eing the second largest host country for outbound student
Bmobility, India has the highest growth rate of ‘study abroad’
aspirants in the world. However, the reason for
India being one of the biggest sources for outbound students is the
increasing unemployment of graduates. According to a study conducted
by Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE), there are more than
30 million unemployed Indians who are seeking jobs. India, which has
rd
the world’s 3 largest education system with 1800 colleges, 13 nationally
acclaimed institutes, and 600 universities, however has made the
admission process to these institutions competitive and complicated.
The acclaimed foreign degree, excellent research opportunities and global
exposure are some of the reasons for more number of students preferring
to study abroad. Unlike before when students were only pinned down to
the borders of India, today studying abroad is no longer a dream. Students
all over the country are now being encouraged to dream big and there are
instructors and educators who help these students to achieve their dreams.
The consultancies with expert educators are today the navigators of the
students’ dream. These consultants have made the study- abroad process
work for everyone. Scholarships, which have opened a whole new level
of opportunities of the aspiring students has encouraged them to choose
any course in any country. The consultants and the educators are updated
with every detail regarding the scholarships. Helping students
successfully enrol into a college with a scholarship from a company,
institute or government organisation has encouraged them to study
abroad.
Visa was one such factor which again created confusion amongst students
on whether they should choose to study overseas. However, the coaching
institutions all over the country have taken care of any hurdles related to
visa too. Skilled professionals and visa experts are always alert and get
their students through the visa-process successfully. Every process of the
study-abroad is now made hustle free. Starting from helping students
choose a subject, a college at par with their capabilities, elaborating their
future prospects, the students are supervised by the expert educators.
Given all the conditions, the students tend to move out of their home
country. Providing them the world stage and preparing them to be the
leaders, such consultancies offer them a world to conquer and achieve. T R

8. he Internet has changed everything that we do, perceive and consume. Not only has the
Tinternet changed the lives but it is the gateway to information. Today, any kind of
data/information is just a few clicks away. This drift and massive flow of information
have enlightened mankind of the opportunities lying ahead of them. While the educational sector
was to adapt to these changes at the last, once these alterations were embraced, there has been a
reformatory change in the educational sector too.
Prophet Mohamed’s quote, “Opportunities slide way like clouds”, explains how real
opportunities are the building blocks towards a successful life. It is because of these chances that
the students, educators, mentors and people all over the globe are eagerly seizing any openings.
To succeed in the future, one starts planning right from his or her school days. Once the
schooling is completed and the student has sorted out the ‘specific major’, the real task begins
which is choosing a college. Students today can experience a seamless academic campus across
the globe. As a result, there is now a major change in the situation of Indian students. Once
restricted to the colleges on the boundaries of India, the students today have numerous choices
ahead of them.
Realizing that sky is the limit, the students are courageously dreaming big. To support such
dreams and help them achieve it, few experienced groups of educators have come forward to
offer their skilful advocacy. Keeping in mind about this distinctive line of expertise we have
introduced this issue named as, “India’s 10 Best Overseas Education Institute in 2018”.
On the cover of the edition we have, Inspirus Education: Creating a Dream Pathway through
Conclusive Coaching. This consultancy one of the finest and the leading the way in helping
students identify and prepare to become alumni of some of the world’s best universities. The
team Inspirus believes that success is when the students find the perfect match of subject choices,
university and campus environment.
This does not end here; along with it we have featured other institutes who offer their brilliant
advocacy to students and help them achieve their dream. Espire Education, Globule Overseas
Study Consultants, One Window Overseas Education Pvt. Ltd, and SIEC Education Pvt.

