A single mistake can ruin your child's career

Exams are over in almost all schools across India, and students are awaiting their final results. Students of class 12 and their  parents are clueless about the next step for their career. Most of the students and parents didn't even have sufficient information about the options available. Some parents force their children's into courses that they do not like and some have no choice but to opt for whatever course they get admission into.

Parents should have a clear perspective about the strengths and weakness of their children. There is no point in forcing a child to study a subject they don't like or will not have a successful career in future. There are numerous scientific ways to find out the strengths and weaknesses in a student. Parents can avail a psychometric test or an aptitude test or may even go for a DMIA (Dermatoglyphics Multiple Intelligence Analysis)to figure out the strengths and weaknesses of their child.

 

Students and parents should then explore options available within the country and abroad, choose the right course suitable for them. Searching and googling for information could be the start point. One can attend education fairs and attend seminars. A convenient way could be visiting a career counselor or a study abroad consultants. Parents should be careful while availing education consulting services, as most of them provide limited information. Indian education system is yet to address numerous problems for ages, hence Studying abroad is fast becoming popular with aspiring students.

According to Mr Aslam Shaikh of Aliff Overseas, one of the pioneers in Study Abroad consulting, students from India are making beeline to foreign universities. The figures are growing year on year, this has been possible due to favorable conditions and neglected Indian Education System. Students are even bagging 100% scholarship for their studies abroad.

Mr. Shaikh ends with a note of caution, that every course may not be suitable for your children or may not help him become successful in future.

Welder’s son bags Rs 1.2 crore with Microsoft job -

In a heartening story of triumph in the face of adversity, a Khagaria welder's son, Vatsalya Chauhan, has bagged a 1.02 crore per annum job at IT giant Microsoft. A final year computer science student at IIT-Kharagpur, Vatsalya was picked by Microsoft during a campus placement drive in December 2015.
"I still remember the interview which began at 4am. The written test, a day before, continued late into the night, and I couldn't catch a wink," an elated Vatsalya told TOI over phone from Kharagpur.
In fact, Vatsalya had almost missed the IIT bus.
"I went to Kota in 2009, but, midway through the preparations, I lost interest in engineering. I started reading books on mathematics and physics and wanted to write a book myself. But, when I took my first attempt at JEE in 2011 half-heartedly, I realized I had made a mistake by not studying seriously," he said, and added that one of his mentors, Vishal Joshi, was instrumental in helping him prepare by staying at Kota for another year.
While Vatsalya had cleared JEE in his first attempt, his rank was not good and it was in his second attempt in 2012 that he cleared JEE with an All India Rank 382.

"That year, I was also the Bihar topper in AIEEE," says Vatsalya who completed his schooling from government schools in Khagaria and Begusarai.Eldest among six siblings, 21-year-old Vatsalya will join Microsoft in October 2016 as a software engineer at Redmond in the US. His mother Renu Deviis a homemaker.
"We had taken a loan for his higher studies and we are extremely happy that he has made it so big. One of his brothers is preparing for engineering while a sister is preparing for medical entrance exam at present," Vatsalya's father Chandrakant Singh told TOI. Asked about any advice for aspiring engineers, Vatsalya said, "The good thing is that the syllabus is limited. It only requires methodical study."

Vatsalya also said the study materials provided by coaching institutes in Kota were better than in Patna, despite the cost of tuitions being almost same in both the places. He added that anyone who wants to contact him for any guidance is welcome to do so through Facebook, e-mail or phone.
"I really like teaching and am ready to help anyone who wants to learn," he said.

Permanent Residency Post-Studies

A skewed population distribution across countries has left no other option but to offer PR(permanent residency) for some countries. These countries have shortage in manpower to keep thing going. The flip-side to PR is that quality people are hard to find. Checks and balances have been put in place by these countries to choose the right candidates for PR.
These countries emphasizes on providing PR to those who opt for education in that country. This is a win-win situation wherein PR offering country gets well educated personal and the student gets exposure to working in international market. More and more Indian students are going for overseas education in these PR offering countries, wherein they get quality education as well as a bright future.

Send 10k PhD students each year to US: Narayana Murthy

BENGALURU: Infosys co-founder N R Narayana Murthy has said India and the US should work on an agreement to send 10,000 Indian students to the US to do their PhDs in important areas in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education, every year over the next 50 years. This, he said, would cost the government approximately $5 billion a year - a small sum considering the benefits it would have in terms of creating lots of innovative solutions that can solve problems across sectors in India.
The agreement, he said, should make it clear that the students would not be given employment in the US once they finish their PhDs and they would have to come back to India and serve here for at least 10 years.
"The US will also benefit from this arrangement. There will be a large number of Indian students working on problems that will add value to US academicians," he said. He also suggested that India issue 10-year multiple-entry visas every year to hundreds of thousands of graduate students from the US. Speaking at the Indo-American Chamber of Commerce Conclave 2020 on Friday in Bengaluru, he said one of the offshoots of this strategy is greater collaboration between the Indian and US academia in developing solutions in emerging areas like the internet of things (IoT), where devices would be talking to each other and talking to your phone. "India has to become a partner in adding value to the US companies by developing advanced software in IoT not just for US companies, but the customers of US companies. This requires us to train our youngsters in adaptive control and handling analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog framework and digital devices. They have to be taught how to write and optimize code since the response time is critical in these applications," he said.Murthy also said one of the areas neglected is opening India to foreign universities. "Even though former PM Manmohan Singh wanted to open India to foreign universities, for some reason, we have not made progress. But it's important that we immediately take steps towards this if we want our grand-children and their children to be in an India which is economically strong," he said.

Moreover it much easier to get admission in German universities compared to other international destinations.

Sunny life post-studies

We all came across huge stats charting the amount of Indian students studying in foreign colleges. What are the popular destinations and which are the popular subjects?
But have you ever thought why so many people spend premium money on study abroad, when it’s cheaper and even subsidized in our own country. What is the extra advantage and why to opt for?
Well it’s the life after studies, the quality of lifestyle and the confidence to be at par with developed countries. International education provides opportunity to explore world-class education, premium lifestyle, and global work-culture. A huge number of students even stay back for a long period of time gaining valuable global work experience or even get a permanent residency. International education is much more rewarding in many ways considering the cost

UK varsities steal the show

Almost half of the UK’s total number of universities featured in 2016 Times Higher education list of the 200 most international universities in the world. The list is topped by the Qatar University, followed by Luxembourg in the second place and the University of Hong Kong in the third place. The National University of Singapore

and the Imperial College London are ninth and tenth respectively.

American universities featured poorly in the list and only a few could make it to the list. Australia has only 24 universities in the list, with only 16 in the top 100. Switzerland is third among the 28 countries featured in the list, having only 10 universities listed. New Zealand could get only 6 universities listed among the top 100. Canada, Denmark and Ireland have three universities each in the top 100.

On the other hand 64 UK universities featured in the list of 2016. The University of Oxford and University College London (=18th), King’s College London (20th) University of Essex (21st), the London School of Economics and Political Science (22nd), Queen Mary University of London (23rd) and Queen’s University Belfast (24th) make the Top 25.

The US, which features relatively poorly in the rankings because its students and faculty are much more “home-grown”, rightly pointed by Mr. Aslam Shaikh of Aliff Overseas Consultants. This is the reason why US manages only one university – Massachusetts Institute of Technology – in the Top 100 and then only in 90th place. There are only eight more in the lower half of the ranking. Aliff Overseas Consultants places students in top rated universities across the world and regularly keeps track of university ranking. Mr. Shaikh advises students to choose only the best, to get the edge in terms of quality education and post studies placement.
