Ans: Hi,
Please clarify whether your preference order is based on the course or the institution.
POOCHO. LIFE CHANGE KARO.

Ans: Hi!!

It is not ok for your manager to text you outside of work hours, period. You have to set boundaries now.
Talk to him and tell him since you are extremely busy after you reach home, it is not possible to reply to messages.
Have two different numbers for the office and for the personal work.
Shut the office phone once you reach home.

Reply back to him in the team meeting and tell him once you reach home you really cannot take any calls or reply to messages.

There are always solutions to problems. Find them and learn to set boundaries courageously.

If you are a woman and he texts you like this, then embarrasses you in team meetings, you really can take action against him .

Take care of yourself ! All the very best..

Ans: Hi!!

You are working with this company since 2023. It's close to a year and a half that you are working here?
You are still young and new in this company, there is so much to learn and grow.
Take your manager's feedback and work on it, you yourself said you don't share your ideas and plans because everyone is more experienced than you. it's time to change this... raise your hand in meetings, say you have an idea to share and then in al oud and clear voice share your ideas. Plain and simple solution for your issue.
Initially your leader should have encouraged you to speak and he should have made you comfortable...if it didn't happen then it won't happen now... pls take charge of the situation now without the blame game, go ahead and share your ideas.
You are also experienced now...

All the very best!!

Ans: Hello;

Surely you can do so, but please ensure adequate term life insurance and health insurance coverage for both.

Keep investments for retirement separate from this so that it continues to accumulate irrespective of home loan or otherwise.

Maybe you should sell land and part of gold jewellery for down payment towards home purchase.

It is desirable to get a home loan insurance.

Best wishes;

Ans: Hi!!
It is extremely important to have empathy and approachability as qualities in a leader. You have them so congratulations!!

As a leader it is important for you maintain a safe distance too , so that people don't take you for granted and that your judgement is not clouded.

You need to tell people that everyone has personal problems, so the only way forward is to shut them out when they come to work and perform to the best of their abilities.

You really can't quote one incident and draw conclusions here, you might have made a mistake as regards to this team member you are mentioning, it's ok , you are human. Forgive yourself and move on.
You need to find a balance between empathy and accountability...it's a tough job to be a leader, and a compassionate one that too. Apply the concept of "different strokes to different people at different times". Set boundaries, take care of yourself and your time. You must take care of your emotional well being too, you can't allow everyone to dump their baggage on you.

Take every experience as an experience to make you wiser, have a discerning eye and know when to put your foot down and when you need your inherent compassionate quality.

Enjoy being a leader...you really can make a difference in people's lives, but at the same time you have to take care of yourself.

All the very best...

Ans: Hello;

Ans: Hello;

You should repay your car loan fully and part of the home loan by utilising FD amount and direct stocks.

The MF and PPF holding should preferably be kept untouched.

The reduction in EMI should be transferred to more investments for retirement and other financial goals.

Ans: Here are some steps you can follow to find out which NIT, IIIT, or GFTI you will receive. ROI is dependent on your ability to build a profile, improve your skills, and conduct research on the job market environment over the next four years.

Please note, Providing precise admission chances for each student can be challenging. Some reputed educational websites offer ‘College Predictor’ tools where you can check possible college options based on your percentile, category, and preferences. However, for a more accurate understanding, here’s a simple yet effective 9-step method using JoSAA’s past-year opening and closing ranks. This approach gives you a fair estimate (though not 100% exact) of your admission chances based on the previous year’s data.

Here is, How to Predict Your Chances of Admission into NIT or IIIT or GFTI After JEE Main Results – A Step-by-Step Guide.

Step-by-Step Guide to Check Your Admission Chances Using JoSAA Data
Step 1: Collect Your Key Details
Before starting, note down the following details:

Your JEE Main percentile
Your category (General-Open, SC, ST, OBC-NCL, EWS, PwD categories)
Preferred institute types (NIT, IIIT, GFTI)
Preferred locations (or if you're open to any location in India)
List of at least 3 preferred academic programs (branches) as backups (instead of relying on just one option)
Step 2: Access JoSAA’s Official Opening & Closing Ranks
Go to Google and type: JoSAA Opening & Closing Ranks 2024
Click on the first search result (official JoSAA website).
You will land directly on JoSAA’s portal, where you can enter your details to check past-year cutoffs.
Step 3: Select the Round Number
JoSAA conducts five rounds of counseling.
For a safer estimate, choose Round 4, as most admissions are settled by this round.
Step 4: Choose the Institute Type
Select NIT, IIIT, or GFTI, depending on your preference.
If you are open to all types of institutes, check them one by one instead of selecting all at once.
Step 5: Select the Institute Name (Based on Location)
It is recommended to check institutes one by one, based on your preferred locations.
Avoid selecting ‘ALL’ at once, as it may create confusion.
Step 6: Select Your Preferred Academic Program (Branch)
Enter the branches you are interested in, one at a time, in your preferred order.
Step 7: Submit and Analyze Results
After selecting the relevant details, click the ‘SUBMIT’ button.
The system will display Opening & Closing Ranks of the selected institute and branch for different categories both Home State (HS) i.e. State you belong to & also Other State (OS).
Step 8: Note Down the Opening & Closing Ranks
Maintain a notebook or diary to record the Opening & Closing Ranks for each institute and branch you are interested in, separately for HS & OS Categories for a quick reference.
This will serve as a quick reference during JoSAA counseling.
Step 9: Adjust Your Expectations on a Safer Side
Since Opening & Closing Ranks fluctuate slightly each year, always adjust the numbers for safety.
Example Calculation:
If the Opening & Closing Ranks for NIT Delhi | Mechanical Engineering | OPEN Category show 8622 & 26186 (for Home State), consider adjusting them to 8300 & 23000 (on a safer side).
If the Female Category rank is 34334 & 36212, adjust it to 31000 & 33000.

Follow this approach for Other State candidates and different categories.
Pro Tip: Adjust your expected rank slightly lower than the previous year's cutoffs for realistic expectations during JoSAA counseling.

Can This Method Be Used for JEE April & JEE Advanced?
Yes! You can repeat the same steps after your April JEE Main results to refine your admission possibilities.
You can also follow a similar process for JEE Advanced cutoffs when applying for IITs.
