Dr. Manmohan Singh never said anything but his work spoke for him. And now we have someone who speaks a lot but his work doesn't meet his words......!!!

I'm a Shaheed Bhagat Singh Eng Hons passout. While it is good if you get in, in the long run it does not matter professionally. Don't stress about it!

Once a wise man said : Narendra Modi as a Prime Minister will be disastrous for India.....!!

Guys I’m in DU myself, it’s hyped up. I know a lot of people actually learning better and enhancing their skill set better in private colleges like Symbiosis etc. I hope y’all make it to your final goal keep working you got this ❤️

"Saaaab Changa Sii " , You are doing amazing Sir Akash . We need You at this moment especially what India is going through.

To those of you who have just finished 10th or 12th, if you don't get in to the college of your choice, do not despair. As a great man once said 'life finds a way', you will find your way in life if you are willing to work for what you want.

My Son : What is the meaning of NDA ( Modi Sarkaar) Me : NDA means No Data Available 😂😂😂

I have completed my school from an average school and college from a govt college where no one presented to teach us… But then I worked on my skills and now I am working in a good company with a decent package and working on RU-vid as a tutor also.. Degree is bullshit but skills are important

Hamaare Baap Dada ne 60 saalo me BJP ko kyu nahi chuna Ye pichle 7 sallo me pata chal gaya 😀😀😀

Did my Graduation in Biotechnology from a local college. Then got into IIT Roorkee and did masters in Biotechnology. College doesnt matters. Hard work do. So, earns skills not degrees.

I regret to share that most of our academicians ( forget about school) lack Communication skills,presentation skills, and full of ego. They are reluctto upgrade themselves. For, those few who , would land up in comment section, this is for them ...take it from a corporate trainer, degree is useful but not without skill.

Teacher asked to write assay on dirt in less words The Children left by writing BJP 😛😛😛😛😛😛😛😛

The condition of Andhbhakts has been like Katappa They know that this is going wrong, but because of the slavery of BJP, they can't speak 😅😅😅

Great topic sir. I'm myself a software developer and I do recruitment for my company. It is very difficult to fill position these days because people are not upskilling themselves with time.

"Skills are cheap. Passion is priceless."

Having scored 96% this year in CBSE I got approved for three constituent college of DU i.e. Shivaji College, Rajdhani College and Deen Dayal Upadhyay college in BA(H) in English and BA(H) in history. But my father made me realise to see future in my interest not what my friends imposed over me, thanks to him I am currently in Jaipur, pursuing graduation in BFA in RU. And Akash Sir your today's video reminded me all what my father told me before leaving Delhi. Thanku Akash Sir, u r doing a wonderful job, keep motivating the youth through your thaughts.

This makes total sense. I always tell my juniors to focus on skill development rather than degrees. I'm Bcom graduate (2011 batch), now working as a Microsoft solution architect, in the first year itself I understood that commerce is not the field for me, but continued it because without a degree I won't get my first job. I started learning html and c# online, then slowly moved into server based technologies, upon clearing my graduation (47% in tybcom) I worked as a network engineer, got CCNA certification. Upon parental pressure joined MCA, the syllabus was so outdated that I left the class midway. Joined Wipro right after that and got trained in Business Intelligence Applications. Again because of parental pressure joined Excise Department, it was such an eye opener for me, it tested my patience to such an extent that I quit during my probation and went straight to an IT company and kept on updating my skills. Long story short, please focus on your passion and keep updating yourself, degrees are only for telling people that you are a graduate or a post graduate, it will help you to get your first job, that's it, doesn't matter which degree, what college or university (except the blacklisted ones). It's the skill that matters. One of my colleagues is a Hotel Management graduate and he's a solution architect. There are many stories like these. Please share this video with everyone. Mr Banerjee is doing a fantastic job.

Don't fall into a Conclusion that Degree/College doesn't matter! That room is only for IT related Jobs.

Now it's time for Students to raise their voice like farmers...... Even Students having PHD are suffering......!!

Like farmers, Educated people would also come on the streets Neither the Airport sells, No Railway Station, No Jobs, No Privatization......!!!

Excalty Akash! I was poor in academics admitted the fact. Then followed the same formula after schooling enrolled in IT courses. Started career 19 along with correspondence studies. By the time I completed MBA had 4 and half years of experience. Most importantly with this path I developed the habit of continuous learning. Mantra- Keep learning new skill set every year and you will be market ready always.

