13 SOME DESIGN RELATED COURSES

 

# Bachelor Programs in Design Field- Science stream graduates who have a flair for designing and fashion

can take up any of these design related branches and build a good career. A list of programs that I found

interesting are-

 

1. Bachelor of Design (Fashion Designing)– A well known course being taught in NIFT (National Institute of

Fashion Technology), this one is a 4 year long course. The program is much sought after by students interested

in designing clothes and apparels. The job prospects are good, when it comes to this particular course. After

mankind by improving its design!

 

14 BACHELOR OF PLANNING

 

 

I don’t know whether any private Institute in India teaches this course or not, but unfortunately, at CEPT (Center

for Environmental Planning and Technology), this course has been temporarily stopped. This has been done

with an aim of re-introducing this course with much more quality study material and course material. The

course will be re-introduced in 2015!

 

 

15 BACHELOR OF INTERIOR DESIGN

 

 

There are many institutes (especially private ones) offering this course. They offer Diploma as well as certificate

courses. But try to get admission into premier institutes like CEPT and choose this course.  

 

16 TEACHING & EDUCATION COURSES

 

Such courses are commonly known and the teachers training course. Usually B.Ed. is the most important

course, when it comes to this category of professional courses. And it can be pursued only after graduation. But

there also exists some teaching related courses, which can be done right after 12th science! They are-

 

B.El.Ed. (Bachelor of Elementary Education, 4 years long course)

Diploma in Elementary Education

B.P.Ed. (Bachelor of Physical Education)

Primary Teachers Training course (can follow it up with B.Ed.)

 

17 PHARM D

 

Pharm D stands for Doctor of Pharmacy. It is a Doctoral Degree program. The course duration is 6 years (5

years long academic program and 1 year long internship program). Like B Pharmacy, Pharm D is another

professional course, which both Mathematics and Biology group students may pursue.

 

18 MANAGEMENT COURSES

 

After 12th Science (Mathematics group), students are also eligible to pursue management education. BBA

(already mentioned) is the most popular choice among students these days. Many undergraduate level

management programs are available (both Degree and Diploma). Here are some well known degree courses-

B.B.A. (Bachelor of Business Administration)

B.M.S. (Bachelor of Management Studies)

Integrated B.B.A. + M.B.A. program (5 years duration)

B.I.B.F. (Bachelor of International Business and Finance)

 

19 DEGREE COURSES FROM OTHER STREAMS

 

Mathematics group students are also eligible to pursue courses from other streams after 12th! Some examples

of such courses are- B.Com., B.A., Management courses etc. While selecting such a course, make sure that it is

a relevant and useful one. Some such courses are-

B.Com. (relevant specialization)

B.A. (relevant specialization)

Bachelor of Social Work

CA (Chartered Accountancy)

CS (Company Secretary Course)

CMA (Certified Management Accountant)

Actuarial Science

Bachelor of Statistics

 

Now, it is time to focus on courses meant for Biology group students. Below listed are the courses that students

who had Physics, Chemistry and Biology as their main subjects in 12th may pursue-

 

COURSES FOR BIOLOGY GROUP STUDENTS (P,C,B SUBJECTS)1 MBBS

 

The most sought after course, in case of Biology group students. The duration of this course is five and a half

years. Academic duration is four and a half years. This is followed by an internship that lasts a year. So,

combining them together, the duration of MBBS program turns out to be 5.5 years!

 

As we all know, becoming a Doctor is not too easy. First of all, getting an MBBS seat in a private or Government

College is a very difficult task. Then, the course is also not too easy!

 

Still, doing MBBS and following it up with PG course will help you build a rewarding career. Healthcare business

is booming and the demand for well qualified Doctors is expected to shoot up in the future. One may get job in

Government or private sectors. Also, opening one’s own Clinic is also a good option!

