Ans: Hi,

Your concern is about the stability of your job, despite having expertise and skills. You are facing challenges due to GST and Ethics in Business.

I want to commend you for maintaining ethical business practices for the past two decades. Taxation is a common aspect of business, practiced worldwide, including in developed countries. Although some countries may have exceptions, it's important to note that in India, we have transitioned from various taxation systems to GST from VAT. Compared to VAT, GST offers numerous advantages for consumers and business people involved in procurement, manufacturing, and sales. One of the main benefits is transparency in business operations, allowing for comprehensive tracking from start to finish. Due to this enhanced transparency, illegal vendors are facing difficulties with GST.

Therefore, I advise you not to worry about GST in your business. Instead, focus on collecting and sharing information related to your business with your management. If the management does not listen or is not convinced by your expertise and ideas, I suggest considering leaving the organization. With your skills and expertise, you can explore opportunities in other organizations or even start your own business. Additionally, the current central government is supporting entrepreneurship by providing financial assistance for startups.

So, do not worry and proceed confidently.

Ans: Hey, if you're thinking about becoming a teacher, I recommend going for a traditional in-person course instead of an online or distance learning program. You'll learn better in a regular class setting compared to online courses. So, I suggest pursuing your postgraduate studies through a traditional program

Ans: Hi,
Good afternoon.
My suggestion is to pursue an MBBS degree.

Ans: To get updates, follow the Veterinary Council of India. According to the second round, the following top-ranked individuals (ranked number 26905 - 125066 for BC) have secured seats for this year.

Ans: Yes, as you mentioned, NEXT is applicable for the 2024 batch. Government colleges usually do not participate in rankings due to various reasons. They do not need to provide any data to be ranked, so it would be a waste of time. Even though the institution is government-owned, they still have to follow the regulations set by the MCI. Therefore, you need not worry about his education. He will surely gain all sorts of experiences.

Ans: The degree is not the only factor in determining an employee's salary. Experience and field of work are also important. Your query is incomplete for commenting. Kindly excuse.

Ans: Hi Anugraha,
You have shared the details of marks with me but not the rank and category, making it very difficult to answer your query

Ans: When evaluating the best college, it should be based on specific council requirements such as the quality of faculty (not just the number of faculty members, but also their experiences), infrastructure (not limited to buildings alone), outreach programs (not just participation, but actual impact), and hands-on training (including bedside teaching). Most importantly, the treatment of faculty members reflects the importance of the respective programs. Therefore, one should judge a college based on these factors rather than simply looking at its ranking.

Now, select some colleges based on rankings (government or private) and match them with the above to choose a college.

Ans: HI PARI,
I suggest considering studying medicine in India instead of going abroad. The reason is NEET. Because of NEET, you have options. If you wish to pursue medicine in foreign countries, you need to appear for NEET and meet the eligibility criteria. Although the basic medical education is the same, the medical council insists on completing the licensure exam in India. Nowadays, even Indian medical students need to meet these eligibility criteria. If you want to pursue medical education in foreign countries, you need to go through agents, which can lead to a lot of issues. It's better to complete the basic medical course in India and pursue your postgraduate studies abroad.

Now that you are familiar with NEET from your first attempt, don't worry about the past. Prepare confidently for your second attempt and appear for NEET with strong preparation.
ALL THE BEST.

Ans: Hi Karthi,

Your query is incomplete. Are you asking about treatment or pursuing education? If it's about pursuing education, is it for undergraduate (UG) or postgraduate (PG) studies?

For undergraduate studies, you can obtain a degree from any medical college. However, the degree will be awarded by RGHUS and not by BMC, MyMC, or MnMC. Since your question is unclear, I'm unable to provide a complete answer. Please provide more details. Thank you.

ALL THE BEST.

Ans: Hi Pralhad,
Your question is incomplete. Since it is incomplete, I am unable to provide a response.

Ans: Don't worry about campus placement. Even though your daughter wasn't selected through the campus, there are still opportunities available, but she may need to relocate. I would advise her to prepare a strong resume before applying to any organizations. Encourage her to seek a job related to her core skills. It's important for her to gain exposure in her field so she can access better opportunities in near future.

Ans: Hi,
Greetings.
I believe the United States is a better option for studying medicine due to the significant advancements in the field. There are also opportunities to secure scholarships. You can explore this by visiting the websites of renowned universities that offer medical courses and reaching out to professors associated with these institutions.

Ans: Hi, I suggest that you specialize in botany by completing a Master's degree and then proceed to biotechnology while pursuing your doctorate. This will help you in your personal and professional growth.

