Ans: Dear , When you are asking question , pl mention your state or location to suggest suitable job or organisation . Having M.Tech in BIo Technology is a remarkable achievement but only concern is you are 38yrs and No job experience. I must suggest you to try for teaching in any near by good college having subject of your choice. Even coaching institutes can help in urgent job . If you stay in city like Hyderabad, Mubai, Ahmedabad/ Pune /Chennai , I am sure there are many pharma companies where you can find job in their R&D deptt. To apply , you must have the names

Dear Sir, I have another question: I have been investing in the Bajaj Allianz Life Goal Assurance Plan for the past five years, which is a combination of insurance and investment. The total premium payment duration is 10 years, with a SIP of ?10,000 per month, followed by a lock-in period of an additional 5 years So far, my monthly contributions of ?10,000 have grown to ?9.40 lakhs, with an approximate CAGR of 16%, although the insurance coverage remains at ?12 lakhs. Initially, I did not have much knowledge but continued investing due to the plan’s market-linked structure. For the first five years, my funds were allocated to Pure Stock II and Equity Growth funds basically large-cap. Recently, mid-cap and small-cap index funds were also added to their portfolio. Now that I’ve completed 5 years of investing in large-cap components, I am considering allocating the remaining 5 years to mid-cap and small-cap funds, without increasing the SIP. This would be done through a fund switch from large-cap to mid-cap and small-cap or by dividing the allocation equally—25% each across pure-stock, equity growth, mid-cap, and small-cap funds. Would you recommend this strategy while allowing the large-cap corpurs from the first 5 years to grow at their own pace and remaining 5 years switched into mid-cap/small-cap. Since the policy will mature in 2034, this gives me ample time for the investment to grow, allowing the corpus to build significantly over the remaining years
Ans: Since you are looking for 10 year time horizon, I recommend you divide the allocation equally(25%) across pure stock, equity growth, midcap index and small cap quality index funds.

Happy Investing!!

I am bsc cbz(chemistry botany zoology) 2nd semester student in bikaner rajasthan and my age is 22 and general category and want to pursue research msc than phd but confused about the scope in india in research field i am from middle class family . I dont want to become a school/ coaching teacher but can look for assistant professor and i am not interested in doing msc in chemistry or physics want to do in biotechnology microbiology etc. please help me ????????
Ans: Hello APRK.
You can pursue an M.Sc. and aim to go for P.Hd. There is a lot of scope for research field in India. To become an assistant professor, you must have a minimum qualification of M.Sc. If you are not interested in M.Sc. Chemistry / Physics, then you can go with Biotechnology Microbiology. This is also a good option for you.
In my opinion, there is no point in diversifying yourself without any reason. The correct path is B.Sc. then M.Sc. and then P.Hd. Join as an assistant professor in any college and even though you don't want to join any school/college, you can join any big coaching center or start your coaching. Without any confusion at this stage, just focus on your B.Sc. and try to excel In it with a high %tile for a better future in PG and P.Hd. While pursuing a B.Sc., if possible join some computer courses related to AI, Website development, Mastering Excel, Business Automation, etc. to have an added advantage from a job placement point of view.

If you are dissatisfied with the reply, please ask again without hesitation.
If satisfied, please like and follow me.
Thanks.
