Medical – A Career endowed with respect


Reasons to choose Medicine as a Career

DOCTORS, in our society, command incredible respect as they save lives of people who, in turn, regard them next to GOD. Many bright students yearn to become doctors every year, with a dream to command this coveted admiration.
Even in this materialistic age, doctors are respected in all walks of life. We observe in our daily life how they are revered as they bring a smile on the faces of millions by saving their lives. Saving lives gives immense gratification as to serve man is to serve God. 
A doctor rejoices every time a patient returns home happily, after being cured of fatal diseases and owe heartfelt gratitude to them eternally. A suffering patient trusts his/her doctor hoping for a new life and when they do recover-they express their gratitude from their heart. This sort of satisfaction cannot be experienced in any other profession.
Choosing a career in medicine with a positive attitude and the intent to serve people will give you immense satisfaction and gratify your soul for saving lives. Those who wish to fulfill their ambition of becoming doctors are most welcome to join the medical fraternity with a resolution to serve the people. 


Career Coach 

Selection of career is one of the most important decisions in life that has the potential to bring radical changes in one's life. Selection of medicine as a career should be done with due deliberation as most of the students do not know the intricate details of this profession. They need to know the finesse and the pros and cons of this profession. 
On being asked about the reason behind pursuing medicine as a career, majority of students assert “Make a difference, impact lives and help people.” Although, these are obvious motivating factors behind pursuing medicine as a career, there are several other factors that one needs to be aware of while analyzing one’s career choices.


Characteristics of a Rewarding Career: 
• Service: Provides you an opportunity to help people 
• Knowledge: An ever-expanding need for earning new skills and information 
• Action: Allows you to be at the forefront in challenging situations, take decisions and make things happen 
• Respect: Your work and contributions are important to individuals and the community 
• Security: Enables you to earn a good living and provides a consistent source of income and secure future

 There are several careers that may offer you the opportunity to help people and make a difference. However, the challenge before you is to find the career, which is right for you in all counts. If you are committed to serving people, give them a new life by relieving them from pain, medicine as a career is the best choice for you. 

Medicine as a profession requires full commitment because you are supposed to serve patients with patience, communicate effectively and listen to their problems, develop relationships, engage in complex problem-solving and learning throughout your lives. Medicine as a career is utmost challenging but financially secure and personally rewarding that gives you eternal gratification—a rare gem of satisfaction.

Frequently Asked Questions related to Medical & Engineering Entrance Exams
Q.1 What is the difference between Board Exams and Entrance Exams?


Q2. I am in class X. I seek a career in Medical/Engineering but I am unable to decide which stream to pick. How do I choose the stream?

 It totally depends on your likes & dislikes. Medical and Engineering as a profession has very bright career prospects. If you are strong in Biology & at the same time feel attracted towards serving the society as a Doctor, go for a career in Medical. On the other hand, if you are strong in Mathematics & have the fire to succeed with new advancements of technology in your professional career, then go for Engineering. Decide early & start preparing in a very strategic manner .

Q3. How will I manage my Board studies & preparation for Medical/Engineering Entrance at the same time?

 Boards preparation is a sub-set of preparation for competitive exams. If you are preparing for competitive exams, your basic concepts have to be thoroughly clear so that you can apply them to various situations. If the basic concepts are clear, Boards are automatically covered. You just need to have a regular practise on the pattern on which Boards Exams are conducted.


Q4. Which books should I follow?

 The Board studies help you to learn, consolidate and practice your concepts of subjects whereas preparation for Medical Entrances/JEE requires rigorous study of the same subject while gathering all possible knowledge of the particular topic and application of the same. You just need to feel confident and work hard under a Mentor who will guide you to success.

Q5. How to prepare for these exams?

 Step - I Learn the basics of all the subjects.

Step - II Consolidate the basics. Practise them.

Step - III Practise the questions of the subjects.

Step - IV Start practising all types of questions with increasing level of difficulty.

Step - V Prepare a strategy to answer maximum questions within a stipulated time period.

Step - VI Start practising on Mock Papers based on the strategy.

Step - VII Practise and change the strategy if required. Above all, guidance from experienced Mentors is required to chase your dream.

Q6. How much time is required to put in per day to get a good rank in NEET/JEE ?

 It varies from person to person. It solely depends on how much time you require to put in every day for the best preparation for an Entrance Test. Apart from regular school studies, you need to put in some extra hours for the preparation which may vary from 4-6 hours per day depending on your grasping ability and level of concentration.

Q7. I can not concentrate on my studies. How to develop concentration during studies?

