You can read the entire transcript of the article below:
I am a B.Com
graduate. Many of my friends pursued Company secretary course along with their
graduation. I would like to do it now after graduation. Is it a good idea or am
I too late? – Ms. Batliwala
It has been a general trend to
pursue CS along with graduation. However, you can pursue it any time. It is
never too late. Since you are graduate, you need not apply for the 1st stage
i.e. Foundation exam and can directly register for 2nd stage i.e. Executive
Program. Students also consider pursuing LLB or LLB (General) along with the CS
course after graduation.
My daughter is
in 10th SSC. We are confused about what field she should get into
after her 10th. Please guide us? – Mr. Sagar
Your daughter should make a career
decision based on her aptitude, skills, interests and personality
qualities. You must consult a career
counsellor and make your daughter undergo aptitude and other psychometric tests.
This will help you all decide her correct career field. There are several
career options that exist after 10th. The career counselling session should be
able to guide you on what suits her best based on her abilities.
I am a working
professional having background in accounts with over 5 years of work
experience. But my highest qualification is 12th pass. Now I want to
do my graduation. Is it a good idea? – Ms. Ragini
In today’s time, it has become very
important to at least have a graduate degree. Pursuing your graduation is
surely a good idea. You may consider B.Com in distance learning mode from
University of Mumbai or Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU). Also,
taking short term courses or certifications related to your field would also
help.
I am interested
in pursuing B.Des. (Fashion Designing). Can you tell me about the entrance
process for NIFT? – Ms. Sheetal
The entrance exams at National
Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) are conducted in two stages. The first
stage (written test) will be conducted in February wherein you have to give a
creative ability test (CAT) and general ability test (GAT). If you are
shortlisted from the written test then you will be eligible for second stage
and will be giving a hands-on practical situation test in April. This is
followed by group discussion and personal interview.
