Hello sir, my daughter has taken 12th science with PCB psychology and she is 12th this year. She will be answering her NEET in 2026. She is firm on getting her neet clear in her first attempt but by chance if that doesn't happen should she take a drop or she should go for other options. As a mother I have selected some options can you please guide me which one will be gud for her. Bds Bpt Pharmacy Btech in food science and technology Btech in biotechnology/ bioinformatics Bsc-msc in forensic science
Ans: Hi Madam,

It's great to see that you are putting in a lot of effort to help your daughter pursue a career in medicine. Before making any decisions, it’s important to consider your daughter's interests. If she is willing to follow your guidance, that's wonderful.

I understand she is in 12th grade this year. If that’s the case, here are some recommendations:

1. Clearing Doubts: Compare the NEET syllabus with the 11th and 12th-grade board syllabus. She will likely have many doubts about each chapter. It’s essential for her to address these doubts daily with the help of her teachers. She can also ask questions about tips, tricks, mnemonics, or easier ways to understand topics. This will help her significantly during exams.

For example:
i) Among the following, which one is highly nonpolar?
a. n-pentane
b. neopentane
c. isopentane

ii) Among the following, which one is more acidic?
a. oxalic acid
b. tartaric acid
c. phthalic acid.

2. Best Plan Consideration: Focus on creating one effective plan rather than thinking about multiple options (Plan A, Plan B, or Plan C). There are many influencers who may confuse you, but you are the best judge of what your daughter needs.

Remember, education should empower us, not the other way around. Select a course that aligns with this philosophy. In that regard, I suggest considering the following three paths:
A. Medicine
B. BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery)
C. Pharmacy (this is a final option since it doesn’t require NEET).

Why these three? Simply put, they allow her to start her own venture. Other courses may be more challenging, and once completed, no one will come knocking on her door. She must acquire the necessary skills while studying.

If she is not fully prepared for the exam this year, let her attempt it to familiarize herself with the exam-related challenges such as tension, time management, confusion, and distractions from peers in the exam hall. Encourage her to practice yoga and meditation to help mitigate these issues. Taking a drop year is not a negative option, but she must continue preparing for the exam and should not sit idly at home. She should create her own study calendar and adhere to it, which will help guide her progress.

If you implement the above suggestions, I am confident she will secure a medical seat comfortably.

BEST WISHES.

I am 31, teetotaler, with no bad habits, bachelor, leading celibacy, no chronical ailment, minimalist, investing in various schemes of mutual from the age of 18, now my investment is Rs. 50 lacs, with SIP of Rs. 15K every month in equity funds, and 40 lacs medical insurance 1.5Cr term insurance. Insurance premia are taken care by dividend from equity shares. My average annual expenses at present is Rs.5 lacs. Please guide me at what age should I give up the job and submit my resignation from MNC job, and retire, where I have no dependants nor depending on any one. Please guide me and advise.
Ans: Hi Mani,

You are one of the rare example of someone who is a long term investor and have build quite a good corpus through all these years.
Let us have a look at what can be done:
1. Insurance - you are well covered. Even premiums are being taken care of using dividends.
2. Emergency fund - build a dedicsted fund of minimu 10 lakhs in liquid funds for any emergency situation.
3. Mutual funds - a SIP of 15k has built you a corpus of 50 lakhs in 13 years which is great. You should also focus on increasing your investments to the maximum capacity whenever possible.
4. You are a bachelor and want to retire. But you also have to plan if ou want to get married. Getting married will change the entire plan. You will need funds to get marry, start family, kid's education and marriage. All these things should also be considered before making any decision.
5. Your current expenses of 5lakhs will double easily on getting married, so your resignation and retirement depends on this plan as well.

Hence my suggestion would be to focus on increasing income for now and you are too young to consider leaving your job. Plan your future goals and then take this decision collectively.

Also as your MF portfolio crosses 50 lakhs, would suggest you to consult a professional Certified Financial Planner - a CFP who can guide you with exact funds to invest in keeping in mind your age, requirements, financial goals and risk profile.

Hello. I'm 41yr old woman have 2 kids age 13 and 7. I own 3bhk duplex house in Bangalore. My monthly income comes upto 60k per month. I have invested 45lakhs in bhive workspace company and getting returns of 64k per month. I have also invested in 5 autos tie-up with rapid and earning 75k returns on tht. I have invested 12 lakhs in motilal Oswal midcap elss fund. Now I'm getting 1cr from my parents property share. Where should I invest for good returns and safe investment for future wealth? And I also love traveling so need to save some money for future for my health and my desire to fulfill. Plz guide me wisely.
Ans: Hi,

You have done great investments with some companies and aree earning out of it. This is the best form of diversification.
I understand, you have your house, monthly income from salary and your investments.
To further diversify the 1 crore that you are getting, can consider investing in a mix of equity oriented and balanced mutual funds. Your current investment in the Oswal midcap ELSS doesn't seem good. Even this can be shifted to a much better fund suited to your requirements wrt your risk appetite.

You can work with a professional advisor who will guide you with exact fund names to invest your 1 crore and also redirect 12 lakhs from elss fund to another fund.

Your goal of travelling can be done using a portion of 15% from 1 crore that you will get. This amount will be invested in debt and small cap funds and you can do a sWP from this amount to fulfil your travel goal.

Regarding health, first make sure to have a dedicated health insurance for yourself and family with a cover of minimum 25 lakhs. And have an emergency fund of around 10-15 lakhs. This would be sufficient to take care of this.

Lastly, refrain from doing investments based on any random tips in mutual funds as any wrong fund selection can hamper the growth of your portfolio.
Hence consult a professional Certified Financial Planner - a CFP who can guide you with exact funds to invest in keeping in mind your age, requirements, financial goals and risk profile.
