Sir my son is a class 12th commerce student with applied maths as additional subject. He is good in studies (scores 90%+) but is confused about the career .Should he opt for regular graduation and consider MBA/CFA thereafter or opt for correspondence graduation and pursue CA. Please suggest, also suggest any other available career option

Ans: Consider a Psychometric Test: If feasible, arrange a psychometric test for your son. This will help assess his interests, aptitude, attitude, learning style, and personality traits. The test report will provide valuable insights into the most suitable career options for him.

Prioritize Regular College Over Distance Learning: If financially and logistically possible, opt for a regular college over a distance learning (DLP/Correspondence) program. Regular college provides better exposure, structured learning, peer interaction, and placement opportunities. Distance learning should only be considered if attending a regular program is not an option due to financial or personal constraints. All the best for your son's admissions!

Maam, Need your advice for my son's Carrer. Currently he is pursuing PU I - Commerce. In fact, he has only selected the course and pursue CA, even though he was having better % in 10th Board exam. Few challenges - Teenage related problem and more time on Gadget. - Time management. - As a parent we are very much worried about his future and tried our level best to explain, But somehow things are not moving in proper direction Kindly advise if there is a way, we can put him back to the track and focus on the studies for his betterment
Ans: Dear Balaji,
The distractions in this Digital Age are many and in a way, I do believe that if you want to see your child change, it begins at home.
Time Management is one of the most essential factors while studying for competitive exams and electronic gadgets can throw that off gear. Put down a gadget-free time at home where every member adheres to it. When your son sees everyone at home doing this, it becomes less of a resistance for him to turn in his gadget.
As for better focus, it's time he takes responsibility else you will be constantly hand-holding him. He needs to understand that not paying attention to studies in only going to result in poor grades. Let him realize that on his own.
A few ways to improve focus:
- sports or any physical activity for at 40 mins every day
- drawing/painting/any creative activity that he enjoys for at least 15 mins every day
- mind exercises to improve focus find videos on the internet on this)
- no nagging from family members as they only result in rebelling from the other side
- being supportive as parents BUT shifting responsibility to him

You can only try if these work. Usually parents throw their hands up in the air and say: I have done all this, nothing works!
Well, your children and when something does not work, try something else to make things work, right? I am this will work...

All the best!

Relationship
Hello madam, I am a 35 year-old software Engineer from Pune. I am living with my wife, sister and mother in a joint-family setup. My wife and sister both are working. I got married in Dec 2022. Last year due to project ramp-down, my wife had to move to Hyderabad for work. During that time, only she was living in Hyderabad in a rented flat, I was still trying to search for a job in Hyderabad. But after 6 months, around March 2025, her project in Hyderabad got ramped down again. She tried searching for jobs in pune and hyderabad, but she could only get interview calls from Pune. So ultimately had to settle back with us in pune. She does have a regret moving back to Pune. Now after 2-3 months of moving back to Pune, one night she started picking up a fight with me and she said she doesn't like a joint family setup, and wants to move in a seperate apartment. She is too much attached to Hyderabad City ,that she was forcing me to search for a job in Hyderabad. I explained her that last year also I was trying a lot for a job in Hyderabad, but couldn't get a decent job, and I am still trying to search for a job in Hyderabad but due to tough market situation and some bad luck unable to get a good opportunity. I also said we can move to another rented flat in pune as well, but she is still adamant about moving to Hyderabad. I tried to explain her that it would be easy for me to attend any family emergencies related to my mother or sister of we at least stay in the same city, but nothing works. My sister is suffering from clinical depression and due to this, she is still unmarried. We did tried to search a suitable alliance for her but we were unsuccessful. This also upsets her a lot, and the fact that my mother and my sister are financially and emotionally dependent on me, makes my wife sad and angry. I do always to make things work for her , but the fact that I also have to look after my mother and sister brings problem in our marriage. My mother is a single parent hence the reason she is dependent on me. My sister is working but her income is not that much that if I stopped supporting, the household will work. Now I am highly anxious that if I really don't get a job in Hyderabad, how things will take shape for me and my family. Things do look quite scary at this time, trying to convince my wife to look for rented flat in pune but no luck yet.
Ans: Dear Siddharth,
You seem to be fair in requesting your wife to shift to another place in Pune which will take care of your family and your wife as well...
What seems to be the issue with that for her? What is in Hyderabad that is not there in Pune?
Is she worried that your family will drop by without informing?
Does she worry that you will be neglecting her and attend to only your family?

