can embark on this journey, do think whether you really want to do it. If the answer is“ Yes”, go ahead and plan it strategically with backup options and other necessary arrangements. Needless to say, it ' s an exciting career. I sincerely wish many more students from OUCE opt for Civil Services.
How do you think the younger generation should be prepared for the future( both in professional and personal development aspects)? Well, the changes that are taking place are very rapid and very challenging for the younger generation both personally and professionally. Professionally, they have to develop the skills needed for new challenges. The skills you learn as a part of your academic curriculum is very fundamental and one has to be very strong in them. However, one has to develop them to a professional level with their own interest and passion. My advice to the students is to form clubs in the college for their interests( e. g.: VLSI designing, Debating etc) and build on it. One would learn many things through such informal learning platforms in addition to the formal course curriculum. These activities not only enhance their technical skills but also interpersonal skills. Holistic development of one’ s personality is very essential for both professional and personal success.
Any other advice you wish to give to students as an Alumni? The college days are undoubtedly one of the best years of your life. The friends you make, the bonding you develop would last for a lifetime. The skills you develop and the learning you take home from here are the stepping stones and lead you to success. How best you can utilize this time would decide your future and the future of this country. Make the best use of this time. After all, we have only one life. Why not live it to the fullest?
