I have currently 2 flats which can give me rent of at least 80k per month and 1 house where I stay. I have a family of 3 members which includes me, my wife and 2 months old daughter. I am currently working in an IT organisation and have around 10+ years of experience but now I literally feel burnt out. I don’t sleep peacefully at night thinking about quitting my job as I hate it. I haven’t thought about alternatives as I am still exploring. My monthly expense is around 75k per month. Can you please suggest what should I do so that at least I can take care of my family with basic necessities.
Ans: Sir, Since you are already considering alternative career paths, take the time to narrow down the options that interest you. The reasons for feeling burnt out have not been mentioned. Is it because of work pressure? Unusual working hours? Considering a job change within the same domain at a different company is a wise choice. Alternatively, you might explore acquiring skills in a different area that piques your interest or in a field that closely aligns with your existing experience. If you choose to completely transition your career, your 10 years of experience will not be taken into account, and you will be regarded as a newcomer for the position. Additionally, it is advisable not to sell your two flats that provide you with a good rental income to cover your monthly expenses. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future.

Sir, my daughter is doing her 12th now, she is aiming to get into IITs , NITs, BITS , IIITs for CS or any engineering which can make her enter into IT industry in future. Which IITs, NITs and IIITs can we prefer, we are from Chennai.
Ans: Your daughter is aspiring to gain admission to one of the IITs, NITs, BITS, or IIITs. The campus selection for your daughter will depend on the Percentile/AIR she achieves. To gain admission to a top IIT, NIT, or IIIT for the CSE branch, a minimum score of 99.00 percentile in JEE-Main is required, along with an All India Rank (AIR) below 1000 in JEE Advanced. For admission to the Pilani Campus of BITS, a minimum score of 330 out of 390 is required. In addition to JEE and BITSAT, she is eligible to take COMEDK to aim for one of the top three colleges in Bengaluru or Karnataka. I hope your daughter is attending her JEE coaching sessions. It is recommended to participate in 5-7 entrance examinations to ensure a range of options, rather than depending solely on JEE and BITSAT. Some strategies to enhance performance in JEE, BITSAT, and COMEDK examinations. (1) She should review the questions she answered incorrectly or skipped in the Mock Tests and Practice Tests she has completed to date, whether at the Coaching Center or at home, and practice them thoroughly. (2) She should familiarize herself with 20-40 previous years' JEE Question papers. (3) She should begin revising 11th Grade Chaptesr. (4) Consistent and regular revision is essential. (5) Additionally, she should practice time-bound online mock tests or test series to assess her speed and accuracy. All the BEST for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future.

I am 21 yrs old I've done 3 long terms in Neet I've no degree I've idea to run a institute Iam willing to start my own coaching Institute did my age and experience restricts me?
Ans: Subramanyam,

The response is negative. Starting a NEET Coaching Centre is not contingent upon your age or experience.

Nevertheless, it is imperative to possess a significant amount of fortitude, and the following are some fundamental requirements that must be met prior to the establishment of a successful NEET coaching center:

1) To gain a comprehensive understanding of the NEET Exam, it is recommended that you review the Information Bulletin of NEET 2024. It is important to mention that the majority of parents and students are unaware of the process by which the merit list for NEET is generated and the corresponding rank is assigned. In addition, Coaching Centre does not disclose this information to parents and students even prior to the commencement of the course. 2) You will be required to conduct a market analysis and research on the demand for NEET coaching in the location where you intend to establish your center. 3) Be aware of the fee structure and the availability of Coaching Centres / Private Tutors in the area. 3) Your Business Plan for the Coaching Centre, including the objectives, target students, revenue models, growth strategies, salaries of faculty members, study materials, setup costs, ongoing monthly costs, and revenue models (e.g., will you provide varying packages for courses of varying levels?).
4) Infrastructure and location are additional critical factors to evaluate. It is recommended that you select a location that is in close proximity to residential areas or schools. Alternatively, you may establish a partnership with a school to provide NEET coaching. The students should have access to fundamental amenities at your coaching center. 5) License and Legal Compliance. In addition to Business/Tax Registration, it is advisable to comply with local regulations that govern the operation of coaching centers. This may necessitate adhering to specific regulations regarding safety, the number of students, and building codes.
6) In order to guarantee the quality of instruction, it is essential to design the finest curriculum materials/test papers and maintain a low student-to-faculty ratio at a coaching center. 7) The popularity of your center among the parents/students in your area will be further enhanced by the marketing and branding efforts of your center, which include the use of social media marketing (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube) and referral programs. 8) The most critical aspect of operating a coaching center is the recruitment of qualified and experienced faculty. 9) Your coaching center should add value by incorporating teaching methodologies that include personalized attention, regular assessments, doubt clearing sessions, and motivational sessions for the students. 10) Additionally, student support and counseling should be ongoing.

MOST IMPORTANT: When marketing or advertising your coaching center, emphasize the 'BENEFITS' of joining it rather than the 'FEATURES'. Prospective customers are preoccupied with the BENEFITS they will derive from any product or service.

All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future.

