Once i will clear then i have to study for CS professional examination totally unpredictable that how much time it will take to complete. At 30 family will start pressurize for getting married. And i am not joining any HR jobs onsite or not taking any onsite opportunities or growing in my career coz then i will deviate from my CS study. Totally in dilemma what should i do . Please guide sir Thanks

Ans: Thank you for sharing your dilemma to me. It sounds like you're facing a lot of pressure and uncertainty about your career, education, and personal life. Please assess your priorities and set realistic goals for your career and education. Consider the time and effort required to complete your CS executive and professional examinations, and develop a study plan that allows you to balance your studies with your other commitments. Develop effective time management strategies to prioritize your tasks and allocate sufficient time for studying, work, and personal activities. Break down your study goals into manageable tasks and set deadlines to stay on track with your progress.

It is better to have an open and honest conversation with your family about your career and education goals, as well as your timeline for completing your CS examinations. Discuss your concerns and the support you need to achieve your goals while addressing their expectations regarding marriage. Remember that it's okay to seek support and make adjustments to your plans as needed. Trust yourself, stay focused on your goals, and believe in your ability to overcome challenges and achieve success in your career and education endeavors. Best of luck!

I'm 24.5 years old female, unemployed B.Tech graduate. Prepared TN state services Exam for 3.5 years. Failed in final stage. Gave few central govt exams also but in that also failed in final stage. Financial condition : single mother with 15k salary. Brother preparing for jee 2024. He has to join engineering in june 2024. Uncertain. My state of mind : 1. I must give SSC exam which are on second half of 2024. But i am afraid, if i dont clear this time, another 1 year waste of time. 2. I can't imagine myself in IT industry/BPO because i fear coding and tele calling job because of their uncertain nature. 3. At present, i can't ask my mother for my marriage also because this year my brother's college addmission is the priority? What should i do?
Ans: I understand your concerns and challenges. Given your B.Tech background and financial situation, consider exploring non-technical government exams beyond SSC that align with your strengths and interests. Focus on enhancing your skills through short-term courses or online certifications related to your chosen field. Additionally, consider part-time or remote work options to contribute to the family income while pursuing your goals. Prioritizing your mental health and well-being is crucial during this challenging time. Communicate openly with your family about your aspirations and challenges to seek their support. Remember that everyone's journey is unique, and it's okay to take the time you need to find the right path for yourself. All the best for your future!!

Ans: I have gone through your query and understand that you are at the Cross roads of Life.

It's at these times... When the going gets tough... The tough gets gong.
That's your strength.. A tough resilient young lady!
Kindly note you are doing an excellent job hence rewarded with better pay in your organization.. Obviously there's going to be jealousy..Be calm & Handle it with maturity.

Now I understand you are very committed selfless person. Who's contributing a lot to your family,... Wow in fact helping build your own new house. !

In regards to your contractual job, talk to your employer, let them know, that you would have to look for another job post December 2024 if there's no clear further commitment.

In regard to your marriage at 27 you aren't too old to find a like minded partner don't rush and regret, start the process through matrimonial apps.

I see you talk about your health, especially blood pressure, well that's because you are unduly stressed.
Add tender coconut water to your diet, talk to a proper Ayurvedic doctor..!

I am sure you will get over this mid life syndrome and invite us all for your happy day!

Hi I started my CA at the age of 23.5 along with job , and I eventually managed to cleared group 1 of ca inter May 2024 and for second group I gave jan 25 attempt but failed due do poor marks in cost , this wan an first attempt , but now I skipped may 25 attempt because I was not clear shoup I gave one more attempt or not but I didn't, I quit my job due to study but result doesn't came well and i am considering to prepare for govt job while doing job , I lf I prepare for ca it will take 28 If from there I managed to clear infirst attempt , I may be feeling that while working and preparing govt is better decision. Shoul I continued my CA journey or should I quit it , any suggestions please
Ans: At a career crossroads, it's crucial to consider your priorities and interests, such as passion for CA and interest in government jobs. The time and effort required for CA exams or SSC, UPSC, and Banking Exams, should be considered. Financial considerations should also be taken into account, as if FINANCIAL STABILITY is a priority, returning to a job while preparing for a government exam might be a safer option. Alternative approaches include a hybrid approach, switching fully to government jobs for stability, structured work, and benefits, or trying one more CA attempt if you still have the motivation and confidence. If you're passionate about CA and believe you can clear it with focused effort, give it another chance. If you're unsure and more inclined towards job security, it's practical to shift towards government job preparation while working. Commit to your decision fully and avoid constantly second-guessing. All the best for your prosperous future!

I got an seat in SRM KTR main campus for btech in CSE core but the fees is around 4.75 lakhs per year is there best to join and any help about the placement for CSE core or should I look into some other college any guidance will be helpful thank in advance.
Ans: SRM Kattankulathur (KTR) CSE is NAAC A++ and NIRF 13th-ranked, with a ?4–4.75 lakh annual fee. CSE placements are strong: 80%+ students placed, 1,300+ recruiters, and over 5,500 offers in 2024, with top companies like Microsoft, Amazon, TCS, and Infosys. The curriculum is industry-oriented, faculty are research-active, and the campus features modern computing labs and robust alumni support. However, the fee is significantly higher than many comparable private colleges. If cost is not an issue, SRM KTR’s CSE remains a top private option, but for value, you may consider alternatives like RV College of Engineering, MS Ramaiah Institute of Technology, or Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering in Bangalore, where fees are lower (?1–2 lakh/year), placements are similarly strong (75–95%), and industry exposure is high. VIT Vellore is also a premier alternative, consistently ranked higher, with a similar or better placement record and slightly lower fees.

Recommendation: Join SRM KTR CSE if you seek a top-ranked, industry-focused, and placement-strong private university and cost is not a concern; otherwise, consider RVCE, MSRIT, or VIT Vellore for comparable placements, lower fees, and strong industry reputation. Avoid lesser-known private colleges for better long-term value. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Relationship
I'm 18 and I broke up with my bf months ago.. It took me a lot of time to realise it was a toxic relationship but I still don't think I have completely moved on. Like basically it began after I showed a little interest in him,and then he proposed and I said yes. I didn't know much about him then. I'm a good student and always excelled academically and he initially appreciated that..he was really a insecure guy and I tried to comfort him but then things got bad he began to feel off and I started developing feelings for another guy so I broke up with him. And till now he tells his friends I played with him.. I never got into any relationship after him though that guy ( the second one) proposed ( I realised he never respected me either) and he (my ex) accuses me of cheating...i dealt with all these things while giving my boards..after 6-7 months of my breakup.. results were announced..I topped my school. Then I messaged my ex in a friendly way and he seemed to be really jealous and like.. spoke like he couldn't stand my status..he still gives status claiming that he loves me and I left him because he is not as good as me ....what do I do..even my friends told all of this is my fault since I kinda started it and I admit I was not a very good gf either...what do I do..I still get flashbacks of his hurting words and maybe like I'm more concerned about how to get my image back in school after dating him..or what others are thinking
Ans: Dear Ishani,
If you thought he wasn’t good for you, and things were off, you must have had good reasons for thinking so; you are too young to understand love. People usually mistake infatuation for love. If you think you were right to make that choice, stick to it. Do not let others tell you what is right or wrong. There’s always two sides to every story. Focus on your studies; build your career. All these will be long forgotten. What others are thinking should never be your concern when you have not done anything wrong.
Best of luck for your future.
