I was asked to quit the school since the new management wanted to have teachers according to their whims and fancies. I worked for her parents when the parents died the property was divided among her daughters finally the elder one cornered it she didn't want the old staff to work and wanted to appoint new staff. When my old correspondent (her mother) when we asked for PF she assured i can't insure right now because i should have done right at the inception of the school so i promise to pay good will when you leave the school for the service rendered towards the school unfortunately she too died in 2021 then her daughter present correspondent didn't even do any favour Unfortunate thing i worked for such an institution there i had not facilities of PF . I served so loyally for this institution as a token of gratitude to my service.they didn't pay anything.

I'm running pillar to post to find a job to support myself. Im helpless and desperate don't know what to do. Please help mem
Ans: Hello

I can understand what you must be feeling to go through this stage of life.

May I suggest you start with taking private tutions, given your rich experience in teaching I am sure you will make positive impact in the lives of students. Initially you may find it difficult ... but as you take steps...over the period a good path would be laid.

Believe in yourself...I am sure you will do it good.

All the best.

After graduating i was lecturer in engineering colg hv 2 years of experience n after that working in govt Bank from past 7 years. Gave CAT twice but time constraint n toddler was not able to crack.last year got finalised for NMIMS hyderabad but dint took admission as away from mumbai n not that great bschool.going to give cat this year as ladt chance but i m very very confused n stressed that should i go for it or not, m having age barrier ,a growing kid,offc n home work pressure, managing all this i could hardly make time of 2/3 hrs to study with low energy..i thought of executive mba but was thinking doin executive taking so much risk wil actually land me where? Also as d growing age n 9-5 job health hampers sometimes with backaches n end of day i think that is my decision really worthy,shud i really go fr it or settle wid what i hv, in short m trying to jump from comfort zone to competitive world where i il b having colleages 10 yrs younger n smarter than me..but i get a kick wn i c womens sparking high.can u plz guide me sir taking my decision?
Ans: I believe instead of looking for 2 year full time MBA course, try for Executive MBA course from some of the top IIMs or XLRI or ISB. You would have to write the GMAT which requires less amount of preparation as compared to CAT. Minimum work experience required for doing Executive MBA is around 5 years. So the others would also be of similar age.

Which is beneficial out of 1.Certficate programes by MBA colleges . 2 Distance MBA 3. Executive MBA 4. Regular MBA in India? Context: I have 12 year of experience in total in the IT sector. I am a solution architect earning around 50LPA CTC. I am exploring the options of doing an MBA and not sure which one is more suitable. I am in middle management and want to get into the senior leadership role. Objective: This MBA/certificate for me is a ladder to scale up. So I am looking only for top 5 management schools in India. Mostly from IIM's or ISB only. Expectation: Looking for alumni status Looking for network connections for better outreach for a job switch. Impression on Resume/profile to get a job in a higher designation. I am more concerned with designation although in the IT sector only. (Is impression is enough to scale up the ladder , with comm and tech skills. Not sure ) Constraints: I need remote education, and can't relocate to different cities. cant go beyond 6-8lakh fees. Options: Certificate Program (IIM, ISB, XLRI) Executive MBA(1 year)(Too expensive though) General MBA(2 year remote) From these options, which is the best alternative? and what is the difference between these? Does it hold any value on paper?
Ans: It is always preferable to do an Executive MBA considering what you require from an MBA course. But you have other constraints in which case look at distance MBA Certificate course. There are foreign universities like Wharton, Kellogg, etc offering Distance Certificate course, but if you plan to continue working in India, course from top IIMs or ISB or XLRI could be better.

