Hi komal ji, good morning I'm Sandeep, post graduate. My age is 33. Recently I was diagonised with prediabetes. My fasting blood sugar is 160-170 and PPBS is 280. So please suggest me the right way to treat my health condition. Thanks in advance.

Ans: A fasting blood sugar level of 160-170mg/dl and PPBS of 280mg/dl is indicative of Diabetes. You should consult your physician for appropriate medication. A diet rich in fiber, protein foods and low in simple carbs and fats are the dietary modifications required. Have foods like whole grains, vegetables, fruits, beans, nuts, etc. to offset blood sugar spikes and increase satiety value. Avoid sweets, pastries, cakes, chocolates, white bread, aerated water, fatty foods, etc. Small frequent meals will be beneficial in controlling blood sugar levels. Strengthening and aerobic exercises are necessary to lower body fat and increase lean mass.

Hello sir, my daughter has scored 87.63 percentile in MHT CET. Can she get CSE or AI in any good college can you please tell me the available options. We are also considering ITM skills university is it worth it?

Ans: Hello dear
The chances of getting CSE or AI in tier 1 or 2 colleges seem challenging. Yes, you can consider the option of ITM with your preferred course. You can try for CSE or AI in a reputed private college via management quota. However, with state-level counseling, she has bright chances of getting into colleges with a branch compromise situation, i.e., with core branches.

My son got only 75.13percentile in jee main. He got a seat in vit vellore in mechanical branch Now he wants to take a one year drop What should he do? Please suggest

Ans: Hello dear
Please reconsider the decision to take a gap year. Very few aspirants can crack the JEE while repeating. VIT is a reputed institution. If you are not interested in the mechanical branch, then choose your preferred branch in any reputed college via management quota to save a year. But as far as possible, do not take the drop. The final decision will be yours.

Question by Sandeep - Jun 18, 2025

Career

My daughter got 96.36 percentile in MHT CET but I understand the MHT CET score is irrelevant for Non-Maharashtra State candidates for whom only JEE Main scores are considered. Is this correct? Given her JEE Main score was 93.33 can she get a good college in Mumbai? We are looking at TSEC, Vivekananda, Fr Agnel, KJ Somaiya.

Ans: Hello Sandeep
Yes, a non-Maharashtra student can participate in the MHT-CET counseling if he has appeared for the MHT-CET exam. You are eligible to participate in the CAP (Centralized Admission Process) counseling for engineering and pharmacy courses. You will likely fall under the All India Candidature (AI) or Outside Maharashtra State (OMS) category. You can apply for private unaided colleges, Govt, and Semi-Govt colleges in Maharashtra. With the mentioned score of MHTCET (96.36) you have a chance to get admission to a reputed private college in Maharashtra. You can try the mentioned colleges via MHT-CET or JEE score.
Best of luck.
