The Counsellor - 19

Computer Engineering 

I have cleared an engineering examination. My counselling is on 27 June. I want to know what computer engineering really entails. 

   Ramesh Kapoor

 

Computer science is the study of problem-solving using computers. Digital computers and the programmes they run are among the most complicated products of modern engineering. This practical discipline has its foundations in basic, curiosity-driven science. 

   What is a computer programme? How can we create programmes whilst being sure of avoiding bugs? What is the fastest way of solving certain kinds of problems? Are there problems that can be stated simply but have no simple solutions? Are there problems that can't be solved by computers at all? 

   The theories that emerge in answering these questions have immense practical value in the design of computers and programmes in a vast range of applications: in science, engineering, robotics, communications, industrial management, business and commerce. 

   Bridging theory and practice, including a wide variety of hardware and software technologies and their applications, the course is designed to equip students with the fundamental understanding and practical skills needed by the potential leaders of a demanding profession. Above all, it's training in logical thought and expression, which can lead to employment in many different fields. 

   A sound understanding of mathematical ideas is needed throughout the degree, both for potential applications such as scientific computation, and for reasoning rigorously about the specification and nature of programmes. Make sure you also develop practical skills. The majority of subjects within the course are linked with practical work. 

Sporting career 

I am a very good player of football but I do not know how to make this my career. Please suggest names of some institutions for training in this field. 

   Kalhan

 

Perhaps the only one of its kind in Asia, the prestigious Tata Football Academy, Jamshedpur provides a fully free residential training programme for scientifically nurturing budding footballers. Couched amidst 25,000 sq ft of lush green in the heart of Jamshedpur, TFA is equipped with its own playing field, multi gym, swimming pool, kitchen, dinning room, conference hall, medical unit and recreational room to provide an ideal ambience for promising footballers to develop their potential to the fullest.TFA Coaches scout for talent (on the basis of strength, stamina, speed and skill) at various tournaments all over the country. About 100-120 boys are invited for trials and approximately 35 cadets are shortlisted. The last trial was held in February-March 2008. 

   If you are between 14 - 16 years of age, have a good physique (height: minimum 5' 6" and weight: minimum 50 kg) and have participated in your State U-16 championship (although it is not compulsory) then you can apply to: 

   TFA, Inner Circle, Road, Bistupur, Jamshedpur 831001 (Jharkhand). For further information, you could log on to: 

www.tatafootballacademy.com 

   Also check with your State’s Sports Directorate for selection trials for football coaching in your state. 

   Another very useful source of information is the website www.indianfootball.com, which will give you a comprehensive list of the various football academies situated all over the country. 

Course Relevance 

I passed my class XII examination this year. I want to do ITI. I want to know is it equivalent to engineering or not? 

   Naresh Chandra

 

No, the ITIs only offer certificate-level courses in a number of technical disciplines. After these you can proceed for a diploma in engineering and thereafter, you can get lateral entry into the second year of a regular BE/BTech programme. You can also enrol for the associate membership of professional bodies such as the Institution of Engineers or the Institution of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineers. Upon clearing all the exams, you will be considered equivalent to a BE/BTEch. 

   Since you have already completed class XII, you can directly opt for a diploma in engineering (3-year) in the field of your choice (eg mechanical, civil, electronics, electrical, IT etc). 

Looking ahead 

I have completed class XII. I am very fond of martial arts and would like to join the police force. Can I opt for being a constable in the Delhi police? 

   Usha Singh

 

You can become a constable. In fact over 1,000 women constables would be recruited in Delhi Police over the next three months. A total of 1,067 women constables will be recruited bringing the total strength of the capital's women police personnel to around 4,600. Delhi Police has a total strength of around 65,000 presently. 

   The recruitment process has begun and women in the age group of 18-25 years can apply for the post of constables. Among the new recruits, 535 will be from the general category 239 from OBC, 196 from scheduled castes and 97 from scheduled tribes. The website is

 

www.delhipolicerecruitment.in

 

 

 The application deadline is June 30, 2008. According to a recent study done by the National Institute of Public Cooperation and Child Development, people of Delhi feel that women should be given a more proactive role in policing. Women can act as a force against corruption and a deterrent against the use of foul language by male colleagues. A whopping 76% of the people surveyed as part of the study 'People's Perception of Women Police' believe that women personnel can implement laws more sincerely and effectively than their male counterparts. 