 Doing one thing at a time.:

 Do one thing at a time with your complete undivided attention in order to develop concentration. If you are thinking about planning studies for your exam - for the next 30 minutes or so, just think of that alone. Do not let your attention wander to other things during this time.

Un-clutter your mind by writing down :

 While doing something important often unrelated worries invade your mind that affects your concentration. The best way to get rid of it is to pen it down with date, time and way you want to deal with the problem. Thus you can unclutter your mind and concentrate at the task at hand.

Be task specific : 

 Before sitting down to study for exams, be clear what chapter you want to study now, how much time do you intend to study etc. Be as specific as possible and move on to some other task only after you complete this.

Break task into smaller parts :

 Breaking a task into smaller parts will make it seem less daunting and help you approach it with more positivity. Make a goal of finishing one chapter at a time.

Engineering – A Career full of Opportunities

April 09, 2020 4

Reasons to choose Engineering as a Career:

A career in engineering has always been one of the most important choice of the dynamic youth of this country. The challenges and the varied explorative opportunities that it offers fascinate the youth beyond any dimension. An Engineer commands respect in society for his/her innovative ideas. A talented and skilled engineer can set-up his own enterprise to achieve financial freedom and also contribute towards the development of society and nation.

To ‘engineer’ literally means to “make things happen”. Engineering is about the design and production of useful products and services. Engineering know-how converts scientific knowledge into technology and then technology into successful innovation. Many seemingly simple aspects of our daily lives have been conceptualised, designed and developed by an engineer.


There are numerous reasons for choosing engineering as a career, listing a few, which are as follows:

Engineers are the architects of society & nation:

The skyrocketing buildings, numerous industrial plants, small and large scale industries are the brain child of engineers. These industries provide employment to a chunk of the population thus contributing to nation development and bridging the employment gap.

Engineers have diverse careers opportunities:

The history of civilisation is the ready reckoner which proves that engineers have diverse career opportunities. Engineers have contributed to their communities, countries, colleagues and civilisations by making tools, machines and countless other things to help people improve their lives apart from making progress by leaps and bounds. The diversity in engineering offers you an array of opportunities ranging from IT to Biomedical Equipment and Mining, from building roads to space travel.

Engineers are in great demand:

Skilled engineers are in great demand across all engineering sectors. Scarcity of skilled technocrats is one of the barriers to business growth and delivery. We need more engineering personnel to build roads, conceptualize climate change projects, modernize our defence force and the list goes on.

Shortage of skilled engineers means job security for the expert ones.

Engineers get to work in innovative jobs:

Innovation and creativity is the integral part of Engineering. So, being an engineer means you get to try out new technologies like artificial hearts, developing environmentally sustainable buildings. Engineers design and build virtual reality worlds, soccer fields or new plants. Engineers discover and patent new materials that may allow us to set up colonies on Mars someday or even develop an AI powered assistant which can take care of all our menial jobs during the day. Engineers are involved in making the future a reality.

Engineers have job opportunities everywhere:

Engineers work everywhere: in cities, regional and rural communities, even remote wilderness areas. Some engineers work in business offices, classrooms, others in factories or research labs; some work outdoors or even in outer space. Some engineers have undertaken double degrees and go into medicine, law, business management, or in policy making. Trained as an Engineer, you have got numerous career opportunities and bright future prospects.



Qualities Required in an Engineering Aspirant:


• Good in Maths and Science.

• Enjoys puzzles, have problem- solving aptitude.

• Invites academic challenges and is a good time manager.

• Is curious and wants to know how things work.

• Wants a career that's interesting and varied.

• Enjoys working with other creative and smart individuals.

• Would like to make a difference in the world.

• Having strong IQ and analytical ability.

• Good communication and presentation skills.

• Ready to learn, unlearn and re-learn.

Post Engineering Careers:

Engineering is the threshold to enter the technical world. A graduate engineer has host of opportunities for higher studies, in research sector as well as in private sector. If a graduate engineer is unwilling to pursue higher studies in engineering, he/she has a lot of opportunities ahead in other sectors also, and can go forward equally to shape their career.


Some of the post engineering career opportunities are given below:

1. Civil Services – Indian Administrative Service (IAS), Indian Police Service (IPS), Indian Engineering Services (IES).

2. Jobs in Public Sector Units (PSU) offering diversified, challenging and stable career options.

3. Research and development.

4. Teaching.

5. Defence Services.

6. Private Sector :

• IT Sector – Google, Facebook, Microsoft

• Metals & Mining – Vedanta, Tata Steel

• Heavy Engineering – L&T, ABB, Alstom


Selection of Right Engineering College:

IITs and NITs are well known for their teaching standards and therefore they are the first choice for students, who wish to pursue engineering. However, every student is not capable of qualifying the tough entrance tests that these institutes conduct to admit students. These students find it challenging to choose a good engineering college.

