Sir I'm 28(m), I have no degree. After 12th I quit my studies and worked in very small jobs from (2014-2023) which are not useful as experience. Now in 2024 I want to join btech at 28 years. As I can afford it with savings. Is it a good idea to start education again and graduate at 32.i'm confident I can complete the degree but Will I be able to get any job at 32 as fresher. I can't show experience for those 10 years because I worked in physical labour jobs which won't have any proofs.or should I just continue working in small jobs and grow in those jobs. Pls help me I'm interested in software field

Ans: Hello Sai, Good to learn about your motivation to puruse a career in software after obtaining a BTech degree. I hope you have brushed up your school leaving level mathematics. For me to get you speciific details do sahre the name of the city where you are located. Many States will permit you to enrol for an engineering degree program as an exception even though you may not be eligible for a Joint Engineering Entrance Exam. Looking forward to hearing for you soon.

What happens when a Mutual Fund company shuts down / gets sold off?
Ans: Hello;

If a mutual fund company gets sold or fails, the process is prescribed by SEBI:

In case MF company is Sold,
The new fund house may:
1. Continue the scheme with a new name and management.

2. Merge the scheme with similar funds and offer investors the option to exit without any exit load.

In case MF company shuts down,
The fund house will:
1. Pay out investors based on the fund's last recorded Net Asset Value (NAV) and the number of units the investor holds, after deducting expenses.

2. If the company is not in a position to do so then SEBI may liquidate the funds assets and distribute the proceeds to unit holders.

It is also pertinent to note that mutual fund regulation in India is one of the most stringent and hence best, from investor's point of view, globally.

This is not just in theory. We have seen how the Franklin Templeton abrupt closure of debt funds was handled with surgical precision, by SEBI, with no loss to unitholders.


Skin in the game regulation mandates that 20% salary of key mutual fund personnel and fund managers is paid in terms of units of their funds with a 3 year lock-in.

The stocks and bonds purchased by the AMC for the fund are held by a custodian, appointed by the trust that administers the fund.

The trust engages into a investment management agreement with the AMC for managing the fund as per their mandate and within regulatory guidelines.

Registrar and Transfer Agents handle the investor registration,kyc, maintaining records, providing account and tax statements etc.

Happy Investing;