Legal issues 

I have just given my law entrance, but I'm not sure about its prospects. Is law a viable career option, especially corporate law? 

   Kishan Bhanot

 

The unprecedented economic growth has obviously expanded the need for specialised services, and commercial law firms in India are riding the wave. One obvious consequence is that new law firms are being set-up each year and these firms are hiring more people and paying higher salaries than ever before. The competition amongst firms to recruit the best law graduates has further increased since international law firms started making direct offers to undergraduate students at the top law-schools. This is a boon for fresh graduates who are getting opportunities that earlier came only after several years of experience. In fact, most graduates are now joining commercial law firms or companies as legal advisors. Delhi University's law faculty has also witnessed a long queue of law firms grabbing fresh passouts with very attractive packages. 

   A career in corporate law guarantees a healthy pay right from day one as opposed to court-practice where one needs to work under experienced advocates for several years at subsistence wage levels before gaining financial independence and prominence. However, we must not overlook the fact that most students begin their careers in corporate law to recover the costs of their education and to ensure financial security for their families.

Racing career 

I have completed MSc (Math). I am 24 and want to make career in bike racing. Is there any institution for this? 

   Rajender Katoch

 

With superbikes catching on in India, biking clubs are not far behind. For instance, the racing school for beginners at the MMST Track , supported by TVS Motor Company Ltd and organised by the Madras Motor Sports Club trains fresh enthusiasts who wish to join bike racing. They conduct theory sessions to acquaint the riders on basic track rules and practical sessions on bikes. Certificates are issued by MMSC on successful completion of training. The charges are approximately Rs 1000, for cost of fuel and food, use of Track (half day, and for the instructor. Accommodation is also provided for outstation applicants. 

   The application form can be downloaded from the website of Madras Motor Sports Club (www.mmsc.in). Besides TVS, Yamaha also has two biking clubs, The Frenzy Riders (Yamaha RI) in Bangalore and the more recent, Yamaha Gladiator Club. The Royal Enfield Company runs the Bullet Club, across Pune, Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi, Chandigarh and Kolkata. The club boasts of a membership of over 2,500 avid bikers.

CAT : Right Approach & Attitude

Waiting in the wings

 

THE CAT FEVER HAS BEGUN. SLATED FOR NOVEMBER, THE CAT IS NOW ON THE MIND OF EVERY MBA ASPIRANT. THE RIGHT APPROACH AND ATTITUDE TO THE EXAM CAN MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE

 

   The month of June commences an uphill battle for a majority of the over two and a half lakh CAT aspirants, as they start their meticulous preparations for the fiercely competitive exam. With over five months left for the CAT, you have the potential to ensure you make a major difference to your chances of cracking the CAT this November. All you need are the right preparation strategies. 

   Well, you needn’t worry about that anymore. Today’s article focuses on helping you create an outline for your CAT. 

ISSUE NO 1: DO NOT GET INTIMIDATED BY THE CAT 

Many CAT aspirants get intimidated by the exam and the competition they have to face.The result is that they never really believe they can crack it and it is one of the biggest reasons for failure in the CAT. The difference between a 70 percentile and a 99 percentile score is never more than six to eight questions. Hence, any student who has ever scored 70 percentile in the CAT could have reached a percentile of 97 to 99 by just approaching six to eight questions differently. 

   Ask these students three crucial questions, and they will realise how much better they could have scored. 

These questions are: 

a) How many silly errors did you make in the exam? Let the number of such errors be ‘A’. 

b) How many questions did you read in the exam for which you remembered the answers only after you left the hall? Let the number of such questions be ‘B’ 

c) How many questions did you not read in the exam, but knew the answer when you saw them after the paper? Let the number of such questions be ‘C’. 

   Here, your score could have improved substantially, ie, by calculating A×4+ B×4+C×4. Note: This could have happened on the basis of your current knowledge.We have not even started to discuss knowledge increment here. 

   It is common knowledge that the minimum value of A+B+C for students whose scores ranged between 70 to 90 percentile, would be in the range of 12 to 15 (in a 75 question paper). You could have had a minimum score improvement of 50+ marks — something that would have ensured a jump of 20 to 30 percentile. 

