With so many career choices, finding the right postgraduate educational program to enroll in can be a challenge. However, if its business that you want to pursue then it’s a good idea to enroll yourself in a program that will provide you with requisite knowledge, skills and ethics to fit into the right business community. That being said, an MBA might just be your cup of tea!

What is an MBA?

MBA or Master of Business Administration is a graduate degree that focuses on structural, analytical and ethical applications of business. Students are required to choose a specialization typically in accounts, marketing or entrepreneurship.

Why opt for an MBA?

MBA is primarily for those seeking a shift from their current field(typically into finance and consulting roles) or for progression with an already established career. The MBA curriculum seeks to provide corporations with candidatesof the required managerial skills needed to run them.

Benefits of an MBA

Advancement in Your Career

If your current career path is way too irrelevant for your aptitude and interests, MBA allows you the flexibility to explore your options and provides required training to switch careers. On other hand, if you are satisfied with your current field, a training in master of business administration can facilitate a faster climb to the managerial level within your field.

Be Your Own Boss

If you want to set up your own business, but unsure whether you possess the necessary expertise to launch a start-up, an MBA degree can prepare you to do everything from writing a business plan to acquiring venture capital to launching an IPO.

Ideal for Networking

MBA provides an excellent platform for meeting new people, developing important relationships that will serve you well throughout your business career. The connections that you make are the most valuable aspect of the MBA, so make sure to capitalize on opportunities in and out of the classroom during your MBA studies.

Earn More

Salary packages and job security will always be our top priority when it comes to jobs. Well, its good news for those with an MBA. In comparison to other employees within any establishment, an MBA is usually better and more heavily compensated. 

Post an MBA, you will be like this whole different person with a new outlook towards life and the business world, confidence and professionalism oozing from the very core of your being.

Any discussion you hear around yourself today will always either be about technology or will eventually lead to it. Its almost as if you cannot name human race without naming technology. And the strong supporting cast and crew behind this blockbuster are none other than the developers.

Developer or amateur, we all have some idea about programming languages and how they work. Either we have heard it from our coder friends or at some point during our careers or career building years we ourselves have tried (and failed) to learn the art of programming. However, there are those “chosen” few, who have that in-built flair in the mentioned field and who effortlessly write huge codes without a grumble.

So, to the developers out there, you obviously are aware of basic languages such as C, C++, Java and also some lesser known ones such as Python and Oracle. 

Here’s an ode to the latest programming language: Kotlin

Kotlin is developed by a team from JetBrains programmers, the creators of IntelliJ Java IDE, based in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

Kotlin is an open source, statically-typed programming language that runs on JVM (Java Virtual Machine) and android which combines the features of object oriented and functional programming. 

It’s expressive, crisp and powerful but best of all it is interoperable or back compatible with Java. Meaning, you can use the same Java Libraries and also the program written in Kotlin can be converted to Java and vice versa. JetBrains provides simple but powerful Java to Kotlin converters and can generate Java and JavaScript from Kotlin code. 

Until May 2017, the only supported languages for Android were Java and C++. Adding another feather to its cap is the recent verdict at Google I/O 2017, where Google announced official support for Kotlin on Android. Kotlin aims to bridge the gap of a missing modern language for Android platform.

When it comes to Kotlin vs. Java, the answer is simple. Kotlin codes are safer and more concise than their Java counterparts and since Kotlin and Java can coexist in Android apps, Kotlin is not only useful for new apps but also for updating existing Java apps.

For the experimenting and the curious kind, this is an entire new arena to explore.

As was the case in the 90's, while monetary policy changed and tax reforms were likely to dominate the macroeconomic backdrop for equity markets and common folks, it was believed that technology will continue to be driven by its ability to increase productivity and disrupt the old economy. And as for today, technology is what drives the entire world.

It’s obvious that technology is all science and maths and not everyone will like to grasp what it brings to the world. For that, people with imagination and creativity come forth and bring a new curve to the technology with products and content which amuses mass audience and bridges the world more closely.

In the monochrome life cycle of a student, which mainly is a cycle of eating, sleeping, attending lectures, and repeating, ‘College Fests’ shows a certain degree of fluctuations in the excitement levels of students. Why wouldn’t it? As the festive season slowly marches closer and closer with time, every student can taste the sweet scent of hard work; hard work of not only the students organizing it but the ones striving over their performing arts with incessant practices.

MEDHA is Sangamner’s largest cultural festival hosted by Amrutvahini College of Engineering's (AVCOE). The inauguration ceremony took place on 4th January 2018 in the presence of all the chief guests. The event was coordinated by Prof. G. B. Kale, managed by Prof. V.B. Dhumal and executed by Mr. A.B. Shinde.

What comes to your mind when you hear “tech skills gap”? You think of skills traditionally associated with information technology firms like coding, software development, and network security management. If compared with hard skills, the gap in applied skills reaches across all sectors. This affects everyone from artists to healthcare workers to business professionals.

There’s a huge demand for workers with tech skills and it continues to soar up every day, across all industries. To better understand the problem and its solutions, consider the following five key points and the opportunities that this Tech Skills Gap offers:

1. THE GAP EXISTS ACROSS ALL INDUSTRIES

Tech skills aren't specific just to the technology sector, but it runs across every industry. The main aim of these essential skills includes the ability to use technology to benefit the organization. Many people lack the necessary skills. That's a gap many people don't anticipate, and it's also an amazing opportunity to learn new skills and hone the existing.

2. DEMAND OUTPACES SUPPLY

There are more than 500,000 computing jobs open across the nation, but less than 50,000 students graduated with a computer science background in 2016. And the main hub of the graduated ones was IT alone. And this is the same issue with other fields, such as healthcare and business.

A survey conducted amongst the industrial hub showed:

• 62% of students coming out of school aren't prepared with the necessary tech skills
• 11% agree that school is effective in meeting skill need
• Three out of four employers feel that finding an employee with all job description requirements is rare

3. EDUCATORS MUST CREATE SOLUTIONS

Educators, institutions and industry advisers need to work together to create curriculums that meet today's demands. It's not only on the shoulders of employers and employees. This will likely include the movement toward an "anytime, anywhere" educational model to bring online and onsite opportunities together.

4. STUDENTS AND EMPLOYEES MUST TAKE INITIATIVE

As more and more business require workers with applied tech and latest hard skills, the present generation is tasked to keep up with the flow to avoid falling into that gap. Advancing technology doesn't allow anyone to become contented. For those who see the gap as an opportunity, it's a great time to learn new skills and sharpen existing ones.

We at Amrutvahini College of Engineering (AVCOE), provide a distinctive excellence driven engineering education that will groom future generations of engineers and entrepreneurs. We aim to create self-disciplined, physically fit, mentally robust and morally strong engineers and technocrats with a high degree of integrity and sense of purpose. We open a new window, “window of innovation” where we put technology at the core of our field and help our students to build that ‘tech gap’ which will help them to challenge the ever-advancing technology.

We take immense joy and pleasure in announcing the arrival of Amrutvahini College of Engineering's mega cultural fest: "MEDHA 2018". MEDHA, one of the biggest cultural festivals of Sangamner conducted every year, is consisting of an array of events this time; providing the students a platform to showcase their extraordinary talents.
