CHANDIGARH | WEDNESDAY | 21 MARCH 2018
Step into a perfect landscape
GAURI CHHABRA
VER seen a strange
E rock formation and
wondered how it got
that way? Or watched
a documentary about
an overcrowded slum and
wanted to understand why
people were living in such
poor conditions? If you
choose to study geography
at university, you’ll have a
chance to explore these
types of questions, and
much more. Indeed, geog-
raphy degrees are some of
the most varied; it’s more
apt to consider this as a
broad academic field,
rather than a single subject.
If you have love for geog-
raphy, some of the career
fields you can go in for are :
GEOGRAPHICAL
INFORMATION SYSTEMS
Most of the countries in the
world have started special-
ising in Geographical Infor-
mation System (GIS) and
Remote Sensing (RS). With
the advent of new and
advanced technology, the
importance of geospatial
science is going to amplify.
Accelerated growth and
development prospects in
India would encourage sev-
eral industries and busi-
nesses to use GIS and
Remote Sensing. These
tools and techniques can be
widely used in the fields of
agriculture, irrigation,
forestry, transportation and
others. Geoinformatics
includes GIS, Remote
Sensing and Global Posi-
tioning System (GPS). You
can be hired at various lev-
els in positions like GIS
Mapping Technician, GIS
Data Specialist, GIS Appli-
cation Specialist, GIS Busi-
ness Analyst, GIS Engineer,
GIS Operator, GIS Consul-
tant, Geospatial Software
Engineer, GIS Programmer,
and GIS Technical Assis-
tant. Some of the public
sector organizations that
would hire you are Indian
Banking on a global turf
AMIT GOYAL
HE world is groping for the
T most appropriate interna-
tional banking system.
International banking is
about banking services pro-
vided to residents in foreign
countries from offices located
in the home country. This also
includes services of propri-
etary trading on behalf of cus-
tomers without establishing a
foreign presence. An interna-
tional bank could help you
meet your banking needs by
providing you essential serv-
ices and assistance. Anyone
who has extensive business
dealings in foreign countries
or is trying to expand into the
foreign marketplace would
require services of an interna-
tional bank.
Need for overseas banking
International banking is
required to be able to work in
other countries. Each country
has its own set of complex
regulatory laws. International
banking falls in the domain of
cross-border trade, be it of
commodities, currencies,
equities and bonds. Interna-
tional banking facilitates you
convert or exchange your cur-
rency, and make and receive
payments for your goods and
services. Banks with global
presense usually have a dedi-
cated international banking
department.
Sectors and scope
There are several forms of
international banking struc-
tures and relationships. For
example, a correspondent
bank provides services for
another bank. The bank nei-
ther has an ownership interest
nor any control over the other.
They just engage in a mutual-
ly beneficial relationship.

Q. I am a science student pursuing my master’s in physics at
Panjab University, Chandigarh. I’ve realised that I have a
flair for teaching and communication but am not particularly
interested in pursuing a career in research. Could you please
suggest how I should proceed. — CHARU UPPAL
A. There’s a great option
for young people like
you who have a genuine
interest in improving sci-
ence education rather than
in pursuing pure or applied
science research.
The Homi Bhabha Centre
for Science Education
offers a PhD Programme in
Science Education.
Students at HBCSE’s
Graduate School in Science
Education undergo courses
and field / project work, fol-
lowed by a dissertation on an
approved topic of research
leading to the degree of Ph.D.
in Science Education of the
Tata Institute of Fundamen-
tal Research (TIFR), which is
a Deemed University.
The full time ‘Research
Scholars’ also receive a
generous monthly scholar-
ship in addition to an annu-
al contingency grant.
Eligibility: MSc. (any), M
Tech or a master’s degree
(MA/ MSW) in any of the
social/ behavioural sciences/
psychology/ linguistics/ soci-
ology/ economics/ anthro-
pology or M.Ed. with a bach-
elor’s degree in Science /
Social Sc / Humanities.
Besides possessing a flair
for teaching and writing,
critical and analytical skills
would come in handy.
Part-time / External stu-
dents: Science and mathe-
matics teachers and educa-
tors can also pursue the
PhD. program part-time or
as external students.
In their two years (mini-
mum) at HBCSE, they can
do their research work
while being stationed at
their parent institutions.
Understandably, they
would need prior clearance
from their respective
organisations.
Selection to the PhD
programmes is based on
an entrance exam fol-
lowed by an interview,
which is the major con-
stituent of the exam.
In exceptional cases, a Spe-
cial Entrance Exam may be
administered at any time of
the year to an especially
promising candidate at the
discretion of the Subject
Board. This provision also
applies to exceptionally
promising Foreign Students.
The application deadline
for the 2018 programme is
March 30, 2018 and the Writ-
ten Test is on May 13, 2018

