To begin with, thank you for contacting us. I am glad to hear that your daughter will be completing her Master’s of Dental Surgery as an Orthodontist the following year. Concerning your query as to whether she can remain in India itself and acquire a better future, I would like to tell you that we only deal with overseas education. Similarly, concerning your query as to whether it is okay to send your daughter abroad for better future prospects after she completes her degree, I would like to tell you that doing so can be a fantastic opportunity. Nevertheless, there are a number of aspects that need to be taken into account. First and foremost, your daughter will need to make sure that her qualifications are globally acknowledged. Moreover, she should ensure that these qualifications fulfill the prerequisites for licensing of the country she intends practicing in.

Several aspects viz., the living standards, language competency, preferences based on culture, as well as the job prospects play a key role in deciding which country is better. As asked by you, I would like to say that the UK, the USA, Australia, and Canada are some of the typical locations for one seeking a job in orthodontics.

The costs of living, tuition costs, as well as possible licensing and examination costs are associated costs included in pursuing a profession overseas that can be significant. I would recommend that on choosing the country for better future prospects, your daughter conducts a thorough study on particular costs as well as looks into various scholarships and possibilities for monetary assistance. Not just that, she should also check if she requires to undergo training or appear for certification exams to fulfill the requirements set by the country in order for her to be able to practice Orthodontics. The prerequisites for visa should also be taken into account by your daughter. Lastly, I would like to say that it can be an excellent decision to send your daughter overseas for better future possibilities. Nevertheless, to guarantee a smooth transition, a comprehensive study and meticulous planning is required.

Sir, My daughter has completed MBBS from Ukraine. Is it ok to send her abroad to make future prospectus? what is your advice.. which country is better?, What is the cost involved?
Ans: Hello Yadav,

First and foremost, thank you for getting in touch with us. I am pleased to hear that your daughter has completed her MBBS from Ukraine. Concerning your query as to whether it is okay to send your daughter abroad, I would like to tell you that although it can be a wise decision and an excellent chance to send her to another country to either pursue further education or to start her profession, this decision should be well thought of. Next, to decide as to which country would be ideal, I would like to say that your daughter’s preferred field of study, her professional ambitions, the cost, as well as the linguistic preferences, play a prominent role in deciding this. On completing an MBBS degree, Canada, Australia, the USA, the UK, as well as several European nations are among the sought-after locations to pursue higher education.

The tuition fees, housing costs, costs of living, and other associated expenditures are all included in the cost to study overseas. Your daughter should take into account these costs. However, remember that based on the country your daughter decides to study in and her preferred university or course, these costs can differ. Moreover, to reduce the cost of studying abroad, a number of scholarships and possibilities for monetary assistance are available that your daughter should consider. I would recommend that your daughter conducts an extensive study on the universities and programs in the countries of her choosing, whilst taking into account the educational standards, employment prospects post graduation, as well as the immigration guidelines, prior to making an informed choice. Moreover, to receive useful advice based on your daughter's personal circumstances and goals, she should get in touch with academic advisors or career counselors.

Dear Sushil, My daughter ( only child) is doing her final year from Amity -Mumbai, Bsc-Clinical Psychology. She wants to go abroad .Which will be good country. What will be the Expenses and whether the career has scope abroad.
Ans: Hello MANOJ,

First and foremost, thank you for getting in touch with us. I am happy to hear that your daughter is pursuing the final year of her Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Clinical Psychology and thereafter, wishes to pursue higher studies overseas. To answer your question first, I would like to tell you that a number of variables viz., your daughter’s interests, the budget, the preferred field of psychology she intends specializing in, and her professional objectives, play a key role in deciding on a country to pursue higher studies and a career in clinical psychology. Concerning your question, I would recommend that she considers the following:

The USA is home to prestigious universities that offer outstanding clinical psychology programs. Nevertheless, costs can be high, including living expenses, tuition fees, and healthcare. Although assistantships and scholarships are available, they are highly competitive. You would be glad to know that the job prospects in the USA is enormous with opportunities in research, diverse healthcare environments, academia, as well as patient care. Next, coming to Canada, the country’s top-notch instruction and multicultural setting is well-regarded. Remember, in comparison to the USA, expenditures may be comparatively lower. However, it still calls for proper financial planning. Offering possibilities in academia, research, and practice, clinical psychology is a legally regulated profession in Canada. Universities in the UK offer exceptional programs in psychology. I would like to tell you that based on the location and the university opted for, costs may differ. Possibilities for research, teaching, and clinical practice, are offered by the country. Nevertheless, bear in mind that post-Brexit visa rules could have an impact on overseas students. Noteworthy programs in psychology are offered by universities in Australia. Remember that although expenditures can range from low to high, scholarships are available. Offering possibilities in research, clinical practice, and other mental health services, in Australia, clinical psychology is a legally regulated profession. Coming to Netherlands, the country is renowned for its advanced approaches to psychology and mental healthcare. Programs in the Netherlands are often taught in English, and tuition fees for overseas students are relatively cheaper. The employment opportunities include research, clinical practice, and policy development.

Prior to deciding on a country, I would suggest that your daughter conducts an extensive study on the visa prerequisites, demand in the labor market, licensing procedures for practicing psychologists, as well as the cultural aspects pertaining to each country. Not just that, she should also acquire counsel from professional advisors or educational counselors, as well as get in touch with experts in the field of her choosing.

