Sir currently its October in my last attempt i scored 456 i thought of going gor bds but now my parents want me to give another shot and try for mbbs as its my first priority as i am late to join coaching how should i cover my syllabus

Ans: Hello.
With a score of 456, it is not recommended to take a chance of another shot (i.e. repeat) for the NEET examination. Yet you are forced by your parents to repeat the examination. I think the decision by you and your parents might have taken soon the result was out. Since then what have you been doing? You say it is October! Soon it will turn to Nov then Dec and then Jan .....! Instead of counting on the remaining days/months, it is better to focus on your studies The NEET examination is in May 2025. Yet you have a full 6 and a half months! From the syllabus, you better know what you know and what not! Prepare the list of weak topics from all subjects. Focus on them and try to excel in the weak topics.
Here are some tips:
(1) Focus on weak topics
(2) Set the goal to revise the entire syllabus a minimum of 3-4 times.
(3) Join a good coaching/personal tutor.
(4) Join a test series that is available in OFFLINE mode.
(5) Try to solve previous years' question papers
(6) Prepare your self-notes, a list of important formulas,
(7) Do a nice collection of "synopsis" from all the reputed NEET books.
(8) Write your subject-wise difficulties in the specially prepared notebook and ask them on the same day or at most the next day to the concerned teacher.
(9) Arrange all the question papers with their keys in a file. This will help at the time of revision.
(10) Keep a safe distance from your gadgets as far as possible.

Nothing is hard/impossible in life. Best of luck for your upcoming NEET examination.

If dissatisfied with the reply, please ask again without hesitation.
Thanks.

But i am now totally focusing on my boards ma'am.
Ans: Hello Shrishti,

Here are some tips for preparing for NEET and improving your physics:

Focus on understanding the concepts: NEET is an exam that tests your understanding of concepts and their applications. So, it's important to focus on understanding the concepts rather than just memorizing them. This can help you to solve different types of questions.

Work on your weak areas: Identify your weak areas and work on them. For example, if your physics is weak, try to understand the concepts by watching videos or reading different books. Practice solving problems related to those concepts regularly.

Practice previous year question papers: Solving previous year question papers can help you to get an idea about the exam pattern and the type of questions that can be asked in the exam.

Take mock tests: Mock tests can help you to identify your strengths and weaknesses. It can also help you to manage your time during the exam.

Choose the right study materials: Apart from NCERT books, you can refer to other study materials like coaching center notes, reference books, etc. For solving multiple-choice questions, you can use books like Objective Physics by DC Pandey or Objective Biology by Dinesh.

Though the cutoff keeps changing every year, getting a good college for your category requires at least 450+ marks.

I would suggest don't think of taking a drop right now and focus completely now on NEET. Once the results are out then we will look after the further steps.

All the best.

I am 65 year age retired and have no pension. I have made investment in few govt schemes and get some regular income by way of interest but due to inflation and low interest rates scenario emerging pl suggest basket of investment to get regular monthly income of Rs 50000 . I have handsome amount in ppf account which is about to mature
Ans: Your situation reflects prudent planning with investments in government schemes and a maturing PPF. However, inflation and low interest rates demand a diversified strategy for consistent and inflation-adjusted income.

Steps to Achieve Rs. 50,000 Monthly Income
1. Reassess Your Current Investments

Evaluate the performance of your government schemes and compare their returns.
Retain investments offering guaranteed and steady income, like Senior Citizen Savings Scheme (SCSS) or Post Office Monthly Income Scheme (POMIS).
Redeploy funds from low-yield investments to more productive avenues.
2. Utilise the Maturing PPF

PPF offers tax-free corpus. Use this to create a diversified portfolio for stable income and growth.
Split the PPF corpus into equity mutual funds and safer debt instruments.
3. Diversify with Debt and Hybrid Funds

Invest in conservative hybrid funds to generate regular income and protect capital.
Include short-term and medium-term debt funds for steady returns, which are higher than fixed deposits.
4. Set Up a Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP)

Use equity or hybrid mutual funds to set up SWPs.
An SWP ensures a steady monthly income while your capital continues to grow.
5. Consider Dividend-Yielding Funds

Dividend-paying mutual funds offer periodic cash flow and potential for capital appreciation.
6. Fixed Income Instruments for Safety

SCSS: Offers assured returns and is tailor-made for senior citizens. Invest up to Rs. 30 lakh as a couple.
POMIS: Provides reliable income for smaller investments.
7. Include Tax-Free Bonds

