Hello sir, Could you guide on what different masters program can be pursued abroad esp in USA after graduation from BAMS. Ayurveda credentials are not processed by WESS and that makes it difficult to apply for public health programs that accept only WESS through SOPHAS system.

Ans: Hi,

I think you have goals to move to the USA and settle there. Many graduates from fields like dentistry, pharmacy, or public health pursue opportunities in the USA. After completing their studies, they can find jobs related to public health or continue in their core subjects.

However, I don’t understand why you are choosing to study public health after becoming a doctor in Ayurveda. I feel it may be a waste of time and money. Moreover, the Indian medicine system is not practiced in the US, which is probably why it has not been included in the SHOPHAS (this is my understanding).

So, please plan accordingly.

Hello , my son is going from the 11th to the 12th ,preparing for JEE . His interest seems to be in Mathematics. We have heard of the Integrated Bsc - Msc course of Mathematics and Computing at Sastra university, Thanjavur. Please do let us know about this course in Sastra , and the scope for jobs or research in the future , if he takes up this course. Thank you
Ans: Sastra’s 5-year integrated BSc–MSc in Mathematics and Computing (Thanjavur) is a strong, math-intensive, research-oriented program ideal for students with a deep interest in mathematics who are open to careers in finance, data science, or academia. The curriculum blends core pure and applied mathematics with programming, statistics, and computing, preparing graduates for CSIR-NET, GATE (Maths), PhD-track admissions, as well as roles in data science, quantitative finance, actuarial science, cryptography, and software/data-driven R&D.

However, I highly recommend the Chennai Mathematical Institute (CMI), a top-tier pure mathematics institute offering a far more rigorous, research-focused environment. CMI is better suited if your son is strongly inclined toward pure mathematics or theoretical computer science research rather than applied IT-style careers.

Sastra’s integrated Mathematics and Computing is more practical and balanced, while CMI is preferable only if he aims for top-level pure math research or academia. Your son should choose CMI over SASTRA if he is truly math-driven, comfortable with a rigorous entrance test, and enjoys proof-based thinking, abstraction, algorithms, and research. Alternatively, he can choose SASTRA if he prefers mathematics combined with computing in a more mainstream university setting with a broader safety net and a less narrowly research-centric environment.

Both are good options, but I suggest giving preference to CMI if your son’s passion lies in pure mathematics. ALL the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Relationships Expert, Mind Coach - Answered on Apr 21, 2026

Relationship
My wife is a homemaker and doesn't value money. Since I married her, i have always tried to keep her happy but she insists spending on maids, shopping and kitties. I never hesitated whenever she asked for money, I have always provided it. But now our children are 12 and 14 and I need to save for their coaching and future. My wife thinks marrying me was a mistake because I am not able to meet her high standard of living. I earn Rs 60,000 out of which 20k goes on rent and 20K on my children's education. With the remaining amount, i pay EMIs and other household expenses. She is not willing to adjust. What should I do? I am very stressed.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
You two need a lesson or two on managing money. At the end of the day what is left is your disposable income that must be invested wisely for it to grow.
Learn Budgeting and set aside money under specific expenditure labels (fixed and variable) and then whatever is left, portion some towards fun and entertainment and the rest invest in something meaningful...You could seek the help of a close friend or family who are good at managing their monies and apply it to yourself...
But as a start point, be polite yet firm and emphasizing to your wife that you are managing the money from now on; it may seem like you are doubting her or taking away her power but just until you are able to put a system in place monies and slowly she will appreciate what you are doing for her and the family. Start somewhere...

All the best!
