Sir, My Son has exited JOSAA after Iteration 5 as the Institute/ Branch was not of his choice. His rank was 50000 in General Category. He remains in Waitlist after 3 rounds at BITS Pilani, next round is on 31.07.2024. His rank in WBJEE is 1667 (No Category, Non Domicile) - 1st list expected today. However he has got IISER Bhopal BS-MS in the 1st list itself. Is it worth waiting for WBJEE, CSAB, BITS or should he go for IISER B, he is not too finicky about Engineering.

Ans: Hi Rajan
IISERs have mostly research-oriented courses, see if that fits your dreams. You can get good colleges through WBJEE. Also what is your score in BITSAT? it will help me assess the situation.
You can try CSAB.

CSE & ECE seem very difficult through CSAB. He has a good score in BITSAT he may get his choices.

Respected Sir/ Ma'am, My son appeared in JEE Main and scored 97 percentile this year. He also appeared in WBJEE and got rank of 1500; appeared BITS and got 230 marks. In JOSAA counseling round one, he already got Production Engineering in NIT Agartala and has potential to move to Production Or Mechanical in NIT Jalandhar Or Jamshedpur in next few rounds. Basis his rank in WBJEE, he is expected to get Mechanical Or Production in Jadavapur University. Basis his number in BITS he is expected to get Msc Physics with Dual degree of B. Tech in any Engineering stream (but the engineering stream will depend upon his performance and cgpa achieved in first year of Msc Physics course). Considering the same, now he has 3 options: 1) Get admitted in NIT Agartala/ Jalandhar/ Jamshedpur in Production engineering; 2) Get admitted in Jadavapur University with Mechanical/ Production Engineering; 3) Get admitted in Msc Physics 5 year course, study hard to achieve good cgpa in first year so that he can get good Engineering department as B. Tech from second year, complete course for 5 year with dual degree. Which option should be best for him. Is dual degree from BITS Pilani Hyderabad worth of considering 5 year course, very high course fee and uncertainty as to what Engineering stream he may get in second year for B. Tech. Please advise. Thank You in advance.
Ans: Hello Sir,
you can go with Jadavpur University. It is very renowned and good. For a better branch, we can try through csab rounds. In case of any queries & professional help you can DM me through insta handle CAREERSTREETS

Dear Sir, I have another question: I have been investing in the Bajaj Allianz Life Goal Assurance Plan for the past five years, which is a combination of insurance and investment. The total premium payment duration is 10 years, with a SIP of ?10,000 per month, followed by a lock-in period of an additional 5 years So far, my monthly contributions of ?10,000 have grown to ?9.40 lakhs, with an approximate CAGR of 16%, although the insurance coverage remains at ?12 lakhs. Initially, I did not have much knowledge but continued investing due to the plan’s market-linked structure. For the first five years, my funds were allocated to Pure Stock II and Equity Growth funds basically large-cap. Recently, mid-cap and small-cap index funds were also added to their portfolio. Now that I’ve completed 5 years of investing in large-cap components, I am considering allocating the remaining 5 years to mid-cap and small-cap funds, without increasing the SIP. This would be done through a fund switch from large-cap to mid-cap and small-cap or by dividing the allocation equally—25% each across pure-stock, equity growth, mid-cap, and small-cap funds. Would you recommend this strategy while allowing the large-cap corpurs from the first 5 years to grow at their own pace and remaining 5 years switched into mid-cap/small-cap. Since the policy will mature in 2034, this gives me ample time for the investment to grow, allowing the corpus to build significantly over the remaining years
Ans: Since you are looking for 10 year time horizon, I recommend you divide the allocation equally(25%) across pure stock, equity growth, midcap index and small cap quality index funds.

Happy Investing!!
