University of Coimbra Stops Serving Beef in an Effort to Combat the Climate Crisis

Bachelor of Arts (BA) remains India’s most popular undergraduate course

Quartz reports that India’s youth continues to pursue generic Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree, even though it barely offers a perspective for finding a job.

According to the All India Survey of Higher Education (AISHE), 9.34 million students are currently enrolled at BA programs in the country.

Sumit Kumar, vice-president at TeamLease Skill University, said: “Traditionally, non-technical courses don’t offer internships.

Hence, lack of exposure to real work in courses like BA churns out unemployable candidates.”

Shantanu Rooj, chief executive officer and founder of Schoolguru Eduserve, an online learning company, added:

“In absence of proper guidance, a large number of students get stuck in the age-old BA/BCom courses with low-level equilibrium and then struggle to get to their first jobs.”

Youth Time magazine has conducted a research project to identify the most popular college majors in 10 countries around the globe.
