Should we consider xerostomia (dry mouth) as a serious issue in a healthy 60-year-old individual, despite frequent hydration? The person has no comorbidities or heart-related issues. ---

Ans: Xerostomia, though not life-threatening, is serious enough to warrant examination and treatment. The symptoms, though trivial and manageable at first, could worsen if left untreated. So please do not neglect it. Please consult a dentist to rule out oral causative factors. Once those are ruled out it may be necessary to consult an ENT Surgeon and perhaps an Endocrinologist until the cause is known and suitable treatment initiated.

My comedk rank is 20509 I want to join cmrit, rnsit but i can't afford the fees of them. So i preffered pes college of engineering mandya (cse branch). What is placement record and academic culture? All good, is it worth to join it? Remember i ask about pesce mandya not pes university
Ans: Yes, Your Honor.

Before making any predictions, I would like to address the issue of tuition fees. You can obtain an education loan through the Vidyalakshmi portal at a nearby nationalized bank. Additionally, some trusts, such as Tata and Reliance, offer scholarships to eligible candidates. If you are not already aware of this, I encourage you to visit the Vidyalakshmi portal for more details and to proceed accordingly.

Regarding placements, the institution will provide you with a platform to participate in campus recruitment drives. However, you will need to respond to questions from recruiters during these drives. Thus, in addition to meeting eligibility requirements, it is essential to develop the necessary skills to compete effectively with other candidates. Participating in campus drives is more beneficial than seeking opportunities elsewhere, as you will gain insight into your competitors' strengths and weaknesses. If you miss this opportunity, it may not present itself again. Therefore, instead of questioning the institution, I urge you to focus on preparing yourself for the campus drive.

In terms of academic culture, it is important to ask more questions and seek clarification from your mentors or lecturers. Most of the faculty members are available to support you, so make the most of their assistance to enhance your position.

Please note that this institution is private and autonomous. I recommend that you familiarize yourself with the syllabus, available facilities, and the qualifications of the faculty members.

That is all, Your Honor.
BEST WISHES.

Our son got cse seat at KLU Vijayawada and comedk rank 77400 , we may get tier2 colleges in Bengaluru. What is your suggestion to choose either of two options
Ans: Murali Sir, Koneru Lakshmaiah University (KLU) Vijayawada is a UGC Category-1 deemed university with NAAC A++ grading and NBA-accredited CSE, offering a well-structured ACM-aligned curriculum, modern software and AI labs, and a 20 Gbps campus network. CSE students have enjoyed 100% placement eligibility with major recruiters like Wipro, Infosys, TCS, and Amazon visiting annually, yielding an average package of ?7 LPA and median ?8.2 LPA over the last three years. Experienced PhD faculty, active industry MoUs, and robust internship opportunities from the second year underpin its academic rigor and professional preparedness.

Tier-2 Bengaluru private colleges accessible at a COMEDK rank of 77,400 typically hold NAAC B+/A accreditation with NBA-accredited programs, combining fundamental curricula with basic programming and communication labs. Their placement cells report 60–75% CSE placement rates, with average packages of ?3–5 LPA, and limited recruiting from regional IT services firms. Faculty profiles vary, and industry tie-ups are fewer, resulting in fewer live projects and smaller internship stipends.

recommendation Opt for KLU Vijayawada CSE to leverage its top-tier accreditation, assured placement eligibility, advanced labs, and extensive recruiter network. Consider a Bengaluru tier-2 college only if proximity, lower fees, or specific state quota advantages outweigh the benefits of KLU’s superior infrastructure, consistent placements, and research environment. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!
