My child spends too much time on the mobile and he doesn't read many books.He is very bright,but how do I get him to read more.

Ans: It depends on his age. If he is younger than 5 then no mobile time at all. If between 5&10 you need to negotiate a maximum mobile time of 1/2 hour or less. Older than 10 , 1 hour. Join a library and help him choose books and start reading to him . Then gradually make him read. Bedtime reading is a good habit. Basically it is up to you. You need to be firm.

How can I improve my son's writing skill, he is in 9th standard? He likes to read but when writing on his own, he is not good at expressing.

Ans: Ask him to write from his heart. If he likes to read, his grasp of the language must be good.
Ask him to see a picture for 30 secs and then write a story of what he saw, what was happening and what would be the likely outcome in about 150 to 200 words. Repeat the procedure many times. His imagination wl improve and so will his expression. You could then edit his small scripts and tell him how he could have written better.
Try it and tell me if it helps! All the best!

Hi Ma'm I have a son studying in Class 9th except school he was not interest in books he alway want to play that too max time on Mobiles. We are trying to avoid him with mobile. if mobile is not available he is busy with TV, if any scold on him he will leave home and go for play with his friends at ground but he is not showing any interest on studying. can you suggest how to handle this situation Hari Krishna Visakhapatnam (AP)

Ans: When you want him to Stop using mobile or screen,try to first give him equally reinforcing activities or situations where he is more engaged productively. It should not be necessarily academic related things initially. He can take care of daily household chores or some responsibilities which are helping him to be engaged. Appreciate his efforts incase you see him doing that. Some time we need to change our ways of dealing with situation to get them do what you want. You can take him with you for buying things like grocery , in short you can involve him in daily activities ,games etc.
Increase his focus on activities etc and then gradually set his academic goals clear.

Aruna, my son hates studying. He is 6 and likes to talk or answer questions orally but doesn't like to write or sit down for studies. I have tried talking to him and he simply says he doesn't like to write. He prefers to draw, colour or paint, but not writing. His notebooks are always incomplete. Can you suggest some simple tips how I can help him get interested in writing and studies?

Ans: Sentence starters where he can finish his sentences.
2. Graphic organisers which is a fun way to attempt work.
3. Word bank on the topic to support his writing
4. Short dedicated time for work with 5-10 minutes break after 20 minutes can help motivate your child to write.
After this has been achieved, keeping an alarm to complete his work for 20 minutes can be set.

I got 8760 rank in jee mains should i opt for nit with core branches or should i go with mnc at daiict gndhinagr

Ans: Shubham, With JEE Main rank 8760, you have viable admission prospects to several NITs for core branches including Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, and Electronics Engineering, particularly in newer NITs like NIT Puducherry (closing rank 11782 for CSE), NIT Meghalaya, NIT Manipur, and NIT Agartala where core branches accept ranks between 15,000-35,000.

Should I take architecture in NIT bhopal or cs aiml in any private college in MP. I am thinking that if I take Architecture in NIT I can learn coding and get good placement because its NIT but wouldn't cs aiml in private college would be a better option I am confused please guide me.

Ans: The choice between NIT Bhopal Architecture and CS AIML in private MP colleges presents distinctly different career trajectories with varying placement prospects. NIT Bhopal Architecture demonstrates moderate placement performance with 71.25% placement rate in 2024, 91.89% in 2023, and 67.12% in 2022, achieving median packages of ?6 LPA, ?5 LPA, and ?3.8 LPA respectively. However, architecture graduates typically earn 30% lower salaries than engineering counterparts and face limited scope compared to technical fields. While learning coding as an architecture student is possible, transitioning to IT roles requires substantial additional effort and self-learning, as architecture curriculum doesn't provide comprehensive programming foundation. In contrast, CS AIML programs in private MP colleges like LNCT Bhopal show stronger placement statistics with 65.58% placement rate in 2024, 71.68% in 2023, and 46.91% in 2022, with dedicated industry connections to major tech companies including Microsoft, Amazon, TCS, and Infosys. Private colleges in MP like Oriental University achieve 42.19% placement rates with packages up to ?72 LPA. The CS AIML specialization aligns directly with industry demands in artificial intelligence and machine learning, offering better career prospects in emerging technologies. Recommendation: Choose CS AIML in a reputable private MP college for superior placement opportunities, direct industry alignment, and specialized technical skills that match current market demands over NIT Bhopal Architecture.

I got 17k rank in comedk and no good percentile in jee mains what should I do

Ans: With COMEDK rank 17,000, you have viable admission opportunities to quality engineering colleges in Karnataka, despite poor JEE Main performance. Your rank falls within the acceptable range for several reputable institutions, with colleges typically accepting ranks up to 25,000-30,000 for various engineering branches. Ten colleges available for your rank include: Bangalore Institute of Technology, BMS Institute of Technology, Ramaiah Institute of Technology, Acharya Institute of Technology, BNM Institute of Technology, Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology, RNS Institute of Technology, KS Institute of Technology, Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering, and Sir M. Visvesvaraya Institute of Technology. These institutions offer strong placement records with 85-93% placement rates and packages ranging from 8-15 LPA average. While core branches like CSE may require ranks below 15,000 in top colleges, you can secure admission in branches like Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Electronics in mid-tier institutions. COMEDK provides better prospects than attempting low-ranked NITs or IIITs with poor JEE percentiles, as Karnataka's private engineering colleges offer quality education with reasonable fee structures of ?2-4 lakhs annually. Recommendation: Focus entirely on COMEDK counseling as your primary pathway, target mid-tier colleges for core branches or top colleges for non-core branches, and avoid wasting time on JEE-based admissions given your current percentile performance.

Hi I got jee mains 89 percentile and inter board 95 percentage.any nit iiit gfti chance for ece

Ans: Prakash, (Hope you would have filled maximum number of choices in JoSAA Counselling Window, the last date for which was yesterday). Coming to your question: With 89 percentile in JEE Main 2025, your expected rank falls between 1,51,000 to 1,65,000 , making admission to top NITs and IIITs challenging but not impossible through specific pathways. For ECE branch in NITs, general category students typically require ranks below 50,000 for premier institutes, though newer NITs like NIT Puducherry, NIT Meghalaya, NIT Arunachal Pradesh, and NIT Manipur accept ranks up to 40,000-50,000 . Some lower-tier NITs may offer ECE seats through home state quotas or in later counseling rounds . IIITs present better prospects, with institutes like IIIT Bhubaneswar accepting ECE students with ranks around 35,000-41,000 , while newer IIITs may accommodate ranks up to 50,000-70,000 . GFTIs offer the most viable option, with Electronics and Communication Engineering programs accepting ranks between 38,000-65,000 for general category . Your exceptional 95% intermediate marks provide additional advantages in state-level counseling and may qualify you for board-based admissions at select institutes . Recommendation: Apply strategically to newer NITs through home state quota, target mid-tier IIITs with ECE programs, focus primarily on GFTIs for highest admission probability, and leverage your excellent intermediate percentage for state quota benefits and alternative admission pathways. Have some more options as backups instead of relying only on JoSAA. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