Consider the evidence: 

In the latest CAT, there were approximately 75,000 students who scored 70 percentile, while only some 2000 odd students scored 99 percentile. This means that the other 73,000 students lost out just because of a few questions. 

   According to calculations, in the CAT 2007 paper, anyone who managed to score 80 percentile, merely had to avoid six errors to get the coveted call. Some 50,000 students scored over 80 percentile in CAT 2007, and had an opportunity to score better. In fact, any student who scored 90+ percentile would be just three questions away from an IIM call! 

   The fact of the matter is that 25,000 students scored 90 percentile in the latest CAT. If you were to ask them about how far he/she was from acing the CAT, most of them would be under the impression that they would need at least one to two years of preparation. Worse, most students with a percentile of 70 to 80 would not even believe that they have the requisite intelligence to pass the CAT. 

ISSUE NO 2: PREPARE ON A WIDE ANGLED FRAMEWORK 

The CAT is full of surprises.This image has been created over 15 to 20 years of constantly changing patterns and question types. 

   This image has emerged because students tend to work and prepare in a set way. They use the papers from the past two to three years as a reference, thinking it is representative of what the CAT is today, and base their preparations on it. This is one of the most common follies that CAT aspirants make. Ideally, an aspirant for CAT 2008 will discount what happened in CAT 2000 (for instance) knowing that the year 2000 was almost a decade ago and what happened in CAT then is most unlikely to happen again. 

   Aspirants in CAT 2006 had to regret this line of thinking. ‘Facts, Inferences and Judgements’, a question type neglected by CAT aspirants and training institutes across India, made an appearance after a gap of - hold your breath - 14 years. Yes, the last time it had been seen in the CAT was in 1992. 

   There have been numerous such cases and examples, but to get to the point - if you prepare for the CAT with a two to three year perspective, you would always be surprised. 

Our advice: 

1) Prepare for a 10 to 15 year perspective and the surprise element of the CAT will no longer exist. 

2) Do not try to guess the number of questions, the types of questions, even the number of sections. Instead be prepared for any change in pattern, and during your preparations, focus on the development of your intelligence to crack the CAT. 

ISSUE NO 3: OBJECTIVE SETTING FOR YOUR PREPARATIONS 

Cut offs for IIM calls have been in the range of 100 to 110 out of 300 over the past two years. Aspirants make the error of aiming for a score of 110 marks only. If you prepare for 110 and slip up by just five questions, your score would dip to 75 to 80 percentile. 

Instead, if you prepare for 150 to 160 marks (50+ in each section), even if you were to make about five to six errors, your score would just drop from 99.5 percentile+ to 99 percentile+. 

As we will demonstrate in future articles in this series, scoring 50+ marks in any particular section of the CAT can be easily accomplished! So Keep watching this space.

Physics Education REVISITED

Physics Education -- REVISITED

 

THE last century can aptly be called the century of physics. Rightly so because all the nations which had made significant socio economic and industrial progress around that time had sound research and development capabilities in the sphere of physics. The discovery of electron, x-rays, radio-activity, structure of atom, the development of the special theory of relativity, general theory of relativity, quantum mechanics and spectroscopy are some of the breakthroughs in physics during the last century which have spurred modern day technological development. Post globalisation this has particularly impacted the IT, BT, pharmaceuticals, management and other manufacturing sectors. 

   The onset of the first and second world wars resulted in a large exodus of eminent scientists from European countries to the United States of America. This incremented the scientific and technological prowess of the US ultimately making it a super power. If the US and many European countries have made such significant advancement in the fields of science and technology it is important to examine their education system, which has influenced this. More importantly it is important to compare it with the situation in India. 

SCIENCE IN INDIA 

In India, it would be highly informative to look into the status of science in general and physics in particular especially in the post-independence period. The scientific achievements of Jagadish Chandra Bose, C V Raman and a host of other eminent scientists had inspired many youngsters to take science as a career choice. Large numbers of scientific research institutes were established in the country under the auspices of Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR,) Department of Science and Technology (DST), Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and many other organisations. 