Here are a few tips about how to choose a good engineering college.

Institute:

The first thing to verify before applying to a particular college is its accreditation and affiliation. In India, National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) holds value for engineering colleges, they need to be approved by University Grants Commission (UGC) and affiliated to Directorate of Technical Education (DTE) and All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE).

Faculty:

Another important factor you need to verify is the faculty profile of the college. You can visit the college website to check their qualification, experience and information about where they have studied. A faculty member who is active in research will normally have a better understanding of the latest developments in the area and therefore be in a position to explain better. The number of faculty members is also important as the faculty to student ratio is an important aspect affecting the quality of education.

Infrastructure:

This is also one of the important factors that students need to check because the environment in the institute also has a huge impact on academic performance. Besides the classrooms, laboratory, library, recreational facilities, canteen etc. can be checked by actually visiting the institute. A fully-residential campus usually provides a better learning environment.

Internships & Placements:

Ultimately, every eye is fixed on placements and internships because career opportunities start right from here. Students can check the record of the companies that visit the institute for campus placements. You can talk to the students to find out details about the number of students getting placed in good companies; the packages being offered to them; the institutes or organisations offering internship and the kind of training they are provided over there.

JEE (Joint Entrance Exam) – In & Out:

JEE (Main):

• A common entrance for admission to all IITs, NITs, DTU, CFTIs etc.

• JEE (Main) consists of 2 papers: Paper-1 is a 3hrs paper on MCQs of Physics, Chemistry and Math. Paper-2 is optional for aspirants of B. Arch and B. Planning.

• The Admission in NITs, IIITs, DTU, CFTIs is completely on the basis of performance in JEE (Main) from 2017 onwards.

• From 2019 and onward, the JEE (Main) will be conducted twice before admissions in the next academic session.

• The examination for all candidates will be conducted in online (computer based) mode only.

• JEE (Main) 2019 will be conducted in multiple sittings and a candidate will have an option of dates to choose from. Scores of different candidates in multiple sittings will also be equated using standardization techniques.

JEE (Advanced):

• Top 2,24,000 students of JEE (Main) are selected to appear in JEE (Advanced) for admission to all IITs and ISM, Dhanbad.

• JEE (Advanced) consists of 2 papers of 3hrs each-both consisting Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.

• Admission to IITs is based on category AIR of JEE (Advanced) subject to the condition that such should have secured at least 75% marks in the 12th Class examination, or candidates are in top 20 percentile of their respective boards in applicable category.

• For SC/ST candidates the qualifying marks would be 65% in the 12th class examination.

• The examinations for all candidates are conducted in online (computer based) mode only.

Question 1.
The principle ‘forgive and forget’, helps a lot in maintaining cordial relations with our neighbors. Do you think Anton Chekov conveys this message in the play ‘The Proposal’ ?
Answer:
Anton Chekov does convey the message that the principle of ‘forgive and forget’ helps a lot in -maintaining cordial relationship with one’s neighbours. Initially, the neighbours in the play, Lomov, Natalya and Chubukov were fighting over petty issues. They were putting important issues behind them and wasting their time by arguing over small things. These arguments slowly developed into fights and they started hurling abuses at one another. This damaged their relationship with each other.
It was when Natalya came to know that Lomov had come to propose her that she left the topic of argument (Oxen Meadows) behind. She also asked for forgiveness from Lomov and requested him to come to the point. Hence it is mandatory to ‘forgive and forget’ if one wants to have cordial relationship with others.
Question 2.
The characters Natalya and Lomov lose their temper on trivial issues. It shows their poor skills at anger management. Suggest some ways that help you in maintaining cordial relationship with people around you.
Answer:
The way in which Lomov and Natalya lost their temper shows that how anger can easily effect a relationship. Thus, it becomes very important to have good anger management skills. Following are a few anger management skills that can be followed in one’s life. These would also help in building healthy relationships.
  1. Always follow the principle of ‘forgive and forget.’
  2. Try to understand the person to whom you are talking.
  3. Be helpful rather than being self-centric.
  4. Always have empathy towards others.
  5. irst listen and then speak.
  6. Be as courteous as possible to everyone.
  7. Don’t have the habit of always complaining about others.
Question 3.
Based on your understanding of the Play ‘The Proposal’ how do you think good relationships can be maintained? Why in today’s time we see so many people going away from each other?
Answer:
The play ‘The Proposal’ teaches us how anger and
arguments can easily ruin a relationship. Thus to maintain a good relationship, it is important to have a control over your anger. Having arguments over unimportant or small issues is extremely harmful and a waste of time. If someone commits a mistake, one should be ready to forgive and forget rather than being angry and arguing with the person endlessly. In today’s time people try to find only the positives in others and do not easily accept their negatives. Hence is becoming extremely difficult to maintain a good and cordial relationship with others.
Question 4.
It is a common observance that more attention is paid to unimportant issues at the cost of important ones. The play ‘The Proposal’ beautifully portrays this fact. Suggest some steps how we can avoid this unhealthy practice.
Answer:
It is true to an extent that people usually give more importance to the unimportant issues forgetting their priorities. Just like how Lomov came to propose Natalya but due to their argument that matter was left unaddressed. Thus, it becomes very important to set your priorities in life. One must ignore the unimportant issues. It is a waste of time to have discussions over them. One ’ should not pay too much attention on the trivialities. This energy can be saved on spending it over some useful and important issues that gives a fruitful result.
Question 5.
Neighbours must have a cordial relationship which Lomov and Natalya do not have. Describe the first fight between them.    [CBSE 2015]
Answer:
Lomov and Natalya meet and rather than proposing her he gets off the point. He tells her how he inherited his land and how he respects her father. He also tells Natalya that his Oxen meadows touch Natalya’s Birchwood. On hearing this, Natalya says that Oxen Meadows are theirs. They start arguing about it. Lomov clarifies that he is talking about the Oxen Meadows that are between her Birchwoods and Burnt marsh. Natalya again insists that they are theirs.
Lomov refuses it. He tells her that his aunt’s grandmother gave those meadows to her father’s grand father. The peasants used the land for forty years and started regarding it as their own. Natalya’s father comes and also starts quarreling with Lomov. They get into a heated argument and resort to name-calling. After some time, Lomov leaves their house.