Fully agree with you. Me as a team manager at a worlds largest logistics company. We only see at skill sets. In interview we ask more on core skills. Degree is only a stepping stone. So any college is good. If you master the skill it's good enough.

I agree. My career has always been in roller coaster since 2008. I am still learning... Doing courses according to my passion. Thank you for the information!

You are right , CEO of Cred is an Arts Student he did BA ,but later on he followed his passion and became successful.

Tbh, I can relate to this. I appeared for JEE without much preparation and thought of an year drop, but I got into a good college(not IIT) within close proximity of myself with Electrical Engineering as my stream. Not boasting or something but now I am in my 4th year and I have 4 job offers as a software engineer which is not related to my stream. I know I have a long way to go, but I can assure everyone that if you work on your skills rather than just relying on some institution's reputation you can succeed too.

Meanwhile students who got admission but never went to college in offline mode "what is the meaning of college life" "Eat , sleep ,repeat"

I feel myself thankful as I moved in 🇨🇦. I have more off practical knowledge rather than ratta maar in classes

Godi media : Will farmers vote for Modiji again?? Me : Will Josodha Ben marry Modi again?? 😛😛😛

I totally agree i graduate last year and prepare for mba cet(Maharashtra mba based college) but this exam secured all my efforts when i reach i was in 1st slot when i saw paper pattern was changed i panic and stop to think all are jumbled section and all mocks tests all my efforts are flew but now i work on my self learning skills courses and working on my Venture , in July i started my own venture although due to lack of team I've to close it but now I'm working on it.. i advice u go for business even u r interested in job then work on urself so no one can push u down that's all i learn and tysm for this episode wishing goodluck to channel 🌻

As someone who hire and manages teams of web developers (both Backend and Frontend) across multiple regions and multiple businesses both inside and outside India, I totally agree with this analysis of lack of skill sets that really impacts a starter/junior coming into the industry. I really do not think a Uni degree has that much of an attraction to hiring managers/recruiters (like myself), in contrast I focus on the fundamental soft skills that shows ones ability to provide continuous contribution towards a success of a business/team. Upskilling is not a good to have, but is now fast becoming a major requirement in any workplace, given the speed of technological and industrial changes occurring across the board. Even local businesses and vendors had to adapt to internet, mobile technologies, web technologies and working online & remote, to meet consumer and market expectations. So if you do not upskill yourself in todays day and age, specially outside a Uni degree, then you will struggle to remain relevant to the market.

Hansraj economics passout, struggled for job for an year, do not care about the university, find the skill you want to master and find right people to learn more. Started from call center and currently work for a social media marketing company, nothing to do with my degree.

👍 Today not just focusing on problems You guys touch base with solution side Good episode after brainstorming 👍👍

Andhbhakt : Chahe kuch bhi ho jaye, lekin vote sirf Modiji ko dege Modi : Sabash beta yahi umeed hai bas aapse esliye study zaruri nahi hai agar tum padh likh gaye toh samjh jayege ke Mehangi aur Rojgaar bhi mudda hota hai 👍

College degrees do not matter in today's professional environment.

Thank you Badebhai I am currently in 12 th boards are going on ( humanities stream ) that was a eye opener reduced some speculation in my heart regarding good college bluffs.

Sir, thank you for this I really needed this. I have just failed in jee mains with 95.59 percentile after 2 years of hard work but I was a very positive individual then I became Negative. Now from last month after much research I can say if I have learnt something from jee, it was stress management and upskilling thank you. You and sarthak are like my college wale senior. Thankyou

Thanks for educating on such an important topic. We've same problem here in Pakistan related to college degree and job market. Thought provoking video 👌

One of my friend tried to sell his degree to kabaadi wala the scrap collector and get some money. Kabaadi wala refused and said "no, old newspapers are more valuable. I won't take your stupid degree."

Akash I have seen u since your aajtak days and I can't tell u how much iv grown to respect u since ur Deshbhakt stint.. This episode was fab! You've hit the nail on it's head. Kudos

You came a long way Akash! Very informative video, I hope people who always give degree/certificate based education more priority will learn something different.

I had been studying in Government school till 12 but I got 5th position in my state in NEET exam♥️♥️♥️

Take it from a person with a 17yr+ career in advertising & branding; degrees are only useful (if at all) to get a foot in the door in your first job. There after, it makes zero difference from where you graduated, if you did at all.

i can relate it to because after scoring 95.75 in boards in 2018 i didnt get into good colleges of du

In fact in the corona times during online education skill level in the students of prestigious college reduce drastically.

