Guidance for B Tech student

 Whether it is B.Tech, M.Tech or MBA/Ph D, 

just ignite the fire 🔥 of learning in the mind of your kid and trust that child can do it.

2

This is how a professor guided his kids

 and both are enjoying: 

daughter MBA with 72% marks

 and son

 B.Tech CSE with 68% marks and

 was National player of volleyball.

*"**"*

Yes 🤣 child will do it if parents and elders keep self control and  stop interference and asking uncessary accountability for the performance.


#USE POWER of APPRECIATION

 and postive encouraging words.#



Now: 

The dialogue between father and MBA daughter 

F= 

Dear daughter, 

you are very intelligent, I know. 

I don't care what your mom, grandmother or people say about you.

I know you are brilliant and my diamond.


D=

Papa really and hugs ❤️ her papa tightly. 

But papa, mummy and grandmother keep cursing and nagging me.


F= Are they B.Sc, dear?

D= No papa. 

They judge and react with outer physical eyes. They feel inferior to you. 

You are the gem of World brains.

Do you know, 

B.Sc, MBA are #1 brains?


D= 

Is it really papa?

F =

Yes, really. 

Now listen well.

For MBA you need to clear entrance test like MAT, XAT, CAT and more you can google.

I suggest MAT.

 Because it is conducted 4 times in a year where as all others are conducted once a year.

After clearing the test,

 clear interview and you join residential MBA.


For 4 semesters,

 you are in the hostel.

Full freedom, 

no interference of anyone,

 neither mine's nor your mom or grandmother.

After 2 years, 

you will be B.Sc, 

MBA and plenty of jobs will be in your kitty.



D=

But papa, how will you manage fee  in lacs?


F= 

No need to worry dear. 

Education loan from  bank upto 4 lac is without any guarantee and I am eligible..

Your responsibility is to get through the Entrance test.

Will you do?


D=

Quite elated said: 

yes papa and hugged tightly.


F=

Then paying fee is my responsibility.

Daughter cleared test..

 Joined MBA in South Indian autonomous college by depositing 20000 (twenty thousand).

Total expenditure was Rs 3.90 lacs and she became perfect in English language much appreciated in North India.

Receipt was given to bank and bank gave education loan to the student.


No burden on parents. 

 B. Sc qualification maximum salary 25000 in life 😉.

B Sc, MBA qualification - starting package 5 lac i.e 40000+ per month.

Isn't it better than spending lavishly on marriage?

Daughter empowered for life!


NOW story of B Tech 😃 CSE son.


F=

Clear AAAE test and choose the college of your choice.

Getting you admitted and paying fees is my job.

Son=

Ok 👌 papa. 

Done.


He did it. 


None knew where the son was studying. 

 Relatives, negative thinkers like auntie uncle were avoided. 

If the son did not get good marks, he was not scolded or reprimanded rather @ENCOURAGING attitude was shown and he performed better next time.


Discouraging comments were avoided.

For full 1 and half year,

 son searched and applied for jobs and is now Manager (Operations) in a renowned MNC.


This is how without money 💰 I got my two kids educated and they are well settled, professor said proudly.


YES,

 I didn't allow any nagging person to call my kids. 

Many unbearable comments from relatives and friends but kids were kept away from those negative thinkers who themselves know nothing but keep giving irrelevant sermons.

I have to live life with kids 😭 or relatives?

*     Full freedom, 

full TRUST,

 *no comments, no NEGATIVE comments

no interference till the kids remained busy for study in hostels .

 * No force for marks. 

Quite free will.


THIS is now going to  pay whole of life 🤣.

Closes professor.

What a good guidance, sir, I said.

EDUCATION Loan

गाइडंस  (Guidance )

Image result for Education

भारत में शिक्षा खर्चीली है।  यह यथार्थ की बजाय एक दिमागी पहाड़ अधिक है।  जबकि शिक्षा एक ऐसी इन्वेस्टमेंट है जो बच्चे के लिए बरदान है।

A child without education is like a bird without wings.
एक 
अशिक्षित बच्चाबैसे है जैसे  बिना परों के पक्षी। 

Education i s a better guard of liberty than standing army.
सेना की बजाये शिक्षा बेहतर मानसिक आज़ादी प्रदान करती है। 

Educating a child today is preparing the child for tomorrow i.e. future.
 बच्चे को आज पढ़ाने का अर्थ है उसका भविष्य संबारना। 

It is education that enables a child to travel the entire world with least  spending  More world can be visited and understood through reading books.

