Hi....Why my right hand thumb nail has become uneven...like a bumpy road..it develops from the base of the thumb and slowly comes towards the nail growth....once it gets cut as nail....again the bump starts from the base of the thumb....

Ans: Internal crush injury happened sometime earlier must have developed fibrous tissue which could be a reason for the bump
Or if there is discolouration, check out for fungal infection of the nail

Ans: Hi AVI,

The NTA has not released the marks and rank list yet. We will need to wait for more information. Based on your prediction, a score of 540 is a decent score for admission to MBBS under the state-level quota, while a higher score is necessary for the All India Quota (AIQ).

Career

Sir i have a rank 33k in VITEEE but wasnt able to get into any ECE or CSE branch in VIT chennai but my friends with ranks of 70k+ got in is there any way??

Ans: Possible Reasons for This Discrepancy
Counselling Round Differences:

VIT counselling happens in multiple rounds. If your friends participated in later rounds, the cutoffs may have relaxed due to withdrawals.

Some seats may open up in sliding or mop-up rounds.

Category of Fee:

Your friends might have opted for higher fee categories (Category 2, 3, etc.), while you may have applied under Category 1, where cutoffs are stricter.

Campus/Branch Preferences:

Check if they selected less popular CSE/ECE specializations (e.g., CSE with Business Systems, or ECE IoT) rather than core branches.

Incorrect Preference Order:

Sometimes, students miss out because they placed less probable branches higher in preference order.
