I am kiran graduated in 2019 in Mechanical Engineering after graduation I got job in public sector steel plant based on my diploma so since 2019 I have been doing job in Steel psu as non-executive, now my age is 26 i realised there is no future scope in my current company so I want to resign and study , I'm thinking to join mtech in reputed university, is it worthy decision??

Ans: Deciding to pursue further education, such as an M.Tech. from a reputed university, can be a significant step towards advancing your career, especially if you feel that there are limited growth opportunities in your current role. Reflect on your long-term career goals and aspirations. Consider whether obtaining an M.Tech aligns with your career objectives and whether it will help you progress towards achieving them. Research the job market for mechanical engineers with an M.Tech. degree to assess the potential career opportunities available to you after completing the program. Evaluate the relevance of an M.Tech. degree in mechanical engineering to your desired industry or field of specialization. Determine whether the knowledge and skills gained through the M.Tech. program will enhance your professional competencies and make you more competitive in the job market. Consider how pursuing an M.Tech. degree can contribute to your personal and professional development. Reflect on the opportunity to deepen your understanding of mechanical engineering concepts, engage in research or practical projects, and collaborate with peers and faculty members in a university setting. Assess the financial implications of pursuing an M.Tech. degree, including tuition fees, living expenses, and potential loss of income during the duration of the program. Explore the scholarship, fellowship, or financial aid options available to support your education and minimize financial strain. Research and evaluate the reputation and accreditation of the universities or institutions offering M.Tech. programs in mechanical engineering. Consider the networking opportunities available through an M.Tech program, including interactions with faculty members, industry professionals, and fellow students. Consider how you will manage the logistics of resigning from your current job, applying for M.Tech. programs, and preparing for your future career. Ultimately, the decision to pursue an M.Tech. degree should be based on a careful evaluation of your career goals, personal interests, financial considerations, and the potential benefits of further education in advancing your career. If you believe that obtaining an M.Tech. degree will provide you with valuable skills, knowledge, and opportunities for career advancement, then it may indeed be a worthy decision for you.

Money
Sir, Age: 26 Subject: NPS ( National Pension Scheme) Scheme Choice : LC 75 ( Aggressive Auto Choice) Tier : Tier 1 Pension Fund: ICICI Prudential Pension Fund Current value of scheme : Rs. 57927/- Investing Rs. 5600/- on a monthly basis My goals: Want my portfolio to beat inflation and provide a pension of Rs. 1 lakh monthly ( in hopes that beating inflation value of Rs. 1 lakh does not decrease over time) Time horizon : 34 years Questions: 1. Sir will my NPS scheme beat inflation? 2. Is the Pension Fund ( ICICI Prudential) a good choice or should I shift? 3. Will one lakh pension after 34 years be enough to support my lifestyle? (Assuming that everything pans out smoothly) 4. Judging by today's tax law income up to 12 lakh p.a. is non taxable, will I be taxed on my pension still if the law remains as is? (Hypothetical question) My details : 1.Unmarried, never planning on marriage or kids ever. 2.Current utility bills amount to Rs. 15,000 per month 3. Other expenses Rs. 5-7k per month. 4. I have other investments too, but I want to know if I can rely on NPS in old age or not. With this information alone, is retirement with NPS feasible?
Ans: Hello;

Your current expenses add upto 22 K per month.

After 34 years this amount will be 1.6 L per month considering 6% inflation.

This would need a corpus of 5-6 Cr.

Your current investment would fetch you around 1.2 Cr which is quite low.

You need to invest minimum 25 K per month in NPS to expect 5 Cr+ corpus build after 34 years. (A modest 8% return considered from NPS)

Also you may shift from Auto choice to Active choice so as to ensure 75% allocation to equity upto 50 age.(In Auto choice after 35 age equity allocation is tapered down).

You are allowed to have different fund managers for different asset classes based on their performance in respective category.

Current fund manager looks okay however you need to review performance every year.

For generating retirement corpus it is better to have 2-3 investment avenues rather then a single one.

A mix of EPF/PPF, NPS and MFs should be more appropriate.

Best wishes;