12. There is chatter about creating a
global village impact in every
diplomatic enclave. And so
the academic corridors specifically for
higher education, are certainly creating
a seamless campus across the globe.
For students from India, the choices
are no longer limited to the
Universities in their home state or
those pined across the length and
breadth of India. The world is quite
literally their playground and most
begin weaving their future dreams
around these new realities fairly early
in their school life.
Supporting these dreams in today’s
universe is the unlimited access to
information; simplified processes;
improved financial support systems
and most critically a well aware and
experienced network of education
allied services dedicated to providing
counselling and coaching support to
young students.
Inspirus Education is an institute that
is leading the way in helping students
identify and prepare to become alumni
of some of the world’s best
universities. With a strong footprint of
over 2 decades (formerly known as
KIC Education), Inspirus has a unique
test-prep module defined on the basis
of an in-depth understanding of
international teaching-learning patterns
and academic standards.
While helping candidates prepare for
GRE/GMAT/SAT/TOEFL/ IELTS, the
institute believes success is not simply
in achieving an admit. Success for
team Inspirus is when students find the
perfect match of subject choices,
university and campus environment.
With a strong belief in their moto
“Children matter. Their dreams, goals
and future matter more”, the institute
focuses on working with each child at
their own individual pace.

13. unique. Inspirus counsellors recognize
and respect this reality. Through an
individualized counselling programme,
the team aims to get each students’
SWOT analysis in the primary stage
itself. This helps students and parents
make an informed decision about both
subject selection and targeted
universities, at an early stage. With
their focus being student centric,
Inspirus team helps students find the
right fit in terms of subjects and
universities.
The counseling process is designed
such, that students are able to build up
confidence and improve their
conversational skills, days before they
are ready to pack their bags.
Participation is encouraged for various
programmes that prepare them to
understand life beyond the classrooms.
From academic to socio-cultural
variations counselors at Inspirus
engage with students on a one on one
basis. Regular interactions of over 6-7
weeks, students are familiarised with
all aspects of the country of their
choice. Each candidate is encouraged
to discuss and question student alumni
from Inspirus, currently studying in
universities across the globe.
Present in the prime suburban centres
of Andheri, Bandra and Ghatkopar,
Inspirus has well equipped, dedicated,
spacious classrooms, that offer students
a quiet environment to focus on
learning. Backed by a well-qualified
and experienced faculty is always an
advantage for an institute. At Inspirus,
the faculty is not just made of subject
experts but also of teachers willing to
go way beyond their brief to help each
child achieve optimum success.
The institute ensures counsellors,
teachers and mentors remain in tandem
with the dynamic changes occurring
across industry corridors and impacting
teaching patterns as well as options in
academic centres. Says Bakhtawar
Krishnan, Director Inspirus Education,
“We want our students to come out as
confident, positive and progressive
members of the society, who are in a
position to maximize their learning via
this unique opportunity of cultural and
academic exchange”.
An Ambitious Leader and Astute
Observer
“Ambition is the first step to success.
The second step is action”
For Bakhtawar Krishnan, Inspirus
Education is not an enterprise, it is a
passion and a long standing personal
dream realized. A successful banker for
over 2 decades, Inspirus was not a
challenge. It was in fact, an
opportunity to shape an institute that
would play a critical role in defining
the shape of tomorrow. Moving into
the space in 2013, Bakhtawar steered
the institute towards becoming a
student-first centre. Helming the
Institutes unique coaching-mentoring
methodology, she put the spotlight on
enabling students to recognize their
core strengths and build critical
life-skills along with understanding
subject concepts over competitive
successes.
A keen observer, Bakhtawar visits
International universities on a regular
basis and remains actively engaged
with academicians and students across
institutes in India and abroad. Her
astute understanding of corporate
interests and their impact on curricula,
have built the foundations of Inspirus.
The institute reflects Bakhtawar’s
vision. Each student that Inspirus
grooms for an international campus is
like an ambassador from India and she
ensures her team continues to work
with the students even after the
finalization of their admits. Guidance
on legal matters and financial planning
advise are just small steps that she
encourages her team to support parents
with.
Promising Career and Academic
Walkway
Inspirus is not an institute that prepares
students for a career prospect in the
direct sense of the word. However,
they are a critical cog in the wheel; in
fact their role is pertinent in setting the
direction of the career the child might
opt for in the years to come.
“As such the focus at Inspirus has been
to spend time with each individual
student to understand their
motivations, inspirations, strengths and
weaknesses, and at times even the
family influences before guiding them
towards subject selection and
eventually university selection”, asserts
Bakhtawar.
Being independent counsellors, this
institute is not obliged to focus on any

