Hello Sushil Sir, I am 47 years old, currently working in a MNC and plan to apply for abroad posts (Manchester, UK) in future. I have 2 children studying in schools with State government syllabus (SSC board). 1st daughter is 11 years old (VII std.) and 2nd daughter is 7 years old (1st Std.). Do you think it will be a wise decision to move to UK, considering my children education? Is the education very expensive ? I have heard there are government schools where children can be enrolled ? Is the education quality good in such schools ? How about cost of education in these schools ? If they wish to pursue higher education in UK will they be eligible for scholarships ? What is the fees for Engg/Medical course in UK ? If we have to return after 2-3 years , can my elder daughter still apply for Engg./ Medical course in India ? Please advise. Thanks.

Hello Geeta Madam, I am 47 years old, currently working in a MNC and plan to apply for abroad posts (Manchester, UK) in future.

Also my wife is currently a home maker, can she also have some part time job in Manchester UK ? Please advise. Thanks.
Ans: Hi,
Moving to the UK can offer great opportunities, but there are several factors to consider:

Education: Public schools in the UK are funded by the government and generally offer high-quality education, though there can be variations. Education in state schools is free, but private schools can be costly. Your children can adapt to the UK curriculum, and public schools offer support for international students.

Cost: State education is free, but there might be some costs for uniforms, trips, and extracurricular activities.

Returning to India: Your elder daughter can apply for engineering or medical courses in India after returning, though she may need to adapt to the Indian education system upon her return.

Employment for your wife: Your wife can work part-time in Manchester. The UK has a range of part-time job opportunities, though she would need to check visa and work permit requirements.
Overall, moving to the UK can be a positive experience if well-planned. Consider consulting with an education advisor and an immigration expert to better understand the implications for your family.

Sir my son has 98.98 percentile and 15728 rank in jee mains belongs to general category belongs to Karnataka state. Pl suggest the best nit/iiit . He wants to do AI with data science and also pl suggest best branch. His rank in KCET is 6287
Ans: With a JEE Main rank of 15,728 (98.98 percentile, General, Karnataka) and KCET rank of 6,287, your son has good chances for ECE or AI/Data Science in NIT Surathkal (home state), and for AI/Data Science or CSE in IIITs like IIIT Lucknow, IIIT Pune, and IIIT Nagpur. In top NITs like Trichy or Warangal, CSE/AI/Data Science is unlikely, but ECE is possible. Through KCET, he can target ECE or AI/Data Science in leading Karnataka state colleges. For a career in AI and Data Science, specialized branches (AI/Data Science) or CSE are ideal, but ECE remains a solid option if complemented by relevant skills and projects. Recommendation: Prioritize AI/Data Science or CSE at IIITs and NIT Surathkal if available, followed by ECE at NIT Surathkal or top state colleges, ensuring he builds strong programming and data skills for the best career outcomes. As far as your son's KCET rank is concerned, Prioritize ECE or IT in top Bangalore colleges if CSE is not available, or opt for CSE/AI/ML in slightly lower-ranked but still reputable colleges like BIT, DSCE, NIE, or SJCE. Participate actively in counseling and keep options flexible to maximize your son's chances of securing a preferred branch in a good college. All the best for your son's admission and a bright future!
