It's a Question of your Career!

Hi Gayatri,

If you wrongly declared your caste as BCA instead of BCD while registering keep in mind that this must be corrected at the earliest possibility. During the counselling process, at the time of document verification if any inconsistencies appear between your declaration or documents and your official caste certificate, it can create issues or may even disqualify you from reservation benefits.  Here’s what you can do:

1. Immediately reach the counselling authority through their helpline or email explaining the error.
2. Request for the relevant correction window, but many counselling portals do allow you a chance to correct errors.
3. If there is no correction option online, during document verification tell the verification officer about the error and show them your correct caste certificate (BCD) as they may be able to amend your record manually.

Ensure your documents match your application details to avoid complications.

Hello Swetha,

Yes, you're eligible for JEE Main 2026 & BITSAT 2026 with your 2025 Board improvement exam marks.

JEE Main: Your 2025 marks count for eligibility. These improved marks will be used for the 75% criteria for NIT/IIT admissions.

BITSAT: Your 2025 improved marks are accepted. Ensure they meet the 75% aggregate in PCM (or PCB) and 60% individually in each. Your "Pass" status must remain.

Ensure results are available by deadlines.

Hello there,

Yes, you are eligible to take the MAH MCA CET in 2027 even though you had an ATKT in your Sem 1 B.Sc IT exams, as long as you have cleared it.

The key eligibility points for MAH MCA CET are:

• Final Year Eligibility: Candidates appearing for their final year of graduation are eligible to appear for the CET. Since you'll be in your final year (TYBSc IT) in 2026-2027, you qualify.

• Bachelor's Degree with Marks: You need to have a Bachelor's degree (like B.Sc IT) from a recognized university with at least 50% aggregate marks (45% for reserved categories). As long as your overall final degree percentage meets this, your past ATKT, now cleared, won't hinder your eligibility
  
  
• Mathematics Requirement: You must have studied Mathematics at the 10+2 (Class 12th) level or at the graduation level. As a B.Sc IT student, you would typically meet this.
  
  In short: Clear all your ATKTs before your degree is complete, and ensure your final aggregate percentage meets the minimum criteria. You can then confidently appear for MAH MCA CET in 2027.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.

Hello Aspirant,

It's normal to sense confusion after 12th with two good options like B.Tech and B.Pharm. Let me help you analyze this situation:

1. B.Tech path is a good fit if you are more into physics, math, and technology. B.Tech shows a career path in engineering, software, electronics, mechanical, and so on. You will find more opportunities in the tech industry and a higher level in M.Tech, MBA, or MS.
2. B.Pharm path is good if you are interested in chemistry, biology, or the health care sector. B.Pharm would lead to career paths in pharmaceuticals, research, and even to government jobs related to the safety and regulation of drugs. You may also drive forward to M.Pharm or Pharm.D at a later time.

Consider your strengths and interests and look at where you can see yourself for 5–10 years. Do not take a decision based on what your friends are doing—choose the option that fits you the best.

For MHT CET (PCB) with 110 marks, the approximate percentile can vary year to year depending on the difficulty and overall student performance, but generally:

110 marks out of 200 in PCB usually falls around the 85th to 90th percentile range.

This means you scored better than about 85-90% of the candidates.

Hello there,

No, generally you cannot do a 1-year diploma and then directly write TS ECET to get admission into the 2nd year of B.Tech.

Here's why, according to the standard eligibility criteria for TS ECET:

• Required Qualification: To be eligible for TS ECET (and lateral entry into B.Tech 2nd year), you must have completed a 3-year Diploma in Engineering and Technology from the State Board of Technical Education of Telangana or Andhra Pradesh, or any other equivalent diploma recognized by the Government.
  
  
• Minimum Marks: You also need to have secured at least 45% marks (40% for reserved categories) in your Diploma.

A 1-year diploma typically does not fulfill the requirement of a full 3-year diploma course. The lateral entry scheme is designed for students who have completed the full foundational engineering knowledge provided by a standard 3-year diploma.

Therefore, to be eligible for TS ECET, you would need to complete a full 3-year diploma program first.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.
