Good Evening Sir My Son jee 2023 percentile is 96.42 %. He is interested for B. Tech. in Computer Science. We belongs to Haryana State. I want to know that in Computer science which field should be choosen for future and ongoing happenings/ career options : 1) Computer science OR 2) Computer engineering OR 3) Computer science & engineering OR 4) Computer science & engineering (artificial intelligence & machine learning) Or 5) Computer science & engineering (blockchain) OR 6) Computer science & engineering (data science) OR 7) Computer science & engineering (cyber security) OR 8) Computer science & engineering (internet of things) OR 9) Computer science & engineering (genome engineering & technology) OR 10) Computer science & engineering (drug engineering) OR 11) Computer science & engineering (robotics) OR 12) Computer science & engineering (energy engineering) OR 13) Electronics & communication engineering with minor degree in electric vehicles. Kindly reply for better future of my son.
Ans: Selecting a specialisation in Computer Science is a tough decision. While all the specialisations have immense career potential and shall thrive in the future, it is also crucial to gauge your child's interest. I recommend that your son should research about these topics individually and understand what all fields he finds interesting. If he is still not able to get clarity on his interests, he should join colleges that allow him to choose these specialisations after some time into the degree. This shall allow him to gain exposure in all of the fields and gauge his interests accordingly.
At Scaler School of Technology, we teach the students the fundamentals of Computer Science in the first 18 Months, let them experience the corporate world in the next 12 months and then, they finally get the option to make an educated decision about what specialisations they want to pursue. Additionally they would also get industry mentors who would help them know more about the specialisation and opportunities.

Hi, My name is Kunal, I am 38 years old and my wife is 30 years old. I will be retired at the age of 60. I have two kids, a boy(9 years) and a girl(3 years). My basic is 57000 and I get 3% annual increment on basic. My take home salary is 48000. I have PPF(12500/M), SSY(2000/M) and LIC(5850/M) and our monthly expenses around 20000. I want to buy a home, children's educational expenses and my retirement goals are 1 Cr. Can you give a valuable strategy, how and where to invest to get my all goals?
Ans: I presume you have endowment type life insurance policy from LIC, the returns from which are not up to the mark. If you can surrender it and take a term insurance plan then you can still save around 50K annually after factoring Term Plan premium of 20K pa, considering your current annual payment to LIC of ~70K. That translates to investible surplus of 4K + current monthly disposal income after expenses: 7K, So 11K SIP can be initiated. 4K SIP for 15 years will led to corpus of 22L+(13%return assumed) for daughter's education

If surrendering the LIC policy is not an option then you can still deploy the current balance of 7K + incremental disposable part of salary each year into a SIP for 22 years considering conservative return of 13% it can still build a retirement corpus of 1Cr+ as desired.

You can fund son's higher education through PPF but for daughter's education you need to hike investments in SSY also to 1.5L pa and for house you will need to find home loan(Use EPF partial withdrawal towards down payment)

Here it pertinent to note that you may need to increase your income in some way maybe either job change or spouse working so to have additional funds to invest for your goal fulfillment. Happy to help if you have any further queries.

Money
I am 16 and I want to invest in mutual funds. I get pocket money of Rs 3000 per month. After cutting costs, I save about Rs 1200-1500 per month. Can I invest this in SIPs? My goal is to buy a Yamaha bike In December 2025 for my 18th birthday which costs Rs 1.5 lakh. I have already saved Rs 40,000. Where can I invest so that I can double my savings by next year? Please advice
Ans: Dear
It’s awesome that you’re thinking about investing at such a young age! Your goal of buying a Yamaha bike for your 18th birthday is achievable with the right investment strategy. Let’s break it down:
1. SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) for Your Monthly Savings you can absolutely invest your savings in SIPs. With Rs 1200-1500 available per month, SIPs are a great way to start investing in mutual funds. They allow you to invest small amounts regularly, and over time, you can benefit from compounding and rupee-cost averaging, which means your money can grow steadily. However, since your goal is just over a year away (December 2025), you’ll need to invest in something that balances growth with moderate risk, because mutual funds, especially equity ones, can be volatile in the short term.
2. How Much You Need to Save - Your target is Rs 1.5 lakh, and you’ve already saved Rs 40,000.- So, you need Rs 1.1 lakh more by December 2025. - You have roughly 15 months left, meaning you need to save or grow your savings by about Rs 7333 per month to meet your goal.
3. Investment Options - Given your short time frame, here are a few options to consider: - Hybrid or Balanced Mutual Funds: These funds invest in both stocks (equity) and bonds (debt), providing moderate growth with relatively lower risk than pure equity funds. While they might not double your savings in a year, they can give you better returns than a bank savings account. On average, you could expect returns of 8-10% per year. - Debt Mutual Funds: These are safer compared to equity mutual funds but offer lower returns, typically 6-8% per year. Debt funds might be a good option if you want to minimize risk, though they won't give huge returns in a short time. - Recurring Deposits (RDs): If you’re looking for safety and guaranteed returns, an RD in a bank might be a safer option, though the returns will be around 5-6%. This won’t help double your money, but it’s secure.
4. Doubling Your Money in a Year- While it’s tempting to look for ways to double your money quickly, it’s important to understand that high returns usually come with high risk. Investing in high-risk options like **stock trading** or **cryptocurrencies** could lead to losses, especially over such a short period.
Unfortunately, doubling your money in just over a year is not realistic without taking on significant risk. A better approach is to aim for stable growth and possibly adjust your bike budget or timeframe if necessary.
5. Action Plan - Start a SIP in a **balanced or hybrid mutual fund** with your monthly savings of Rs 1200-1500.
- Continue saving as much as possible to reach your target.
- Be cautious of high-risk investments, as they could hurt your savings in the short term.
So the Conclusion that by investing in SIPs and sticking to a disciplined savings plan, you should be able to get close to your goal. While doubling your money may not happen within a year, steady growth will help you build towards your dream bike.
If you need more personalized advice, consider speaking to a financial advisor to find the best funds for your situation.
