Sir may 5sal ke liye grejeuti ka pasa aur 8 sal ke liye pf ka pasa jama karna chahata hu so kaha jama karna sahi rahega

Ans: I don't know the amount you want to invest.
If the amount is reasonable & you can find suitable Real Estate option, that will be best. Invest in that property, which yields you some returns and is likely to appreciate with the passage of time. It should be readily Salable also, so that the proposal ensures liquidity also.
Other options are Mutual Funds, Equity Shares, NSC, FDR etc. However, Mutual Funds (D-Mat based) may be more suitable in view of returns & easy handling of documents.
Most welcome for any further clarifications. Thanks.

My son has got 91 percentile in the recent jee exam , he has next attempt in april, but i feel its difficult for him , can i know about other good colleges in karnataka , as im based their. interested in computer science and aeronautical degree, also advise some recent good courses for his career in india.
Ans: Hello Manoj.
Do not get stressed at this stage. Even though his score is 91 percentile in 1st attempt, he can do well in 2nd attempt. But from the safer side, ask him to appear in the Karnataka State Engineering Entrance Examination also. Even if he scores less in JEE on 2nd attempt, he may good college via the state entrance examination in CSE or aeronautical engineering as per your wish. For your reference, there are 10 colleges in India where you can get admission without a JEE score. To know more details, please copy and paste the following link into your browser- https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/education/news/10-engineering-colleges-in-india-for-pursuing-btech-without-jee-main-2025-score/articleshow/118162587.cms.
There are no such courses to be called as recent. The choice of courses depends upon the interest of your son. Hence there is no need to hurry and get into panic at this stage. Let him appear for both exams first, Ask about his interests, and then choose the course accordingly. I would be happy to suggest you after knowing his scores in JEE+State entrance + his liking.
Till then, ask him to focus only on two engineering entrance exams. Best of luck to your son for upcoming exams.

If satisfied with the reply, please like and follow me, else ask again.
