As far as career prospect of the economics students is concerned, it is truly rewarding. Various corporate sectors such as finance, banking, and insurance offer wide range of employment opportunities. Diverse areas of management such as, policy planner, modeling, research associates, business analyst, journalism, teaching, data analyst etc are also open to them. The pay package is also alluring. Major employers include banks, government enterprises, business journals and newspapers as sell as public undertakings, finance and investment firms.

Without an advanced degree, it is not possible to succeed in the arena of economics. A masters degree and in some instances a PhD is required to shine in this sector. Of late, it is seen that the investment and banking firms are hiring students from prestigious institutions such as, Jawaharlal Nehru University, Delhi School of Economics and University of Hyderabad.

Economics is included in the curriculum right from class IX itself in many Indian Schools. To get admitted in the Indian colleges for higher degrees in economics, the applicant must have an excellent result in classes Xth and XIIth (especially in economics). Delhi School of Economics, Jawaharlal Nehru University, Banaras Hindu University are some of the most prestigious institutions to serve the higher degree seekers in economics.

Supply chain management deals with the entire network of movement of materials from the raw material source to the end customers in the form of processed consumable. In recent times supply chain management has boomed as an industry. Broadly, a supply chain has four stages – Sourcing, Procurement, Conversion and Logistics. Logistics management itself has emerged as a profession. Basically Supply Chain Management and Logistics Management are interconnected. Another important part of Supply Chain is Liasoning which also provides ample career opportunities.

Supply chain management in short means the system of transport of raw materials from the source to the factory, then factory to inventory as prepared material, then Inventory to outlet and finally outlet to the end customer. Not only transport it includes safety also from any type of adversity. Most of the management institutes in India provide courses in logistics management and supply chain management. Indian Institute of management and NSHM college of Management and technology both provide programs in this subject. Job opportunities are quite well available in this sector. Once you have a degree in supply chain management, you do not need to worry about a job.

E-learning or electronic learning brings a new dimension to the science of teaching,especially in vocational education. Electronic learning is only based on computer technology. You get all the teaching materials,guidelines and other instructions through the Internet. No direct communication will be there.

The courses are usually arranged in that way through which students get sufficient and useful study materials on that particular subject. Also you get some information about the methodical record and application regarding the subject. While doing the course you should be prompt and careful because the process is continual and rapid. You have to be proficient enough to pick it up fast. Of late,lots of organizations give some on line vocational training to their employees. They found it much more effective than any other general training. In this way they can also give training to a large number of employees all together. Now a days many universities also have started their e-learning courses. A lot of students have been benefited by the courses provided by the institutes..

There are also some drawbacks. As there is no direct interaction,a student sometimes fail to understand properly . The process also does not have any way to control cheating. It also can not give that high slandered study maintained in the institutions as no knowledgeable teacher is guiding you. Apart from some minor shortcomings E-learning process is definitely an important step towards the modern life. And it is believed that in coming future it will surely overcome all the difficulties and become really a useful medium.

Yes, you read it correct. 2 days. The outcome of the course is a unique thing called “Pocket MBA”. The recession has sparked the mad rush for people who want to get an MBA under their belt. Renowned programs like the Sloan school of management at MIT and others have reported an increase in numbers of students. However none are so audacious to claim success in an MBA program lasting only 2 days. The Hult International Business School’s Dubai MBA program has introduced this “innovation”. The program is only for executives who would like to get a taste of what the complete MBA program at Hult is all about. The complete MBA program is of one year duration and is reportedly one of the better known programs in the world.

Makes you wonder. Has an MBA become so much of a commodity that it can be taught piecemeal at colleges for a fee, and that too for two days? No possible good can come out of a program that lasts two days. 2 days are generally reserved for intensive workshops which are attended by experienced professionals. An MBA which needs to be rigorous cannot be held in anything less than two years.

Executives studying for an MBA at the expense of the companies at which they are employed have seen enthusiastic response over the years. Cometh the recession, with other changes, this trend too has seen a change. Gone are the days when employers did not have second thoughts in paying for the education at premier institutes for deserving students. Also the job prospects on completing the course is not too rosy at the moment. There has been a substantial decrease ( 11%) in the salaries at which people start off after completing the executive education program. Some put it to the inability of the executive to leverage his previous experience and his contacts. However it is pretty apparent that even though there is an element of truth in this assertion, there is simply less money that the companies are willing to spend on their employees. Hence however qualified and skillful a person, this is simply not the best time to go for the Executive MBA.

To study the psychology of adolescent students is always an exciting arena to delve into. For adolescent students their beliefs regarding school and society take parallel lanes. It is a time when they develop individuality, intellectualism and competence. The role of the school becomes integral in helping adolescent students deal with the transition, otherwise a strong disregard towards the school system and a lack of motivation might occur. This has a great impact in shaping their self esteem when they step into adulthood. It has been seen that a frequent change in teachers for adolescent students may make it difficult for the student to form a supportive relationship.

When a school environment fails to nurture creativity and ideas in adolescent students and forces them to suit into a pre set environment it might lead to motivational issues for the adolescent. The learning environment should be flexible and interesting for an adolescent that also inculcates learning and mixing with peers. During the transition years the adolescent’s relation with friends, family and teachers also evolve as they begin to turn aware of their roles and responsibilities as adults. Hence it is important that adolescent students are dealt sensitively. Assuring adolescent students that they are capable of more, encouraging discussions and sharing and giving them opportunities to think forms the pivotal task for schools for treating adolescent students.

I just came to know that IIMs and IITs are leasing property outside their campus to expand capacity to accommodate the increased number of students due to increased quota requirement this academic year. IIMC who will accommodate 90 extra students this year, said it is talking to the developers for leasing rooms on long lease for six to nine months. IIM-Bangalore is taking lease of 50 apartments (150 rooms) in a nearby residential building called Ajmera Complex. The students studying Executive Post Graduate Program in Management will be given accommodation in the leased apartments. IIM- Bangalore received Rs 29 crore from the Human Resource Development ministry for OBC quota expansion, however the overall expenses is expected to be much greater.

IIMs implement quota in four categories – OBC 27%, SC 15 %, ST 7.5% and Handicapped 3%. IITK actually doubled its seats by adding another 120 seats this year. IIT Delhi who also expanded seats by 30%, is actually planning to expand its campus and is waiting for Rs 100 crore. So with increased number of students IIM are still in the process of finding accommodation for the students. Since these students will have to spend a significant amount of time with their books, they can not accommodate in a place away from the campus.
