Class of 2020

August 21, 2020. The author of this blog is graduating. Kudos !!!! And I am pretty sure that many of you must have graduated or would be graduating soon or still studying in school. I don’t care!

 

But the big question is what’s the future after this corona graduation? This class of 2020 is the most unique batch that many students have not even imagined or will ever witness such thing. Just imagine yourself one year back and fantasizing “Wish we could graduate just by sitting at home”, “Why can’t we give exams from home? Why do have to get our asses to the examination hall?” etc etc….

I don’t know who the hell thought like that but I pray whosoever had thoughts like this deserve a good hell. (pun intented)

 

Hurray… Here it is, COVID-19 to fulfil all your fantasise. Now enjoy


Okay so, now let’s get serious

And here comes the important question - What after this Corona Graduation? What will happen to class of 2020? Will we get jobs after Corona? There are many questions like pounding all over the internet.

1. Placements / Employment


Many students must be wondering after completing their graduation about their placements. The question which every student seeking answer for. But how this process will cope up with this ongoing pandemic? There are many explanations for this in different context like for engineering students if they belong to IT field, there are many chances they could get placement or in simple language if I have to explain – all the courses oriented towards IT have higher chances to get placements because of the accessibility of their work. Where as any job which require physical presence have low chances, as you all know how companies are trying to reduce the number of employees to maintain a physical distance in the form of job cuts and unpaid leaves.

 

2. Higher Studies


If students are planning for higher studies there is quite an uncertainty about it but not for long. Education institutions are moving towards e-classes but the admission process is still stuck in the middle because of the confusion over the conduction of entrance examinations and especially in public universities. Once government takes decision over the conduction of entrance examinations, hopefully things will get on track then and students will able to take admissions.

The recent controversy on the conduction of JEE and NEET examination is catching up fire as eve Supreme Court of India has asked to conduct the entrance exams. It definitely endangers the lives of students although there are few guidelines to conduct the exam keeping in mind of COVID-19 effects.

 

3. Studying Abroad


 Universities abroad are running in full pace except the physical classes as they are now being replaced by online but admission procedure running on time in all of the major universities abroad. So, if someone is thinking to study abroad, they can definitely pursue for it. But here is the catch, it could take some time to physically go to abroad universities as international flights are restricted in many countries.  


Every explanation or every answer stands uncertain about the future because situation is evolving day by day. Hence, we cannot say much about all these things and cannot predict anything as of now. It depends on the demography and area to area situation.



 All you can do is just keep patience, maintain a good health, take all the necessary measures to protect yourself from COVID-19 because health is not above studies. That’s all I have to say.

Thank you for your patience.
