    Sayan Banerjee: can anyone go abroad after completing masters through distance education ???? i mean is their degree valid for PhD abroad ?????"
    Mahesh, Editor, Careers360 answers: yes provided the degree is from a UGC /DEC approved institution"

    Sayan Banerjee:
    my degree is from IGNOU"
    Mahesh, Editor, Careers360 answers:it is valid, but for the B Tech correspondence programme which is sub-judice"

    Sayan Banerjee:
    last question from my side sir what about ddegrees from UK i heard that heir masters is invalid in india .........what about their PhD ???? is it invalid too ????
    Mahesh, Editor, Careers360 answers:sayan technically yes. colleges can deny you a job if the degree is from a country whcih does not have reciprocity with India, but normally programmes which are offered by leading universities are accepted by indian universities as well

    Sayan Banerjee:
    now it's clear to me...... finally.........thanks a ton SIR

    Vijay: hi sir ,i did my engineering from electronics then after i join software company 6 month before now i am not satisfied with software job so suggest my some good option"
    Mahesh, Editor, Careers360 answers:vijay first figure out if your dissatisfaction is with the company or the nature fo the job.that would influence your future course of action"

    vijay:
    Job is fantastic .. compay is also well know . but i wish to achieve something which give me some stability..
    Mahesh, Editor, Careers360 answers: vijay very few jobs today provide stability unless you get a job in govt. that is the closest you could come to in terms of stability. If that is what you seek then IES is an option or public sector companies like BHEL or NTPC or IOC.

    vijay: could we do MBA from foreign country without exprience and govt wud provide scholership...........if yes then which exam we need to appear............
    Mahesh, Editor, Careers360 answers: Vijay, MBA has become very expensive and full scholarship programmes are extremely competitive. so work experience of very good quality is a sine qua non

    vijay:
    one more favour .............one of my brother got 10358 rank in gate he did elctronics engg.............so he is getting admission in japyee guna and rgtu bhapal ...................so should he take admission in japyee guna in Mtech or go for some other
    Mahesh, Editor, Careers360 answers: vijay i am not aware of the infrastructure and facilities at Jaypee Guna. RGTU is a good school, your brother may consider: what is the career prospects in B.E. Intrumantation Technology? my son has got a seat in M.S Ramiah Institute of Technology, Bangalore. Can he opt for the course?

    ***
    m.s.u.mazumder: my son has got a seat in m.s.ramaiah institute of technology, bangalore in b.e. instrumentation technology. is it ok?
    Mahesh, Editor, Careers360 answers: yes of course

    m.s.u.mazumder: what about aditya engineering college, surampalem, east godabari dist., andra pradesh? is b.tech. in cse is alright there? please help.
    Mahesh, Editor, Careers360 answers:as automation increases in scope the need of instrumentation guys is on the rise. honestly i am not in favour of a B Tech graduate going for a master's degree for which he has to pay an hefty fee barring a few exceptions. unless the M Tech is tied to an company or a sector for which job assurance exists or the student is deeply interested in reserach or teaching as a career then M TEch is a good option. M S Ramiah is a good school. but i not aware of the quality of their M TEch programme so cant comment on that

    Prerna: Please let me know about getting good career growth option after doing MBA after 1.6 Yrs of experience in Hr. IS SAP course a good option??
    Mahesh, Editor, Careers360 answers: prena your question is not clear? have you finished 1.6 years of work ex after MBA and then interested in pursuing SAP.

    Prerna: yes Mahesh.. i m working in an IT company and have total experience of more than 1.6 yrs. i am intrested in doing SAP HR but not sure how it will help me in carrier growth. Hope u can help me!
    Mahesh, Editor, Careers360 answers:prerna i am not sure a 1.6 years work ex is sufficient to gain benefits from SAP course. one needs at least 3- 4 years of work experience in a particular sub domain of HR before one can appreiciate SAP modules and then any firm too would be happy to hire you as a functional expert.

    Prerna: Thanks Mahesh.. can u suggest some good institutes for SAP HR courses..

Production is an ever green branch, but with the rise in focus on efficiencies opportuntities are on the rise all manufacturing sectors but it does demand superior quantitiatve skills and a side diploma in project management would round up your cv well

    Poonam: hello sir i had talked to u earlier ..i want to know that i m going to take admsn in iims delhi which is recognised from MDU Rohtak itself bt i dnt heard dis name. can u plz suggest me wt to do. sir can u plz help me to take any decision.
    Mahesh, Editor, Careers360 answers:Poonam any MDU Rohtank is in Haryana. I t can not affiliate or recognise any college outside Haryana. So this must be a distance learning arrangement.

    Poonam: but sir on their website n even i cald their they said that it is regular program.
    Mahesh, Editor, Careers360 answers:Poonam can you send me the college link.

    Poonam: https://www.iimseducation.com/. sir i m totally confused plz help me out of dis.
    Mahesh, Editor, Careers360 answers:I have been checking their site. Nowhere they are using the term affiliated to MDU Rothtak. Also the dead give away is PGDM+ MBA. The PGDM is their own programme and MBA is the Distance learning degree from MDU or Manipal. So in effect you will pursue a full time programme which is totally unregulated either by AICTE or any other agency.

    Poonam: sir it means they r syng lie.  n wt abt manav rachna faridabad.
    Mahesh, Editor, Careers360 answers: visit their campus. see if it has enough faculty and facilities. Check their placement figures and find out the costs involved. i would still recommnded a fullly affiliated college or AICTE approved istitutute always. It is a fully recognised university. your degree is quite valid.