14. University. They remain loyal to their
principles of keeping student interest
foremost. As such students are
recommended to interact with the
counsellors well in advance. Through
in-depth engagement with students and
their parents the team understands
individual goals and formulates a
customized plan.
Success, at Inspirus, is measured in
student happiness and achievement of
individual goals. Some of the brightest
minds of this institute are leaving their
footprints in University of Texas
(Austin), Purdue University, California
School of Arts, University of
California (San Diego), University of
California (Los Angeles) and John
Hopkins University to name just a few.
Glorious Achievements
Inspirus has placed over 6000 students
from all over India, in prestigious
institutes of Higher Education, across
the globe. Some of the highlights of
Inspirus over the years are:
• 5% of the students are placed in
TOP 10 university
• 25% of the students are placed in
TOP 30 Universities
• 60% of the students are placed in
TOP 100 Universities

one student securing the absolute score
of 340/340 – for the first time in
India.

18. SAFETY
OF STUDENTS IN PHILIPPINES
The Rising Tiger’ in Asia, Philippines is expected to continue its economic growth by welcoming world
tourists and international students. Its impressive growth proves its safety however there are always few
concerns that should be addressed when you travel to a foreign land. Especially when parents are
deciding to send their children to Philippines for further studies, SAFETY is one of their biggest concerns.
An initiative taken by a student to study abroad does not just show something about his/her academic
achievements but also about his/her personal ambition and determination. However, when they land for the first
time to this new land without a family member they tend to have mixed emotions full of nervousness and
excitement.
An international student always searches for home away from home and it comes only with safety satisfaction.
Philippines is a safe country and a lovely place to visit but when you travel in any part of the world, you should
be aware of your surroundings. You cannot have your passports and IDs and credit cards with you all the time.
Whether it is Mumbai, New York, Moscow, Mombasa, Shanghai or Sydney pick pockets can be anywhere.
Every year thousands of Indians are taking admission in MBBS Philippines. There are social networking groups
and local groups for Indian expat communities in Philippines. When it comes to Philippines local Filipino
people are also considered most warm, friendly, happy and helping. Locals treat foreigners and especially
international students with lot of warmth. Most locals speak English and hence communicating with them
becomes very easy. In no time, Indian student in Philippines starts feeling like home.
Moreover, the expanding presence of Indian businesses and growing domestic tourist inflows make them feel at
home. No racism or hatred incidents have been reported in last few years unlike some of the other western
countries.
Most of the Universities are in safe areas, but it is always advisable that parents talk about safety to their
children before their international journey. There is no need to scare them but of course they should have a brief
idea and should be made conscious to take care of their purses when walking in a crowded area. There are some
locations within the country in which it is considered not so safe zone for foreigners so to know that and avoid
visiting those places is a wise step. Beware of strangers offering drinks or confectionery. They may be spiked.

