Dear Roopashree, can you suggest some healthier alternatives to tomatoes that we can use in everyday cooking?

Mam, what is a healthier alternative to tomatoes?

Ans: Hello. Tomatoes are mostly used for sourness in our foods. If it is in a sauce, yogurt, lemon, amla, mango powder are alternatives. To eat by itself or in salads, you can choose oranges or sweet limes. I'm not sure if I have answered your question appropriately. Please feel free to ask a follow up question as needed.

Question by Rajesh - May 08, 2026Hindi

Dear Sir, Good morning, my son scored 97.233 percentile in JEE mains and the ranking is 43683 in General and 12901 in OBC ( Tamil Nadu Home state) Please suggest the future scope streams and locations we get in Indian Institutes.

Ans: Rajesh Sir, based on your son's score, NIT Trichy CSE/ECE is unlikely, but he can try for Production, Civil, Chemical, and Metallurgy branches through the home-state quota. Better future scope choices are the following: ECE/EEE/AI-related branches over weak core branches if he wants IT jobs. Preference order can be IIITDM Kancheepuram ECE/Mechanical-Smart Manufacturing, NIT Puducherry ECE/EEE, NIT Andhra Pradesh ECE/EEE, NIT Calicut/Surathkal lower core, IIIT Kottayam/IIIT Dharwad/IIIT Una/IIIT Bhopal/IIIT Ranchi CSE/ECE through CSAB, and then GFTIs. Additionally, reviewing JoSAA opening and closing ranks from the past 2–3 years will provide valuable insights and help your son confidently select and fill his preferred & maximum number of choices. However, your son can have backup options of TNEA counselling and 4-5 reputed private engineering colleges of Tamil Nadu State. All the Best for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Question by Rajender - May 06, 2026Hindi

Money

Can we invest in small cap mutual funds at this time or wait for pullback

Ans: Hello, and thank you for writing to me. Investing in small-cap funds should not be based on trying to time a “pullback,” as this is difficult to predict consistently.

Small-cap funds can offer high growth potential over the long term, but they are also more volatile and can see sharp corrections in the short term. If the investment horizon is 5+ years and there is comfort with such volatility, investing through SIPs is a better approach rather than waiting for the “right time.”

If already investing, it is advisable to continue SIPs. If starting fresh, one can begin with a SIP instead of a lumpsum.

Overall, small-cap funds can be part of a portfolio, but allocation should be limited and aligned with risk appetite, as returns are subject to market risks.

Mutual Fund investments are subject to market risks, read all scheme related documents carefully.

Sir I got 85.94 percentile ( OBC NCL ) from Maharashtra so sir is there any NIT possible in any branch or Sir will you please recommend any GOOD gov college with GOOD branch

Ans: Chances with NITs are nil. But you can try with newer NITs like NIT Mizoram / Nagaland / Arunachal Pradesh. It would be better to try with COEP, VJTI, etc or good branches in state colleges through MHT-CET/JEE CAP rounds.

Good luck.

Career

Sir my son got 77perxentile in jee and he is OCI any chance he get admission

Ans: Bharti Madam, At 77 percentile, NIT/IIIT/GFTI chances through normal JoSAA are very low. Since he is OCI, check whether he must apply through DASA/CSAB-DASA, because DASA is the official route for foreign national/OCI/PIO/NRI candidates for NITs, IIITs and GFTIs, and it requires a valid JEE Main rank plus Class 12 eligibility. Realistically, at this percentile, expect only low-demand branches or vacant-seat possibilities, not CSE/ECE in good NITs/IIITs. Still register for CSAB/DASA special rounds, as CSAB fills seats after JoSAA. It is advisable to have 5-6 reputed private engineering colleges also as backup options. All the Best for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Sir i got 93%ile in jee mains. My CRL is 265794 and OBC(ncl) category rank is 93991. And I'm from Bihar. Can i get CSE/ECE/IT/MnC in Any IIIT/NIT/GFTI

Ans: Harsh, Based on your score, CSE/ECE/IT/MnC in NIT/IIIT/GFTI is almost not possible through JoSAA. Still register for JoSAA + CSAB Special Rounds, as CSAB fills vacant NIT/IIIT/GFTI seats after JoSAA. But at this rank, even lower branches may be difficult and do not depend on NIT/IIIT/GFTI for tech branches. Better backups are Bihar UGEAC/state counselling, private colleges with fee control, CUET-based central universities, AKTU/MPDTE/REAP/HSTES if eligible, and affordable options like GECs/state engineering colleges. For CSE/IT, prefer a decent state/private college with good coding culture over an unrelated weak branch. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future!

Hi Sir, My daughter got 95.639 in Jee mains and her obc-ncl rank is 21327. We are from Karnataka state Kindly suggest colleges for cse, ECE or eee

Ans: Based on your daughter's score, NIT Surathkal CSE/ECE is unlikely, but try EEE/Mechanical/Chemical/Civil/Mining/Metallurgy under the home-state quota. For CSE/ECE, give priority to IIIT Kottayam, IIIT Dharwad, IIIT Kalyani, IIIT Bhagalpur, IIIT Ranchi, IIIT Bhopal, IIIT Una and newer IIITs through CSAB, where vacancies may help. For NITs, try NIT Andhra Pradesh, Puducherry, Goa, Agartala, Meghalaya, Mizoram, or Sikkim for ECE/EEE or lower branches. Additionally, reviewing JoSAA opening and closing ranks from the past 2–3 years will provide valuable insights and help your daughter confidently select and fill her preferred & maximum number of choices. It is also advisable to have backup options among KCET/COMEDK colleges—such as RVCE, BMSCE, MSRIT, PES, NIE Mysuru, BMSIT, and DSCE—as they may offer better branch and location value compared to a weaker NIT branch. All the Best for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future!
