Respected Sir, I work at a mid-sized IT firm in Pune as a Java developer. With the rise of AI tools like Copilot and ChatGPT, I feel that basic coding jobs may become obsolete. I'm from a modest background and can't afford expensive upskilling courses. Would you recommend I focus on AI/ML self-learning through open platforms, or should I pivot toward roles like tech writing or product testing? How can I future-proof my career?

Ans: Yes you should be conversant with AI. Traditional coding and testing jobs will be eliminated.

Question by Seema - May 09, 2026Hindi

Career

Sir i want to become a pharmacist and open my medical drug store ..i want to study pharmacy in delhi by doing d pharma for 2 yrs then do lateral entry in b pharm and then open my medical store in bihar Bhagalpur..kindly guide me on this sir if what i am planning is good or not as i have less knowledge on this.

Ans: HI SEEMA,
GREETINGS FROM REDIFFGURUS!

I wanted to discuss your plans regarding starting a pharmacy shop. Are you considering opening a pharmacy only, or do you have other ideas in mind?

If you wish to start a pharmacy shop right away, you can proceed with a D.Pharm degree, and after three years, you can pursue a B.Pharm (PRACTICE - 3YEAR COURSE) for further practice.

However, if you prefer to study for a B.Pharm degree first, you can decide to open a pharmacy shop after completing it. This way, there's no need to do a D.Pharm before pursuing a B.Pharm, but keep in mind that it may take you an additional one or two years. For example, if you enroll in a D.Pharm program and later enter B.Pharm through lateral entry, that could mean 2 years for D.Pharm, followed by 3 years of B.Pharm, plus 6 months for an internship.(Totally it becomes 5.5 years rather 4 years).

So, I suggest you consider going directly for the B.Pharm.

If you have any doubts, kindly do share.
