Insights into the IUB 19th Convocation

The 19th convocation at Independent University will take place at the end of January 2018. Since I gained access to the data where all the graduates and their majors were found, I decided to put forth an interesting analysis that highlights the study patterns of over 200+ graduates who will be rejoicing their success wearing black and golden gowns throwing mortar boards up in the air at the IUB campus, Bashundhara.

The amount of money and time invested behind these prestigious degrees truly reflect a causal relationship between their academic interest and the job industry.

If we look into the Graduate School, we will find that MBA in Finance is the leading subject with the highest number of graduates.

Surprisingly, the Undergraduate School has the highest number of BBA graduates in Marketing, making Marketing the hottest subject of this decade.

Engineering school is still plagued by the EEE engineer stereotype and hence, EEE graduates are the highest in number followed by Computer Science and Computer Engineering graduates.

Considering the School of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences, MSS in Media Studies and Communication with focus on Film, Journalism and Development Studies played a significant role with 24 graduates from the graduate school. The number gained a slight increase with 26 BSS in CMN graduates from the undergraduate school. The key indicator in this particular area would be the sharp growth of the advertising and development sector in Bangladesh with a strong media industy followed by continual refugee influx at Ukhia, Cox's Bazaar tagging a huge potential for media professionals and foreign aids.

The remaining graduates from the school of Environmental Science and Public Health show that the students lack interest in these areas with little relevance to the job market. The debate is common and easy to understand since we lack a deep understanding of Mother Nature and her interaction with humans.   

I wish all the graduates a wonderful life ahead. Halelujah!

All the data analysis presented in this article has been taken from the link given below:

An MBA in Finance is the leading degree with the highest number of graduates followed by Human Resource Management and Marketing.

Marketing is the leading subject at IUB with the highest number of graduates who have signed up for the competition.

As seen from the PIE chart, 35% of the Master students are Finance Majors. The key indicator in this area would be the role of the finance and banking sector that compelled these students to pursue an MBA in Finance being highly influenced by the financial industry.

Marketing is the subject that is revolutionizing the future of how businesses in Bangladesh are being conducted. IUB takes pride in its alumni who have achieved significant focus by their contribution to the growth of some world renowned brands starting from Google to Durex.

Engineering School is yet to break out of the stereotype where EEE graduates hold the majority with a highly saturated telecommunications industry and little or no hard engineering industry in Bangladesh.

Surviving the Creative Agency, Part-1

The work offer began without any prior discussion or whatsoever. I called up Kashfia, my dear from IUB with whom I have taken multiple courses and held group presentations. She told me that yes, she has an opening at Positive Hub. I asked her that when should I start. She replied "Come, tomorrow!" The day was March 09, 2017 and soon took my bike to Kemal Ataturk Avenue. Before leaving home, I checked the office address where it was told that Positive Hub is located at Awwal Tower. I parked my bike on the footpath adjacent to the huge tower and took the elevator all the way to the 7th floor. The office gates were locked. I asked the guards if they knew anything related to Positive Hub. They couldnt reply. I momentarily called Kashfia and she corrected the address telling that I need to move forward to a tower called PBL Tower at Gulshan Ciricle-2. It was a disappointment. The facade to the PBL tower looked old. The building had an age to it with a probable number of 20

The Logic Floor (Part One)

Image
The moment you wake up, you ask yourself if you are dreaming or not. Once you get your answer, you think of the people who mean the most to you. You wonder how human relationships work. You try to open up logic floors where you throw questions to yourself and that self-decides to revert back with answers. You take those answers and perform your actions accordingly. The same happened to me. How do you trust those answers that you gave to yourself? You cannot trust because you don't know what will be the final outcome of your actions. Well, I have some answers. What would it be like if I go and visit North India? Steve Jobs paid multiple trips to India and went back home as a Buddhist and found the Apple Inc.  Oh yes, I have another answer too! How about work at Pathao till February 2019? By that time, I will be done completing my electric motorcycle project based on my 1986 Honda H100S. People have been asking me when will I get married. I said "this year or
