An MBA degree holds value only when we learn and implement the skills practically. MBA is one such degree which teaches us real life skills which can be implemented in any field we opt for in the future course of the career. Let’s have a look at some of the skills: 1.      Leadership skills: During the course, there are many instances when one has to showcase their teamwork and also lead the team. Working on group assignments, presentations etc., teaches us how to manage different mindset of people and how to convince them to work for one goal. 2.      Technical skills: Again, MBA courses focus on technology driven methods for smooth functioning of the business. And this is when technical skills come into picture. Using business software and other tools helps us excel in the skill for future benefits. 3.      Risk Management: any business big or small involves risk at some point and to deal with such risks,...

Stress is simply a reaction to a stimulus that disturbs our physical or mental equilibrium. In other words, it’s an omnipresent part of life. A stressful event can trigger the “fight-or-flight” response, causing hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol to surge through the body. College students face a host of stresses. University-level homework may be more challenging than anything you’ve ever faced before, and final exams can bring a whole new meaning to the term ‘crunch time.’ The difficulties also don’t typically end with academics. Romance and social lives can be as much a source of anxiety as they are of fun, and many students struggle to stay on top of the newfound freedoms of living away from home, from cooking to laundry to managing a budget.

For every hour of lecture per week, you should set aside 2-3 hours to study outside of classroom. While studyin...

Leading schools round the globe are rapidly inculcating STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education in primary curriculum. The reason behind this is pretty simple. STEM fields have the prospect of a lucrative career. STEM careers also provide an average yearly income which is higher than most other fields. Robotics is a fun and effective way to introduce STEM education to primary school students. Subjects like mathematics and science are generally taught to elementary school and middle-school students in a theoretical manner. Let’s go through some ways to make STEM education entertaining through the application of robotics. Educational robotics consist of a set of learning activities that support as well as strengthen specific domains of knowledge cum skills related to STEM in students via creation, design, operation and assembly of robots. Students in primary schools generally learn STEM subjects in a procedure-oriented manner. Students may find STE...

The key finding in a recent study that even top schools in major cities in India suffer from the entrenched tendency to impart rote learning may have some shock value to those who believe that private educational institutions place greater emphasis on quality and holistic education. However, for those closely observing the school education scenario, it is a re-affirmation of a bitter truth: schools in our country are, by and large, quite far from seeing education as a process of learning with understanding, acquiring knowledge through self-discovery and conceptualization; rather education remains a mere transmission of information in a rigid classroom atmosphere, where the emphasis is on memorization and the objective is to rush through a per-determined syllabus and prepare children for examinations. While on the scholastic side the WIPRO-Educational Initiatives ‘Quality Education Study,’ which covered 89 schools, shows a fall in learning standards among st...