Anything that seems unreasonable usually has a hidden reason behind it; she's not sharing what exactly the issue is or she is yet to figure it out herself. My suggestion to you is to have a good heart to heart chat with her where you address her concerns and share yours, so that she understands you as well...The only way to solve issues is to come to meeting point and then find a win-win...

All the best!

Anu Hi. I'm in a really stressful situation and I don't know how to handle it. A few years ago, I was in a relationship with a woman who turned out to be extremely manipulative and possessive. I ended things with her long before I met my wife. I've moved on completely and I'm happily married now. But my ex hasn't. I recently discovered that she has been stalking my wife on social media, creating fake accounts, and even sending her threatening messages. Some of them are nasty and borderline disturbing. She is sharing details about our past relationship that are not relevant. My wife is scared and upset, and it's starting to create unnecessary tension between us. She's beginning to question my past and wonder why this woman still feels entitled to harass her. I really don't want to involve the police or escalate this legally. I want to avoid drama, because I'm also worried it might provoke my ex even further. I just want this to stop. I'm trying to protect my marriage and my wife's peace of mind, but I feel helpless. My wife doesn't respond to her but the details still bother her. What is the right way to handle this without making it worse? How do I reassure my wife, and is there a non-legal way to make my ex back off for good? Am I wrong for trying to avoid police action in a situation like this?
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
If you have nothing to hide from your wife, why worry what your ex will do even if take the legal route?
I think your wife deserves her peace of mind and to actually go the legal way to stop your ex is okay in my opinion especially if she's begun to harass...Don't you think?
A woman that loves you will be reassured only when she feels safe with her man; what are you doing to ensure that?
For starters,
- come clean (if there's anything left to share) with your wife; this will ensure that your ex does not use that to blackmail you
- love your wife even more; actions will matter more than words at this point in time
- do not attempt to meet, text or contact your ex without a legal backing; she may use this against you

You are not wrong in avoiding police action or legal recourse as it can be a lot to handle, but if you are left with no option and your marriage is falling apart, do what it takes to save it...

All the best!

IIT Hyderabad Mechanical Vs BITS Pilani CSE, which one to choose
Ans: IIT Hyderabad’s B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering operates under AICTE approval and NBA accreditation within a combined Mechanical & Aerospace department, led by 36 Ph.D.-qualified faculty engaged in industry-funded projects, and equipped with RF, VLSI, smart-grid, and design-manufacturing labs. Its curriculum integrates core mechanics, thermofluids, and design streams with research collaborations with DRDO and ISRO. Placement performance for Mechanical Engineering records a 53.70% placement rate over the past three years, with an average package of 18.71 LPA. Robust student support includes a Career Development Centre, technical clubs, and mentorship programs.

BITS Pilani’s B.Tech in CSE, a NAAC A++–accredited program, features a storied department founded in 1971, over 900 faculty across campuses, state-of-the-art AI, data science, and software engineering labs, and global Practice School internships. Its placement cell secures an 82.75% overall placement rate with first-degree students—CSE branch sees virtually all hires—and average packages of 19.70 LPA. Strong alumni networks, active coding societies, and career-readiness workshops further bolster student outcomes.

Recommendation: Considering higher placement consistency, cutting-edge computing infrastructure, and near-universal campus hires, choosing BITS Pilani’s CSE program best maximizes immediate employability and industry immersion, whereas IIT Hyderabad’s Mechanical Engineering offers specialized research exposure and emerging core-engineering opportunities. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!
