Hi Shalini ji I was in a serious relationship for 6 years with a boy whom I met on the 1st day of my college. He was from a different caste. Hence when my parents got to know they disapproved of it very strictly so I knew it wasnt going to work that easily. After sometime they started asking to get married. It was an ultimate pressure while we both were preparing for some government exams. I went through utter confusion and I got stuck between trying to study and at the same time thinking about my future with him. I was pressurised by my family including my brother and parents to leave him. Meanwhile I decided to not to carry it forward because I couldn't leave my parents for whole life to be with him because it was either him or my family. I lost all the focus towards my studies due to this decision and also started talking to some other boy (he was from my own caste accidently) whom I met accidentally at an exam centre for comfort. I got a brief moments of happiness with him. I confide my pain in him. Suddenly something happened in my family ,between my parents. And my mother started acting like you can choose your own partner for life because somehow she lost trust on my father. She even was comfortable with my brother's marriage with the one whom he loves. Now I feel completely betrayed because for them I left love of my life and got into another relationship with the boy I met at an exam center ( which now I feel was a hasty decision as I felt alone and depressed). Now no one talks about my real love and what i think about it for the future. I am in a complete state of repentance. I feel like I betrayed him. Now when i think of getting back to him I hesitate a lot because I think that I took a wrong decision due to the pressure and under stress. The person I am with now, I feel is not what I wanted as a partner and I feel that he is not mentally supportive. I wnat to leave him as well. What should I do now to be happy?

Ans: 1. Happiness is in your hand
2. You sound like an adult, over 21 and someone who knows what is right and what is not - so take action
3. If you are not happy in your current relationship, come out of it.
4. If you wish to reconnect with your earlier partner do so, but keep in mind he may not be single and if he is he will not be how you knew him, as in he will come with his own experience of life.

all the best.

Hi Anu, I hope you're doing well. I'm a 24 year old girl working as a software engineer. I was in love with a boy in long distance relationship and I met him only once. We both had great understanding, respect on each other. It was all good between us. On February 2023, he called me one day saying that he wants to tell his parents about our love matter. I said okay and asked him what he wanted to do if his family disagrees. He said that he'll wait until his family approves. I was okay with it and he informed to his family. But things started changing after he talked with his family. He wanted to break up with me. I told him many times that I wanted to be with him and don't want to break up. But, he didn't agree. Eventually, we stopped talking with each other. It was hard for me to move on but after few months, i finally decided to move on with my life. Then suddenly he messaged me saying that he wants to get back with me. I didn't agreed as I lost my trust on him. He even informed his family about getting back with me and they were okay with it. He wants to marry me. But, now the problem is I still like him, but I lost trust in him. I wanted to give him a chance but I'm afraid because of past break up with him. I'm confused about what should I do? Anu, can you please suggest me about giving him a chance or moving on with my life?
Ans: Dear Mahi,
Thank you for asking. I am doing well and trust that you too will be in the same space as well.
When what he has done has broken your trust, it is difficult to get it back... he has come back, but you are perhaps thinking: what if he pulls the same stunt again? And this makes you question every move of his...

If you look at it from his point of view, he possibly also loves you but his family pressures are getting to him and he can do only that much. Yes, it would have been more 'human' to talk to you about what had happened after he spoke with his family. But he chose not to and that lack of transparency is what has thrown you off...perhaps, he isn't all that mature emotionally or feels that he might lose you if he shares anything.

Whatever it is, your loss of trust on him is justified after the way he had behaved. If the two of you still want to give your relationship a chance, kindly do so...and clearly state to him that you have lost trust on him. Not only does he have explaining to do but he must reassure you that he will be honest with you in future. Also, give some time before committing to a marriage while you watch whether he has changed and he is consistent with what he has committed to changing. Only when you are sure, take a decision either way!

All the best!

