Ans: Hello dear.
With the mentioned details. It is unlikely your daughter will get a seat in the top IISERs, but she may get a seat in newer IISERs in later rounds.
Best of luck.

Ans: Hello dear.
It's very unlikely to get CSE or ECE in JoSAA rounds at NITs, IIITs, or GFTIs. However, in CSAB special rounds, you might get lower-ranked GFTIs or new IIITs with ECE, but CSE is still tough. Keep other options open as a backup.
Best of luck.

Ans: Hello Shubha,
To choose between the two, your hometown location is more important. Both options are strong. I recommend choosing whichever is nearer to your hometown. Yet to suggest, prefer DS @ NMISS if possible.
Best of luck.

Ans: Hello Dipesh
(1) Read newspapers daily – Focus on sources like The Hindu, Indian Express, or similar for current affairs.
(2) Follow monthly current affairs magazines – Use reliable sources such as Pratiyogita Darpan, Vision IAS, or Manorama Yearbook.
(3) Use GK apps and websites
(4) Study NCERT books – For static GK (History, Geography, Polity, etc.), read Class 6–12 NCERTs.
(5) Make short notes – Write down important facts, events, and dates for quick revision.
(6) Revise regularly – Allocate time weekly to review what you've learned.
(7) Practice mock tests – Take full-length GK tests to improve speed and accuracy.
And a lot more from your side... You can do to crack the examination.
Best of luck.

Ans: Both CMR Institute of Technology (CMRIT) and New Horizon College of Engineering (NHCE) are reputable engineering colleges in Bangalore, offering good academic programs and placement opportunities. CMRIT generally is considered to have better placement opportunities and a higher median salary for B.Tech graduates. However, NHCE has a strong reputation for its Computer Science program and is also well-regarded for its innovation and entrepreneurship initiatives. Ultimately, the "better" college depends on individual priorities and preferences.

Ans: Hello dear. Reconsider the idea of taking a year off. Choose your preferred private college and gain admission to CSE through the management quota to save a year. The final decision is yours.
Best of luck.