25. Music can change the world
because it can change
people.” says Bono, an Irish
musician.
There are numerous professions in the
world. To get into these various
professions, people of different age,
gender, financial background, literacy
levels, and time zones work to satisfy
their basic needs and sometimes even
wants. All these people are totally
different from each other as everyone
has a different lifestyle. The one thing
which is common among all the people
across globe is music.
Music is one thing which never
changes and goes beyond boundaries.
It is one such medium which can
communicate even over the barbed
wires. No matter what the state of mind
is music can always accompany one.
Be it the times of joy, or in the times of
grief, music always heals and makes
the flow with its exotic waves. People
prefer listening to music from various
genres like folk, jazz, rock, pop,
electronic and many more. In order to
enjoy such variety of music, musicians
need to create it by taking lots of
efforts and practice. Singers,
composers, songwriters, producers,
musical instrument players like
guitarist, drummer, pianist, are
individuals from various walks of life
who choose music as their professional
careers. Apart from these, there are
many other career options in the music
industry which many would have not
heard of.
Music Journalism
Journalism involves an extensive
amount of research which is followed
by writing daily news or stories,
reviewing articles, events, and
interviewing various personalities from
their respective fields. Similarly, music
journalists are individuals who carry
out research on various events and
happenings of the music industry.
Writing articles and reviews about new
music releases and live performances
is another prime task in this profession.
Music journalists get to interview
various musicians, renowned artists
and also people involved behind the
music development process. They have
the freedom to work as freelancers or
can even be employed by print,
broadcast, or online media
organizations. This career is most
suitable for people who love music and
also have the passion for reporting. As
far as education is concerned,
Staffordshire University at
Staffordshire, England, The University
of Texas at Austin, Berklee College of
Music and Mumbai University are
some well-known universities that
offer various courses in music
journalism. These courses can help an
individual in criticizing music with
certain amount of authority. Instead of
a program in music journalism, a
course in English, Communications or
Journalism may also be useful.
Audio Engineering
It is also referred to as sound,
recording, or vocal engineering. The
job of an audio engineer is a technical
one as it revolves around the
instruments, equipment and machinery
used in a recording studio. This
machinery is used to record, mix,
synchronize, or reproduce music,
voices, or sound effects for the
production of movies, music
recordings, live shows, or video games.
Audio engineers have high
employment opportunities in radio

and much more. Individuals aspiring to be an audio engineer may come from backgrounds such as physics, computer science,
acoustics, electrical engineering, or electronics. Lawrence Technological University in Michigan, SAE Institute located in
The Netherlands and Soundtech Media Institute of Chennai provide the necessary programs in audio engineering.
Music Therapy
As interesting and unique as the term sounds, music therapy is the process in which music is used for the physical,
physiological, mental, and social
well-being of individuals. A therapy is carried out by listening to music, singing, or playing a musical instrument depending
upon the complexity of problems faced by an individual. It is a proven fact that listening to music and musical instruments
soothes the body and mind. When trained therapists apply this phenomenon in hospitals, rehabilitation centres, schools, and
nursing homes, it helps them in the treatment of wide array of problems like depression, anxiety, hypertension, and many
other concerns. Music helps in dealing with not just the stressful situations at workplaces but also the various issues in
day-to-day life. The right knowledge about music and a background in medicine or biology are necessary to create a career in
this field. The Arizona State University located in Temple, Arizona offers a bachelor’s degree course in music therapy.
Cruise Ship Musician
A Cruise Ship consists of a wide variety of musicians like pianist, drummer, musical director, sidemen, and band leader.
Being on one ship for around four to six months, these musicians get to not only entertain the entire crowd but also meet
many new people from all around the world. In order to keep the crowd engaged with their music, they face many challenges
by playing the best music they can which gives them many chances to practice. This increases their competency and also
helps them to earn a living by doing what they love the most. Cruise ship musicians can earn hefty amounts of money and
also have almost nothing to spend upon as their travel, accommodation and food are looked after. They do not have to worry
about laundry, cleaning, grocery, rent, or electricity bills while working on a ship. Which musician would not love to live
such a life where one gets to follow their passion and travel the world for free? Moreover, apart from knowing every bit about
the instrument they play, they do not require any other educational qualifications. Therefore, this career is for the ones who
are carefree or wanderers. Along
with the recreational cruise, this
sector offers numerous careers in
navy ships too.
Music can be played, sung, heard,
written, or even mixed. In today’s
world where retro music is
recreated and remixed, there is
tremendous amount of scope in
opting music as a career option.
An individual who loves writing
can be a songwriter or music
journalist. One can apply one’s
skills in the healthcare sector by
turning into a music therapist.
Basically there are innumerable
options to choose from in the
music industry. And, all one
needs to pursue such a career is a
passion towards music. T R