That's very true . I am in class 12 . I am trying to get above 95 percent to get admission in DU

Amazing sir. Dil ke karib baat keh di aapne. I also have programming languages, and web languages in my schedule. College teachers are learning with us about the new curriculum set by the management. Each and every engineer is for himself/herself. That much I have understood. I really thank you for making a video on this type. Thank you very much.

Just filling admission form for btech, ty for uploading at perfect time ✌🏻🔥

I graduated from Bhagat Singh college BA Economics Hons in 2004-07.. That time it was 84℅

I know a person whose dream was to get into IIT Kanpur in CSE department but just few days before the exam he got nervous because his boards didn't go well ultimately he didn't appear for IIT mains exam rather than taking a drop he took a private college (tier 3) and cracked Google Summer of Code (GSoC) right in his first year he was the best coder of his college he did an internship at google(or flipkart) in his 2nd or 3rd year and now he is pursuing MS from Stanford university California now skills matter more than IIT

स्कूल, कॉलेज और फिर कुछ साल State PSC exam की तैयारी....और फिर 10 साल बाद डिप्रेसन से बाहर निकलते ही मैं समझ गया कि मुझे क्या करना है..... ना power ना ढेरों पैसा ना बड़ा घर या गाड़ी..... मुझे चाहिए सुकून, मन की शांति और प्रकृति के बीच सादा जीवन.....बस उसी के लिए photography और filmmaking का कोर्स करने छत्तीसगढ़ से Delhi निकल गया.…..

Learning how to learn is life's most important skill. Tony Buzan

Paying my gratitude to team for making video on this topic. Now days people should understand skill is the key to make a great profession and contribute to the country. Also the education system should be focused on skill instead of only grades.

I agree with you....! Skill all the way 💜

I want to share my life story. I have written my 10th exam almost 9 times including my supplement exam. Finally I got cleared and joined a PUC college. I got throughout of college due to my bad attitude. And joined second PUC in other college and same got failed in all the subjects. I was fully depressed sad thinking about my life. And then luckily mom advised me sun dont worry. Your education or your marks will not decide you faith and future. Your skills and talent matter. Then I decided to join a computer course in jetking. I joined and developed my computer skills. And know I'm a IT manager👨‍💼 in TAJ HOTEL. the sad part is still my friends are struggling to find a job and few are kept backlogs in the degree. Very important topic Akash sir.

❤ your integrity & passion for your work. Our country needs people like you for boost & inspiration 💯👍

Cleared NEET UG this year ( hopefully going to AMU) Medical is such a field where we don't have enough seats plus a lot of reservation that doesn't make sense 🥲 You have to be in top 1% to get a GMC and if you couldn't make it be ready to spend 1crore for MBBS degree which also doesn't gove you a guarantee a lisence cause they are introducing NEXT Just giving information Lots of love ❤️ Aakash sir big fan

With a degree you must have skills, otherwise your degree will not be recognized.

Engineering colleges teach 'C programing language ' in computer science for 4 years where as the the industry asks for 'C++'

Informative video Education is power!

11:18 this is the main problem I think..... parents still think that a govt. job is the best profession ever..... but I'll surely learn programming and web-developing when I'll be in college (now I'm in 11th) anyway, loved this video, it's informative

half hour before my final exam, watching this episode to overcome exam anxiety

I am exception......I am in medical profession ...here degree and skill both matters.

Thank you Akash beautifully dissected.. Out here in Nagaland we've been dealing with lot of unemployment crisis with lot of educated people,and I've learned that basic skill development was missing majorly. You enlightened that outstandingly. 👍 Love from Nagaland ❤

I have done my bachelor's in electronics and communication engineering. My job after graduation was related to testing and was no where connected to bachelor's course. Then I saw there is a tremendous growth in AI ML. I did a diploma in AI ML after that I got a job as an intern in a startup company and I left that started a company named Adelig Technologies with my dad's friend who is an industry expert.

College life is very very essential as it develops personality traits of the students which is critical for their confidence and how to present themselves.. which ultimately really important in getting job (along with the degree).