शिक्षित इंसान कम खर्च से दुनिया की सैर कर सकता है।  अधिक दुनिया किताबें पढ़ कर समझी जा सकती है। 

अब एक केस स्टडी। 

5 -7 बर्ष पहले एक करियाना (grocer ) आया और कहने लगा :
आज के महंगाई के युग में 

परिवार पालना और बच्चों की पढ़ाई बहुत ही खर्चीला काम है। 

प्रोफेसर साहिब ने पूछा यह आप क्यों कह रहे हैं ?

ग्रोसर बोला :


 साहिब मेरी तीन बेटियां हैं।  बड़ी  12 बीं मे पढ़ रही है , उससे छोटी 10 बीं में और उससे छोटी 9 बीं क्लास में।  मैं बड़ी मुश्किल से 15000 रूपए महीना कमा पाता हूँ।  मैं हमेशा चिंतित रहता हूँ की इनकी शादी कैसे कर पायूँगा। 

यह सब उसने एक ही सांस मैं कह दिया।  जिससे पता चलता था कि बह कितना परेशान है। 

प्रोफेसर साहिब बोले : आप अपनी बड़ी बेटी को मेरे पास भेजना। 

ठीक साहिब , बह बोला। 

कुछ दिनों के बाद उसकी बड़ी बेटी और ग्रोसर आप आया। 

बेटी ने बताया कि बह  12 बीं क्लास Non -Medical में कर रही है और उसके बाद B.Sc करेगी। 

बिलकुल सही , आप B.Sc करने के बाद मेरे पास आना और आगे की पढ़ाई के लिए में आपको गाइड कर दूंगा।  परंतु B.Sc में कम से कम 50 % नंबर जरूर लेना। 

उसके 3 -4 साल बाद बह लड़की अपने पिता के साथ आई।  उसने B.Sc. 66 % नम्बरों से पास की थी। 
प्रोफेसर ने  दी।  

अब आगे की क्या प्लान है।  लड़की ने अभी बोलना ही था उससे पहले उसका पिता बोला : अच्छा सा लड़का देख इसकी शादी करेंगे।  

इस उत्तर से लड़की के चेहरे पर उदासी छा गई।  

प्रोफेसर ने लड़की से पूछा : बेटी आप क्या करना चाहती हो ?

"मैं आगे पड़ना चाहती हूँ "

पिता से पूछा : आप इसकी शादी पर कितने पैसे लगायोगे 

पिता बोला : 2 -3 लाख लगा ही दूंगा। 

"ठीक है आप केवल 50000 रूपए दें और यह MBA कर लेगी। MBA करने से इसको अच्छी नौकरी मिल जाएगी और यह साड़ी उम्र आपकी सहायता करेगी "

पिता हैरान था कि क्या ऐसा हो सकता है ?



प्रोफेसर ने लड़की को कहा , आप MAT की तैयारी करो।  MAT (Management Aptitude Test ) होता है जिससे MBA में एडमिशन मिलती है।  

प्रोफेसर ने अंग्रेजी बोलना लिखना सीखाया। 

लड़की MAT पास कर गयी।

उसके बाद उसने MBA के लिए क्वालीफाइंग टेस्ट जैसे GD , PT ,ST  आदि पास कर लिए। 

पिता ने जो 50000 रूपए दिए थे उनसे कालिज को फीस का एडवांस दे दिया। 

कालिज ने प्रोविजनल एडमिशन लैटर भेज दिया।  

यह लेटर लगा कर और कई डॉक्यूमेंट लगा कर बैंक से एजुकेशन लोन ले लिया।  बड़ी आसानी से लोन मिल गया। 

2 साल होस्टल में रह कर लड़की ने MBA कर ली और एक कंपनी ने कैंपस इंटरव्यू में उसे स्लैक्ट कर लिया। 
कुछ साल उस कंपनी मैं काम करने के बाद उस लड़की की ऑस्ट्रेलिया मैं काम करने बाले लड़के से शादी हो गई।  