universities finding themselves in a

typically granted on the basis of
academic, artistic, athletic or other
extracurricular based superiority.
• Need-Based: Main eligibility
criteria for Need-Based Scholarship
are financial assistance. Student
groups who originate from
monetarily less fortunate
backgrounds may be eligible for
such study abroad scholarships.
Although academic profiles may be
considered, the primary concern
and decision making process is
based on the monetary well-being
of the student’s family.
• Student-Specific: These study
overseas scholarships are largely
granted to students with distinct
characteristics that could range
from race, gender, religion or even
medical issues.
• Career-Specific: Certain areas of
study often come under financial
aid provision to address supply
shortages and the generic longer
term outlook for careers stemming
from those areas. Hence, students
pursuing listed skill shortage areas
may gain substantial financial
assistance from various institutions.
• College-Specific: Most institutions
have certain core competencies that
form the foundation for their
research, education delivery and
reputation. These scholarship
opportunities are highly competitive
and are awarded on the basis of
various factors including academic,
personal achievements,
extra-curricular activities, overall
profiles, etc.

30. What is the current scenario
of education system in India?
India holds an imperative place in the worldwide
education industry. The nation has more than
1.5million schools with more than 260 million students
enrolled and around 751 universities and 35,539 colleges.
India has one of the biggest advanced education
frameworks on the planet.
Notwithstanding, there is still a ton of potential, for
facilitate improvement in the education framework.
The education sector in India is ready to witness significant
development in the years to come as India will have world’s
biggest tertiary-age populace and second biggest graduate
ability pipeline internationally before the finishing of the
year 2020. The education market in India is right now
esteemed at US$ 100 billion and is relied upon to almost
twofold to US$ 180 billion by 2020.
The aggregate sum of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)
inflow into the education sector in India remained at US$
1.67 billion from April 2000 to December 2017, as
indicated by information discharged by Department Of
Industrial Policy and Promotion(DIPP).
The education and training sector in India has seen some
significant speculations and improvements in the ongoing
past. Some of them are:
i. The Indian Institute Of Technology, Delhi has been
positioned 145 in the Global University Employability
Ranking 2017, in view of hiring by top organizations.
ii. India has consented to a credit arrangement with World
Bank under ‘Skill Acquisition and Knowledge
Awareness for Livelihood Promotion’ (SANKALP)
project to upgrade institutional systems for skills
development.
iii. Singapore will open its first skill development centre
in Assam, which will provide vocational training to
youth in the locale.
iv. Dabur India Ltd. has opened a skill development
centre for ladies in Dhekidol village in the province of
Assam that will furnish rustic ladies with enhanced
work and independent work openings.
In this modern era, India advances privatization of
education. Therefore, one who can pay more will show
signs of improvement in education when contrasted with
regular individuals. For instance, Indian education
framework in rustic regions has a major issue of awful
nature of educators. Primary schools, secondary schools,
colleges and universities recruit teaching staff which aren’t
all that great contrasted with different nation’s education
standards. In India, a student is measured with his or her
academic grades. Laboratory experiments, practical
assignments are a part of the curriculum but they don’t have
much value in the education. Talent cannot be measured by
grades so we need to have a different measurement system
which can measure talent, skills and hidden potential within
the students. It is a specific issue with Indian engineer
community; they pass out from all sort of stream like
petrochemical, mechanical, electrical, civil and so on and
wind up working in different profiles and sectors. Thus this
effects other industries and applicants who have to suffer.
There are ceaseless issues in display of education
framework in India. There is no enchantment recipe for
education system anyplace on the planet. There are
constantly great and awful things in the framework. We just
can’t duplicate glue the western education culture and
utilize it in India.

activity – ‘Kaushal Bharat, Kushal Bharat’. Under this
initiative, the government has set itself an objective of

