Hi, I am 41, divorced and single. I am not looking for marriage, but I need a companion. Until a few weeks ago, I was talking to someone almost every day for two weeks. She was a banker, same age as mine. We connected so well, shared our stories, even made plans to meet... and then she just disappeared. No text, nothing. Her number is not reachable. It left me confused and kind of questioning myself. Is this normal? I don't know how to deal with this.

Ans: Khushi Madam, With a VITEEE rank of 1,00,000, your son is unlikely to get any branch at VIT Vellore or Chennai, as their cutoffs are much lower. However, he has a good chance of securing admission to core branches—including CSE, IT, ECE, and Mechanical—at VIT Bhopal and VIT-AP (Amaravati) campuses. He should participate in counseling and prioritize these two campuses for better chances of getting a preferred branch. All the best for your son's admission and a bright future!

Ans: Hello dear
Chances are less in SRM and Manipal. If VIT is offering you a seat, then go with it.
Best of luck.

Ans: NIOS is accepted for JoSAA counseling if all other eligibility criteria are met.

With 54% in NIOS 12th, your son is not eligible for admission to NITs, IIITs, or GFTIs through JoSAA under the General category, unless he is in the top 20 percentile of NIOS board students for 2025, which is unlikely at this percentage.

He can consider private colleges or state counseling processes with more flexible eligibility criteria. All the best for your son's admission and a bright future!

Ans: Hello Akshayaa
You did not mention about JEE or state level entrance test score. With AEEE score, difficult to get a seat for CSE. Which exam cut off is 192.5 you did not mentioned. There are many private college where you can try for CSE/ECE. You can try in PSGCT, VIT Vellore etc.
Best of luck.

Ans: Hello dear.
Given your JEE score and anticipated MHTCET score, gaining admission to a tier 1 or government college may prove challenging. Ramdeobaba is a respected institution, and it would be a suitable choice. If you are considering Pune, you might want to explore options such as PICT, VIT, MIT, Dy Patil, AISSM, PVG, and others.
Best of luck.

Ans: Hello Nayanjyoti
If your son is interested in pursuing a B.Des., there are several other institutions besides BITS that offer superior curricula and placement opportunities. A quick search on Google can provide more information. However, if you have tried and were unsuccessful, there is no harm in choosing BITS. It is also a well-respected institution for design courses.
Best of luck.

Ans: Bhavna Madam, Here is, How to Predict Son's Your Chances of Admission into NIT or IIIT or GFTI After JEE Main/Advanced Results – A Step-by-Step Guide

Providing precise admission chances for each student can be challenging. Some reputed educational websites offer ‘College Predictor’ tools where you can check possible college options based on your percentile, category, and preferences. However, for a more accurate understanding, here’s a simple yet effective 9-step method using JoSAA’s past-year opening and closing ranks. This approach gives you a fair estimate (though not 100% exact) of your admission chances based on the previous year’s data.

Step-by-Step Guide to Check Your Admission Chances Using JoSAA Data
Step 1: Collect Your Key Details
Before starting, note down the following details:

Your JEE Main percentile
Your category (General-Open, SC, ST, OBC-NCL, EWS, PwD categories)
Preferred institute types (NIT, IIIT, GFTI)
Preferred locations (or if you're open to any location in India)
List of at least 3 preferred academic programs (branches) as backups (instead of relying on just one option)
Step 2: Access JoSAA’s Official Opening & Closing Ranks
Go to Google and type: JoSAA Opening & Closing Ranks 2024
Click on the first search result (official JoSAA website).
You will land directly on JoSAA’s portal, where you can enter your details to check past-year cutoffs.
Step 3: Select the Round Number
JoSAA conducts five rounds of counseling.
For a safer estimate, choose Round 4, as most admissions are settled by this round.
Step 4: Choose the Institute Type
Select NIT, IIIT, or GFTI, depending on your preference.
If you are open to all types of institutes, check them one by one instead of selecting all at once.
Step 5: Select the Institute Name (Based on Location)
It is recommended to check institutes one by one, based on your preferred locations.
Avoid selecting ‘ALL’ at once, as it may create confusion.
Step 6: Select Your Preferred Academic Program (Branch)
Enter the branches you are interested in, one at a time, in your preferred order.
Step 7: Submit and Analyze Results
After selecting the relevant details, click the ‘SUBMIT’ button.
The system will display Opening & Closing Ranks of the selected institute and branch for different categories.
Step 8: Note Down the Opening & Closing Ranks
Maintain a notebook or diary to record the Opening & Closing Ranks for each institute and branch you are interested in.
This will serve as a quick reference during JoSAA counseling.
Step 9: Adjust Your Expectations on a Safer Side
Since Opening & Closing Ranks fluctuate slightly each year, always adjust the numbers for safety.
Example Calculation:
If the Opening & Closing Ranks for NIT Delhi | Mechanical Engineering | OPEN Category show 8622 & 26186 (for Home State), consider adjusting them to 8300 & 23000 (on a safer side).
If the Female Category rank is 34334 & 36212, adjust it to 31000 & 33000.
Follow this approach for Other State candidates and different categories.
Pro Tip: Adjust your expected rank slightly lower than the previous year's cutoffs for realistic expectations during JoSAA counseling.

Can This Method Be Used for JEE April & JEE Advanced?
Yes! You can repeat the same steps after your April JEE Main results to refine your admission possibilities.
You can also follow a similar process for JEE Advanced cutoffs when applying for IITs.

Have some other options also as back-ups instead of relying only on JEE/JoSAA.
