My wife had suffered with Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) in November 2022, immediately she was hospitalized and treatment of IVIG injections with 5 days course was provided. As her legs were not moving, she was shifted to Physiotherapy Rehabilitation Centre. After 4 months of rigorous treatment she was able to move with leg support & stick, but still after completion of of 1 year their is no progress. Presently also she is at the same stage and not able to walk independently without leg support and stick. Kindly advise.....

Ans: I'm sorry to hear about your wife's experience with Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS). It's important for your wife to continue with her physiotherapy sessions and other rehabilitation efforts. Even if progress seems slow, consistent therapy can help maintain existing mobility and potentially lead to further improvements over time.

My eleder brother was diagnosed with GBS Syndrome 3 weeks back, got the treatment done at the hospital, but now requires physiotherapy. Please recommend a good physiotherapy centre. Do you provide physiotherapy facility?

Ans: I'm sorry to hear about your elder brother's diagnosis with GBS Syndrome. It’s great that he received treatment at the hospital. Physiotherapy is indeed crucial for recovery from GBS and however can take considerable time Here are my recommendations Find a Local Physiotherapy Cente.It’s best to find a physiotherapy center close to your home to make frequent visits more manageable. This way, he can have regular sessions without the added stress of long travel times and travel expenses. It’s beneficial to learn various physiotherapy exercises that can be practiced at home. This will complement the professional sessions and help in continuous progress.
As for whether I provide physiotherapy , please specify your location so we can provide more accurate recommendations.
Feel free to reach out for further assistance. I wish your brother a smooth and speedy recovery.

Sir I secured 80.9 percentile in jee mains 2025 and my crl rank is 281438

Ans: With a 80.9 percentile in JEE Mains, you can expect a rank between 1,50,000 and 3,00,000. For you it is 281438. This percentile may not be sufficient for top NITs or IIITs, but it can still get you into some NITs, IIITs, and other government colleges, especially for less competitive branches or those in less popular locations. You might also be eligible for some private universities and engineering colleges.

Dear sir, my daughter is getting ECE in PES RR campus, BMS and MSRIT, please suggest which one to choose.

Ans: Choose MSRIT ECE for its superior 96% placement consistency, highest NIRF ranking at #75, and exceptional industry partnerships with SAP Labs, NVIDIA, and Bosch providing cutting-edge research opportunities and career advancement. Consider BMS College ECE for established reputation since 1946, strong industry collaborations with Volvo Group, and A++ NAAC accreditation. Select PES University RR Campus ECE only if you prefer larger campus infrastructure and international exposure programs, though placement rates and industry partnerships are comparatively lower than MSRIT's proven track record. PRO-TIP: Since BMSCE has increased its student intake from last year, it would be preferable to choose MSRIT over BMSCE or PES. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
