Please suggest me... !!!

Ans: Currently, stem cell therapy for diabetes cure is not available in India.

Ans: There is no proven and approved cure of Type 1 Diabetes, as of now. There are a few trials and research are ongoing. The news from China is very promising but it is an early stage. Such investigation trials and findings need to be further validated and we should wait for some more time.

Sir/ma'am I am getting 543 in neet UG (general category) what are my chances of getting gmc through aiq and state quota (maharashtra). If so what tier of gmc I can expect

Ans: Hi, the NTA has not yet announced the results and rankings for NEET, so we need to wait for more accurate predictions. However, based on your predicted marks, there is a slim chance of getting into GMC thru AIQ and chances are with State quota. As I mentioned, it's best to wait for more reliable information before drawing any conclusions.

My daughter has got CSE core at VIT Chennai, however she has a cutoff of 196 and has scored 491 in her CBSE board exams. We are trying for SSN merit management quota. If given a seat there, which one would you suggest for her better future Thank you in advance

Ans: Hi Shanthini Madam,

Congratulations on behalf of Rediff Gurus! I would like to know which category she got admission into at VIT and which course she is considering at SSN. Without this information, I cannot make a suggestion.

However, I encourage you to review the syllabus, labs, faculty, and future prospects at both institutions. Once you compare these two options, you will be better positioned to draw a conclusion. As someone who guides people directly, I prefer not to give specific suggestions. If I do, I would risk becoming more of a commission agent than a counselor.

i need a personal loan my cibil score is550

Ans: With a CIBIL score of 550, getting a personal loan is very difficult.

Try these steps:

Improve your score first by clearing outstanding dues.

Avoid applying to many lenders at once.

Try NBFCs or peer-to-peer lenders, but expect high interest.

Consider gold loan or loan against FD if urgent.

Build your credit score above 700 for better options.
