THE FLOATING SCHOOL

   Every year during Monsoon, flood covers 20% of the country.Disrupting life and causing deaths. in the past 100 years flood kills more than 50000 people and left millions of people homeless.

   Severe flooding prevents students from attending school for a good portion of time. In any given year, dozens if not hundreds of schools are destroyed. Even more schools are shut down because kids cannot get to school.

 The film 'Easy Like Water' shows the community effort to get these children their education by building school on water which is powered by Solar. Not can student attend school year around but they can get digital education.

 

   this story made me to think that with little support from community we can overcome all the difficulties which are coming in becoming literate society.

 

MBA

·                     Why Get An MBA?

Here are some common reasons:

1) for advancement in a career in business

2) career change from one business field to another or into management or administrative position in another field (such as engineering, arts, nursing)

3) obtain skills and credibility for starting own business

4) specific career goal that "requires" an MBA (such as investment banking or management consulting)

5) specific management training

6) higher salary potential

·                     How Long Does It Take?

Two full academic years, usually with an internship between the first and second years. Many schools have created more flexible and part-time options to accommodate the schedules of working students.

·                     Curriculum
The traditional model consists of a first year of core general business classes and a second year of electives allowing specialization. Some schools offer a two-tier model, in which the core classes can be waived so that students can focus more on advanced classes. Some students with a business background can enter these programs in the second half. Also, there are both national and regional schools. National schools admit students from all over the U.S. They are more visible, offer more prestigious contacts, and are often more competitive. Regional schools recruit students from their geographic region and have strong ties with local employers. When researching programs, you may want to decide which is most important for you.

·                     Factors to Consider When Researching Schools
Do advanced study courses fit your academic/career goals?
Can you take courses outside the business school?
What kinds of special programs are available (internships, entrepreneurship, projects with local companies)
What teaching method is used (lecture, case study, projects)?
Does teaching philosophy lean more toward theory or application?
Quality of faculty (research interests, areas of expertise)
Class profile (age, diversity, etc.)
Class size
Career and job search services
Location
Relationship with real-world employers
Cooperative vs. competitive environment
Financial aid

·                     Entrance Requirements
1) Academic RecordThere is no particular undergraduate degree required. Only about half of MBA students nationwide have a business or economics degree. At UT's McComb's School of Business, 34% of last year's entering class had business degrees, 24% had liberal arts degree, and 42% had technical or science degrees. Many programs require calculus or statistics as evidence of quantitative skills.

2) GMAT - Graduate Management Admission TestThis exam includes verbal, qualitative, and analytical writing sections. It is a timed test given on computer. The score is reported on a 200 to 800 scale with an average score on 500. For more information, see the GMAT website. At UT, the average GMAT score for those who were accepted for 2006 was 673.

3) Work ExperienceIt is standard for many schools to require two years of work experience prior to admission. More competitive schools may even require more years of work. For example, last year's entering class at UT's McComb's School of Business had an average of five years of experience.

Healthy Eating Tips for the Busy College Student

     Eat a good breakfast. Studies show that skipping breakfast detracts from scholastic achievement. When there isn't time to sit down and enjoy your morning meal, grab a bagel, piece of fruit, and some juice. Most of these items can be easily stored in your dorm room. 

Keep healthful snacks on hand so if hunger strikes during a late night study session, you won't be tempted by vending machine candy, chips, or ice cream. Possibilities include fresh or dried fruit, pretzels, un-buttered popcorn, rice cakes or whole wheat cracker. If you have a refrigerator, consider raw vegetables with low-fat yogurt or cottage cheese dip.


Drink lots of water. Your body needs at least eight glasses a day, and if you exercise vigorously, you may need more. To remind yourself, carry a water bottle along to class and keep it handy during late night study sessions.


Remember, food is a lot more than nourishment for our bodies. Enjoy and savor it.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

      In the 1960s and 1970s, the term information technology (IT) was a little known phrase that was used by those who worked in places like banks and hospitals to describe the processes they used to store information. With the paradigm shift to computing technology and "paperless" workplaces, information technology has come to be a household phrase In today's world they define as "the acquisition, processing, storage and dissemination of vocal, pictorial, textual and numerical information by a microelectronics-based combination of computing and telecommunications". In simple language it means , an industry that uses computers, networking, software programming, and other equipment and processes to store, process, retrieve, transmit, and protect information

      In the early days of computer development, there was no such thing as a college degree in IT. Software development and computer programming were best left to the computer scientists and mathematical engineers, due to their complicated nature. As time passed and technology advanced, such as with the advent of the personal computer in the 1980s and its everyday use in the home and the workplace, the world moved into the information age. .
       
       By the early 21st century, nearly every child in the Western world, and many in other parts of the world, knew how to use a personal computer. Businesses' information technology departments have gone from using storage tapes created by a single computer operator to interconnected networks of employee workstations that store information in a server farm, often somewhere away from the main business site. Communication has advanced, from physical postal mail, to telephone fax transmissions, to nearly instantaneous digital communication through electronic mail (email). 

        A few of the duties that IT professionals perform may include data management, networking, engineering computer hardware, database and software design, as well as management and administration of entire systems. Information technology is starting to spread farther than the conventional personal computer and network technology, and more into integrations of other technologies such as the use of cell phones, televisions, automobiles, and more, which is increasing the demand for such jobs.

         Jobs in information technology are widely varied, although many do require some level of higher education. Positions as diverse as software designer, network engineer, and database administrator are all usually considered IT jobs. Nearly any position that involves the intersection of computers and information may be considered part of this field.

BMM Fundas

 

        Don't want to continue mundane graduate courses like BSc, BA and Commerce? Think you have creative juices flowing in your blood?? Then BMM (Bachelor in Mass Media) could be just the course for you. This is a 3 year graduation course where all the subjects related to media are taught. In the 3rd year, you have the option of majoring in either Advertising or Journalism.

        This course in not as simple as many might perceive it to be and don't get into it thinking there is not much to study, theory is tough and there are many exhausting projects to complete. There's also this trend of BMM colleges having their own festival, which is an attraction as well as a distraction Colleges offering BMM.

Admission requirements:
The eligibility for this course is 10+2 from any stream with a compulsory 50% secured in the board exams. 

Choosing a BMM college
Check out the teaching faculty and especially how many professional guest lecturers, workshops, industrial visits and projects were undertaken - it varies widely between colleges. For example, Wilson had 15 workshops and 25 professional guest lecturers while Andrews was found lagging behind on both counts. Also consider the college's influence in the advertising world (how many internships they could wrangle for their students), media equipment (like computers, cameras, video) etc and of course overall student's satisfaction.

Conclusion:
The placement prospects after BMM are uncertain. With over 700 BMM students enrolling last year (and more expected in the near future), most students may be in the same boat as your average BA/ BCom graduate ie searching for a "good" job. The top 20 ad agencies prefer MBAs/ MICA graduates for client servicing and copywriters will still be selected through a Copy Test.

Tip for students planning to enter journalism - write, write and write. The more articles you manage to get published the better your chance of landing a job right after BMM. Considering the boom in the TV industry, the course needs to pay more attention to that area.
