How is symbiosis for BTech

Ans: I suggest your pick two more well known colleges in your region and compare them based on the faculty, placement track record, prominent alumni, MHRD NIRF ranking, NAAC ranking (where NAAC A++ is the highest). Research focus of the college, patents won and infrastructure as the parameters to pick. A bit of research will give you all the inputs. Do well in your engineering program. in case you are from Kolkata or W Bengal then admission closer home may be an added reason to tilt the choic.

Ans: Hello;

Having 12 funds(9 sip+3 lumpsum) in portfolio is not required.

You need to just 4 funds for your sip of 30 K(divided equally):
1. Flexicap fund
2. Large and midcap fund
3. Balanced advantage fund
4. Multi asset allocation fund

You may consider exiting the sectoral, thematic and debt fund owned by you and redeploy it in your regular funds.

This ensures equity(large cap oriented)is predominant asset class in your portfolio but it also has exposure to debt and gold for balance and risk mitigation.

Also keep a target to step up sip amount every year by 7-10% atleast.

This will go towards higher education provision for your kids. (~1.85 Cr in 15 years considering 7% annual top-up and 10% modest returns)

For your retirement planning you may consider NPS and start with a decent amount(~30 K pm) as regular investment since time is on your side(27 years to hit 60 age).[3.45 Cr in 27 years without any step up consideration. 8% returns assumed].

Consider buying home loan insurance and super top-up health cover.

Happy Investing;
