Anyway, to begin with, please search for any 'Software Training & Placement Institutes' either in your location or nearby city. To get an idea about this type of Institute, visit the website of 'Besant Technologies'. They provide comprehensive range of courses to not only fresh graduates but also to others regardless of other background/graduation year.

Some of the institutes provide job assistance and even give job guarantee (based on your performance during training/interview).

Please check and go through the above Institute's Website (as an example) and search for same type of Institutes, personally visit some institutes (especially those which assures job), choose the right course for you and join.

As far as Data Science is concerned, this type of Institute also provided the same.

Dear Sir, Im running 53 age, basically im BA + PGDHRM Graduate +Computer course Now iam a private company employee working as Sr.Executive office, i have blindly worked 17 years in our existing company without any strong financial benifits. and having low salary. Now I decided to do data science or any company work related course for my better carrier for remaining work period. so, my question is, can i get a better job in any company in this age, and also please inform me which course is better to me for my remaining future. (short term course). Now im working perfectly in MS Office & Tally.etc. please guide.

Ans: Dear Mr. Rao,
As you are already 53 and would be reaching superannuation in a few years, it is advisable to stick to the same company.

Money

Sir , i am 57yrs old. within 1 yr i am retired. So pls guide me , how i invest 30 laks in swp system and how many return from here . Also request you suggest the mf name where i invest.

Ans: You can invest 30 Lac as lumpsum in conservative hybrid(debt oriented) fund. Based on 5 year return yardstick Kotak hybrid debt fund and SBI Conservative hybrid fund are the 2 recommendations.

It will be better if you stay invested in this fund for 5 year and let the corpus grow. After 5 years you can expect a corpus of around 50 Lacs(10%+ return assumed)

Then you can start your SWP at the rate of say 5% per year which will translate into monthly payout of around 21K.

However if you need immediate pension then you can invest in PO monthly income scheme(7.4% rate;5yr tenure) upto 9 L in your name and another 9 L in the name of your spouse or other family member. It is a safe scheme since backed by GOI. For the balance 12 L you can do 3 FDs of 4 L each in reputed banks.

*Investments in mutual funds are subject to market risks. Please read all scheme related documents carefully before investing

Career

Hi sir Our child joined computer engineering in NIAMT Ranchi. Is there need certificate courses? If yes which courses preferable?pls advise.

Ans: Manohar Sir, Additional skills/certifications are mandatory to be competitive in the job market. Most Recruiters/Companies recognize one of the best & most affordable online certification programs offered by NPTEL. Suggest your son to go through the site to get an idea. Their video lectures are free. You will have to pay only the Exam Fee which will be conducted offline. He can join those certification courses, recommended by his College Faculties. There are other Online Certification Platforms but comparatively, it will be costlier. Advise him to have a Professional LinkedIn Profile and keep updating it every 3 months. Also to put job alerts in LinkedIn, related to his domain, to know the current/changing job market trends. He can start doing online certifications after his 1st semester. No hurry Sir now. All the BEST for Your Son's Bright Future, Sir.

sir, i am in class 12th (pcb) rn and i am preparing for NEET but i don't have that much interest in it. I have interest in forensic science and i want to pursue it. i am ready to give any exam that i can for good college. I also want a good job with good money after everything (college...etc). I am a decent student, more than average i can say. But we have some financial problem for college only (personal family matter) so i am rely on scholarship. please guide me what should i do and how?........Thank you very much

Ans: You should prepare and appear for CUET for getting admission into UG Forensic Science with any one of the State / Central Universities providing this course. You should be aware that economically weak girls are eligible for scholarships provided by Govt. which you can apply for, after getting confirmed admission into any UG program (but should have been approved by AICTE). Also please note, your family income should be less than 8.00 lacs to be eligible for Scholarships. All the BEST for Your Bright Future.
