I am bit confused about my career and I can’t reconnect with my myself what should so that I can excel in my studies and converge all my focus at one place

Ans: Hi!! It would have been nice to know your age, what you are doing right now and what is that you are confused about. Nevertheless… you reached out, you put your thoughts on paper, that in itself is a great job!!
Whatever you are pursuing right now, just finish it… finish what you start, that’s the first thing!
Next task is if you are confused, you are not alone, life is a lived experience, you can’t be rigid about it! Life is a series of experiments till you find out what is that you really want to do, Some people get it right quickly, some people take time, it’s your journey, just live it well! As a student, give your 100% in your studies… keep life simple … eat well, sleep well, play well, study well. Doing these 04 simple activities is simple, rt?
Anything that comes in the way of doing the four activities well, you need to chuck it away! If you can add a guided meditation to your daily routine , then the focus on studies is definitely going to improve.All the best!

Hello sir, I'm 25 now, I completed M.A in economics in 2021, I started preparing for ugc net economics exam, I didn't clear yet, also given other competitive exams, nothing worked, in 2022 I worked as a counsellor for 6 months, I quit that job I didn't liked that. Now I'm confused I don't have any clue what I should do next. I'm unemployed now for all these years. I'm losing the curiosity to study and I haven't figured anything out. Your suggestions really matters me. Thank you.

Ans: Hello,

You are at the crossroads of life and were lured by the competitive exams.
Where you are one in million appearing, realise that this is not the only way to get employed.

I suggest you design a powerful resume not more than 2 pages.
Go directly to the websites of relevant organisation's, go to careers apply for the job's that suit your profile.

If you do need further professional advice happy to assist

Hello Ashwini Mam, I am a 24-year-old guy who has done bachelor's in arts ( English, Political Science, Sociology)[Pvt] and after two years of gap I started my Masters of Arts in Eng. Literature [Pvt]. But I feel totally lost about my career path. In this age of AI, I don't know which path I should take, government or corporate and even which field, should I do a tech degree or MBA. I was depressed for a year and wasted it trying to figure out what I wanted to do but still couldn't get to a conclusion. There are so many options and that overwhelms me and confuses me. I need some serious clarity which I am not able to get by myself.

Ans: Follow what you feel most passionate about. While AI and other emerging fields will continue to evolve, don’t let that influence or cloud your decision. Focus on what truly excites you and feels right. Pursue certifications or additional learning as needed to support your choice.

Hope this helps!
Thanks,
Ashwini

Greetings to Gurus, I am student from Kolkata,West Bengal. I have completed my ISC in year 2020 from Commerce stream without maths. I am from Lower Middle Class Family, finance is big issue for me. After ISC I enrolled in B.COM(Hons) course from a college under Calcutta University. I was ambitious of being Chef from childhood. But during Covid times and finance problem, I haven't pursued. During my college life, My first three semesters completed online in Covid period, after the lockdown period, my fourth semester got offline and I just passed in one paper out of 4 and then my 5th semester exam got cleared after that I appeared for rest 3 papers of sem 4 and cleared 2 papers and in sixth semester cleared 3 paper out of 4. Again in 2024, I appeared for 6th sem 1 backlog paper and cleared it but don't able to clear 4th sem one backlog paper. So, I have started my UG in year 2020 but not able to clear it till 2024 because of 1 paper(Taxation) and I have last option to reappear in 2025 examination. I want to earn good in my life, suggest me some opportunities and a way to get out from this loop. Mentally getting depress also.

Ans: Hello! First of all, I really appreciate that you're sharing your situation openly. I understand that you're going through a tough time, but I want to assure you that there are always ways to move forward. You are not stuck, and there are opportunities for you to earn well and build a good career.
Step 1: Clear Your B.Com Degree (Important)
You have only one backlog paper (Taxation) left. Make it your #1 priority to clear this in 2025 because having a degree will open more opportunities.
You already passed all other subjects, so just focus on this one. If needed, get help from a tutor or YouTube courses on Taxation.
ccounting & Taxation (?25,000 - ?60,000 per month)
Since you already studied B.Com, this is a natural career path.
Learn Tally, GST Filing, Income Tax Filing.
Free courses: Government’s NPTEL, YouTube (Search “GST Filing Course India”)
I believe in you. Take the first step today! Your situation will improve within 1 year.

My daughter got an rank of 2896 sc in IISER .Is there any chance of getting admission in IISER

Ans: With an SC rank of 2,896 in the IISER IAT 2025, admission to any IISER is not possible, even in the last round. Recent official closing ranks show that the most accessible IISERs (like Berhampur and Tirupati) closed SC category admissions at 4,484 and 4,325 respectively, but these are overall ranks; for SC category, most IISERs—including Mohali (3,034), Bhopal (3,136), Thiruvananthapuram (3,447)—had closing ranks lower than your daughter’s. For SC candidates, a safe rank is typically below 2,000 for most IISERs, with only a few newer campuses occasionally going slightly higher depending on vacancy and demand. The key aspects every IISER maintains—qualified faculty, advanced labs, strong research culture, industry partnerships, and robust placement/career support—are accessible only to those within the cutoff range.

Recommendation: With a 2,896 SC rank, IISER admission is unlikely; focus on alternative science programs at state universities or private institutes where her academic strengths and interests can be nurtured in a quality research environment. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
