Hello Doctor, my mother is 60 years old, and we live in a small town where medical help isn’t immediately available. I’ve always been paranoid about missing critical signs of a stroke or heart attack, especially because she has high blood pressure and cholesterol. Could you please guide me on how to quickly and accurately recognize these warning signs and what immediate steps I should take before professional help arrives?

Ans: The best way is to see your physician at least once in 6 months and get some tests done especially CBC, Lipid Profile, kidney & Liver function tests, electrolytes , ECG and USG of Neck and any other test which the doctor advices. Don't panic. there are many things which are not predictable. We can take precautions and leave rest to fate!

I got seat in eee in amrita amritapuri campus and eee in cusat soe which would be best , please suggest me a good college for my academics and research prospective
Ans: Dhananjayan, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham’s Amritapuri campus offers a B.Tech in Electrical and Electronics Engineering with NBA accreditation, PhD-led faculty, advanced power-electronics, instrumentation and embedded-systems labs, and specialized research centres (Flexible Electronics & Advanced Materials, e-Learning, SMART Mobility) fostering interdisciplinary projects. Its 2022–23 batch recorded an 86.67% placement rate over three years with an average package of ?4.91 LPA. CUSAT School of Engineering’s EEE programme, under NAAC A+ accreditation, provides modern power-systems, control and communication labs, active research in Power & Energy Systems and Industrial Power Electronics, and industry internships through its Central Placement Office. The 2024–25 placements achieved an average package of ?5.40 LPA and approximately 80% branch-specific placement consistency for EEE. Both institutions ensure robust curricula, accredited programmes, experienced faculty, well-equipped infrastructure, strong industry tie-ups and dedicated placement support.

For deeper academic research immersion, interdisciplinary lab access and consistent core-sector placements, the recommendation is Amrita Amritapuri EEE. If higher average packages and broader corporate recruiter engagement in IT and power sectors are priorities, the recommendation shifts to CUSAT SOE EEE. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
