How an MBA degree is suitable for a regular non engineering student without any work experience? Also please enlighten me which one is better MBA or PGDMA ?

Ans: Technically it does not matter if it is MBA or PGDBA, what matters is the college that gives the degree. Most of the top IIMs used to provide PGDBA but now they provide an MBA degree. Usually if it is a university management course (affiliated to university) then the degree is MBA, if it is course provided by college (without university affiliation) then it is PGDBA.
When you are doing MBA, it does not matter if you an Engineer or not. You can choose your career based on your interest. Can choose among Consulting, Finance, General Management, Marketing, HR, etc.

Hello sir, What are the career options for students having PCM in 12th standard other than engineering degrees. My daughter is good at Maths and average in chemistry and physics also we as parents not able to decide what could be the appropriate graduation choice for her. Just to add she is also not inclined towards programming and AI.
Ans: Hello Ankit.
It is glad to hear that your daughter is good at Mathematics. She is average in Physics and chemistry. Considering these parameters, there are many choices for graduation in different fields. But you have to explore the right field as per her choice/interest. some of them are as follows:
(1) Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) i.e. B.Sc. in Mathematics / Physics / Chemistry / Economics
(2) B. Arch.
(3) B. Des.
(4) BBA
(5) Actuarial Science (Best for Math enthusiasts who enjoy solving real-world problems involving finance and risk.)
(6) Data Science / Data Analytics
(7) Chartered Accountancy (CA)
(8) Aviation
(9) Hotel Management / Culinary Arts
(10) Law (Integrated 5-year LLB)
(11) Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA)
(12) Defence (NDA)
From the above options, It would be great to go with UG in LLB and then PG in LLM. There are chances to become Jujdge at an early stage as there are special reservations for female candidates in judiciary posts. When a candidate joins LLB, he gets a lot of extra time to learn extracurricular activities and some relevant courses. This is a very cool and prestigious field. Generally, students ignore it at an early stage.

If you are dissatisfied with the reply, please ask again without hesitation.
If satisfied, please like and follow me.
Thanks.

Dear Mr Pradeep, how does one deal with workplace burnout? A young CA working for EY recently succumbed due to work pressure and no one from the office attended her funeral. Is this normal? What are your thoughts? What should one do in a situation like this? What is your advice to young professionals
Ans: Dear ,

You have raised a valid point which most of the young professionals are passing through. What a paradox in Indian context , at one hand,. public sector companies do have quite liberal working conditions and virtually No direct accountability to push your to the stress level to that high of opting for ending life. whereas in most private or proprietorship companies , right from reaching office in time to achieving the set objectives days after days , months after months keep on increasing. There is limit of tolerance of abusive behaviur or working styles , hence many find ways to move to other comanpies, some quite the job , some move out to other industries . There are many companies , why only talk about EY or IT sector companies ,I can give true exampples of BFSI/NBFCs/Telecom/ Industrial products companies / Real Estate cos/ FMCG/FMCD/Pharma cos where many avoid to opt for even when they are offered high packages , Reason, - High work pressure , abusive work conditions , Job Uncertainity , worst approach of top management . You are treated like slaves .
However taking own life as the CA at EY did was really heartwrenching . More so the approach of the management , After all a young talented girl . lost her life due to work pressure as mentiioned in her notes. To be honest , no one attending funeral from management side is not normal . In most cases some one represents management . May be, due to legal complications, Sr managers avoided attending the funeral . As far as my advice to young professionals is concerned , Be bold , take challenges as part of your life and when you feel . it is crossing your limits , You must expose the truth to top management as many a times , putting so much pressure on young professionals are the handiworks of Line managers or HR manager , which top management might not be aware about . She being a CA should not have any issues in finding another good paying job or even joining any CA firm as Sr manager taxation or in auditing. She should have fought back. You must have seen many army /police /CISF or Bank professionals commit suicide under work pressure which is really painful . One should fight back or find better options available than ending own life.