कुछ साल बाद उसकी बहने भी ऑस्ट्रेलिया चली गई।  पिता और माता भारत में हैं और बहुत खुश हैं कि उनकी तीनों बेटियां खुश हैं।  प्रोफेसर का धन्यवाद करते है। 

बैंक लोन तो 7 साल में ख़त्म हो जायेगा परंतु MBA की डिग्री और उससे मिला मान सामान तो हमेशा  ही रहेगी। बिना लोन के पिता हो सकता उन बच्चों की पढ़ाई 12 बी में ही बंद कर देता।  बच्चों का भविष्य 99 % माता पिता द्वारा हौसला और आर्थिक सहायता देने से होता है।  कोई दूसरा इतना बच्चों का भविष्य इतना परभाभित नहीं कर पता जितना माता पिता का हौसला।

यदि आपकी  स्थिति अच्छी नहीं है तब भी बैंक एजुकेशन लोन लेकर बच्चे को काबिल बनायो।  बच्चा कमाई करके  लोन बापिस लोटा देगा।  उसका साथ केवल  माँ बाप  और अपनों ने ही देना है किसी और ने नहीं।  पढ़ाई से ज्ञान बढ़ता है।   

असली धन 

धन बह इकठा करो जो तुम्हारी रक्षा करे। 
न की बह जिसकी रक्षा तुम्हे करनी पड़े।

POWER OF PLANNED EDUCATION



POWER OF PLANNED EDUCATION

 

Education Loan Cost Benefit Analysis.

 

 

 

A few years back, a petty shop keeper came to a mentor and expressed his inability to get his 3 daughters educated due to financial problem.

 

Shop Keeper: Sir, I am unable to pay the fee and college expenses of my eldest daughter who is studying in B.Sc. (Non-Medicatl)

 

Mentor:    Get your daughter well educated and she will support you financially.

 

Shop Keeper: But this is not possible sir because the cost of education is very high.

 

Mentor:     How much do you earn per month?

 

Shop Keeper:    Rs. 10000 to Rs. 15000 approximately and have to feed a family of 5 and pay the fee and expenses of 3 daughters. Two are in school and the 3rd is in the college.

 

Mentor:  Do you file income tax returns?

 

Shop Keeper:  No sir.

 

Mentor: Start filing income tax returns.

 

Shop Keeper: My income is below taxable limit sir.

 

Mentor:  Even then file your returns.   (Shop keeper looks suspicious.)

However he agreed to file the returns.

 

After 3 years, the shop keeper came to the mentor and broke the news that her daughter has passed B.Sc. (Non-Medical) in first division. He brought sweets too.

 

Shop Keeper: Sir, I wish  she should do P.G.

 

Mentor: Which P.G?

 

Shop Keeper:  Any P.G.

 

Mentor: No any P.G. Ask her to go for MBA.

 

Shop Keeper: But sir for MBA, I don’t have money.

 

Mentor: How much can you spare for MBA?

 

Shop Keeper : (Thinking for a while)  About 1 lac, sir.

 

Mentor:  Right.  Now tell, ask your daughter to clear MAT (Management Aptitude Test)

 

She passed the MAT with very high rank and many institutions offered her admissions.

 

But the fee was a problem. Mentor searched for a good college for her. Efforts of the mentor bought one good college in South was having a fee below Rs. 3.00 lacs including hostel fee. The MBS course was residential. The college readily offered the admission to the brilliant student. Provisional letter of admission was sent through email on receipt of 5% of the amount.

 

Showing the receipt and admission letter to the bank, educational loan of Rs. 4.00 lacs was offered to the student.

 

After 2 years, she was MBA and was selected by a bank through campus interview. She joined the bank and is now working in the bank.

 

CBA (Cost-Benefit-Analyis)

 

Alone Graduation   -  job opening and promotion limited.

After MBA – job through campus interview.

 

Father’s investment     : Just Rs. 20000/-

Education Loan :           Rs. 4,00,000/-  ( No guarantor  or security required Only Income Tax returns required)

Rate of interest    :         10% approximately.

Repayment period :       7 years

Repayment starts:          6 months if the loanee is employed otherwise from the date of passing the final exam.

