sir i had filled my jee mains form with general category my exams are done and I have an ews certificate with me may i apply ews certificate at the time of counselling and may I eligible for jee advance because my cutoff get clear if I apply my ews certificate

Ans: Yes, a candidate can produce an EWS certificate after JEE Mains and before JEE Advanced application, but it's crucial to ensure the certificate is valid for the JEE Advanced year. For JEE Advanced 2025, the EWS certificate needs to be issued on or after April 1, 2025.

I had filled jee main April form as a general category student . But now I have ews certificate. Can I change my category after exams. Is there any possibility that I could get benefits of ews certificate

Ans: Once the correction window (if already opened for 2 days) has closed, altering your category becomes challenging. The details provided in your application are typically considered final for the purpose of result processing and rank list preparation. You can still try and call NTA's Contact Number and send a mail along with the proof of your EWS Category Certificate. Chances are less as generally, after the correction window is closed & changing your category during JoSAA counseling is not permitted, especially from an unreserved (General) category to a reserved category (EWS, OBC-NCL, SC, ST). This is because category-based reservations require prior verification and validation. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future.

Career

Sir, I had filled and given my jee mains as gen-ews candidate. But now iam unable to collect the ews certificate. Can i do jossa counselling as general. Category??

Ans: Adhik, If you cannot produce your EWS certificate, you can participate in JoSAA counselling as a General category candidate. However, you won't be able to avail reservation benefits under the EWS category. To proceed, select the General category during registration, and rank and seat allotment will be based on the General category cut-offs. All the best for your admissions!

Ans: Manipal main campus offers a lively, cosmopolitan environment with a diverse student population and a healthy academic-social balance. Facilities are top-notch, including modern hostels, a vast library, advanced labs, and one of India’s best sports complexes. The campus is Wi-Fi enabled, eco-friendly, and designed for student comfort and productivity. Exposure to industry, research, and entrepreneurship is strong, with active placement support and numerous opportunities for career advancement. In terms of campus life, infrastructure, and opportunities, Manipal is fully comparable to BITS and stands among India’s best private engineering campuses for all-round development and future prospects. However, kindly be informed that it might not be suitable for some students. It would be beneficial to conduct further research about Manipal University Campuses in Southern India and its non-academic factors on platforms like Quora or Google and/or personally visit the campus before making a decision to join there. Have other back-ups too. All the best for your admission and a bright future!

Money

My age 34 i have no job since last 10 yrs and have health problems from childhood. My mother has invested whatever money i earned 5 lacs in post office. She has invested 21 lacs mutual fund hers and mine name,8 lacs in lic single plans 20 lacs lic regular policies and 8 lacs sriram and ban deposits.i am covered under her lic medical since she retired from lic.what other way can she invest for me

Ans: Dear Friend,
Given your health and unemployment, your mother’s diversified investments in mutual funds, LIC policies, post office schemes, and fixed deposits provide a good safety net. To further secure your future, focus on low-risk options like senior citizen savings schemes, government bonds, and fixed deposits for steady returns. Consider health or critical illness insurance to cover medical expenses. Systematic Withdrawal Plans (SWPs) from mutual funds can provide regular income. Gold ETFs can add inflation protection. Prioritize safety and liquidity to ensure financial stability. Consulting a financial advisor for a tailored plan will help manage your needs better.

Money

I am 42 years and My husband is 45, We both are running a Sofa manufacturing factory.We have 2 kids 1 is in grade 6 and another is 3.5 years old. We don't have any EMI,I have saved money to both of my children 6 lakhs each in FD. Myself and my husband have saved around 30 lakhs which we have kept in FD, we have health insurance and 5 lakhs I have invested in ICICI mutual funds. We have our own house, car which are EMI free. Since too much competition in Sofa industry gradually business has gone down . If we decide to close our factory how much money should I have in my account to lead happy and tension free retirement life or what should we do know to have a good life.

