I am a final year student in electronics and instrumentation . I want to pursue ms abroad India . Suggest me some universities and how to get there with tution fee waiver scholarship.
Ans: Hello,

To begin with, thank you for getting in touch with us. However, we only deal with overseas education. Deciding to pursue a Master's degree abroad is a wise choice, with a number of universities offering international students, tuition fee waiver scholarships. Follow these steps to get started:

1. Conduct Your Search for Universities: Investigate universities that offer a Master's in Electronics and Instrumentation or an associated field. Search for universities that are regarded for the programs they offer in your preferred field. Mentioned below are a few prominent universities for engineering and related areas:
• Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA
• Imperial College London, UK
• Delft University of Technology, Netherlands
• Stanford University, USA
• ETH Zurich, Switzerland
• University of California, Berkeley, USA
• National University of Singapore (NUS), Singapore

2. Look for Scholarship Possibilities: Next, visit each university’s official website and look into the scholarships offered to international students. Merit-based scholarships, fellowships, and research assistantships, are offered by numerous universities to deserving students.

3. Government Grants: Check if scholarships are offered to students pursuing higher studies overseas by your home country. Scholarship programs are offered by a number of governments for their citizens.

4. Fulbright Program: To study in USA, the Fullbright Program offers scholarships for foreign students. Although cut-throat, it’s worth applying for, if your academic record is strong, and can possess leadership abilities.

5. Graduate Assistantships: These are offered by multiple universities where students work in the position of a research or teaching assistant, earn a stipend and at times, a tuition fee waiver. Check if your program offers these positions.

6. External Scholarship Application: International students are offered scholarships by many outside entities and foundations, some common ones being, Chevening Scholarships (UK), Erasmus+ Scholarships (European Union), DAAD Scholarships (Germany), Rotary Foundation Scholarships, and The Gates Cambridge Scholarship.

7. Make a Compelling Application: Prepare a strong application including a high GRE or IELTS/TOEFL score (if required), a well-written SOP, and outstanding Recommendation Letters to increase your chances of obtaining a scholarship. Your academic marksheets and prior research experience also equally important.

8. Make Applications to Several Universities: To enhance your chances of securing scholarships or financial assistance, apply to not only one, but multiple universities.

9. Contact Financial Aid Office: Get in touch with the financial aid office at the universities you are considering for detailed information pertaining to available assistantships, scholarships, and other financial aid possibilities, especially for international students.

10. Application Deadlines and Prerequisites: Familiarize yourself with application deadlines and adhere to all the admission prerequisites of the universities and scholarship programs you are applying to.

11. Prepare for Interviews: You may be required to attend an interview, on being selected for a scholarship. Prepare for the same by looking into frequently asked interview questions and practicing your answers to those questions.

Maintaining an exceptional academic record and submitting a compelling application is important as the competition for scholarships is fierce. Prepare well in advance, and contact the admissions and financial aid offices for advice.

Sir i am a B com graduate from Kerala university, passed in the year 1997 with 58% marks. I am planning to study abroad in any European country. Please suggests me a country as my final goal is to get a PR . Preferred course is an MB Ain finance or PGD.
Ans: Hello,

To begin with, thank you for contacting us. I am glad to hear that you have completed your Bachelor’s of Commerce (B.Com) degree and now wish to pursue an MBA in Finance or Postgraduate Diploma. To answer your question first, I would like to tell you that selecting a European country to pursue your higher studies with the final goal of attaining a PR i.e. Permanent Residency, is rather a major choice. You would be glad to know that exceptional academic possibilities as well as routes to obtaining a PR are offered to international students by a number of European nations. Nevertheless, bear in mind that the particular prerequisites as well as the possibilities of attaining Permanent Residency for each country may be different. As previously mentioned, your ultimate goal is to obtain a PR and for that reason, I would recommend that you take into account countries where the immigration laws for overseas students are conducive viz., Germany, the Netherlands, Canada (although not located in Europe), as well as Sweden. Choosing these countries to pursue an MBA in Finance or a Postgraduate Diploma (PGD) can be a wise decision. Bear in mind that each country may have varying steps that lead to one attaining Permanent Residency (PR), viz., job offerings in sectors that are highly sought-after, professional experience, and language competency. I would suggest that in order to determine the best possibilities for attaining Permanent Residency (PR), you conduct a thorough study on the specified prerequisites for PR, as well as the the immigration laws and regulations for the country of your choosing. Not just that, prior to making an informed choice, ensure that you factor in the living expenses, the standard of education in your area of study, as well as the language prerequisites.