 

Now.
The daughter earns Rs. 20000/- (estimate) and pays back Rs. 5000/- per month

Balance Rs. 15000/- is retained by the family. Full support to father. Father is now having a Departmental Support.

 

After 7 years entire educational loan is repaid and full salary for the next 25 years is the students earning that comes to about Rs. 80 to 90 lacs during working period directly plus indirect income i.e. earning from the investment and re-investment.

 

Got loan of Rs. 4.00 lacs and earned Rs. 80.00 to Rs. 90.00 plus the best social prestige of carrying degree of MBA. Can any other investment pay this much?

Learning

Learning is a life long process. Even the last day of life a person learns what happens when a person goes from this world.


A course in Entrepreneurship or any field of learning, I mean education, teaches techniques which help in times of need. 

In MBA minimum 30 and maximum 45 or more subjects are taught. Does this mean that all the subjects are used by the students in life or career? The learning of these subjects enable the student to be aware about the  environment and be fit to carry on his job. 

Tools and techniques have helped humanity to grow. Earlier humans had tools made of wood and stone, then iron and then silicon etc. etc. 

A computer is a tool and internet is technique with which the user can have interface with the entire world. This write up has reached you through internet. I wanted to learn Photoshop, Corel Draw and Adobe page Maker at this age of 55. I was feeling shy to go to the school or college and learn these. But I opened Google and searched for tutorials. Free tutorials and videos on You Tube were watched. Now I am able to work with Photoshop, Corel Draw and Adobe Page Maker. In a year's time, I shall become an expert and better than many who have got formal education about these software in schools or colleges. Techniques learnt. 

Techniques enable a person to achieve what he conceives and believes. Milkha Singh- the flying Sikh from India won the gold medal in Commonwealth Games 400 mtr race by employing the technique told and taught by his mentor.

His mentor observed that the rival in the race of 400 mtrs. employs a particular technique. His rival was winning the gold medals in the earlier Commonwealth Games. The mentor told: Look Milkha Singh your rival - the present Gold Medalist -runs first 300 mts. very slow and in the last 100 mtrs. he picks up the speed and leaves all the participants behind.

In this Commonwealth Games you will employ different technique. You will run fast in the first 300 mitrs and fast too in the last 100 mtrs race. Milkha Singh practiced with this technique in min and  employed the technique in Common Wealth 400 mtr. race and won the Gold Medal. Gold Medal was given by honourable Queen while the Indian flag was flying and national anthem was being played. Milkha Singh won 77 times out of 88 events which itself is a record.

This is the wonder of techniques. A course equips a person with techniques. Bigger the arsenal  better the combat.

CMAT


CMAT route to B-School

              By Rahul Sharma



In order to reduce the rigors of multiple examination process for admission in management institutions, the All India Council of Technical Education(AICTE), the statutory body and a national-level council for technical and management education in

India, will be holding first national level Common Management Admission Test(CMAT) 2012  for facilitating institutions to select suitable students for admission in all management programmes approved by AICTE for 2012-13.



 CMAT is another exam along with CAT,MAT, XAT, ATMA and JMET for students aspiring to take admission in more than 4,000 management colleges across India. The examination is being widely speculated as the only exam other than CAT for getting admission in management institutions in future.



Advantage CMAT

           

            CMAT will facilitate institutions to select suitable students for admission in all management programmes approved by AICTE for 2012-1. The list includes government colleges or institutions running management courses approved by AICET.



           In the given situation, CMAT will have an edge over the examination like MAT, XAT, SNAP, ATMA etc. in terms of wider acceptance.

      

           While MAT and ATMA are accepted largely by private institutions which have higher fees; SNAP, XAT and other individual examinations cater to only one institution or a group of institutions.

           CMAT examination will make students eligible for admission to any government –run MBA programmes across the country that have a comparatively lower fee structure and better faculty-student ratio.

           CMAT will also enable students to compete for larger number of seats available for admission process (4 lakh seats) and thus an opportunity for better self-assessment.



         Test Pattern

     

        The computer-based CMAT test will comprise four sections:

a)      Quantitative Techniques and data interpretation.

b)      Logical reasoning

c)      Language Comprehension

d)      General Awareness.



        Each section will have 25 questions with maximum attainable score of 100. One can move back and forth between the four sections. The duration of the test will be 180 minutes. There will be negative marking  in CMAT and 1 mark will be deducted for each wrong answer.

