Different Platform for Academics
An academic is a knowledge-oriented field which brings career main outcomes of the nation i.e. Students.
In simple the way, we can quote that,
“It
is a discipline or branch of knowledge”.
The field mainly involves
advising is a concerted relationship between a student and an academic advisor. The main purpose of this association is to pave a way for the student in developing a significant learning target that is reliable with personal capabilities, beliefs, and moral values.
I
must say Academics is one of the top respective professions as it directly decides
student's integrity with work, surrounding, and obligation to the nations. Hence,
It is clearly quoted that one teacher can make or break the civilization.
With
concern to the field of Academics, today we are going to take a view for the
different academic opportunity for students in the current era with special
reference to food Technology.
Academic Opportunities:
1. Higher Education: After graduation, one should opt for PG (Post Graduation) as an M. Tech, M.S., M.Sc. and MBA or ABM field. You must enroll yourself after checking the eligibility criterion for a particular institute. As every year there might be new advancement in their criterion so must search for it. While taking admission, college campus and placement must be your focal point. If your interest is towards the industrial sector then think twice before moving with higher education. As mostly to enter into the industry does not require higher education.
2. Ph.D. Scholar: Here, One can go for a Ph.D. or Integrated Ph.D. as per his or her own skills and capabilities. When you move into the field of the Ph.D. scholars know that your major domain is now Academics. As also they have a good future with respect to openings in the current scenario.
3. Profession: The recruitment for various positions is held for university, deemed institute, or for private colleges. The positions are
·
SRA
(Senior Research Assistant),
·
JRA
(Junior Research Assistant),
·
Assistant
Professor,
·
Associate
Professor
·
HOD
(Head Of Department)
·
Professor
or Reader
· Government Schemes
Also now the certain position
is open for B. VOC colleges, As the number of B.Voc colleges increased throughout
India. Today, nearly 150 plus colleges providing B. Vocational in different
disciplines of food tech stream.
I could say nearly 36 plus colleges provide B Voc in Food and aligned discipline only in Maharashtra. So that could be a good opportunity for those who wish to bring their career in Academics. Also with concern to the 4th Dean Committee, there is a vacancy in Pilot plant In charge of any Food Tech academic institute.
4. Expert Speaker or Guest Lecturer: During
the whole journey if you try to gain the required skills then your experience could be
countable for the number of students. It can be done by means of Expert
Speaker. And in COVID 19 situation we have seen and listen to many expert speakers
who advise you. The speakers from different domains like from industry,
academics, entrepreneur, auditor, personality development, motivation, regulations,
consultancy, facilitator, etc.
It means this field paves a big way in the coming future with more leaps and bound. As rather than text knowledge experience talk could give you the required motivation.
5. Author: I must say, very few persons in that domain. But you
may cross the line and mark yourself as an author. As many subjects of UG course
(B. Tech: Food Tech) don’t have good reference books like Micro or subjects of
FBM. So those who have the knowledge and courage go into that arena. Take my
example as an Assistant Professor in Food and Business Management, during the
initial phase no good reference books for the department.
There is one subject for the previous syllabus Food Production Trends and Programmes. After joining academics the same subject allotted to me. I have prepared full notes for my students. Later on, I compile all the notes and publish them as a Book. The book is so much success that the percentage of passing nearly increased by 60-70%, which was previously only mere to 20%. Now, continuing with the same I have 6 books in that arena.
6. Cluster combination with Synergy: Currently numerous citizens are looking for a synergistic effect. It means if you combine two odds fields during UG and PG then combination yields you surplus results. I suggest after B Tech if you choose Law or Journalism as per your likings and preferences. As I have seen some individuals who are in that act and doing handsomely.
7. Freelancer: It could be the scenario of the online world. It gives you the liberty for your work-life balance. But, it depends on your brand value and contacts for such projects.
8. Self Reliant: It clearly indicates a self line of command. As today the world is even more competitive, many platforms are generated to grab the opportunity. It does not require Higher education. It requires the only command on a specific domain. Like many banking, classes absorb a person with all-round abilities for the subjects. So if you have that skill you can go for the classes, interactive sessions, tuitions, and competitive world. As if you are from B Tech background chances of your selection is more due to more number of Food Competitive exams like FCI, FSO, Food Commissioner is now going on. Hence, it acts as a source for self-reliance.
9. Online Pedagogue: It
is one of the major online platforms which is in boom currently. It involves podium
from many major online sites such as Unacademy, Vedantu, Edugraff, Toppr, Byju’s.
No doubt you have to go through their selection and screening test. If you are
pursuing or Ph.D. Scoular than also you opt for the option.
Summary:
1.
Currently
Academics not just only a field opt it as a Profession.
2.
You
must possess the required skills and domain knowledge to succeed.

Once
you create Own Brand value in your expertise field then Expert speaker and The guest lecture is on your way.

reliable and online pedagogues are some of the fine options with concern the one's talent

experience go for Author options.
