Question by Sonia - Mar 05, 2024Hindi

Health

My fasting sugar is 105 and hb1ac is 6.40 I weigh 94 kg n I'm 48 yrs old

Ans: An HbA1c of 6.4 is indicative of pre-diabetes. To control spikes of blood sugar levels lifestyle modifications are necessary. Consume a balanced diet that includes complex carbohydrates and high-fiber foods like whole grains, oats, dahlia, fruits, and vegetable. Focus on foods with a low glycemic index which will prevent rapid spikes and crashes in blood sugar levels. Avoid sugary foods and processed simple carbohydrates (such as white bread or white pasta), chocolates, fast foods, etc., especially on an empty stomach. Include good quality protein foods in every meal. Engage in regular physical activity, as exercise can help regulate blood sugar levels.

I m 67 years age and my hba1c is 10.2 and fasting sugar is 243 I m taking insulin 12 units of Novo Rapid flexi pen 3 times In a day morning, afternoon and night before food and Toujio 12 units at 5 pm.

Ans: It is advisable to consult your physician about your insulin dosage as your blood sugar levels are very out of range. Dietary modifications can include foods like complex carbohydrates like whole grains (brown rice, quinoa, oats), legumes, and vegetables. Include healthy fats like avocados, nuts, and olive oil and lean proteins like fish, poultry, tofu, and beans. Limit sugary foods, refined carbs, and saturated fats and stay physically active.

Ans: You have realistic chances for ECE in newer/lower NITs and several IIITs (especially via later rounds/CSAB). Target IIIT ECE as a strong option and keep some NITs as aspirational.

Hello Sir, my daughter got 1.9L rank in jee. Can she get core branches like mechanical engineering in some good NIT? Please suggest. Thanks

Ans: Chances with Mechanical are almost nil/dim. Lower/newer NITs may be possible in lower-demand branches, depending on category/home state, so stronger realistic options are state colleges, GFTIs, private colleges, or CSAB opportunities

Good luck.

Sir my son got CRL 27265 GEN category. Home state is Gujarat. Need your guidance for admission in CSE or related branches. Preference NIT,IIIT, PVT

Ans: Your son has realistic CSE/related options with newer/lower-cutoff NITs only in less-demanded branches, but much stronger chances in good IIITs and reputable private colleges. So prioritize IIIT CSE/IT over lower NIT non-CS branches if CSE is the fixed goal.

Career

Considering CRL of 33000 for my daughter in General category, what are the possibilities of core branches particularly Electrical and Mechanical in NIT like Calicut, Nagpur (home state) and Rourkela? Also which NIT she can aspire for if she opts for Chemical. Will IIIT-Nagpur be a good choice if she plans CSE/ECE.

Ans: Electrical/ECE/Mechanical in top NITs like Calicut, Rourkela, and VNIT Nagpur are NOT possible. Mechanical/Chemical or lower branches in mid/lower NITs are possible. Prefer NIT (Chemical/Mechanical in decent NITs) over IIIT Nagpur unless your daughter is strictly CS-focused.

Question by akshata - May 03, 2026Hindi

Career

Dear Sir/Madam, I am a JEE aspirant who recently appeared for the Maharashtra State Board HSC examination and secured 65%. However, as per the eligibility criteria for JEE Mains, a minimum of 75% is required. I would like to inquire whether I should appear for the class improvement examination conducted by the Maharashtra State Board. Specifically, I wanted to understand if appearing for the improvement exam in July is a worthwhile option, and whether it can significantly increase my overall percentage. I would be grateful if you could guide me on whether the improved marks are considered for eligibility and how effective this attempt usually is. Thank you for your time and guidance.

Ans: Yes. Appearing for the improvement exam is a worthwhile option if you can realistically raise your aggregate to 75%+, because improved marks are generally considered for JEE/JoSAA eligibility. But take care that during this exercise, you do not lose a year due to a delay in the results. Make a wise decision after considering all angles. You did not mention the score of the JEE examination in your question. Hence, it is not possible to guide you to the point.

Good luck.

Career

Sir , My daughter got 98.17 percentile and 30600 rank in JEE mains . She is the general category student . We live in Noida . She did her 12th from Delhi School . What are her chances in getting CSE or E&C in any good NIT or IIIT based on all the above said inputs . Will we get the seat in these branches in NIT or IIIT . If not please suggest any good GFTI also . We are planning to fill JAC Delhi counselling also . Apart from this should we go for any other counselling or keep any Private institute as a back up option . Please advise .

Ans: She has chances in ECE and in lower-cutoff CSE at newer NITs/IIITs, along with very good IIIT options. She should definitely pursue JoSAA + JAC Delhi + state/private backups (e.g., LNMIIT/Thapar/Jaypee if available), as top NIT CSE is unlikely, but quality NIT/IIIT/GFTI outcomes are very achievable.

Good luck.
