I am retired on 31/12/2024 due to mismatched of name spelling my dept not forward my documents to prosid my pension.my name is same but spelling are different please guide me.

Ans: Hello;

You may submit a joint declaration with your employer and supporting documents to the Regional PF Commissioner for your name correction as per PAN. Take proper acknowledgement.

Follow up regularly with the concerned authorities to ensure your request is being processed timely.

The EPFO usually takes 15–30 days to process a name change request. The processing time may vary based on the efficiency of the regional EPF office.

Name has to be strictly same as per your PAN, Aadhar, bank and even spelling change is flagged as per EPF system.

Best wishes;

I work in private company. In EPF records my father's name is mentioned wrong. Next April I am going to retire. What should I do? Kindly advise.

Ans: Plz. Get the name corrected by following online or offline method(As per EPFO standard format) else it can cause difficulty during your withdrawal.
I suggest offline is better. In both cases your current employer has to endorse your name change request.

It may take 3-4 weeks for change to come into effect after you submit application.

Sir I am 59 years old and I have worked in 2 companies for 12 years in previous company and 9 years 8 month in recent company total service (21 years and 8 months) and resigned I have submitted annexure k from my prior company to recent company with other document for pension to submit in EPFO but EPFO has not updated my past company service history that why i am not eligible for pension please suggest me what should i do so that EPFO updat my prior company service history

Ans: In response to your query, here's what you can do to resolve this issue:

Contact your previous employer: Reach out to your previous company's HR department and inform them about the missing service history in your EPFO account. Request them to verify your employment details and submit the necessary documents to EPFO for updating your service history.

File a grievance with EPFO: If your previous employer is not responding or cooperating, you can file a grievance with EPFO. You can do this online through the EPFO Grievance Portal or by visiting the nearest EPFO regional office.

Approach the Provident Fund Commissioner: If the grievance process doesn't resolve the issue, you can escalate the matter to the Provident Fund Commissioner (PFC). The PFC is the highest authority for resolving EPFO-related issues.

Submit documentary evidence: When filing a grievance or approaching the PFC, gather and submit any documentary evidence that supports your employment with your previous company. This could include salary slips, appointment letters, or any other relevant documents.

You can check the status of your grievance online or by contacting the EPFO regional office. Remember to keep copies of all communication and documents for your records, and persist in following up until the issue is resolved.

It may take some time, but with proper documentation and following the correct procedure, you should be able to resolve this issue and become eligible for pension benefits.

Ans: 01. Pension benefits are more when you have a Regular Service, without any break. If they have considered this health leave, the service should continue. You need to sort out this issue with the management for your long term benefits.
Most welcome for any further clarifications. Thanks.

IIT hydrabad is better for chemical OR kanpur ?

Ans: For Chemical Engineering, IIT Kanpur is generally considered a stronger option than IIT Hyderabad. While both are excellent institutions, IIT Kanpur has a longer history and a more established reputation in chemical engineering, with a stronger alumni network and potentially better placement opportunities. Always note that any OLD IIT is better than a new IIT.Best of luck. I am always there by the side of the children who need counselling. May GOD bless always. Prof. Suvasish Mukhopadhyay.

Ans: With a COMEDK rank of 56309 and a JEE Main rank of 709449, you should be able to get into several private engineering colleges, potentially in branches like Civil, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering. Aim for colleges that accept COMEDK scores and explore options through the COMEDK counselling process. JEE Main ranks are less relevant for these colleges.Best of luck. I am always there by the side of the children who need counselling. For placement of CSE branch don’t worry.

