Question by Faiz on Jul 16, 2024Hindi

Career

Is bds is good or pharm D in comparison

Ans: Hi Faiz,

Greetings. As you are aware, both BDS and Pharm D are different. With BDS, you can pursue a master's in a highly in-demand course and there are plenty of opportunities available in India as a dentist. On the other hand, Pharm D is considered a postgraduate course. There is no need to pursue postgraduation, and there are relatively fewer opportunities available as a clinical pharmacist, with graduates not showing much interest in this job. However, if you develop the necessary skills, there is a bright future ahead similar to an MBBS.

Career

What is different between Pharm D & PhD in Pharmacy? Which one is better?

Ans: Hello Yamrik

Pharm D and PhD both are better depending on the goal of the person, and what he wishes to do in the future.

Pharm D (Doctor of Pharmacy): It prepares you to work as a pharmacist in the healthcare sector.

PhD in Pharmacy: It is useful for those who are interested in research, teaching, or drug development.

Hence, a better choice depends on your career goals

I am reshma confused for join bds or pharm d 6 years

Ans: Hi Reshma,

What exactly do you need from my side?

As you know, both fields are different and each requires practice to gain expertise. BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) is an undergraduate program in dentistry, while PharmD (Doctor of Pharmacy) is considered a postgraduate course. After completing a PharmD, one must consider pursuing a doctorate program, and there are currently no specializations available in India. However, abroad, you can claim expertise in a specific department.

On the other hand, after completing BDS, you can pursue a specialization at the postgraduate level and also have the opportunity to open your own clinic.
I have highlighted the most important factors. I believe this information may be sufficient for you to decide the course. If not, please send your query to the Rediff platform.

Hello Sir, My name is abhishek gupta , 22 year age and i failed in ca inter third attempt what should i do because i have a phone addiction and i am unable to secure Even passing marks in it.

Ans: Hello Abhishek
If you are serious about your career which you should be, try doing following when you sit for studies:-
1. Switch off or put your phone on airplane mode & lock it in some place not close to you
2. Check phone only during your planned breaks
3. You can even look at doing something drastic, as blocking yourself from social media sites/deleting such apps till you clear exam milestones etc.
Above simple steps done religiously make a significant impact in getting concentration/focus.
All the Best!

I’m a 22-year-old girl from Pune, and I’ve been struggling with job interviews. Every time I walk into an interview room, mera confidence bilkul hil jata hai. I either fumble with my answers or I completely blank out. I know I have the skills for the jobs I’m applying for, but itna stress ho jata hai ki sab kuch bhool jaati hoon. How can I deal with the performance anxiety and stress of not cracking an interview?

Ans: Hello
Interview anxiety is not uncommon & most face that.
Do practice/mock interviews with professionals (there are lot of them nowadays).
The only way to gain confidence is to PRACTICE.
Also do bit of introspection in terms of what gets you anxiety - subject knowledge/communication skills/public speaking?
Once you identify, put focused effort to improve that particular area.
All the Best!

Hi, I am 33 and a new mom. I have been earning 1.9 lakhs in hand per month till now. But I have an extremely toxic manager and there has been a recession in the education sector. Can I take a break and look for some other field? Will my decision affect me severely? I am currently doing PMI and hopefully will sit for the exam by Jan end. Do I have any prospect? Should I continue working in the toxic culture?

Ans: Hello
You have mentioned 'extremely toxic' hence it becomes imperative for you to move out at the earliest.
Ideally it is good to have something in hand but if it is taking longer than taking a break for focused effort towards alternative options is not a bad idea.
But do that with proper planning in terms of direction you wish to take, finances etc. & you will for sure find something meaningful.
Continue to deal with real bad work environment is certainly not advisable.
All the Best!
