Why you should go for a career oriented course after graduation | IRTE

 The ultimate aim of choosing an appropriate post graduate course, whether academic or skill development should be based upon your interest in how you would like to see your employability in jobs or your own family business, wherein your knowledge and skills can be useful and well adapted in your working lives. 

Post-graduation study is not essential in isolation but what you want to do thereafter. Naturally, earning your livelihood well enough is the first and important consideration, but as you employ yourself, or get employed: work satisfaction is key to contentment.

Work satisfaction can be achieved from several different factors such as satisfaction with pay, promotion opportunities, fringe benefits, job security, relationship with co-workers and supervisors, but when your job also has the spirit of philanthropy, your happiness would be complete in all respects. Philanthropy is your ability to contribute towards the improvement and wellbeing of humankind.  An ideal working career is one where you have, and can use your knowledge and skills for your own benefit, that for your employment and also for the society and the mankind. You are then fruitfully employed and are also a philanthropist. 

In India today almost 1,100 lives are currently lost on account of the Covid 19 pandemic daily. But soon as we have the possibility of a vaccine or resistance development on account of community spread, these demises would be eliminated. What still continues is the unabated epidemic of road traffic injuries which kills almost 820 persons and seriously injures more than 15,000 on a daily basis. Mismanagement of road traffic is also responsible for atmospheric pollution, congestion, road rage and rising indiscipline in road usage. In comparison to medical doctors to a hospital, traffic managers which include traffic engineers, enforcers, accident investigators, driver trainers, post-crash mangers are much required.

In order to create traffic managers, IRTE’s College of Traffic Management which is the Centre of Excellence in Road Safety for the South East Asian Region, is now offering a unique and specialised M.Sc. in Traffic Management in affiliation with the Maharshi Dayanand University of Haryana. Approved by the Department of Higher Education, Haryana, this two-year post-graduate course is the first such course in Asia. This master’s course deals with related areas of traffic engineering, transport planning, road safety audit, highway asset management, traffic enforcement and accident investigation, driver training, fleet management vehicle safety and post-crash management 

You could become a traffic engineer: an urban planner or transport planner towards designing, planning, auditing and operating roads and highways. 

 You could specialise in fleet management for companies operating large fleets of vehicles. There is a need of accident investigators who can work as independent consultants, or serve in insurance companies. Though traffic enforcement is the job of the police, but as you can see the police is hardly trained to do this job, you could specialise in this subject even while working in large corporates who have large fleets, factories and warehouses which accommodate internal traffic.

The country needs teachers, researchers, professors and even road safety consultants. Why not think of starting a driver training school, because the country issues almost 25 million driving licenses each year, and new drivers have hardly an opportunity to learn driving in the proper and scientific manner as proposed under the legislation.

 Post-Accident management and rehabilitation is yet another area to consider.

The M.Sc. in Traffic Management which is the only excusive post graduate course in Asia, is an opportunity for serving officers, engineers, whether IPS or even IAS.

Your job in service or as your own consultancy or business would not only be earning your livelihood, but also contribute to the society and mankind, giving you the pleasure to be a philanthropist as well. 

The College of Traffic Management is situated on the Surajkund Badhkal Road, adjacent to the Manav Rachna University, in Faridabad in the National Capital Region of Delhi.
