NDA form 2025 not accepting caste certificate issued in 2018: What to do?

Ans: Hi,

You need to apply for a new community certificate and submit it when applying for the NDA exam.

Why is this necessary? The certificate you uploaded was obtained in 2018, and since the current year is 2024, it is now outdated. According to state government regulations (which can vary from state to state), the validity of a community certificate is typically a maximum of 5 years, and in some cases, just 1 year. Therefore, your community certificate is no longer valid.

Additionally, there is no reservation in the army. However, having a valid community certificate is important because it allows candidates belonging to Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes to be exempt from paying fees. To receive this fee waiver, you must present a valid certificate.

It's also important to note that financial statuses can change every 5 years. Therefore, it is advisable to apply for the new certificate as soon as possible and complete the process by December 31, 2024.

ALL THE BEST.

Should I quit my secure job to pursue freelance physics teaching?

Ans: Hi Anonymous,
I would suggest not leaving your job immediately. Instead, consider experimenting with your freelance physics classes from class 9 to class 12, this could be quite lucrative if you are a good teacher and have a strong knowledge of physics. Once you receive positive feedback on your teaching style from the market, you can think about leaving your job and pursuing this full-time. Please feel free to connect with me and message me on LinkedIn—I’d be happy to provide further insights.

How much should I aim to save for early retirement at 30 with 2.5cr property and 2-2.25 lakhs monthly income?

Ans: Hello;

Hope you have adequate term life insurance for yourself.

You may start a monthly sip of 90 K in a combination of pure equity mutual funds.

After 10 years your sip and lumpsum investment will grow into sums of 2.09 and 1.24 Cr respectively.

This adds upto 3.33 Cr. If you add your ppf and EPF corpus then this should add upto a sum of around 4 Cr.

If you invest this corpus in a conservative hybrid debt fund and do a SWP at the rate of 3.5%, you may expect a post tax monthly income of
1 L+.

As you get married your expenses will rise as also the need to plan for various other goals.

Therefore the decision to retire from regular 9-6 job should be backed up with alternate business plan or such other plan to monetize your hobbies that may yield income over atleast next 10-15 years.

Best wishes;

60 Marks in NEET UG and 70% in 12th: Can I Study MBBS Abroad?

Ans: Hello dear.
You did not mention his NEET passing year. Yet if it is assumed that he appeared for NEET in 2024, it might be too late to take admission to any foreign university. Please consult with the consulting firms that deal in the admission process to foreign universities. Now related to your query about whether he will cope with the syllabus, will depend upon the ability of the student to do hard work. Even though a student scores less in 12th grade or NEET, if he puts a lot of effort into MBBS, then it is possible for him to excel in the subjects. There is no relation between the subjects of 12th grade and the MBBS syllabus. If your cousin is comfortable with Biology, then he can easily cope with the syllabus.
If satisfied, please like and follow me.
If dissatisfied with the reply, please ask again without hesitation.
Thanks.

Help! My Best Friend's Ex Boyfriend wants to meet her before his marriage - What should I advise?

Ans: Dear Sonalee,
I am not sure if it's such a good idea to go and meet her ex, but if that's what she needs to do for closure, then other than supporting her, there isn't much you can do. I know it sucks to see our loved ones in pain and making choices that will cause them more pain, but in some cases, we have to let them make their own decisions. Go with her since she is asking you to; look out for any kind of tricky situation and be there for her because it won't be easy.

Best Wishes.