    Poonam: ok n sir can u plz tel m having 48 percnt so i vl gt admsn in manav rachna or not. bcz mdu is having 45 % eligibility criteria bt manv rachna is syng 50.
    Mahesh, Editor, Careers360 answers: i am not sure. you will have to check. if mdu has only 45% then look for an affiliated college attached to MDU. it will be cost effective as well.

    Poonam: sir i checked on mdu official website there is 45 % criteria. sir i m looking for those colleges which are affiliated from mdu bt the collges are saying criteria is 50. i m just totally fed up what to do now.
    Mahesh, Editor, Careers360 answers: Poonam there are no easy solutions. wasting money in a unapproved institute is also not a solution. immediately register for a distnace learning programme from MDU Rohtak directly. You will at least have an MBA in two years. Poonam in the interium two years look for any job that comes your way. Office management, sales, front office, call centre.

    Poonam: yes sir i thnk u r right.

    Sreshtha Mondal: sir is university of kanpur a good option to pursue b.pharma from upsee-2012 ranks?

    Mahesh, Editor, Careers360 answers:sreshta we have very little information on pharma colleges beyond the top 25- 30. So visit the college personally and see for your self about the facilities, number of faculities, kind fo placements. If you are convinced then join them.

    Sreshtha Mondal:also sir is it true that biotech. is a new field in india so there is less job opportunities and research here for those who take up biotech?
    Mahesh, Editor, Careers360 answers:as on date yes. but it also depends on where you pursue your course from. some of the public universities like JNU or Pondicherry have very good reputation and MSc there would be still valuable.

    Mahesh, Editor, Careers360 answers:  Aishwarvya we are in the process of testing out a Counseling engine. Will launch by the third week of June. That would answer your query much more scientifically.

    Aishwarya Sharma: Sir what would be better in future after doing B.E? M.Tech from IITs or MBA from IIMs.
    Mahesh, Editor, Careers360 answers:  It would be irrelevant as for as MBA is concerned. But a generic branch like IT, Computer Science, Mechanical or Electronics would stand you in good stead.
    Sorry I meant Mechanical.

    Aishwarya Sharma: Sir what is the ideal time to start preparing for GATE and CAT ?
    Mahesh, Editor, Careers360 answers: Ideally you must begin work from your 5th semester onwards and intensify during the sixth and the seventh.

    Mahesh, Editor, Careers360 answers: Kavya Photography is a field of passion. Some avenues pay very well some don't. We are coming with a review on photography in the coming month. Please read it before you decide.

    Kavya Rastogi: OK sir if I opt to do engineering, which branch should I opt keeping in mind that I want to do MBA.
    Mahesh, Editor, Careers360 answers: Immediate prospects wise IIMs score much better than others.

    Kavya Rastogi: Even I aim to do MBA from IIM.Ok My Options are these four only  ... giving Priority to CS if not Photography. Then which course other than Engineering would you prefer if I want to do MBA?

    mahesh Kavya, Engineering is a good bet. In fact the four years would stand you in good stead since you would have withstood the rigour of a good programme.
    Mahesh, Editor, Careers360 answers:The point I was making is that as for an MBA selection process is concerned they do not differentiate between branches that’s all.

    Kavya Rastogi: When can I expect "Review on Photography" in your magazine ? Which month?
    Mahesh, Editor, Careers360 answers
    : July or August issue.

    Kavya Rastogi: Sir When will engineering portal be launched? Which month? Will it be online or in the magazine?
    Mahesh, Editor, Careers360 answers: It would be an online portal.

Sir, I am confused about which branch to choose ... some says for girl’s computer is good some suggest Biomedical. What’s your opinion?
    Mahesh, Editor, Careers360 answers:Anita, there is nothing like good for girls and such non sense. the only issue is branches like mechanical and mining demand tremendous physical endurance. you will have to decide if you can stand that.  Anita, if you have assessed your endurance levels then look for branches that interests you . A computer science is substantially more technology oriented than say an Information technology. Bio medical would demand some understanding of biology in your 1.

    Mahesh, Editor, Careers360 answers: Pankaj it is a function of where you get your MBA. If it is a tier 3 or Tier 4 institution then yes it does make sense fo go for a MSc. But that must not be the reason you go for an MSC.

    Pankaj Kumar: Sir wats tier 3 or tier 4 institutions?
    Mahesh, Editor, Careers360 answers: Pankaj these are institutions that have very few campus placements, not much infrastructure, poor or non exisitent faculty.

    Pankaj Kumar: Sir as maths graduate wat r other options 4 me....to secure a gud job.....other dan MBA or MSc.
    Mahesh, Editor, Careers360 answers:Pankaj. when are not doing a professional degree then you must carpet bomb. Prepare and write all the job entrances from PSUs to Public sector banks. Do a masters by correspondence. But conserve money and keep looking. Pankaj the other alternative is to look for an entry level job in private sector. But that would mean superior english and computer skills to begin with.

    Pankaj Kumar: Sir dat means any professional degree is must nowdays.
    Mahesh, Editor, Careers360 answers: Pankaj unless you are willing to slog it out for the elusive competitive exam based jobs, it does make sense to go for an professional degree. but even then what matters is where you do your course from

    Mahesh, Editor, Careers360 answers: yaseen the choice of a stream is based on your capabilities and interest. a finance specialisation would demand high order of math and acccounting skills a Marketing function would need you to be outgoing and physically tough.

An ISB is very different from a skyline whcih is very different from a recognised college operating in say padmapuram a villge in tamil nadu. So the question to ask is what am i looking for.
