Dear Sir, My son is completing his Bachelor's of Physiotherapy and he is interested to pursue his Master's in Sports Physiotherapy or Sports & Exercise Medicine abroad which is costing around 40 lac plus. Please suggest me whether pursuing Masters abroad with high budget involved will make him better professionally, if so which country/University is best for pursuing Master's.

Ans: Hi Ravi....Greetings
Pursuing a Master's in Sports Physiotherapy or Sports & Exercise Medicine abroad can indeed be a valuable investment in your son's professional future. These fields are highly specialized, and studying abroad can provide access to advanced research, state-of-the-art facilities, and practical experience with elite athletes. Countries like the UK, Australia, and Canada are renowned for their programs in sports sciences and physiotherapy, offering globally recognized degrees that can enhance his career prospects. Graduates from these programs often find opportunities in professional sports teams, rehabilitation centers, and research institutions, which could lead to a fulfilling and lucrative career.

However, it's important to carefully weigh the financial investment against the potential returns. The cost of education abroad, especially when factoring in living expenses, can be significant. Ensuring that the chosen program and university offer strong industry connections, placement opportunities, and pathways to work in the country post-graduation will be crucial. Universities like the University of Queensland in Australia, Loughborough University in the UK, and the University of British Columbia in Canada are among the top choices for these fields. Each has strong ties to the sports industry and a track record of successful alumni, making them worthwhile options to consider.

Regards.

Good day Sir. My son is in final year MBBS and shall graduate in 2025 and complete his compulsory internship in a April 2026 . He does not prefer Family Medicine or paediatric medicine and he has not finalized his passion for any particular stream yet. He wants to do his Masters from UK or USA. I understand USMLE is required for USA and PLAB is required for UK studies. My queries are : 1. What are expenses for completing USMLE and PLAB ? 2. What are possibilities of getting Residencies in USA / UK ? 3. Shall he require additional financial support after getting Residencies ? Pros and Cons of studies in both the countries ? 5. Any specific requirement for studies abroad ? 6. Finally, your suggestion as to where my son should do his Masters after completing his MBBS in India ? I shall appreciate your valuable guidance . Thanks and regards Sujit Roy
Ans: Hi Sujit,
Hello,

I am pleased to learn that your son will be completing his MBBS next year and is considering pursuing higher education. From your query, it seems that you are contemplating whether he should pursue his higher education abroad. There are several factors that need to be taken into consideration before making a decision. Some of these factors include:

1. He will need to clear the USMLE or PLAB exams, which will require dedicated effort. Until he completes these exams, he will require both financial and moral support.

2. The specialization he is interested in pursuing is a crucial factor to consider.

3. The choice of university will also play a significant role, as it may impact the availability of financial aid.

4. Additionally, it is important to weigh the pros and cons of studying in the USA or the UK and make an informed decision based on the specifics of each country.

Ultimately, the decision about his higher education should be made based on your financial circumstances and the support that can be provided without undue strain.

But i feel USA is better option when compare to UK.

"All the best to your son for his future endeavors."

I am looking forward to send my son for Masters abroad. He is presently pursuing BPharm in SRM KTR campus 3rd year, 7th semester. I would like to have a few suggestions about some universities, specially Europe their admission procedures, place to contact in India and expected costs. Thanking you
Ans: Hello,

To begin with, thank you for contacting us. I am happy to hear that your son is currently pursuing his 7th semester of BPharm at SRM KTR. I would like to let you know that he has excellent choices for obtaining a Master’s in Europe. You would be glad to know that outstanding programs in Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Sciences, and associated life sciences fields are offered in countries such as Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, the UK, and Ireland. Germany is home to leading universities such as LMU Munich and Heidelberg University that offer minimal to no tuition fees, although proficiency in Germany may be required by certain programs. The monthly cost of living is approximately €850. Outstanding English-taught programs are offered in the Netherlands and Sweden (e.g., Utrecht, Lund University), with tuition fees ranging from €10,000–€17,000 and similar costs of living. With tuition fees costing between €13,000 to £28,000 and higher living expenses, countries like the UK (UCL, King’s) and Ireland (Trinity Dublin) are more expensive. To secure admission, students typically need to have secured a good BPharm score, submit scores of the IELTS or TOEFL, as well as documents such as Statement of Purpose (SOPs) and letters of recommendation. Bear in mind that the application deadlines and prerequisites for each country is different, thus, I would suggest that you begin planning a year in advance.

My married ex still texts me for comfort. Because of him, I am unable to move on. He makes me feel guilty by saying he got married out of family pressure. His dad is a cardiac patient and mom is being treated for cancer. He comforts me by saying he will get separated soon and we will get married because he only loves me. We have been in a relationship for 14 years and despite everything we tried, his parents refused to accept me, so he chose to get married to someone who understands our situation. I don't know when he will separate from his wife. She knows about us too but she comes from a traditional family. She also confirmed there is no physical intimacy between them. I trust him, but is it worth losing my youth for him? Honestly, I am worried and very confused.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand how difficult it is to let go of a relationship you have built from scratch, but is it really how you want to continue? It really seems to be going nowhere. His parents are already in bad health and he married someone else for their happiness. Does it seem like he will be able to leave her? So many people’s happiness and lives depend on this one decision. I think it’s about time you and your BF have a clear conversation about the same. If he can’t give a proper timeline, please try to understand his situation. But also make sure he understands yours and maybe rethink this equation. It really isn’t healthy. You deserve a love you can have wholly, and not just in pieces, and in the shadows.

Hope this helps

IIT-JEE, NEET-UG, SAT, CLAT, CA, CS Exam Expert - Answered on Dec 04, 2025

My son will be appearing for JEE Main & JEE Advanced 2026 and will participate in JoSAA Counselling 2026. I request clarification regarding the GEN-EWS certificate date requirement for next year. I have already applied for an EWS certificate for current year 2025, and the application is under process. However, I am unsure whether this certificate will be accepted during JoSAA 2026, or whether candidates will be required to submit a fresh certificate for FY 2026–27 (issued on or after 1 April 2026). My concern is that if JoSAA requires a certificate issued after 1 April 2026, students will have only 1–1.5 months to complete the entire procedure, which is difficult considering normal government processing timelines. Also, during current JEE form filling, students are asked to upload a GEN-EWS certificate issued on or after 1 April 2025, or an application acknowledgement. This has created confusion among parents regarding which year’s certificate will finally be valid at the time of counselling. I request your kind guidance on: Which GEN-EWS certificate will be accepted for JoSAA Counselling 2026 — a certificate for FY 2025–26 (issued after 1 April 2025), or a new certificate for FY 2026–27 (issued after 1 April 2026)?
Ans: Hi
You need not worry about the EWS certificate. Even if you apply for the next year's certificate on 1 Apr 2026, the second session of JEE MAINS will still be held, followed by JEE ADVANCED, which will be held in May. JOSAA starts in June. so you will have 2 months in hand for fresh EWS certificate.
