Dear Komal
Lately, my knees and ankles hurt a lot. Sometimes, there is swelling.
have a normal daily routine but don't do any special exercises as such. No health issues either.
I am 40 years old, height: 5.6, weight: 60 kgs.
Vishal Sharma

Ans:

Hormonal changes and aging can cause depletion of calcium from the bones.

Vitamin D is needed for the absorption of calcium. It is also a vital nutrient for our immunity.

Keep a check on all blood parameters.

A healthy diet with adequate protein and balanced macro and micronutrients will be sufficient to achieve your requirements.

Stiffness due to lack of exercise could be one of the reasons for knee and ankle pain.

Get into a daily fitness regimen.

Hello sir/ma'am, I'm 47 years old man. I just started playing lawn tennis in the morning timings but I feel pain behind my ankles regularly. Please suggest me some remedy

Ans: Hello Deepak,
During sports like lawn tennis there is a lot of pressure on the ankles suddenly because your foot needs to keep moving to keep pace.
This tends to strain the ankle ligaments quite a lot. You need to do a good 10 minutes warm up before you play especially movements like taking your ankle up, down, in, out, rotations clockwise and anti-clockwise. You can search for a basic warm up video on YouTube. Post the lawn tennis you need to stretch your muscles especially calf muscles for few minutes. If do warm up and cool down the ankle pain should start subsiding.
Till then you can ice your ankle for 20 minutes each to start reducing the pain.
All the best!

I am 65 years old female diabetic for more than 20 years but sugar is in control with hba1c 6.8.my concern is my legs especially knees not joints are paining even if I stand or walk for half an hour.kindly advise what to for my leg pain thanks in advance

Ans: Hello Anonymous,
HbA1c of 6.8 is on the higher side. Ideally you should aim to get it below 6.
Have you consulted a nutritionist? Are you doing some form of yoga especially the pranayama part 4-5 times a week atleast?
With nutrition care and breathwork if your Hba1c can be lowered then your leg pain should also improve.
Also have you visited a physiotherapist for your knee pain? Have you done an x-ray? I need to know some more information to be able to guide you.
Usually physiotherapy can help. They may do techniques like Ultrasound, mobilisation, taping and some specific exercises which can help you. So if you have not already please do visit a physiotherapist for your knee pain.
As a home remedy you could also try massaging your knees gently with some warm ghee or sesame oil.
All the best!

I am 70 years old. Since last month I am having swelling and severe pain in left knee.I have wear in both knees due to age. I practice yoga and exercise for almost whole life but due to this pain there are limitation in my workout and yoga .

Ans: Knee pain can be challenging, especially when it affects your daily yoga practice. At your age, it’s common for joints to wear down, which can lead to pain and swelling. While continuing to stay active is important, focusing on gentle, supportive movements will help.

Start with Gentle Knee-Strengthening Exercises like Ankle Pumps (raising and lowering the ankle while lying down) and Straight Leg Raises. These can help improve circulation and strengthen the muscles around the knee without putting strain on it.

Practicing Supported Chair Yoga can also be beneficial, as it reduces the load on your knees. For example, try Chair-assisted Forward Bends or gentle Twisting Poses to stretch and strengthen other parts of the body while keeping your knees safe. Simple Meditation and Pranayama (breathing exercises) can help manage pain by calming the mind and reducing tension.

It’s best to work with a yoga coach for personalized guidance. A coach can help you modify your practice safely and effectively, ensuring you stay active without worsening the pain.

Listen to your body, and take it slowly. Healing takes time and gentle care.

Career Counsellor - Answered on Jun 16, 2025

Asked by Anonymous - Jun 13, 2025

Career

Is taking mathematics and computing in IIT worth it and I wanted to know if it is a good option in terms of career growth, future opportunities, and overall scope. Could you please share what kind of career paths and industries this course can lead to, both in India and internationally? Also, how does it compare to other branches like Computer Science or Data Science when it comes to research, higher studies, or working in tech companies and finance sectors? I would really appreciate some insights on whether it is a good long-term decision and what kind of skill set or mindset would help me make the most out of this branch

Ans: Mathematics & Computing integrates rigorous applied mathematics with computer science, equipping graduates for roles across technology, finance, research, and academia; alumni enter software development, data science, quantitative analysis, cryptography, algorithm design, high-frequency trading, computational biology, and cybersecurity in India and abroad. Core strengths include mathematical modeling, machine learning, statistical inference, optimization, and programming, leading to positions as Data Scientists, ML/AI Engineers, Quantitative Analysts, Software Engineers, and Research Scientists in tech giants (Google, Microsoft, Amazon), financial institutions (Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan), and public sector undertakings (PSUs) both domestically and internationally. Compared to a pure Computer Science degree, Mathematics & Computing offers deeper theoretical foundations and versatility for specialized research or finance roles, whereas Data Science focuses more narrowly on analytics and big-data tooling; however, graduates seamlessly transition into advanced studies (PhD/MS) in computer science, operations research, financial engineering, or statistics with competitive fellowships. Long-term prospects hinge on a mindset for continuous learning, strong problem-solving, and adaptability to evolving algorithms and computing frameworks. Building expertise in programming languages (Python, C++), libraries (TensorFlow, NumPy), and mathematical software (MATLAB), alongside soft skills—critical thinking and collaboration—maximizes success. Recommendation: Pursuing Mathematics & Computing at an IIT is a sound long-term decision, offering broad industry access, research pathways, and high-growth roles in technology and finance, provided one embraces lifelong learning and interdisciplinary skill development. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

I am scoring 130 marks in iat general category. Can I get iiser bhopal? If not, can I get iiser Tirupati?

