Respected Sir, I am a Senior Citizen, retired from a PSU as executive and receiving monthly pension. Recently I have sold a piece of land and gained Long Term capital gains on this property. It is learnt that the Senior citizens need not pay advance tax in every quarter if they will not receive the income from Profits and gains from Business.

Since, I received capital gains on sale of property, should I pay advance tax? Kindly confirm at the earliest.

Ans: Hi,

I believe you might have completed the NEET for the second time on May 4, 2025, is that correct? What score are you aiming for? If you achieve a good score, you can aim for GMC; otherwise, consider any of the following courses:

- BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery)
- BSMS (Bachelor of Siddha Medicine and Surgery)
- BUMS (Bachelor of Unani Medicine and Surgery)
- BHMS (Bachelor of Homeopathic Medicine and Surgery)
- BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery)
- BNYS (Bachelor of Naturopathy and Yogic Sciences)

All of these courses are quite good.

Regarding your second query: Apart from NEET, you can pursue Pharmacy, Nursing, or Medical Lab Technology (MLT) instead of Biotechnology. Once you complete any of these programs, you are likely to find a job quickly. The order of preference I would recommend is Nursing, Pharmacy, and then MLT.

If you are still interested in Biotechnology, some private institutions offer the course. Before enrolling, it’s advisable to visit the campus and check the infrastructure as well as the syllabus. Many programs focus on botany-related aspects of biotechnology rather than human and animal applications. If you pursue Microbiology, you may have better job prospects.

In addition to health-related fields, you may also consider pursuing agriculture-related courses.

Since you did not provide information about your locality, I cannot comment on the best institutions available in your area.

BEST WISHES

POOCHO. LIFE CHANGE KARO.