   Post independence India has seen a surge of educational institutions at various levels. However these institutions at large mirrored several discrepancies. While on one hand we had avant-garde institutions we also had schools and colleges where basic amenities and infrastructure was missing.The general tendency during these times was that qualified people more often than not pursued their career and academic ambitions abroad.The few who decided to return or stayed on in India contributed to the development of the science and technology in the country. 

ENROLMENT DECLINE 

It is an acknowledged fact that since 1980's the number of students opting for science courses in higher education is decreasing every year. This is attributed to the establishment of a large number of engineering, medical and dental colleges after 1980's in a few states under the self-financing scheme. 

DEMOTIVATING FACTORS

The number of students opting for science subjects at class XI and XII is found to be small because the students at the secondary school level are discouraged from taking science as a career choice. They have the misconception that science subjects are difficult to understand and can be learnt only if students opt for private tuitions. This particularly intimidates students from low-income groups. 

GLOBAL SCENARIO 

The dominant perception of physics worldwide is that it is difficult, abstract, and requires high skills in mathematics. The challenge is an introductory course in physics which can convince students that physics is rewarding, fun, useful and is a worthwhile endeavor. Physics has to be taught integrating theory and practice in appropriate proportions. 

   Some opportunities in the domain of physics which students need to be familiarised with: 

MULTI DISCIPLINARY RESEARCH 

The challenges that need the attention of our younger minds in the scientific research in general and physics in particular are quite enormous. In the present context, breakthrough in research is possible through inter-disciplinary or multi-disciplinary research. 

PHYSICS AND BIOLOGY 

With collaboration between physics and biotechnology, we can have studies ranging from medical imaging to irradiating tumours to understanding the mechanism of protein folding. 

NEW MATERIALS 

There is a need to develop quantum technologies with applications ranging from development of new materials to analysis of human genome. 

   This depends on the ability to manipulate individual atoms and molecules, which are a branch of physics. 

TECHNOLOGY USING PHYSICS 

There are several uses of physics for national security and defense through cryptography, remote sensing, precision warfare, missile defense and development of new materials. 

EXPLORING THE UNIVERSE 

Physics helps in the development of new instruments through which stars, galaxies, dark matter and 'Big Bang' can be studied and these will revolutionise our understanding of universe, its origin and its destiny. 

INTERNATIONAL EFFORTS TO FIND NEW PHYSICS 

Several international efforts have been undertaken to explore the secrets of nature in a cooperative way. These have thrown open a large number of opportunities and challenges especially in pure physics. For instance the construction of Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, Geneva is truly an international exercise since the project involves scientists and funding from dozens of countries. There is a need for the Indian universities to train our youngsters to get prepared for participating in these cooperative projects. 

STUDY OPTIONS 

Some of the reputed institutions which offer specialised courses in science and physics education include the National Laboratories such as NPL Delhi, NCL Pune, BARC Mumbai, IGCAR Kalpakkam, ISRO Bangalore, NAL Bangalore, CFTRI Mysore and CSTRI Mysore. 

NATIONAL EFFORTS TO ENCOURAGE BASIC SCIENCE 

The general trend in the poor enrolment to basic science has caught the serious attention of many educationists, several senior scientists in the country like C N R Rao, former President A P J Abdul Kalam, the members of planning commission and many others including statesmen like our prime minister Manmohan Singh. It is only with this purpose that the planning commission has allocated to higher education in the 11 ^th Plan period more than ten times the allocation that was made during the 10 ^th Plan period. The central government has envisaged many attractive programmes for encouraging our bright youngsters' enrolment to basic science.

Teaching Safety

Teaching safety

 

MANY SCHOOLS ARE NOW IMPARTING LESSONS ON SELF-DEFENCE, ROAD AND FIRE SAFETY, AND PRECAUTIONS TO TAKE ONLINE. THE LATEST ADDITIONS TO THE CONCEPT OF ALL ROUND DEVELOPMENT OF A CHILD

 

   Most educators agree that learning can only take place when children have a sense of belonging and safety. If they don't feel safe they won't be able to trust anybody, even themselves. And this will reflect not only on their academic performance, but on their overall well-being as well. 

   Therefore, schools are now playing an active role in 'communicating' with their students and are conducting extensive workshops and counselling sessions to help them in every way, such as sensitising them on online safety. "Rhyme and rhythm always appeals, and thus songs and poems are of immense value for such learning processes," explains Asha Singh, a reader with the Department of Human Development and Childhood Studies, Lady Irwin College. 

