Justin bachelor in paradise ethnicity

To a Serbian/Ex-Yugoslav band Electric Orgasm!
While I'm not too sure what nationality/ethnicity Dino is, his name sounds more Bosnian, it is not much of relevance since the band was famous throughout the entirety of Yugoslavia anyway, and he's definitely from Yugoslavia, or how they're called now in the Cyberpunk universe, the Splinters.
I didn't see anyone mentioning this since the release, but correct me if I'm wrong.

I got my AAS in graphic design back in 2014. I now have 8 years worth of experience. I'm noticing more and more jobs are requiring Bachelor's compared to a few years ago. Some go as far as not accepting your application at all on websites like Indeed if you don't have one.
I've been doing this for almost a decade now and I really hate the thought that I might have to go back to school for another 2-4 years, spend tens of thousands of dollars, if not more, just to be able to continue finding work in the near future. Especially since I'd like to move up into a management role (I have management experience as well).
Kind people of reddit. Do you think I will have to or should go back to school and bite the bullet, or will the experience be enough?

Hi! I am an international student and would like to study pharmaceutical chemistry. I was wondering if you recommend Queen Mary university of London or KCL (both with foundation) which are ranked higher or is it better I do the normal first year at university Surrey or Sussex.
My goal is to apply for graduate programme at the top universities like Columbia university in USA after completing my bachelors.
I would appreciate it if you could help me to make a decision.

I have an opportunity to accept an IT support position at a pretty prestigious university. It has a large IT department and definitely room to grow.
However, I only have an associates degree in a field unrelated to IT and don’t plan on going back to school. Just a couple of certifications and a few years of help desk experience. Should I be worried about advancement? My concern is that the talent pool coming out of that university would be way more qualified than me. People much younger than me with bachelor’s degrees or higher.
Is this a silly concern? Would I be able to advance into more serious roles with just experience and whatever certs I pick up along the way?

Hi, I’ve been following this community only recently during a health issue that stuck me in bed for a couple of weeks, and because of Dr. K I started figuring out some stuff about myself (extremely grateful for his work and this community).
Context: I’m 24 (F), I’ve been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder in 2019 and level 1 autism sensory disorder a few months ago (end of 2022). I’ve been followed in therapy by a psychologist, a psychiatrist, and a behavioral therapist for the past 6 years (came off medication in June 2022).
I’m working on writing a thesis for my bachelor's degree in fine arts. I’ve been struggling to keep my motivation and stress levels under control, but what I notice mostly Is that I waste a lot of time when I actually feel like I could have a good day and make progress.
I tend to overwork and push way too much when I’m sick, sleep-deprived, and such, but when days are relatively ok everything happens. All of a sudden I get sleepy, I feel sick, random headaches, anxiety, and sometimes even panic attacks and flashbacks (coming from past trauma that is completely unrelated to the current situation). It usually spirals way too quickly and even if I learned to notice, a lot of times I have no clue what to do about it.
It usually ends up in emotional eating (that escalates in stomach pain and bloating since I tend to go for the only few things I’m sensitive or allergic to), heavily depressed mood (even with suicidal thoughts when t gets bad) or mood swings that lead to insomnia or intense nightmares.
I’m still living with my parents and the environment is stressful and sometimes toxic, they’re not very supportive, and they tend to be self-centered. Usually, there’s a cycle of them using me as a scapegoat, pretending I’m dead, waiting to see me getting sick or depressed, so they can show concern, and when I don’t show gratefulness the cycle starts again. I always thought that this kind of environment was to blame, but now I see myself spiraling on good days when they’re not at home, or they’re being nice and everything seems ok.
I’m getting tired of being trapped in this loop. I have high goals and ambition, and it’s frustrating being stuck here, not being able to accomplish most of my days but only surviving till bedtime. I’m way too scared of failure (always have been) but this to me feels like self-sabotage and fear of success too!
And I would love to figure this out in therapy, but I lost hope in that too: I always tried to figure out what I can do to understand my struggles and fix problems or adjust behaviors, but honestly, I got more answers and understanding from Dr. K’s streaming/podcast and DBT manuals I borrowed from a med student than my therapy team. So far it’s been having people telling me I have this and that, take this and that, and a lot of “what do you want me to do about it?” and I just thoughts there were no answers to my questions (found a lot of them in Dr. K’s podcasts and videos though).
I feel like both they and my family got their personal idea of me and that they won’t take what I have to say into consideration. If I express what I know about myself, they’re quick to be surprised as they’re quick to correct me. It got to a point where I got convinced that my goals weren’t my goals, that my personality traits were something else, and more things on this line (a new trend it’s blaming it all on the sensory disorder). After many years of struggling with depression (that never got fully acknowledged) I come to realize that I was forcing (almost I dare say limiting) myself to prove their assumption about me until I legitimately forgot who I am, living as somebody else projection (if that makes sense).
I hope I’m not the asshole here that is discrediting everybody else out of narcissism.
Is there anything I can do to help myself, considering that I can’t afford a private therapist? Feedback? Some podcasts or streaming I missed from Dr. K, manuals, books, anything really I’m desperate to get my life back.
I just want to thank you in advance for reading all of this, and I apologize for the length of the post.

