Indian students no longer give preference to MBA and engineering as career options.


It is still too early for a developing country like India to see the two most influential careers fade away because of the shortages of the jobs in the field. And it is even more toxic as the majority of India’s population is still the youth. The two most raging career options in our country are MBA and engineering but the current scenario of the multinational companies firing their employees without any reason. Nirmal Singh Lotus says that the education system in the past few years noticed a lot of changes in its patterns and also their admission status. Understanding the insecurity in the jobs, even the students are now opting for different careers than just MBA and engineering and are looking for options where they would be more secure and sure about their future.

Nirmal Singh Lotus says that MBA and engineering colleges offered high packages to their students and this motivated a lot of them to get admission in the best B school and the top most engineering colleges. The entire process to crack the exams like CAT and JEE was to get admission in the best colleges so that they could get placed in the best organizations and with best packages.

But the pace at which the companies are firing their employees, it is difficult to analyze whether the placements provided by the colleges would be permanent or not. Nirmal Singh Lotus says that with a high percentage of unemployment already in the country, the entire process of the companies shutting down, transfer their employees or the firing of them just adds to the misery of the youth in the country.

Except from the top 20 MBA institutes, the percentage of the placements in the B schools is less than 7%, not even 50. Nirmal Singh Lotus says that just 7% means that a major chunk of students would be unemployed and their education and the time spent in the college would go waste. And the youth understands that. That is the reason why they are not willing to take admissions in the B schools other than the top 20 institutes.


MBA and Engineering were the two pillars of the growth in our economy. Nirmal Singh Lotus says that the shutting down of these options is a clear indication of the country moving towards a worrisome situation of recession and shows the inability of the government to provide Jobs in an economy where there most valuable asset, the human resources are lying idle.

Multitudes Apply For NEET Coaching Centres

The Centre makes it mandatory for all aspiring medical students to appear for and pass the NEET exam, and that sees a number of seat aspirants thronging to the coaching centres. Until recently, coaching centres only catered to CBSE students but since now the state students have to pass the exam to be eligible to appear for medical seats, the numbers had incredibly shot up. “We haven’t started classes yet. We’re still enrolling students but there is almost a 50 per cent increase in number of students enquiring,” said an owner of a coaching centre in West Delhi. Many-a-places, there is a limit on the number of students per batch so even if the number of aspirants increase, it still would not see a change in the number of students in the class. “We only take a maximum of 45 students, so we’re not accepting any more. But this time, the volume of calls I turned down was much higher than last year,” said the director of Pioneer Academy, Raja Rajasekaran. Most coaching cen...