 

2 BDS

 

BDS stands for Bachelor of Dental Surgery. The course duration is 5 years. Of those 5 years, classroom studies

make up 4 years. 1 year is dedicated towards internship!

 

Getting into MBBS program is too tough. But getting a BDS seat is relatively easy! But at the same time, career

prospects are a bit dim, when compared with MBBS. Still, one may complete BDS, follow it up with PG course

and build a good career.

 

3 B.PHARMACY.

 

Pharmacy course is all about the pharmaceutical sector. It deals with topics such as making medicines,

chemicals involved in making of medicines, uses of medicines etc. This course is 4 years long.

 

After completing B.Pharm., one may follow it up with the Master’s Degree- M.Pharm.! Talking about job

opportunities, Pharmaceutical companies are the prime job providers. One may also get job in hospitals that

hire chemists. Government sector jobs are also available for graduates, such as- in Government hospitals, as an

Officer in the Drugs department etc.

 

Opening one’s own shop is another option! A combination of B.Pharm. and M.Pharm. can also ensure you a job

in Research sector as well as teaching sector!

 

4 B.A.M.S.

 

B.A.M.S. stands for Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery. If you want to become an Ayurveda Doctor,

B.A.M.S. course is for you! The course duration is five and a half years. Four and a half years are dedicated

towards classroom courses and rest 1 year towards internship.

 

In comparison to M.B.B.S. and BDS programs, getting a seat in BAMS program is easier! And talking about

career prospects, the future in this sector is all set to be bright! Take a look at the pace at which Health tourism

has been developing in the recent times. Ayurveda resorts and treatment evidently have played an effective

role in developing health tourism.

 

More and more people are trying out Ayurvedic treatment, thanks to its rising popularity and lack of side

effects! So, it is safe to say that job opportunities will certainly increase with time. One may land job in private

as well as Government sector.

 

5 PHARM.D.

 

Pharm.D. is a unique course! Its name may sound similar to Pharmacy course. But it has got more to it than just

the elements of Pharmacy program!

 

Pharm.D. can be said to be a mixture of B.Pharm., M.Pharm. as well as MBBS! Yes, this course got elements

from all the above mentioned courses!

 

This obviously means that the course duration will be pretty long, thanks to the enormous amount of study

material that it consists of. The course duration is 6 long years!

 

But job opportunities and career prospects are excellent! One may work abroad after doing this course.

Pharm.D. Graduates are valued more in Western Countries than they are valued in India.

 

6 B.SC. NURSING

 

In Healthcare sector, the demand for well trained and qualified nurses is huge! The demand is increasing with

time, but the supply, the number of qualified nurses graduating each year, is not satisfying this demand! In

short, qualified nurses are well valued and are rewarded well for their service!

 

B.Sc. Nursing course is 3 years long. It can be followed up with an M.Sc. Degree. There is a notion that this

course is meant exclusively for girls. But it is not true at all! Male candidates too may pursue it.

 

Ample amounts of jobs are available in both Private as well as Government sectors. Private as well as

Government Hospitals are keen to recruit well qualified nurses!

 

7 B.H.M.S.

 

B.H.M.S. stands for Bachelor of Homeopathic Medicine and Surgery. This course deals with Homeopathic

medicines and procedures in detail. The course duration is five and a half years.

 

What makes this course valuable is the fact that there are still many people who rely on Homeopathic

medication and treatment. So, finding job in Private hospitals won’t be a problem for B.H.M.S. Graduates.

 

8 BACHELOR OF PHYSIOTHERAPY

 

Physiotherapy professionals are well valued in Healthcare sector. They are required to help patients recover

and rehabilitate from muscular injuries and physical injuries through non surgical methods.

 

The course duration is four and a half years. 4 years are dedicated towards classroom studies and practical

lessons. 6 months are dedicated towards internship.

 

Talking about career prospects, after graduation, one may take up job of a physiotherapist in private as well as

Government hospitals. One may also start one’s own venture.