   She adds: "Children are very open to learning rules if there is logic. When one explains to them that a policeman lets people go turn-by-turn so that people don't crash into each other, they understand why people agree to follow a given system. As a result, not only do the children learn road safety, they understand the concept of turn taking, sharing and so on." 

   Schools are also imparting lessons on self-defence. While Millennium School-Noida holds martial arts lessons, Gurukul Pre-School uses dramatisation and field trips to impart safety lessons. "We have classes on judo and karate and also conduct regular workshops on fire safety," informs Indu Vohra, incharge (primary), Hansraj School. 

DUE LISTENING 

According to psychological counsellor Sumitra Ramji, parents and teachers are often unable to handle sensitive situations, such as those with physical/sexual intonations. She elaborates: "Parents usually tag such incidents as a child's misinterpretation/imagination. This has a huge bearing on the child's self-esteem and sometimes makes them feel that the concerned adult does not care. As a result, the child refrains from sharing his/her concerns regarding safety or abuse. It is important thus, for parents and teachers to duly listen to any and every fear the child may communicate." 

PERSONAL SPACE 

"Early teaching about 'good' and 'bad' touch is very important, not only for girls but boys as well," says Ramji. Echoing similar sentiments, Priti Narain, founder-director, Gurukul Pre-School, adds: "We teach our students to stay away from strangers. They are taught to immediately inform their parents/teachers if anybody's pats, hugs or kisses makes them uncomfortable." 

   Elaborates Singh: "As far as possible, physical touch should be confined to family members and people you know. Touch and play is fine, but if you feel uncomfortable tell your mother. Even older kids have to be told not to be alone in a room with strangers." 

   On how children can be taught the concept of personal space, Singh advises, "Let children develop cues of expressions. If they feel the expression of the person is not appealing, they can surely run, scream and let trusted adults know." However, she cautions that it is just as necessary to ascertain that undue fear of people is not created in the process. 

   Says Suneeta Jain, principal, Maxfort School, Pitampura: "We teach such concepts right from the nursery-level. Even when students go for swimming or sports, they need to be careful and thus, we teach them to seek ours or their parents' guidance on any such issues." 

SPECIAL NEEDS 

Children with special needs are, perhaps, most in need of lessons in fending for themselves. Rita Kaul, principal, Millenium School, Noida and also a special educator, explains: "Although we have special attendants for these students, it is important to teach them to take care of themselves. Therefore, we consciously train them in various life skills." 

   Adds Singh: "Drama exercises have been very useful in communicating with children with special needs on 'good and 'bad' touch. By means of drama exercises we illustrate how each and every individual has their personal space and that only a select few people should be allowed to break that distance." 

STRANGER DANGER 

Students are also given lessons on how to avoid/behave with strangers when they are waiting for their school bus. Moreover, as a safety measure, most schools issue an identity card for parents that need to carry when they come to pick their child. Says Jain: "We hand over the child to the parents only when they have the requisite identity card issued by the school." Similarly, informs Narain: "Without the proper 'escort cards' parents/guardians/maids are not allowed to take the child home."

Internet jobs 

Please tell me something about home-based internet jobs. Are they reliable? How can we ensure the authenticity of the advertisements? 

   Atul Nigam

 

Open any internet site and the chances are that you will be looking at advertising banners exhorting you to work from home and earn pots of money. But then if that were true, wouldn't we all be working from home? 

   Here are some dos and don'ts before you take-up any such offer: 

   1) Know the company you're dealing with. Often companies may have no plans to employ you directly, only to sell you training material and find customers for your work. Most importantly, find out if there is really a market for your work 

   2) Don't fall for promises of big profits. Operating a home-based business requires hard work, skills and time besides good products or services 

   3) Get references of other people who are doing this work. Ask them if the company has kept its promises 

   4) Be wary of offers to send you an advance on your payment. Some slick operators use this ploy to build trust and get money from your bank. They send you a check for part of your first month's pay.You deposit it, and before it has cleared the company contacts you to say that you were mistakenly paid the wrong amount so you need to return a portion of the payment for some reason. After you send the money back, the check that you deposited ultimately bounces because it turned out to be an elaborate hoax. Now the crooks have your payment, and you're left with a hole in your pocket. 

