Q.
I have passed the 12th standard and have been selected in various competitive exams that have secured my entry into mechanical engineering, but I want to do petroleum engineering. I wanted to ask specifically about petroleum engineering. My questions are: What will a petroleum engineer do when petrol reserves finish after 30 years roughly? Although Im interested in petroleum engineering as a course to study, should I take mechanical engineering because their will be no scope for petrol engineers after 30 years ? - Achyut Chandraa

Petroleum engineers seek out oil and gas reservoirs beneath the earths surface. They develop the safest and most efficient methods of bringing those resources to the surface. However, the work is not confined to just exploiting the oil reserves, as resources are getting depleted and demands increase for alternative energy, some forward-thinking petroleum engineers are turning their talents to working on alternative fuel resources and clean energy products that produce fewer harmful carbon emissions. Moreover, petroleum engineers study more than just combustible material; they can also work on the hundreds of everyday products from medicines and cosmetics to plastics and textile made from petroleum resources. Petroleum engineers also develop extensive knowledge about the world of oil production, and many become industry analysts. So, if you have interest in petroleum engineering there is certainly a huge scope for this career, even after 30 years.
Q.
I graduated in commerce (pass) from Rajasthan University in 2009. I wish to do a postgraduate course. What special skills do I need to become a creative director? I would like to know about the courses available. I need to know about the career options in a magazine. Please help. — Shivangi

A creative director heads a team that produces creative work, whether for advertising, in magazines, on television, on billboards, on the web, or on products. A creative team can consist of artists, graphic designers, photographers, copywriters, and a production staff. To become a creative director for a magazine, you will need training in graphic design. You will start your career as a junior graphic designer or visualiser and then depending on your talent and opportunities, you can rise to the top of a creative team of a magazine as an art director or creative director. The best way to enter into the world of graphic design is by doing a course in applied art or graphic design. Applied art is offered is a specialisation in the BFA programme at art colleges in different cities including, the College of Art (University of Delhi) and Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi. As you are a graduate, you can look at a number of postgraduate courses in graphic design or visual communication being offered at various institutions and reputable private art schools including: n National Institute of Design, Paldi, Ahmedabad - 380 007, Phone: 79-26623692 www.nid.edu n Srishti - School of Art, Design & Technology, PO Box No. 6430, Yelahanka New Town, Doddabalapur Road, (Opp. Wheel & Axle Plant), Bangalore - 560106, Phone: 80-40447000 / 40446964 / 65 / 66, www.srishtiblr.org * Apeejay Institute of Design, 54, Institutional Area, Tughlaqabad, New Delhi - 110044 www.apeejay.edu * Raffles Millennium Institute, Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore www.raffles-design-institute.com * IILM School of Design, Gurgaon, www.iilm.in * Sophia Polytechnic, Bhulabhai Desai Road, Bombay www.sophiacampus.com * JJ School of Art, Dhobi Talao, Bombay * SNDT Womens University, Vithaldas Thackersey Marg, Marine Lines, Mumbai, www.sndt.edu There are also polytechnics that offer diploma courses in graphic design. There is now a common entrance test - National Entrance Examination for Design (NEED) for admission to some of the premier institutes like NID, Ahmedabad. You can check the NID website for more details. However, it is not just the training but the intrinsic talent that is necessary to be successful in this field. You should have an aesthetic bent of mind, be good at drawing and sketching and be creative. Computer skills, particularly for using software such as Abode and Photoshop are an asset. -
Q.
I am pursuing my Bachelor’s in English (H) through correspondence. I am also working in a hotel. After graduation, I want to pursue a career in human resources. What is beneficial: MBA or management training? What are the qualifications for becoming a management trainee? Is an IHM qualification necessary to apply for management training? To what extent is an MBA degree similar to or different from management training? — Aarti Verma
A.
To pursue a career in HR, you need to hold an MBA degree with specialisation in HR. Human resource management is an organisational function which mainly deals with recruitment, training, placement, promotion, transfer, and industrial disputes, as well as labour discipline and grievances, employee morale and organisational development. You need to be good with people, have an understanding of human psychology, an ability to get on with all types of people regardless of their age, class, social or educational background, as well as have organisational, administrative and problem-solving skills. Your work is training you in a career in hotel management. The management training that you mention is possibly what you would get at the hotel once you have qualified in hotel management. You, therefore, need to decide whether with your hotel experience you should continue with the training in hotel management or take up the MBA to specialise in HR. -