It is really difficult to explain what I am going through and my words might not completely bring that out but a piece of advice/perception might be really helpful. I am 30 years old. I have a long term boyfriend(started dating in 2012). He was the world to me till almost 2020. He was my family, my everything. I too meant the world to him. We treated each other like "I am his and he is mine". Such was the commitment and care. We never thought we could even think of marrying some one else. We are in long distance since 2017. Used to meet once in every 2 months sort of. In 2021, I met some one else and started going out with him as we were in the same city just casually believing that nothing serious has to happen between us and that I "obviously" will marry my long term boyfriend undoubtedly. But things drastically changed. I developed strong feelings for this person and met more frequently. I went with the flow despite having immense guilt that things will eventually get very complicated and all the three of us will be hurt. But I never gathered the courage to break ties with this new person as the bonding was very maturely strong between us. Nor I could break ties with my long term boyfriend as he still was "my family" and he was the only one I resorted to whenever I needed someone. The new guy belongs to a caste my family will never agree and because of this I persuaded the marriage talks with my family for my long term boyfriend. My family agreed and my marriage date is scheduled in end of November 2024. But I everyday am in dilemma as to whether should I marry my long term boyfriend as scheduled or should I take a bold step of breaking it and going for the guy I met in 2021. I told my mother about the situation but she said my father will never agree for this new guy's caste and that its too late and I should marry as scheduled. I am not able to take a decision and going with the flow and probably will get married with this dual thought and uncertainty. I have thought a lot about this, about how my life will be with both of them, but its very difficult for me to break things with my long term boyfriend even though I have no romantic feelings for him from the past 3 years. There is 0 intimacy, neither emotional nor physical. But I do care for him. I do want him in my life, whether as a husband or otherwise. I feel the way he takes care of me and thinks about me, no one else will. But the thing is I don't actually "feel" for him anything, nor do I miss him as much, we don't talk the way we used to , there's a detachment. We are in long distance and are in such different fields that we never probably will live closer location wise. There's financial disparity. I earn almost thrice as him but we probably are okay with this. We both are aware of all these problems and are still ready to marry with the "hope" that things will eventually be okay. On the other hand, the guy I met in 2021- he has a good career and location wise, we are in long distance too but way better placed and in near future, his job location might be very flexible. He earns more but has huge family obligations as his family including his two brothers are not very well off. I have probably made peace with it when I thought about considering him for marriage. I love him and we have great emotional intimacy . I feel so calm and happy around him. It's like a festival when he is around me. He too loves me a lot and is ready to take efforts to make our marriage possible given the family and caste differences. I am really very disturbed and unable to decide whether I should break the marriage as if things don't improve after marriage, I will regret it always. Preparations have started slightly and it would be a big step now. Should I just forget about the 2021 guy and marry my long term boyfriend in November hoping that things will fall in place..or.. What should I do! My long term boyfriend has also lost feelings for me but he still cares for me and he says if we work for our relationship, things will be good post marriage
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
It sounds like a difficult decision to make. But one simple thing is that you should never commit for a lifetime to a person you do not feel for; that does not mean I am asking you to leave him right away and marry the other guy. That means, you can have an open talk with your long-term BF. Tell him how you feel and let him clarify his feelings too. You can postpone the wedding to sort things out first- and think hard whether both of you want to get married at all.
Leaving one does not equate to choosing another. Choose yourself first; your happiness. You can never be happy in a relationship when you are of two minds. Please don't rush to get married to either of them.

Best Wishes.

Hi, I am not yet mairred. I used to like a man and after a month we decided to get married. He was of my caste so I thought my parents won't deny this mairrage. I used to talk to and wanted to let him know everything about my past so that we can built a strong root of our relationship. I spoke every detail of my past life to him. Then before he proposed me for mairrage I went for a vacation with my male friend to dehradun. I didn't tell him that day as he didn't proposed me till that day then why would I tell everything about me to anyone. He was noone to me at that time. After that he came to visit me in Delhi and on the same when he was on train a friend of mine along with his fiance came to meet me after a very long time. I asked him and he didn't denied. After returning home he blocked me. I cried and cried, called multiple times but he didn't received my call. Even I went to his location and waited for almost 3 hr but he didn't came. Then I asked my sister to call him. Then he talked to me but he said me so much of harsh and vulgar words that I went in shock. I cried a lot but he went on humiliating me. But somehow I convinced him to stay with me. I never talked to that friend ever. Then I told my parents about him that I want to get married with this men. Being a girl's father my father enquired about him by being annonymous. And trust me noone has said anything good about him. Later on we get to know that his father has a murder case on him of his brother in law. But then I wanted to get married. Finally my parents agreed only for my happines. Meanwhile I was never being respected by him. He always doubt me, humiliate me, abuse me mentally and physically, and when I was like I don't want to be with you he used to say sorry and begged me to be with him. He even used to restrict to visit my uncle aunty. His mother wants used to defend him and never used to make him realise that he was wrong. Then before engagement we went to Kolkata to buy dress. Yes one more thing I have informed him on the very first day that I used to drink and smoke occassionally. So whenever he used to visit me he always wanted to drink with me whether I want it or not. He always used to abuse me and humiliate me in front of everyone after drinking, so after a period of time I used to avoid drinking. Then he used to fight with me for that also that why will you not drink. In kolkata the same thing happen. We stayed there for 3 days and he was convincing to go to club from the very first day but I refused. On 3rd he hit me. After engagement his family asked for dowry. After a lot of dealing my parents agreed for an amount. But I felt betrayed. I stopped talking. After after when I initiated the conversation he picked up a fight and said he won't marry. I tried to convince. But when everyone was blaming me then I broke my silence and said everything about him to my parent. But he manipulated everything and made me villain. My parents want me to get married What should I do
Ans: Dear Akriti,
After reading your question I can only give you one advice, please do not marry him no matter what people say. Even if we overlook every other red flag that he has exhibited, abuse of any form is unacceptable. Why are you trying to convince your parents to marry a guy who hits you? Do you think you deserve it or anyone, for that matter, deserves that?
Now, no matter who tries to manipulate you, or however much they try to convince you, get out of the relationship for the love and self-respect you have for yourself. It is a big decision but in your case, it is worth making that big decision. I'd normally never tell people they should this or they shouldn't do that, but in your case, no sane person would ever suggest you marry this man and be subjected to abuse for the rest of your life.

