studied at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani

If you have completed your MSc in Chemistry and are wondering about your career prospects, there are several things to consider.

Firstly, it is important to note that merely having an MSc degree does not guarantee a job. You need to have relevant skills, experience, and knowledge to land a job in the field of chemistry. Therefore, it is important to keep your expectations realistic.

One of the possible career paths after an MSc in Chemistry is to become a faculty member at a coaching institute in Kota. However, this may not be a viable option for everyone, and there may be other options available depending on your specific interests and skill sets.

If you are passionate about chemistry and want to further your education, you can consider pursuing a Ph.D. at a good college. A Ph.D. can provide you with specialized knowledge and expertise in a specific area of chemistry and can open up opportunities for a career in research or academia.

Some other career options for MSc Chemistry graduates include:

  • Chemical research and development: There are various industries, such as pharmaceuticals, food, and consumer goods, that require chemical research and development to create new products or improve existing ones. You can work as a research scientist in such industries or in research organizations.
  • Quality control and analysis: Chemical analysis is essential in industries such as manufacturing and pharmaceuticals. You can work as a quality control chemist or analytical chemist in such industries.
  • Environmental chemistry: There is a growing demand for professionals who can work towards sustainable development and environmental conservation. You can work in the field of environmental chemistry and help in developing new technologies to reduce pollution and manage waste.

In conclusion, while an MSc in Chemistry may not guarantee a job, there are various career options available depending on your interests and skill sets. It is important to explore different avenues and make an informed decision about your career path.

Which one is better correspondence course MA psychology from from IGNOU or MSc Psychology from University of Madras?

RD
Ritabhari Dasgupta Posted On : July 13th, 2022
MA in Counseling Psychology (college major) & Counseling Psychology, Shreemati Nathibai

IGNOU is better recognized for distance courses. So, pursuing a correspondence course in MA Psychology will be better. However, if possible try to do a regular course in counseling, clinical or industrial psychology. Psychology is practical oriented subject, and you will need to do dissertations, practicals, and internships as a part of coursework. Being a practical-based course, the career outcomes of correspondence degrees in Psychology are somewhat limited.

What is the best preparation strategy for the JBIMS MSc finance interview?

AM
Aniket Mridha Posted On : February 28th, 2023
PGDM in Finance, Welingkar Institute of Management Development and Research (Graduated 2019)

If you have a non-finance background, it is recommended that you begin your preparation for the JBIMS MSc finance interview at least 4-5 months prior to your interview for the MSc Finance course. You must be sure about your interest in finance, as M.Sc Finance is a very core course. If you have a finance background, you are expected to have a deeper understanding of the points mentioned below. Along with knowing the "whats", you must also know the "whys". In terms of preparation, it is important for you to:

  • Be well-informed about the current market scenario and keep track of SENSEX, NIFTY, gold pricing, INR/USD, and oil pricing.
  • Have a good understanding of the current Indian economy, including its GDP, inflation, and the factors that impact it.
  • Stay updated with the RBI rates, including Repo, Reverse Repo, CRR, and SLR, and know their meanings.
  • Be aware of the current global scenario, such as Demonetisation, BREXIT, and Trump.
  • Consider the question "Why MSc Finance?" as the first and foremost point of focus in your preparation, even if you have a good academic background. You may still be asked why you chose MSc in Finance over an MBA or PGDM.
  • If you have work experience, you must be familiar with your work and its impact on business.

By being thorough with all of these above-mentioned points, you will be well-prepared for the MSc Finance interview.

Should I opt for an M. Sc. Math course in BITS Pilani?

TS
Trina Saha Posted On : July 22nd, 2021
Studied at Delhi University (2019)

You are perhaps going for one of the most difficult streams of M.Sc, which is, of course, Maths. Few of my friends are studying there and as they have mentioned, by the time you reach your third year, one of the subjects in Maths would have a good number of theorems.

The next thing you would have is coordinate geometry as a part of your Maths 1. This would come in handy while solving double/triple integrations.

However, this is still the base of things. It gets complicated ahead- although, not sure if that would be in the third year essentially. Perhaps for better clarity, you should try and reach out to someone who is actually doing his/her M.Sc from BITS Pilani

  • Now, when it comes to application and coding Mathematics, the wisest combination to opt for is M.Sc Maths along with CS.
  • By the time you become a pro at coding, these math concepts wherein you studied geometry might come in handy for the applications that you would use.
  • Try and sustain a CGPA of 8+, if you are genuinely serious about carrying along with CS as a second subject option.

My friends mentioned that students who are carrying along two degrees at the same time have CS as their ultimate aim. There were a few friends of mine who with a double degree, either ended up slogging into semesters, achieved CS with hardly any effort, and eventually, some of them had to choose chemical/civil out of sheer compulsion.

What are the questions asked in an interview for an integrated PhD (maths) at IISc Bangalore?

MS
Monika Saha Posted On : July 18th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore

One of my friends appeared for the integrated Ph.D. Math at IISc Bangalore and shared her experience of the same. A total of 72 students had been shortlisted for the interview and her interview took place on the last day. As she entered the room, they asked for her introduction and her interest to which she told them it was analysis. She was asked the following questions

  • Construct a differential function satisfying the following conditions, f(1)=f(-1)=o; f(0)=1, and f(x) is zero everywhere except (-1, 1)
  • Group theory question wherein they gave her an order of the group and asked to check the elements of some order

The entire interview was based on the above questions which my friend was not able to answer most of the time and thus did not get selected. However, she learned a lot from that interview and summed the entire experience in these points

  • She learned a new problem-solving approach that requires breaking the problem into small cases.
  • The panelists here are very friendly and you can even postpone your interview till the last day if you are not comfortable.
  • The questions asked to a candidate are never repeated for other candidates. 

So, overall the experience was very knowledgeable and I hope it's so for you too.

The written test for MS Mechanical has 3 major topics to choose from: Design; Thermal; and Manufacturing.

The section you chose has to be necessarily the same for both written and interview. There are a total of 12 questions in the written test - 10 questions from chosen section and 2 questions from Maths.

Every question carries equal marks (2 marks). Usually, 8 questions are numerical based while the rest 4 are theoretical. Numerical questions were based on engineering topics like SOM, Tom, and Mechanics while theoretical questions were highly conceptual. One has to answer around 8-9 questions to get shortlisted for the interview 

Once the shortlisted candidates' list is released, you are required to go for document verification. You will be informed of your interview date as well. You might be asked to bring a copy of your first-year project along with you and will be asked questions related to it. 

Once summoned, you will be asked to select 3 different projects out of 3 different specializations. (Thermal/design/manufacturing) for the MS course. You will be asked basic questions from the topic you have prepared beforehand and sometimes additional mathematics questions are also asked. 

Overall, the interview is not as difficult as it seems and enough preparation will get you through.
