My son is in 4th year ece engineering with a very low CGPA. Also has multiple backlogs. He struggles with math based subjects. He has a passion for electronics and has won intercolllege robotics competetions. He is dyslexic. What are his options for career now?

Ans: Hi. Your son is in 4th year i.e. soon he will get the degree. Don't think more about CGPA and backlogs. Look like, from 12th, he was weak in maths and hence might lost his interest in Engg. But if he has a passion of electronics and then and won some competitions, then go for diploma robotics courses. He will excel in it. Continue his career in Electronics + Robotics. The coming days are of AI and Robots.

Career
My son is a third year engineering (EEE) from Bangalore. He is a bright child but his CGPA is quite low and as of now, he says he doesn't not want to pursue this field for masters. Earlier, the plan was to do Masters in US but the slump in IT has made us rethink that option. What are his career options? Will it possible to get into good colleges with a CGPA below 8.
Ans: Hello,

First and foremost, thank you for getting in touch with us. I am happy to hear that your son is currently pursuing the third year of his Engineering degree. To answer your question first, I would like to tell you that although a low CGPA can pose difficulties, it is not always a deciding element to achieve future success. Remember that people with a background in electrical engineering can opt from a broad range of job opportunities. Beyond earning a master's degree, your son can consider other professional pathways. He can take into account jobs in sectors viz., automation, renewable energy, telecommunications, or even opt for a career in the field of data science, business analytics, or software development. I would recommend that your son acquires hands-on experience through taking up entry-level jobs or engaging in internships. Not just that, bear in mind that getting in touch with and developing a robust job portfolio can help make up for a lower CGPA. In order to boost his abilities and for him to become a suitable candidate for employers, your son should also consider pursuing specialized courses or certificates.

Talking about higher studies, other than the GPA, several other variables viz., letters of recommendation, pertinent professional experience, as well as personal essays are also taken into account by certain universities. I would suggest that your son conducts an all-round study and applies to universities that take a comprehensive approach towards the admission process. While the entry prerequisites to top-notch universities may be strict, there are outstanding programs that take into account an applicant’s holistic profile. In order for your son to make an educated choice concerning his future, I would suggest that he acquires advice from experts in the industry as well as from academic advisors.

Money
Hi Sir, I'm 43+, My Monthly take home is around 3.40 Lacs, Currently i have invested in Shares (Current Portfolio is around 1.40 Crs). EMI is around 1.2 lacs P/m (Home loan 1 - 50K per month till 2037, 30K car loan till 2027 (Planning to close this year by paying 13 lacs, please suggest if this option of preclosure is good or EMI is good, will be paying this amount by selling some shares), 30k per month of home 2 till 2040., Last year i have started investing in SIP 1 lacs P/M, and balance 1.20 lacs goes in house, kids education expense. Have EPF balance of 40 lacs as on date. As mentioned above recently i have started investing in SIP (From Oct 2023 onwards), which is at the tune of 1 lacs per month. SIP are Franklin India Prima Fund regular Plan - Growth - 25K, ICICI Prudential Small cap fund retail plan G - 25K, Kotak Multicap fund regular plan growth - 15K, DSP Blackrock mid cap fund regular plan growth - 10 K, and Parag Parikh Flexi Cap fund - Regular plan growth - 25 K. Will increase the SIP investment by 10% every year going forward. Sir, My question is with current SIP and shares investment will i be able to generate 10~12 Cr corpus fund by retirement (Assuming that i will be in Job and working for next 15 years). Current Share portfolio is for long term investment only (assuming i get 12~15% of return every year). Please note : will be spending around 60~70 Lacs for my Son education in engineering from 2027 to 2031, 50% will be spend from savings and balance 50% from education loan. Current value of house 1 - 1.35 Cr (EMI is 50K), House 2 Current Value is 82 Lacs (EMI is 30K).
Ans: Hello;

Kudos for holding judicious blend of assets in equity(stocks and MFs), real estate, EPF.

Your thought process is absolutely spot on. You should prepay the car loan through shares corpus and close the EMI.

If you maintain monthly sip of 1 L with yearly top-up of 10% for 15 years then you may accumulate a corpus of around 8.68 Cr.

Stock holding of 1.27 Cr(13 L considered to be deducted for car loan prepayment) is expected to grow into a sum of 5.31 Cr in 15 years.

EPF balance of 40 L will grow into a corpus of 1.27 Cr over 15 years. Fresh contributions, if any, will be bonus.

So cumulatively your total corpus at the end of 15 years from now will be 8.68+5.31+1.27=15.26 Cr.

Due to your sound financial planning you may not need education loan for son's education.

Modest return of 12%, 10% and 8% are considered from mutual funds, direct stocks and EPF respectively.

Happy Investing;

Doctor, could you kindly recommend specific brands of toothpaste suitable for children of different age groups? I’m particularly interested in knowing which brands would best support their dental health at various stages of development, considering factors like fluoride content, flavor, and overall safety. Could you provide guidance on which options are most effective for toddlers, young children, and older kids?
Ans: Hello
For toddlers and young children, it's essential to choose a toothpaste that is safe and effective for their developing teeth and gums. Here are some recommendations:

1. *Fluoride-free toothpaste* (0-2 years): For infants and toddlers, a fluoride-free toothpaste is recommended. Look for a toothpaste specifically designed for this age group, like "Baby Toothpaste" or "Training Toothpaste". Please note that Fluoride, although extremely beneficial when used locally can lead to fluorosis if accidentally ingested. This is the reason toddlers need to use fluoride-free toothpastes.

2. *Children's toothpaste with low fluoride* (2-6 years): For young children, a toothpaste with a low fluoride concentration (around 500-600 ppm) is suitable. This helps prevent fluorosis (white spots on teeth) while still providing cavity protection.

3. *Gentle ingredients*: Opt for a toothpaste with gentle ingredients, to minimize irritation.

5. *Flavor and texture*: Select a toothpaste with a child-friendly flavor and texture to make brushing teeth a fun experience!

Most popular toothpaste brands offer multiple options for toddlers and young children.
In addition to these there are a few brands specially formulated for children which are ethically promoted (not commercially advertised, but sold through chemists on dentists' prescriptions) You may speak to your child's dentist for specific recommendations.

Remember to always supervise your child while brushing teeth and teach them proper oral hygiene habits from an early age!
