After the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) for Engineering, several successful students having various ranks are confused about which stream and which college to take admission to. Such students would do well to keep certain facts in mind:

1. There may a trade-off between the desired stream and the desired college.
2. If in doubt, give preference to the college. The brand equity counts.
3. Keep in mind that sectors like Information Technology are more susceptible to fluctuations in demand than Civil or Mechanical Engineering.
4. You should also realise that a BE degree is usually not sufficient for career progression. Thus, the prospects for higher study of a stream should also be kept in mind.
5. If forced to enter a college and/or stream against your choice, try to accept it gracefully and concentrate on your career progression.

The Common Admission Test (CAT) is a requirement for admission to post-graduate programmes in management in the Indian Institutes of Management.

Candidates will find the following points helpful:

1. CAT is basically an aptitude test. Domain knowledge in a specific field is not required. English and rudimentary quantitative aptitude are the primary features of your personality profile tested.
2. Prepare yourself thoroughly. There should be no gaps in your required knowledge base.
3. Practice working out previous years question papers within the stipulated time so that you do not suffer from time overrun on the examination day.
4. Remove tension from your mind and be relaxed. Remember that your competitors are facing the same advantages and disadvantages as you are.
5. The earlier you start the test preparation the better it is. Start preparing for CAT at least a year in advance of the test date. Monitor your progress carefully to ensure that you are advancing towards writing a good test.
6. Keep fit. This is necessary in the run-up to the test as well on the test day. A fever on the test day can ruin your chances.
7. Take enough time to relax in the preparation period so that you do not suffer from a burnout. Meditate if you can.
8. If you happen to be a student, synchronise your CAT preparation with your normal studies in a judicious manner.
9. Develop a positive attitude towards life in general and the test in particular. Normally, this should happen automatically but if you so feel, you can seek expert advice.
10. Remember that much of your future career depends on how you perform in this test. This should spur you on to making your best effort.
11. Keep in mind that there are no shortcuts to getting a good score.

MultiSpectra Spark is meant for senior engineers, technologists and scientists. This complements MultiSpectra Edge, the integrated programme offered by MultiSpectra Consultants for students and young engineers which has been a thundering success. ( http://tinyurl.com/MultiSpectraEdge ). A brief outline of MultiSpectra Spark is given below.

MultiSpectra Spark allows senior engineers, technologists and scientists to be affiliated to MultiSpectra Consultants on a profit-sharing or commission basis, not on a salaried basis. Such senior engineers, technologists and scientists will be expected to be involved in lead-generation as well as in project execution. As is well known, MultiSpectra Consultants has carved out a niche for itself for finding research-based solutions to Civil Engineering problems. In addition, MultiSpectra Consultants has a vibrant educational programme for students and young engineers and senior engineers, technologists and scientists can be associated with that. Just as one of the objectives of MultiSpectra Edge is to develop a spirit of entrepreneurship among students and young engineers, one of the objectives of MultiSpectra Spark is to develop a spirit of entrepreneurship among senior engineers, technologists and scientists.

MultiSpectra Consultants is also developing an online platform for Civil Engineers and Architects to interact in view of the fact that such a platform does not exist so far and is necessary and will have considerable market traction if the success of healthcare, property, e-commerce, travel and hospitality online platforms is any indication. Senior engineers, technologists and scientists are welcome to participate in the building of the platform.

Senior engineers, technologists and scientists may apply for MultiSpectra Spark by e-mailing the undersigned at dramartyakumar@gmail.com attaching their current CV to the e-mail.
