₹10 Lakh Fees नहीं! सही College चुने | 12th के बाद कौन सा College चुनें? Degree vs Skills & AI Era

क्या बड़ा Campus, महंगी Fees और 90% Cut-Off ही एक अच्छे College की पहचान है?
या असली College वो है जो एक average student को भी career-ready बना दे?

12th के बाद students और parents के सामने सबसे बड़ा सवाल होता है — कौन सा college चुनें, कौन सा course लें, कितना पैसा खर्च करें और क्या उस degree के बाद अच्छी job मिलेगी?

इस DyWix Studio Podcast में RJ Amit Mathur के साथ हैं Pankaj Sharma, an experienced Education Management Professional with 18+ years of overall professional experience and extensive exposure to education management, admissions, student counselling, training & placement, industry relations and institutional collaborations.

Currently working as Manager – Collaborations at Chanderprabhu Jain College of Higher Studies & School of Law, affiliated with GGSIP University, Delhi, Pankaj Sharma brings an insider's perspective on what actually happens between Admission and Placement.
इस conversation में सिर्फ college admission की बात नहीं होती — बल्कि उस mindset की बात होती है जो आज students और parents को बदलने की जरूरत है।

क्या 90% marks वाला student ही successful हो सकता है?
क्या expensive और visually impressive college हमेशा बेहतर होता है?
क्या degree आज भी career की guarantee है?
Skills, internships और practical exposure कितने important हो चुके हैं?
और AI के तेजी से बदलते दौर में क्या traditional jobs के लिए competition और मुश्किल होने वाला है?

Pankaj Sharma argues that students should not judge a college only by its building or brand image. According to him, faculty quality, training & placement support, student development, industry exposure and the environment in which a student learns can matter far more.
The conversation also enters a rarely discussed side of higher education — the people responsible for getting students placed.

The episode also explores:
College Selection vs College Branding
Why students should look beyond huge campuses and expensive infrastructure.
Marks vs Potential
Why lower marks do not automatically determine a student's future.
Degree vs Skills
Why employable skills and practical knowledge are becoming increasingly important.
Internships & Corporate Reality
Why students need workplace exposure before completing college.
Parents & Career Pressure
Why forcing a child toward engineering, medicine or another predetermined profession can backfire.
AI & the Future of Jobs
Pankaj Sharma shares his perspective on why students should build adaptable skills instead of depending solely on conventional job expectations.
Admissions & Career Counselling
What students should understand before choosing their college, course and career path.

If you are a Class 11–12 student, college student, parent, teacher, career counsellor or education professional, this conversation is designed to make you question how we currently define a “good college” and a “successful career.”

Pankaj discusses the pressure on Training & Placement professionals to bring strong companies and packages for students, while those professionals themselves may sometimes feel financially undervalued. Early in the conversation, he describes students receiving packages in the ₹8–12 lakh range while placement professionals can still feel dissatisfied when comparing those outcomes with their own compensation.
