My six-year-old son has always been very active. But for the last couple of days, he has seemed extra restless and has had trouble sitting still, even for short periods. Should we monitor for ADHD? What are some of the signs he may have ADHD?

Ans: ADHD presents as inability to sit at a place for a length of time, inability to complete a task, inability to concentrate without getting distracted and disturbing others in class. If the teachers are complaining of such behaviour then consult a child psychologist

Doctor my 10 year old son is in 5th grade. Since his childhood he has been a very active kid. For the past 18 months he is finding it difficult to concentrate on tasks involving his mind like board games/home work etc. Even at home he would be constantly engage in physical activities and would not sit idle. His handwriting is horrible and his grades have hit rock bottom. Should we consult a doctor?

My child is 13 years old and studies in school. Over the past few weeks, I have noticed small but clear changes constant smiling while looking at the phone, waiting eagerly for school in the morning, and repeatedly mentioning the same classmate during conversations. Homework now takes longer, marks have slightly dropped, and the class teacher has shared that my child seems distracted in class. When I gently try to ask what’s going on, my child becomes shy, avoids eye contact, and changes the topic, making me unsure how much to intervene. As a parent, I feel confused and worried, but I don’t want to scold or break my child’s trust.

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Your child is not a child anymore and is growing up to notice people around and feel a certain interest in them. A natural phase where youngsters start to obsess more about themselves, their thoughts and act in ways that may seem strange to parents. Yes, school and studies may not be a focus, but that will change over time when they learn ti manage their social expectations and academics as well.
In the meantime, talk to your child; listen even if they are silent, be with them. Most often they need that love and reassurance that their parents love them unconditionally and are on their side as they navigate the adolescence phase...just be with your child :)

All the best!

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
If you are physically hurting yourself, I strongly urge you to stop and speak about your struggles to a close friend or family member. Talking really helps. Next, I understand that you want your partner back, but we can't force someone. Give it some time. I think both of you need time right now to heal from the wound. I would urge you to take better care of yourself, both mental and physical health.

Hope this helps

Sir got Btech CE in Somiya Vidyavihar university (Deemed) is it good choice? Got 93.36 in mhcet. 87.67 inJEE

Ans: Yes, K. J. Somaiya School of Engineering, Somaiya Vidyavihar University (Deemed), is a good choice for B.Tech in Computer Engineering, especially if you value academics, industry exposure, and a Mumbai location. With a 93.36 MHT-CET and 87.67 JEE Main percentile, you should also participate in the MHT-CET CAP counseling—you may secure seats at DJ Sanghvi, TSEC, or Fr. CRCE, which can offer comparable or better return on investment. Despite higher fees, Somaiya remains a strong option. All The Best for Your Prosperous Future!

Good Afternoon Sir, I need your guidance regarding my admission situation. I scored 77 percentile in JEE Main and 95 percentile in MHT CET. Unfortunately, I got a compartment in CBSE Class 12 Chemistry, so I am currently not eligible for MHT CET CAP rounds or JEE-based admissions. As a result, my current percentile scores are of no use this year. My compartment examination is scheduled for 28th July, and I am confident that I will clear it. Given this situation, I wanted to ask: - Should I take admission in a below-average college that is still available after clearing the compartment? - Or would it be better to take a one-year drop, prepare again, and aim for a much better college next year?

Ans: I could have given a more accurate response if you had also shared your 12th Grade Maths and Physics marks. However, based on the information provided, I want to remind you—in case you are not already aware—that you need to ensure a score of at least 75% or be in the top 20 percentile in your board exams. Scoring above the 96 percentile in JEE 2027 will be extremely challenging but not impossible based on your JEE 2026 performance. Your MH-CET performance is good and can be further improved with focused preparation over 7-8 months. The large disparity between your JEE and MH-CET results is unclear to me. To answer your question, I suggest considering a drop year to prepare well and strategically for both exams. Additionally, it is advisable to have at least 8-9 backup options apart from JEE and MH-CET, such as COMEDK, PERA-CET, VITEEE, AEEE, SITEE, etc., and/or register with some reputed colleges that accept your Board Exam or JEE scores. All The Best for Your Prosperous Future!

What is better iiit jabalpur ece or bits hyd dual degree with MSC maths

Ans: If you have strong academic skills and can afford higher fees, the BITS Hyderabad Dual Degree (M.Sc. Mathematics) is the better long-term option. Its flexible dual-degree program, strong alumni network, Practice School internships, excellent brand value, and the chance to earn a highly sought-after B.E. (especially in CSE/ECE based on first-year CGPA) offer significantly broader career opportunities compared to IIIT Jabalpur ECE. Choose IIIT Jabalpur ECE only if lower cost and a guaranteed ECE branch are your main priorities. All The Best for Your Prosperous Future!

Asked by Anonymous - Jul 15, 2026

I'll most likely be joining RVCE this year. My KCET rank is 42x and my COMEDK rank is 36x. Based on previous cutoffs, I'm assured a Core CSE seat through COMEDK, while through KCET I might get Core CSE if the cutoffs move, but AI/ML is almost certain. I'm a bit confused about Core CSE vs the CSE Allied branches (AI/ML, Cyber Security, Data Science, etc.), so I'd really appreciate some guidance. 1. What are the major differences between Core CSE and CSE Allied in terms of syllabus, degree awarded (does it mention the specialization or just B.E. in CSE?), placements 2. If the syllabus differs, from which semester do the branches start diverging? Roughly how much of the coursework is different? 3. During placements and internships, are Core CSE and CSE Allied students treated equally by recruiters, or do some companies prefer/restrict to Core CSE? 4. For someone aiming to become a software engineer, does choosing AI/ML, Cyber Security, or Data Science put you at any disadvantage compared to Core CSE? 5. If I get AI/ML/Cyber/Data Science through KCET but Core CSE through COMEDK, do you think paying roughly ₹1.8 lakh extra for Core CSE is worth it?

Ans: At RVCE, CSE Allied (AI/ML, DS, Cyber) is almost at par with Core CSE. Choose KCET Allied over paying ?1.8 lakh extra for Core CSE via COMEDK.

Good luck.