Me personally I think he get very far considering tony have made so pretty op things in various marvel media. Heck he made a armor in the ice age and even managed survived against mephisto(marvel Satan) in the armor. In the avengers assemble TV shows (I think it was a good show) he managed to make a armor out of rocks and took on raptors with laser turrets and a shot from a high power cannon from Justin hammer. The armor did break but tony survived. I just saying tony stark would get very far if Isekai.

Mine has to be Justin Long lmao, he's been in so many horror films and we love him for that. Bro never misses and he plays every character so well. His range is insane!!
Edit: woah! a hit post!!
Edit 2: im so glad yall are agreeing with justin longs title as scream king. idk why but I thought I was the only one that liked him now since the only recent horror film he's been in is barbarian. But, barbarian was very popular so.. idk I'm just so happy that I've found my people haha

This is a "subscriber only" article written by Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press from last month that I thought some people would be interested in.
Matt Land’s phone wouldn’t stop buzzing.
Land was the coach at Dalton High in northwest Georgia, about 20 miles south of Chattanooga, Tennessee, when the Catamounts lost to Justin Fields’ Harrison High team in 2017 in a nationally televised game on ESPN2.
Georgia coach Kirby Smart helicoptered in for the game to see Fields, then a Georgia recruit who went on to star at Ohio State. But after Fields broke the index finger on his throwing hand in the third quarter, a little-known running back of diminutive stature stole the show.
Jahmyr Gibbs was a 145-pound sophomore then with nary a scholarship offer to his name. He was lightning quick and quiet as crochet, and recruiters everywhere took note of his 202-yard, two-touchdown rushing day.
“The next morning by 10 o’clock I had 45 text messages and emails or phone calls, people saying, ‘Man, who is that kid? And how big is he?’” Land recalled. “I was like, ‘Ah, he’s 165 pounds.’ They’re like, ‘Really?’ ‘Yeah, yeah.’ I called my strength coach the next morning, I was like, ‘Hey, I don’t know what you’re going to do between now and this summer, but you’ve got to put 15 pounds on Jahmyr.’ I said they all think he weighs 162 pounds.”
Gibbs packed on enough weight to attract recruiting interest from across the country, and after three college seasons — two at Georgia Tech and one at Alabama — he joined fellow 2023 first-round pick Bijan Robinson as the first running backs to be drafted inside the top 20 since 2018.
The Detroit Lions took Gibbs 12th overall in the draft April 27, after trading down from No. 6, and are banking on the electric dual-threat to help diversify their backfield, beginning this fall.
Gibbs led Alabama with 926 yards rushing on 151 carries last season and had a team-high 44 receptions for 444 yards. He ran the second fastest 40-yard dash of any running back at the combine (4.36 seconds). He earned all-ACC honors at three different positions — all-purpose back, running back and return specialist — during his time at Georgia Tech.
And his modest upbringing left him with a work ethic and love for football that seem right up Lions coach Dan Campbell’s alley. “He’s humbled by small beginnings,” former Georgia Tech running backs coach Tashard Choice, now the running backs coach at Texas, said. “If you think about the character, a lot of times these football players got stories behind them. For Gibbs, him bouncing from house to house, the one thing that gave him life, that made him have a purpose was playing outside, playing football, running around. Like I got pictures of him as a little kid, like that’s what he loved to do as a little kid. He had that in him. The Lord had that in him way before.”
Gibbs has been reticent to talk publicly about his upbringing, but he was raised by his single grandmother, Angela Willis, who, according to a 2018 profile in the Dalton Daily Citizen, became his legal guardian when he was 13.
Gibbs was joined by his adoptive family, Greg and Dusty Ross and two of their children, at his introductory news conference April 28 in Allen Park. Gibbs first met the Rosses when he and Willis spent time at a local shelter, Family Promise, whose mission is to help homeless and low-income families achieve independence.
Dusty was volunteering at the shelter at the time, and Gibbs passed the days by playing with her son, John, his future teammate at Dalton and Georgia Tech. After a spell living with Dalton quarterback J.P. Tighe and his family, Gibbs moved in with the Rosses, who he calls mom and dad.
Land first learned of Gibbs when his sister-in-law, a teacher at a local elementary school, called to tell him about a sweet, shy, athletically gifted 6-year-old who was in a transient situation and in need of support.
