I am feeling guilty for copying in my state entrance exam and getting good rank , I feel I don't worth that , I fear I may leave that college , i already copied in my 10 th exam and got good college then I left it idk why , i am getting very bad intrusive thoughts , I feel very stressed rn pls help me

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
It's great that you are aware of why you feel the way that you feel...Since you have understood and feel bad for cheating, I am sure that this will direct you towards actually studying and writing exams. So, manage your thoughts by now putting down a plan and schedule study times with a goal at the end.
Surround yourself with people who have strong academic goals and know how to reach them; that will help you focus better.
So, rather than worrying over what has happened, think of how to direct your thoughts towards goals.

All the best!

I am jee aspirant and couldn't clear it . I was sure that in 2nd attempt i will do it for sure but when I saw the results they broke my courage. I convinced my self its ok u have many other options but after seeing my cbse 12th results its hard that there is any option left for me. I thought for bits pilani but I am not getting aggregate above than 75% . Now , I have no courage to start again . I am depressed what should I should do. There isn't any single day that I am not scolded for my marks and mistakes . Even now my parents aren't that much supportive like they were . It feels like just because u can't clear ur entrance exam , ur everything is judged. My parents are saying of taking drop but its hard for to take a drop. I don't know what should I do. Every day its getting hard to live thinking that again someone will come and make me count my mistakes.
Ans: Dear Yashasvi,
You win some, you lose some...that is LIFE...

Instead of feeling down and out, pick yourself up and figure out what you want to do next...what are the other options that you are yet to consider. feeling sorry for yourself is not going to push you to make a future.
You can't change what's happened but you can certainly choose how you want things to move ahead...
So shake this low feeling and feeling sorry for yourself off and seek the advice of a senior who you look up to or someone in your family who can guide you on the next steps.
It helps involving someone to help you at this time as you are deep into it already. This person can play the role of giving you independent advice and suggestions without judging you.

1. Seek someone who is a role model to guide you
2. Look ahead instead of harping on what has happened
3. Use failure as a form of feedback from where you can learn
4. Spend at least a month away from academics to rework strategies on how to study effectively
5. Smile through challenges as they only help you grow

And if you still feel that your parents are being supportive, do let them know that you need more of their love and care.

All the best!

Hi mam i give neet with partial drop three times i always wanted to be a doctor in my whole family my brother and sister get their desired colleges i am not jealous of them but i sometimes feel neglected then i worked hard on my dreams as at my third attempt as i give at three months before it my final exam of college of other subject start i can't even quit that because i fear my family disappointment then i didn't able to give my 100 fully that makes me satisfied i feel so depressed that i didn't have courage to check marks while everyone is celebrating their success i feel lost can't i feel complete one good dream for myself all my family support me to do whatever you want but i can't decide i feel like tragiec the faith all i have put in myself feel like useless i crave to be success do something for my own but i can't known that such thing occur unexpectedly i feel depressed and my family think i am just doing because to gain their attention ,i keep unnessary exceptions from me ,is it crime to keep big dream althought i worked hard but it didn't take outi feel like lost all how can I get up and achieve something feel proud of myself
Ans: Dear Yadnya,
Dream Big and never be afraid to Fail. Most often, we are told that failure is not an option. Failure when accepted as a part of life, then loses power over us.
1. Never become attached to the outcome so that fear does not play in your mind
2. Understand that We win some and Lose some and losing does not mean all is lost
3. Draw a clear plan to achieve your goal
4. Work on your state of mind for optimum performance
5. Develop hobbies outside of studies that can support you have a positive outlook on a daily basis
6. Family and friends are your best support system, so talk to them regularly about your challenges to enable them to support you

Smile and dream big again; tomorrow is another new day.

All the best!

Ans: Guilt can be overwhelming, especially when it leads to intrusive thoughts and physical symptoms like stress-induced gas and pain. It’s important to remember that everyone makes mistakes, and what matters most is how you choose to move forward from here.

First, try to focus on grounding yourself in the present moment. Deep breathing exercises can help with both the stress and the physical discomfort you’re feeling. Breathe in slowly through your nose for four counts, hold for four counts, and then exhale slowly through your mouth for four counts. Repeat this a few times to help calm your mind and body.

Next, consider talking to someone you trust, like a friend, family member, or counselor. Sharing your feelings can help lighten the emotional burden you’re carrying and provide some perspective.

