Question by Dinesh - May 15, 2024Hindi

Health

Hi , My Hba1c is 6.5-6.6 but sugar fasting is 100-110 and PP is varying 120-145 . These results are in same range since 2years .what does it means ? what should be the diet plan ? how to reduce Hba1c ? whether i am a diabetic ?pl suggest

Ans: A normal level for an HbA1c is below 5.7%.. Your level is indicative of diabetes. Normal fasting blood sugar is less than 100 mg/dl and your range of 100-110 mg/dl which suggests prediabetes. Focus on a balanced diet rich in whole grains, lean proteins, healthy fats, and plenty of vegetables. Limit refined sugars, processed foods, and high-calorie snacks. Monitor portion sizes and spread meals throughout the day. Regular exercise helps lower blood sugar levels. Discuss your results with a registered dietician or your family physician.

Hello sir , my son completed his Diploma in mech engg. after 10th and working at jsw steel as campus placed . pl suggest how he can do B tech while working or he shd leave job to do B tech. pl guide

Ans: Hello
To do BTech, it would be better to leave the job. Doing B.Tech. while earning is not recommended. Yet, if your financial conditions do not permit, then he can do so. For B.Tech. admission, keep a close eye on a state-level counseling process where your son can apply for it. If eligible, your son will be admitted to 2nd year of mechanical engineering.

dear sir, i've got civil engineering in Jadavpur university....i want to pursue a career in mechatronics and AI robotics and do MS abroad in these subjects....i have an option of upgrading my branch to power eng, production eng and chemical eng.....i will do an online cs course to upskill myself in coding...what branch do u think i should prefer/ what should be my preference order?

Ans: Hello Shreyan
Your aims are different but you have been admitted to Jadavpur for Civil Engineering. Upgrading to Power Engg, Product branch will not solve your problems. At any time you can do CS courses online to upskill your knowledge in coding. It would be better for you to join any good institute for CSE + AI/ML to fulfill your dreams of working in Robotics and allied fields. If possible, shift from Civll to CSE AI/ML/DS

Question by Sandeep - Sep 13, 2024Hindi

Money

I am 44 years old, married with a monthly salary of 4.5 lakhs after tax. I own a debt-free house. My daughter is 9 and my son is 4. I am looking to build a corpus of 2 crores for my children's education, 1 crore for their marriages, and to buy two additional houses. I also aim to accumulate a retirement corpus of 10 crores. Please advise on how I can achieve these goals in the next 10-15 years. Current Savings: • Fixed Deposit: 16 lakhs • Shares: 72 lakhs • Provident Fund (PF): 1.4 crores • Mutual Funds: 15 lakhs • Public Provident Fund (PPF): 10.5 lakhs • ULIP: 21 lakhs Ongoing Investments: • ULIP: 3 lakhs/year (for the next 3 years) • PPF: 1.5 lakhs/year (for the next 8 years) • Provident Fund (PF): 82,000/month Including company contribution. • Mutual Fund SIP: 60,000/month • Shares SIP: 30,000/month • Additional Shares Investment: 5 lakhs/year

Ans: Your current savings add upto 2.745 Cr.

Assuming you keep them invested and considering composite moderate return of 8% this will grow upto a sum of 8.71 Cr after 15 years.

Ongoing investments will lead you to a corpus of 6.66 Cr after 15 years(Appropriate conservative returns considering the various investment instruments)

6.66+8.71=15.37 Cr

Retirement corpus goal 10 Cr?
Children education fund goal 2Cr?
Children wedding goal 1Cr?
Additional home(2) buy 2Cr?

Keep reviewing and rationalising your stock holdings and hedge it if necessary as per advice from investment advisor.

Consider SSY in the name of your daughter (8.2% currently with quarterly review by GOI)since it's an E-E-E tax exempt scheme.

Do consider suitable family floater health cover apart employer group coverage.

I don’t think there is big difference between IITs or Iiits or Nits. All are national institutions of importance. But somehow IITs attract higher rankers of JEE. So MNCs prefer to reach IITs for grab good students and pay higher packages. Students who don’t get chance in IITs, join Nits or IITs. The institutions like Nit Rourkela or Iiit Delhi or Iiit Hyderabad are far better than many new IITs. Even students from many private engineering colleges excel well in career. Main problem in the present day is colleges are suffering for shortages of right quality faculty members; because MNCs pay lump sum money to attract bright students. As a result, students don’t get motivated to join as faculties in their career. This is the global problem

Ans: Hello.
Whatever you have expressed is correct and I agree with your views. But unable to understand, what you want to ask and what you are doing right now. Thanks for sharing your valuable thoughts/views with us.
Suggestion: If you have a desire and wish to change the education system in India, then try to get a seat (i.e. IAS post) in the HRD Ministry which is deciding supreme authority about how the education policy to be implemented from KG to PG and above that.

Hi sir I and 46 and want to invest 45k to 50k as sip in Mutual Fund. Please suggest where can I invest.

Ans: I recommend you to invest in HDFC Retirement Savings fund equity plan.

It comes with a 5 year lock-in.

If you do a SIP of 50K for 15 years you can expect a corpus of 3Cr+ (14% return assumed).

As you get closer to your target transfer your gains into suitable debt fund to avoid volatility affect your gains.