Ans: Hello, there are two websites available for the Bihar Pharmacy Council:
https://biharpharmacycouncil.in/
https://biharstatepharmacycouncil.com/
To register as a pharmacist, you need to upload your details onto the council's website. Kindly verify on which website you have uploaded your details.
The website https://biharstatepharmacycouncil.com/ is linked with the Pharmacy Council of India. Therefore, follow the directions on the second website accordingly.

Ans: Hi Sir,
The information you have provided is insufficient. I can offer recommendations if you provide more details.

Ans: Hi Yomrik,
Most universities offer doctoral programs (PhD) in pharmacy or pharmaceutical sciences without specialization in areas such as medicinal chemistry or clinical pharmacology.

Ans: Hi,

After completing B.Pharm, there are relatively few opportunities compared to pursuing a postgraduate degree in pharmacy. I don't have an idea about your financial background, but if you are good at interacting with people, you can consider a career in marketing and sales, which offers many advantages.

The advantages of choosing marketing and sales include:
1. Good earning potential (more than INR 6.0 LPA)
2. After 3 years, you can pursue an MBA through distance education.
3. After 3 years, you can transition from field work to the product department (usually as a product executive), where you can guide the sales representatives.
4. After 5 years of experience in marketing, you can start your own third-party marketing company.

On the other hand, if you join another field, you may receive lower pay due to having only an undergraduate degree.

So, I strongly recommend considering a career in marketing and sales.

Ans: Hi Varinder,

Greetings! Rather than pursuing a D. Pharm, I strongly recommend opting for a B. Pharm. Government colleges are still the best choice. You were admitted based on your credentials, so please do not hesitate. After completing your B.Pharm, consider pursuing a postgraduate program at a national institute.
ALL THE BEST.

Ans: Hi Mohammad,
Greetings.
I believe there is a misunderstanding about Pharm D. Pharm D is essentially the role of a clinical pharmacist, not a medical doctor. You cannot perform surgeries or similar procedures like a doctor; your primary responsibility is to assist physicians in prescribing medicines. In Western countries, pharmacists are allowed to prescribe medicines, unlike in India where this practice is still developing. Pharm D holds high value abroad, sometimes even more than MBBS. However, in India, this field is still growing slowly due to lack of proper training and development. If you focus on gaining skills and knowledge in the clinical aspect, it can lead to a promising future

Ans: Hi Sujit,
Hello,

I am pleased to learn that your son will be completing his MBBS next year and is considering pursuing higher education. From your query, it seems that you are contemplating whether he should pursue his higher education abroad. There are several factors that need to be taken into consideration before making a decision. Some of these factors include:

1. He will need to clear the USMLE or PLAB exams, which will require dedicated effort. Until he completes these exams, he will require both financial and moral support.

2. The specialization he is interested in pursuing is a crucial factor to consider.

3. The choice of university will also play a significant role, as it may impact the availability of financial aid.

4. Additionally, it is important to weigh the pros and cons of studying in the USA or the UK and make an informed decision based on the specifics of each country.

Ultimately, the decision about his higher education should be made based on your financial circumstances and the support that can be provided without undue strain.

But i feel USA is better option when compare to UK.

"All the best to your son for his future endeavors."

Ans: Hi, Tanya,

Absolutely NO.

NEET UG is entirely different from NEET PG. Even though both exams are entrance examinations, they differ in the maturity of the candidates who take them. In the case of NEET UG, we were not mature enough, but in the case of NEET PG, we are mature enough. With proper preparation, you can easily complete the task in the first attempt. So, don't worry and all the best!

Ans: Hi, since you have only completed your undergraduate degree, it might be challenging to teach. However, the course you completed is for an assistant to a physician, so it may be possible to train freshmen in colleges where there is a shortage of human resources. As for government jobs, you need to keep checking the employment news for relevant opportunities.

Ans: Hi, please share the details of the course you have completed and the marks you have scored, as it's necessary for me to make a suggestion.

Ans: Hi Shristi,

Greetings!

Yes, you can pursue MDS abroad too. Before that, why don't you earn your master's degree in India? There are many institutions with experienced faculty here. If you decide to pursue this path, visit the websites of your selected universities, prepare your resume, collect the Letters of Recommendation (LORs), and proceed.

Ans: I suggest delving deeper into ayurveda. It's important to learn more about prescribing medicine using VPK principles. By specializing in your field, you can open up a lot of opportunities for yourself. The skills and eligibility required to enter the AYUSH department and pharmaceutical companies include competency and knowledge of herbs for clinical trials and manufacturing.

You can also conduct research and develop new formulations. If your formulation is groundbreaking, you can even apply for an award from the central government. Stay focused and committed, and don't expect high pay right from the start.

