Published On: December 20, 2021 Interviews can be nerve-wracking for many of us, especially if you are a fresh graduate. With not much experience, the very thought of attending a job interview with a major company can be pretty intimidating. An excellent solution to overcome this challenge is to keep the mind calm, composed and alert. It is natural to be a little stressed and tense. However, it is essential to have self-belief and possess a positive frame of mind, and the answers to the questions will go smoothly if one keeps a calm mind.
With the Covid pandemic, most interviews are conducted online as organisations have moved digital. This interview mode has its advantages; namely, the ambience is not new and not much body language can be visible. However, there can be no compromise on preparation for the interview.
Research about the organisation: Before you sit for an interview, it is of utmost importance to do basic research on the organisation you have applied for. Apart from practising to articulate resume and experience, it is essential to know about your employer and the organisation. Research to determine whether your values match or align well with the organisation. Lookup for the vision, mission and strategies stated in public documents like Annual Report, Investors’ presentation, filings with regulators. Get to know the details about the company’s performance against its set objectives and the people policies, training & development and key personnel. Role of departments as narrated in the above documents. This primary research will help answer why you want to apply for this organisation and likely prospects. In addition, one can answer queries like “What do you know about our organisation?”.
Prepare yourself for standard interview questions: Being a fresher, the interviewers usually put the interviewee at ease to get the honest and best response. Whilst brushing up the academics and projects accomplished is a must, one must also be clear and forthright in answering any tough questions. It will be helpful to prepare and practice mock interviews at home. Brushing up your fundamentals is indispensable. Preparing well to answer questions such as1)Tell us about yourself?2)What is your best at (skills/talents)? 3) Why do you want to work for the organisation? 4) What is a life goal? 5) where do you see yourself ten years from now? It is crucial to prepare oneself thoroughly to answer them confidently.
Reach early to the location: Being present early for the interview is of utmost importance. Being late or providing reasons for being late (even if genuine) provides a wrong impression in the interviewer’s eyes; therefore, keeping in mind all reasons for getting late (traffic, non-availability of transport, rain etc.), it is always advisable to start early and reach before time.
Clear speech and Body language: Communication skills and answering questions are essential in an interview. One must be attentive, answer honestly, avoid distractions, be precise in speech and expression. Where required, support with data or quote the sources of information (which will also bring forth how much you are keeping abreast of matters specific to the industry and general knowledge.) In addition, it is crucial to maintain eye contact, dress correctly and have proper body language during an interview.
Interest in the organisation: There are plenty of methods to show a candidate is interested in working for a company. One vital way to exhibit is by asking questions about the company, its work culture and vision, at the end of the interview when you are allowed to ask questions about the company. This helps in gaining an understanding of the company and its culture.You can start by finding out information from their website, listing questions that interest you, and asking during the interview.Begin by going through its website to find the maximum relevant information about the organisation.Once you know the information mentioned publicly, start making a list of questions you want to ask the interviewer. Again, be specific about each question and try including the things that can bring more clarification to you.For instance, if you see that the company invests heavily in the learning and development of its people, you can ask more about the programs they offer.
Share your experience: One of the common questions asked by the interviewer relates to understanding the attitudes, work ethics, psychological outlook and response to challenging situationsto help them figure out the fit of the candidate with the company’s culture. From your end, tell the interviewer you will be an excellent fit for the organisation and would be willing to world hard and give in your 100%. Share your strength and other qualities. As a result, it becomes easier to advance in an interview.
Maintain Positivity:Whatever be the outcome, always start and end the interview on a positive note. Thank the interviewer for their time. It should begin once you enter the organisation, be polite with the receptionist and whoever you meet as word spreads, and it could affect the final decision.
It is essential for the candidate to be positive and exude to interviewers through polite and composed, self-confident articulation. For example, being courteous and interacting with people is vital. It is also important to be effective in communication. For instance, it is better to confirm the message wherever not understood by rephrasing in your own words and seeking confirmation before answering based on incorrect assumptions.
Whatever may be the outcome, thoroughly prepare for the interview and be confident. Stay calm and confident while answering the questions. Try to keep in touch with your interviewer by sending them a thanking message or telling them how valuable the interview round was. Especially stay driven when you know you have been shortlisted for the next round.

