Ans: Hello,

First and foremost, thank you for getting in touch with us. I am glad to hear that your son is pursuing his Bachelor of Physiotherapy after which he intends pursuing his postgraduate (PG) studies in the USA. I would like to let you know that although pursuing higher studies overseas can be a fantastic opportunity, taking monetary considerations into account is crucial. As an answer to your question, mentioned below are some suggestions to locate economical options as well as the admissions procedure:

As the first step, your son should look into universities that provide affordable programs, or else, examine programs that offer monetary assistance or scholarships to overseas students. In comparison to others, a few universities might charge cheaper tuition fees. I would suggest that your son searches for public universities or ones that offer robust initiatives for financial assistance. Next, your son should make sure that the universities he is thinking about enrolling in are accredited by recognized accreditation agencies. This guarantees that educational criteria are fulfilled. If needed, your son should prepare beforehand for standardized tests viz., the GRE and TOEFL/IELTS. He can study with the help of various resources available online and in libraries. Remember that the application procedure and prerequisites differ between universities. Ensure that your son adheres to the guidelines set by each university and submits necessary documents viz., his academic marksheets, scores of standardized tests viz., the GRE, scores of English competency tests viz., the IELTS or TOEFL, personal statement, endorsement letters, as well as a CV or résumé. As part of financial planning, I would recommend that your son sets a realistic budget for pursuing higher studies abroad. He should consider the costs of living, tuition costs, medical insurance, as well as other additional expenditures. He should also look into the part-time employment opportunities for international students, and make sure that the work doesn’t hamper his studies. There are a number of scholarships available for international students that your son should look into. Scholarships based on merit or monetary support packages are offered by a number of universities. In addition, your son can explore external scholarship programs provided by governmental bodies, commercial businesses, or foundations. Besides conventional postgraduate programs, your son could look into other options viz., online programs, which may be comparatively cheaper and offer more flexibility. In order to acquire direction and assistance during the application procedure, your son can get in touch with the international student offices at the universities he’s considering. Not just that, he should speak with academic advisors or organizations with experience helping students study overseas.

Remember that there are several renowned universities in the USA and some other nations that are regarded for the robust Physiotherapy programs they offer. In the USA, your son can apply to universities viz., University of Southern California, Emory University, University of Iowa, University of Pittsburgh, and University of Delaware. In Australia, University of Sydney, University of Queensland, and University of Melbourne are well-known for their postgraduate programs in Physiotherapy. Universities viz., King's College London, Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh, University of Southampton, University of Nottingham, University of Birmingham, University of Manchester, and University of East Anglia in the UK are known for their postgraduate studies in Physiotherapy. Your son can consider applying to any of these universities. Your son can also apply to any of these Canadian universities viz., University of British Columbia, University of Alberta, McGill University, University of Toronto, and McMaster University that are well-regarded for their Physiotherapy postgraduate programs. These universities are well-known for their top-notch instruction, hands-on learning, and research possibilities in Physiotherapy. In order to ascertain which program best resonates with his interests, monetary situation, and professional objectives, I would recommend that your son conducts more research on each program. Besides, when selecting, he should also take into account variables viz., the location, amenities, experience of the faculty members, and alumni network.

Ny son is doind bachelor of Phesiothrepy and want to study further for post graduation in USA or some other country please tell me full detail for admission after he can work there or not
Ans: Hello,

To begin with, thank you for contacting us. I am glad to hear that your son is currently pursuing his Bachelor of Physiotherapy and further intends pursuing his post-graduation in the USA or some other country. To answer your question first, I would like to let you know that pursuing physiotherapy is a fulfilling career, and opting for PG studies overseas can present outstanding chances for development and specialization. Concerning your query regarding the procedure for admission and future employment possibilities for your son in the USA or another country, I would suggest that you consider the following:

As part of the admission procedure, your son should first conduct a comprehensive study on postgraduate programs in physiotherapy or associated fields both in the USA or other countries. He should look for universities with a solid standing in his field of expertise. Next, remember that the admission prerequisites for each university is unique. These generally entail submitting academic marksheets, scores of standardized tests viz., the GMAT or GRE, a personal statement or statement of purpose (SOP), endorsement letters, and at times, professional experience. Your son may be required to prove his fluency in English through appearing for tests viz., the IELTS or TOEFL, if he's a non-native English speaker. According to the particular guidelines set by each university, your son will then need to submit his application via mail or through the university's online portal. If your son is accepted, as the next step, he will need to apply for a student visa. Remember that based on the country he wishes to study in, this procedure can differ. Nevertheless, I would like to tell you that guidance for the same can be provided by the university's international student office. Lastly, make sure your son is aware of the costs associated with attending, viz., tuition fees, costs of living, and any scholarships or financial aid that may be applicable.

