My daughter Purbi is in class 11 science stream. She is good at math. She doesn't want to appear for JEE or NEET next year. What are some of the top and better career options in science apart from medicine and engineering?
Ans: You have mentioned that your daughter is NOT interested & you want to know about other better career options in Science.

Here are some TOP Career options (other than Medicine & Engineering through JEE & NEET) in Science:

IISER (Indian Institute of Science Education & Research) :

It offers BS-MS Dual Degree (RESEARCH-Based) 5-Year Programmes for Science Students. Your daughter can get admission through IISER’s own Admission Test (IAT) into any of the programs offered by IISER, having 7 branches at Berhampur, Bhopal, Kolkata, Mohali, Pune, Thiruvananthapuram, and Tirupati.

PURE SCIENCE Courses:

Other than IISER, there are a lot of Pure Science Courses, available for your daughter such as, BSc (Hons), Bachelor of Statistics (suitable as your daughter is good in Maths), BSc+MSc (Integrated Bachelor & Master of Science) with following Specialisations, offered by different Universities:

Anthropology | Biochemistry | Exercise & Sports Science | Forensic Science | Agriculture | Bioinformatics | Forestry | Microbiology | Physical Sciences | Sericulture | Dairy Technology | Statistics | Physics | Applied Physical Science | Biotechnology | Life Sciences | Natural Sciences | Botany | Environmental Science | Home Science | Nursing | Biotechnology.

It is suggested to attempt a ‘Psychometric Test” for your daughter to know her level of Aptitude, Attitude, Interest, Personality Traits & Orientation Style to choose a right & most suitable Course among the options available in Pure Science.

Some of the Entrance Exams, your daughter can choose to appear for getting admission into any Pure Science Courses, mentioned above:

KVPY
IAT
NEET-UG (for Pure Science Courses with Some Universities
CUET (for Getting Admission into any one of the Central Universities in India)
BITSAT
& Other State Entrance Exams.

It is advisable for your daughter to get admission into any ONE of the Top-ranked Universities / Colleges / Institutes for pursuing her studies in Science. SOME of them are:

1) IISC, Bengaluru
2) IITs / NITs (For Pure Science Courses)
3) IISER (Having 7-Branches all over India)
4) University of Mumbai (Dept. of Atomic Energy), Mumbai
5) NISER, Bhubaneswar
6) Chennai Mathematical Institute, Chennai
7) Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata
8) Madras Christian College, Chennai
9) Christ University, Bengaluru
10) Mirinda House, Delhi

Please note, JEE & NEET are conducted NOT only for Engineering & Medicinal Courses but also for Pure Science Programs. Your daughter, to get admission into any one of the some top Institutes, will need JEE / NEET Score for admission into Pure Science Courses.

Also, it is ideal to prepare for Entrance Exams from her 11th standard now, either online or offline, to be competitive, to get admission into any top-ranked University / College / Institute in India, to get placed through CAMPUS Recruitment.

Hope I have clarified your doubts for your daughter.

If you need any other clarifications for your daughter or have questions for anyone, post your questions (in detail) to me and/or follow me here in RediffGURU for more useful information on ‘Careers / Education / Jobs’.

All The BEST for your Daughter from RediffGURU.

My son is doing his XII Standard in CBSE Curriculum with Maths,Physics, Chemistry and Biology as his group. He is yet to decide on what next after XII with his mind wavering between Astro Physics or Micro Biology with NEET in mind. Any guidance is welcome.
Ans: Hello Srinivasan.
I am glad to hear that your son is exploring diversified fields at this early stage. Astrophysics and Microbiology both are fascinating and rewarding paths, but they differ significantly in terms of the career options and the type of studies involved.
My suggestion for your son would be to focus only on the NEET examination at this stage. There is no need to divert the mind without any reason at this stage. After the NEET examination is over, you have ample time to discover more career options along with Astrophysics and Microbiology. The inclination toward career options of a student changes multiple times during the 11th and 12th. If he is brilliant, a hard worker, and dedicated to his studies, then set a goal of Min 650 marks in the NEET examination.
For Astrophysics: Focus on excelling in Physics and Maths in XII. He can apply to top institutions like IISc, IITs, or IISERs for B.Sc. programs.
For Microbiology: Prepare for NEET if he wants to take the medical path. Otherwise, he can explore a B.Sc. in Microbiology at a reputable university.

Best of luck for his future career and upcoming NEET examination.