I was doing Business for past 23 years and have been succesful in that.. After COVID my business fell apart and I am trying to regain the foothold. Although I have created a good brand, I am not able to make the Money I was making earlier. However the buisness is picking up and I knew If I could have little more patience, I will make it. However the situation demands lot of financial requirements for my lifestyle and family. They are insisiting me to go for a Job now. My business is stagnent for past few years and it is slowly showing the signs of growth now.. I do not want any waiting time due to pressing needs. I am 49 Now.. I am not sure if applying for work at this age will help as I have no idea on the Job market.. I am getting very good offers on selling my Business. Kindly advice.
Ans: Dear

There are two parts.

Emotional...how you feel attached to your business.

Rational: your financial needs and the revenue that your business is generating.

Any advise us a function of both the above aspects. Unless one knows the current revenue numbers, growth potential of the business, competition and several such factors it's not possible to share any guidance.

Hence may I suggest you talk to your CA and other colleagues of yours, look at the numbers in hard way and then take a call.

Emotional aspect can be both strength and liability... strength because it will inspire you to make business grow... liability because you may be overtly attached to your business without looking at the financial realities.

All the best.

Sir im 36 yrs of age weighing 107 kgs and I regularly walk which helps in maintaining my weight but im unable to reduce belly fats. I walk approx 4 kms daily within 30 minutes .
Ans: Thank you for your inquiry. I appreciate your dedication to maintaining a consistent walking routine for weight management. However, if you're specifically aiming to reduce belly fat, it might be beneficial to incorporate additional methods into your regimen.

While walking is great for overall health and weight control, integrating strength training exercises can be instrumental in building muscle mass and boosting metabolism, thereby facilitating greater fat loss, including targeting belly fat. Incorporate exercises such as squats, lunges, push-ups, and abdominal workouts like crunches or planks.

To enhance the effectiveness of your walking routine, consider adding intervals of higher intensity. This might entail alternating between periods of brisk walking and intervals of more vigorous effort, such as walking uphill or increasing your pace to a jog for brief durations. This approach can elevate calorie expenditure and promote fat burning.

In terms of nutrition, it's crucial to pay close attention to your dietary habits, as they significantly impact fat loss. Prioritize a well-rounded diet rich in whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains, while minimizing intake of processed foods, sugary beverages, and excessive calories, which can contribute to belly fat accumulation. Additionally, consider reducing carbohydrate intake and increasing protein consumption in consultation with a registered dietitian for personalized guidance.

Overall, by incorporating these strategies alongside your walking routine, you can optimize your efforts towards reducing belly fat and improving overall health.

I am 65 years old and have history of sleeplessness and on tranquilizers. about two years back, it got so bad that one night I wanted to end it all. fortunately my wife was around and calmed me down. We saw a psychiatrist the next day and she put me on anti depressants. Since then I am sleeping well. But the fear is I feel I will not sleep without medication. Is it okay to take this medication life long. Is there a way I can go to sleep without medication like everybody else? allthough I am a diabetic my general health is good as I take part in endurance running and related activities.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
You need medicines to sleep and now you worry that without that you worry that you won't sleep. That's how these medicines can be...make you dependent on them...
The better choice will be to grow out of them...any kind of dependence of anything or anyone is never healthy.
Speak with your doctor and state that you do not want to be dependent on medicines for something as natural as sleep...He/She will suggest ways to wean you off from the medicines and also hoping that they put you on some holistic treatment like meditation or other any alternative therapies that are known to eliminate the source of sleeplessness in you.
Be patient with this line of treatment as it will take time to identify the root of the problem but once it is found, it becomes easy to treat it once and for all hopefully taking you off medicines fully someday.
Kindly explore this option as this will help you to take charge of your life and sleep as well.

All the best!

my husband died when my son is12.5yrs. he was fond ofcricket and after my sons birth he trained him my son is now 15 he is spineer and play verywell. secondly after my son sbirth he always with my son because he left job and taken vrs. i m single mother now. my son didnot cry cry when he dead nor whenever i talked withhim he didnot want to discuss about him . he irritate. and never from his side he talked about his papa. why i didnot understand. and what to do so that he will talk about his papa. iknow he has verygood memories with him he alawys pamper my son when he was alive. suggest what to do
Ans: Dear Shobha,
I am truly sorry for your loss...Loss of a loved one is one of the toughest phases in anyone's life!
Also, you must understand that each of us have a different way of dealing and coping with loss. Your son possibly feels more comfortable masking his sadness and not talking about how much he misses having his father around. Since you say that he has good memories of his father, spend time with him not discussing his father but actually playing on those memories and keeping those happy memories alive. Since, they bonded over cricket, talk more about that with him and how his father would have been proud of him now. Someday, when he is ready to talk about his father, he will...give him time and replay the good times as a family and especially cricket with his father.
The only time you need to be concerned is when he starts to show any signs of withdrawal from life in general...since you haven't mentioned this, I assume that your son is fine and is just not willing to discuss his father. Let him be...each of us process grief differently. Just bond with him as a caring mother that you are...that will keep him safe and stable.

All the best!
