Shiksha Top Questions

The role of ethical hackers is to check the vulnerability of the system's software from foreign attack. An ethical hacker is a computer and network expert who attacks a security system on behalf of its owners, seeking vulnerabilities that a malicious hacker could exploit. These types of hacking is said to be ethical because this hacking is done by the consent of owners to check its intrinsic and extrinsic security. According to the report by CNBC, India requires more than 150,000 ethical hackers, but currently, India is able to produce 25000 -30,000 only. Since today's unethical hackers are more qualified and trained, you also must have to be skilled to cope with them. An ethical hacker also should have a basic understanding of TCP/IP protocols such as SMTP, ICMP and HTTP. To conclude, there is huge demand and need of Skilled Ethical hackers in India. Provided you must have to choose your success path wisely. Thank you.

Two different domains that cannot be compared. It's like comparing apples and oranges. While software testing involves finding errors in a software programme and ensuring it delivers to certain benchmarks, networking involves setting up, administration and management of a network infrastructure. Both have their pros and cons. While networking has been in the market for a long time, it provides an evergreen job opportunity with, however, not-so-decent salary package. On the other hand, Software Testing ensures a better salary package. However, the market is currently over-saturated with software testers. Hence, the job prospect is currently unpredictable. Also, both the domains mentioned in the question are suffering from the flak of being taken over by automation, which might result in even lower employment. Thank you.

Computer engineering introduces several dimensions of engineering to a student which ranges from core high - level programming languages to computer graphics to web designing to database management and administration to assembly - level languages, etc. Out of these, a student decides which dimension should the student establish a career in. Accordingly, the student might pursue additional in-depth knowledge on his field of interest either as part of the curriculum or as an additional course. I would suggest pursuing graphic design courses only if the student decides to opt for a career in the graphic designing field. That will help the student to enhance skills to serve at the industry level. If the student wishes to pursue a different field then pursuing graphic designing course would be irrelevant and will be of least help. Rest depends on the student's interest. Thank you.

BCA as the course curriculum of BCA in most colleges of India includes the syllabus of Polytechnic along with other topics as well. If the question is about pursuing Polytechnic in a different domain altogether, then it is my advice to choose a stream in which a person wants to establish a career in and then proceed further. Pursuing 2 different courses in different domains rarely leads to something good and mostly results in the career path going astray. Therefore, I would advice to first determine which domain a person wants to establish a career in, compare the syllabus of the various courses in the domain and then take a decision accordingly. Thank you.

Especially in India, there is a growing demand for CIMA professionals due to various factors. So, if you are a student planning to enroll with the CIMA or are a CIMA member already, you would want to know where your career path would lead you from here. It is true that CIMA opens a whole range of opportunities, but your career path is also determined by your attitude towards a certain function, your experience and your personal skill sets. You automatically brace yourselves for a fulfilling career once you arm your aptitude with a global degree like CIMA. The road ahead:
According to CIMA, there is a huge shortage of qualified management accountants with business partnering skills in India. Hence, there is a good opportunity for new CIMA members to bag senior-level roles across sectors. Specialists, more than generalists are in demand, in this country which means candidates with experience in a particular sector are more preferred. Thank you.