Land gave Gibbs a scholarship to his football camp, made him a ball boy and water boy for his team, and built a bond the two still share today.
“(My sister-in-law) just said he was just a really pleasant kid but that he did have a lot of athletic ability but also that he was just really, really kind of guarded and sweet, but at the same time, just somebody that you just knew that you wanted to kind of be with and help, and was appreciative, but was very quiet,” Land said. “It was more of, instead of telling you thank you, it was more of showing you thank you. He just received that, all the things that we were trying to do. As long as there was a ball, he was connected. I think I could have walked out there with a hockey puck, he wouldn’t have cared. He just wanted to play and compete.”
Gibbs, at his introductory news conference, said he “wouldn’t change anything” about his upbringing. He said an aunt and uncle also gave him guidance early in life, the Rosses did “a great job of keeping me on the right path and not letting me get in trouble,” and football gave him a welcome respite from reality.
“I would say it just lets me to be me,” Gibbs said. “I don’t got to pretend to be anybody. I can just go out there and do myself and do what I do best.”
At Dalton, Gibbs did everything best.
He ran for 2,554 yards and 40 touchdowns and topped 1,000 yards receiving as a senior, when he was named Georgia’s 6A Offensive Player of the Year. Land fed Gibbs constantly on offense, and when he tried to rest Gibbs in practice the next week, he inevitably looked up to find Gibbs with pads on going full-contact as the team’s top cornerback on the defensive side of the field.
“I’m (going), ‘Jahmyr, I’m trying to rest you.’ And he’d be like, ‘Coach, I don’t need rest, I need work,’” Land said. “That kind of became our little tagline, I don’t need rest, I need work. And so when he got into games, I just was like — it’s kind of like that great line in ‘Secretariat’ when the daughter says, ‘Hey, let him run his race.’ It’s that thing. Just let him run. Let him do it, and he’ll do it, man. He’ll go as long as you’ll let him run.”
A four-star recruit who Land called “the best athlete in the state his senior year,” Gibbs begged to cover the other team’s best receiver most weeks, and delivered more memorable plays than Land can count on offense.
In one game against rival Creekview, Gibbs had a Jimmy Chitwood moment after Land drew up an inside zone run that called for him to be a decoy out of a formation Dalton almost always used on sweeps.
“It’s that moment from ‘Hoosiers,’ you know where he’s drawing the play for Jimmy to be decoy, and then all the guys are like … ‘Coach, let Jimmy take the shot, he’s our best player,’” Land said. “He said, ‘Coach, run (the play) Brown.’ And I’m like, ‘No, no, no. They think we’re going to run that, but we’re going to run inside zone.’ He said, ‘Coach, run Brown.’ I said, ‘I know, I know. They’re going to think that, they’re going to overshift, they’re going to stunt and we’re going to gig ‘em on the backside.’
“And he takes his hand and he puts it on my arm, and he says, ‘Coach, run Brown and I’ll score.’ And it was so — it was like this extraterrestrial moment happened, and I can’t say anything but like, ‘Brrooown,’ (real slowly). That’s like all that would come out. Well, what does he do? Goes 67 yards. I don’t even know that we got anybody outside. He runs Brown, goes 67 yards for a touchdown.”
Gibbs proved dynamic at Georgia Tech. He returned a kick 75 yards on his first college touch and led the Yellow Jackets in all-purpose yards and touchdowns as a true freshman, despite missing three games with a leg injury.
As a sophomore, he ran for 746 yards on 143 carries, and added another 470 yards receiving. He tired of losing at Georgia Tech, and put his name in the transfer portal after the 2021 season.
“He wanted to win,” Choice, the former NFL running back who also left Tech after the 2021 season, said. “See, Jah was accomplishing so much on the football field, if you go back and look at what he said, he didn’t care about none of that. He just wanted to win.”
Gibbs had his most prolific rushing season at Alabama last year and helped the Tide to an 11-2 record. After a slow start with his new team — Gibbs had single-digit rushing attempts in Alabama’s first four games — he became the Tide’s weapon of choice when the offense needed a big play.
“The Detroit Lions just got the best overall athlete in this draft,” former Alabama linebacker Will Anderson Jr., the No. 3 pick of the draft, told the Free Press at the end of Round 1. “I mean, he can line up at wide receiver, he can line up at running back. He can do it all. He’s so elusive in the backfield, his cuts are amazing, his routes are amazing. Everything he do is amazing. They really just got a really great player that can do everything and be a dynamic threat anywhere on the field for them.”