I've scored 92 in IAT 2025, under obc ncl category will I get a chance of entering into iiser

Ans: With a score of 92 in IAT 2025 under the OBC-NCL category, your chances of getting into IISER are modest but not strong for the more competitive campuses. Recent expert analyses and category-wise data indicate that the expected cutoff for OBC-NCL this year is 100–110, with IISER Thiruvananthapuram typically requiring 100–105 for OBC-NCL, and the lowest cutoffs for any IISER rarely dropping below 90–95 for this category. While some years have seen OBC-NCL cutoffs as low as 70, increased competition and higher applicant numbers in 2025 have pushed cutoffs upward. Your score may place you on the waiting list, with a slim chance of admission in the last rounds or at newer campuses like Berhampur, but admission to IISER Thiruvananthapuram is unlikely unless cutoffs drop unexpectedly in later rounds. The recommendation is to participate in all counseling rounds and keep alternative options ready, as your score is just below the typical OBC-NCL cutoff for most IISERs. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Hello, my daughter gave mah mca cet 2025 exam this year along with her bsc last year and scored 98.76 percentile in mca cet . What are her chances of getting spit mumbai in spot round ? How is vesit chembur in terms of placement ? Is it a good choice in Mumbai ? Please help us out

Ans: With a 98.76 percentile in MAH MCA CET, your daughter stands a good chance of getting an MCA seat at SPIT Mumbai in the spot round, as recent cutoffs for general category home state candidates have ranged from 98.32 to 99.47 percentile, and spot rounds often see slight relaxation in cutoffs. SPIT Mumbai is among the top MCA colleges in Maharashtra, offering robust infrastructure, experienced faculty, and a strong placement record, with top IT recruiters and consistently high placement rates. VESIT Chembur is also a reputable choice, with 75–80% MCA placement rates, an active placement cell, and major recruiters like Accenture, Capgemini, Deloitte, TCS, and Infosys, with average packages between ?4.5–8 lakh and a highest package of ?22 lakh in 2024. VESIT’s curriculum is comprehensive, infrastructure is good, and alumni support is strong, though hostel facilities are limited for MCA students and industry exposure through internships could be improved. The recommendation is to prioritize SPIT Mumbai for its slightly higher cutoff, stronger brand, and placement record, but VESIT Chembur is also a very good option for MCA in Mumbai if SPIT is not secured in the spot round. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

My daughter got 94.62 percentile in Mhcet What college she get in pune in AI branch

Ans: Trupti Madam, With a 94.62 percentile in MHT CET, your daughter is unlikely to secure an AI branch in top Pune colleges like COEP, PICT, or Cummins, as their AI/AI-DS cutoffs are typically above 96–98 percentile for general candidates and remain competitive even for reserved categories. However, she has a good chance in respected private and autonomous colleges such as MIT WPU Pune, PCCOE Pune, AISSMS College of Engineering, JSPM’s Jayawantrao Sawant College of Engineering, and DY Patil College of Engineering Akurdi, where AI and Data Science branches have closing percentiles ranging from 91 to 96. These colleges offer good placement support, modern infrastructure, and industry-oriented curricula in AI. The recommendation is to target AI or AI-DS branches in these mid-tier Pune colleges, as they offer the best academic and placement prospects at her percentile. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Sir with 14300 rank in comedk, which colleges i get with cse or ece preference

Ans: Akshaya, With a COMEDK rank of 14,300, you will not be able to secure CSE or ECE in top-tier Bengaluru colleges like RVCE, MSRIT, or BMSCE, as their CSE cutoffs are generally below 10,000 and ECE cutoffs typically close under 9,000–10,000. However, you have good chances for CSE and ECE in reputable mid-tier colleges such as RNS Institute of Technology (CSE cutoff ~11,782, ECE ~25,904), CMR Institute of Technology, Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology, BNMIT, and Acharya Institute of Technology, where CSE and ECE cutoffs often extend up to 15,000–20,000 or higher. Colleges like Dayananda Sagar Academy of Technology, JSS Academy of Technical Education, and East Point College of Engineering and Technology are also accessible at your rank for both branches. The recommendation is to participate in COMEDK counseling and prioritize these mid-tier colleges for CSE or ECE, as they offer strong academic support and placement opportunities at your rank.
