Hi sir, how to handle shin pain? Without taking break from running

Ans: In case you do not want to take break from running please reduce intensity of running. Shin pain reduces with rest. Apart from that you can use ice packs, please check if your footwear are light and flat, can use compression bandage. Calf Stretching is also helpful. If pain is very sever please do consult Physiotherapist and Physiotherapist can use modalities like Ultra Sound , Laser or TENS.

Dear Roopashree, Can you suggest natural ways to ease joint pain? Thank you, Vimal

Hi Vimal, joint paints are a common issue even amongst young people these days.

However, there could be many factors such as age, genetics, your diet and daily routine, leading to joint pain.

I suggest you visit an Ayurvedic doctor to understand the root cause of join pains for a more sustainable solution.

hello Nidhi i have just turned 40 and off late started playing profession cricket for a club like after 12-13 yearrs , my problem is whenever i run fast my left knee (just below left knee ) starts paining hence i am not able to run fast. this problem i face when i do squats also and while driving manual car. i have been doing yoga and knee massage but it is not helping me in a great way. can you please suggest something else. Thanks regards syed

Ans: Hello Syed,
In front of the knee there is a knee cap called as patella. Usually pain just below the knee could be due to patellar tendonitis or any other cause called as patellofemoral pain syndrome.
It would be good if you can visit a good physiotherapist or a sports therapist who can do a detailed evaluation and treatment like either taping, Ultrasound, certain different kind of VMO activation exercises, ITB release maybe required for you.
For now you can start icing that area for 20 minutes twice a day.
Also do check your vitamin D3 and vitamin B12 levels if not checked recently.
All the best for a pain free knee!

I have calcenàl spur inboth of my legs how can i overcome theache

Ans: I'm sorry to hear about the pain from your calcaneal spur. Physiotherapy can effectively manage this condition through several approaches. Ultrasound therapy uses sound waves to reduce inflammation and promote healing in the affected area. Stretching exercises, particularly for the calf muscles, can alleviate tension and pressure on the heel. These can include calf stretches, where you stand facing a wall with one foot forward and the other back, keeping your back heel on the ground and leaning forward to stretch the calf, and towel stretches, where you sit with your leg extended, loop a towel around the ball of your foot, and gently pull the towel towards you to stretch the calf and heel. Strengthening exercises, such as heel raises and toe towel scrunches, help strengthen the muscles around the foot and ankle to provide better support and reduce strain on the heel. Manual therapy techniques, like massage, can reduce muscle tension and improve circulation. Applying ice packs to the affected area can help reduce inflammation and pain. Your physiotherapist might also recommend supportive footwear or orthotics to reduce strain on the heel and provide guidance on adjusting activities to minimize pain and prevent further injury. I recommend visiting a nearby physiotherapist for a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

My son got 245 in bits .He can get any Brecht branch

Ans: Priyanka Madam, by now your son must have been allotted/not allotted any seat by BITS. Please update the status for today. However, please note, A BITSAT score of 245 situates you within the previous two years’ closing-score bands for core engineering streams at the Pilani, Goa, and Hyderabad campuses. At Pilani, the B.E. Chemical Engineering cutoff ranged from 224 in 2023 to 247 in 2024, placing your 245 close to the 2024 threshold and comfortably above 2023’s mark; B.E. Civil Engineering closed at 213 and 238, making admission highly probable; and B.E. Manufacturing Engineering cutoffs of 220 and 243 indicate a strong likelihood of allotment. At Goa, Chemical Engineering closed at 239 in 2024 and 248 in 2023, and Civil around – (not offered in 2024) – but Pilani-equivalent streams suggest safe admission; Manufacturing cutoffs mirror Pilani trends, bolstering your prospects. At Hyderabad, Chemical Engineering cutoffs of 238 and 209 over the two years ensure a secure allotment, while Civil Engineering’s 235–204 band similarly favors your score; Manufacturing at Hyderabad showed closing marks near 218–251, indicating moderate probability. Across campuses, Civil and Manufacturing remain reliably within reach, Chemical at Pilani may require waitlist movement but is feasible given historical fluctuations, and all three streams at Hyderabad and Goa present strong chances. Additional seats open during special iterations further enhance admit probabilities.

Recommendation: Considering consistent cutoff trends and seat matrices, prioritize B.E. Civil and Manufacturing Engineering at BITS Pilani for guaranteed allotment, consider Chemical Engineering at Pilani via waitlist movement, and secure Chemical, Civil, or Manufacturing Engineering at BITS Hyderabad or Goa for assured admission, capitalizing on slightly lower cutoffs and ample seat availability. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Question by Manjunath - Jul 18, 2025Hindi

Career

I am working as Business Analyst from past 4 years but I wanted to move to technical role. I have done Btech in CSE from tier-3 college. I wanted some advise on the the best way to switch to a tech role. 1. Taking some online boot camp to get in-depth knowledge and doing side projects over the weekends 2. Taking WILP from BITS in Software engineering/ data science 3. Prepare from GATE 2026 and aim for IITs

Ans: Manjunath Sir, To shift into a technical position, integrating structured learning, credentialing, and practical experience is essential. The recommended pathway combines immersive project-based training with a recognized postgraduate credential while keeping a long-term goal of elite technical qualification. Begin with a part-time online software engineering or data science bootcamp, dedicating weekends to substantial portfolio projects to build hands-on skills and confidence in key stacks . Concurrently, enroll in BITS Pilani’s Work-Integrated M.Tech (Software Engineering or Data Science & Engineering) to earn a UGC-approved postgraduate degree without leaving your job, benefitting from weekend live classes, remote labs covering full-stack or analytics tools, and a final semester dissertation that bridges theory with organizational impact . This dual track—bootcamp plus WILP—provides immediate upskilling, peer and mentor networks, and a formal degree. After 12–18 months, if aiming for top-tier R&D or core engineering roles, commence GATE 2026 preparation via a structured three-phase roadmap: concept building (June–August), full-length practice (September–November), and final mock-test calibration (December–January), targeting a CSE rank