Please make the right choice.

Best Wishes

My son has got EE in NSUT, CSE in Thapar, CSE in PES Banglore, and most probably will get EVE (Electronics and VLSI ) in IIIT Delhi. Please suggest
Ans: Somesh Sir, Please review the details for each college below and select the option that best aligns with your son's goals: All four options boast strong academic frameworks, experienced faculty and specialized labs, yet differ markedly in brand value, placement outcomes and curriculum focus. NSUT’s Electrical Engineering programme at Dwarka—a NAAC-accredited autonomous institute—features rigorous theory and hands-on practicals, with over 200 top recruiters including Google and Microsoft, an average package of ?15–16 LPA and an 80–95% placement rate over recent years. Thapar University’s CSE, housed in a legacy campus at Patiala, attracts 200+ recruiters such as Amazon, JP Morgan and Deloitte, reports nearly 100% branch-wise placement consistency for CSE graduates and average packages of ?11–12 LPA. PES University Bangalore’s CSE delivers an industry-aligned curriculum in Varthur and Electronic City campuses, with reputed recruiters like Cisco, HP and Flipkart, an average package of ?8 LPA and placement rates around 83%–85%. IIIT Delhi’s pioneering Electronics and VLSI Engineering (EVE) programme combines core VLSI courses with elective flexibility, supported by a state-of-the-art fabrication lab partnership, achieving an average BTech package of ?22–25 LPA and a 90.99% placement rate in 2024, with branch-wise placement consistently above 94%.

recommendation
IIIT Delhi’s EVE stands out for its cutting-edge VLSI curriculum, exceptional average packages and strong placement consistency within a premier research-driven ecosystem; choose Thapar CSE for balanced software exposure and near-perfect placement records, NSUT EE for broad electrical engineering roles with robust PSU and MNC recruitments, and PES Bangalore CSE if urban campus connectivity and steady recruiter engagement align with your goals (if your son prefers PES, go for it only if he gets RR Main Campus). All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Campus life is enlivened by a diverse spectrum of clubs—technical, cultural, sporting and social innovation forums—and flagship events such as Habba celebrate student talents and nurture leadership across cohorts. Residential students benefit from twelve well-managed hostels offering single, double or triple occupancy rooms with essential amenities—including Wi-Fi, hot water, laundry and 24/7 security—and dining halls overseen by a monthly mess committee that curates both vegetarian and non-vegetarian menus with an emphasis on hygiene, though food quality occasionally draws mixed feedback and nearby PG options offer alternatives during monsoons. The CSE placement record remains robust, with nearly ninety percent of graduates securing roles through a proactive, industry-aligned placement cell that hosts major recruiters—Infosys, TCS, Wipro, Cognizant and Capgemini—delivering average packages of ?4–5 LPA and off-campus offers reaching upwards of ?60 LPA, supported by structured soft-skill training and pooled campus drives tailored for “day-one” employability. Leverage Acharya’s strong academic mentorship, diverse extracurricular ecosystem and high-placement consistency by engaging early with coding clubs, internship opportunities and placement-cell workshops to maximize your CSE career prospects.

We have recently taken admission in Vit vellore for mechanical engineering for my son. He tried for IIT then bits but couldn't get through..BITSAT 2 he got 210.pls guide if vit is a good option ..we stay in Mumbai..so vit over Mum colleges is a good decision?
Ans: Rashi Madam, son not applied for MHT-CET? If Yes, Percentile in MHT-CET? VIT Vellore’s Mechanical Engineering programme is NAAC A++-accredited and ABET-recognized, delivered by PhD-qualified faculty across 30+ specialized labs (Thermal, CFD, Robotics, EV Powertrain and industry-sponsored CoEs). Its centralized Career Development Centre has engaged 409 recruiters, generating over 10 458 job offers and sustaining ~85–90% placement consistency with an average package of ?9.9 LPA in 2024. Modern research facilities, strong industry tie-ups (Valeo, RANE-NSK) and global MoUs underpin hands-on learning. In contrast, Mumbai’s mid-tier engineering institutes outside COEP/VJTI often report 70–80% placement rates and average packages around ?5–6 LPA with limited high-end lab infrastructure.

