Dear Sir, what is the difference between new and old tax regime as per new budget announced? What are the benefits? My annual salary is 10LPA

Ans: Hi
The difference between the old and new tax regime is that many deductions and exemptions are not available if an individual opts for the new tax regime.

Standard deduction, PT deduction, Mediclaim, Life Insurance, PF, NPS, Donations etc., are some of the common deductions that would not have been available to an individual opting for the new tax regime. The benefit that the individual would get by opting the new tax regime is that she / he would get lower rates of tax slab as compared to an individual opting for old tax regime.

With the new budget proposals, the FM intends to extend atleast 3 distinct benefits to individuals opting for the new tax regime.

1. Standard deduction would be available to be claimed
2. Slab rates of tax has been rationalized (improved) to give better tax relief to the individual
3. Individuals opting for new tax regime have got enhanced Nil tax window of Rs. 7 Lakhs as compared to old tax regime limit of Rs. 5 Lakhs. As your income even after the standard deduction would be above Rs. 7 Lakhs, this benefit is not really applicable to you.

If we look at an income of Rs. 10 Lakhs with standard deduction of Rs. 50000; you would pay Rs. 52,500 under the new tax regime (current budget proposal) as compared to Rs. 67,500 under the new tax regime (last year budget). So effectively comparing apple to apple, you have an additional saving of Rs. 15,000 in taxes

Good evening sir my daughter got very low percentile in jee mains (50 )and 71% in cbse class 12 . She wants to pursue btech cse which private would be best within budget of 10-12 lakhs, her home state is madhya pradesh & lives in gurgaon
Ans: Good Morning! In selecting private B.Tech CSE colleges within a ?10–12 lakh budget, five critical factors must be evaluated: faculty expertise and industry ties, modern CSE labs and computing infrastructure, strong industry partnerships with internship pathways, NBA/NAAC/AICTE accreditation, and consistent placement performance. In Madhya Pradesh, top choices include LNCT University Bhopal (85% placement), Technocrats Institute of Technology Bhopal (82% UG placement), Sagar Institute of Science and Technology Bhopal (70% placement), RKDF University Bhopal, Truba Group of Institutes Bhopal, Acropolis Institute of Technology Indore (70–80% placement), Medi-Caps University Indore, Oriental University Indore, SAGE University Indore, and Gyan Ganga College of Excellence Jabalpur. In Gurgaon/NCR, recommended options are Amity University Noida, Galgotias University Greater Noida, Jaypee Institute of Information Technology Noida (91.47% CSE placement), SRM Institute of Science & Technology (Ghaziabad campus), SRM University Sonepat, Manav Rachna University Faridabad, Sushant University Gurgaon, GD Goenka University Gurgaon, Lingaya’s Vidyapeeth Faridabad, and Sharda University Greater Noida.

recommendation: Prioritize LNCT University Bhopal or Technocrats Institute of Technology Bhopal for strong MP-based CSE education with proven 80%+ placements; consider JIIT Noida or Amity University Noida as top NCR alternatives offering 90%+ CSE placement consistency; keep Acropolis Indore and Galgotias University as cost-effective backups with robust industry partnerships and accreditation. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Sir I have obc rank 1104 in jee advanced. Iam getting iit ropar cse In both round. I want iit indore mnc having closing rank 941 in round 2. I have more chance of getting Iit guwahati electronic and electrical engineering and iit Hyderabad electrical engineering having closing rank 976 and 996. Should I take risk for desired branch in round 6
Ans: With an OBC-NCL rank of 1104, IIT Ropar CSE is a confirmed seat (closing rank 1154) offering 87.95% average placement over three years, strong faculty engagement, modern labs, robust industry partnerships, NBA accreditation, and active research culture . IIT Indore Mathematics & Computing (closing rank 941) delivers 90% placement, interdisciplinary curriculum, advanced computational and mathematics labs, international collaborations, and UoE status, but your rank exceeds its cutoff, making admission unlikely . IIT Guwahati EEE (closing rank 2066) features 84% placement, specialized high-voltage and core electronics facilities, experienced faculty, NIRF-ranked labs, and strong PSU and tech recruiter ties . IIT Hyderabad EE (closing rank 1781) provides 75% placement, cutting-edge power electronics and IC design labs, multidisciplinary research, international MoUs, and NAAC A++ accreditation .

Recommendation: Do not risk IIT Indore M&C as your rank falls outside its cutoff; accept IIT Ropar CSE for guaranteed admission and high placement, or upgrade to IIT Guwahati EEE or IIT Hyderabad EE in Round 6 if branch preference for core electronics outweighs the certainty of the Ropar CSE seat. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
