NSBM produces graduate knowledge professionals fortified with skills & aptitudes demanded by the future corporate world
View(s):Higher education in the 21st century has redefined and broadened with the emphasis on Knowledge, Recognition and Personality where these have become equally important with the flourishing market segments of many higher education institutes in the play. Decision of selecting a proper path of study and the institute is becoming increasingly complicated when parent’s awareness on three properties of Knowledge, Recognition & Personality of higher education in the 21st century will unwrap them to make the right choice on their child’s higher education.
Computer Science, Management or any other path you have selected, it becomes compulsory to be capable enough with the physical and human capacity to deliver the theoretical and practical aspects of the subject compatible with international standards. Hence, the parents have to be well aware of the faculty from which their child gets the education as it becomes the key delivering point in higher education backed by a solid pathway with the access to information and practice
Secondly the recognition of the awarded degree is much important as that holds the key for the acceptance in the industry once after the graduation. As a matter of fact rankings of the university, validity of the Programme, stability and the acceptance of local and international bodies such as UGC are some of the aspects those can lead to understand this. In the last decade we witnessed most of the new higher education institutes start but fail in their short run lesser than a survival of five years, which made most of the passed out students stranded in carrier advancement as the recognition for their degree failed dramatically afterwards. Thus parent’s involvement in leading their child to a place where they feel the stability is guaranteed should play a major role in today’s world.
The other most important aspect is that during the process of degree, it must end by grooming your child as an esteemed personality where they will end up as personalities who would respect themselves and respect others in return. The need of a developed society is an enhanced lifestyle which has no aggressive or passive community. This eradicates most of the problems been faced by our society as it gives self-control in all our behaviors and is the need of a nation which is booming after three decades of war. Higher education institutes can play a major role in this regard and position its graduates in higher levels of the industry and society by building of esteem personality’s become a part of their curriculums and culture.
