Best Career Options after Covid-19 Pandemic

 

Career Options after Covid 19

We are passing through a very tough and unpredictable phase in our life. COVID 19 has changed substantially, the way we live. Many newly emerged burning issues stare at us. In “live with COVID” era, many alternatives will be forced to develop to substitute the old style of functioning of man-machine and knowledge delivery.

Field of education too cannot insulate itself from such alternatives and drastic changes are taking place in the educational field too at a rapid pace. Beyond the top band of institutional excellence with private universities setting best practices, Indian academia has been in need of transformation, long before the onset of the pandemic. There is an opportunity to rethink the traditional education system now.

Digital learning is leading the charge as a mainstay, and many new trends are picking up momentum across the globe. Multidisciplinary and modular pedagogy that afford transferable skills and customized learning will succeed. Post-pandemic times could see a blend of e-learning and mainstream face-to-face teaching with a boost from traditional universities and the ed-tech sector.

This year is beginning with a remarkable change in the education as the most awaited new education policy has been announced by the government of India.  The changes in the new education policy will have long-term impact on how the education is delivered and teaching learning is going to take place in this country.

Apex University recognized the possibility of such changes and stated making changes regularly on the basis of recommendation of UGC and other regulatory bodies. The future changes which are going to take please due to the recent announcement of change in the new education policy will also be incorporated in our system at the earliest.

The best part of the new education policy is that no year is wasted and students will get certificate, diploma or degree depending on when he/she drops out whereas earlier if you are unable to clear even one paper all the years of your study are wasted.

Recently we have already introduced the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) as envisaged by the UGC and provides the opportunity for learning to our students such as ability enhancement courses and giving them an opportunity to take electives from different domain of education.

The aim of the university is to provide our student opportunities to learn and excel in the areas of their choices so that their overall development can place.

Many such emerging areas in addition to what we know i.e.,  Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Mechatronics, Big Data Analysis are listed below in which India can also play important role if we make selective investment and nurture our talent in these areas.

The emerging areas to ponder over are; Bio-plastics could solve a major pollution problem as advanced solvents and enzymes are transforming woody wastes into better biodegradable plastics.

Tiny lenses will enable design of miniature optical devices thin, flat metal lenses could replace bulky glass for manipulating light. A special class of proteins offers promising targets for drugs for cancer, Alzheimer’s  and new possibilities for treating cancer and other ills Smarter fertilizers can reduce environmental contamination new formulations deliver nourishment on demand.

Collaborative telepresence could render distance (relatively) meaningless as participants in virtual gatherings will feel like they are physically together. Advanced food tracking and packaging will save lives and cut waste a combination of two technologies could vastly improve food safety.

Safer nuclear reactors are on the way as resilient fuels and innovative reactors could enable a resurgence of nuclear power. DNA data storage is closer than what we think and life’s information-storage system is being adapted to handle massive amounts of information.

We also need to keep in our mind what Mahatma Gandhi has said;

“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever”
