Dr. I am taking Glyxambi 25 mg once a day and cyblex three times a day. Price of Glyxambi is increasing every quarter at present price is 891 rupees can you suggest alternative medicine for Glyxambi

Ans: There are several cheaper substitutes. You can go to any of the pharmacy websites like Tata 1mg for example and look up Glyxambi. on that page, look up 'view all substitutes'. This would give you all the different options. Alternatively, you can go to generic medications store and they will be able to give you even cheaper substitutes, either in the same combination or as separate pills.

JEE Mains query: My son is in PUC in Karnataka and would like to know if we can avail Hyderabad-Karnataka quota for JEE mains or advance - if he passes with required percentile or percent. Ours is a general category. FYI, my daughter got medical seat using the same quota in 2023. Thanks is advance. SAH

Ans: Yes, your son can avail the Hyderabad-Karnataka (HK) quota, now known as the Kalyana Karnataka (KK) reservation, for JEE Mains or JEE Advanced, provided he meets the eligibility criteria. Since your daughter has already availed this quota for medical admissions, your son should also be eligible.

Hii, I am a student of physics wallah, online prepping for JEE.. I am currently 10th pass and I really sulky when it's about attending classes why waste a hefty amount of school fees when you can just get into NIOS system and crack JEE nd get into reputed IITs and nits ? What's your thoughts here

Ans: If you are naturally self-driven and don’t need external discipline, NIOS is a great choice for saving time and focusing on JEE. Otherwise, a flexible school (where attendance isn't strict) could be a better balance.

Sir maine 2025 me 12th up board se de liya hai aur jee main session 1 and 2 bhi de diya hai mujhe nhi lag rha ki mera cut off clear hoga mai drop nhi lena chahata kyuki mera drop me bhi nhi clear hoga kya mai dobara cbse board se 11th and 12th karke jee de sakta hu

Ans: Hi Prashant
Maximum 3 Attempts in 3 Consecutive Years:
JEE Main aap 12th ke year se lekar agle 2 saal tak, total 3 baar de sakte ho.
Agar aapne 12th 2025 me diya hai, to aap:
2025
2026
2027
me JEE de sakte ho.

12th Board Attempt Consideration:
Aap agar dobara 12th CBSE se karte ho (maan lo 2027 me), to JEE 2027 ka attempt valid hoga, aur aapka purana 12th (2025 UP board) attempt count nahi hoga.
Lekin, pehle diye gaye JEE attempts fir bhi count honge. Matlab aap already 2 baar JEE de chuke ho (2025 ke 2 sessions), to aapke paas sirf ek aur final attempt (2026 ya 2027) bachega.

I am a ISC board student, i did not do any coaching for jee. Should i join crash course for viteee & bitsat exams which are coming up soon??

Ans: Hi
VITEEE is relatively easier compared to JEE. If you're confident with ISC Physics, Chem, Math — and you can manage speed — you might not need a crash course, just mock test practice.

BITSAT is trickier due to speed + extra sections. If you're targeting BITS Pilani, a crash course can seriously help.