RACHIT CHAWLA
Some of the most demand-
ing and lucrative jobs in
India are from the financial
sector. Among these, invest-
ment management is a
favourite of young
professionals. A
majority of stu-
dents with
degrees like
MBA (finance), MFC,
CA, or CFA wants to make a
career in investment man-
agement. Investment man-
agement is a diversified field
that revolves around the
appropriate management of
stocks, bonds, mutual funds,
pension funds, insurance,
equities, real estate, securi-
ties, and several other finan-
cial assets.
The foremost responsibil-
ity of an investment manag-
er is to multiply the assets
of a client through the right
selection of instruments
and plans. Continuous
monitoring of the invested
resources, making market
forecast, taking an instant
decision in case of shocks,
risks and even opportuni-
ties, and communication
with the client to update
him about every small and
big change, make the job of
an investment manager
challenging and exciting at
the same time.

RAJSHEKHAR RATREY
As the examination date of
JEE Main 2018 draws closer,
it is time that students
geared up for the D-day.
Revise as much and attempt
as many mock tests as possi-
ble. The Central Board of
Secondary Education
(CBSE) has already released
the admit cards. This is a
sign enough for students to
pull up their socks and pur-
sue a systematic exam-ori-
ented preparation approach
for best results. It is impera-
tive for all JEE aspirants to
give equal weightage to all
three subjects: Physics,
Chemistry and Math. With
less than a month left for
this competitive exam, only
a well-planned timetable
along with the appropriate
preparation can yield excel-
lent results.
Here’s how students can
prepare subject-wise and
score good marks in the
upcoming JEE Main
examination:
PHYSICS: Electricity and
1 Magnetism, Modern
Physics and Thermal Physics
are the most scoring and the
least time-consuming parts
of Physics. Modern Physics
and Thermal Physics are
mostly formula and calcula-
tion-based sections that
require students to memo-
rise a whole lot. Ensure that
you learn the concepts of
Optics thoroughly in order
to easily solve the questions.
Revise the most difficult and
vast topic of Mechanics
towards the end.

Get set score
With lakhs of students vying for a seat
in the premium engineering institu-
tions of India, students need to buckle
up and ace their preparations. Here
are some last-minute preparation tips
that can be useful:
■ Ensure all concepts are clear:
During revision, extensively cover NCERT
books for basic and standard questions.
NCERT books form the fundamental
material for JEE preparations and they
should be given utmost importance at the
time of revision.
■ Do not study new books and
topics: There are too many preparatory
books available in the market to help you
ace the exam. However, it is not advisable
to buy new books and learn new concepts
at the eleventh hour. This may increase
your stress levels and hamper your pace
of preparations.
■ Address all your doubts: You do
not want to lose marks because you
failed to clear your doubts on time. Seek
help from instructors and get all your
queries cleared well in advance.
■ Brush up all concepts: Make it a
habit to revise all the theorems, formulas
and other important concepts.
■ Solve as many test papers as
possible: The idea is to improve your
speed and accuracy. Solve three to four
test papers in a day. Ensure that you
attempt the question papers within the
stipulated time period.
