Shiksha Top Questions

Hello,
Bachelor of Computer Application is a regular three years course that is offered by many colleges in almost every city of India. This course is of course approved by the concerned universities in its content. There is also a system in place in each university to review and change the syllabus as per the requirement. At some places it's divided into six semesters while in some cases annual pattern is still followed. On the other hand "ethical hacker's course" is offered by dozens of computer learning that have mushroomed everywhere. Then this course is neither regulated by any statutory body nor is it regulated by industry body or association. At some places about 50 hours of learning makes one certified ethical hacker while in some institutions it takes up to 200 hours of learning. For a person who is enrolled for BCA, this hacker's course can be anytime without any trouble absolutely. It can be done online, by weekly classes, etc. As it is not a course conducted as per university norm, it can definitely be taken up simultaneously with BCA.

It is difficult to say for sure which animation institute utilises the latest tools and technology while teaching students without being in the industry ourselves. The industry updates itself constantly. We in India mostly use a decade old software and techniques. However, I would suggest you research about institutes by going there and talking to the faculty and students reading reviews on the internet.
Currently, institutes like Arena, MAAC and colleges like NID are famous for animation courses. But I would repeat my advice that you go to their campuses and judge by yourself. Look into what version of software they use, what devices they use. Look up portfolios of its previous batches. Animation Institutes in India are not very stable as teachers drop midway through the course and go for a better job.

PMP Training Institute in Mumbai:
You can get PRO certification training in 3 different modes:
1. Regular classroom training
2. Self-learning online training
3. Instructor-led online training
Classroom Training:
The classroom training courses are the best for learning. They can increase the chances of your success substantially. To do classroom training, you should find the best trainer in your city. The trainer is the most important aspect of classroom training. You would be spending 4 days with the trainer. If the trainer is not good then these 4 days will be wasted and your money will go down the drain.
Most people look for the best institute but I think the trainer is more important than the institute. An aspirant remains in contact with the trainer for 4 days. The institute has very little role during these 4 days. It does not mean that the institute is not important. A good institute would provide comprehensive study material and good post workshop support. But first, find out a good trainer and then choose the institute. You can search on LinkedIn to find good trainers in your city.
Classroom courses are usually most expensive. In India, a classroom course costs in the range of INR 11000-15000.

Hi reader,
It is not too easy to maintain your job and pursue VFX course too. Institute which provides education for VFX course mostly runs for 2 hours and 3 days in a week. You have to arrange your timing apart from your job timing plus there will be practice works, assignments and projects too. It will be very hard for one to continue his job with learning, but it's not impossible too. In this course, a visual-effects artist and supervisor create special effects, animation and do visual clean-up for feature films and commercials. One day, you may be supervising a shot of film extras so they can be digitally duplicated into a scene and I do not think your job could have any connection with this course, which will create problems for you later. So, the only thing you can do is you have to ask the course faculty to give you classes on your free time and inform them about your job situation too, they will find a way for you easily but it will take a long time to complete your course because you cant give full time to your education. It will be like, if a normal student took 3-years in the course, you will give around 4-years to master the course.

Hi,
The first thing that comes to my mind by the word chef is passion, to work as a chef one has to be very passionate. To start a good career in food Production or to be a chef you should have a Degree in hospitality or hotel management or a diploma in same. Basically, you should be a hospitality graduate and then you can get into a management trainee program and after the completion of the program you will be a JR. SOUS CHEF but to reach to this level you have to have very good knowledge about food and all the basic and non-basic terms and methods of cooking.
If you start your career as management trainee you will get somewhere around INR 25000 to INR 30000 per month and your salary increases to INR 30000 to INR 40000 after the completion of the management trainee program.

Hi reader,
I am a graphic designing student. Actually, graphic designers create visual concepts, using computer software or by hand, to communicate ideas that inspire, inform and captivate consumers. They develop the overall layout and production design for various applications such as for advertisements, brochures, magazines, and corporate reports and I actually do not have much idea about civil engineering. Only thing I know is you should do your work only when you enjoying it, if it is burden on you, you should quit. You also look quite confused, you have to clear yourself what actually your dream is? And graphic designing is a course which you can learn any time in your lifespan. The job opportunities in this field are endless. What really matters is, are you enjoying your job. if you really want to be a graphic designer then there are no issues in coming to this field, you will always be welcome. Also, you can pursue the course after completing civil engineering.
Best of luck for your dreams and future.