Published On: August 13, 2021 COVID-19 has taken a huge toll on the Indian economy. The size of the economy (read, GDP) shrank from $2.87 trillion in 2019-20 to $2.66 trillion in 2020-21. GDP growth also slowed from around 4 per cent in 2019 to -8 per cent in 2020. Starting from a low base, this year initially the economy was expected to grow at 9 per cent but data got revised downward, and the economy is now expected to grow at 6 per cent.
The wider implication of this slow growth is going to fall on income generation and income distribution. Smaller number of job opportunities are getting created. Society is also becoming more unequal; the super-rich are becoming richer and everyone else poorer. The ballooning wealth of people like Gautam Adani and Mukesh Ambani is a testimony to that fact.
But how much an event such as COVID-19 is to be blamed? In economic parlance, a shock created by pandemic is treated as exogenous, which is outside the control of any policymakers. What if such an event were not to happen? How would things unfold? Not much, considering the big elephant in the room, which is: technology.
Consider this. An important component for getting a job is to be productive. There are two ways to become productive. First, our labourers are producing outputs which no other countries in the world does. Then people will buy our products and India will continue to create better paid jobs. Unfortunately, this is not the case with India.
The second option is to produce goods and services which are cheaper, so that the world will buy from us. Here also we are not doing great, either. We are losing big time to China (in terms of producing goods at a cheaper price) and the US in terms of producing goods which are innovative.
India’s labour productivity – economic output per hour of work – is just 15 per cent of the US levels. And in the world export markets, the Chinese are far ahead in comparison to India.
India’s economy is being hit by a technology bug and that is more worrisome than anything else. A closer look at the data suggests that in India, gross fixed capital formation is falling. Growth in capital formation has fallen from a high of 17.5 per cent during 2004-2008 to a lowly 5.1 per cent during 2019 (pre-COVID) and to -12 per cent in 2020.
Although COVID-19 played spoilsport, an important reason for the fall in value of investment has to do with lower input costs. Technology has made sure that inputs come at a cheaper price. This has reduced the cost of private investment, and the growth of gross fixed capital formation.
Jobs were not getting created like the way it happened during the last century. During the last century, technology was complementing India’s workforce by making it more productive. Electricity, combustible engines and refrigeration aided economic growth through a more productive labour force.
Unfortunately, things are now different. In this age of big data analytics, machine and deep learning, machines are increasingly taking over jobs performed by humans. With technology changing at a rapid pace, no one knows where jobs of the future are coming from and what do they look like.
US regulators have already approved smart pills that send highly accurate diagnostic information from inside the patient’s body to doctors via Bluetooth. Computing power of a mobile handset is already equal to that of the human brain. Tesla has recently announced bringing out engineless electric car that cost only $35,000.This may change the entire dynamics of the automobile industry. A significant societal dislocation is waiting to happen with robotics taking control of the assembly line in production.
In agriculture, where majority of the Indians earn their livelihood from, it is extensive rather than intensive. Indian farmers grow crops using more land, labour and animal inputs, rather than using technology. For a long period of time, output per hectare, a common measure of agriculture productivity, remained low in India. For example, in potato farming, the productivity of an Indian farmer is less than half of that of the US, Germany and Netherlands. In case of rice, it is less than half of that of the US and Egypt, and for wheat, it is less than half of that of the UK and Egypt.
The problem is aggravated as 83 per cent of the farmers in India who are marginal and small farmers (someone with less than 2 hectare of landholding) do not have the wherewithal to understand technology. Reforming agriculture sector cannot happen without embracing technology.
With nearly 50 per cent of the Indian population still earning their livelihood from the agriculture sector, a lower productive and a low technology intensive agriculture sector means a lower per-capita income for Indians.
To enhance productivity here is a need to create skills, and the universities are also not doing great jobs either. Starting 2010, there has been a 50 per cent increase in the number of private universities, and at present there are around 1000 of them. However, the curriculum taught in most of these universities are stuck in the past, with little relevance to modern industry with a focus on technology. Hence, fewer jobs are getting created, with less few graduates having the ability to execute.
Daily, less than 2 per cent of the Indians who apply for jobs get them. Presently, India (like elsewhere, in the world) is slowly transforming into a gig economy where the labour market is increasingly characterised by the prevalence of short-term contracts or freelance work as opposed to permanent jobs. Most of these jobs are low paid, exacerbating the already widening income inequality.
