Ans: If you have 4 or 5+ years of work experience, you can try for executive MBA from any of the top institutes like IIM A, B, C, ISB, XL, etc. You would need to write the GMAT for the same. If you have less than that work ex, then can try for executive MBA from either ISB or Great Lakes.

Sir ,I have been preparing for government exams since 2018 June firstly I prepare for gate in 2019 with college semester in 2019 gate result I.e, 2019 March I qualify with 46 marks that's somehow good score that time for me because I prepare with self study due to over confidence and lack of family income I didn't join coaching and started preparing for UPSC engineering services with full dedication at the age of 20.5 in 2019 eligible for ese 2020 with 21 yr age somehow I got 150 around marks and didn't qualify prelims that time cut off around 240 due to railway has taken his seats so UR cut off increase by 60 which is 188 last in 2019 ese so I got in depression that I prepare with full dedication and even I have a gap of 100 marks in prelims so somehow I came to home in june 2020 after a huge gap of depression in 4,5 months in delhi and started for gate and ese again same condition I couldn't even qualify prelims and got covid in 2021 and from that 2021 I joined UNACADEMY work 1.5 yrs and again I started preparation due to less salary now I have a gap of 5 years no masters degree no industrial skillls and family income less than 20k per month what should I do go and search for civil engineering related job or build a confidence and again prepare one more attempt

Ans: I have gone through the details of your Efforts, Failures, Depression & Your family’s Economic condition.

Based on the above factors, here are the suggestions for you:

1) Till your age bars, try to attempt other comparatively easier (than UPSC) Competitive Exams for Government Jobs & prepare daily for 2-3 hours before & after you come back from work.

2) But AVOID attempting those Competitive Exams which you have already done a number of times and failed. Lack of change in preparation strategies / change in Govt. Policy are the reasons for your subsequent failures.

3) Keeping in view your family’s economic condition & your AGE now, it is suggested to DEFINITELY go for any work, related to your domain, to support your family.

4) Try to upgrade your skills by joining short-term courses with any Institute, related to your domain (or) any other domain you are passionate over. However, make sure that the Institute you join provides JOB GUARANTEE after you complete the Course. Or you can join any ONLINE Courses which are much in demand in job-market.

5) If time does not permit for you to prepare for Competitive Exams & if you feel you are highly demotivated for Govt. Exams, it is advisable for you to fully FOCUS on your Career, related to Civil Engineering & gain good experience.

Hope I have clarified your doubts.

If you need any other clarifications 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 Bright Future from RediffGURU.

Question by Nandu - Nov 16, 2024Hindi

Career

I have completed my msc in biochemistry n now doing internship but I am confusing about my future because I see this field don't pay me inuff for life even for future... N don't have more jobs in Maharashtra. I don't like production jobs but in Pharma only production pay much so what can I do .. Can u suggest me which job is high payable after Msc biochemistry

Ans: Hi Nandu,

Greetings!

Could you please let me know which year you completed your course and whether you are currently doing an internship or apprenticeship? An internship is part of the curriculum, where students gain practical training, sometimes with a stipend and sometimes without. After completing your course, you can opt for an apprenticeship, which typically lasts one to one and a half years and includes a stipend, usually split 50%-50% between the industry and government.

If you are in the internship phase, please inform me about the specific field you are working in. Initially, you may not expect a high salary, but after gaining expertise in your field, your compensation will improve. Typically, this takes about three years, so it’s important to focus on skill acquisition for a better future.

If your internship aligns with your field of study, I encourage you to continue and consider starting a medical lab or exploring opportunities in medical devices related to biochemistry. However, pursuing a career in pharmaceutical production may not be suitable for you, as it is a different field, and you may find it challenging to grasp the processes involved since you are currently inexperienced in that area.

Please share the specific field of your internship, and I would be happy to provide more tailored advice.
with regards

Ans: Hello,

To begin with, thank you for reaching out to us. To answer your question, it’s definitely possible for you to pursue an MS in AI/ML in the USA after completing your BTech in Mechanical Engineering! Since you have a solid background in engineering, you’ll likely have a good foundation in math, algorithms, and problem-solving, which are key in AI/ML. However, you might need to take some additional courses in programming, statistics, or machine learning fundamentals before applying, depending on the program. It’s important to research the specific requirements for the universities you're interested in and make sure you meet their prerequisites, but with the right preparation, your background can actually make you a strong candidate!

Sir, I am a Nigerian. My Son got a Post graduate admission in Germany (Project Management) with 40% scholarship. He is 22 years old and a great footballer. Is there a future for him in Germany after graduation?

Ans: Hello,

First of all, congrats to your son on his admission and scholarship! To answer your question, Germany offers great opportunities for international students, especially if he's willing to explore the job market after graduation. With a degree in Project Management and a strong football background, he could potentially tap into both the corporate world and the sports sector. He could even combine his project management knowledge with his football interest by working as a football team manager. The key is networking, gaining relevant experience, and possibly learning German, as it would open more doors. His age and athleticism can definitely give him an edge in both professional and sports-related careers in Germany.
