Ans:

Your situation may seem difficult to you, but it isn't reversible.

Diabetes with excess weight is a condition which can be overcome with healthy habits.

Lack of endurance and insulin resistance is a sign of uncontrolled sugar levels.

To bring a change, you must include aerobic and strengthening exercises which will increase your lean mass and metabolism.

Include healthy foods in your diet like oats, dalia, fruits, vegetables, whole grains and beans, which contain lots of fibre. This will help increase your metabolism and thereby reduce your blood sugar levels.

Protein-rich foods are necessary for sustenance, so include foods like dairy products, eggs (if permissible), lentils, nuts, soya, etc.

Reduce too much namkeen, which is not healthy and has lots of trans fats, salt and additional calories, which will spike the blood sugar levels.

A balanced diet that contains essential nutrients, and a modification of your habits, will result in a healthy lifestyle geared towards fitness.

My daughter scored 87% with PCMB in 12th last year from Noida and she's dropout this year but she is not perform well in Neet. Even she scored half marks as compare to last year.As a parents we guide her to go to abroad for mbbs but she say that I continue do my preparation for neet and also do btech in biotechnology or chemical course based on biology subject and also she give jee exam and got 74 percentile . By this she will get good government college in these low level courses. But we totally confused what is the better option for her future? Please suggest us . And she also spend her most time in phone when we were not in home and she forgot her aim and always sleeping till 12 afternoon. We thought she forgot her aim when we send her abroad and also BTech is different branch for her. Sir please guide what we do for her?
Ans: Hi Mukesh,

I understand that you are feeling confused about your daughter's educational options, likely due to external influences. Don't worry—I can help clarify things for you. It seems that you are uncertain about which course she should pursue from the following options: MBBS (in other countries), engineering, or biotechnology.

Regarding MBBS: She has attempted the entrance exam twice but did not achieve satisfactory scores. Additionally, she seems to lose focus when you are not home, indicating that she might need more guidance and supervision. Therefore, I recommend against sending her abroad for MBBS, as she may face challenges such as cultural differences and adjusting to new foods. If your goal is for her to become a doctor, consider the BNYS program; there are many opportunities after completing the undergraduate degree (this is my first suggestion). Alternatively, she could retake the entrance exam. If she chooses this route, she should identify the subjects or chapters where she needs improvement and focus her studies there. Encourage her to develop study tips or tricks to enhance her performance (this is the second option).

If she is interested in engineering, her choice should be based on her marks and skills. If she opts for engineering, I suggest she enroll in a specialized course after her second year to align her skills with market demands (this is the third option).

For biotechnology, she should choose a medicine-related BTech program rather than one focused on botany, as the job market favors medicine-related fields more (this is the last option, but I am not recommending it strongly).

If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask.

Here is, How to Predict Your Chances of Admission into NIT or IIIT or GFTI After JEE Main/Advanced Results – A Step-by-Step Guide

Providing precise admission chances for each student can be challenging. Some reputed educational websites offer ‘College Predictor’ tools where you can check possible college options based on your percentile, category, and preferences. However, for a more accurate understanding, here’s a simple yet effective 9-step method using JoSAA’s past-year opening and closing ranks. This approach gives you a fair estimate (though not 100% exact) of your admission chances based on the previous year’s data.

Step-by-Step Guide to Check Your Admission Chances Using JoSAA Data
Step 1: Collect Your Key Details
Before starting, note down the following details:

Your JEE Main percentile
Your category (General-Open, SC, ST, OBC-NCL, EWS, PwD categories)
Preferred institute types (NIT, IIIT, GFTI)
Preferred locations (or if you're open to any location in India)
List of at least 3 preferred academic programs (branches) as backups (instead of relying on just one option)
Step 2: Access JoSAA’s Official Opening & Closing Ranks
Go to Google and type: JoSAA Opening & Closing Ranks 2024
Click on the first search result (official JoSAA website).
You will land directly on JoSAA’s portal, where you can enter your details to check past-year cutoffs.
Step 3: Select the Round Number
JoSAA conducts five rounds of counseling.
For a safer estimate, choose Round 4, as most admissions are settled by this round.
Step 4: Choose the Institute Type
Select NIT, IIIT, or GFTI, depending on your preference.
If you are open to all types of institutes, check them one by one instead of selecting all at once.
Step 5: Select the Institute Name (Based on Location)
It is recommended to check institutes one by one, based on your preferred locations.
Avoid selecting ‘ALL’ at once, as it may create confusion.
Step 6: Select Your Preferred Academic Program (Branch)
Enter the branches you are interested in, one at a time, in your preferred order.
Step 7: Submit and Analyze Results
After selecting the relevant details, click the ‘SUBMIT’ button.
The system will display Opening & Closing Ranks of the selected institute and branch for different categories.
Step 8: Note Down the Opening & Closing Ranks
Maintain a notebook or diary to record the Opening & Closing Ranks for each institute and branch you are interested in.
This will serve as a quick reference during JoSAA counseling.
Step 9: Adjust Your Expectations on a Safer Side
Since Opening & Closing Ranks fluctuate slightly each year, always adjust the numbers for safety.
Example Calculation:
If the Opening & Closing Ranks for NIT Delhi | Mechanical Engineering | OPEN Category show 8622 & 26186 (for Home State), consider adjusting them to 8300 & 23000 (on a safer side).
If the Female Category rank is 34334 & 36212, adjust it to 31000 & 33000.
Follow this approach for Other State candidates and different categories.
Pro Tip: Adjust your expected rank slightly lower than the previous year's cutoffs for realistic expectations during JoSAA counseling.

Can This Method Be Used for JEE April & JEE Advanced?
Yes! You can repeat the same steps after your April JEE Main results to refine your admission possibilities.
You can also follow a similar process for JEE Advanced cutoffs when applying for IITs.

Have some other options also as back-ups instead of relying only on JEE/JoSAA.