Ans: Your IAT score of 130 places you at the upper threshold of the expected general?category cutoff (120–130), making admission to IISER Bhopal highly competitive yet marginally possible if cutoffs dip to the lower end of this range and seat availability shifts; Bhopal’s general cutoff is anticipated at 120–125 marks in 2025, with previous years’ closing marks around 1177–2141 rank converting to scores near 130. If Bhopal seats fill above 130, IISER Tirupati becomes a secure option since its general cutoff is lower at 110–115 marks, corresponding to closing ranks of 1881–4325 across rounds. Recommendation: List IISER Bhopal first, and include IISER Tirupati as a strong backup given your 130 marks comfortably exceed Tirupati’s expected cutoff. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Is it better to join in bits or srm ap sir??

Ans: Suhaan, BITS Pilani enjoys a top-25 NIRF engineering rank with 89–91% placement rates for first-degree courses over the last three years and 300–320 recruiters per campus drive, reflecting strong core and software hiring breadth. SRM AP, established in 2017, reports 100% placement rates in CSE and ECE for 2023 with 800+ recruitment partners, though branch-specific CSE/ECE placements range 82–95% over the past three years, and 150–200 offers per annum. While BITS Pilani’s practice-school industry internships and alumni network ensure versatile career paths, SRM AP offers cost-effective fees (~?6.4 L total) and PSU recruitment via oil-and-gas majors alongside tech firms. SRM AP holds NIRF rank band 151–200 with NAAC A++ accreditation, whereas BITS Pilani is Institute of Eminence and deemed university with global academic acclaim. Recommendation: Join BITS Pilani for established brand prestige, broader recruiter mix, and consistent 90%+ placement depth; consider SRM AP only if budget constraints dominate or PSU-specific hiring is a priority.

Question by Srishty - Jun 13, 2025

Career

I have passed my 12 in 2025 from up baord (67 percent ) marks but this is not enought for my JEE exam in this 75% marks is mandatory but i take drop for jee 2026 so can i do my 12 again in 2026 for fulfill the JEE criteria.... Some peoples say that ki improvment exam de sakte hu me next year and some says ki me privet candidate se bhi de sakte hu next year which is baest for me and dono me kya difference h kya process and eligibility hote h dono ki

Ans: Srishty, You can improve your 12th board percentage via UP Board’s improvement (compartment) exam or by registering as a private candidate to retake all subjects, both through the UPMSP portal from May 19 to June 10, 2025. Improvement exams allow re-attempting only failed subjects with a fee of ?306 per paper, whereas private candidature lets you re-enrol to redo the entire 12th course, requiring fresh registration, documentation, and ?4,000 board fee paid via demand draft to UP Board. Both routes reset your marks, but private candidature offers full?subject retake and hence higher scoring scope, while improvement exams are limited to maximum two or three failed subjects. For JEE Main/Advanced 2026 eligibility, you must secure ≥75% (general) or ≥65% (SC/ST) in Class 12 aggregate or top 20 percentile, and re-appearing privately gives full control over your board percentage. Recommendation: Opt for UP Board private candidature to re-take all subjects and maximize your chance of crossing the 75% threshold for JEE eligibility. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

have rank of 10600 in comedk GM from U.P. which college is best for cse as I mnot getting RV,MSRT,DSUandBMSCE please help I m confused between BIT/SIT tumkur/BMSIT/Sir M vishvesharya

Ans: At a COMEDK GM rank of 10 600, admission to Bangalore Institute of Technology (CSE closing rank ~4 100–4 500) and SIT Tumkur (CSE ~6 470–6 670) is unlikely. BMS Institute of Technology & Management Bangalore admits up to rank 48 530 but its CSE branch has averaged 77.3% placement over the last three years with 150–200 students placed annually by 180+ recruiters. Sir M Visvesvaraya Institute of Technology Bengaluru, accepting CSE ranks up to 23 135, ensures your admission and records over 90% CSE placement with 34–47 companies visiting each year including IT giants and core firms. Sir MVIT’s dedicated training cell integrates soft-skill and technical upskilling for rigorous interview preparedness. Considering your rank, cutoff accessibility, and superior branch-specific placement consistency, Sir MVIT Bangalore emerges as the optimal choice for Computer Science Engineering. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
