Hi I started my CA at the age of 23.5 along with job , and I eventually managed to cleared group 1 of ca inter May 2024 and for second group I gave jan 25 attempt but failed due do poor marks in cost , this wan an first attempt , but now I skipped may 25 attempt because I was not clear shoup I gave one more attempt or not but I didn't, I quit my job due to study but result doesn't came well and i am considering to prepare for govt job while doing job , I lf I prepare for ca it will take 28 If from there I managed to clear infirst attempt , I may be feeling that while working and preparing govt is better decision. Shoul I continued my CA journey or should I quit it , any suggestions please

Ans: Hello
After doing professional course like CA, you will still need to find some suitable job etc. Since you don't seem too confident of clearing it & given the time span/age factor, alternative option of going for govt. job while working seems more practical/plausible.

All the Best !!

I have completed by b.com and still I have not passed ca intermediate and in my profile there is 2 years gap after b.com .I am confused shall I stop preparing for ca or look for a job and after that go for mba?

Ans: Can look for a job and simultaneously start preparing for MBA. Having a bigger gap is not advisable as you may find it difficult to defend it in the interview.

I am 22 and have completed by b.com from tier 3 clg and still have not passed ca intermediate after 3 attemptes and for not showing gap yr in my profile i enrolled for mcom from same clg .I am confused shall I stop preparing for ca or look for a job and after that go for mba or should i switch my stream bcoz i have interest in graphic design and data analysis stuff?

Ans: Leave further attempt for CA, three attempts are more than enough. The level of college is not very important. Your knowledge, presentation and performance will matter. You can leave M.Com also. But if you are in second year then please complete it. Go for an online MBA in finance or IT. If you switch your stream from commerce to Data Analysis then do the MBA in IT and go for a certification course of AI & Machine Learning. Never it is too late. You are only 22, which is a rising sun. DECISION DECIDES DESTINY, NOT HARD WORK. DO SMART WORK. I am always there with you. Do as I told you.

Ans: At a career crossroads, it's crucial to consider your priorities and interests, such as passion for CA and interest in government jobs. The time and effort required for CA exams or SSC, UPSC, and Banking Exams, should be considered. Financial considerations should also be taken into account, as if FINANCIAL STABILITY is a priority, returning to a job while preparing for a government exam might be a safer option. Alternative approaches include a hybrid approach, switching fully to government jobs for stability, structured work, and benefits, or trying one more CA attempt if you still have the motivation and confidence. If you're passionate about CA and believe you can clear it with focused effort, give it another chance. If you're unsure and more inclined towards job security, it's practical to shift towards government job preparation while working. Commit to your decision fully and avoid constantly second-guessing. All the best for your prosperous future!

Hello sir , im an neet dropper preparing for 2025 . My marks are coming like 280 - 310 . I just want 550+ marks , can i get it in 60 days my syllabus about to finish , im very tensed sir and moreover my question practice is less too , i don't get time to revise physics and practice as i have test one day then gap and again test , so sur please help me atleast get 550+ marks . Its very difficult for me to think straight my parents have lot of expectations

Ans: Target: 550+ Marks
Biology: 340+ (Out of 360)

Chemistry: 140+ (Out of 180)

Physics: 70+ (Out of 180)

Stop over-stressing about tests. Use them to identify weak areas.

You are not alone — many NEET toppers had the same fears. They turned it into fuel, not fear.

Talk openly with your parents — they love you and will support you no matter what.

Focus on daily progress, not the big target.

Sleep well, eat light, and stay hydrated.

Resources You Can Use:
Biology: NCERT + MTG NCERT at Your Fingertips + Previous Year Questions.

Chemistry: NCERT + N Awasthi (Physical), M S Chauhan (Organic), NCERT Qs (Inorganic).

Physics: NCERT summary + DC Pandey objective questions + PYQs (NEET Focused).

Please remember: You're already much closer to your goal than you think. You just need direction, not perfection. My daughter will give NEET this year. Good luck

In 1995 Dec 2 i have received 100 Debenture in jindal vijayanagar steel. What is status right now?

Ans: The NCDs issued in 1995 were scheduled for redemption in installments over the 6th to 9th years, concluding by 2004. If you haven’t received the redemption amounts, it’s possible that the payments were returned due to address changes or other issues .
Reach out to JSW Steel’s Investor Relations or their Registrar and Transfer Agent (RTA) to inquire about the status of your debentures. Provide details like your folio number, certificate numbers, and any correspondence received.
If the debenture amounts remain unclaimed, they might have been transferred to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF). You can search for unclaimed amounts on the IEPF website.
