Ans: Hi Puneet
Choose NIT Trichy – Mechanical Engineering if you're passionate about core mechanical fields, value a strong academic foundation, and are interested in industries like manufacturing, automotive, or energy.

Choose NSUT Delhi – ECE if you're inclined towards electronics, communication, or software roles, and wish to leverage the advantages. The average salary here is higher than Mech at Trichy.

If you want NIT tag then go for NIT Trichy.

Ans: Hi Amit
at this rank, Vellore seems difficult. You may get Chennai or Bhopal. You can try BVP at Mumbai. As many colleges which are under Mumbai University don't have the upgraded course.

Ans: Hello;

You may shortlist health insurers based on following factors:

1. Incurred claims settlement ratio for 3 years atleast, preferable if available for 5 years.

2. List of network hospitals across the country and around the places that you generally operate. The more the better.

3. List of black listed hospitals so as to avoid them.

4. Low waiting period for pre-existing illnesses.

5. Claim settlement through TPA or directly the insurer(better). Also cashless claim settlement feature is desirable.

6. Reputation in the market.(Capital adequacy)

7. List of permanent exclusions

8. No sub limit on daily room rent.

9. Alternative therapies covered(Ayurveda, homeopathy etc).

10. Psychiatric treatments coverage.

Key is to disclose all existing conditions and conduct medical tests as requested by the insurer.

This way the chances of claim rejection are reduced.

You may also consult an insurance advisor if required, for further clarity.

Best wishes

Ans: Hello;

It is entirely your mistake therefore no point in your Mother bearing brunt for the same by suffering with the disease till health cover is back.

Pay it from your pocket. If she is above 70 then Ayushman Bharat Yojana is applicable. If she is above 60 some state govt schemes are there but you need to check with state of her domicile.

Many charitable hospitals may offer treatment/surgery discount to senior citizens above 60 age.

And please do take adequate health care cover for you parents at the earliest.

Best wishes;

Ans: In low ranked institutes you may get.

Ans: Dear Saanvi,
I would suggest not to read too much into mixed signals- one thing, you might be reading them wrong. Second, it’s possible that they are confused and hence the mixed signals. Third, without verbal confirmation, it’s best not to get your hopes high. If you need further help understanding what the signals mean, please provide a little more details.
Hope this helps

Ans: Dear Shan,
That’s a really good question. Before going to her place, try to build a mindset of understanding her, without any preconceived notion or pressure to get married. In terms of discussion, to understand emotional compatibility you can observe her behaviour- how she deals with stress, or how she might deal with conflict. Discuss daily life expectations, like what you like to do on weekends, do you enjoy occasional drinking or partying, do you enjoy spending time with friends, family gatherings, disciplined lifestyle, etc. Discuss about each other’s work life balance, expectations from in-laws and any non-negotiables. You should also discuss kids- if they want them, if you want them, and also when. Get clarity on expected living arrangements to avoid any future conflicts. These should be more than enough for a first-time meeting.
Hope these help
