Ans: HI HARSHADA,
GREETINGS FROM THE REDIFFGURUS!
In the past, you regarded your friend as your guru rather than your parents. This suggests that you might easily be persuaded by others without thoroughly analyzing the situation. Based on this, I'm curious about your claim that you don't want to participate in the rat race.

Before I share my thoughts, I would like to know the following information from you so that I can provide a more tailored response. It’s up to you to decide whether to accept.

1. Have you compared medicine with other fields?
2. What do you understand about the medical profession after completing your studies?
3. What are your parents currently saying about your plans?
4. What makes you feel like you aren’t enjoying the process?
5. What are your future plans if you aren't interested in NEET?
6. Is this decision truly your own, or has it been influenced by someone else?

Please share your answers.

BEST WISHES.

Career

Good Morning Sir My daughter, SC category Rank:19799 and CRL:3,16760.Does she have any chance of getting into NITs or IIITs or GFTIs?

Ans: HI JANAR SIR,
GREETINGS FROM THE REDIFFGURUS!

Less competitive branches in mid-tier NITs such as Raipur, Silchar, and Hamirpur may offer opportunities to secure admission in Chemical, Civil, or Mining Engineering.

There are good chances of obtaining core branches like Mechanical, Civil, or Electrical Engineering in newer NITs such as NIT Mizoram, NIT Nagaland, NIT Sikkim, and NIT Srinagar, as well as in newer IIITs like Manipur, Dharwad, and Agartala.

Regarding GFTIs (Government Funded Technical Institutes), core engineering programs are available at BIT Mesra and IIEST Shibpur. In Silchar and CU, programs like Computer Science Engineering (CSE) and Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) are accessible. Additionally, in lower-tier GFTIs such as Srinagar, PEC Chandigarh, and SPA, there are opportunities to secure admission in top branches.

Career

Hello sir I secured 461117 rank in jee mains 2026 as an EWS student which is not well rank but I don't want to take drop for a year JEE presentation so I want to take an addmission in btech cse program and my home state is odisha so I want to know in which government engeneering colleges or best private colleges with low fee and well ROI can I take addmission in Colleges like VSSUT,OUTR,IGIT Sarang and silicon university bhubaneswar in CSE btech. Career

Ans: Chances with CSE at VSSUT/OUTR seem dim/nil. IGIT CSE is difficult/borderline. But private options like Silicon University and other Odisha private colleges are realistic for CSE. In government colleges, target lower branches at Indira Gandhi Institute of Technology, Sarang, or lower-tier state colleges rather than top Odisha govt CSE.

Good luck.
