Now, UK and India will recognise each other’s higher education qualifications

KV Prasad Jun 13, 2022, 06:35 AM IST (Published)

 Listen to the Article (6 Minutes)

Summary

This had been made possible thanks to the UK-India Enhanced Trade Partnership (ETP), a memorandum of understanding signed on Thursday. ETP was earlier agreed upon by Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Narendra Modi last year.

Your higher education qualifications would now be recognised by the UK, and India would do the same to British qualifications, enabling a smoother movement of students between the two countries.

This had been made possible thanks to the UK-India Enhanced Trade Partnership (ETP), a memorandum of understanding that was signed on Thursday.

ETP was agreed upon by former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Narendra Modi last year. This new agreement means that UK A-levels and their equivalents, undergraduate and postgraduate degrees would now be recognised in India.

It will also allow Indian students who graduate from British universities to apply for postgraduate qualifications or government jobs requiring university qualifications.

“This is a landmark, historic agreement, which has been many years in the making. Qualifications students receive will be recognised on both sides, making it easier for students to progress in education and move into jobs,” said Vivienne Stern, chief executive of Universities UK International (UUKi). The body represents over 140 UK universities.

According to official statistics, 84,555 Indian students went to the UK for higher studies in 2020-2021, making it one of the popular destinations for students in the South-Asian republic. This latest agreement is expected to make UK universities even more appealing to Indian applicants and is likely to provide an economic boost to the UK.

“We are delighted to deliver on our promise to unblock barriers to trade between the two nations and make UK higher education even easier to access and more appealing to Indian students,” said UK International Trade Secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan.

“The pact is also seen as enhancing the potential for UK nationals to travel to India to study, allowing them more choice and broadening their academic and educational horizons, as well as opening the door for institutions to create courses that can be delivered in both countries,” said UK Education Secretary James Cleverly.

“This agreement builds on our UK-India partnership and removes barriers so even more of the best and brightest students from India can study here, boosting our economy and enriching our campuses and communities,” Cleverly said.

India and the UK signed two other agreements implementing the ETP. This included commitments to create a task force to provide opportunities for Indian nursing candidates to work in the National Health Service (NHS) and to renew a commitment for mutual recognition of the Seafarers’ Certificate of Competency.

Trade between the UK and India is worth over 24 billion pounds, and this investment relationship supports over half a million jobs, UK Department for International Trade (DIT) noted. The British government has secured new access under the ETP to India’s market, which businesses estimate will unlock approximately 92 million pounds of additional exports every year, it added.

CA Inter topper Rajan Kabra is also a blockchain buff

KV Prasad Jun 13, 2022, 06:35 AM IST (Published)

 Listen to the Article (6 Minutes)

Summary

ICAI CA Intermediate 2022: The topper Rajan Kabra, who takes inspiration from his father who is also a CA, said he is interested in blockchain and is taking online lessons on the technology.

Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) CA Intermediate 2022 topper Rajan Kabra scored a stellar 666 out of 800. His family and former coach were ecstatic but not surprised because the student has a history of getting all-India ranks.

Kabra had also topped ICAI’s foundation exam back in July 2021.

Now, he’s all to set to take his first step into the professional world as he’s been training and looking for an articleship.

How did he get here

For starters, Kabra is an early bird. He wakes up between 4 am and 5 am when he’s preparing and revising for exams and when he has to attend lectures, his day starts at 7 am.

And Kabra focuses on sleeping for at least eight hours. “I had experimented earlier, like six or seven hours of sleep, but then I mess up in the examination. So, it’s better to get proper sleep,” he told CNBCTV18.com.

While most people crib about the lockdown induced by the COVID-19 pandemic, a few like this 20-year-old consider it a “boon in disguise.”

“Classes were happening online. So, I could sit at home and attend the lectures of faculties from Mumbai, Pune, and Kolkata. I got the benefit of the best faculties, and there was flexibility, as I could watch the lectures anytime I wanted,” he said.

Kabra explained that the time between the two examinations was reduced by two months, and so, unlike the foundation exam when he stressed on writing practice, for the intermediate exams, his focus was on completing lectures and conceptual understanding of all subjects.

“The institute (ICAI) is not asking (questions in the tests) from the regular pattern. Small concepts are being asked in the examination. So, it’s better to have conceptual understanding,” he said, adding that he couldn’t attempt as many mock papers as he did earlier because of time constraints.

The topper kid loves blockchain technology

The topper takes inspiration from his father, who is also a CA but says he is also interested in blockchain and is taking online lessons on technology.

“I am taking a few online courses and learning from YouTube videos. So, there are no formal studies. But, in my free time or whenever I’m bored with conventional studies, I try to explore new technologies like blockchain,” he said.

When asked why he chose a conventional field like CA and not one of the other exciting professions that youngsters are going for these days, he said CA had been a base for commerce, and it’s the noblest profession.

Nowadays, people do CA and then explore new things like data analytics, blockchain, etc. “I’m just learning the technology currently, I’m not into it completely,” he said.