Long Answer (Value Based) Type Questions [8 Marks each]
Question 1.
What does Nelson Mandela refer to as “an extraordinary human disaster”?
Answer:
Nelson Mandela refers to the apartheid policy of the white race against the black people as “an extraordinary human disaster”. White people snatched freedom from the coloured people of South Africa to whom the country belonged. The black people were subjected to oppression for long. They were not even allowed to discharge their obligations to their own families, community and their country. White people had no compassion for them and oppressed their own people and put them in prison. If they had some freedom, it was curtailed. The black people lived the life of a slave.

Answer:
Mandela always said that the political freedom was the result of sacrifices of thousands of the black people who fought for that. He said that it could not be repaid. He thought himself as the sum of all of those African patriots. He regretted that he could not thank them. He cursed the policy of apartheid that wounded the people of his country, which would take centuries to heal.
He also said that the oppression and brutality of the white people produced great freedom fighters like Oliver Tambo, Walter Sisulu, Luthuli, Dadoo, Fischer, Sobukwe and many more. They were the men of courage, wisdom and large heartedness. They really suffered a lot for the political freedom of the country.
Question 3.
What does Mandela mean to say that the oppressor and the oppressed alike are robbed of their humanity?
Answer:
Mandela is right in saying that the oppressor and the oppressed alike are robbed of their humanity. Both of them are actually the victim of hatred. Everyone is obliged to discharge their duties whether personal or social but without freedom a man cannot do so. The person who snatches this freedom of a man is really an oppressor and a prisoner of hatred. He has lack of humanity. But this is the same with a person who is oppressed by other.
Question 4.
Describe the obligations which the author is talking about and also describe his feelings for them?
Answer:
In the chapter the author has talked about two obligation for every man. The first obligation is towards his family, parents, his wife and children. The second is towards his community and his country. Being a social person one has to fulfil these obligations.
But being a black coloured person in South Africa, a man was not free to perform his obligations and got punished if he tried to do that.
Being a child the author never thought of such obligations but after he did so, he fought for the people and the country to be free and enjoy their freedom of performing their duties personal and social.


Question 5.
Describe the value of freedom for the human beings and how it is important for the growth of civilisation and humanism as described in the lesson ‘Nelson Mandela : Long Walk to Freedom’. [CBSE2014]
Answer:
Everybody whether human or other creatures wants to live free as freedom is natural to all living beings. The value of freedom is better known to that human being who has not tasted it till he gets it. A person who is chained with the limits and not allowed to perform his duties freely, values freedom more than anyone else. For instance the value of freedom is known better to Mandela who remained behind the bars most of his life. Think about a bird or animal which is caged as they have the habit of living with full freedom but in the cage they are not free and their conditions are very pitiable. Similarly, life becomes a hell if we are deprived of freedom. There is no growth of civilisation as it grows only when one has freedom. Similarly, humanism grows in the atmosphere of freedom.
