It is for the State Government to ensure that the admission process is conducted in transparent manner, merit-based and to work out planning and coordination in this direction. State Government cannot escape its liability. There was undue delay in admission process during last five years. Admission process if conducted in time would relieve thousands of parents and students from mental stress and physical pain, prevent wastage of money and time. It is also very much needed that moderate fees are charged from students-parents of the State. In spite of directions issued by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India, Student Redressal Cell has not been constituted by the State Government though there are number of grievances during the last five years and students-parents are not being ensured justice in spite of their genuine complaints. Admission process for engineering and pharmacy has been made online since 2009-2010 in Gujarat. Even after introduction of online admission system, the problems faced by parents and students of Gujarat and wastage of time and money have not yet been redressed and delay takes place for admission. 1. HOW TO SHAPE YOUR CAREER ?

This is a humble effort by Gujarat Pradesh Congress Committee to make available this Career Information and Guide consecutively for the seventh year free of cost to the students of Gujarat eyeing at their future. It is indeed matter of great concern for us that in this age of competition, student of Gujarat succeed in carving his bright career and contribute to the dignity of Gujarat and nation. The Key to Success : “Winners don’t do different thing, they do things differently.” Every student, during his life as a student, has to first face challenge of success with the best performance in examination of Standard XII – H.S.C. Thereafter, he has to follow this order during rest of study and career life. There are seven (7) tricks like seven colors of rainbow for the student, young candidate dealing with these various phases considering as to how get success, what strategy to be followed etc. These seven factors are – (1) Knowledge : There is a saying – ‘Knowledge is power’. 21st century is called to be a ‘knowledge century’. Knowledge acquired through scientific or systematic method is foundation of success. One can just pass out by drudgery or strenuous labour, but cannot get highly succeed. Study has to be undertaken with scientific approach and not by cramming. Don’t get perplexed by any question asked from whatever corner of the book. Changes are inevitable to adjust yourself with changing time. It needs proper planning of study and its effective implementation. Time management is essential and that is the reason why this technique is called skill of ‘knowledge acquisition’. (2) Vision-Dream : A ‘dream’ without ‘vision’ is nothing less than futile exercise. There must be some goal or mission to be followed e.g. I will definitely score a certain percentage in examination of Std.10 or any other exam. Late Rajeev Gandhi, visionary of 21st Century always used to say, “I am young, I too have a dream.” There is no substitute for hard work in proper direction. You cannot get result by just praying everyday, it should also be complimented with vision and hard work. Adopt positive approach always. (3) Training : Knowledge can be acquired through books, dialogues, symposium and audio visual media. Any person, be it a student, can attain his goal without proper training or coaching. He needs to have practice, exercise. Revision is also very important. There is a saying, ‘Practice makes a man perfect’. In examinations, only the practice in addition to what is learnt in classroom can be helpful. This is the century of information. In this age, only notebooks or blackboards are not adequate, you need to use computer, CD, laptop, mobile, internet at the ease and availability, for coaching purpose which ensures updation of knowledge. Self-coaching makes available up to date information of respective field of the person. Environment at home and home education also helps a lot. (4) Power : All human beings are gifted with various kinds of power. Youth – student is the inexhaustible resource of energy and power. Ordinary batter or cell is not sufficient for climbing the steps towards success. It is quite obvious that professional or experts of any filed such as doctor, engineer, administrator, professor or any expert of his field and industrialist need to have some sort of extra-ordinary energy compared to any other ordinary person. This specially is distinguished by us as attacking, killing instinct or power. This power can be developed through strong will power and mental strength. This is the factor which stimulates a person continuously towards his goal. More the desire to realize dreams, more the success you will get. (5) Confidence : Mere confidence helps to win half the battle or success. Important factor to get success is the self-confidence. Success always remain at distance unless youth is not confident in his preparation,

