Hello aspirant,
Unfortunately, based on the information provided, it's highly unlikely that you would be eligible for the Mukhyamantri Medhavi Yojana due to following factors:

Gap Year Restrictions: Most scholarship programs, including the Mukhyamantri Medhavi Yojana, have specific guidelines about academic breaks. A three-year gap is generally considered too long.

Percentage Criteria: While your 82.3% in 12th board exams is good, it's crucial to check the exact percentage requirement for the scheme. Some scholarships might have a higher cutoff.

Income Criteria: There are usually income limits for beneficiaries of such schemes. If your family income exceeds the specified limit, you might not be eligible.

Domicile: You should be a permanent resident of the state where the scheme is offered to be eligible.

Remember, while a three-year gap might be a challenge, it's not impossible to find financial support for your education. There are many other scholarships and financial aid programs available, so don't get discouraged.

Hi Rajesh,

A rank of 23,000 in AP ICET is moderate. The chance of you getting a seat depends on multiple factors like category, gender, local area, and number of seats available. Since you belong to BC-A, you have had a slightly better chance than general category students.

However, you can expect difficulty getting on the preferred courses in top universities like Andhra University (AU) for MBA/MCA. Your rank of 23,000 means you have a low chance admission to these preferred courses, especially in high demanded courses/specializations. You can still expect a seat in:

1. AU (not the main campus) affiliated colleges
2. Other decent universities or private colleges
3. You can research colleges in SVU or JNTU-K regions as cutoff ranks in BC-A may be higher.

I got 85 percentile in JEE mains exam 2025  and rank 11359 in SC catagory & got 61.8 percentage in HS Exam from CBSE board. Kindly advise any suitable strem & suitable colleges in West Bengal - Bihar  & Jharkhand.

It is not possible for you to get any college at such low score even it is quite challenging for you to get a seat in any IIT or NIT's forget about job opportunity.

I suggest you to prepare hard for next time and aim for atleast top 500 rank to get seat to chemical engineering in colleges.

ALL THE BEST!!!!

Hi,

It’s great that you're planning to switch career to journalism, even while working in finance. Journalism is a field where strong communication, analytical skills, and a curious mindset matter and your background in finance could give you a better chance especially in business or financial journalism. Another thing to keep in mind that you're a working professional, you’ll probably want a program that offers flexibility like evening classes, weekend lectures or, part-time.

There are some college/program options you can consider:

1. Indian Institute of Mass Communication (IIMC) Delhi & other centres,Offers a 1-year PG Diploma in Journalism,Known for its practical training and Some short-term certificate programs are also available.

2. Asian College of Journalism (Chennai),offers a 1-year PG Diploma in Journalism,full-time, but worth exploring if you plan to take a career break.

3. Symbiosis Institute of Media and Communication (SIMC), Pune it's offers PG programs in mass communication, check if part-time or distance learning options are available.