34. U.S, Among the Most
‘Sought-After’ Study Destination for
Engineering
Every year there is a new trend emerging in the education sector. Among all other professional courses, engineering is
the one which is misunderstood by people. Certain people still believe that engineering is all about servicing cars,
fixing washing machines or even driving trains. The actual question hence to be raised should be what is
engineering? Putting it in a simple way an engineer is one who can design and create useful ‘stuff’. Engineering is a vast and
a global subject, and hence there are immense things an engineer can do in order to better the society. The recent
advancements due to technology have introduced a new world of possibilities for an engineer. The only limitations placed
here are one’s imaginations. With the passing time we can notice that engineering, as a course has not lost its gleam. A large
number of students are still enrolling for this course due to the new promising opportunities. Students, who choose to pursue
a career in engineering, are more confused about choosing the right college to get enrolled in. Due to the global demand there
are countless educational institutions who are offering engineering courses. But yes, the best is what attracts both the parents
and students.
The Abundance of Choices
The United States has more than 300 universities which are recognized by the Accreditation Board of Engineering and
Technology (ABET); the national organization that ensures standard competence among the engineering colleges. Hence,
there are no chances of doubt as it is very much clear that some of the best engineering colleges are located in the U.S. On a
count, there are more than 200 universities which offer courses in mechanical engineering, and almost about 300 universities
which offer courses in computer or electrical engineering. Apart from these major streams, the U.S has universities offering
degrees in agricultural engineering (31), construction engineering (25), manufacturing engineering (31), environmental
engineering (80), biomedical engineering (62), software engineering (22), and other such programs.
The Celebrated Academia
Another major factor that influences students while choosing the universities is its reputation. With more than 400
universities across the country, U.S has some of the best renowned universities that offer engineering. Stanford University,
University of California (Berkeley), University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign, Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
University of Michigan, Georgia Institute of Technology, University of Texas at Austin, Princeton University, and Prude
University are few of the best universities that offer engineering. Nevertheless, there is no need for an introduction to these
universities as these are few of the globally renowned colleges of University. They are not only accepted for their academic
excellence, but also for other varied reasons. Another major aspect of studying in these universities is the flexibility of the
educational system. During the undergraduate level, students can choose different courses before deciding their choice for
major. Hence, students find enough time to explore and find their interests accordingly.

technologies along with top researchers of the field as teachers. This shapes the students for their better future. The students
are exposed to the real world during the academic sessions itself.
Employment Prospects
International degree in engineering has countless opportunities all around the globe and now added with the benefit of
graduating from US will be a further advantage. Being placed in one of the world’s largest economy, students are now open
to wide range of career options. It is observed by most of the researchers that engineers based in the U.S tend to earn much
higher salaries than their equivalents in other countries. According to a survey conducted by PayScale , the average salary of
an engineer in the U.S is US $76,061 approximately. Similarly, interns who are enrolled at the U.S universities get stipends
per month, which is also a way of ‘Learning while Earning’. The students can get a chance of working in U.S. after
completing the engineering course. The U.S government allows companies to employ foreign workers in arenas like
engineering provided that they possess an accredited qualification from an U.S institution. Apart from that the international
students are given an option of working on campus up to 20 hours a week. Most of the students utilize this time to find an
appropriate intern program that would be helpful for them in the near future.
The Diverse Culture and Campus Life
Needless to say, most memorable days of a student are the days spent in school and colleges. The freedom, life style and fun
filled life at American campuses are not new to anyone. Enrolling one of the universities in America is a gateway to break
free from the previous world. The student experiences a change in culture, style and everything else. They are exposed to
people from all over the world and thus introduced to a world of diversified culture. The campus life in the American colleges
is not just about attending classes and lectures. The students here are encouraged to take part in other programs like sports, art
and other co-curricular activities. Almost all the universities have an international student unit which takes care of the
wellbeing of the international students and answers their queries.
Studying in U.S, not only benefits the international students with helping them receive a degree, but they are being trained by
some of the dedicated professors. Graduating from a US campus will equip the students to chase the career they have always
wanted and excel in it. With the advanced technologies and guidance from the industry experts, a student is well trained to
engineer his way into the world and create masterpieces. T R

