Q: I have completed my BE(E&C) in 2009 with 53% and I am unsure whether I will get a job in MNC. What should I do to get a job in an MNC?
Alex Puthukeril, Calicut
A: We consider that a Masters Degree is important for an individual to grow in an organization. You can, at this stage, choose between 2 options. Either you can take up a job and work for 1-2 years. This will give you a perspective on jobs in the E&C segment. And then you can do a post graduation later. Or you may study further in the Technical side (like a Masters) or do an MBA. The choice of any of these routes depends on your career aspirations.
Q: I completed my B.Tech but still have to clear 3 papers, for which my exams are later this year only in April 2010. Can I write any Public Service Exams 2010?
Ashita Rawal, Mumbai
A: Yes, you may give the entrance exam if you clear your back papers before the main examination. But you have to submit your degree certificate/provisional certificate before the main examination if you clear preliminary. The photocopy of a certificate has to attach with the main application. It is in the month of August. So, you have to get your provisional/course completion certificate before main application.
