1.Check whether your Institution/ University is
approved or not?
Earning a degree
is important but earning a degree which is recognized and approved by the
Government or its concerned agencies is even more important. While choosing an
institution or university, it is important to know whether it is approved by
Government agencies. There are multiple agencies which recognizes or grants
approvals to run a program in a particular field.
a)In case of University: - Any University should
be approved from UGC (University Grants Commission), Government of India which
means that the University is recognized to award its own degrees in various
disciplines. Here is the list of UGC approved Universities. www.ugc.ac.in
b)In case of Institutions and Colleges: - Any
Institution or College needs to affiliate with a Government University and has
to be dually approved by the state and central government.
In addition to above, there are programs which
requires approvals from certain Government agencies:-
1.For Engineering AICTE (All India Council for
Technical Education)
2.For Architecture Council for Architecture (CoA)
is mandatory.
3.For Pharmacy, Pharmacy Council of India
4.For Law, Bar Council of India
5.For B.Ed. NCTE (National Council for Teacher
Education)
2.Next-Generation/ New Age Programs
Technology is
changing fast in corporate world, hence it is desirable to undergo education at
the University or Institution which is offering programs in emerging areas.
Check the Industry involvement with the universities or institutions that you
want to consider for your admission in terms of Industry Collaborative Programs,
involvement of industry experts in designing the course curriculum, subjects
offered in emerging areas which industry is looking for and certifications
offered by Industry.
3.Value Addition
Today earning
degree is not enough for a successful career. It is important to have value
addition that will add weight to your profile while appearing for job
interviews. Go for a University or Institution which inculcates value addition
through Industry Certification, Global Certifications, Workshops & Internships
and Opportunity to carry out Research.
4.Career Opportunities
Choose a
University or Institution which offers multiple career options to you. When we
say career options, it means an option to choose from Campus Placements,
Entrepreneurship, Higher Studies, Preparation for Government Jobs like Civil
Services, International Avenues and Research. Gone are the days when every
student used to have only one career option which was jobs.
5.Campus Placements
Although Campus
Placements is not the only option, yet it is considered to be the most
important aspect while choosing a University or Institution for pursuing
professional education. It is also important to check the training &
preparation offered to you by the institution to crack campus interviews. Check
not only the placement record of the University/ Institution but look for a
consistent record for at-least 3-4 years. Look for names of top multi-nationals
in your field and also check the salary packages that the companies are
offering to the fresh talent. The consistency of MNCs visiting a college or
university shows the academic strength and its acceptance by the corporate
world. You can also check the credentials of pass-out students of your stream who
have been placed in previous years.
6.What RoI?
Return-on-Investment
in Education is calculated by comparing the amount of fees that you pay as a
student to the University or Institution to undergo degree and salary package
that you were offered by the company during campus placements. As the fees is
annually paid to the institution or university and the package is also offered
on annual basis (LPA), both can be compared to calculate the Return of
Investment.
7.Campus Life
Undergoing Education is just one aspect but
it is the quality of campus life which differentiates between an average or
good institution. Choose a university or institution which offers 360 degree
development of your persona. Check out for Sports facilities, Cultural &
Literary Facilities, technical & cultural clubs, soft skills training and
others that can enhance your personality.
JOB OPPORTUNITIES IN MEDIA & COMMUNICATIONS IN COMING YEARS
New Shift in job demand with new age media
The latest survey shows that that there is 50 % increase in the demand for professionals trained work force in media and journalism. With New Age Media or Digital Media the job demands and job perspectives have undergone a substantial change. Journalists are hop-scotching from one job to another, picking up fatter pay checks on the way. The pay checks also depend on how professionally skilled one is.
Journalism in itself is a very evolving sector and with the upsurge in digital media the job opportunities are ever increasing. With the onset of digital media we are seeing a renaissance in the world of media. This digital evolution of journalism has opened up niche and specialist publishing.
The heart of journalism is always to do truthful reporting and seeing the unseen corners of society. With new media, the jobs in journalism are not only restricted to print media and broadcast media but have scaled to new and vast avenues of digital media like blogging, website content creation, digital marketing, social media manager, data journalism and many more. Along with this corporate communications and public relations have also pecked for new demands of skilled professionals. Hence, the genesis of digital journalism has created new possibilities to analyze large data sets, draw compelling stories out of public data sets and visualize changes over time using new set of tools.
University Institute of Media Studies(UIMS), best media school in India, is the first institute that provides multi-dimensional approach to train the media aspirants with research based academia for the inspiring yet challenging, multidimensional media world with panache. Our main focus is to equip our Journalism and Mass Communication students to stay relevant in the evolving face of media through our cutting edge programs. Moreover, CUs international collaborations support the students, availing them with global disclosure and buoyancy to go for the challenges of international media industry. Our inimitable academic structure in media school prepares the students with theoretical as well as practical acquaintance so that they can take on the professional world with unmatched zest right from the commencement.
