWP from Small Cap Funds

Small caps can correct sharply
Recoveries may take longer
Continuous withdrawal during correction can damage corpus faster

So small caps are better left for long-term growth, not regular income withdrawal.

» Tax-Efficient SWP Strategy
SWP is already tax-efficient because:

Only gain portion is taxed
Entire withdrawal is not taxed

For equity mutual funds:

Long-term capital gains above Rs 1.25 lakh taxed at 12.5%
Short-term gains taxed at 20%

So ideally:

Start SWP from investments held for more than 1 year

» Practical SWP Structure
Better approach:

Keep 3–5 years expenses in relatively stable funds
Continue growth allocation separately in equity funds

This creates balance between:

Income stability
Long-term growth

» Finally

Do not wait endlessly for market correction or rally
Start SWP gradually and systematically
Prefer Flexi-cap / Large-oriented funds over small caps for SWP
Review withdrawal rate yearly instead of reacting monthly

A properly structured SWP depends more on allocation discipline than market prediction.

Hello I got 97.6 percentile 38295 rank in jee mains and confused whether take DTU and nsut for mechanical as I am outside delhi quota, or i should go for CSE or electrical at some nit or iiit , and also I didn't give vitjeee , so suggest me some good colleges and give me your suggestions

Ans: No need for confusion. Don’t go with Mechanical @ DTU/NSUT. Prioritize NIT/IIIT options in ECE/Electrical or lower CSE branches via JoSAA, and also consider good NITs like IIITs/NITs tier-2, where you’ll get core CS/ECE, which is usually a stronger long-term choice than Mechanical at DTU/NSUT.

Sir DTU mechanical placements are lucrative still i shouldn't go for it ? And if not and pls suggest any good nit or iiit

Ans: Even though DTU has decent Mechanical placements, it’s still not the best choice at your rank if you can get CSE/ECE/IT in a good NIT/IIIT, because tech branches usually give a higher salary ceiling, more flexibility, and broader career options than Mechanical. The final choice/decision will be yours.

I am a Class 12 CBSE student. This year I got compartment in Chemistry and I will be appearing for the compartment exam in July. I wanted guidance about my options if I decide to appear for Class 12 again next year as a CBSE private candidate. I have a few doubts: 1. What is the procedure for applying as a private candidate for reappearing in Class 12? 2. How are exam centres allotted for private candidates? 3. What happens to practical/internal marks while reappearing? 4. If I score 75%+ next year and appear for JEE, will colleges consider me a normal eligible candidate? 5. Will I need to show this year’s marksheet/compartment result as well, or will the improved marksheet be enough? 6. Can this year’s compartment affect admission eligibility later if I improve next year? I’m trying to understand whether preparing seriously for next year is a safe option for JEE eligibility.

Ans: Yes, reappearing next year is a valid and safe path for JEE eligibility if you improve your score properly. It would be better to contact the administrative office in charge of your school/college for your queries as early as possible. All your queries are based on the CBSE exam, and the school administration is the only one capable of answering you officially with updated information.

Good luck.
