Question by Kavitha - Oct 21, 2022Hindi

Health

Hello Roopashree, By now, we all probably know that refined edible oils are unhealthy. I recently switched to wood-churned/cold-pressed oil for regular cooking and frying. But is it true the high-density volume of these oils can spike cholesterol levels? Kavitha

As compared to refined oils, cold pressed oils are always a better option as the former loses its nutritional value during the heating process.

Further, repeated heating during the cooking process or constant frying causes a series of chemical reactions in the oil, like polymerisation (similar to the process of creating plastics). Ever noticed the residue deposits on your frying vessel?

To answer your question, cold pressed oils might be dense but they are rich in saturated fats and other nutrients that boost good cholesterol in the body. Given their high nutritional value, consumption should be minimal for proper digestion.

Any kind of oil should always be consumed in lower quantities with minimal or no heating, so always saute your vegetables at the end.

Oils like olive oil and coconut oil can also be consumed raw with soups or salads.

Sir my daughter got around 24500 rank in jee mains. We are general category and live in kanpur up. What are some good options for her in nit and iiit considering we are comfortable with mechanical and chemical as well. Also she has a plan to opt for higher studies so a good college tag could rwally help. Also should I tell her to apply for some private universities as well or not?

Ans: Based on your daughter's score, she can target MNNIT Allahabad: 2024 JoSAA HS OPEN female Mechanical closed around 30,734, so she has a fair chance; Production/Industrial and Materials are safer. Chemical at MNNIT may be tougher under available data, but fill it above Mechanical. Also fill MNIT Jaipur Chemical/Civil, NIT Kurukshetra Mechanical/Civil/Electrical as stretch, and NIT Jalandhar Chemical/Mechanical; 2024 data shows these branches often close beyond 24.5k for female/OS or comparable quotas. Also fill MNIT Jaipur Chemical/Civil, NIT Kurukshetra Mechanical/Civil/Electrical as stretch, and NIT Jalandhar Chemical/Mechanical; 2024 data shows these branches often close beyond 24.5k for female/Other State or comparable quotas. For IIITs, top IIIT Allahabad IT/ECE is unlikely at 24.5k, but include lower IIITs/GFTIs in CSAB. Your daughter must also have the following backups: Thapar, LNMIIT, Jaypee Noida, (Shiv Nadar, Manipal, and VIT - North India Campuses.) Prioritize MNNIT tag if higher studies are the plan for your daughter. All the BEST for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future!

My son got 98.84 NTA score with 4796 is OBC NCL rank we are from tamilnadu can we get ece/eee from NIT trichy

Ans: HI MOHANRAJ SIR,
GREETINGS FROM THE REDIFFGURUS!
Based on your son's rank and domicile area, there are good chances for him to get into lower branches such as Civil Engineering, Metallurgy, or Production at NIT Trichy. He may also have opportunities for ECE/EEE at some northern/newer NITs.

Please note that the chances for ECE/EEE at institutions like NIT Calicut are slim, and NIT Warangal tends to have less competitive branches. It may also be challenging to secure these branches at NIT Jaipur or NIT Surathkal.

Therefore, it is important to prepare accordingly and participate in the counseling process to achieve your goals.

BEST WISHES.