AT THRESHOLD OF CAREER (What after Standard-12 ?) • 1 his skill and his presentation. ‘You create your confidence’. All those succeed in getting ranked in Board examinations or getting selected in interviews are always confident about their higher percentage of success. ‘Ham Honge Kamyaab’ is the anthem of winners. Self-confidence is a ‘seed’, a foundation. Self-confidence generates power to bring together all the qualities that are needed for success. In spite of highly efficient skill and wisdom, many students miss the goal in Board examinations or facing interviews. (6) Concentration : The key to unmatched success remains in engrossment. ‘Concentrate your mind and physics’. One has to master the skill to concentrate the physics and mind; he has to be focused for success. Be it interview for job or examination of Board, purposeful concentration always ensure success. Somebody else would step up the ladder of success if we take casual approach to face come what may. Concentration of mind and physic is inevitable in the age of cutthroat competition to stay ahead of others. One has to maintain the ‘stamina’, you cant keep yourself sluggish. (7) Dedication : Have you ever met personally and successful doctor, engineer or a businessman? Did you notice any difference between an ordinary person and such VIP person? You should make an attempt. The main ‘plus point’ or quality of such person occupying higher pedestal is the total dedication of such person for his field. They are highly dedicated; such person is engrossed with his goal. We have to overlook all the happiness-unhappiness and hardships to dedicate with physics and mind. We have to pay no heed to the temptations. Just follow the dream and goal. 100% dedication can only ensure 100% success. It should be the mantra of every student that, - ‘Dedication to the study, learning, research is the key to attain desired success’. Career and success Every student, youth or a person has golden dream for his career. Students of Board and University are enthusiastic about their degree, higher rank or percentile. He is impatient to shape the best career by applying properly 7 tricks to succeed. One has to think when career doesn’t mould in proper path in spite of qualities of knowledge, training, energy, vision, confidence, concentration and dedication; find out what is lacking, where you are wrong? In such circumstances, one has to use ‘master key’ in addition to all the keys. This ‘master key’ needs to be applied to get rid of evils of laziness, inferiority complex, negativity, irregularity, celebrations etc. and than only one can succeed. Support from the family, society is also essential for successful career. Ask five questions to yourself before deciding about your career :- (1) What kind of work I like ? (2) What is specialty I have ? (3) What is the subject of my choice ? (4) Which is the area specific of your knowledge ? (5) Which is the faculty in demand in the market ? The answer to these five questions would lead to proper direction for your career. Another important thing is that, it would be the best if you are able to divert your hobby into your profession. To be successful in life, remember two important aspects :- (1) Work with quality, (2) Work in quantity. Your work will be of superior quality if you turn your passion into your profession and in spite of attending work in quantity, you will never get tired of it and that would be the reason to your success. Keeping a watch over demand of present and the future would also help you to shape your career and most importantly, develop yourself in a manner to create demand of yourself in the market. (1) After result of Std. 12 is declared, submit application forms wherever there is probability to have admission so that you can buy some time to think properly and keep every opportunity open. Don’t get afraid to go away for studies.

AT THRESHOLD OF CAREER (What after Standard-12 ?) • 2 (2) Think very carefully before joining any classes of private computer or information technology institutes with big banners (which are not affiliated with any Indian University). (3) Information be obtained without fail about Government recognition to the institution where you intend to get admission. (4) Doctor and engineer are not the only two best career options. In this era, there are various other disciplines and career avenues are open which are more lucrative than doctor and engineer so far as earning is concerned. (5) Select the career after discussing seriously with experts and parents, but decide yourself. (6) It is also essential to consider about opportunities of employment in the career or filed you select as also about the future. (7) Avoid to follow the approach of adopting particular course only because a friend has opted for the same. Similarly, never take wrong decisions under influence or pressure from anybody. (8) Also consider other factors like infrastructure facilities available at the institute where you desire to get admission, expenditure to be incurred during the course, your capability of hard work and passion etc. Which certificates to be kept ready for filling admission forms ? (1) Mark sheet of S.S.C. (Standard 10) (2) Certificate of attempts made for passing S.S.C. (Standard 10) (3) Mark sheet of Standard 11 issued by the school. (4) Mark sheet of H.S.C.

