I have Anant Raj Ltd share @ Rs 273. What should I do?

Ans: Try with DTU/NSUT lower-to-mid branches like Mechanical/Civil/Biotech/Environmental and possibly EE/EP in favorable rounds, plus DSEU/other Delhi govt institutes as safer options. Otherwise, try with private universities located in the nearby area of Delhi.

Good luck.

Ans: Try with UIET Kurukshetra (best shot for ECE/EE), DCRUST Murthal/GJU Hisar for EE or Chemical, and lower-demand branches in Chandigarh/Punjab state counselling if available.

Good luck.

Ans: Sachin Sir, At a CRL rank of 41,000, securing a seat in DA-IICT’s regular B.Tech programs is unlikely, as recent closing ranks for ICT, MnC, and VLSI are much higher. However, the institute’s newly launched 5-year BS–MS Dual Degree programs in IT and Data Science & AI offer a more realistic alternative. These programs admit students based on JEE Main Mathematics percentile or CUET scores, not overall CRL, and since 2026 is their first admission cycle, competition may be less intense.

This 5-year, 200-credit curriculum is ideal if your son is passionate about coding, AI, data science, cybersecurity, or research-oriented tech careers—provided the fee structure and longer commitment are manageable. It’s also wise to keep several reliable backup options rather than relying solely on DA-IICT.

Ultimately, success depends less on the degree and more on how your son invests his time: honing technical and communication skills, building a professional profile through projects/internships, networking with alumni and industry experts, maintaining visibility on platforms like LinkedIn, and developing emotional intelligence to confidently navigate his career path. All the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Ans: While the IIT Madras BS in Data Science is a government-recognized, UGC-entitled degree, it is highly recommended to pursue it alongside a regular, on-campus undergraduate degree. A traditional, physical campus experience provides essential components that an online program inherently lacks: professional networking, holistic skill development, and versatility. A core campus degree (like B.Tech, B.Sc., or B.Com) combined with the IITM BS provides a powerful "hybrid" profile, showcasing both disciplinary depth and specialized technical expertise. The IITM program is specifically designed for this flexibility. Many students leverage it as a "value-add" qualification, significantly enhancing their employability by stacking high-demand data science skills onto their primary foundational degree. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Ans: Sriram Sir, you have not mentioned which Board (State/CBSE etc.) you are referring to? From which online platform did you come to know this? What your son has been doing since July 2024 till today? Please clarify these to answer precisely.

Ans: Kumar, for IIIT-Delhi CSAI, your chance is very good as a Delhi OBC-NCL candidate through JAC-Delhi. It is advisable to also participate in JoSAA/CSAB apart from having 4-5 reputed Private Engineering Colleges as backups in and around Delhi.
All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Ans: Sahadev Sir, With OBC-NCL rank around 181,452, chances through JoSAA for NITs/IIITs are almost nil, because even lower-demand branches usually close far earlier. For GFTIs, chances are also very low in JoSAA, but he should still fill maximum choices, especially lower-demand branches like Civil, Mechanical, Food/Agriculture-related branches, and less popular GFTIs. The better chance may come in CSAB Special Rounds, which fill vacant seats after JoSAA. It is also advisable to have 4-5 backups of Private Engineering Colleges apart from your son's State Counselling, instead of relying only on JoSAA/CSAB. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Ans: Most boards allow candidates to appear for a single-subject improvement in the next year (2026), but not specifically in July. Improvements are only allowed during the regular board exam cycle (Feb–Mar 2026). However, you must verify the exact year’s eligibility when forms open for your board exams, including limits on improvement attempts and timing. It is highly advisable to contact the administrative office of your college and the board office for the most recent updates.

Good luck.