Dear Rediff Guru!! I"m a 63 year old widow, who ventured into teaching 16 yrs ago. About 10 years previous to that, I worked 10 yrs in a non- banking finance coy as clerk and/ or cashier. I resigned that job since I had to singularily concentrate on my son"s studies. I"m still teaching. This job is on contract basis. Now my son is grown - up and independent, my elder brother, who is settled in US, is advicing me to make a move to US. The way he suggests is pursuing a Phd in any University there whereby one gets a stipend which would assist for a living and eventually getting a job and settling there in. Would I be able to do that? There are formalities here ofcourse,,,. I"m a postgraduate in German Language & Literature, Sir. I recently heard from a believable sourse that in US people get jobs in looking after Old People in Assisted Living Facilities. I would like to get an advice. Thanking You, Geethanjali Unnikrishnan, Trivandrum, Kerala, INDIA
Ans: Hello Geethanjali,

First and foremost, thank you for getting in touch with us. I am glad to hear that you have completed your postgraduate degree in German and Literature and are currently teaching and now wish to move to the USA. As an answer to your query, I would like to tell you that your application remains valid until the visa officer grants you permission to enter the United States. The first requirement is for the university to accept PHD work.

sir, My daughter has done MA Applied psychology from BHU. And have the work experience of 3 years. Now see need to do the PhD from abroad in good university. PhD in psychology in abroad is treated as job or not. are they give stipend, can you guide me what is required for the same.
Ans: Hello PREM,

To begin with, thank you for contacting us. I am happy to hear that your daughter has pursued her Master of Arts in Applied Psychology and now wishes to pursue PhD overseas. To answer your question first, I would like to tell you that earning a PhD overseas can be considered employment, however, with a stipend instead of a pay. You would be happy to hear that a number of universities, particularly in Europe and the USA, provide stipends to PhD students in psychology in order to help pay for tuition fees and living costs. Nevertheless, based on the country, university, and particular program, these stipends may differ.

To apply for a PhD in psychology overseas, I would suggest that your daughter considers the following:
Firstly, your daughter will need to possess a solid educational background. This entails a strong undergraduate and postgraduate academic record, which I believe she already possesses with her MA in Applied Psychology. Next, bear in mind that candidates with prior research experience are preferred by a number of PhD programs. Your daughter’s 3 years of professional experience might entail pertinent research projects, which would be beneficial. To secure admission to their PhD programs, Graduate Record Examination (GRE) test scores may be required by certain universities, particularly in the USA. Nevertheless, not all the universities demand GRE scores for psychology programs, and thus, I would recommend that your daughter examines each institution's particular criteria. Next, your daughter may require to prove her fluency in English through appearing for tests viz., the IELTS or TOEFL, if English is not her primary language. Your daughter will need to submit a well-drafted statement of purpose (SOP) highlighting her research interests, professional objectives, and reasons for wanting to pursue a PhD in psychology overseas. She will also need to submit compelling recommendation letters from professors or managers who can speak to her academic capabilities and research potential. Remember that a research proposal highlighting her proposed PhD research field may be demanded by certain programs. Lastly, evidence of one’s ability to sustain oneself financially while enrolled in school may be require in some nations.

Taking into account variables viz., possibilities for research, the experience of the faculty members, and financial resources, I would recommend that your daughter conducts an all-round study on potential universities and programs. Not just that, in order to understand how her research interests best resonate with the program’s offerings, I would also suggest that she gets in touch with academics or advisors in her field of interest.

Hi Guru, Iam planning for my sons abroad studies in masters at US. We have bank loan sanctioned for both tution fee and personal expenses. As a father and co applicant do I need to still show funds in my bank inspite of having banks loan sanctioned letter at the time of student visa interview or during college admission. Kindly clarify
Ans: Hello,

First and foremost, thank you for getting in touch with us. I am glad to hear that you are planning for your son’s Master’s degree in the USA. As an answer to your query, I would like to tell you that having a bank loan approved for both tuition fees and living expenses can be advantageous at the time of applying for a student visa or during college admissions in the USA, nevertheless, you may still be required to provide proof of your financial standing.

Remember that visa officers and universities generally want to ascertain that students (and their families) have the money to meet their expenditures while studying.

Although a sanctioned bank loan demonstrates your financial stability, I would still recommend that you demonstrate extra financial resources if feasible. This could entail bank statements or other proof of sound financial standing in order to affirm to the authorities that you can fund any unexpected costs or gaps that may occur while your son is studying.

Bear in mind that the standards and levels of scrutiny could be slightly different for each institution and visa office, and thus, I would suggest that you thoroughly examine the precise guidelines offered by the university and consulate where your son intends to apply.

A sanctioned loan may be adequate in certain circumstances, nevertheless, I would always recommend that you have additional evidence to back up your financial status.
