I am working in a defence organization for the last 22yrs, now I want to leave the organisation due to mismanagement and new policies by the top level and I want to prepare for another govt job, is it a good decision.

Ans: Leaving a job after 22 years is a big decision, and it’s understandable that you’re feeling unsure. It’s great that you’re thinking this through carefully. If the mismanagement and new policies are making your work environment unpleasant or stressful, it’s natural to want a change for your mental and professional well-being. After such a long time in one place, moving to another government job could bring fresh challenges, a better environment, and new growth opportunities but take a close look at your skills and qualifications. Make sure they align with the requirements of the government jobs you’re considering. Understand the exams, age limits, and processes for the roles you want. This will help you know exactly what to aim for and reach out to people who’ve made similar transitions. Their advice can give you a better idea of what to expect. It’s not easy to leave a long-standing career, but if you’re sure the current situation isn’t right for you anymore, it might be time to move on. The key is to prepare well, both financially and professionally, before making the leap.

I am an honest and very hardworking PSU employee (BSNL) since 2014 who perform all duties with carefulness but when I see my colleagues and controlling officers just pass on responsibilities like a postman delivers mails, i think of switching to private sector for career growth. Now, I am 35 plus and with two young children and old age parents with wife not working post marriage due to family responsibilities. Is it worth to leave BSNL and take a risk of leaving secure job? Pl reply. I want to leave this organisation because there is no scope left in it for career progression. Management intentionally wants to keep on delaying promotion opportunities for employees so that hard working employee leaves the sick organisation to die in the hands of unprofessional staff.

Ans: Hi,
I would suggest not to leave this company as it is a public sector unit and secured job.

Sir, If I give simple resignation in my state government job and join other central government job without informing my previous department,is it right? Or will I have any problem with NPS or GPF or in any other way?

Ans: I am not sure what you mean by a 'simple resignation.' Once you submit your resignation, you're officially notifying your employer/department of your intent to leave. As long as you've adhered to the notice period and fulfilled all conditions outlined in your employment agreement, there shouldn’t be any issue with your NPS or GPF.

My son has secured 85% in ICSE 12 th board with PCM, Eng n Mass communication. In PCM group he has secured 61% only hence not eligible for BITSAT, could not qualify JEE mains (20percentile). NDA not cleared. Appeared in WBJEE. Result awaited. Thru CUET, he wants to study English literature in the best colleges of India. He is very good at English n secured 98%. He is the only child, we want him to be technical graduate, so that he is employable and can take over from his father, who worked with ALFALAVAL, now has his own techmart company and is a dealer of ALFALAVAL a Swedish MNC in heavy Engg

Ans: Your son’s 98% in English and 85% overall in ICSE align strongly with BA English (Hons) at top CUET colleges like St. Stephen’s College (DU), Lady Shri Ram College, or Christ University, which prioritize language proficiency and holistic profiles. However, to balance technical employability, consider interdisciplinary programs such as BA English with Digital Humanities (DU) or Integrated BA+MA in English (EFLU Hyderabad), supplemented by certifications in technical writing, project management, or business analytics to align with your family’s engineering business. Alternatively, explore BSc in Computer Applications at Ambedkar University Delhi (via CUET’s General Test) or BA Economics with Data Science (JMI), blending analytical skills with humanities. If WBJEE results permit, Jadavpur University’s Comparative Literature offers flexibility to minor in technical electives. Prioritize institutions like DU or Christ University for their industry networks, enabling internships in tech-adjacent roles (content strategy, technical documentation) while maintaining literary rigor. All the BEST for your Son's Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Hello sir my son got 93.38 percentile in jee mains ..he tried for bits pilani but couldnt score good in 1 st attempt although he is working hard for 2nd attempt of bits pilani ...im only interested in bits pilani (any campus)ee branch ..if not then only govt institutions..we are in general category from mp state..jee main rank 98856..cbse 12 th 76 % aggregate in pcm & overall both...kindly guide

Ans: Hello dear.
Our goals and actual circumstances often do not align. This may also apply to your situation. However, based on the score mentioned, your son has a limited or moderate likelihood of gaining admission to any government institution. I recommend that you consider adjusting your expectations with BITs and look into additional opportunities at well-regarded private colleges.
Best of luck to you.
