I am 45 years old man, currently working in Pharma company i have total experience of 21 years, I am currently doing SAP course in PP, in my current job i am End user of SAP, is a right move to change Carrer as SAP consultant can you please suggest on this

Ans: Himanshu Sir, Please stay in your current position until you achieve your goal of becoming a fully qualified SAP consultant. Please note, transitioning to a career in SAP consulting, particularly in Production Planning (PP), can be a promising move for those with 21 years of experience in the pharmaceutical sector. With a growing demand for SAP consultants across industries, this career offers industry knowledge, higher flexibility, and a lucrative career path. However, it's important to consider age, initial challenges, certification, and experience. To transition, complete the SAP PP course, gain practical experience through internships or project-based roles, network with experienced SAP consultants, target pharmaceutical or similar industries, and explore freelance or part-time consulting opportunities. With careful planning, you can position yourself for a rewarding second phase of your career. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future, Sir.

NEET, Medical, Pharmacy Careers - Answered on May 08, 2025

Asked by Anonymous - May 03, 2025

I am preparing for NEET UG. This is my second attempt. What alternatives I have if I am not able to score for GMCs. What are my options for bio tech I didn't apply for cuet. Which are best colleges for b tech in bio technology and how can I seek admission there without wasting any more of my time.
Ans: Hi,

I believe you might have completed the NEET for the second time on May 4, 2025, is that correct? What score are you aiming for? If you achieve a good score, you can aim for GMC; otherwise, consider any of the following courses:

- BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery)
- BSMS (Bachelor of Siddha Medicine and Surgery)
- BUMS (Bachelor of Unani Medicine and Surgery)
- BHMS (Bachelor of Homeopathic Medicine and Surgery)
- BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery)
- BNYS (Bachelor of Naturopathy and Yogic Sciences)

All of these courses are quite good.

Regarding your second query: Apart from NEET, you can pursue Pharmacy, Nursing, or Medical Lab Technology (MLT) instead of Biotechnology. Once you complete any of these programs, you are likely to find a job quickly. The order of preference I would recommend is Nursing, Pharmacy, and then MLT.

If you are still interested in Biotechnology, some private institutions offer the course. Before enrolling, it’s advisable to visit the campus and check the infrastructure as well as the syllabus. Many programs focus on botany-related aspects of biotechnology rather than human and animal applications. If you pursue Microbiology, you may have better job prospects.

In addition to health-related fields, you may also consider pursuing agriculture-related courses.

Since you did not provide information about your locality, I cannot comment on the best institutions available in your area.
