I have 700 shares of Shyam Metallics at the average price of Rs. 417. Should I hold or exit?

Ans: Hello;

These seem like stocks of defunct companies hence no more traded on the exchanges.

Check with a broker before you decide to write these off.

Ans: Hello;

Interest on employee contribution to provident fund(EPF+VPF) in a financial year above 2.5 L is taxable after Budget 2021.

Hence it is recommended that you may divert your monthly investments into NPS tier-1 account.

You may select active choice and allocate maximum possible to equity and the rest between Govt securities and corporate bonds.

Note that withdrawals from NPS are highly restricted, before 60 age, being a pure retirement product.

The corpus accumulated in PF may be retained since it will continue to compound at the Interest rate.

1. Further Education (If Feasible)
If higher education was a roadblock before but is now an option, consider pursuing an M.Tech (Chemical/AI/Cybersecurity) or an MBA (Operations, Data Analytics, or IT Management).
Distance learning programs from IITs, NITs, IIMs, and ISB could also be beneficial.
GATE 2025: If you're still interested in PSUs, qualifying GATE again with a high rank could give you opportunities.

2. Alternative Careers in Mathematics and Teaching
Since you have experience as a math expert at Chegg, you could look at:
Government teaching jobs (NET, SET exams).
Private coaching (IIT-JEE/NEET coaching institutes like FIITJEE, Aakash, etc.).
Online tutoring platforms (Vedantu, Unacademy, Byju’s, Cuemath, etc.).
Actuarial Science or Data Analytics, which involve heavy mathematical modeling.

These are few options. Many are available. Work hard.

Ans: Hello;

Please specify your current age so as to advise suitably.

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Like you mentioned, it is very normal for old friends to enquire about each other, especially if they have not been in touch for a long time. It might be the same in this case. The only way to tell for sure is to ask her. If you are interested in reconnecting, you can think about the same and ask her once you are back in talking terms. But I would recommend not assuming anything and getting your hopes up.

Best Wishes.
