Hi Sir, Iam working in IT Company which is my second org joined in 2022 as of holding 4.5 years experience. These days I'm getting less work as customer is not creating issues due to which manager has added me in another product too but to my surprise I got to know that is going to be end of life and now I'm with the product which is getting less customer issues. Manager asking me upskill which iam ready always. Iam planning to shift from Java to Data Analyst as I'm interested in it. Hence could you please suggest me is this right time to shift and take chance, in Sept I get 2 years completion with my current org.

Ans: If you are interested in the data analytics domain, shifting after 4 or 5 years of experience with Java would be a perfect move. Numerous resources are available for free on YouTube and at nominal costs on platforms like Udemy, Coursera, etc. I would suggest learning SQL, Python, and one of the business intelligence tools like PowerBI or Tableau, which will serve you very well. I am happy to provide further advice if you have any follow-up questions on this.

Really appreciate for your quick response.

Ans: Hello
A quick revert as requested.
There is a saying that goes 'there is never a wrong time to do a right thing'.

Hi, I am working as MIS in a FMCG company with aged 41 years. Thinking to learn new data tools and want to apply for Data analyst. Am in a confusion whether to change the career

Ans: It's hard to change jobs when you're 41, but it's not impossible. If data interests you, start learning and make the switch slowly instead of all at once. Before moving up to a full-fledged Data Analyst job, you might need to get more experience in your present role, such as by working on Power BI reports or data analysis projects.

If you're really interested, go for it! There are lots of job opportunities in the area of data analytics, which is growing. All the Best for your Prosperous Future.

Hello sir , im an neet dropper preparing for 2025 . My marks are coming like 280 - 310 . I just want 550+ marks , can i get it in 60 days my syllabus about to finish , im very tensed sir and moreover my question practice is less too , i don't get time to revise physics and practice as i have test one day then gap and again test , so sur please help me atleast get 550+ marks . Its very difficult for me to think straight my parents have lot of expectations

Ans: Target: 550+ Marks
Biology: 340+ (Out of 360)

Chemistry: 140+ (Out of 180)

Physics: 70+ (Out of 180)

Stop over-stressing about tests. Use them to identify weak areas.

You are not alone — many NEET toppers had the same fears. They turned it into fuel, not fear.

Talk openly with your parents — they love you and will support you no matter what.

Focus on daily progress, not the big target.

Sleep well, eat light, and stay hydrated.

Resources You Can Use:
Biology: NCERT + MTG NCERT at Your Fingertips + Previous Year Questions.

Chemistry: NCERT + N Awasthi (Physical), M S Chauhan (Organic), NCERT Qs (Inorganic).

Physics: NCERT summary + DC Pandey objective questions + PYQs (NEET Focused).

Please remember: You're already much closer to your goal than you think. You just need direction, not perfection. My daughter will give NEET this year. Good luck

In 1995 Dec 2 i have received 100 Debenture in jindal vijayanagar steel. What is status right now?

Ans: The NCDs issued in 1995 were scheduled for redemption in installments over the 6th to 9th years, concluding by 2004. If you haven’t received the redemption amounts, it’s possible that the payments were returned due to address changes or other issues .
Reach out to JSW Steel’s Investor Relations or their Registrar and Transfer Agent (RTA) to inquire about the status of your debentures. Provide details like your folio number, certificate numbers, and any correspondence received.
If the debenture amounts remain unclaimed, they might have been transferred to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF). You can search for unclaimed amounts on the IEPF website.
