Dear Komal,
What causes water retention in the body and how can one prevent it?
Thank you.
Pranita Kaul

Ans:

A number of factors can cause water retention, including:

Standing or sitting for too long
Menstrual changes
Fluctuating hormones
Eating too much sodium
Medications
A weak heart
Flying in an airplane
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

Some simple dietary changes may help reduce water retention.

For starters, you can try eating less salt by, for example, cutting back on processed foods.

You can also consume foods that are rich in magnesium, potassium and vitamin B6.

Ans: Hi AVI,

The NTA has not released the marks and rank list yet. We will need to wait for more information. Based on your prediction, a score of 540 is a decent score for admission to MBBS under the state-level quota, while a higher score is necessary for the All India Quota (AIQ). For updates regarding the marks and the admission process, please follow the respective websites.

Career

Sir i have a rank 33k in VITEEE but wasnt able to get into any ECE or CSE branch in VIT chennai but my friends with ranks of 70k+ got in is there any way??

Ans: Possible Reasons for This Discrepancy
Counselling Round Differences:

VIT counselling happens in multiple rounds. If your friends participated in later rounds, the cutoffs may have relaxed due to withdrawals.

Some seats may open up in sliding or mop-up rounds.

Category of Fee:

Your friends might have opted for higher fee categories (Category 2, 3, etc.), while you may have applied under Category 1, where cutoffs are stricter.

Campus/Branch Preferences:

Check if they selected less popular CSE/ECE specializations (e.g., CSE with Business Systems, or ECE IoT) rather than core branches.

Incorrect Preference Order:

Sometimes, students miss out because they placed less probable branches higher in preference order.