Hi, I have experience as a HR Recruiter and vendor manager (including day to operations) for a total of 2.5 years. Now I'm planning to resume my career as an HR. I have been applying to so many HR jobs from but all gone in vain because of so many rejections and current market. I feel due to my digital transformation, AI inclusion and no experience in other HR roles like payroll, engagement, compensation and benefits and so on is the reason for not getting selected. My parents are not ready to risk to pay for HR certification courses as job is not guaranteed. I am in my late 20's. Due to marital pressure and family pressure they are asking me to switch to IT job (SAP). I am unable to make a decision. Should I continue to search in HR job or should I look into IT as suggested. Kindly help me
Ans: Kavi, you have correctly identified that HR necessitates extensive knowledge, as Recruitment and Staffing are merely one of its many functions. Furthermore, the process of identifying and securing the most suitable candidates for the organization has become progressively more complex due to a range of factors. It is advisable to explore HR Recruitment opportunities through LinkedIn Job Alerts. The lack of supplementary skills, knowledge, or certifications in HR is a significant reason for the rejection of your resume. Kindly refine your resume by incorporating relevant keywords. For guidance on creating an effective resume, please visit my YouTube channel, edujob360, at your convenience and prepare your resume accordingly. Furthermore, you have the option to enroll in an IT Certification Course, available in both in-person and online formats, through a recognized institution. It is essential to conduct comprehensive research on the course curriculum, job guarantee or assistance, reviews of the course or institution, fees, course duration/times, and other pertinent factors before enrolling in any certification course, whether online or offline. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future.

Sir, my son is a student of Mechanical Engineering at IIT Bhubaneswar. He is interested intership program in Germany or France. Please guide me.
Ans: Hello Soumitra,

First and foremost, thank you for getting in touch with us. I am happy to know that your son is interested in pursuing an internship program in Germany or France. However, I would like to tell you that studying overseas frequently offers easier visa options, such as student visas, which can result in post-study employment opportunities. Therefore, instead of directly going for an internship program, he can consider pursuing higher studies first. Both Germany and France are renowned for their top-notch education and research centres, and thus, pursuing a Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or an associated field in any of these countries is an ideal choice. RWTH Aachen, TU Munich, and École Polytechnique are renowned universities that provide specialized courses. Your son should also think about contacting academics in his area of interest and participating in academic conferences or workshops, which can assist in establishing connections and result in possible internship or research possibilities. In Germany, he can locate internships and research possibilities via platforms such as DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service), which frequently entail financing options. Likewise, in France, your son can explore the CAMPUS France website, which offers information on internships and study programs that are open to overseas students. I wish him the very best for all his future endeavors.

I got 1000+ rank in nimcet this year but i didn't get any nit..so I decided to take drop and again preparing for it.. but couldn't focus as I have given my 100% this year but still couldn't clear should I learn technical skills parallely because if I prepare solely for nimcet I'm going to burn out... and get frustrated
Ans: Hello.
Sad to hear about the frustration that developed in you. But you are not the alone among lacs of students who are not admitted to NIT's/IIT's or some reputed institutions even after giving 100%. Every student, who is appearing for the exam will do the same thing and give his 100%. Yet few of them only get admission. The rest of them either try to repeat or choose another path. There is nothing wrong with taking a drop. If you check the history, many repeaters have succeeded in cracking the examination and come out of frustration.
Keep faith in yourself, your studies, and your burning desire to crack the examination.
Please keep other aspects i.e. learning technical skills parallelly away for few months, till your exam is over. Engaging yourself in parallel skills will again create frustration in your mind. First, you take admission to a demanding course in a reputed college and then shape your career how you want.
As you have well prepared for the 1st attempt, you know your drawbacks where you went wrong, and what missed, It is my confidence that you will crack the examination this year by overcoming the drawbacks.
Best of luck to your upcoming bright future which is just a few months away! Wakeup and start with new hopes!

All my friends went to their dream colleges, but I made a mistake by not being able to handle the pressure for those 2 hours. And I couldn't deliver what I knew. It demotivates me every time... I don't know how to handle it... I'm wasting a lot of time in this situation. There are just 8 months left, and I have not started preparing as I prepared earlier with my 100% day and night... sometimes I feel like I'm done. But I'm committed to myself. I have to get into my dream college.i don't know how to heal ????????
Ans: Welcome back.
Please cool down. As I said earlier, you are not alone among many students who failed to get their dream college in 1st attempt. Those who have a burning desire, again start from ZERO and get what they want! Keep faith in yourself, forget the past, and look for a bright future. Thinking for the whole day, will not have any outcome. It is better to think that due to some medical situation, you won't be able to appear for the examination. Now you recovered from the situation and will crack the upcoming examination with a high score. Don't think much about your past friends. You will make new friends in your dream college. Friends change from year to year! Don't waste your precious time. Yet a big span of 8 months is in your hand. One can do anything whatever he wishes in 8 months. You said one thing, "I'm committed to myself" This sentence reflects your high willpower to get admission to your dream college.
Wake up... Start.... and Finish!
