Career

Sir/Madam, I'm pursuing B. Tech in Food technology and I'll graduate in 2025. I want to pursue PhD after B. Tech in Food Science and Technology abroad. So please suggest me of its a better idea or do i have to study Masters?

Ans: If you get integrated Ph.D programme in USA you can go for it and after completion of 32 credits you can exit also with MS degree. If you pursue MS then I would recommend only MS. If you get Ph.D (integrated) then certainly don't go for Masters. I will be always showing you the correct path. There is hidden fire within you, I will only add a spark to ignite it which will take you to a great height. Be in my LINKEDIN list for having permanent counselling many times in future. Bye and best wishes. Professor

Sir I have completed my b.tech in food technology in 2018. I want to continue my education and pursue PhD in food technology. Would it be wise to go for MSC in food tech?..for personal reasons I can't go for m.tech outside my hometown as there are no Google colleges here that offer m.tech in food tech. Or should I apply for RRB NTPC exam. Would have gone for RRB JE but there is no place for a food tech graduate as far as I know. Do need your advice sir.

Ans: Thank you for getting in touch with me on Rediff Gurus. Deciding between pursuing an M.Sc. in food technology or applying for the RRB NTPC exam requires careful consideration of your career goals, personal circumstances, and long-term aspirations. I would suggest you set your priorities right. You should start looking for job prospects and career opportunities for food technology graduates in both academia and industry. There is a good demand for food technology professionals with advanced degrees in food technology; hence, evaluate whether pursuing a PhD or gaining work experience through government employment aligns better with your career goals. If your priority is to pursue a career in research, academia, or specialized roles in the food technology industry, pursuing an MSc and eventually a PhD may be the preferred path. On the other hand, if job stability, financial security, and government employment are your priorities, then exploring opportunities through the RRB NTPC exam may be more suitable today. By carefully evaluating your options and aligning your priorities with your goals and aspirations, you can make a decision that sets you on the path towards a fulfilling and rewarding career in food technology.

For Ms Biotechnology and Entrepreneurship was planning from USA, and for nutrition and dietetics which country will be best and what job roles I will be looking after it. Could tell what shall I go ahead with, as per the future prospects.

Ans: For Biotechnology & Entrepreneurship, studying in the USA offers strong startup ecosystems and networking opportunities. For Nutrition & Dietetics, countries like Canada, Australia, or the UK are excellent choices, with careers in clinical nutrition, public health, or wellness consulting. Future prospects in both fields are strong, so consider your interests and career goals to decide. Best regards

Career

Sir, which course is better for future btech food technology or btech biotechnology

Ans: Hi Prajwal

B.Tech in Food Technology focuses on food processing, safety, and quality control, with careers in the food industry. It has stable demand but more specialized job opportunities.
B.Tech in Biotechnology covers a broader range of biological sciences, offering diverse career options in healthcare, agriculture, and research. It has higher growth potential, especially in biotechnology and pharmaceuticals.

Biotechnology offers broader career prospects and growth, while Food Technology is more specialized with steady demand.

Hence, prefer biotechnology if possible.

Dear sir, I have purchased a property for which I need to pay Rs25 Lacs after 3 years. I am able to invest Rs60000 each month therefore could you suggest if I should open a Recurring Deposit with Bank or SIP with Hybrid mutual fund to maximize return in 3 years - Thanks

Ans: Hello;

Since money invested would be required after 3 years for payment towards property purchase, recurring deposit is a better option then equity savings type mutual fund.

The returns from equity savings type mutual fund may be higher but they are subject to market fluctuations so no point in taking that risk.

Happy Investing;

Question by Sumit - Sep 21, 2024Hindi

Career

Hello, i have 26 yrs of experience in the IT industry, and currently working as a consultant technical manager for important projects in several drdo labs in Hyderabad for the past few years. Despite being handson in coding, system design, I am also responsible for team management, deliverables, requirement analysis, and stakeholder management. I have an executive MBA from xlri and certification from pmi. Being 54 years of age, what are my options? Are there opportunities for people in the 50s? How about remote work or freelancing opportunities? I kind of find myself stuck and would like to explore opportunities. Any ideas? how to stay relevant in this ever changing world of technology?

Ans: Sumit Sir,
54-year-old with a strong background in the IT field, high-stakes projects, and an Executive MBA from XLRI can still stay relevant and look for opportunities. You can try for freelance consulting, work from home, coach, mentor, and train businesses in Agile methods, stakeholder handling, and team leadership.

To stay current, you can move into academic or research roles as an adjunct professor, work on research projects with universities or think tanks, or start your own business as a niche consultant.

To look for opportunities, make your LinkedIn profile stand out, share stories or insights, actively network, upskill strategically, and build a portfolio. Being old is an asset, but it's important to use it as a unique selling point and be flexible to stay competitive. By carefully using your skills and experience, you can open up many good opportunities and continue to thrive in the ever-changing tech world. All The Best for Your Prosperous Future.

Question by Abin - Sep 14, 2024Hindi

Career

I've just started my SSC preparation at the age of 24. I wasn't a good student during my graduation, so I only achieved 53% marks. However, I believe that if I give it my best, I can crack the SSC CGL exam because I have relatively good marks in my post-graduation (70%). My concern is whether there's any chance that SSC might introduce a minimum graduation percentage requirement for the CGL exam in the future. If they do, all my efforts could go to waste. Could someone clarify if there’s any possibility of SSC implementing such a requirement?

Ans: Abin, The future of SSC's qualifying requirements is uncertain, but it is suggested that the test's emphasis on merit rather than academic grades could be impacted. Performance in the selection process is more important than academic records for most government tests, including SSC CGL. Any changes to eligibility requirements would be made public, and transitional rules may be in place. To prepare, focus on aptitude, reasoning, and topic knowledge in SSC CGL. If concerned about changes, consider other options like state-level government exams or competitive tests. Stay updated on SSC's changes. All The Best for Your Prosperous Future.

Doctor, after two pregnancies and losing a lot of weight, I’m left with saggy skin and a bit of a tummy bulge that just won’t go away, no matter how much I exercise.
