Question by Sandeep on Jan 20, 2026Hindi

Career

My daughter will in the month of February, 2026 be giving her HSC board examination . She wants to pursue course in MBA. My questions to the expert panel are as under :- 1) What if she does her BBA from a college without giving MAH -MBACET exam and after completing her BBA graduation do 2 years MBA course after giving MAH-MBACET exam. 2) Does a student doing only BBA get a good job 3) Which are the best MBA institutes in Mumbai and Pune which offers great placement opportunities. 4) Are there any online classes for preparation of MAH-MBA CET exam, please suggest. 5)

Ans: Does not matter where you do your BBA course from as long as it is recognised. Once you give your MBA CET exam you will be considered on par with everyone else and what will matter is your score in the entrance exam.
Students doing BBA do get a decent job if you do it from good colleges. But they usually end up doing an MBA to get better jobs.
Best MBA colleges in Mumbai / Pune - JBIMS, SPJIMR, IIM Mumbai, IIT Mumbai, SIBM Pune, NMIMS Mumbai, SCMHRD Mumbai, ...
There are online classes preparing for MBA CET. I too do prepare for the exam. prep.patrick100.com

Ans: There is not much scope after doing part time or Online MBA unless she is looking for promotion in her company or she has a good relevant work experience for her new job.

Question by Jayakiran - Sep 02, 2026

Relationship

Hello Anu, Me and my wife are hardly having sex and being felt intimated from past 7 months. We have no intimacy connection now, we are just with each other with zero sex with marriage of 15 years long. Don't know what to do with it. We don't even talk of why we have so low sex drive. What can be done?

Ans: Dear Jayakiran,
If you don't or hesitate to talk about an issue that is bothering you both, then don't you think that it's time for someone neutral to help you break the ice on it? Obviously the best is when the couple a good channel of communication and discuss anything and everything, but if there's a lot of hesitation, kindly seek the help of a professional to help you both on this...
There are phases in life where intimacy dips like: after the birth of a child, loss of any kind like a job or a near and dear, financial instability...all these can bring a time when intimacy will be the last thing on your minds as you have other emotional situations to face and be in...be patient, try and sit down to talk about these...to start a conversation, start spending a lot of time together to bring back the love that is hiding somewhere and then these kind of chats become easier...if you are still struggling, do seek professional help!

All the best!
