ICICI Prudential commodities Fund direct growth (Rs500) 4. Nippon india small cap fund direct growth (Rs500) 5. Quant Small cap fund direct plan growth (Rs1000) I would like to know whether its good to invest in these MFs for longer period 15-20 years. I'll add another 3-4K in the future but for now it'll be the same. Please guide me as I have low budget

Ans: You can take admission via CUET. Its eligibility is around 50% in Class 12, but admission depends on the specific course’s cutoff and entrance performance.

Good luck.

Ans: Chances with top NITs are nil. You have borderline chances with newer/lower NITs, and even then only with lower-demand branches. Keep other option in backup.

Good luck.

Ans: Yes for JEE (Mains). But JEE Advanced eligibility is strict and depends on the year of your first Class 12 pass, plus official rules for that session. i..e you will not be eligible for JEE (Adv)

Ans: Chances with top NIts are nil. But a few lower-demand branches in lower/newer NITs may be possible only in late CSAB/special rounds if cutoffs stretch unusually.

Good luck.

Ans: HI HASEENA,
GREETINGS FROM THE REDIFFGURUS!
It is possible to secure a seat in ECE or EEE at mid-tier NITs or IIITs, or in CSE at newer IIITs or GFTIs, particularly in the later rounds of JoSAA or CSAB counselling. So actively participate in the counselling process until you achieve your goal
BEST WISHES.

Ans: HI SIR,
GREETINGS FROM THE REDIFFGURUS!
Considering your daughter's rank, she has potential opportunities in lower-tier NITs, newer IIITs, or home-state GFTIs, especially during the JoSAA or CSAB rounds. Since you are from Telangana, less competitive branches such as Biotechnology (BT) and Metallurgical Engineering (Met) Chemical Engg may only be available during special rounds. Encourage her to actively participate in the counseling process to secure the best possible options.
Best of luck!

Ans: Chances are slim with top NITs, but she has a moderate/lower chance in lower NITs.

Good luck.

Ans: Based on your son's score, chances of admission to NIT Trichy CSE/ECE are extremely low, and even lower branches may be difficult due to the high cutoffs at NIT Trichy. Admission to IIITs for CSE/ECE through regular JoSAA rounds is also challenging, but it is advisable to try CSAB Special Round for newer IIITs and GFTIs. Consider options like IIIT Agartala, IIIT Manipur, IIIT Kalyani, IIIT Bhagalpur, IIIT Ranchi, Assam University, Gurukula Kangri, and BIT Mesra off-campuses, provided you and your son are mentally prepared for these campuses. Additionally, it is recommended to have 5–6 backup options in reputed private engineering colleges apart from participating in TNEA counselling, such as SSN, SNU, Sastra, Amrita, VIT, Sathyabhama, Saveetha and also some other reputed Private Engineering Colleges based on your/son's preferred locations within Tamil Nadu, instead of relying only on JoSAA. ALL the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Ans: IIT is not possible unless she qualifies strongly in JEE Advanced, but she may have a chance at lower/core branches in some NITs and possibly newer/lower-demand branches, depending on her category rank and counselling trends. Chances with NIT-Trichy are very slim.

Good luck.
