Hi Rajesh. I am 37 years old with a 15 years of experience and MBA in Marketing. I am also a visiting faculty at many business schools. I am looking forward to pursue my DBA in online or part time mode. Can you please suggest me will it be beneficial for me in the corporate sector.

Ans: From what I interpret DBA would be unrelated to the area you are working. So if you plan to get into it you may have to start from scratch in the corporate world. Instead you can look at courses on Data analytics or Business analytics and leverage your Marketing experience to move into a relevant role.

From what I gather please apply for CEUT exam this year, prepare hard learn and do well to gain admission to a BCA program in a good institution. Once you gain admission in a BCA program, look for ways to look for part time jobs to support your fees. If you stay focused and work hard, your success is assured.

Thank you very much for your detailed guidelines and almost all of doubts are clarified. One last question is, will the online BBA program certificate be accepted if go for abroad opportunities?

Ans: Yes. Again it depends upon the University's Accreditation / Recognition by Employers. For example, KSOU is good for jobs in India but not abroad. BBA from Online IIM-Bangalore (if started) will have more weightage compared to SRM/Jain/Sastra etc.

I want to retire at 55 my age is 45 life expectancy 80 current monthly expenses is 20000 how much need amount for retirement

Ans: Dear Friend, your question is incomplete; you need to share many points, like what your liabilities are, what earnings you are going to work for, and we can create a hypothesis depending on what you have shared. which can be partially correct. You need to accumulate around ?1 to 1.1 crore by age 55 to retire comfortably with ?20,000/month in today’s value for 25 years. Review annually and invest consistently in equity mutual funds, PPF, or NPS depending on your risk profile. Regards, Nitin Narkhede -Founder, Prosperity Lifestyle Hub,

I am 38 years old divorced men and I loss 18 lakh in option trading now a days I have no capital and not any income source mentality fully harassed can any body help me ,7 loan EMI Defaulter and 2 credit card defaulter please help

Ans: At 38, after a divorce and losing ?18 lakhs in options trading, with no income and multiple loan and credit card defaults, it’s understandable to feel overwhelmed. But this isn’t the end. First, speak to a credit counselor or financial advisor—many offer free services. Consider a one-time loan settlement with banks or restructuring. Focus on finding any stable income—gig work, freelancing, or part-time jobs—to begin rebuilding. Mental health support is just as important; talk to someone. You’re not alone, and this phase, while hard, can be turned around one step at a time. Keep hope alive. Regards, Nitin Narkhede -Founder, Prosperity Lifestyle Hub,

Ans: Hi Kamala,
The NTA has not yet announced the results and rankings for NEET, so we need to wait for more accurate predictions. However, based on your predicted marks, there is a chance of getting into GMC (ESIC quota) and it depends on various factors like the difficulty level of NEET exam and the number of seats. As I mentioned, it's best to wait for more reliable information before drawing any conclusions.
