Many of my friends in college have started doing intermittent fasting, and they keep talking about how effective it is for weight loss. Some of them say they've lost 4–5 kilos in just a few weeks by skipping breakfast and eating only between 12 PM and 8 PM. Seeing their results, I also started feeling tempted to try it. But I've been recently told that my blood sugar levels are a bit high, and I might be pre-diabetic. That's why I'm confused and a little scared. On one hand, everyone says intermittent fasting helps control weight and improves metabolism, but on the other hand, I keep reading that people with diabetes shouldn't stay hungry for long hours because it can cause a sugar drop. So I don't know what's true anymore. Is intermittent fasting actually safe for someone who has early signs of diabetes, or is it something I should completely avoid? And if it's risky, is there a safer way to manage my weight without harming my sugar levels?

Ans: Chances are low but not zero. But keep other options ready as a backup. It is advisable to consider other options other than Thapar, which is fairly costlier than the others.

Good luck.

Ans: Prefer CSE @ Thapar over Mech @ BITS (for better career prospects (placements + flexibility). Yet, the final choice will be yours. Else try with lower NITs and with few IIITs @ CSE/Mechanical/ECE

Good luck.

Ans: Kumar Sir, for entrepreneurship, Mechanical is usually better than EE if he wants broad problem-solving, product-building, and hardware/startup exposure. ALL the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Ans: At CRL 35,210, General male, Maharashtra, CSE in top NITs is difficult, but strong chances exist for CSE/ECE in several IIITs and ECE/EE in some NITs/GFTIs. JoSAA confirms Open-seat cut-offs are based on CRL rank.

For your target IIITs:
IIIT Surat – CSE is borderline/tough, but ECE is realistic. In 2025, IIIT Surat ECE closed around 31k–33k+, while CSE was around 24k–26k in regular rounds.
IIIT Vadodara / IIIT-Vadodara International Campus Diu – better chances for CSE/ECE, especially Diu campus.
IIIT Nagpur – ECE/EE-related branches possible; CSE tougher.
IIIT Bhopal – CSE tough but ECE/IT-related options possible.

Also try VNIT Nagpur (EE/Mechanical), MANIT Bhopal, SVNIT Surat, NIT Raipur, NIT Jalandhar for ECE/EE/lower CSE-allied branches. Backup: CSAB, MHT-CET CAP counselling, COEP/VJTI/SPIT/PICT, and good private colleges. Prioritise branch interest over only institute tag.
