Sir my age is 53 _ right now iam studying Data science _ 5 months course _ is there any possibility _ towards _ getting _ recruited

Ans: Hello
Salute to your determination to learn new technology and aim to earn! You did not mention, what you are doing at present or what job you have done in the past. Even it is also not clear that, do you have any basic computer skills or not. But apart from these parameters, age is less of a barrier in Data Science learning, and with the right skills and networking, you can secure job opportunities.
Remember, Data Science is a skills-based field, and companies often prioritize expertise and knowledge over age.
To get recruited, (1) improve your skills and certifications (2) increase your networking (3) continuously remain in touch with experts in DS and take guidance from them from time to time.

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

Question by Hanumanthrao - Jun 03, 2023Hindi

Career

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. If you want to change, you must look to upgrade your skills in AI and Data Science. These are the 2 skills which would be in high demand in the next 2 years and shift to a good company.

Ans: Did you finish your undergraduate degree (BCom) and your master's degree (MBA) at the same time in 2015? You can pursue CS with ICSI. On the other hand, you should have a Plan B and a Plan C, such as attempting to obtain some more Certifications for jobs and/or looking for jobs as you are already 32 years old.

Sir I am 53 years old B.E electrical engineering from NIT ROURKELA for the first 25yrs I was a electrical contractor doing odd works which caused a financial distress then in 2019 I joined in a friend's company and currently working as quality analyst lead but the salary is not enough so I want to do DATA SCIENCE and artificial intelligence masters to get a better job can it happen

Ans: To become expert in DATA SCIENCE and artificial intelligence you have to give a lot of effort. The world is very competitive. Chances of getting a better job in a new field at the age of 53 without any experience in that field is very less.

Money

purchased a property worth 1.6Cr. Taken a EMI through a bank. They have deducted a life insurance premium worth of Rs. 1,30,000/- . My question is if I change the banker, my premium may get shifted to the borrower bank or I have to pay again for the life insurance?

Ans: If it is a one time insurance premium then Insurance company refunds the pro-rate premium charged for future period of loan being shifted to other Bank. If premium is regular premium then there is no problem and you can have a new policy with the Bank where you have shifted the loan. This is the normal practice. Rest you enquire from your Banker.

Dating, Relationships Expert - Answered on Mar 09, 2026

Asked by Anonymous - Mar 09, 2026Hindi

Relationship

I don't believe in marriage but my partner does. He is 37, I am 32. We have been dating for 12 years and known each other as friends. Every time one of our friends get married, he tells me we should get married too. It sounds cute to my friends and family but I don't feel the need for it. We are good as a couple, we are there for each other. Everyone I know is aware that we are a couple. I don't mind moving in with him. But marriage is very complicated. I don't want that label to ruin what is beautiful between us. How do I convince him that we can love each other without getting married?

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
You are right, it is entirely possible to love each other forever without labelling it as a marriage but he is also right to want a commitment that is on paper as well. This is one of those situations where neither of you is wrong. You can try and explain your side in case your partner gets serious about getting married, but trying to convince him to give up what he wants is not fair. It is a tricky situation but I believe that clear communication from right now can dodge some unnecessary complications which might arise once your partner doesn’t just say “we should get married too” and moves on to “will you marry me?” Please have an open discussion about your views on marriage and his, and try to find a middle ground so that your relationship does not get affected.

Best Wishes.

Career

Hello sir Maine 2022- physics chemistry maths without English complete Kiya (UP BOARD) 2024- private se english kiya (UP BOARD) Uske baad mujhe neet dene ka man hua to 2026- is year BIO private (Up Board) se kar rha hu exam feb me ho gaye hai abhi march me neet ka form aagaye hai , kya mai eligible hu Filhal maine jee mains dekar 2023 me btech me admission liya tha abhi mai 3rd year me hu , mai neet dena chahta hu please clear and correct bataiye

Ans: Keshav,
Yes, you're eligible for NEET 2026. UP Board private exams count as valid 12th equivalent with PCB+English (Code 02)—Bio results post-Feb exams will confirm marks (need 50% aggregate PCB for general). BTech doesn't bar you; there is no attempt/upper age limit. However, I advise you to continue your BTech—don't drop UNTIL you secure a confirmed medical college seat via NEET. Switching streams midway is risky; keep options open and think hard before quitting engineering for medicine. ALL the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

I am pcb stream student currently 20 year old my father is a mutual fund distributor and I want to do the same job can any one help me how I can become better and should I do cfa or cfp

Ans: Before addressing your question, I’d like to share something from my experience working with students and parents. Choosing a career similar to your father’s is perfectly fine—but only if you are genuinely passionate about the financial investment field. It should be your interest, not just a family expectation. Now, let’s come to your question.
Go for Certified Financial Planner (CFP) to excel as a mutual fund distributor like your dad. CFP focuses on client financial planning—perfect for selling funds, building trust, and growing your practice in India—while CFA dives deep into investment analysis better for portfolio management jobs. CFP is quicker (months vs. years), cheaper, and directly boosts distributor credibility with clients and Asset Management Companies like HDFC, SBI, etc. First, pass NISM V-A: Mutual Fund Distributors Certification Examination (mandatory, easy entry post-12th) of the National Institute of Securities Markets. However, you must possess the following key skills: communication to explain funds simply, financial acumen for product picks, and also relationship-building for repeat business. ALL the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

i passed my 12th hsc (pcb) in 2024 without maths, and this year as in 2026 i appeared for maths isolated in hope that i would be eligible for maths based courses in all the IISERS. And i saw one of my friends’ isolated subjects’ marksheet and it doesn’t show that she had pcb or that she has given boards in 2024, it just shows maths without any percentage. So now that while filling my application i would say i’m appearing cause i’m still waiting for my maths results, my question is would it be enough for me to upload my isolated marksheet when my result comes or would i not be eligible for any IISERS at all. And that how would they know that i gave pcb subjects in 2024?

Ans: Yes, you're eligible for all IISERs. Upload both your 2024 PCB marksheet and isolated Maths marksheet (as improvement/additional) in the application. IISER verifies subjects via uploaded documents, not the marksheet alone. ALL the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!