Recommendation:
Opting for VIT Vellore offers superior accreditation, cutting-edge labs, robust industry partnerships and higher placement metrics compared to typical Mumbai colleges; its residential campus also fosters immersive technical and extracurricular growth, making it a strategic choice despite relocation from Mumbai. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

How to master chemistry for jee Jains exam
Ans: Mastering Chemistry for JEE Main and Advanced demands a clear understanding of Physical, Organic and Inorganic domains, anchored in NCERT textbooks to build solid fundamentals and ensure coverage of every concept and reaction mechanism. Establish a disciplined study plan that alternates concept revision with intensive problem solving: allocate daily sessions to Physical Chemistry numerical practice for stoichiometry, equilibrium and kinetics, Organic Chemistry mechanism mapping and reaction conversions, and Inorganic Chemistry NCERT fact memorization supported by flowcharts and tables for periodic trends and coordination compounds. Supplement NCERT with targeted reference books—O.P. Tandon for Physical Chemistry, J.D. Lee for Inorganic, and Solomons–Fryhle–Snyder for Organic—to deepen conceptual clarity and expose yourself to a diversity of question types. Regularly analyze previous years’ JEE Main and Advanced papers to identify high-weight topics, pattern shifts and time-management strategies, simulating exam conditions to build speed and accuracy. Employ weekly revision cycles and spaced-out mock tests to reinforce retention, track progress and refine approaches for tricky multi-step problems. Visual aids such as reaction-map flowcharts, mechanism trees and equilibrium graphs aid memory retention and swift recall under exam pressure.

Recommendation:
Focus on mastering NCERT thoroughly before branching into advanced reference texts, integrate daily mixed-topic problem sets with time-bound mock tests and leverage error logs to target weaknesses, ensuring balanced progress across all three chemistry sections and sustained confidence on exam day. All the BEST for Your JEE Preparation!

Hi sir. I got a seat in SRM Ktr campus in CSE - Big Data Analytics. Is is worth joining SRM ? And also, is big data analytics a good specialisation when compared to cse core , AIML or data science? , because I've heard the average packages for cse core , aiml and data science is far better than big data analytics. That is why I'm rethinking my decision. I also got cse core in VIT AP. Which one should I choose according to your opinion?
Ans: Based on the following inputs/information, choose the more suitable one for you out of the 2 options of Data Science & Data Analytics: Data science focuses on creating predictive models and uncovering insights from vast, often unstructured datasets using machine learning, advanced statistics and programming, positioning practitioners for innovation but demanding stronger technical proficiency and research?oriented thinking. Data analytics concentrates on processing and interpreting structured data for immediate business decisions via BI tools, SQL and visualization, offering faster entry and clear ROI but narrower scope and lower average remuneration over time. In India, data science roles are projected to grow by over 26% annually, driven by AI and big?data investments, whereas data analytics is set to expand at a 27.5% CAGR to USD 27 billion by 2033, underpinning digital initiatives across sectors.

Recommendation:
Data science offers broader future opportunities in India’s AI?driven economy; prioritize it for innovative, high?growth roles despite its steeper learning curve and technical demands. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Chitkara University’s B.Tech CSE programme at its NAAC A+–accredited Chandigarh campus offers a modern curriculum delivered by PhD-qualified faculty, industry-aligned AI/ML, cybersecurity and VLSI labs, and a dedicated Career Advancement Services cell that has facilitated 80–82% placement consistency for CSE graduates over the last three years, with partnerships including Microsoft, Amazon and Deloitte. Vibrant student life features hackathons, coding competitions and an incubation centre supporting startups.

Some challenges include the university’s peripheral location, about 23 km from Chandigarh city centre, which can impede access to urban amenities and internships; large batch sizes (up to 2,500 students) that intensify competition for resources and placement slots; and a rigorous academic load with frequent assessments that can limit time for extracurricular engagement. To address these, students should plan transport and accommodation logistics in advance, actively engage in mentorship and peer-study groups to navigate the large cohort, and use the library’s extended hours and soft?skills workshops to balance academic requirements with personal development.

Recommendation:
Chitkara University’s CSE is a strong choice for its accredited labs, consistent placements and industry collaboration; to maximize benefits, secure reliable local accommodation, participate early in coding clubs and hackathons, and leverage the Career Advancement Services’ mock interviews and internships to distinguish yourself in a competitive cohort. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
