There are many courses other than engineering and medicine, and those who want to buck the trend can consider studying law, humanities, chemistry, or management courses, Intermediate second-year students were told at a seminar on ‘Careers in Law, Management and Sciences’, organised by The Hindu Future India Club (FIC) in collaboration with VIT-Andhra Pradesh, at A.G. and S.G. Siddhartha Junior College in Vuyyuru on December 12 (Tuesday).
Professors from Schools of Law, Management and Sciences from VIT-AP encouraged the students to follow their passion and study what interests them, instead of following the herd. They explained to students the alternative career paths students have and the different career opportunities available if they choose any of the above mentioned fields.
Throwing light on why law is important, Malavika Ganta from School of Law told the students: “We need a lawyer in every sector. Students graduating from law courses can become lawyers or law advisers. Today, we have environmental lawyers, human rights lawyers, medical lawyers, corporate lawyers, and so on. One can also write a competitive exam to become a civil judge. After Intermediate, one can write the A.P. LAWCET to study in the State or write the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) to study in any of the 22 premier national law institutes in the country.”