Ans: Hi Mam,
Happy Independence Day.

Please pass on our congratulations to your daughter on behalf of Rediff and me for being accepted into Manipal for the pharmacy program. You also inquired about the best option between textile engineering and pharmacy. Both programs are connected to production; the main distinction is that one is for non-medical products while the other is related to medicine.

The process of design, manufacturing, quality control, and quality assurance in textile engineering is relatively quick.

On the other hand, the development of medicine from molecule to market can take 12-15 years. Therefore, there will be numerous opportunities in this field.

I recommend that your daughter compare both fields and come to a decision. It's a choice that she can make easily.

Ans: Hi Sameera,
Greetings. The information I have is not sufficient to provide a response, and there is no connection between B.Pharm admission and NEET score. Please share the required details so that I can guide you accordingly.

Ans: Hi,
After completing a B.Pharm, there are numerous career opportunities available:

1. Industry: Roles in drug and pharmaceutical production/manufacturing, quality control, quality assurance, regulatory affairs, and marketing.
2. Academic: Opportunities as a lecturer in government and private colleges.
3. Government Jobs: Positions such as drugs inspector and junior analyst.
4. IT Industry: Jobs as a medical scribe or in medical/scientific writing.
5. Pharmacist: Opportunities as a community pharmacist or a hospital pharmacist.
6. International Opportunities: Working as a pharmacist in Gulf countries like Dubai, Qatar, and Oman.
7. Higher Education: Pursuing M.Pharm with over 15 specializations available, Pharm D (PB), or an MBA.

You can choose the right field that matches your career goal or growth. I don't have information regarding your gender, financial background, or location. Based on the above information, I can provide a career option that best matches your interests and goals.

Ans: Hi Nitin, B.Tech. (Pharm. Chem. & Tech.) syllabus is like B.Pharm with a little engineering, and the scope is very limited. Since you are in Mumbai, opportunities are available in the pharma production department or with a pharmaceutical fine chemicals company.

Ans: "Hi,

She can pursue BNYS if she gets accepted."

Ans: Hi Dheeraj, In India, the scope of medical engineering is much smaller compared to developed countries.

Ans: Hi Suhani,
Either NSUT biotech or BITS, Pilani for B.Pharm.Hey Suhani,

I'm considering either NSUT for biotech or BITS Pilani for B.Pharm.

Ans: Hi Vijay,
I recommend that you choose IIT BHU for Pharmaceutical Engineering.

Ans: Hi,

In comparison to BPT, B.Pharm is a better option.

Ans: Hi, B.Pharm is preferable to BPT. MNCs offer pharmacy graduates up to 6-8 LPA for marketing roles.

Ans: Hi Prarthana, When you ask about Pharm D, why didn't you appear for the NEET exam? If you are truly interested in healthcare studies, my advice is to take the NEET exam.

Ans: Hi,
It's important to understand that regardless of the undergraduate course we choose, it won't be sufficient as the competency level will be lower compared to postgraduate candidates.

If we examine the syllabus, TUS is almost similar to the Pharmacy program. If forensic science is our primary interest, then NFSU would be the better option. If you look at the syllabus of TUS almost similar to the Pharmacy program. But if you are so particular about forensic, then NFSU is the better option.

Ans: Hi,
As you have mentioned, the job prospects after completing the course seem limited. Given that the course is relatively new, it's unclear where she would fit in - whether it be in biochemistry, biotechnology, microbiology, or pharmacology. Even pursuing a Masters degree may be challenging in India.

Ans: Hi Sara,
You mentioned that you are a NEET dropper. Why don't you go for repeating the same instead of changing your choice? Surely, you will get a medical seat.

Ans: Hi Nirakar,
As you mentioned, PV is not a promising field. Consider joining as a product management executive in a pharma company.
Best regards

Ans: Hi babeena,
Greetings.

You have decided to pursue a career in biotechnology. Currently, the opportunities in this field are not very promising. My suggestion is for you to consider focusing on pharmaceutical biotechnology instead of food.

Ans: Hi, why not consider attending one of the best private colleges in Karnataka instead of medical school?

Ans: Hi, there are not many differences between universities. So, regardless of where you did your undergraduate studies, you should make a concerted effort to gain admission to NIPER for your postgraduate studies in pharmacy.

All the best.

Ans: Hi there, I believe you've made a decision to pursue either CSE or B. Pharm. Am I correct? If you're interested in CSE, aim for a National Institute (since admission is based solely on your rank). If B.Pharm is your choice, consider BITS Pilani.

Ans: Hi, based on your question, you can pursue a core MBA with a thesis in Marketing. This is a better choice. Regards.
