Question by Mahesh - Apr 18, 2024Hindi

Career

Hi I'm a 34 year banker with 8 years of experience working in a national bank. I have pursued my computer science engineering from a not so famous college in 2012 which didn't offer any placement assistance which forced me to prepare for govt jobs like bank and ssc. However after working for 8 years in same bank I feel stuck here as the work pressure is too high due to shortage of staff ,unprofessional work environment, too much politics and heavy work load, no work-life balance at all, frequent transfers. Please guide me whether I can switch my career now in finance field or switch to IT by doing some course ( data science, AI and ML) as I come from that field also my wife is also working in IT field. Please guide me in this regard as it's very crucial decision of my life.

Ans: Hi Mahesh,
As already you have spent 24 years in Bank, it is suggested to continue in banking industry, however, you can change the domain from banking to IT.

Hello Sir, I'm 30 years married women I have done my B. E in 2016. Due to financial issue I started working in Non-IT field... So is there any possibility to start working in IT field

Ans: Hello dear.
You did not mention in which course you completed your B.E. Yet I assume you might have completed your B.E. either in I.T. or CS or some computer-related engineering. Also it is not clear what is the relation of financial issues related to the working field. You are just 30! There are full possibilities that you can start working in the I.T. field. Only you have to revise what you have learned and what additional knowledge you have. Nothing is impossible in life. I would like to quote here that around 90% aspirants of in engineering do not pursue the field in which they have done engineering. Recently this fact was also for IIT graduates and the results found were surprising. Learn the new era techniques as early as possible. Keep in touch with some I.T. professionals and ask them about the industry requirements. Plan accordingly. It is just a job of 6-8 months to master the basic skills. Apply with full confidence to multiple I.T. companies at a time. Create your strong CV and attractive presence on the LinkedIn website. Remember, nothing is impossible in life. Best of luck for your upcoming future.

Career

Sir can you guide about abroad institute for neuropsychology after mbbs.Or road map from MBBS to neuropsychology

Ans: Hello Arvinder,

Firstly, thank you for reaching out to us. To answer your question, if you're an MBBS graduate looking to pursue neuropsychology abroad, the typical roadmap would involve first gaining a solid foundation in psychology or neuroscience, often through a master's or post-graduate diploma. Many institutes offer specialized courses or programs in neuropsychology, such as those at universities in the UK, US, or Canada. You'd want to look for programs that bridge the gap between medicine and psychology, like MSc in Neuropsychology or Clinical Neuroscience. After completing your postgraduate degree, you might consider further research or clinical training opportunities, often leading to a PhD or professional certifications. You’ll be combining your medical background with psychological expertise to understand brain-behavior relationships, which is a fascinating field!

Hello sir, my name is Priya I got 77.81%ile (OBC NCL) in jee mains 2025. Can I get seat in any nit or iiit with any branch, home state Telangana. Also also sir any suggestions to increase my percentile in April attempt?

Ans: Hello Priya
as per last year's cutoff you are not eligible for JOSAA counselling. You can improve your score and get admissions in your dream college. Control negatives, don't give into the temptation of marking the option if you are not sure, options are designed that way, you commit a mistake and you will get a wrong answer there waiting to be marked.
30-35 questions correctly answered without any negative marking can get you your desired college.
All the best.