He said he would do his articleship for three years and then take a call on exploring other fields according to the experience he gains.

What Wipro is doing right to ease attrition issues — other IT firms might want to take notes

KV Prasad Jun 13, 2022, 06:35 AM IST (Published)

 Listen to the Article (6 Minutes)

Summary

Wipro managed to bring down its attrition levels marginally while its peers Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), HCL Tech, and Mindtree witnessed an increase in the levels despite high demand. Here’s what Wipro did differently

Tech giants Wipro, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), HCL Technologies and Mindtree hired between 3,400 to over 15,000 employees in the first quarter of this fiscal but only one of them was able to bring down its attrition rate —  the number of people exiting the firms.

Wipro managed to reduce its attrition rate marginally to 23.3 percent in the April to June 2022 period from 23.8 percent in the previous quarter — thanks to quarterly promotions, flexibility and salary hikes among other measures. However, the company’s attrition rate was much higher when compared to 15.5 percent during the corresponding quarter last year.

The Bengaluru-based IT firm had earlier announced it was switching to a quarterly promotion cycle, effective July salary and increases for those eligible in September 2022. The moves seem to have worked as it expects attrition rates to drop further in the July to September quarter.

“We are guiding that in Q2 as well we will see a further drop. So it will be three quarters in a row where we are seeing contraction in attrition and this is driven by a number of factors in terms of growth, opportunities, promotions, rotation, the technology people are working on, the environment in which we are, the flexibility they have, their belongingness to the organisation,” Saurabh Govil, Wipro’s Chief Human Resources Officer told CNBC-TV18.

He said, all such factors come into play for an employee and the firm hopes to continue with the strength over the coming quarters as it also sees green shoots of stabilisation as far as the macro environment is concerned.

Wipro vs IT peers

Govil’s remarks come at a time elevated employee costs have been troubling Wipro’s tech peers and eating into their margins despite high demand.

For instance, TCS added 14,136 employees to its workforce in the quarter under review but its attrition rate during the period jumped to nearly 20 percent. Milind Lakkad, TCS’ Chief HR Officer, meanwhile said, following the annual compensation review, employees received salary increases of 5 to 8 percent with top performers getting even more significant hikes.

However, in the April to June 2022 period, TCS’ net profit declined 4.5 percent compared to the previous quarter as employee costs and high attrition led the margin to shrink.

HCL Tech too brought in 6,023 freshers during the quarter while its net hiring during the period stood at 2,089. However, its attrition rate rose to 23.8 percent compared to the March quarter when it was 21.9 percent. On a year-on-year basis, HCL Tech’s attrition level has risen by 12 percentage points from 11.8 percent in the first quarter of the 2021-2022 fiscal.

The attrition rate at Mindtree also worsened to 24.5 percent in the three-month period, from 23.8 percent in the March quarter even as it hired 3,400 people for the quarter ending June 2021, its highest in a quarter.

In addition to ramping up hiring to cater to growing demand, Mindtree is looking at the second round of hikes up to the mid-management level, the company’s CEO Debashis Chatterjee said after the quarterly results.

Meanwhile, a report in May said that Infosys also offered its employees massive hikes, promotions and bonuses. The company plans to offer an average rise of 12-13 percent to its employees in India, a Mint report said, adding that the tech firm will also give high-potential employees a hike up to 20-25 percent including a retention bonus.

Infosys is offering its top performers better roles and opportunities to learn new skills like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), it said.

Whether Infosys’ move will result in a lower attrition rate remains to be seen as the company is due to report its financial results for the April to June 2022 quarter on Sunday.

In a research note earlier, ICICI Direct had said attrition across companies would continue to be high and, hence, cost to backfill attrition (at higher costs) and costs related to retention, bonus, rationalisation of compensations are expected to put pressure on margins.

Will high attrition trend continue for IT companies?

While recruitment in the IT sector which was on a roll for the past two years has started to show early signals of slowing, thanks, especially to startups, analysts expect the trend of shrinking tech margins to continue going forward, despite robust demand for technology across other sectors.

Meanwhile, Siva Prasad Nanduri, Chief Business Officer at TeamLease Digital, told CNBCTV18.com “Currently, we are seeing an attrition rate of around 35-49 percent QoQ. However, the current quarter looks to be stable and we are anticipating the pattern to be around 20 percent for Q2 for FY23.”

According to him, to bring down attrition levels further, organisations are relooking back-to-office calls and making hybrid as their work portfolio and are also upskilling and reskilling employees with respective wage corrections wherever needed.

Nanduri said the overall hiring intent looks very positive and the demand in the current quarter is more than the first quarter and is expected to continue.

In a separate interview with CNBC-TV18, TeamLease Services’ Chief Financial Officer Ramani Dathi had earlier said, “there are early signals of a slowing hiring trend but for this quarter, we are not seeing any impact in terms of the number of open positions in the IT industry.”
