Which college can I get with a score of 89 in IAT

Ans: With an IAT score of 89, you're likely to be admitted to a few of the IISERs (Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research), especially if you're in a reserved category. However, admission to top IISERs like IISER Pune or IISER Kolkata with an 89 score is less likely, especially for a general category student. You might also consider other options like applying to State Engineering Colleges

I scored 123 marks in IAT ...which IISER I can get
Ans: Ankita, With your IAT score of 123 marks, you have viable admission prospects at several IISER institutes, though primarily at mid-tier and newer campuses rather than the most competitive ones like IISER Pune or Kolkata . Your score of 123 places you in the expected rank range of 200-1700, with most sources indicating ranks between 500-1700 for this score range . IISER Tirupati emerges as your strongest prospect with expected cutoff ranging from 115-125 marks for general category, where your score of 123 falls comfortably above the threshold . IISER Berhampur offers excellent opportunities with cutoff expectations of 105-120 marks, making admission highly probable . IISER Thiruvananthapuram presents good chances with expected cutoff of 105-130 marks for general category . For IISER Bhopal and IISER Mohali, admission remains possible but competitive as cutoffs range from 130-145 marks, placing your score slightly below the expected threshold . IISER Pune (cutoff 150-175) and IISER Kolkata (cutoff 140-160) would be challenging with your current score . Historical data from 2024 shows that candidates with similar scores secured admission at newer IISERs through multiple counseling rounds . Recommendation: Target IISER Tirupati, IISER Berhampur, and IISER Thiruvananthapuram as primary choices for strong admission prospects, while applying to IISER Bhopal and Mohali as reach options, ensuring participation in all counseling rounds to maximize admission opportunities. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

My daughter failed in class 9th and now she has enrolled in NIOS secondary . There is lot of free time . What can she do keep herself busy?
Ans: Before I answer your question, Vikas Sir, I want to ensure that your daughter doesn't spend more than 45 minutes a day on her phone or other electronic devices. If your daughter becomes addicted, she risks eye strain, headaches from blue light, poor posture, weight gain from inactivity, sleep issues from late-night use, and eating problems. It can also hurt her mind by making her depressed and anxious (27% more likely), making it difficult to concentrate and study, making her feel lonely and isolated from less real interaction, making her feel low self-esteem from comparison traps, and making her stressed and irritable from dopamine crashes.

Even if both parents work, keep communication open to boost her confidence—know what she loves. She should study 4-5 hours daily using NIOS books/SWAYAM and Class 10 mocks with the Pomodoro technique (25-30 mins study, 5-10 mins break) to stay focused. Add 30 minutes of skills like coding/typing or Duolingo English if interested, plus 10 minutes of yoga, hobbies (gardening/cooking/drawing/poems), and walks/cycling for fitness and fun. Finally, join NIOS WhatsApp groups for doubts and help at home and track weekly goals with rewards. Don't force anything—let her choose what excites her most! All the BEST for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future!
