Eastern Academy of Science and Technology, Khordha Reviews on Infrastructure, Campus, Placement, Facilities & Faculty

Hello,

Achieving 231 marks in NEET 2025 within the ST category provides a slight chance of obtaining an MBBS seat through the state quota in select North Eastern states, even though it might be quite difficult. Regions such as Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, Nagaland, and Meghalaya, where there are fewer medical aspirants and a greater reserved quota for Scheduled Tribes, may see cutoffs in the lower spectrum, occasionally around 250–300 marks for ST candidates. Nevertheless, 231 marks fall just short of those lower-range thresholds, meaning MBBS admission may not be guaranteed. Nonetheless, you might still find opportunities in private medical colleges, government-aided private institutions, or through BDS, BAMS, or BHMS programs, which generally have lower cutoffs. It is strongly advised to engage in the counselling process of your home state and keep track of mop-up and stray vacancy rounds, during which occasional spots become available due to withdrawals.

Hope this helps. All the best!

This is very sad to know,

Here is a sample formal letter of complaint regarding the unfortunate incident:

The Director
Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai

Subject : Complaint Regarding the Tragic Death of a Child in an Open Stormwater Drain

Respected Sir/Madam,

I am writing this letter as a deeply concerned citizen of Mumbai in the wake of the recent and heart-wrenching incident in which a 6-year-old child was washed away in an open stormwater drain during heavy rainfall. The tragedy occurred due to the absence of proper safety measures and timely maintenance of civic infrastructure, especially in vulnerable residential areas.

This incident is not the first of its kind. Every monsoon, our city witnesses preventable tragedies caused by open drains, clogged sewer systems, and water-logging. The grief and trauma experienced by the victim’s family and the outrage among residents is a reflection of the failure in urban management and public safety.

It is alarming and unacceptable that, despite repeated warnings from residents and civic groups, open drains and uncovered manholes continue to pose a deadly threat to the public-particularly children and the elderly. The absence of warning signs, safety grilles, and proper fencing around such drains is a glaring negligence on the part of the concerned departments.

I humbly urge your office to:

• Conduct a thorough investigation into the incident and take accountability for the lapse.

• Ensure immediate covering and fencing of all open stormwater drains across the city.

• Launch a monsoon safety audit of high-risk zones and fix vulnerabilities.

• Initiate an awareness campaign for citizens about safety measures during heavy rains.

We cannot afford to lose more innocent lives to administrative apathy. I hope the Corporation will treat this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves and work toward making Mumbai a safer city for all.

Yours sincerely,
Ranjeetha
Resident, Andheri East, Mumbai

I hope it help and such things will not happen in the future.

Hello Rajesh,

I see you were born in East Godavari, Andhra Pradesh. You completed your schooling (class 1-8) in Hyderabad in 2014. You then moved back to Andhra Pradesh and studied in Andhra Pradesh for your 9th and 10th grade education. You then completed your intermediate and graduation in Telangana.

Since you completed most of your higher education (intermediate and graduation) in Telangana, you might be eligible for local status in Telangana. In regard to local status for the purpose of applying for jobs, it usually depends upon the rules of residence of the respective state government. Since you have lived and studied in both Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, you might want to ask with the local/domicile certificate authorities in your respective state. It is generally the case that the locality where you have studied the most years or where your family resides now is used for local status.