There are mainly two types of video editing – first is ‘Linear Editing’ or ‘tape to tape editing’ and the other is ‘non-linear editing’. Non-linear editing is also known as ‘digital video editing’. In linear editing, required scenes or sequences are copied from one tape to another tape and thereafter, process of editing takes place thereon. Of course, while doing so, picture quality gets deteriorated. This is a traditional technique and almost at the verge of extinction. In non-linear editing process, movie shoot on digital video mode is being captured on the hard disk of a computer in digital format and thereafter, using any particular video editing software the video editing takes place by adding various special effects to make it more effective. If you wish to be Video Editor, consider first which type of editing you should learn? Linear editing technology is at the verge of extinction and now its use is limited to the place where it is already being used. However, now, the digital video editing system is replacing this technology since compared to the linear editing system, this digital video editing system is fast, economical and simple. Those who wish to build career as Video Editor must master art of digital video editing only. Since this course covers both the technologies, both these techniques are being educated at Gujarat Vidyapith, however, need of the hour emphasize more on non-linear editing system. Work of Video Editor : Video Editor looks after ‘post production’ work after the video shooting is over and that is why, many a times the Video Editor is also called ‘Production Assistant’. Video cassette shoot (raw material) is known as footage where there can be scenes in excess of requirement as also there can be retakes due to any error or mistake. All these scenes are not for display. Thus, video editor analyze the footage of shooting and delete unnecessary scenes as per requirement of script or as per need of producer or director.

Opportunities are increasing for job for the candidates of Diploma in Automobile Engineering. Due to globalization and liberal economic policies, many multinational automobile giants have established their manufacturing units in India hence great demand for talented and skilled, young Automobile Engineer has increased in manifold. Prospects of self-employment : In automobile industry, person having knowledge of repairing is called ‘person having handy skill’. He who can identify fault of vehicle, can earn handsome amount within few moments. In this sector, you can establish your self-employment with meager investment, as a mechanic. By managing little more investment, you can start self-employment by setting up units for wheel balancing, wheel alignment, gas kit fitting, car air-conditioning, accessory manufacturing and marketing etc. So as to claim insurance for damage caused due to any accident, certificate of a Surveyor is essential hence independent profession as a Surveyor or Loss Assessor can also be started with insurance company. Similarly, profession as Auto Advisor, Driving School or RTO Agent can also be started. After completing Diploma in Automobile and gaining little experience as a mechanic, profitable business of automobile show-room with franchise of a reputed automobile brand can also be started. 6.10 Transportation and Automobile Design Transportation in India is mostly technology driven. In automobile designs, adequate attention has not been paid on important factors like consumer needs, energy saving, cultural sensitivity and environment friendliness.

