Question by Amit - May 19, 2023Hindi

Health

Kind attention Rediff Gurus : My 2 year old son clearly speaks Mummy and Papa but struggles to talk/utter other things. We are also not able to understand what exactly he wants and then he starts crying badly. Does he need any medical attention. My elder son started talking when he was just 1.5 years old. Kindly suggest

Ans: When the language does not develop in time,the child develops other alternative ways to communicate.
Since the child has a behaviour of crying to get the things, it is a clear indication that child s behaviour is unknowingly getting reinforced by providing the desired items. Start with the labelling of things by giving him appropriate words so that he understands that he can use the words instead of crying.
Also monitor how much screen time is being given to him.
Development of language happens only when the child has the pre-requisites , check that too.

My grand son is now 5 Yes. old. He is healthy and active but he does not speak. Though he has no hearing problem but does not respond when we try to alert him. He is taken to a place in Goregaon for more than 6 months for speech therapy but there is no distinct progress towards his speaking skill. We need the advice & opinion of an expert in this matter so that he may start speaking and communicate with others. We are much worried about his schooling which is getting delayed. My question to expert is to find a suitable speech therapist for my child who may be helpful in this regard. Thanks.

Ans: You can visit a hospital and consult a developmental pediatrician for further testing

Health

hello Ma'am/Sir, we are based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. I have a 2 years 4 months old son who doesnt speak anything except mama, baba, dada, bhai, didi etc... I am seeing a speech and swallow speacialist in Riyadh for last 4 months but no improvements. the advised us to speak with him in only one language, so we speak only hindi. on last visit the dr. asked us to see a speech therapist but hte problem is there are no speech therapist of hindi language in Riyadh. his hearing test was done which was fine, the boy is active, healthy and takes instruction but just vant speak. please advise what shall I do.

Ans: No screen time for him. Read stories to him. Put up charts of words with pictures and read out a word everyday till he learns that and then move to the next word. When he points to something, say the word and encourage him to speak the word.
Try to have online consultation with speech therapist based in India who you can visit when you come here

Ans: You have realistic chances for ECE in newer/lower NITs and several IIITs (especially via later rounds/CSAB). Target IIIT ECE as a strong option and keep some NITs as aspirational.

Good luck.

Hello Sir, my daughter got 1.9L rank in jee. Can she get core branches like mechanical engineering in some good NIT? Please suggest. Thanks

Ans: Chances with Mechanical are almost nil/dim. Lower/newer NITs may be possible in lower-demand branches, depending on category/home state, so stronger realistic options are state colleges, GFTIs, private colleges, or CSAB opportunities

Sir my son got CRL 27265 GEN category. Home state is Gujarat. Need your guidance for admission in CSE or related branches. Preference NIT,IIIT, PVT

Ans: Your son has realistic CSE/related options with newer/lower-cutoff NITs only in less-demanded branches, but much stronger chances in good IIITs and reputable private colleges. So prioritize IIIT CSE/IT over lower NIT non-CS branches if CSE is the fixed goal.

Career

Considering CRL of 33000 for my daughter in General category, what are the possibilities of core branches particularly Electrical and Mechanical in NIT like Calicut, Nagpur (home state) and Rourkela? Also which NIT she can aspire for if she opts for Chemical. Will IIIT-Nagpur be a good choice if she plans CSE/ECE.

Ans: Electrical/ECE/Mechanical in top NITs like Calicut, Rourkela, and VNIT Nagpur are NOT possible. Mechanical/Chemical or lower branches in mid/lower NITs are possible. Prefer NIT (Chemical/Mechanical in decent NITs) over IIIT Nagpur unless your daughter is strictly CS-focused.

Question by akshata - May 03, 2026Hindi

Career

Dear Sir/Madam, I am a JEE aspirant who recently appeared for the Maharashtra State Board HSC examination and secured 65%. However, as per the eligibility criteria for JEE Mains, a minimum of 75% is required. I would like to inquire whether I should appear for the class improvement examination conducted by the Maharashtra State Board. Specifically, I wanted to understand if appearing for the improvement exam in July is a worthwhile option, and whether it can significantly increase my overall percentage. I would be grateful if you could guide me on whether the improved marks are considered for eligibility and how effective this attempt usually is. Thank you for your time and guidance.

Ans: Yes. Appearing for the improvement exam is a worthwhile option if you can realistically raise your aggregate to 75%+, because improved marks are generally considered for JEE/JoSAA eligibility. But take care that during this exercise, you do not lose a year due to a delay in the results. Make a wise decision after considering all angles. You did not mention the score of the JEE examination in your question. Hence, it is not possible to guide you to the point.

Good luck.

Question by Manarsh - May 03, 2026Hindi

Career

Sir , My daughter got 98.17 percentile and 30600 rank in JEE mains . She is the general category student . We live in Noida . She did her 12th from Delhi School . What are her chances in getting CSE or E&C in any good NIT or IIIT based on all the above said inputs . Will we get the seat in these branches in NIT or IIIT . If not please suggest any good GFTI also . We are planning to fill JAC Delhi counselling also . Apart from this should we go for any other counselling or keep any Private institute as a back up option . Please advise .

Ans: She has chances in ECE and in lower-cutoff CSE at newer NITs/IIITs, along with very good IIIT options. She should definitely pursue JoSAA + JAC Delhi + state/private backups (e.g., LNMIIT/Thapar/Jaypee if available), as top NIT CSE is unlikely, but quality NIT/IIIT/GFTI outcomes are very achievable.

Good luck.
