Career Development Cycle and Academic Learning System in Amrita

The development of a good career starts from the thought process of assessing

one’s own capabilities. This is done by a SWOT analysis. This results in a self-

appraisal to build an awareness of own strengths, weaknesses, opportunities

and challenges. For example a student aspiring to join a course in engineering

should have obvious mathematical skills. Once your ambitions match the

skills you are possessing, next attempt should be to narrow down your choice

of available courses and institution. Once you choose the institution and the

course offered, you should definitely explore the scope of the course in more

detail. One should find out whether the curriculum covers the state-of-the art

standards. A comprehensive picture of this matching profiles with regard to the

courses here may be obtained from the following description. Next we should

find out the faculty strength and the infrastructure of the institution. We should

also find out whether the institute supports the placement process through a

placement or corporate relations department and whether separate training

sessions towards the successful objective of placement are provided. We should

also explore the possibilities of higher learning at the institute.

5

A career aspirant should find out whether the institute has a system to

encompass extramural learning from experts in the chosen field and also

possibility for learning courses across the departments in an interdisciplinary

approach.

Perceptions on Building a Career through Amrita

A career aspirant may pursue several different lines of work over the course of

professional life. The skills acquired during the academic learning process lay

the strong foundation for the future success in a chosen career.

As student, when completing the 12th grade or the graduation, a student may

oneself ask the questions like : What is next for me ? What should I choose ?

What should I do to get the right guidance? Which University / college should I

join ? What are the advantages and also challenges related to a particular course

of study ? What are the prerequisite skills ?

Will I get a good career opening ? Are the faculty members proficient and

experienced in imparting the training for me ? Does the curriculum offered

cover the knowledge requirements and pragmatic skills for getting a job ? Does

the syllabus match and adapt itself to the Indian and International standards ?

Is the examination system transparent and modern ? Will I get my degree and

exam results in time ?

How disciplined are the routines of the learning process and environment ?

Are there sessions to enhance my knowledge outside the framework of formal

syllabus?

These are obvious questions asked by the youngsters coming out of schools after

12th and graduates coming out of colleges. When there are host of institutions

offering many courses and career building options, the career aspirants are

enthusiastic about the choice of course and the institution.

The Choice based Credit system (CBCS) followed in our university provides

choice for students to select from the core, elective and free electives of

fractional credits. CBCS: A course (a subject/paper) will define clearly the

learning objective and outcomes. It may be designed to deliver Lecture/

6

Tutorial/ Lab/ Field work/ outreach activity/ project / vocational training /

seminars / self-study / presentations or the combinations.

Beginning from the learning of subjects at a breadth level there will be progression

or transition towards the depth. As the learning progresses depth component

increase and scope for elective will increase. There will be compulsary foundation

and elective subjects. Syllabus is broken down in small fragments.

This booklet on Career guidance gives you an idea about the present trend

and options of career advancement and the possible domains of work areas of

students, choosing to study the courses here.

The information is also presented in simple graphical manner so that one can

develop further knowledge of the career options by browsing the net for a

detailed understanding.

Raising the Goals: Skill sets required for Professional Success

The most important 21st century contemporary skills required for success in

any field are the:

» Digital age literacy encompassing the awareness of general and economic

factors , IT usage , use of visual perceptions , multicultural social views and

basic scientific facts.

» Inventive Thinking including the adaptability to situations, intelligent use

of discretion and self direction, curiosity for learning, risk taking abilities,

reasoning, logic and creativity.

» Effective group, intra and inter personal Communication and sense of civic

responsibility.

» High Productivity which includes ability for prioritizing, planning, managing

for results and effective use of real - world tools.

Though the above skills are more generic in nature there are domain specific

skills required for each job.

unique blend of learning situations to accomplish the above tasks.

Learning Steps for Ph.D.

Mathematics

1. Course work (Ph.D.)

The number of course-work credits that a doctoral student undertakes is decided by the

Doctoral Committee and depends upon the student’s background and intended Ph.D.

research area.

Research Methodology and Foundation Course are compulsory courses for all streams.

In addition:

Students entering with an M.A., M.Com., M.F.A., and M.S.W. degree must complete

a minimum of 12 credits.

All students have to complete a 3-credit Minor course, i.e., one that falls outside the

student’s research area. This course could be from the same school as that of the student

(but different department) or it could be from a different school. The credits for the Minor

course are included in the above-mentioned course-work credits. When necessary, the

Doctoral Committee may prescribe more course-work credits than the minimum number

of credits stated above.

31

In addition to course-work, the doctoral student is expected to carry out creative and

scholarly research leading up to the completion of a written Ph.D. Thesis. Doctoral research

must result in original and substantial contributions to the chosen specialized field of

study. This requires mastery of the literature in the specialized field, and critical thinking

and judgment. The student should also relate the field of study to the broader discipline

within which the research falls.

In recognition of the substantial nature of Ph.D. thesis work, it will carry 60 credits. Full-

time doctoral students shall register for 10-15 credits per semester. Satisfactory progress in

thesis work will result in an ‘O’ grade (for ongoing) and unsatisfactory progress will result

in an ‘I’ grade (for incomplete), which is to be made up within one semester.

Satisfactory progress will be judged by the Doctoral Committee on the basis of semester

wise progress reports submitted by the doctoral student and/or the completion of

publishable papers.

2. Comprehensive ExaminationAll doctoral students must take a Comprehensive Examination after completion of all

course-work. The Comprehensive Examination is an oral (in some Schools, a written-cum-

oral) examination administered by the Doctoral Committee and examines the course work

undergone by the candidate.

3. PublicationsAfter completion of the Comprehensive Examination, every doctoral student is expected

to publish one refereed paper a year. These papers should be in a Scopus indexed journal

or conference proceedings.

4. Qualifying Examination and Thesis ProposalAll doctoral students must take a Qualifying Examination. The Qualifying Examination is

an oral examination administered by a Qualifying Examination Committee consisting of

the Doctoral Committee together with an external expert from a reputed academic or R&D

institution in India. The Convener of the Doctoral Committee will be the Convener of the

Qualifying Examination Committee.

5. Open Seminars

After advancement to candidacy, all doctoral candidates are required to present two

research seminars. The two seminars should be at least six months apart, with the second

seminar being held immediately before the submission of the Synopsis.

also given the second Open Seminar the candidate is required to submit a written Synopsis

to the Doctoral Committee for approval. The Synopsis should include the motivation,

significance and main objectives of the research, along with a brief literature survey and a

detailed report on the thesis research.

within six weeks from the date of submission of the Synopsis.