Concerning your query regarding employment opportunities post-graduation, I would like to tell you that your son, upon completing his studies in the USA, may qualify for Optional Practical Training (OPT), which permits international students to work for up to one year following graduation in their area of expertise. Nevertheless, an extension of up to 36 months is available for OPT in some STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) programs. Your son should think about applying for an H-1B visa if he intends working in the USA beyond OPT. This visa enables U.S. firms to temporarily employ foreign workers in specialty vocations. However, owing to yearly quotas, acquiring an H-1B visa might be challenging. Next, if your son intends studying in another country, I would like to tell you that he should look into the employment opportunities post-graduation that are available there. Remember that international students are offered post-study work visas or pathways to permanent residency by several nations. I would like to let you know that each country has different laws governing the practice of physiotherapy. To practice as a physiotherapist in a new country, your son may be required to take licensing examinations or further training. I would recommend that your son networks with industry professionals and looks for internship possibilities while he is studying. Remember that developing relationships and obtaining hands-on experience can improve your son’s career opportunities after graduating.

By adhering to these steps and taking into account the particular prerequisites and prospects in the destination of his choice, your son can pursue his postgraduate studies overseas and possibly start a fulfilling career in physiotherapy.

What happens when a Mutual Fund company shuts down / gets sold off?
Ans: Hello;

If a mutual fund company gets sold or fails, the process is prescribed by SEBI:

In case MF company is Sold,
The new fund house may:
1. Continue the scheme with a new name and management.

2. Merge the scheme with similar funds and offer investors the option to exit without any exit load.

In case MF company shuts down,
The fund house will:
1. Pay out investors based on the fund's last recorded Net Asset Value (NAV) and the number of units the investor holds, after deducting expenses.

2. If the company is not in a position to do so then SEBI may liquidate the funds assets and distribute the proceeds to unit holders.

It is also pertinent to note that mutual fund regulation in India is one of the most stringent and hence best, from investor's point of view, globally.

This is not just in theory. We have seen how the Franklin Templeton abrupt closure of debt funds was handled with surgical precision, by SEBI, with no loss to unitholders.


Skin in the game regulation mandates that 20% salary of key mutual fund personnel and fund managers is paid in terms of units of their funds with a 3 year lock-in.

The stocks and bonds purchased by the AMC for the fund are held by a custodian, appointed by the trust that administers the fund.

The trust engages into a investment management agreement with the AMC for managing the fund as per their mandate and within regulatory guidelines.

Registrar and Transfer Agents handle the investor registration,kyc, maintaining records, providing account and tax statements etc.

Happy Investing;

Hello, my wife is Ugandan and I’m of English national, 30 years old and she’s 26, we met nearly a year ago and got married in uk with some of her friends and small family. We haven’t done kuchala (not sure if that’s correct spelling) yet and I’m feeling anxious for when the time comes. She said her family will kneel when they greet me and being white this is already stinging my moral (due to history). I also talked about moving in together before the meet the parents happen however she says she’s rather move in after? Currently this could take two years before going to Uganda, how should I proceed without overstepping her cultural beliefs as after all we are married and by my culture we should already be living together
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
It is very nice of you to be so considerate and sensitive while handling these cultural nuances. Let's discuss the kneeling tradition. It's a sign of respect and it's deeply rooted in Ugandan culture. While I understand your point of view, you also have to remember that it can have significant meaning to her and her family. I suggest you politely express your feelings and let her know why it is uncomfortable for you to see her family kneel. When you explain, mention how much her culture means to you as well. I am sure both of you can communicate and come to a compromise that makes you both happy. Just in case, they persist in following the ritual, just look at it as a gesture of love and respect and not submission.

About the moving in together part, in certain parts of the world, couples living together before the traditional wedding is not considered respectful. But since you are already married, you can try explaining to your wife how the living situation does not go against her cultural expectations. But if it is a really big deal for her and her family, consider seeing it from her perspective.

Communication is everything here. Look at every problem as a team; it's not your problem vs her problem. It's both of you vs the problems.

I hope this helps