STUDENT’S DIARY

41. The most difficult decision which a student has to make that too right after their school is to decide about what to study
next? They are confused with the ranging subjects, unable to decide which college would offer a better chance for
them to outshine. Let’s say that choosing a college is as important as choosing a subject for your majors. Going by
sequence knowing what to study takes an upper hand. Where do you see yourself in 20 years from now? Try answering this
question. Very few can come up with an exact answer; most of the others aren’t sure. It is acceptable, worry, if you aren’t
confused. People start to believe that without having a goal they cannot decide on what to choose as a major in college.
Below are few factors which can help students think about it.
Don’t believe in any myths
There are countless myths that students receive while they near to those crucial days of choosing a major subject. Believe
none! Don’t consider the opinions when people would walk you out from picking any liberal arts subjects saying that such
subjects would lead you to unemployment. There is nothing that you cannot achieve if you have interest. Also know that as
much as choosing a major is important, it is totally okay not to choose one too. Perspectives would change as one goes ahead.
Most of them have drifted from their career path and started finding interest in other fields and have outdone in it too. All one
needs is the willingness to accept the change and the courage to follow the field of your interest even if the initial path would
be filled with hurdles.
Choose Brian Over Heart
This is the time when students will have people from all walks of their life giving an opinion on what they should do. Listen
to none of them, let it be parents, friends or teachers even though all that they are trying to do is to offer help. Always listen

42. T R
to your opinion because that is what will help you in the long run. Don’t agree on, “Listen to your heart” here. There is a
difference between choosing passion and interest. One’s interest would guide them to a path where they will find bigger and
newer opportunities, passion will always follow behind. That is why being logical and listening to brain matters at this point
of the time. Not everyone is certain about their passion. As mentioned before people tend to choose a different path once they
enter the corporate field. Following one’s own subject of interest would also help in discovering passions.
Know your goals
There can only be one Einstein or only one Shakespeare, but there can’t be another you. As the quote goes “Be yourself,
everyone else is taken”; analyze what you are good at. Question/ Ask yourself what do you want to do in future.
There’s a propensity where students usually use to follow what their elders guide them through. Parents usually
suggest with opinions like lawyer, doctor and engineer or any other profession. But pull yourself out from this
noise and confusion and focus on your very own goals. There are many who haven’t chosen a goal yet. That
is absolutely okay too, unless you decide to follow someone else’s goals. Here is a small tip which we can
suggest, put your decisions into the real world. Think over whether you have decided to follow a
particular path looking at its future promises, or because it stirs you deeply. A lot of things can happen
overnight. Similarly the future is uncertain. So pick something which makes you wonder or which
encourages you to study harder and most importantly which forces you to think about it in-depth.
Be an Adept
Following one’s interest or picking a goal is not enough. Be ready to bend. There is nothing
that cannot be achieved without hard work. So only when world throws you in a situation
where you want to quit, know that you are going the right path. Willingness to take up new
challenges, study hard and exploring would make one skilled at it. Another major quality
that one should have is acceptance. Being open to criticism and readiness to learn more
will help you keep going. The designer of one’s future is oneself, with the world is
getting competitive by every minute all one should focus on is to strive to be on top.
The above mentioned points can only guide one. However, it is the students who
know what is best for them. Whatever subject you choose or whoever you choose
to become, be the best version of it.

