Career

My son studies is Class X and academically good. His is a good debater and good in quiz as he represents his school. Understanding his potential I am sure that he can crack IIT but he does not want to attempt it as he may need to change school (dummy schools) and/or need to put hours of effort . Hence alternative is to either try for CLAT or CA. My question is considering that he is good in debating , quiz, public speaking what career path is better lawyer or CA.

Ans: Deepak Sir, In light of the fact that your son excels in debate, public speaking, and quizzes, choosing a career in law seems to be the most obvious choice for him. The fact that he is able to communicate well and analyze information will offer him a major advantage in both legal study and practice. In addition, the legal profession provides a dynamic professional path that gives opportunities for ongoing education and engagement with a wide range of people. All the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future, Sir.

Career

Sir, My son has done his LLM from europan university but this legal faculty happen to be very difficult as career. what is you suggest for him to settle down in life or is it wrong to select law as career

Ans: I understand your concern. Law is a challenging field, and it is not uncommon for people to face difficulties in their careers. However, there are many career options available for people with an LLM degree.

Some of the most popular career options for LLM graduates include working as a lawyer, legal advisor, law officer, or law professor. Additionally, there are many other career paths that LLM graduates can pursue, such as working in the media and publishing industry, NGOs, FMCG, real estate, law firms, consultancies, finance sector, corporate sector, and international organizations like UN, UNICEF, etc.

It is important to note that the career path your son chooses will depend on his interests, skills, and experience. If he is interested in pursuing a career in law, there are many opportunities available to him. However, if he is looking for a change, he may want to consider exploring other career options that align with his interests and skills.

I hope this information is helpful. If you have any further questions, please let me know.

Sir, My son got 89 percentile in jee mains and got seat in VIT Bhopal for CSE. Now he confused about his career choice about engineering and feels that he may change his choice to Law stream as he loose his intrest in engineering field. He haven't able to decide which field is better for him now. Kindly suggest what to do now and what other fields are open after 12th Science

Ans: It would be better to go for I.Q. test from the experts as soon as possible. But if he loses interest in Engg and then takes the decision that he likes, Losing his seat in VIT Bhopal would turn into a bad decision in the future.Please do his counselling to opt for VIT Bhopal if possible.

Sir my son is a class 12th commerce student with applied maths as additional subject. He is good in studies (scores 90%+) but is confused about the career .Should he opt for regular graduation and consider MBA/CFA thereafter or opt for correspondence graduation and pursue CA. Please suggest, also suggest any other available career option

Ans: Consider a Psychometric Test: If feasible, arrange a psychometric test for your son. This will help assess his interests, aptitude, attitude, learning style, and personality traits. The test report will provide valuable insights into the most suitable career options for him.

Prioritize Regular College Over Distance Learning: If financially and logistically possible, opt for a regular college over a distance learning (DLP/Correspondence) program. Regular college provides better exposure, structured learning, peer interaction, and placement opportunities. Distance learning should only be considered if attending a regular program is not an option due to financial or personal constraints. All the best for your son's admissions!

My daughter is getting computer science in Thapar and computer science core in Vit Chennai category 2, which should we give preference to? She also got 115 marks in Manipal Exam. We live in Delhi

Ans: For computer science, Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology (TIET) is generally considered a better option than VIT Chennai, especially if the VIT Chennai admission is in Category 2. Thapar has a stronger reputation, better alumni network, and potentially higher placement opportunities, especially for core computer science. While VIT Chennai is a good institution, Thapar's legacy and strong placement records may offer a more advantageous career path.
