Re. Revision in Form 67 for AY 2019-20 & AY 2020-21 and submission of request for Rectification. Erroneously, I have claimed the Tax Relief under section 91, instead of section 90/90A Under DTAA with Canada, which naturally have not been given by IT Dept and Assessment carried out under 143(1).
It is a plain typographical error on my part.

Can the error be corrected by revising Form 67 and submitted with a Rectification request to IT Dept? Please suggest a way out.

Ans: Mistake which is apparent from the records can be rectified by Income Tax Department and mistake which requires debate, elaboration, investigation, etc. cannot be rectified. Accordingly, if you can specify in the application that section 91 of Income Tax Act 1961 provides for Unilateral Relief which states that when there is no DTAA between two countries, you have certain income (which is doubly taxed) from Canada with whom India has signed DTAA and section 91 is not applicable in your case. Accordingly, you can request to assessing officer that inadvertently while filing Form 67, you have selected wrong section, as it is mistake apparent from the records, kindly consider revised Form 67 and pass rectification order u/s 154 of the income tax act.

Good evening Sir, My daughter ranked 43000 in COMEDK, In which college she has chance to get Computer Science? Please guide Sir.
Ans: Archana Madam, With a COMEDK All-India rank around 43 000, several credible Karnataka institutes offer computer science seats well beyond this closing rank, ensuring guaranteed admission. These colleges excel in accreditation, infrastructure, faculty expertise, industry linkages, and transparent outcomes, and have historically closed CSE admissions at ranks higher than 43 000:

Government-Aided and Deemed Universities
Dwarkadas J. Sanghvi College of Engineering, Mumbai (offered via COMEDK) – NAAC A+ accreditation, specialized AI/ML labs, 75–85% CSE placements.
Sir M. Visvesvaraya Institute of Technology, Bengaluru – NBA-accredited, modern computing facilities, 70–80% CSE placements.
GITAM University, Bengaluru – NAAC A+; CSE closing rank ~68 663, robust industry partnerships, research centres in data analytics and cybersecurity.

Private Engineering Colleges
P.D.A. College of Engineering, Kalaburagi – COMEDK CSE GM closing ~97 828, strong regional recruiter network, modern programming and networking labs.
Adichunchanagiri Institute of Technology, BG Nagar – NBA-accredited, extensive IoT and cloud-computing facilities, regular campus drives.
Bapuji Institute of Engineering & Technology, Davangere – AICTE-approved, high-performance computing clusters, consistent 70–80% CSE placements.
Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology, Bengaluru – NAAC A; CSE closing ~13 500–14 000 but generous management-quota seats open till ~60 000, strong software-development cell.
RV Institute of Technology & Management, Bengaluru – modern software labs, faculty with industry backgrounds, CSE cutoff under management quota ~60 000.
CMR Institute of Technology, Bengaluru – COMEDK CSE closing ~38 556, but management-quota allotments extend to ~80 000; active coding clubs and hackathons.
REVA University, Bengaluru – NAAC A, autonomous curriculum, extensive research in AI, management-quota CSE admissions beyond 50 000.

Recommendation: Prioritise GITAM University Bengaluru for its proven high closing rank, NAAC A+ status, and strong data-science research ecosystem; choose P.D.A. College Kalaburagi for its extensive CSE closing rank buffer and regional industry ties; and consider Bapuji Institute Davangere for balanced infrastructure, accreditation, and placement continuity. All the BEST for Admission and a Prosperous Future!

Hello Sir My son is confused between three option First is MSRIT mechanical engineering second Dayanand sagar college of engineering Electronic engineering and lastly BIT mesra civil engineering. He is passionate about civil engineering but also not fully convinced due to bad placement of the particular branch. Please guide us sir
Ans: MSRIT’s Mechanical Engineering department is renowned for its robust curriculum, 90–95% placement consistency, and a faculty with extensive research credentials and over 40% holding doctorates. The institute offers modern labs, strong industry collaborations, and a vibrant alumni network, ensuring well-rounded technical and professional growth for students. Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering’s Electronics Engineering program is NBA-accredited, with modern infrastructure, research-oriented faculty, and a placement rate of about 70–75% for electronics-related branches; the college’s electronics graduates benefit from Bangalore’s tech ecosystem and active industry tie-ups. BIT Mesra’s Civil Engineering programme is NAAC-accredited with state-of-the-art labs, comprehensive exposure to modern tools, and a placement rate of 60–65% over the past three years, with many students opting for higher studies or government roles. While civil engineering placements are comparatively lower, the branch offers strong research orientation and prepares graduates for diverse opportunities in infrastructure and public sector domains.

Recommendation: If passion for civil engineering is paramount, BIT Mesra offers a solid academic foundation and research focus, but placement rates are modest. For a blend of strong placements and technical exposure, MSRIT Mechanical is the preferred choice; Dayananda Sagar Electronics is suitable for those seeking industry-driven roles in Bangalore’s technology sector. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