   So be very careful to only deal with legitimate companies that hire people to work for them at home. 

   

Social move 

I am interested in doing some social work in my spare time. How do I go about choosing a good NGO which can provide me exposure to the social sector? 

   Chandan Singh

 

Over the last decade, many NGOs have come up in India.There are over 12 lakh NGOs, over half of which are based in six lakh villages. Many do good work, but lack of accountability and transparency or voluntary code of conduct has allowed the lesscredible ones to undermine the work of the credible ones.This has led to a dilution of trust between donors and beneficiaries. Many of them have been found to have abysmal standards of accounting and reporting. Few put up their financial accounts on their websites. While it's not fair to paint the whole sector black, it's important to separate the grain from the chaff. 

Working in an NGO is certainly a good option if you are passionate about social work. However be careful about the NGO's bona fides and credibility. Before pulling out a leaf from your checkbook, make sure you check if it is genuine and committed. 

The Council for Advancement of People's Action and Rural Technology (CAPART) has blacklisted nearly 770 NGOs for indulging in unscrupulous activities. These NGOs have misused the funds sanctioned by the government, indulged in financial mismanagement and even submitted forged documents. 

A genuine NGO would have a systematic structure with an active set of trustees. 

Another way to check the credentials of an NGO is to visit the centre to get a first-hand knowledge of how it is carrying out the social activity. 

Apart from popular organisations like CAPART there are others like Give Foundation, Karmayog and Concern India that run independent checks on the credibility of NGOs. Use these resources to choose a befitting place. 

Special needs 

I am a graduate. I want to work in the field of special education. Please tell me about the institutes offering courses in this field? 

   Anju Jain

 

Surprisingly, nearly a quarter of the world's disabled live in India. Unfortunately, lack of education and awareness has become biggest obstacle in enabling the disabled to lead a normal life. 

   There are a staggering 35 million children with disabilities between 6-14 years, while there is a huge shortfall of special educators. Their number stands at just a little over 20,000. 

   Special educators mainly work with children with special needs like speech or language impairment, mental retardation, learning difficulties (autism, dyslexia, ADS, slow learners, Asperger's Syndrome), visual or hearing impairment. They help these students develop emotionally, train them to be comfortable in social situations, and be aware of socially acceptable behaviour. 

   Empathy, communication and co-operation are essential traits. After understanding their special needs, a special educator is required to be highly innovative to devise appropriate learning strategies and motivate the child to be as optimally functional and well adjusted as possible. 

   A course in special education equips you to work with such children studying either in special schools or in general schools in an integrated setting. But be prepared, while it is immensely satisfying and gives you the opportunity to make a difference, it calls for a great deal of patience, commitment and hard work. 

   A variety of options ranging from one-year diploma and BEd (spl) courses to three-four year Bachelor's degree courses are available. Since you have already done your graduation, you could opt for any of the one-year BEd (Special Ed) programmes offered at a number of universities. 

   Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI) is a statutory body under the ministry of social justice and empowerment, located at 23-A, Shivaji Marg, New Delhi 110015. It is mandatory for every special educator to get registered with RCI. Log on to RCI's website for details:

Leisure management 

I am an executive with travel and tourism industry. I want to know about leisure management as a career option? 

   Sudhakar Gupta

 

Holidaying has taken on an entirely different connotation in present times. Today, it is not just about getting the right booking for a desired destination but a multitude of activities and 

events that make holiday a memorable experience. 

   With big bucks being spent on travel, leisure management has come of an age in India. Various industries come under its ambit including resort, hotels, restaurants, event management firms etc. Essentially, leisure management professionals are in-charge of managing their client's leisure time. 

   All the activities at a country club or resort including the live entertainment need to be flawlessly executed. 

   Behind all the fun-n-frolic are a bunch of hawk-eyed professionals who ensure that everything moves timely. 

   If the client enjoys the adrenaline rush of adventure sports like bungee jumping, white water rafting or rock climbing then organisers have to ensure that the client is cushioned against any mishap or inconvenience. 

   Although Bachelors, MA, MPhil and PhD courses are available abroad, there are hardly any programmes on leisure management in India. However professionals from the travel and tourism sector can join as management professionals.