44. As per the report released by UNWTO World
Tourism Barometer, international tourist arrivals
grew by a remarkable 7% in 2017 to reach a total
of 1322 million. According to the report released by the
Ministry of Tourism, Government of India, the number of
international tourist arrival in India in 2016 reached 14.57
million with 9.7% annual growth rate while the number of
domestic tourist visit stands at 1613.55 million with an
annual growth rate of 12.68%. Tourism continues to play an
essential role as a foreign exchange earner for the country.
In 2016, foreign exchange earnings from tourist were US$
22.92 billion as compared to US$ 21.07 billion in 2015,
registering a growth of 8.8%. Due to the growing will of
people to escape from their regular schedule and experience
different culture and lifestyle as well as due to increasing
disposable income of the people, both domestic and
international tourism will continue to grow in the future.
Travel tourism being an experiential service, i.e., a service
in which the focus is on the experience coming from the
interaction between the customer and the organization, the
emphasis would be given on this quality of service provided
to the customer. Without the ability to provide an
impeccable service to customers, an organization in this
sector will not survive. Technological progress and tourism
have been going hand in hand for years. Innovation is
playing an increasing role in service and is particularly
and opportunities in
Travel Tourism
The Future of Career
crucial for the travel tourism industry. Innovation could be
based on technology or unique service provided by an
enterprise. Competition in the market is a driving force
behind innovation. For an individual enterprise, innovation
can be a means of survival in competition with others. In
many cases, innovations will be the result of changed
customer requirements. This also applies to the travel and
tourism industry, where the road to success lies in creating
products that tourists and other travelers are willing to pay
for. For example, Airbnb has changed the way how tourist
book their hotels to stay in a while on their vacation. Rather
than booking traditional hotels, tourist can book apartments,
homestays or a room with amenities at a lower price
through Airbnb. As a graduate or specialist in Travel
Tourism, there will be many opportunities to innovate and
thereby create value for both the organization and
customers.
Tourists are making higher demands of suppliers
concerning service, knowledge, and competence. Human
capital is therefore essential in the travel and tourism
industry, and the quality of the product offered by the
enterprise depends on the people employed. This is where
career and opportunity in travel tourism lie. The education
offered should reflect the travel and tourism industry’s
competency requirements. The travel and tourism industry’s
competency requirements are affected by trends and

developments in the market. The education offered should
be able to imbibe the changes in the travel and tourism
industry’s competency requirements to ensure that the
industry has access to personnel with relevant qualifications
of a high standard.
Branding and promotion of an experience, event, place or
service are critical in the travel tourism sector. One would
think of the Taj Mahal as a must-see when a person plans to
visit India, or one cannot ignore to experience the cherry
blossom while in Japan in spring. The FIFA World Cup
2018 in Russia, for instance, has resulted in more people
traveling to the country despite higher airfares and hotels
rate. There are a lot of untapped tourist places in India
which could be explored by the tourist. For example, rural
tourism in India, especially in North East India, is still at a
very virgin stage. From a social point of view, rural tourism
may contribute to maintaining the population in rural areas,
promoting the preservation of natural scenarios and
traditional cultures, rehabilitating depressed areas and
improving the socioeconomic conditions of (often poor)
small producers. It may also be a channel to help women,
young people, and socially vulnerable groups (e.g., native
communities) enter into the labor market, get better jobs, or
find new sources of revenues. Thus the role of a person
working in this sector is significant as its influence in
uplifting the social status of a specific section of the society.
An organization needs to connect with customers regularly
through various media such as blogs, videos, and websites.
Engagement with customers through contest and games is
required to keep hold of the customers. The newsletter
should regularly be sent to customers to update them about
the latest news or updates in travel tourism. A person who is
looking forward to a career in travel tourism should possess
content writing skill and be creative and innovative to
provide unique services to customers. An organization
which communicates effectively with its target customer is
AirAsia. AirAsia Berhad is a Malaysian low-cost airline
headquartered near Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia flying to more
than 20 countries. The company sends regular updates
about new routes, sales and offers, new blog and other
offerings. The company is very active in social media such
as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram to name a few and it offers
its monthly magazine downloadable on its website. This
enables the company to survive and grow even though the
sector is very competitive.