This year, the unemployment rate in India shot up to 8 per cent, with an employment figures at 398 million in 2020-21, in comparison to 404 million in 2019-20. The only way to create more employment opportunities (also, better paid jobs) is to embrace technology and impart necessary skills for our younger generations.
Technology, which is the key to raising productivity is here to stay. As much as 90 per cent of increases in per-capita income come from technological innovation. The government has to look for a strategy that will make technology inclusive.
Published On: August 12, 2021 The percentage of adults having bank account ownership is an important indicator to understand the financial penetration in an economy. The access to the financial world will help the individuals of an economy to transact and manage money through savings, investments, making payments, and borrowing which would further enhance their financial well-being. Access to the bank account is the first step in this process but to ensure that the needs are met, it is vital to improve the financial literacy and at the same time reduce the inequality that persists and strategically expand the activities of financial inclusion.
Globally, there is a rise in financial inclusion. As per the World Bank’s Global Findex database 2017, over 80% of the adult population in India have bank account ownership and the rest 20% are unbanked. Among the 80% of the banked population in India, the inequality gap persists. However, the data reveals that there is a drastic decline in the inequality gaps of the bank account ownerships in India.
Adult men have a higher percentage of bank account ownership compared to adult women. The gender inequality gap has shrunk in India from 18% in the year 2011 to 6% as of
Adults among the richest 60% of the population have higher percentage of bank account ownership compared to the adults among the poorest 40% of the population. The income inequality gap between rich and the poor in India has reduced from 14% in the year 2011 to 5% as of
Adults in the labor force have a higher percentage of bank account ownership compared to the adults out of the labor force. The labor force inequality gap has reduced from 18% in the year 2011 to 9% in the year
Older adults (Age >=25) have a higher percentage of financial account ownership than the Young adults (Age between 15-24). The age inequality gap has increased from 11% in the year 2011 to 14% in the year 2014 and then declined to 12% as of
Adults with secondary education or more have a higher percentage of bank account ownership than adults with primary education or less. The education inequality gap has reduced from 28% in the year 2011 to 10% in the year
Cheers to the Government of India, an increase in the bank account ownership and decline in the inequality gaps has become possible because of the focused financial education and financial inclusion initiatives. The likelihood of banking the unbanked and further decline in the inequality gaps in India is higher in the future report of Global Findex database due to the recent financial inclusion initiatives such as National Strategy for Financial Education (NSFE) 2020-2025 , Pradhan Mantri Jan-Dhan Yojana (PMJDY), social security schemes viz. Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (PMJJBY), Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY), Atal Pension Yojana (APY), Pradhan Mantri Kisan Maan Dhan Yojana (PM-KMY), Pradhan Mantri Shram Yogi Maan Dhan Yojana (PM-SYM) and Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana (PMMY) that are trying to bring the excluded sections into the financial mainstream.
In the face of the challenges due to COVID-19 pandemic, ensuring effective implementation of the financial inclusion initiatives, monitoring and expanding the reach of the financial education initiatives, and deeper penetration of mobile and internet access should be the key areas of focus for the regulators and the Government of India.

Published On: November 19, 2020 India has been consistently securing a lower rank while participating in the Programme for International Student Assessment, a test conducted by the OECD secretariat. This test looks at the aptitude of students in discerning various practical problems. Getting lower ranks reflects the poor quality of the education system prevalent in India. Why are Indian students not able to cope up?
There are three ways of looking at this. First, Indian students aren’t smart, despite having access to quality teachers. Second, Indian students are actually smart, but because of want of access to quality education they aren’t able to perform well. There is also a third possibility: There are both quality education institutes, and smart students in India. However, these smart students prefer to explore options outside India — for jobs, or for pursuing higher education — leaving the poorer quality students in India.
From the demand side, quality education translates into graduates who are employable and have adequate skills to deliver the needs of corporate India. Be it doctors, engineers, or even MBA graduates, there is a dearth of quality professionals in India. This is precisely why every year corporates like Infosys (service), ITC (manufactured consumer items), Apollo (medical), and L&T (engineering), to name a few, are left with vacant seats, or prefer to recruit people with foreign degrees, rather than employ graduates from India. Yes, there are quality education institutes such as IITs, IIMs, AIIMS, etc. in India. However, the pass-outs from these institutes are either too few in number, or decide to go abroad for higher studies, or even take up work there.