Invest in high-quality tax-free bonds for steady, tax-efficient interest.
Creating the Income Plan
To achieve Rs. 50,000 per month:

Allocate a portion of funds to safer options like SCSS, POMIS, and tax-free bonds for stability.
Use equity and hybrid funds for growth and inflation protection.
Combine these with SWPs for regular income.
Tax Planning
Interest from SCSS and POMIS is taxable, so invest carefully.
Equity mutual funds have tax-efficient withdrawal options.
Debt funds offer indexation benefits for long-term investments.
Emergency and Health Fund
Keep at least 12 months of expenses in a liquid fund for emergencies.
Maintain your health insurance to handle rising medical costs.
Final Insight

A mix of secure instruments, mutual funds, and systematic withdrawals can comfortably generate Rs. 50,000 monthly income. Periodically review your plan with a Certified Financial Planner to adapt to changing needs and market conditions.

What should be the corpus one should have in order to get 150000 per month post retirement ??
Ans: To determine the required corpus, let’s address key factors like expenses, inflation, withdrawal strategy, and longevity. A comprehensive plan ensures sustainability.

Factors Influencing Corpus
Monthly Income Requirement
Rs. 1,50,000 per month translates to Rs. 18,00,000 annually.

Inflation Impact
With an average inflation rate of 6%, future expenses will significantly increase.

Withdrawal Rate
A safe withdrawal rate is typically 3-4% per year. This ensures the corpus lasts throughout retirement.

Post-Retirement Investment Returns
Assume a conservative return of 7% from a balanced portfolio after retirement.

Longevity
Plan for a 30-35 year retirement horizon to ensure financial independence.

Calculating the Corpus
Using a 4% withdrawal rate, the corpus should be:
Rs. 18,00,000 ÷ 4% = Rs. 4.5 crore.

Adjust for Inflation:
If retirement is 10 years away and inflation is 6%, you’ll need about Rs. 8 crore to maintain the same lifestyle.

Steps to Build This Corpus
Increase Equity Exposure Now
High-growth equity funds can accelerate wealth accumulation during the pre-retirement phase.

Gradual Shift to Conservative Assets
Transition to hybrid or debt funds five years before retirement to protect the corpus from market volatility.

Systematic Withdrawals
Post-retirement, use SWPs in mutual funds to create a steady monthly income of Rs. 1,50,000.

Health and Emergency Funds
Maintain a separate contingency fund to handle medical emergencies and other unexpected costs.

Tax Implications
Equity Fund Withdrawals:
LTCG above Rs. 1.25 lakh taxed at 12.5%.

Debt Fund Withdrawals:
Taxed as per your income slab.

Plan withdrawals tax-efficiently to optimise cash flow.

Final Insight

With proper planning, achieving a corpus of Rs. 8 crore is feasible for a comfortable retirement. Consult a Certified Financial Planner to optimise your investments and roadmap.

Hi, I have been an introvert guy for my whole life, but somehow I always got good colleagues which became great friends. But from last 5 years I am in a office where very few people works and that too they are not connected to me. Hence, I get a very little exposer with them. Feels so much lonely in office as there is not a lot of workload also. Most of my day goes watching reels on social media. Sometimes i forgot when last i smiled/laughed at office place where I spends 9 hours of my day (I do talk to my family over phone, but can't help my loneliness). what can I do....worried... A very lonely 45 year male.....
Ans: Dear Sunil,

No one is clear cut introvert or an extrovert, look at yourself closely too... in some circumstances you behave like an extrovert and some areas you behave like an introvert.

Be brave and say "hi" to people around you in the office, you be the first one to greet, this itself can be a starting point to making new friends. A smile and a pleasant "hi" is all it takes.
Look for opportunities to connect with ppl in the office, instead of sending mails or reminders to ppl electronically, just walk up to them and speak to them or call them up to say you have sent a mail/reminder. This way you can establish a human connect.
Also check if you can go to the dining area to eat lunch and during breaks.. do not sit at your desk and have lunch.
Social media and watching reels is a "big no" if you are yearning for human connections. I am glad you talk to your family...outside the office, join book clubs, singing clubs, drama clubs or anywhere your interest lies...you can join a classroom to learn and develop a new skill....

Also check if you are getting enough sleep, exercise, fresh air , sunshine during the day....focus on your diet too!!

Hope this helps... take care of yourself!