Yet almost no one — Gibbs included — expected him to go 12th overall in the draft.
Not because he wasn’t talented, because of the position he plays.
Running backs have long had short shelf lives in the NFL, and Gibbs (5 feet 9, 199 pounds) is far from the biggest back. Teams tend to split their backfield workload between two and sometimes three players. Most are wary of giving running backs big second contracts.
Saquon Barkley was the only running back to average more than 50 snaps per game last season, and both he and last year’s NFL leading rusher, Josh Jacobs, are currently slated to play the 2023 season on the franchise tag.
Lions general manager Brad Holmes said Gibbs’ talent defies positional value, and his role on offense won’t be that of a traditional back in Detroit. The Lions signed David Montgomery to a three-year contract in free agency, and he and Gibbs are expected to share backfield reps in 2023, with the ability to play side by side.
“They’re football players and if you believe that they can have an impact for you on the football field then you just go ahead and take them,” Holmes said. “Obviously, we had thoughts of maybe (he would be there with our second first-round pick) at 18, but we didn’t feel great about it and so when we were able to select him at 12, that’s when all the texts started coming in of, ‘He would have been gone by 15.’ Just a lot of picks, a lot of people saying they wanted to trade up. They wanted to get in. So I wouldn’t have even felt good of (getting) him staying at 18. But again, it’s not about just don’t pick a running back because that’s not how we really view him.”
Choice, who coached both Robinson and Gibbs, said he knows of six NFL running backs coaches who were ticked the Lions took Gibbs at 12 because they thought their teams had a chance to land him later in Round 1.
Like Robinson, the eighth pick of the draft, Choice said Gibbs’ unique skill set is worthy of a first-round pick, especially in today’s NFL.
“Because they’re going to block, and they got to run the football, and you can put them out there, have mismatches against linebackers cause they’ll beat them one-on-one in their sleep,” Choice said. “So they cause trouble for a defense because you got to account for them all three downs. And when you can do that like (Christian) McCaffrey, when you can do that like (Alvin) Kamara, when you can do that, it adds a different dynamic instead of just being a first- and second-down back and coming off the field on third down. Them dudes going to stay on the field on third down, and you better make sure you cover them because they’ll break your heart.”
When NFL teams asked Choice who was better, Robinson or Gibbs, he told them it depended on what they were looking for. Robinson is bigger, has more initial quickness and breaks more tackles; Gibbs has more game-breaking speed and big-play ability.
“Do you need one to do everything, be your bell cow to run it 20, 25 times? That’s Bijan,” Choice said. “If you need one to run it 10 or 15 times but catch it five, 10, that’s probably Gibbs if you’ve got a bigger back. It’s just whatever you deem is important for your team you can pick either or.”
Choice said one of his favorite plays from Gibbs was a block he made on a quarterback draw, when he picked up a blitzing linebacker to spring a 30-or-so-yard gain. At Georgia Tech, Choice said Gibbs turned everything into a competition, even running gassers, when he would sometimes hold back on his start to try to catch teammates from behind.
That jives with what Land experienced at Dalton, where he said Gibbs was so competitive “he’d race you to the hot dog line” and a player he never worried about doing the wrong thing off the field. In recent years, he’d often find his now eighth-grade son up late on the night before games, playing video games with Gibbs.
“If there’s ever been anybody come through the National Football League draft that deserved a moment, that kid deserved that moment from what life has dealt him, and the hard work that he’s put in, and the lemonade that he’s made from lemons,” Land said. “That kid deserved every moment that happened, so I’m just excited that he’s got it, and I’m telling you it’s going to be fun to see what he does with it.
“I can promise you this, in two years, there’s no one in the Detroit organization that’s going to say to themselves, sitting in the locker room or sitting in the suites or wherever and say, ‘We took him too early.’ I promise you that. There won’t be one person that won’t say, ‘I’m glad we put that kid on the team.’ Whether we got him at 12, 20, eight, it don’t matter. That kid is worth everything we’re paying him and he will be that guy. He will be that guy.”

