Ans: Hi, You are dot on when it comes to eating healthy and even the workout plans. However, if not done at the right time during the day, they can rather be harmful to the body. Our body functions are regulated by the solar & lunar cycle during the day. As the Sun controls our digestion, it is advisable to eat during the day hours and very light after sunset, especially no later than 8PM. Secondly, the day is also governed by the three doshas - Kapha, Pitta and Vata - therefore our workout, sleep, food regime should be inline with these systems. Since you have a family history, it is advisable to meet a Ayurvedic practitioner to understand these cycles and plan your day accordingly.

Help Needed: Unable to Login to JEE Mains Portal Due to Mistaken DOB Entry Hello Everyone, I’m reaching out to seek advice and support from anyone familiar with handling issues on the JEE Mains portal. Despite entering my correct application details, I’ve been unable to log in to download my admit card, and I believe it’s due to a mistake I made during the application process. The Problem During registration, I mistakenly entered the wrong date of birth. My correct date of birth is 12/08/2008, but I accidentally entered 22/08/2008. Now, neither date works when trying to log in, and I keep getting the error message: "Invalid Application No or Date of Birth." My Details: Name: Shivam Srivastav Application Number: ...................... Registered Contact Number: ...................... Registered Email ID: ................. Request for Help If anyone has faced a similar issue or knows how to resolve this problem, please share your suggestions. I’ve already emailed the authorities but am waiting for a response. I’m also prepared to provide necessary documents, such as my Class 10th marksheet, to verify my correct date of birth. Any help or guidance would be highly appreciated! Thank you for your time and support. Warm Regards,
Ans: Satyam, First step: Verify the following right away: Any SMS on your Registered Mobile Number from NTA from the date you registered in the NTA portal; your Registered email Inbox for any mails from NTA from that date. There's more likely you missed it or the mails ended in SPAM/JUNK Folder.

The second step is visiting NTA Jee Main Website. Click Contacts US Menu. around 4-5 Helpline Numbers can be tried and also send REMINDER MAILS to all mail IDS supplied there from your Registered eMail ID, by providing the following information: (a) Your Application Number (2) Your Registered Mobile Number (3) The nature of the problem & (4) Scanned copy of your Class 10 Marksheet for your DOB proof.

Please be advised; admit cards will only be released on January 19 or 20.

Third step: You have not indicated you are from which place? If you know of any colleagues or family friends in Delhi, ask them to personally visit the NTA Office and try to settle the matter this week; by next week, the Admit Card would be issued.
