Engineering and MBA have become the main stream of courses that most of the students desire. However, they do not offer the worth as their name suggests. Recently, a survey of MBA and Engineer students, identified that only 7% of the MBA and engineering students are employable. The rest, if placed, earn less than ten thousand per month. These traditional courses have been affected a lot in the global market. The students are greatly discouraged due to such stats.
The End of Traditional Courses
A faculty of IIM, Varsha Khander, said “Yes, many streams in engineering, such as Mechanical Electrical, and Chemical have reached a point of stagnation. There are very few jobs in the market, and they are not very exciting. Traditional MBA has also reached its tipping point. There is a clear mismatch in the demand and supply. Students are looking for fresh courses that will rule the job market in the coming years”. Thus, students are shifting from traditional to unconventional courses. “I want to perhaps study Spa Management, let’s see who offers that. Or else, have to move abroad,” says, Vinith Kumar, a student of a Top International.
New Unconventional Courses
Some institutions have lately gained awareness for the demand of unconventional subjects. For example, iNurture in Bangalore has partnered with Golden Valley Education Trust and Europe’s Galileo Educational Network to provide new-age global programs to Indian UG and PG students. The programs help the student to pursue global careers such as
-
Sports Management
-
Luxury Management

Cartography

Anthropology

Tea Tasting

MBA degrees in these courses is not only exciting, but they also have a lot of opportunities. They are the youth courses for the new age youth. Dr. T Venkat Vardhan, Founder of DNA Entertainment Networks Pvt Ltd. believe that the future of education is in the hands of such courses. He says, “The vocational, allied and technical disciplines need to be paid attention, and through Golden Valley Education Trust, I am trying to do that.”