Ans: Dear Friend,
You're in a strong financial position—no EMIs, own home, and decent savings. At 42 and 45, with two young children, you still have 10–15 years to earn and build wealth for a peaceful retirement actively.
You're financially stable with ?30L in FDs, ?12L saved for kids, and ?5L in mutual funds. But if you plan to close your factory, assess alternate income sources or part-time work. To retire comfortably, aim to build a corpus of ?3–4 crore over the next 15 years through a mix of equity mutual funds (SIP ?50–70k/month), PPF, and targeted investments for your kids' higher education. Keep 1–2 years of expenses in liquid funds. Since you’re debt-free, focus on maximising savings and generating passive income to ensure a tension-free retired life.

Hi Financial Guru's I am 32 and my wife 30 years old (no kids) earning 4L/mnth and also we have 1.3L/mnth of rental income , total 5.3L/mnth post taxation We have a home loan of 2.2 cr currently for 29 years old at 7.5% intrest Our goal is to close the home loan and create enough savings to retire at the age of 45 without worrying about the study of a kid. We are expecting to spend 1L/mnth once we reach age of 45, Based on our current spends trend ( also adding the inflation and educational expenses of a kid) Please Advise us the mode and the amount required to save to achieve this target of ours before we reach 45. Currently we don't have any savings of our own in any form.

Ans: Dear Friend,
You have a strong foundation with a combined monthly income of ? 5.3 L and a clear goal to retire by 45. Prioritise building an emergency fund of ?10–15 L first. Then, the monthly surplus (after expenses and EMIs) will be split between aggressive investments (70% in equity mutual funds/SIPs) and moderate options like PPF or NPS (30%). Target building a retirement corpus of ?6–7 crore by 45, which can support ?1L/month inflation-adjusted expenses. Simultaneously, prepay your home loan aggressively—aim to close it in 10–12 years by channeling bonuses/rent. Use term/life insurance and plan for your child’s education via dedicated SIPs. Disciplined investing is key to achieving your goals. Advice is to meet a Financial Advisor and create your life and goal plan.

I recently got married. I have a corpus of 25 lacs in MF, 2 lacs in equity, 1 lac in gold and 1.5 in fd. Expenditure - 26k rent, 15k send to parents, 26k Emi for a 17.6 lacs loan, Investment- 18k per month in MF My take home is 1.65 lacs . I want to a buy a flat and a want to take a car around 10 -13 lacs.. Please suggest me how to plan it. Sson i want to plan baby as well

Ans: Dear Friend,
Congratulations on your recent marriage! You have a strong financial foundation and a healthy income.
You're financially stable with a solid income and existing investments. Before buying a flat and car, prioritize building a 3–6 month emergency fund. Limit total EMIs (existing + new) to under 45% of your take-home pay. Consider a flat within ?70L, using ?20L from your corpus and a ?50L loan. Buy the car only after finalizing your home purchase—opt for a 50% down payment and a short loan term. Start a small SIP for future baby-related expenses. You're on the right path—ensure you don't stretch your finances too thin by taking on too much debt at once.
A financial advisor is like a doctor of finance who suggests the required actions and helps you achieve your financial goals. So do not hesitate to consult a Financial Advisor.

I m 37yrs old i have 67 thousand per month salary i want to build a house and want to take home loan of 40 lakh I m confused it is my bad decision or good after all i have to pay a huge amount for 20yrs long time ..plz help

Ans: Dear Friend,
Taking a ?40 lakh home loan at age 37 on a ?67,000 monthly salary is a major financial decision that requires careful planning. Ideally, your EMI should not exceed 40% of your monthly income—around ?27,000 in your case. A ?40 lakh loan for 20 years at 8.5% interest would mean an EMI of approx ?34,700, which is over 50% of your income—this can be risky, especially if you have other expenses or no emergency fund.

Suggestion:

Reduce loan amount by saving more or choosing a smaller house.

Try for a co-applicant (like a working spouse) to improve eligibility.

Ensure you have a 6-month emergency fund before taking a loan.

Reconsider the timing or loan size if it strains your finances.
It’s not a bad goal—but proceed only if it fits your budget safely.
