I graduated from 12 in 2022 and after that i started preparing for ca but still not able to clear my ca foundation and now my parents saying you should opt a college for bcom or bca and after 2 year gap is it possible to go colleege

Ans: Yes. You Can. Indian institutions admit gap year students if you meet eligibility requirements and can explain the gap. You can choose between B.Com or BCA. Gap-admission options include normal colleges, distance/online learning, and private universities. Colleges understand your preparation for competitive exams like CA and prefer to give admission to you. Your next steps should be, researching colleges offering B.Com or BCA, preparing required documents & complete the admission formalities. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future.

Career

I am commerce students graduated from 12 in 2022 ans started preparing for ca but I'm not able to clear ca and my family is saying ti start going college take admission in bca what's should i do, should i start college at 20 or not

Ans: Faisal, please never become discouraged by the failures that everyone experiences. And aging is not a barrier to studying. Recently, it was reported that an 80-year-old man enrolled in a postgraduate course at an open university, despite the fact that he was well-established after working as a faculty member in a polytechnic for more than 30 years and having approximately 15 qualifications. His words were: "Till my last breathe, I do not want to waste my time" . It is best to pursue a graduate in which you are interested and confident that you will be able to develop a successful career. If you believe that pursuing BCA is a good option, go ahead with it. Have faith in yourself, continue to improve your talents even as you pursue your graduation, and conduct extensive study in your field to land a job right after graduation. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future.

I am 22 and have completed by b.com from tier 3 clg and still have not passed ca intermediate after 3 attemptes and for not showing gap yr in my profile i enrolled for mcom from same clg .I am confused shall I stop preparing for ca or look for a job and after that go for mba or should i switch my stream bcoz i have interest in graphic design and data analysis stuff?

Ans: Leave further attempt for CA, three attempts are more than enough. The level of college is not very important. Your knowledge, presentation and performance will matter. You can leave M.Com also. But if you are in second year then please complete it. Go for an online MBA in finance or IT. If you switch your stream from commerce to Data Analysis then do the MBA in IT and go for a certification course of AI & Machine Learning. Never it is too late. You are only 22, which is a rising sun. DECISION DECIDES DESTINY, NOT HARD WORK. DO SMART WORK. I am always there with you. Do as I told you.

Hello, I'm principal of a high school in Srinagar. For the first time, we implemented online classes and AI-powered student assessment tools during the 2020 lockdown. Yet, many teachers resist technology fearing job loss or lack of skills. I want to lead this transformation- training teachers, redesigning curricula for 21st century skills, and forging industry partnerships for internships. But with limited budget and low digital literacy among staff, progress is slow. What change management strategies can help school leaders drive tech adoption and teacher upskilling? How can I build my own leadership capacities to champion educational innovation, and what funding models exist for digital learning infrastructure in K-12 schools?

Ans: Modern schools are fully geared for these innovations and you should vidit Delhi, visit some of them and do more research. Then you can apply them to your environment.

Sirji I completed my PhD abroad and returned hoping to work on cutting-edge gene editing therapies. However, our startup struggles with funding and regulatory hurdles, and I'm pulled into administrative and grant-writing work instead of core research.

Also, how can I find mentors who understand both science and entrepreneurship?

Ans: India is not a very easy place to build scientific companies but check out Venture Centre in Pune and write to Dr Premnath or super success Parul Ganju of Ahammune.

I lost 5 crores in my last business during Covid. I am yet to fully recover from the loss. I took up a job but I am not happy. My father in law is willing to loan me Rs 2 crore for 20 per cent equity. I want to enter the food business. Do you think this is a good decision?

Ans: Sure it is if you have the knowledge and clarity. You have to get started with your own capital and some seed funding from friebds and family. Once you have established product-market connect and start generating a steady steam of revenue, angel investors will help you scale.
