My boyfriend does not have a stable job, but he wants me to move in with him. We have been in a relationship for two years, and because he travels frequently for work, he feels living together will help us spend more time as a couple. He works as a freelance product photographer and regularly travels to cities like Pune, Delhi, Bangalore, Ahmedabad, and Chennai. I’m unsure whether moving in with an unstable partner is a practical decision or if finances and career stability should come first. Should I agree to live together in this situation, or wait until he has a more secure job?

Ans: Prefer DS + AI at IIT Madras as the 1st preference, followed by Guwahati and Jodhpur. In all cases, long-term career impact depends far more on your projects, skills, and internships than on the specific IIT tag. Even after admission to a specific IIT, you will need to learn more via online courses to meet market and tech requirements.

Good luck.

Ans: Shyam Sir, I have thoroughly reviewed your son’s background. You haven’t mentioned whether he is continuing with the ISC board or has enrolled in the CBSE board with Allen-JEE coaching for this 11th/12th Grade. Firstly, I recommend a psychometric test for your son to gain a rough idea of the most suitable career options for him.

Secondly, job opportunities exist across domains, but to be competitive, your son must have passion and interest in his chosen field and continuously upgrade both technical and soft skills relevant to that domain.

Thirdly, besides understanding suitable career options through the psychometric test, ask him what types of problems he is interested in solving in the future.

Fourthly, since you mentioned his performance is better in History and Geography than in Science and Maths, Allen-JEE coaching would be suitable only if he is truly interested in Maths and Science. If not, his performance may fall short of expectations, leading to demotivation.

My suggestion is to consider enrolling him in the Arts/Humanities stream with a focus on Geography-centric subjects. Later, he can pursue civil services, media, law, or management studies. Reassess his progress after about a year (by December 2026), focusing on his interest, mental health, and realistic performance rather than perceived job security alone.

Before he completes 11th grade (by February 2026), you both can collectively decide and start preparing for entrance exams in law, media, or management (CUET, CLAT, IPMAT, NPAT, SET etc.) based on his interests and future plans. ALL the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Ans: HI MUSKAN,
GREETINGS FROM THE REDIFFGURUS!
I think you may not have focused on the NEET exam. Before I share my suggestions, I would like to know your HSC marks.

Instead of pursuing biotech, you could consider opting for a BSc in Agriculture. If you excel in biology, you might even want to consider BDS.

Rather than focusing solely on money, I recommend learning a skill that can lead to a decent income. For example, you could earn a simple degree in chemistry and then move into pharmaceutical marketing. This path could offer you a salary range of 4-6 LPA, and after gaining a few years of experience, you can advance further and find success.

BEST WISHES.
