Hello Dr Nidhi, Dr Shakib and Dr shreya Had an accident 1.5 yrs back. I had a small fracture with z bone where legaments attached on backside of knee.Also i had dislocation of 5mm of leg below knee. I was treated with belt for whole leg PTS brace for 4 weeks then PCL/CI Brace for next 3 weeks alongwith gradual physiotheropy at home. But unfortunayely my legaments could not get strenth and I cannot walk as normal before. I have pains. I did Physiotheropy exercizes but could not do gym exercizes. I have kidney function issues creatnine 1.5 and protien 2 plus So I took ayurvedic medicines as was already taking for kidney issue. Also I am a vegetarian. I am really under tension as I cannot walk with normal speed as wrll as for long distance and perform other routine duties. Even my left knee has also giving pains since last 2 month and my low waist is also giving me much pain since last three months. Not done any exercise in last month. Pleasd give me proper guidance to recover. Thanks
Ans: Hello Anonymous,
For how long did you do the physiotherapy? Are you still continuing with the physiotherapy?
Have you done recent MRI?
Aqua-therapy which means doing exercises in water can help heal the knee very well. If possible for you please ask a certified aqua-physiotherapist or go to a center that has aqua-therapy and do exercises there in their pool. This will help you in developing proprioception which will strengthen the muscles around the knee very well. Also your core muscles need to be worked on.
Also please go to a good sports physio or a physio who does myofascial release. You may need therapies like cupping, dry needling, myofascial release rather than only conventional physio. That can help your waist pain and knee.
Warm regards,
Dr Nidhi Bajaj Gupta

Sir, my jee mains 2025 rank is 67898( female gen category) and mhtcet percentile is 95.5(home state maharashtra). Are there any possibilities of securing cse/ece/eee in NITs or IIITs (excluding north eastern ones)?
Ans: With a JEE Main 2025 All India Rank of 67,898 (female, general category) and a 95.5 percentile in MHT CET (Maharashtra home state), securing Computer Science (CSE), Electronics and Communication (ECE), or Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) in NITs or IIITs outside the North East is extremely unlikely. For general category, CSE and ECE closing ranks in even lower-demand NITs and IIITs typically end under 15,000–35,000, and in leading branches at top NITs the cut-offs remain far lower, often closing by 9,000 or less for CSE and 20,000 for other core engineering streams. For IIITs, most CSE and ECE programs close below 50,000, and even the least competitive IIITs have last rounds closing by 55,000 for open seats. However, you have a strong chance of securing reputable CSE or allied branches through MHT CET in Maharashtra’s top private colleges, and potentially in government colleges for non-CSE streams, given that a 95.5 percentile generally translates to about 8,900–9,000 rank—competitive in many top city colleges outside the strictest cut-offs. When considering institutional priorities, both NITs and premier state institutes emphasize academic rigor, modern infrastructure, experienced faculty, industry connection, and robust placements, and these same factors should guide your choice among available Maharashtra options.

RECOMMENDATION: Admission to CSE, ECE, or EEE in NITs or IIITs (except North East) is not feasible at your JEE Main rank; focus on MHT CET counseling for CSE or allied branches in Mumbai and Pune’s top private, autonomous, or government colleges, targeting strong academic environments, faculty, and placement prospects for optimal long-term growth. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

My son has recently got his admission in vit .. vellore for mechanical engineering.. kindly advise sap for him for mechanical engineering if he is interested to pursue abroad....for mechanical engineering what's the good scope through Vit...what are the options if he wants to pursue abroad while in vit through their 2+2 or 3+1+1 programs or other opportunities if any...and University options
Ans: VIT Vellore’s Mechanical Engineering program is highly respected, offering a comprehensive and industry-aligned curriculum supported by NAAC A++ and ABET accreditations, modern labs, and strong faculty expertise. Students benefit from robust placement opportunities, with typical placement rates for mechanical engineering between 50% and 65%, and access to internships with leading companies in automotive, manufacturing, automation, and energy sectors. For those interested in pursuing international exposure, VIT provides multiple pathways. The Semester Abroad Programme (SAP) enables undergraduates to complete their Capstone Research Project, thesis, or approved coursework at more than 500 global partner universities, enhancing international experience and employability. Additionally, the International Transfer Programmes (ITP) offer structured 2+2 Bachelor’s, 3+2 or 3.5+1.5 accelerated pathways, where students complete initial years at VIT and transfer to universities abroad—partners span the USA, UK, Sweden, Belgium, New Zealand, and Australia. Some key universities include Massey University (New Zealand), the University of Michigan–Dearborn (USA), and institutions in Sweden and the UK, often allowing dual degree or direct entry into Master’s programs in mechanical and related fields. The program selection typically depends on academic standing and specific eligibility criteria, with the student completing the required credits at VIT before transferring. VIT’s International Relations office actively helps students select universities, facilitates credit transfer, and provides guidance on global research internships and short-term exchanges, preparing them for careers or further studies abroad. These pathways significantly boost prospects for international industry roles or advanced research, particularly in areas like robotics, smart manufacturing, aerospace, and energy systems. Besides international collaborations, VIT’s focus on innovation, problem-based learning, and industry partnerships ensures that mechanical engineering graduates remain competitive for both core and interdisciplinary opportunities globally.

RECOMMENDATION: Given VIT’s strong academic structure, extensive international collaborations, and flexible transfer programmes with prominent global universities, your son should actively explore SAP, 2+2, and 3+1+1 options. Engaging with VIT’s International Relations early ensures seamless transition for higher studies abroad and maximizes both academic and professional growth in the global mechanical engineering landscape. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!