From the supply side, quality of education would have to be seen in terms of contribution to research and development. This means — education institutes serving as an incubator for developing new technologies that can be of use to the entrepreneurs, to produce goods and services more efficiently. This becomes evident from the number of patents, and research articles, published from universities and colleges. Although there has been an increase in the number of patents applied and research articles published from India, it is far less compared with the more advanced economies.
It is to be noted, per-capita income of any country can be increased either by increase in labour force participation and/or because of technological breakthroughs. The growth performance of the newly industrialised economies in Asia, such as Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, is typically driven by designing curriculum, so that more people can be employed. This model of increasing growth by producing more employable graduates, implies that growth has taken place through increase in labour force participation. On the other hand, the growth process in the West is attributed to technological innovation.
India faces a dearth of both quality teachers and quality education institutes. At a time when deans of Indian origin at Ivy league business schools in the US are making national headlines, in India, the newly-opened IIMs and IITs are scouting for professors. In fact, these newly-opened institutes survive by hiring visiting professors from other institutes and universities in India.
A majority of the quality students regard education as they would any other commodity. Pursuing quality education comes with a cost. For example, many MBA students who take bank loans look at education as a return on their investment, that is, the jobs they are likely to get once they get their degree. In that way, most education institutes, especially the MBA ones, have now been transformed into sophisticated placement agencies. If the institutes cannot secure jobs, they are likely to get fewer students.
The preference for IITs and IIMs derives from the fact that the perceived returns from education in these institutes are highest here. Corporates come to IIMs and IITs, not by taking into consideration the patents and research articles published, but by being persuaded that the rigorous screening procedure in these institutes are assurance enough that quality students get in.
During a slowdown, the second-tier institutes provide more value for money for students and corporates. No matter what the business school teaches, the corporates have their own induction programme. During a slowdown, a corporate can hire students at a lower cost, compared with what it would have to offer to tier-1 graduates. Hence, in recent times, some of the IIMs faced difficulties, while second-rung business schools were able to achieve 100 per cent placement.
The other smaller group of quality students who are indeed passionate about pursuing, and not consuming education, typically leaves for the US, Australia or Western Europe, to pursue higher education. Recent evidence also suggests that because of want of adequate seats in medical colleges, students are actually going to the erstwhile Soviet Union, and even learning medicine in their local languages. Net result: India still loses out in terms of brain drain, because of adequate quality education facilities at home.
Government regulation in higher education hinders supply of quality education. It is all-pervading, whether in terms of determining fees to be charged, or foreign collaboration. When it requires around Rs. 6 lakh per year to produce an engineer, and anything between Rs. 10-12 lakh per year to produce a doctor, asking a private institute to charge state-determined fees is unreasonable. In this fashion, the privately funded universities cannot survive, leaving aside, hiring quality teachers.
What is however do-able is asking the privately-run institutes to give scholarships to the needy, meritorious students. In fact, most of the successful universities in the US are privately-run. Most of the business schools in China are thriving, and provide a better education because of their collaboration with Universities in the US and Canada — something that isn’t possible in India. To open any private institute, no-objection certificates need to be taken from multiple sources, such as the State government, State universities, and government regulatory bodies (for example, UGC, AICTE, etc.), instead of having a single-window clearance mechanism in place.
The government will do better by putting a grievance redressal mechanism in place, where the universities can be tried, or their license cancelled in the event of false promises. In the event of healthy competition, bogus education institutes won’t be able to survive. So, let the students decide. Hopefully, this will add to supply of quality education institutes, human capital, and help to sustain India’s growth.

Imparted by a number of the world’s top-ranked institutions, online learning offers you all the perks of attending your dream university, from a remote (and safe/secure) location. Thanks to the rapid advancement of technology, online learning is a part of course offerings by many universities around the globe and a preferred option in the current pandemic scenario. From certifications, Ph.D.s, to impactful online learning and everything in between, learning online has never been so easy.
Advances in technology now allow students to learn and study entirely online while still socializing with classmates, watching lectures and participating in subject-specific discussions. With courses available in almost every subject, and versatile time-tables to suit almost every geography, students are increasingly getting attuned to online learning as a viable alternative to on-campus study.
The tutors during online classes take care and ensure that their students receive an equivalent level of support that they get on campus.