Degrees are not that important, but they are not useless as well. It depends on what your aspirations are. If you want to be in IT, a software developer, programmer, videographer, photographer, graphic designer, etc., you don't need a degree. But if you want to get into medical field, research, or government jobs, you need a degree. In some cases, you need a bachelors degree to even be eligible to apply. For example, when you're applying for a long term work visa for a job in foreign countries. Even if the company that hired you didn't require you to have a degree, you'll need to show your bachelors degree to the embassy of that country to apply for the work visa. So for people who want to settle and work abroad, a degree is a necessity for them. But ultimately, how far you can go in your chosen career will depend on your skills in the long run.

I am listening to this video while currently working on some of the technologies Aakash talked about.

Thanks for guiding the young generation towards taking right steps in their career, good job Akash!

I am a final year masters student, am on the verge of quitting the course. I am a freelancer, i was juggling both and it created only a lot of stress .. so now, i have decided to upskill myself with my passion and interests and I am happy now with what I am doing with zero stress ✨ I believe in myself and am confident that I can do better even without a master's degree in hand 😊

8:58 Sir in many engineering college across the nation including IIT/NITs when product based companies visits for campus placement they set off the eligibility criteria and eligible branches for their appear recruitment test.....they don't borther that how a student is at good coding/programming is....they might be in some lower branches but sadly they can't appear for the test....

Kitne din bad aisi video dekhi jisme skills develop karne ko jyada jyada importance diya gaya than college degrees .... Great video sir.....💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

RIP, for those people who still think that Godi Anchors are the Journalists......!!! Real Hero of Journalism Ravish Kumar Zindabaad👍👍👍

I am trying to learn machine learning for my PhD in chemical engineering. All by myself.

You are absolutely right. Anyone can get a good job without degree, here I'm talking about IT industry. Because I'm working as software developer since 2019 and I don't have a college degree even I haven't visited any college. You guys have to search about which latest technologies are in demand in the market and then just learn basics of it once you got basic knowledge of any technology then you can join any IT company as fresher

Akaash ji heartfelt gratitude to you for guiding the students to tread the right path in their careers.

Me pursuing bachelors in civil, while I was reading textbook one of my problematic subject related to structural it's syllabus was proposed in 18s or 19s; for a sec I thought at what level today world 🌎 is going now !!. Yes we need to admit our syllabus are out dated

You're truly an inspiration sir. Shine on!

I completely agree with you Akash and value every video you post. College degree is necessary but not complete.

Weldone Akash 👍👍... keep it up the spirit..

This I the one video I want I can recommend to both students and professors on education that what is to be done.

I can tell you the pain i am suffering from, i havent visited my college yet from 2 years, it is very depresing..... Most of the students are depressed

There are some extremely serious issues here which everybody is trying to be blind to. If so many are getting more than 90%, I would just like to know how many of the teachers (involved in all this process) are so competent, knowledgeable, experienced? The system has got into a near-rut by virtue of having focussed so much on 'Rote Learning' and for so long. Large number of those having scored more than 90%, if put to test of 'Analytical Ability', could miserably fail. Quite serious issue everyone is pretending to be blind to.

That's what I have been looking for... Please keep making videos like this so we can choose or upgrade our skills..

Beware: my understanding is that most professional jobs in India require college/university degree.

sorry to say m but am form a business background and just 33 , the Indian industry is not suited enough to even understand what a job needs , we are still so backtracked that the people recruiting don't even have the basic knowledge to question candidate beyond their knowledge profile , we are at the end of the day one dairy farm , there is no way we can beat anyone with the current portfolio of geniuses recruiting and being recruited...

Have you noticed most of the global Indian CEOs are in software companies. Also the skills mentioned in this video are software skills. As electronics engineers we feel like outsiders in LinkedIn. Online resources for this field are so limited. Electronics is one of the fastest growing sector in western countries and China but we are left behind because of too much theoretical syllabus and outdated curriculum.

I actually completely agree with u... (I am not boasting, just sharing experience here) College students many times don't get any work even after masters or have to literally pay themselves to work... But I got internships in my school days itself bcz I learnt those skills which r required!

Honestly sir, ek middle class bacche ko govt job naa milna hurts his parents more than seeing their only child die. That's why youth wants a govt job at expense of their own dreams and passion and is ready to cross any limit.

Salute to those two tolerant bodyguards.... Who stood behind Modi silently without laughing Staying and listening to the speech.....!! 😂😂😂

I am currently in 10th.Deshbhakt really guided me though this like a big b

Being a Delhi University student i completely felt the video!!

Thank you bhai.. Mera neet next year hai . Thanks for this advice ❤
