What's my tax structure under the new regime with a CTC of 19 LPA?

Ans: i think its better you connect with the RTA - Kfintech for the correct answer. They will help you to dmat the shares and get you the right quantity.

Ans: Dhruba, with your CRL of 73,000, SC rank 2,659, and West Bengal as your home state, your best NIT option is NIT Durgapur. Based on recent cutoff trends, you have a good chance for NIT Durgapur in branches like CSE (though not guaranteed), Mathematics & Computing, ECE, and Electrical, especially under the home-state quota. A recommended preference order is NIT Durgapur CSE → Mathematics & Computing → ECE → Electrical → Mechanical → Chemical/Metallurgy. Also consider filling choices for NIT Patna, Jamshedpur, Silchar, Agartala, Meghalaya, and Sikkim. As backups, include IIIT Kalyani, IIIT Bhagalpur, participate in state counselling, and register for the CSAB Special Round. ALL the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Ans: Jaspal Sir, I have already answered your question. Please check.

Ans: At 77 percentile, the expected CRL is likely above 3 lakh, making admission to NITs, IIITs, or GFTIs through JoSAA highly unlikely for a Delhi General category candidate. The best practical approach is to focus on Delhi-based Counselling: You can pply for JAC Delhi for DTU, NSUT, and IGDTUW, especially as a female Delhi candidate, but manage expectations toward spot rounds or lower branches. Also consider applying for IPU B.Tech Counselling for colleges like MAIT, MSIT, BVCOE, BPIT, and GTBIT. Additionally, keep 3-4 private engineering colleges in and around Delhi as backup options rather than relying solely on JoSAA, CSAB, or JAC Delhi. ALL the BEST for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future!

Ans: Based on your son's rank, securing a regular NIT seat is possible mainly in lower-demand branches and during later JoSAA or CSAB rounds, but admission to popular branches like CSE or ECE at top NITs is unlikely. Past NIT Mechanical cutoffs indicate that some lower-tier NITs admit candidates within the 8,000–18,000 SC rank range. It is important to fill all possible JoSAA and CSAB choices, keep options open for every branch, and prioritize lower-demand NITs and GFTIs. Additionally, reviewing JoSAA opening and closing ranks from the past 2–3 years will provide valuable insights to help your son confidently select and maximize his preferred choices.

Ans: You have not mentioned your son's home state or his category either. With 70 percentile and 78% board marks, your ward can realistically target lower-demand branches like Mechanical in some state government colleges and a few GFTIs. However, admission to Mechanical branches in NITs or IIITs is generally out of reach based on recent JoSAA trends. Suitable government options include SLIET Longowal, Assam University, Mizoram University, HNB Garhwal, Gurukula Kangri, JEC Jabalpur, IET Lucknow, and BIET Jhansi, depending on category, state quota, and counselling rounds. While some newer NITs may admit candidates with higher ranks for lower-demand branches, Mechanical usually requires a much better rank than what a 70 percentile typically corresponds to. It is better to have backup options of 3-4 Private Engineering Colleges in and around your State instead of relying only on JoSAA/CSAB. ALL the BEST for Your Ward's Prosperous Future!

Ans: Abhinav, With a CRL of 2,35,615 in the General category from Maharashtra, regular JoSAA admission chances for Mechanical, Electronics, or CSE branches in GFTIs are very low. In 2025, closing ranks for accessible GFTI Mechanical branches like SGSITS Mechanical were around 47,041, and ECE branches mostly closed between 61,000 and 72,000, which are well below your rank. Nonetheless, you should register for JoSAA and the CSAB Special Round, as CSAB fills vacant seats after JoSAA. Backup options you must have include MHT-CET/CAP counselling for Maharashtra colleges and private engineering colleges in and around Maharashtra for CSE, ECE, Mechanical, and E&TC branches.

Ans: He should definitely fill JoSAA choices and consider all branches, especially lower-demand engineering branches in GFTIs. Additionally, he should explore home-state government colleges through state counselling and actively participate in CSAB rounds to maximize admission opportunities. If possible, have 3-4 Private Engineering Colleges in and around your State also as backups. ALL the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Ans: With a CRL of 607,933, admission to CSE or other high-demand branches in any NIT or IIIT is not realistically possible. Instead, focus on state counselling and private colleges in and around your state, or consider lower-demand branches in GFTIs if category or quota benefits apply. Your son can still participate in JoSAA and CSAB by filling the maximum number of preferred choices, but ensure these choices are near-realistic to improve chances.