Aspects and Resources of Online Learning
While taking an online learning program, the students will be officially registered with the respective institution and will have the access to all and equivalent resources as on-campus students, like the institution’s digital library, learning management system (like Blackboard), building membership, etc.
The respective institute and course instructor determine the format for every individual course and select the delivery methods that are best suited for the respective course or program. The resources offered for learning online will depend upon the institution where the students will be taking their online program.
For the institutions that have made the transition to using 100% online resources, students can expect to learn using the technological resources with no difficulty in attending the lectures, exams or in-person discussion sessions.
Online learning could also be a totally new experience for the students who may come from traditional learning backgrounds.
While taking the online lectures, you would be able to access the following resources associated with online learning:
E-Books, Journals, and Textbooks –
These materials are essential resources in almost every course the students take when learning online. Using the reading list for every course, or on the recommendation of course instructor, the students will need to allocate quantity of their time for reading and understanding the topics within the literature. The advantage of using this medium (particularly eBooks) is that they are completely portable, and will allow the students to review on the go from their computer, phone or tablet.
Recorded online lectures –
Lectures work as a staple of online and campus-based learning, an essential way of absorbing an amount of data during a relatively short time period. With online learning, the students can attend the lectures from their bedroom or where ever they want to.
Interactive sessions –
The greatest challenge an online learning provider faces is the way to replicate the face-to-face interaction and in-person discussions that on-campus institutions can easily provide. Online degree programs often use a mixture of forums and interactive question-and-answer sessions (Q&A) to offer students the interaction with other students and instructors they would like to get in contact with.
Points to remember while using resources of Online Learning
When you are researching a course or program, remember to see whether your textbooks are included in your tuition fees. Check if you will need to pay extra for your textbooks, or they will be available as eBooks in the institution’s digital library.
If you can, try making notes throughout your online lectures. This will make it easier for you during the exams and will be helpful in any assignments you will need to finish throughout your course.
Before beginning an online discussion forum or interactive session, make sure you read the principles and requirements.
How online learning works?
The course or module’s learning resources are going to be delivered via the institution’s online learning platform. Online students often think that their learning resources are going to be delivered via email. Most online institutions are moving far away from this unreliable method of delivery.
The training platform will vary counting on the software used, but it will usually contain a central online platform that students can access from their personal PC, mobile or tablet. As an online student, they will prefer to access the course information and complete their assignments at any time. One of the main benefits of utilizing resources that are hosted entirely online is flexibility. This will help the students to study even while concentrating on other commitments, conveniently as precious time is saved when there is no commute involved. This also means that the students who wish to continue working while studying do not need to put their careers on hold.
Students taking a course online will still be tested at regular intervals throughout their study period to assess their understanding of the course materials. The assessment will be done through the following measures:
• Individual Assignments These are probably the starting point of assessment that students will have the foremost experience with. For every assignment, the students will receive a topic, deadline and word count. They will be required to submit an assignment structured as per the guidelines set by their course instructor.
• Discussions An online academic discussion requires a special set of skills, and won’t come as naturally when you first start your online learning journey. The discussion activities may differ as per institutions, but the discussions generally start off with an issue or topic for debate. Students need to research the subject and post their responses demonstrating their own knowledge and understanding.
• Journal activities Like discussion activities, journal activities tend to be specific to online courses. A journal entry is an update on what the students have learned, and how they will use the respective learning in their future. Online learning doesn’t happen in classrooms, and journal entries are straightforward ways for course instructors to know the progress of the students within the right areas.
• Exams Although they will be nerve-wracking, the institutions may prefer to allow students to finish their exams on their own computers, at whichever location they like. Because tutors do not have any access to oversee the students performing during a virtual exam or test, the exams are typically open-book. Some institutions may use exam software or tools to watch if the students visit other websites while performing the test on their computers.
Online learning and Employment Once you get an in-depth understanding of how your qualifications earned online are recognized in your country, abroad, and in the area of interest, you will be ready to plan how you will present your online learning experience to employers. In fact, many employers now recognize that studying online (and also part-time) takes an outsized amount of dedication and commitment. The statistics show that around 33% of school students are taking a minimum of one course online, over and above their normal syllabus. This increased participation will naturally cause increased recognition of online learning beyond the classroom. Furthermore, there’s a 71% expected increase in online enrolments overall.
