Finally my homeopath advised me hemeo medicine Roulfilia-Q and Arjuna-T Q, 20 drops each thrice every day for 2 mpnths and subsequently only once for one month and now only once on alternate day. I am quite astonished with the results that my BP is now 80/125 and some times even 75/125-130. I had stopped my allopathy medicine after one month of homeo medicine. I am now continuing on the present dose. Also my symptoms of heavyness and palpitation since have stopped !!

Ans: Yes, Through Homeopathy medication, one can address the Constituitional imbalances too

1st round sc category max closing rank in IISER is 856. I got 2600 category rank. Any chance in the upcoming rounds?

Ans: The first?round SC closing rank of 856 indicates high demand at all IISERs for SC seats. In subsequent rounds, vacancies from are reallocated, and historic trends suggest SC cutoffs can extend beyond 2,000–2,500, especially at newer or less?preferred campuses where closing ranks in later rounds often surpass the 2,000 mark. Given your SC rank of 2,600, you may still secure admission at IISERs like Berhampur, Tirupati, or Thiruvananthapuram in Rounds 2 or 3, where extended cutoffs frequently approach or exceed your rank.

Recommendation: Persist through CSB special rounds and upgradation in IISER counselling while including all IISER preferences; your rank is competitive for later rounds at the newer campuses that typically admit SC candidates up to around 2,000–3,000, offering a viable path to admission. However, have some back-ups too, instead of relying only on IAT/IISER. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!
