Humanities & Social Sciences

Hi Soumyadip!
There is no point in pursuing a course that you don't like. Between photography and social work also, you need to figure out which one you want to take up as your career. You are eligible for both the courses as you have completed your 10+2 already. If you wish to pursue photography, please refer to this link https://www.shiksha.com/careers/photographer-88
On the other hand, a career in social work is personally very satisfying and rewarding. If you wish to pursue a degree in social work, you may consider applying to these colleges:
1. Tata Institute of Social Sciences
2. Department of Social Work
3. Madras School of Social Work
4. Department of Social work, Jamia Milia Islamia
5. Loyola College of Social Sciences.

If you have an option to work for another year, it would be better for your future and you are advised to take up a full-time MBA from a B-School which can guarantee placement assistance. However, your future will depend on how much employability skills you have and how successfully you can cut through the market competitions in the job market. Also, within the organisation, you will be employed to move forward and rise in your life and career. MBA degree will not ensure your success as millions of MBAs including many of those who are from premier B-Schools are today either unemployed or underemployed. It is highly advisable that you focus on improving your employability skills and application capabilities over merely getting an MBA degree. Distance education MBA is okay if you are already in a good job or in business but in a current economic situation and gloomy job market it is difficult to get a job with distance education MBA and if you get one you can get it without the MBA degree too.

First of all, you need to understand the costs involved in doing Ph.D from overseas and decide on which part of the world you wish to do it, and why? Many feel that going to west like US or UK for their Ph.D will change their lives, but there are many harsh realities. You need to understand which countries are there where universities have good reputation in the areas of your interest, how much it would cost you? It may be in China or Thailand or Singapore or Germany or UK or USA or Canada or France or Spain or Italy or South Africa or Korea. What I am trying to say is that all these nations and many others have world class universities, they differ in cost, prerequisites, and most importantly affordability and acceptance. You should launch Google search on the area of your interest and should start communicating with the universities found in your search on costs, prerequisites, acceptability and feasibilities. One important factor you need to consider is also possibilities of getting job and opportunities to settle down after Ph.D, as you know overseas Ph.Ds do not receive a big welcome in India and even Harvard or Cambridge legends of Indian origin are unwanted in India, while Ph.D from Bilaspur will get greater value within India for other reasons.
