I lost 6 lakhs in share trading,, shall i reduce this amount from my overall income to get net income for ITR purpose.

Ans: There are many kinds of stock trading and depending on what exactly did you do, your tax liability will be calculated including whether your loss can be set off against anything else.

In general, you cannot set off your loss against your income in the way you have written. Please consult an income tax expert, a CA or a financial planner.

Namaskar. Sir please suggest newton school banglore ( gives certificate to S vyasa) & Dayanand sagar university, Dsce banglore csc placement wise please.
Ans: Newton School (Bengaluru, via S-VYASA / Rishihood University)
• Offers an industry-focused B.Tech in CS & AI, recognized by UGC/AICTE, and grants alumni status from both Newton School and Rishihood University
• Placement performance is strong:
o Up to 98% placement rate
o Over 2,500 students placed with hiring partners like Google, Amazon, Razorpay, McKinsey
o Average packages around ?12 LPA, sometimes higher
o For internships, 93% students got offers in 2nd year, averaging ?25,000/month, with top stipends up to ?50,000/month; some even ~?1.25 L/month at Google
Excellent placements and real-world exposure. Strong choice if you're keen on careers in software, AI, data—and flexible later for higher studies or government roles.
Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering (DSCE), Bengaluru
• Has a dedicated placement division with solid support—mock interviews, soft-skill training, etc.
• Placement stats:
o Highest packages range between ?52–56 LPA
o Average placements around ?6–6.5 LPA
o ~55–80% of students get placed
• Specifically for DSU (Dayananda Sagar University):
o In 2024, highest package: ?35 LPA, total offers: 419, with 450+ companies visiting, and several “dream” and international offers
Good options, especially if you're targeting higher packages. But overall placement percentage is lower than Newton, so some students may need to work harder to grab top offers.
