My boyfriend did not tell me that he met his ex at a wedding. I found out through pictures posted by a mutual friend. When I asked him, he said he didn’t want to upset me. But they were laughing and chilling at the wedding. Honestly, I feel betrayed, like he was cheating on me. If he was innocent, and there was nothing going on between them, why did he hide it? I am not able to trust him since I found out and it is bothering me.

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I would urge you to understand why your parents are opposing. Is it because you are cousins or do they believe you can do much better? Once you understand their actual concern, you can slowly attempt to address them instead of trying to solve this with just emotions. In the process, you will also understand whether their concerns are valid or just opposition to your relationship.

Hope this helps

Ans: Based on your MHT-CET percentile, Maharashtra candidature, OBC category and female candidature, you can consider the following colleges for ACAP/Institute-Level or Spot Round opportunities, depending on the vacancies available: A) Dream – Apply, but don’t depend much on these: 1) PCCOE, Ravet – CSE/AI-DS; 2) AISSMS IOIT, Pune – IT/E&TC; 3) MMCOE, Karvenagar – AI-DS/E&TC; 4) MIT Academy of Engineering, Alandi – CSE/IT; 5) JSPM RSCOE, Tathawade – E&TC/other technology branches. At 85 percentile, these should be treated as aspirational options, with ACAP/spot vacancies determining the actual opportunity.

B) Target – Best ACAP/Spot opportunities: Dr. D. Y. Patil Institute of Technology, Pimpri-Akurdi – AI-DS/E&TC; 7) Dr. D. Y. Patil Technical Campus, Talegaon – CSE/AI-DS; 8) Dhole Patil College of Engineering, Pune – IT; 9) Zeal College of Engineering & Research, Pune – AI-DS/IT; 10) Sinhgad College of Engineering, Vadgaon – IT; 11) D. Y. Patil College of Engineering, Lohegaon – AI-DS/E&TC. This should be the primary focus because these options provide a more realistic balance between college quality, technology branches and the possibility of ACAP/spot vacancies.

C) Safe – Keep as strong backups
JSPM Narhe Technical Campus – CSE/IT/AI-DS; 13) RMD Sinhgad School of Engineering – IT/AI-DS; 14) Pillai College of Engineering, New Panvel – IT/Computer; 15) Terna Engineering College, Navi Mumbai – IT/Computer; 16) SIES Graduate School of Technology, Navi Mumbai – IT/Computer. These should be maintained as practical backup choices if preferred Pune options do not materialise.

Recommended preference order: 1) DYP Talegaon CSE, 2) Dhole Patil IT, 3) Zeal AI-DS, 4) Sinhgad IT, 5) DYP Akurdi AI-DS/E&TC, 6) AISSMS IOIT E&TC, 7) PCCOE-R AI-DS, 8) JSPM Narhe CSE/IT, 9) RMD Sinhgad IT, and 10) DYP Lohegaon AI-DS/E&TC. ACAP/Institute-Level vacancies are dynamic, so these are targets rather than guaranteed admissions; Maharashtra CET Cell requires institute-level admissions to follow the prescribed admission rules and merit process. All The Best for Your Prosperous Future!

Ans: Continue with ESIC Coimbatore over Thoothukudi in Round 2 if you genuinely prefer it; Round 2 allows you to upgrade, while Thoothukudi remains your current allotment if you follow the applicable rules.

Good luck.

Ans: Go for the better college as it may help in the long run as long as that Rs. 6 lakhs does not bore a big hole in your pocket. If it does then choose GL Bajaj

Ans: Hello!!

I completely understand your concern. With 21 years of experience, having the required skills, and matching the job requirements, it can certainly be frustrating when the market doesn’t seem to value your profile in the way you expect.

However, I would first like to understand what exactly you are looking for help with. Are you looking for guidance on:

• How to position yourself better in the job market after a career break?
• How to make your resume/profile more attractive for senior-level roles?
• How to improve your interview performance?
• How to leverage your network and referrals more effectively?
• Or how to deal with the challenges of re-entering the market after a career break?

Your experience is certainly an asset, but at the senior level, how that experience is positioned and communicated can be as important as the experience itself.

If you tell me a little more about where you feel the process is breaking down—getting shortlisted, getting interviews, or converting interviews into offers—I can guide you much more specifically.

Also, be clear about what you want, the ways and means will follow!!

Ans: HI PRADEEP,
GREETINGS FROM THE REDIFFGURUS!

Since you have the option to attend BMS College of Engineering (BMSCE) through the government quota, you should definitely explore the possibility of upgrading your choice. Based on your credentials, you may have opportunities available to you.

In terms of preferences, you might consider listing RV College of Engineering (RVCE) as your first choice and PES University, RR Campus (PES RR), as your second choice. This ranking could indicate which institution is perceived as top-tier.

Good luck with your decision!

Ans: Hi,
GREETINGS FROM THE REDIFFGURUS!

Pursuing a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) is a significant step, and it’s important to consider a few key factors when choosing an institution for your studies:

1. Lab Facilities: Evaluate the quality of the lab facilities. A good flow of patients can provide a better understanding of practical applications.

2. Faculty Availability: Check for experienced faculty members and their retention rates, as these are critical for your learning experience.

3. Location: Consider whether the institution is close to the city or town. Proximity can lead to a higher inflow of patients, which is essential for practical training. Sometimes, students may need to bring patients with them for exams, so a steady flow of patients is essential.

Visit the websites of the institutions to gather more information about patient flow and facilities.

ALL THE BEST.
