2. Needof the hour to +2 Students You have to aspire for higher education. Unless you aspire, others can’t think on your behalf. They can only support or encourage your thought process. But this decision should be only yours. 3 D’s – Decision >Determination>Dedication In case your parents or brothers or sisters are more educated then you can consult them Or else you have to seek the opinion only from your class teachers and not from incompetent friends or relatives or neighbours

3. Why to study after +2 • Right from nursery we are studying year after year only to pursue But after +2 we have no option but to improve our employable skills either by getting placed in a reputed company or study further to improve only higher employment opportunity. • There are many options to continue studies after +2 • 1. B.A or B.Com or B.Sc or BBA which are the basic or general graduations • 2. B Tech, BE BVSc, MBBS, BDS etc which are professional courses. • In the first category, job opportunities are more in number but only at a mediocre level • In the third category, the subject is very attractive, lucrative but unfortunately the available seats are insignificant when compared to the qualified student strength. i.e. 3/1000 study and the study period is longer and many involved is unbearable to common man. • In the second category, it requires only involvement and dedication from the students however rich or poor he may be. • You are at liberty to choose your desired course and all are professional courses under engineering where the no of seats is more than sufficient to the requirement by the +2 students • This category requires only a medium level of expenditure and medium level of years and the very important thing required is titled as CLAPS in short which is available free of cost in a very few where they really care for the future of their college students. • This CLAPS helps every one fetch a job very easily in the global situation

4. EMPLOYABILITY • Employability seems to be a threat to the youth society. But the fact is the other way about. There are more than enough opportunities but employable skill is just in the inverse proportion. • Generally the experts aver that only 15% of the graduates have employable skills. • Once the younger graduates both professional(Engg) and arts (Incl Science and commerce), gets tuned up in communication(Soft skills) and Aptitude, every one has more than one opportunity • It is Paretto’s theory on the ratio 80 – 20. If we think and strive, at any moment we can reverse the ratio into 20 - 80. • Students need clarity of IQ and EQ as follows: • Upto +2 level they have only EQ Emotional quotient which means function through their mind and desire. • After +2 level they need to focus at IQ – Intelligent quotient which functions through their brain and deserving. • By deserving means they can get for they have worked at it

5. EQ means what they want to attain according to their desire which may not bring the good but pleasant but they are not productive and promotive and deprive them of from achieving their goals • IQ based thinking is necessary which will be provided by “CLAPS” • EQ based thinking will fetch them only ordinary and unproductive, worldly and uneducated low profile students’ results which may be useless and demining them in future.

16. Points on Knowledge by Swami Vivekananda • Education is the manifestation of all perfection already in man. • Education is not book-learning; not diverse knowledge. • The training by which the current expression of will, brought under control to become fruitful is “EDUCATION”. • It is not the amount of information gathered and undigested but is for life-building, man+character making and assimilation of ideas. • Negative ideas (EQ) weaken men. • Positive thoughts (time bound IQ) improve them men to build them and achieve their goals

17. Concentration • There is only one method to attain knowledge; called CONCENTRATION. • The very essence of education is only concentration of mind. • The main difference between animal and man is only concentration and not the collection of matter. • High achievements in arts, music, science Technology etc are the results of CONCENTRATION. It is only the key to the treasure of knowledge.

18. Education is not filling the mind with a lot of • information. Perfecting the instrument and getting • complete mastery of our own mind is the Ideal • Education. • USE MIND AS A SERVANT TO INTELLECT & • USE INTELLECT TO CONTROL YOUR MIND. • Be physically pure to get intellectual greatness. • It is called Ojas. • Present day students are capacitated to have • ojas which is a main reason for failure in their • life in spite of higher education