You might also want to think about how you can make amends for the past. This doesn’t mean you need to confess to everyone, but maybe there are ways you can use your skills and knowledge to help others, which could help you feel more at peace with yourself.

Remember, it’s okay to have made mistakes—what’s important is how you handle them and what you learn from them. Try not to let guilt consume you. Instead, focus on being the person you want to be moving forward. Taking small steps toward honesty and self-compassion can help you find a way out of this stressful situation.

I got 11779 rank in phase2 exam will i get ece in srm ap
Ans: Krithika, With a SRMJEEE Phase 2 rank of 11,778, you are well within the typical cutoff range for admission to SRM University AP (Amaravati) for BTech programs. Recent cutoffs show that core branches like Computer Science and Engineering at SRM AP close around 70,000–77,000, while branches such as Electronics & Communication, Electrical, and Biotechnology close between 24,000 and 97,000, depending on the year and demand. Even for popular branches, the cutoff is significantly higher than your rank, ensuring a strong chance of admission. While CSE at SRM Kattankulathur (main campus) closes much earlier (within 10,000), SRM AP’s closing ranks are much more relaxed, and you can expect to get CSE, ECE, or allied branches comfortably. The only exception might be the most in-demand specializations within CSE, which could close at slightly lower ranks, but most core and allied engineering branches will be available to you. Ensure you participate in the counselling process and list your preferred branches in order of priority to maximize your chances.

Recommendation: With an SRMJEEE Phase 2 rank of 11,778, you are very likely to secure a seat in CSE or any core BTech branch at SRM University AP; complete the counselling process promptly and prioritize your preferred branches for the best outcome. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

My daughter is getting cse Mtech in PEC chandigarh, how is placement there as compared to NIT jalandhar
Ans: Punjab Engineering College (PEC) Chandigarh’s CSE MTech program has seen average packages of ?13.5 LPA (2022) and ?15.97 LPA (2023), with median packages of ?10–12 LPA and a placement rate for CSE above 80% in recent years. The college attracts high-profile recruiters and benefits from its Chandigarh location and established alumni network, leading to strong PPOs and industry engagement. NIT Jalandhar’s CSE program recorded a 94.03% placement rate in 2024, the highest among its branches, with an average package of ?14.61 LPA and top recruiters like Amazon and Google. NIT Jalandhar’s NIRF ranking (46) is higher than PEC’s (138), but PEC’s location and reputation for CSE often draw more high-profile companies and slightly higher median packages for MTech graduates. Both institutes have robust placement support, but PEC’s CSE MTech offers a marginal edge in average and median packages, especially for postgraduate students, while NIT Jalandhar has a higher placement percentage for BTech and MTech CSE.

Recommendation: Prefer PEC Chandigarh CSE MTech for its strong industry connections, higher average and median packages for postgraduates, and Chandigarh’s job market advantage; NIT Jalandhar CSE remains an excellent alternative with top placement rates and national ranking. All the BEST for Your Daughter's Admission & a Prosperous Future!

CSE in Manipal bengluru or CSE in Jaypee 128 or DSAI in Thapar or CSE in mahraja Agrasen (through ipu) which is better for education,intern and placement
Ans: Arnav, Manipal Institute of Technology (MIT) Bengaluru’s CSE program stands out for its robust placement record, with a median package of ?10 LPA and average of ?12 LPA, 300+ top recruiters, and an industry-oriented curriculum supported by experienced faculty and a dedicated Practice School internship model that ensures strong industry exposure and high PPO conversion. Jaypee Noida Sector 128’s CSE program offers 90–99% placement rates, an average package of ?8–8.5 LPA, and 250+ recruiters, but campus life and infrastructure are rated lower than MIT, and internship opportunities are more variable. Thapar University’s DSAI program boasts 95% placements, A+ NAAC accreditation, and a research-driven faculty, but internships are less widespread (20% students), and the program is more academically rigorous. Maharaja Agrasen (IPU) CSE sees 40–60% placement rates, with average packages around ?8 LPA, reliable mass recruiters, and decent infrastructure, but it ranks below the other options for both placements and industry engagement.

Recommendation: Choose MIT Bengaluru CSE for the best combination of placement consistency, internship opportunities, modern curriculum, and campus environment; Thapar DSAI is strong for AI-focused careers and research, while Jaypee Noida CSE is a solid NCR option. Prefer Maharaja Agrasen only if location or cost is a major constraint. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