(Located in Augusta, GA)
I currently work as an administrative assistant at a child psychologists office and have a Bachelor’s degree in Health Services. (It’s a very broad degree that tries to encompass all of the administrative side of healthcare but it kind of screws you because no one really knows what it’s for) I’m planning to quit my job very soon due to hostile work environment. That being said, my ultimate goal is to go into data analytics. I’ve learned a little bit about it in my undergraduate studies and I find it very interesting. I am thinking of getting my masters in health informatics. I’m currently getting a Google certificate in data analytics so I can learn more about it.
What I want though, is hands on experience. My current job gives me some experience working with spreadsheets and doing some data entry but, I don’t have the opportunity to get further experience that’s more closely related. I just don’t know where to start.

I’m a machine learning professional who has worked for a startup in the past. I’m writing from an EU and UK perspective, but generally speaking, tech startups are very American in the way they operate. This can result in some nasty shocks. This post will give you an honest take on the upsides of working at a startup—and the downsides.

Myth vs reality

Years of media coverage, often written by journalists who have never worked in a startup, have painted a very rosy picture, which I fell for in the early years of my career. The image of the startup is that of a small, Agile company that isn’t afraid to innovate, unlike big bureaucratic corporations. The startup is typically located in a sexy area (like a garage in Silicon Valley); likewise, the work they do is sexy. Your colleagues will become your friends. You can play videogames or ping pong, and drink beers. The startup is diverse, with people of many different nationalities and backgrounds.
And all of this is true, but this is a classic example of lying by omission. Here are the realities:

1. Your colleagues may be from diverse nationalities and/or ethnic origin, but they will almost all be men between the age of 25–40. They are also less likely to be parents. If you’re young, you’re considered too inexperienced to work there, and if you’re old, forget about it.
2. You may drink beers and play video games, but on a Friday afternoon after 5pm, when you should be enjoying your weekend. The other 4 days of the week will be spent frantically working, often with longer hours than well-established players. Early stage startups, and senior employees, might spend time working on weekends and holidays.
3. Sexy areas = high cost of living, and startups are often resistant to remote work policies (despite being “innovative”).

It doesn’t get better, I’m afraid.

Startups and the Agile methodology

Startups like to bill themselves as Agile, which means (roughly translated for non-software folks out there) as doing things interatively and not getting trapped in analysis paralysis. What actually happens is that startups write a lot of untested code which constantly breaks. The requirements change all the time, and not always because of good reasons (like the client wanting something else) but because management is fickle. There is often not much time for a formal design process, which results in poor abstractions; and nobody is responsible for writing documentation or doing QA. Likewise, there was no model review at the startup I worked for.
If you want to learn industry best practices, you are usually better off elsewhere. I would be especially careful about any startup that operates in healthcare, defence or finance. “Move fast and break things” might work for a social media site, but it will be a disaster in these fields.

Are startups innovative?

Some startups genuinely do innovative work that pushes the envelope of software engineering and/or machine learning. But this is the exception rather than the rule. Plenty of startups are building just another travel app, ecommerce site or payments platform – and it’s often a product that nobody wants (which is the reason so many startups fail). In machine learning, another extreme is the startup that tries pie-in-the-sky ideas which are academic projects, not serious commercial ideas.
And there is plenty of anodyne work in startups. You’ll end up doing the same thing as in a big company, but with worse management, benefits, and (especially) job security.
Furthermore, tech startups can often have messianic leaders. I personally find this very annoying. Startups are rarely solving world hunger or climate change, and no, your smartphone app doesn’t count. This particular criticism can be levelled at tech workers in general, not just startups, but I find many techies boring. They talk about tech during dinner parties or drinks, and rarely know much about current affairs or art. At best, I can talk about my gym routine with them.

Management can suck

Of course, management can suck in any company. But startups are often run by people who have no management experience. Furthermore, startups have a tendency to be extremely disorganised.

Job security sucks

Job security sucks for two reasons. One is that startups can go bankrupt quite quickly – they have a high burn rate, and are very dependent on investor capital, often with few clients and not enough revenue to be profitable. The second reason is that startups can be very erratic and unpredictable – and they operate with a short-term mindset. They might not need your skillset in six months or even weeks (!) from now. They don’t have the long-term mindset of keeping employees around so that they can train them.
This mindset results in a litany of problems:

1. Lots of technical debt, with complex systems in production and not many people that know how they work.
2. High turnover is demoralising, and a lot of people decide to leave fearing they will be next.
3. An inability to gain a competitive advantage by building up in-house know-how.

