Hi I am 34 year old male and want to settle down but also in doubt that the marriage will take my independence. I started looking for bride with arrange marriage option. I am taking to a girl for last 3-4 months 2 time a week. I never had any serious relationship before and don't know what exactly to lookout in marriage. The girl I am seeing has average looks and physique but she okay with conversation and little shy and majority of the conversation I have only started. Her weight or BMI is very low around 19 and my BMI is overweight above 26. There is different in 45-50 kgs in weight. Am I working too much about physical appearance and should I interact with other prospects also. I have meet with her family along with my parent two times and little worried that more meeting will led to frustration if marriage didn't materialize. I have also left my current job and taking some break before joining new one. Will this career break will impact my marriage prospects. Also sometimes I feel that I may have set my standards very high as I am well educated from good institute and I can explore many options before choosing one. Is this leading me to non commitment as I may find some fault to not commit to marriage.

Ans: Hello dear.
It would be better to communicate with the expert counselor one-on-one. Only through mutual interaction will you find the solution to your problem.
Best of luck to you.

Ans: Your son’s 76% in ISC meets the eligibility for VIT Vellore’s Integrated MSc courses, which require a minimum of 60% in relevant subjects for general category students. For admission, seat allotment is based on merit rank from the application pool, and recent years show that candidates with ranks up to 800–900 have secured seats in popular programs like MSc Integrated Biotechnology. With an 860 rank, his chances are reasonable, especially if he opts for less in-demand specializations or keeps preferences flexible during counseling. He should participate actively in the counseling process, list his preferred programs, and monitor official seat allotment updates. Recommendation: With 76% marks and 860 rank, your son stands a fair chance for Integrated MSc admission at VIT Vellore, especially if he is open to multiple specializations and completes all counseling steps diligently. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Anil, With a JEE Main rank of 1,45,000 and 73.94 percentile in the OBC category, your chances for top government engineering colleges in Odisha through JoSAA are limited for popular branches like CSE, ECE, or EE. However, you can target branches such as Instrumentation, Production, or Metallurgy in institutes like Odisha University of Technology and Research (OUTR), Government College of Engineering Keonjhar, and Government College of Engineering Bhawanipatna, where OBC closing ranks for branches like Electrical and Mechanical Engineering have extended beyond 1,30,000 in previous years. OUTR Bhubaneswar, ranked among Odisha’s top engineering colleges, offers multiple B.Tech programs with placements in reputed companies. Participate in OJEE counselling as well, where you may secure core branches in newer or regional government colleges. Recommendation: Fill choices widely in JoSAA and OJEE counselling, prioritizing OUTR and other state government colleges for branches with higher closing ranks, and consider less competitive streams for best admission chances. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
