Hi Sir, my daughter will clear 12th CBSE this year. Please suggest how to get admission in good US university.
Ans: Hello,

First and foremost, congratulations to your daughter on clearing the 12th CBSE! She can follow the procedures mentioned below to enrol in a reputable US university if she wants to pursue further education there:

1. Research and shortlist universities: Start by looking up and narrowing down the list of colleges that offer programs in her subject of interest. Take into account criteria such as the location, rankings, tuition rates, scholarships offered, and campus resources.

2. Prepare for Standardized tests: For undergraduate entrance, the majority of US universities demand results from standardised exams like the SAT or ACT, and for graduate entry, the GRE or GMAT. Your daughter should plan ahead for these exams and strive for high marks.

3. Academic Marksheets: The universities your daughter applies to will require her to provide her official high school transcripts. Insist that she completes her 12th grade with a solid academic record.

4. Recommendation Letters: The majority of American universities demand Letters of Recommendation from professors or other mentors. Your daughter needs to talk to her professors or other people who can attest to her academic prowess, character, and potential and ask them to write compelling letters of recommendation for her.

5. Essays/personal statements: As part of the application process, several US universities ask for essays or personal statements. Your daughter should take the time to write thoughtful essays that showcase her accomplishments, objectives, and aspirations.

6. Extracurricular activities: Encourage your daughter to take part in extracurricular activities like athletics, clubs, volunteer work, or leadership positions. Her leadership abilities, initiative, and community involvement can be showcased through these activities, which can in turn, strengthen her application.

7. Scholarships and financial assistance: Look into the scholarships and financial aid programs that each university offers. Numerous colleges award scholarships to foreign students who demonstrate academic excellence, talent, or financial necessity. You should encourage your daughter to apply for these grants and financial aid opportunities.

8. English language proficiency: English being the predominant medium of teaching in US universities, your daughter will need to demonstrate English language proficiency by taking tests like the TOEFL or IELTS if English is not her first language.

9. Adhere to application deadlines: Keep in mind that each university has a different set of application dates, so pay attention to them. Make sure your daughter submits her applications on time, along with all necessary paperwork.

10. Seek guidance: Consulting educational experts, school counselors, or former US-students can be beneficial in providing advice. They can offer useful insights and guidance on the application process, university choices, and other topics.

Remember that the application process might be competitive, so it's crucial for your daughter to get started early, have a good plan, and work hard to put together a quality application. Wishing your daughter the best of luck as she pursues higher education in the US!

Indeed, pursuing a higher education at a prestigious overseas university is a difficult but worthwhile road. While the road ahead may not be simple, there are various steps you and your daughter may take to improve her prospects of admission to a prestigious university and receiving a scholarship. To assist her in realizing her dream, consider the following advice:

1. Academic Prowess: Encourage your daughter to put her education first and aim for academic achievement. Maintaining strong scores in finance and mathematics will improve her prospects of admission to a prestigious university.

2. Determine Target Universities: Conduct research to find the top colleges with robust finance and mathematics programs. Shortlist colleges that fit your daughter's goals and offer scholarships to international students.

3. Prepare for Standardized Tests: Standardized exams like the SAT or ACT are required by several universities. By offering her study materials, mock exams, and, if it's possible, enrolling her in test preparation classes, assist your daughter in preparing for these exams.

4. Extracurricular Interests: Encourage your daughter to join in extracurricular activities that align with her interests. She could sign up for groups or clubs that concentrate on finance or economics in the realm of finance. She exhibits her interest, leadership abilities, and devotion by participating in extracurricular activities.

5. Community service and volunteering: Encouraging your daughter to participate in volunteer work and community service projects will distinguish her from competitors while also demonstrating her dedication to having a good influence.

6. Essay/Personal Statement: Assist your daughter in writing a strong personal statement or essay for her college application that demonstrates her drive, enthusiasm, and future objectives.

8. Research Scholarships: Look for financial or mathematical scholarships that are especially designed for overseas students. For exceptional students, several colleges provide options for financial aid and scholarships. To identify relevant possibilities, conduct online research, contact university financial aid offices, and search scholarship databases.

9. Plan your finances: As a low-income person/student, you must plan for the financial aspects of studying abroad. Investigate the associated expenditures, such as tuition, lodging, living costs, and travel. To help with the costs, look into financial aid programs, scholarships, and part-time employment choices.

