An applicant must understand that writing a resume for an MBA application is very different from one you would write for a job application specific to some industry. So one must understand that there are certain things which need to be left out while framing the resume. Students of MBA must be versatile as a business degree requires you to do a lot of things. Technical skills don't contain much weightage here and your communication and persuasion competencies are more important. So a business school application must include your leadership qualities and places where you lead a certain group. Foreign language skills, international travel and time living abroad are also important for a business school. As confidence is the key here, experiences like these enhance the experience of the person and make him/her more confident.

The art of applying to colleges is a necessary skill to learn. One must know how and when to apply to a particular college. Timing and awareness is very necessary to avoid any mistakes. Here are some tips to ensure that you are on the right track-
Teaching social emotional learning in schools ensures the overall emotional building of a student's emotional character. Introduction of emotional awareness early on makes it more internalised in a child. Many schools start this process from kindergarten and they focus on majorly five skills- self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills and responsible decision-making. Now these skills are taught in schools to different age groups through methods that are appropriate according to their age. For example in kindergarten students learn to describe themselves and their characteristics. They learn to label their feelings and learn how to accept staying away from home. By the time they reach fifth standard, they learn about how to communicate and vent their negative feelings, using calming strategies and avoiding bullying and stereotypes. High school students tend to be the most difficult group to deal with in these situations.
The CGHE held a meeting to discuss the prospects regarding the movement of students from one country to another for study. Since more and more students are moving to other countries, it is important to have a very structured set of rules to ensure that no student has to face any issue while traveling or studying outside of their native country. Issues like inclusivity, decolonisation and anti-racism in teaching and support structures have to be taken seriously by the universities. After the pandemic, Chinese and other Asian students were subjected to a lot of discrimination by fellow students. The amount of racist and stereotypical comments can become overwhelming a lot of times. 50% of students consider this issue very lethal and yet it is not given the importance it deserves.
Since UK has announced its 'high potential visa' students haven't stopped talking about the discrimination this scheme will cause. Under this scheme, students from the top universities of the world will enjoy certain benefits when it comes tos studying in the UK. The top 50 highly ranked graduates will get the opportunity to study in the top universities of the UK with 3 years of work visa along with it. In this list of top ranked universities, there is no university from the South-Asian part of the country. This means that Sundar pichai, Amitav Gosh, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and all the other South Asian tycoons would have been turned down by the UK. Majority of these universities are from America which cost high fees from the international students. This means that there is no place for mediocre or average students coming from the universities that don't feature in the top 50 list. Either you must first enroll yourself in these top 50 universities and then think of applying to the UK after completing your graduation or you must completely forget about it.