Plastic-Aesthetic Surgeon, Emergency Care Consultant - Answered on Dec 05, 2024

Asked by Anonymous - Dec 05, 2024Hindi

Health
Dear Doctor, I work as a corporate lawyer in Delhi. I’ve been considering undergoing a cosmetic procedure for my skin for some time now, but I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed by the number of surgeons available. I want to ensure that I choose someone who is experienced, as this is a big decision for me. Could you advise what I should look for when selecting a plastic-aesthetic surgeon? Are there any specific red flags I should be aware of when researching potential surgeons? I want to make sure I’m in safe hands. I’m 40 years old.
Ans: This is a beautiful question.
Before I dwell on your question, there are a few points which are very important for the patient to know.
1. You should roughly know what result you wish to have.
2. Never think of a perfect result. There is no such result.
3. You must think in terms of improvement and if you are sble to achieve more than 90% approx, it can be considred good.
4. Dont compare your results with any celebrity's result. There body structure is different, they have probably taken better care till now and importantly, the result you see on a public platform is after make up and not the real result. Some times it may be a photoshopped image
5. Let your doctor know if you have any medical history and addictions.
6. Don't go with pre concieved notion (especially if you have researched a lot online). Discuss with the doctor, listen to his/ her views and raise your concerns if any
7. Try and see some results of the doctors work (Remember, too good a result may not be the true result). Realistic result is what you should want to look at and believe.
8. Don't fall for less budget! its obvious a meticulous job needs more surgical time. This means that the doctor may charge more. Seniority also adds to the cost.
What I mean, there is a price to be paid for a good job.(whether medical or anywhere).
Now coming to the Plastic surgeon's choice.
1. Research well, but dont fall prey to only advertisement. Small and big centers, both advertise,
2. Dont fall for glamour. You are going to a surgeon. A plastic surgeon's clinic is clean but not lavish generally. At least I believe that the person coming is not a client, but a patient. A patient - Doctor relationship is more pure than a client-Professional relationship.
3. Talk and discuss with the doctor. A too busy doctor may not always be the best doctor for you. Plastic surgery is about thinking, planning and execution. A doctor who thinks aloud about your problem ( especially if ut us face, nose, breast etc) is applying his/ her knowledge for your betterment, because every oerson is different.
4. Check the resilts? Look for genuinity.
5. Be wary of arrogant, loud and boisterous people. There is a difference between confidence and fambloyence.
6. Doctors who are attached to reputed hospitals are generally good in their work.
7. A doctor who can talk about probable complications is also a doctor worth trusting.
I hope I am able to do justice to this difficult question. All the best. You can write again if you need any other clarifications.

Ans: Your query reflects a unique position: you are financially secure, have no immediate monetary pressure, and have a genuine desire to help others. Here’s a structured approach to navigate your thoughts, align your purpose, and utilize your resources effectively:

1. Self-Reflection and Emotional Well-Being
Acknowledge Your Position: Feeling "confused but lucky" is natural for someone in your shoes. You’ve done exceptionally well, but now it’s about finding meaning beyond wealth.
Define Your Purpose: Reflect on why you want to help others with investments. Is it to share your knowledge, build relationships, or leave a legacy? A clear purpose will guide your efforts.
Engage with Mentors or Communities: Join communities of like-minded individuals passionate about personal finance. This will give you clarity and help channel your energy positively.

Helping People with Investments
Become a Trainer for Investors
Share your wealth of knowledge and personal experience by training others. Conduct workshops, webinars, or small group sessions to educate individuals about investments, mutual funds, and wealth-building strategies.
Partner with local organizations, schools, or community centers to organize financial literacy programs, empowering others with practical knowledge.
Build Credibility as a Social Media Influencer
Start a blog, YouTube channel, or social media page to share practical investment guidance. Leverage your personal success stories, such as how your investments enabled you to achieve significant milestones like buying a house or building wealth.
Use engaging and relatable content, including videos, infographics, and step-by-step guides on financial discipline, mutual funds, and long-term investing.
Share lessons learned from your journey, highlighting the importance of patience and strategic planning in investment success.
Engage with the Community
Offer free introductory sessions on investment basics to build trust and reach a wider audience.
Position yourself as an advocate for financial literacy, helping people understand the importance of long-term financial planning.
By focusing on training and becoming a trusted voice in financial education, you can inspire and guide others to achieve their financial goals without the need to sell or distribute financial products.

3. Planning for Your Children
Liquidating Land Thoughtfully:
If you believe the land may become a burden, consider liquidating part of it gradually. Invest proceeds in diversified, low-maintenance assets (like index funds, balanced funds, or income-generating instruments) for your children’s future.
Education and Independence:
With their education well-funded, encourage them to explore careers and passions aligned with their interests rather than burdening them with managing family assets.
4. Personal Development
Stay Physically and Mentally Active:
Your fitness focus is commendable. Complement it with mindfulness practices like yoga or meditation to address occasional feelings of depression.
Pursue Interests:
Engage in hobbies, volunteering, or activities outside finance. This will provide balance and joy.
5. Long-Term Vision for Wealth
Simplify Your Estate:
Work with an estate planner to create a will or trust that outlines how your wealth should be distributed. If you wish to donate or help others, identify organizations or causes now.
Educate Your Children:
Teach them about financial independence and stewardship of wealth to ensure your legacy doesn’t become a source of stress.
6. Combatting Depression:
Stay Connected: Spend quality time with your family and engage socially. Helping others genuinely can alleviate feelings of emptiness.
Seek Professional Support: If occasional depression persists, consult a counselor or therapist to navigate your emotions effectively.
Your desire to help others while living a secure and fulfilling life is inspiring. You’re in an enviable position to create a meaningful legacy for yourself and others.

Next Steps:

Start researching about training topics.
Begin sharing your investment journey informally through social media or blogs.
Seek professional help to plan the estate and ensure your children’s financial and emotional well-being.
You have the resources, experience, and goodwill to make a difference. Channel these into meaningful action.