With so many types of engineering to choose
from, it can be a tedious task to narrow down which one is for you, given this
extensive field of study.An organised
approach will help you choose what suits best for you. To begin with, write
down what you’re passionate about, what do you spend your free time on? All
types of engineering include some form of problem-solving (and generally focus
on making life easier), but what engineering-related solution gives you the
most buzz? If you choose a subject you’re naturally interested in, you’ll find
it easier to stay motivated during your course, and stay involved with the
subject whilst pursuing an engineering career.
Here’s a rundown of the various branches of
engineering, to help you decide which one could be for you.
Chemical engineering
Mechanical engineering
Electrical engineering
Electronic engineering
Civil engineering
Other more specialist engineering degrees
include:
Aerospace engineering (making machines that
fly – covers aircraft and spacecraft)
Automotive engineering (deals with
ground-based vehicles)
Bioengineering (engineering in a medical
context to develop better medical technologies)
Communications/telecoms/network engineering
(covers communication networks for voice and data)
Mechatronics engineering (developing and
improving manufacturing processes)
Marine technology/naval architecture/ship
science (engineering for water vessels and offshore structures)
Computer systems engineering (covers computer
hardware and software and communication networks – related to computer science
and to electronics)
How your engineering degree discipline
influences your career
Taking a degree in a particular engineering
discipline will typically influence what jobs you can apply for after
university and the specialism you have in your career. However, some
engineering employers require all-rounders, whose skills and knowledge cross
engineering disciplines. These employers may take on graduates from lots of
different engineering disciplines and train them up together to be able to work
interchangeably on any aspect of a project. For example, if you're designing a
highly complex defence system or helping to troubleshoot engineering problems
on a manufacturing production line you are likely to need to understand
different areas of engineering and use your knowledge to solve problems and to
design solutions.
What's the best type of engineering degree
to keep your options open?
If you're not sure what type of engineering
you want to specialise in, General engineering degrees are a good bet as you
get to learn about a number of different disciplines. However, on some courses
you do need to make a decision and specialise eventually.
Alternatively, some engineering disciplines
leave more doors open than others. Mechanical engineering, for example, can
lead you into a very wide range of roles and industries. Electrical, electronic
and civil engineering also leave many doors open. Some degrees will lead you down a more
defined path like more specialist degrees such as aerospace, automotive or
bioengineering. Once you've decided which engineering discipline you want to
study, choosing the right university is the next step. Choose the university
that bridges the gap from classroom to the actual professional world.

Well! It’s OK to be confused after graduation as picking-up between accepting a job or pursuing an MBA is really a tricky one. Both options take you to the absolutely diverse career paths, one leading to the office and another to college/university.
Explore CU Blog post to know about the facts which, if considered will help you get this formula right by effectively choosing between a Job or an MBA.
1. Industry Demand
First of all, look at the market demand to find out the career scope for MBA graduates. Rational market analysis enhances the chances of student’s employability and expertise in the chosen domain. Indeed, if the demand seems to be escalating in the future, then undoubtedly explore your other options and choose MBA, as specialized knowledge in the increasingly competitive marketplace will let you stand out of the crowd.
2. Check-out your finances
Second in the queue, but the most important thing is the arrangement of funds. In parallel to the market scope, also identify your source of funds. If you can afford the fees you can simply go ahead or you can even explore substantial loan options. In case these options are not for you then never risk and it’s better to take the first job , work on building your savings and then go ahead with MBA.
3. Weigh experience
The two arguments worth considering are “don’t break your flow of studies” and “experience the real-time market first to precisely find out the demand of the market.” But fix it in mind that nothing in the world can make you expert like playing in the mud first.
4. Consider benefits of pursuing MBA
Undoubtedly higher studies can help you gain significantly high industry oriented skills and the potential opportunities rise if you have a degree in your hand.
5. Ask yourself “Why”
Eventually the final decision is yours. Considering all the aforementioned points, ask yourself the actual reason for choosing the job over MBA or vice-versa. All you need to do is – think rationally that could help you in future.

In the world of management education which is bugged with myriad choices, two important aspects make a huge difference in the end - the institution and the specialization. Choosing a specialization is the only question that keeps toiling around in the brains of MBA students during the first two semesters. This is particularly true in case of those ones who made up their minds even before opting for MBA programs.
1. Know Your Strengths
Know your strengths and do a self-analysis of things you are good at. Know the fields your preferred B-School is popular for along with your preference for a one year MBA or two year. There are multiple specializations available today but it’s important that you choose your field of specialization based on your personality, skills, and career goals. But, what you’re interested in is the most important factor to be considered.
