Health

Greetings from Prayagraj. I am male having 56years. I am having constipation problems especially after my Covid disease in 2021. Kindly guide what precautions are to be taken ?

Ans: Hello. Constipation is a common problem and largely has to do with diet. Increase fibre content, like salads, veggies and whole grain foods like oats. Increase water intake if it is less than 2 litre per day. Avoid maida containing products. Also you may need to create a routine for daily bowel regulation. For eg, wake up in the morning, drink a glass of warm water, wait for a bit of pressure and use the toilet. Make this a daily routine. Usually if you follow the same routine daily, it will become a habit and constipation will settle. If you need further consultation and medications please reach out to your physician or you can consult me online.

Sir while been on class 12 i had given one of my attempt of jee exam, but in class 12(cbse board )i got back in one subject in year 2024-2025, so i dicided to leave cbse board and join nios board so then i given by 12 board paper through nios board in October 2025 , so i wanna ask now do i get any attempt left of jee exam or not, cam i give jee exam in year 2027

Ans: Yes, you’re eligible for JEE Main in 2027. Your year of passing is 2025 (NIOS), and NTA allows JEE Main for three consecutive years after that: 2025, 2026, and 2027. You’ve used 2025 once, so you still have 2026 and 2027 attempts left. However, I also suggest taking a reliable psychometric career assessment to get an objective idea of suitable career options for you and then choosing a UG program/branch that genuinely matches your strongest interests and passions.

Hlo sir My son have passed 11th in science pcb by cbse board. But in 12th he want to change stream from science to humanities. Is there any rule to change stream??

Ans: Under CBSE rules, Class 11 and 12 form a two?year course. After passing Class 11, a student cannot normally offer new Class 12 subjects not studied in Class 11, and any subject-change request must be made early in the session (before 15 July) through the school.

So, a direct PCB to Humanities shift in Class 12 is generally not allowed; options are repeating Class 11 with Humanities, changing to an open school board (like NIOS), or requesting rare special permission via the school and CBSE regional office. I suggest you approach your school authorities first to get this clarified further. ALL the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Relationship

How can you tell if a co-worker is flirting with you and wants to go out on a date?

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
First clue would be them asking you out on a date verbally. If there’s no confirmation of such nature, you can try and gauge their behavior, but that’s risky business because some people are just being nice and kindness can be mistaken as flirting. If you are unsure, ask your other colleagues if they too feel that your co-worker is flirting with you or if you are assuming it.

Hope this helps.

Sir.. My daughter scored 94.4 percentile in jee january shift belongs OBC from tamil nadu... what are the possibilities to get NIT?

Ans: At 94.4 percentile, her expected JEE Main rank is around 65,000, which usually clears the OBC?NCL cut-off. As an OBC girl, she may get newer NITs or lower-demand branches, but CSE/ECE in top NITs like Trichy is unlikely; keep IIIT/GFTI options open too. If possible/affordable, have 3-4 other best options in Tamil Nadu itself such as SSN, SNU, Sathyabhama, Saveetha, PSG etc. ALL the BEST for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future!

Asked by Anonymous - Mar 07, 2026Hindi

Career

Hi, I need honest career guidance based on my situation. I completed my HSC in 2024 with PCB stream (no Mathematics) and scored only 45%. I was preparing for medical entrance but it didn't work out, and due to personal reasons I couldn't appear for improvement exams either. It's now 2026 and I have a 2 year gap. I now want to pursue a career in IT or Computer Science. I'm confused between BSc IT, BSc CS, BCA, and Data Science — and keep getting mixed opinions from everyone. My specific questions are — 1. Since I don't have Maths in HSC, can I appear for the HSC Maths exam as an Isolated Candidate in July–August 2026? And if I clear it, will that result be valid for 2026–27 admissions? 2. With 45% and a 2 year gap, what are my realistic college options in Mumbai? Which good colleges have lower cutoffs for BSc IT / BSc CS / BCA? 3. Given that I'm coming from Biology with no Maths background — which degree would actually be the best fit for me for real career growth, not just for getting admission? 4. Does college name or tier matter a lot in the IT field with lower percentage, or do skills and portfolio matter more? 5. Honestly, what is the smartest move for someone in my exact situation right now? I don't want to waste more time and want to make the right decision. Please guide me."

Ans: Hi
Go with BCA. BCA colleges are more flexible with % and background.
You can try
Tilak Maharashtra Vidyapeeth
Amity University Mumbai
DY Patil University Navi Mumbai

if you can apply for name correction in GSEB then all the documents will have same name. Else you will have to Prepare an Affidavit (Name Declaration)

This is the most practical and accepted solution.

“Ashwin Anand and Anand Ashwin Alok Kumar refer to the same person (my son). ‘Alok Kumar’ is the father’s name, which has been included in some academic records.”

Question by Sourindra - Mar 15, 2026Hindi

Career

Sir, I have passed 12th in May 2024. I took a gap for preparation for NEET, but could not get good college. But in September 2025, I took admission in IIT Jodhpur's B.Sc./B.S. in Applied AI and Data Science (delivered in online mode, similar to IIT Madras's B.S. program), of which currently I'm a bona-de student, and upon graduation in 2029, I will become an alumnus of IIT Jodhpur. Along with this, I will be joining an engineering college in 2026 to pursue dual degree (IITJ+ offline college). Sir, do I have a gap of 1 year or 2 year in my education? What to write in my gap certificate ? It would have been very kind of you if you could help me regarding this matter.

Ans: Official gap = 1 year (2024–2025)
NOT 2 years, because from Sept 2025 you are already a bona fide student of a recognized IIT program.
In Gap certificate you can write
During this period, I was fully engaged in academic preparation and did not enroll in any regular academic program.