(If you are wondering, yes, I have seen a startup fire an entire department weeks after hiring them.)
From the perspective of the employee, it will be stressful, especially if you have children depending on you to put food on the table.

Is there any reason you should work for a startup?

There are some. Let’s get the bad reason out of the way: while you may get rich, it’s unlikely. What you do get out of working in a startup is lots of experience with a wide variety of technologies, which you won’t get if you’re pigeonholed somewhere in a big company. You will learn faster. And you will often get a stronger grounding in business problems (if you’re a technical worker) or technology (if you’re from a business background). Finally, there will be less red-tape at a startups; you will have greater freedom to try different things.
The compensation varies but I have not found startup salaries to be markedly different from the industry norm. You might want to work for a startup if they give you the best compensation (but keep in mind the downsides).

Startups from an EU perspective

Pundits admonish the EU for having way fewer tech startups than the US. Frankly, I’m not sure that’s such a bad thing. Startups:

1. Can burn millions, yet never become profitable even years after being founded. The startup I worked for wasn’t profitable in 3 years after being founded, and didn’t plan to be profitable until 5 years in the future.
2. Can cost the clients money when their product fails unexpectedly.
3. Most never develop a useful product.

I am leaning more towards the Nordic/German/Benelux model of SMEs. It’s better to start small, serving a niche, and then expand, than to attempt something grandiose.

I'm currently in year 12 (last year of highschool in Australia) , and I was wondering if anyone has graduated- or has any experiences with the Academy of Interactive Entertainment, the campus in either Melbourne or any other one. Most opinions on this university seem to be kinda outdated and posted years ago, so I was wondering if there was any fresh perspective. To provide some context, I'm thinking of doing the bachelor of game art and animation :)

I am an active duty Marine who works in the engineering field, would like to start online college to get my bachelors in Mechanical Engineering. Which colleges would be a good choice?

The government of India introduced the New Education Policy (NEP) in 2020, which set the ball rolling to make education much more accessible, inclusive and holistic for students of the country. Some big changes were announced and smaller changes introduced to ensure the youngest generation could freely explore their aptitudes and interests, the number of dropouts would reduce, and the Gross Enrollment Ratio would touch 100% by 2030.
As the schools and authorities make arrangements to incorporate the recommendations placed by NEP 2020, here is how the changes would affect the future of education in India.
​
● The Structure of 5+3+3+4
Until now, students were following the 10+2 structure of education, wherein they needed to complete 10 years of secondary and 2 years of higher secondary education in school. The 5+3+3+4 structure makes it mandatory for children to precede the 12 years of schooling with 3 years of Anganwadi or preschool experience. The policy also mentions the ages at which these stages of 5+3+3+4 will be applicable.
​

• 3 to 8 years of age - Preschool up to class 2
• 8 to 11 years of age - Class 3 to 5
• 11 to 14 years of age - Class 6 to 8
• 14 to 18 years of age - Class 9 to 12
• Emphasis on Mother Tongue

The National Education Policy wants students to be more connected to their roots. It has thus recommended using the mother tongue or regional language as the main medium of education until class 5. Previously, students would follow the common medium of education decided by the schools, which would be English, Hindi, or other regional languages depending on the location.
​

• Vocational Education and Internships

The government has emphasised promoting vocational education from class 6 so students can learn hands-on, job-ready skills from a young age. The policy has integrated vocational education into the mainstream and ensures there is no difference between vocational and academic education. Students will undergo internships to work on their skills in a professional setting.
​

• University Education - Now Longer

The undergraduate courses will become 4 years long instead of 3 years. Moreover, certifications have been introduced, which students will receive upon completing a certain length of training. If students complete 1 year of their course, they will get a certificate and completing 2 years will give them a diploma. Completing 3 years will grant them the degree, and finishing 4 years will get them a bachelor's with research.
​

• Multidisciplinary Learning At School

Recognising that the job market requires students to be proficient in a wide range of skills, NEP 2020 has recommended blurring the lines between Science, Arts and Commerce. Students will be able to select the subject combination of their choice and work on multidisciplinary projects. It will also encourage students to choose subjects, catering to their interests and aptitudes based on the career they want to pursue.
​

• Critical Thinking and Application Based Learning

One of the major changes NEP 2020 has introduced is introducing competency-based questions in board examinations to ensure students have a conceptual understanding of topics to ensure they can use them in a wide range of scenarios, promoting application-based learning. The policy wants to promote critical thinking skills among students and minimise rote learning.
​