2. Focus on your Long-Term Goals
Considering the span of an average individual’s careers, one can either opt for a one year PG program or a full time MBA program with focus on any of the core functions such as business leadership, marketing, finance or HR depending on your skills. Initially, you must focus on how the specialization will boost your career, and whether you can expect long term employability, rather than being carried away with here-today-gone-tomorrow specializations.
3. Understand the Salary Figures
Learn about the salary figures of your business school for every specialization. But, do not let the salary structure be the only criteria if you’re really serious about your MBA. If salary figures are great for a specialization but you are too weak to grasp and perform in that vertical, do not choose it. Only if you get paid for what you enjoy doing, you can utilize your skills in the best possible manner. This way, you can benefit yourself as well as the organization you are associated with.
4. Know the Alumni
Learn more about the faculty who will be teaching you the respective subjects. Consider all these factors and then come to a conclusion. Early in the course of management education, you must deeply analyze the contents covered under each specialization. This will help you in choosing the right specialization, developing specific skills and in making an informed career choice at the right time.
To conclude, the combination of the specialization and the association with a particular industry or sector makes a certain amount of difference in terms of individual success or mediocrity. But let us be assured of the fact that whatever specialization we choose, it will require considerable hard work to excel and succeed which will help you transform from competent professionals to inspired business leaders.
Stop wasting time and learn how to hit the bull’s eye in the first click. On Google you are searching millions and millions of websites that are growing in number by the day and so are the questions - How do you find something, and how do you find it fast? And how do you sort the questionable sites from the legitimate and reliable ones? Who do you trust? Here is your answer how to search like a Pro and retrieve the information. Follow the link and head on to your Digital search like a PRO .
1. Exact phrase
FacebookTwitterPinterest
The simplest and most effective way to search for something specific is to use quote marks around a phrase or name to search for those exact words in that exact order.
For instance, searching for Joe Bloggs will show results with both Joe and Bloggs but not necessarily placed sequentially. Searching for “Joe Bloggs” will surface only those that specifically have the name Joe Bloggs somewhere on the page.
The exact or explicit phrase search is very useful for excluding more common but less relevant results.
2. Exclude terms
FacebookTwitterPinterest
If exact phrase doesn’t get you what you need, you can specifically exclude certain words using the minus symbol.
A search for “Joe Bloggs” -jeans will find results for Joe Bloggs, but it will exclude those results for the Joe Bloggs brand of jeans.
3. Either OR
FacebookTwitterPinterest
Default text searches find results with all the words of the query. By using the OR term you can search for one or another term, not just all the terms. OR searches can be useful for finding things that you’re not sure which term will be used from a known list.
4. Synonym search
FacebookTwitterPinterest
Sometimes it’s useful to search for a less specific term. If you’re not sure which term will be used you can use synonym search.
Searching for plumbing ~university will bring up results for plumbing from colleges as well as universities, for example.
5. Search within a site
FacebookTwitterPinterest
The search engines of most websites are poor. You can search using Google instead by using the site or domain limiter.
Searching with site:cuchd.in followed by a search term, will find results from only cuchd.in. Combining with explicit search terms makes it even more powerful.
6. The power of the asterisk
FacebookTwitterPinterest
Like the blank tile in Scrabble, the asterisk works as a wild card within searches. It can be used in place of a missing word or part of a word, which is useful for completing phrases, but also when you’re trying to search for a less definite article.
A search for architect* will search for architect, but also architectural, architecture, architected, architecting and any other word which starts with architect.
7. Searching between two values
FacebookTwitterPinterest
Searching for something with a qualifier between two ranges is a good way of answering questions. For instance, if you’re looking for the who were the British prime ministers between 1920 and 1950 a search using british prime minister 1920.. 1950 will bring up results with dates ranging between 1920 and 1950.
That’s your search term followed by two full stops and a space.
8. Search for word in the body, title or URL of a page
FacebookTwitterPinterest
Sometimes you only want to find text either within the URL, body or title of a page. Using the qualifier inurl: will search just within the url. The qualifier intext:will search within the body, while intitle: will search only within a page title.
For example, intitle:review will bring up all the articles with “review” in the page title.
9. Search for related sites
FacebookTwitterPinterest
10. Combine them
FacebookTwitterPinterest
All these search tools can be combined to narrow down or expand searches. While some of them may be used only rarely, some such as explicit phrase searches are useful in almost all cases.
As Google and other search engines improve their understanding of the way people naturally type or say search queries, these power tools will likely become less and less useful – at least that’s the goal that search engines are working towards – but that’s certainly not the case at the moment.