          Acceptance of the Score

       There is much talk about the acceptance of CMAT scores by the top B-Schools for the 2012-13 session. Many colleges have their compulsions in terms of their pre-released admission notification.

        They are not against unified testing system or the CMAT. However, the timing of CMAT notification and delay in its announcement made the situation difficult for the colleges. To be on safer side, students should take CMAT along with other entrance examination. This way they will be eligible for admission to the colleges that will accept CMAT score this year if they score well in this exam.

GD PERSONAL INTERVIEW



CAT-GDPI



Ace the final frontier

                    By Ravinder Bhatia*



CAT 2011 for 13 IIMs and more than 150 management colleges across the country is over and now focus for all 2.05 lakh candidates is on the second phase of admission process which consists of group discussion, personal interview, case studies, extempore etc. This is the state where candidates’ confidence and spontaneity in decision making is judged.



One can anticipate some questions and prepare the ideal answers but always remember there is no ideal answer. For this stage, your replies should be in sync with your personality and the prevailing situation and you should make your answer clear and precise.



Special touch



While selecting candidates, the MBA schools always look for special qualities which will justify the MBA school as well as the courses offered by them. You should have ‘fire-in-the-belly’ and zeal to achieve something big. They look out for achievers.



MBA programmes want students who can lead people and be responsible for the management of an entire organization. Because leadership is one of the main ingredients of success, your communication skills, initiative, and motivation can become the most important aspects of the admission process which are tested through GDs.



MBA schools look for a candidate who has created value by being at the helm in group-based activities and is comfortable in this role, works well with others and operates smoothly and constructively in collaborative situation, who is not afraid of winning and seeing others lose, has good interpersonal values and morals, brings interesting attributes, experience and depth of back ground to the group, is comfortable with change and is ready to use it creatively, can write, speak and organize ideas well. In short, B-schools look for knowledge, presentation skills, team spirit and self-understanding.



Managerial attributes



GDs are conducted to test your managerial attributes like interpersonal skills, leadership, analytical and rational thinking, knowledge and personality traits. Communicating in clear and fluent manner is a must.



How to prepare



You can prepare for GD at two levels- individual and group. Focus on improving your fluency and listening skills. Read aloud from a book or newspaper, preferably in front of a mirror. You should also do some discussion with your peer group.

Another crucial part of GD is listening. A good listener can summarise discussions in a decent manner. In this way, he can get a good score by presenting a good case over an idea provided by other participants. You should do some listening exercise for the purpose of GD preparation.

Avoid the following during the group discussion or interview:-

·        Shaking legs

·        Chewing Gum

·        Playing with your tie.

·        Slouching in the chair

·        Wearing a tie without buttoning the collar. Check it standing before the mirror.



Preparing a Case Study:

  

              When practicing for case study it is important to consider the following points:

·        Analyse information, conclude, act and recommend action.

·        Be logical and clear in your reasoning.

·        Maintain good eye contact and listen carefully to the information you are given.



Right view for interview:

                      The focus of a B-school interview can range from specific questions about your job to broad discussions on life.

                      Approach the interview as a conversation to be enjoyed and not as a question-and-answer order.

                      A discussion on your hobby may go on and on. This does not mean that interviewers are not serious. It just means that you are being sized up as a person and a future professional in all your dimensions.

                      Interviewers develop an impression of you in the first few minutes of the meeting and spend rest of the interview confirming their initial impression.

                      The interview panel may include students. Don’t treat them as light weights.

Before you appear for an interview, you should have a good idea about what you consider to be greatest strength. Open ended questions like “ Introduce yourself” are usually the ones that help to start the interview.

                      Lack of preparation is a common complaint among interviewers, an if you are prepared, you will stand out among your competitors.



Do your homework:



                     Do enough research about your self and the business school so that you have the right answers to some usual questions. These may include: “Why are you right for this particular business school? and “why is this particular programme right for you?”



                     You will need to develop and present a framework. Always remember to tp include SWOT while discussing the case study.

                      You don’t need to stick rigidly to a framework but use it to frame your answer. With written case studies, remember to think about your presentation – use paragraphs and bullet points to make your points clear.