Hello, I am currently in Class 12 and preparing for JEE. I have not yet completed even 50% of the syllabus properly, but I aim to score around '110' marks. Could you suggest an effective strategy to achieve this? I know the target is relatively low, but I have category reservation, so it should be sufficient.
Ans: With category reservation (SC/ST/OBC), a score of 110 marks is absolutely achievable and realistic. Based on 2025 data, SC candidates qualified with approximately 60-65 percentile, and ST candidates with 45-55 percentile. Your target requires scoring just 37-40% marks, which is significantly lower than general category standards. This gives you a genuine advantage. Immediate Action Plan (December 2025 - January 2026): 4-5 Weeks. Week 1-2: High-Weightage Chapter Focus. Stop trying to complete the entire syllabus. Instead, focus exclusively on high-scoring chapters that carry maximum weightage: Physics (Modern Physics, Current Electricity, Work-Power-Energy, Rotation, Magnetism), Chemistry (Chemical Bonding, Thermodynamics, Coordination Compounds, Electrochemistry), and Maths (Integration, Differentiation, Vectors, 3D Geometry, Probability). These chapters alone can yield 80-100+ marks if practiced properly. Ignore topics you haven't studied yet. Week 2-3: Previous Year Questions (PYQs). Solve JEE Main PYQs from the last 10 years (2015-2025) for chapters you're studying. PYQs reveal question patterns and difficulty levels. Focus on understanding why answers are correct, not memorizing solutions. Week 3-4: Mock Tests & Error Analysis. Take 2-3 full-length mock tests weekly under timed conditions. This is crucial because mock tests build exam confidence, reveal time management weaknesses, and error analysis prevents repeated mistakes. Maintain an error notebook documenting every mistake—this becomes your revision guide. Week 4-5: Revision & Formula Consolidation. Create concise formula sheets for each subject. Spend 30 minutes daily reviewing formulas and key concepts. Avoid learning new topics entirely at this stage. Study Schedule (Daily): 7-8 Hours. Morning (5:00-7:30 AM): Physics concepts + 30 PYQs. Break (7:30-8:30 AM): Breakfast & rest. Mid-morning (8:30-11:00): Chemistry concepts + 20 PYQs. Lunch (11:00-1:00 PM): Full break. Afternoon (1:00-3:30 PM): Maths concepts + 30 PYQs. Evening (3:30-5:00 PM): Mock test or error review. Night (7:00-9:00 PM): Formula revision & weak area focus. Strategic Approach for 110 Marks: Attempt only confident questions and avoid negative marking by skipping difficult questions. Do easy questions first—in the exam, attempt all basic-level questions before attempting medium or hard ones. Focus on quality over quantity as 30 well-practiced questions beat 100 random questions. Master NCERT concepts as most JEE questions test NCERT concepts applied smartly. April 2026 Session Advantage. If January doesn't deliver desired results, April gives you a second chance with 3+ months to prepare. Use January as a practice attempt to identify weak areas, then focus intensively on those in February-March. Realistic Timeline: January 2026 target is 95-110 marks (achievable with focused 50% syllabus), while April 2026 target is 120-130 marks (with complete syllabus + experience). Your reservation benefit means you need only approximately 90-105 marks to qualify and secure admission to quality engineering colleges. Stop comparing yourself to general category cutoffs. Most Importantly: Consistency beats perfection. Study 6 focused hours daily rather than 12 distracted hours. Your 110-mark target is realistic—execute this plan with discipline. All the BEST for Your JEE 2026!

Asked by Anonymous - Dec 12, 2025

Dear Sir/Madam, I am currently a 1st year UG student studying engineering in Sairam Engineering College, But there the lack of exposure and strict academics feels so rigid and I don't like it that. It's like they don't gaf about skills but just wants us to memorize things and score a good CGPA, the only skill they want is you to memorize things and pass, there's even special class for students who don't perform well in academics and it is compulsory for them to attend or else the student and his/her parents needs to face authorities who lashes out. My question is when did engineering became something that requires good academics instead of actual learning and skill set. In sairam they provides us a coding platform in which we need to gain the required points for each semester which is ridiculous cuz most of the students here just look at the solution to code instead of actual debugging. I am passionate about engineering so I want to learn and experiment things instead of just memorizing, so I actually consider dropping out and I want to give jee a try and maybe viteee , srmjeee But i heard some people say SRM may provide exposure but not that good in placements. I may not be excellent at studies but my marks are decent. So gimme some insights about SRM and recommend me other colleges/universities which are good at exposure
Ans: First — your frustration is valid

What you are experiencing at Sairam is not engineering, it is rote-based credential production.

“When did engineering become memorizing instead of learning?”

Sadly, this shift happened decades ago in most Tier-3 private colleges in India.

About “coding platforms & points” – your observation is sharp

You are absolutely right:

Mandatory coding points → students copy solutions

Copying ≠ learning

Debugging & thinking are missing

This is pseudo-skill education — it looks modern but produces shallow engineers.

The fact that you noticed this in 1st year already puts you ahead of 80% students.

Should you DROP OUT and prepare for JEE / VITEEE / SRMJEEE?

Although VIT/SRM is better than Sairam Engineering College, but you may face the same problem. You will not face this type of problem only in some top IITs, but getting seat in those IITs will be difficult.
Instead of dropping immediately, consider:

???? Strategy:

Stay enrolled (degree security)

Reduce emotional investment in college rules

Use:

GitHub

Open-source projects

Hackathons

Internships (remote)

Hardware / software self-projects

This way:

College = formality

Learning = self-driven

Risk = minimal