10. Seek Direction and Assistance: Encourage your daughter to consult with her academic adviser, instructors, and school counselor, to get sage advice and support during the application process. They can help her comprehend the specifications, offer input on the submitted documents, and help her find appropriate scholarship opportunities.

The route to studying abroad and obtaining scholarships might be difficult, but with perseverance, diligence, and the right support, your daughter can fulfil her ambitions. Journeying forward, motivate her to persevere, stay committed, and accept possibilities for improvement. Best wishes on your daughter's academic career!

Hello Sir/Madam, My daughter is completing her 3rd year B.Tech (Information Science) this year. SGPA is 7.50 in all previous years. she wants to do her MS after completing her B.Tech. She wants to persue her MS in Germany or UK. My query is should she do her internship next year in India or get a job here or else in a foreign country. I am confused. Please help.
Ans: Hello Stan,

First and foremost, thank you for getting in touch with us. Congratulations to your daughter as she finishes her third year of a B.Tech. program! It's a wise choice to pursue an MS following graduation, and both Germany and the UK have top-notch higher education options. Her internship decision is based on a variety of criteria and personal preferences.

Gaining international experience through an internship in a foreign nation can be useful if your daughter intends to study abroad for her MS. This experience will not only boost her profile, but will also allow her to become acquainted with the work culture and professional environment in another country. Additionally, it may be a chance for her to network and create connections that can help her future professional chances.

Internships abroad, however, may provide unique difficulties, including visa restrictions, language problems, and cultural acculturation. If your daughter wishes to stay in India, she can think about pursuing an internship with a respectable company in her industry. She will be exposed to the industry while also gaining useful real-world experience. She can also look at employment prospects in India, which will advance her career.

The choice should ultimately be in line with your daughter's ambitions, long-term objectives, and circumstances. Researching the particular criteria and opportunities in Germany and the UK, speaking with academic advisors or career counselors, and taking into account various issues like cost, language ability, and potential future career paths may all be helpful for her.

We mainly deal with overseas education. If your daughter is considering pursuing an education abroad, then please contact us. Thanks!

Sir, I just retired from my service @60yrs. I will get my PF+other fund ₹50L. Please advice how to invest the amount so that my principal not disputed and I can get ₹30,000 pm for my monthly expenses. My family of 2 persons are covered ₹50L health insurance. Regards
Ans: Considering your age and your requirement, you will need to invest in a mix of debt and equity instruments. Here are some investment options available to you:-

• Senior Citizens’ Savings Scheme (SCSS) – This is a pure debt instruments and provides guaranteed returns of 8.2% per annum. The interest is paid quarterly. The maximum amount that you can invest is Rs. 30 Lakhs.

• Corporate FDs – It provides you return more than the regular bank FDs. It contains two options i.e. cumulative and non-cumulative.

• Post Office Monthly Income Scheme (POMIS): This is another government-backed scheme that offers guaranteed monthly income. The current interest rate is 7.1%.

• Debt Mutual Funds: As your main concern is to protect the principal amount you may consider debt funds and monthly income can be achieved through the route of SWP (systematic withdrawal plan).

• Equity mutual funds: Equity mutual funds offer the highest potential returns, but they are also the riskiest. A small portion of the amount can be invested in the equity mutual funds for growth of the money in the long-term horizon.

It is good to know that you are adequately insured for any healthcare emergency.

Your requirement of Rs. 30,000 will be changing in the future due to inflation, hence you should consult with your financial advisor for a proper increasing income or SWP (systematic withdrawal plan) which can help you to ensure sufficient amount available for your monthly expenses.

Because there is no mistake from my side. Thanks in Advance. Narayanan
Ans: I understand that your EPF withdrawal claim has been rejected due to an error in your employer's contribution. This is frustrating, but it is important to remember that you are not alone. Many people experience problems with their EPF claims, especially when their employers make mistakes.

When filing a grievance, be sure to provide clear and concise information about the issue. You should also include any relevant documentation, such as your EPF statement and the revised Form 11 from your employer (if you have one).

Once you have filed a grievance, the EPFO will investigate the matter and try to resolve it. This process can take some time, but it is important to be patient.

Here are some additional tips:

• Keep track of all your communication with the EPFO. This includes emails, phone calls, and visits to the office.
• If you are not satisfied with the EPFO's response, you can escalate the issue to the regional or national level. You can also mail on employeefeedback @ epfindia.gov.in for the redressal of your grievance.