TUITION FEE WAIVER (TFW) SCHEME A scheme of Government of India for waiver of tuition fee in all the courses of self-financed Engineering/Pharmacy colleges of India Talented students, due to weak economic background of their families and higher fees norms for engineering, pharmacy and technical courses, we diverting to other courses. Government of India, lead by Congress party, has made arrangement for 5% seats of self- financed engineering and pharmacy institutes for meritorious students from economically weak families and physically handicapped. This scheme will be applicable to the children whose parent’s family income is less than Rs.4.50 lakhs per annum. For this purpose, income certificate is to be obtained from Collector Office in case of urban areas and from Taluka Development Officer/Mamlatdar in case of rural areas. (Certificate issued by Sarpanch, Talati or Form No.16 in case of Government employee is not admissible). This scheme of Government of India has benefited 4,400 engineering students and 700 pharmacy students. In Gujarat, there are two categories of colleges – Government and Self-financed. Annual fee payable for Government colleges is Rs.1500/- as a token fee whereas in Self-financed institutes, the annual fee varies from Rs.40,000/- to Rs.65,000/-. The students getting admission in SFI have to make payment of the fees as prescribed by such institutes. With a view to ensure that the talented students hailing from financially weak families too can get admission to SFIs, a scheme of Tuition Fee Waiver on 5% seats of total seats of college, is introduced by AICTE. The college joining this TFW scheme has been allowed admission to 63 students against 60 sanctioned seats, without any additional staff or additional conditions. They should not charge fees from 3 additional students. Thus, the colleges opting for this scheme gets 5% more seats. Under this scheme, the qualified candidates are being granted admission on merit basis to those 5% seats in engineering and pharmacy colleges without charging any fee. College does not suffer any financial loss due to this TFW scheme as they are allowed to fill 5% seats in access to the number of seats sanctioned to them. Due to non-implementation of this Tuition Fee Waiver scheme by Government of Gujarat in time, students of Gujarat were deprived of this benefit for two years. This scheme has not been made effective by the Joint Admission Committee for Professional Courses and this has been made part of application form itself. However, due to lack of adequate information on this scheme, many eligible students are deprived of benefit of this scheme. This scheme not only provide an opportunity to the needy students to pursue higher studies without payment of any fees, but it means 5% increase in total number of seats which facilitates admission to 5% more students every year. It is expected from the State Government that this scheme be publicized more for ensuring benefit of the scheme for students of Gujarat.

Various competitive exams are being conducted by the UPSC for recruitment to the posts of Inspector, Clerk, Supervisor etc. for the Government of India departments like Railway, Income Tax, Revenue, Account-Audit, Customs and Central Excise etc. and of the State Governments. However, for recruitment of Administrative Officer in all these departments, the test of the tests – i.e. toughest examination amongst all the exams in India is the Civil Services Examination which we call as IAS exam. By clearing this examination, one can achieve dignified positions in various service cadres like Indian Administrative Service (IAS), Indian Police Service (IPS), Indian Foreign Service (IFS), Indian Revenue Service (IRS), Indian Information Service (IIS). It is pertinent to note that it was late Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel who played a key role for starting such an exam. Why to start preparing for IAS exam while studying in college ? In North Indian States, candidates start preparations for IAS exam while they are in Standard- 10. At the time of their graduation, they are equally busy with reading, discussions etc. for civil services examination so as to succeed in civil service examination after graduation. In several Universities of Delhi, number of young boys and girls come with ambition to become IAS and burning midnight oil for preparations of IAS exams. There are good study materials also available here for preparation and they have environment for preparation for this exam. This the reason why Delhi is called Kashi for IAS aspirants. Format of written examination and planned preparations….. Civil Service examination is mainly divided into two stages – (1)Preliminary test and (2) Main Examination. (1) Preliminary test for selection of candidates for main examination is an objective-type test. (2) Main exam (written and oral). In Preliminary Examination, multi-choice objective type questions are there wherein question paper of Aptitude Test is for 200 marks and question paper of General Knowledge is of 200 marks. Thus, preliminary examination is for 400 marks. Preliminary examination is just a screening test. The marks obtained in the examination are not considered for merit list preparation. The main object of preliminary examination is to examine standard of the candidate. For writing main exam, passing the preliminary test is a must. Main examination is divided in two stages – (1) Written test and (2)Interview (oral test). For written examination, there are 9 question papers containing descriptive type questions. The candidates who have scored marks as stipulated by the UPSC, are called for the personal interviews. Accordingly, suppose recruitment is to be made of 500 candidates, the number of candidates being called for personal interview are 1000 to 1500. Out of 9 descriptive type question papers, the candidate has to just qualify in papers of Indian language and English language. Interview (oral test) is for 300 marks. Final Merit list of successful candidates is being prepared by summing up marks obtained by the candidates in written test and personal interview. The candidates appearing in this merit list are allocated, in order of their seniority in merit list, to different services.
