They provide comprehensive range of courses to not only fresh graduates but also to others regardless of other background/graduation year.

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

I have a 7-year-old boy who thinks he’s a superhero (and honestly, he’s got the energy for it). The thing is, he’s constantly on the move—running, jumping, climbing—you name it. While I love his enthusiasm, his teachers have mentioned that he’s having trouble sitting still and focusing in class. I don’t want to stifle his energy, but I also don’t want him to struggle academically. Any practical advice would be great!

Ans: Please consult a child psychologist

Insurance is an understanding that works on mutual trust.

You need to make appropriate disclosures before signing up and also before renewal, if you were diagnosed with any major illness/medical condition.

Please inform the insurance company about this before next renewal.

Hello Milind Sir, On the EPF portal, my bank account is my salary account. This account is a joint account with my younger brother. I am a male too. Will this joint account be a problem when I try to withdraw my EPF corpus? I heard only joint account with spouse is allowed for withdrawal apart from single holder account. Should I convert this joint account to a single holder account immediately now or do it after I resign/retire when I want to withdraw the EPF corpus?

Ans: Hello;

It is advisable to convert the bank account to a single holder account as early as possible.
