It will elevate students’ career prospects and their lifetime earning potential and will prepare them for the jobs that are yet to be imagined. We live in a time where technology plays an important role in many aspects of life, and so the many skills which will be provided with the degrees in these two subjects will be in high demand.
The growth of Information Technology (IT) has resulted in more change to human society in the last decade than in the last century combined. It’s also possible that the next 10-15 years will bring about more change to the world than seen throughout the entirely of human history. We live in a society that consumes content-whether that be news, information, entertainment, or communication through screens. In nut shell, it can be said that we are in a digital age driven by computer science in which businesses are increasingly relying on software programs to deliver, to acquire and transmit data across a multitude of platforms. This trend impacts all industries, from healthcare and banking to transportation and accounting. Even household objects that have been around for decades such as refrigerators, door locks and microwave ovens, are now becoming smart, connecting to personal assistants and Wi-Fi networks. We will have a variety of specializations in these branches which will enable the students to have knowledge of variety of specializations and roles, such as:
Software developer; computer system analyst; IT manager; Computer network architect; Mobile application designer; Research and Development Scientist; Computer Scientist; Artificial intelligence and machine learning engineer, etc., to mention only a few.

Newly established Surajmal University proposes to start the teaching of nursing and paramedical courses in the first phase itself as we the University feels that Nursing is a health care branch focused, not on direct medical techniques, but on the care of individuals, families, and communities who are unwell or in need of help, so they may maintain health and quality of life. By getting trained here, they will help patients in their lowest and most vulnerable moments and will be there to support them throughout the recovery period. Nurses are essential for the proper functioning of healthcare systems. They help with administering drugs and treatments, support patients who deal with physical and emotional pain and can provide comfort to the worried families and loved ones. The nurse profession is in high demand. In many countries, open positions for Nursing professionals are not filled, even if many students choose this academic and career path. The best part about the medical knowledge and skills they will develop during the course of this Nursing degree is that they can apply them in other countries also. Nurses also have the freedom to choose where they want to work:
- public hospitals
- private clinics
- nursing homes
- military bases
- schools
What will be the use of this study, can be understood under following three heads-
- Exciting field of work: as careers go, nursing is rather challenging. So instead of another typical day at the office, their work environment is more adrenaline-filled, a challenging and vibrant affair. As a profession, nursing is required by most people, which means that missions abroad can be common-place. Extrapolating skills to numerous different settings is sure to provide them with the excitement of their future field of work.
- Diversity: the working field of nurses is diverse and they can work anywhere. A nursing degree can be in midwifery, palliative care, school nursing, children's or adult nursing and many more.
- Transferrable skills: nursing offers training in complex medical care. By studying nursing, the ability to save lives can be transferred to everyday scenarios, making them an asset to their family and society as a whole.
Finally, it can be said that Nursing is a broad discipline and can have specializations also-
- Midwifery Nursing
- Anesthesia Nursing
- Mental Health Nursing
- Adult Nursing
- Pediatric Nursing
Paramedical courses are being started in the University as they can assist the medical field professionals trained in pre-medical emergency treatment, medical assistance, diagnostic technology training, etc. Paramedics offer a wide range of courses to choose from in different sectors of the medical field. In contrast to the typical MBBS degree, paramedical courses are profession-oriented medical training courses that enable students to develop a career in the medical industry in a short amount of time and at a low cost. Paramedics are literally life-savers in life-threatening situations. They are usually the first to provide emergency care to those in need or in any medical help. They are very important because they are the first medical responder to an emergency situation. They are very important because they are the first medical responder to an emergency situation. In fact, they are well-trained to handle a situation that can be traumatic. They can respond to 911 calls for emergency medical assistance, such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) or bandaging a wound. They can assess a patient’s condition and determine a course of treatment, provide first-aid treatment or life support care to sick or injured patients. All the health care workers other than physicians, dentists and nurses who have special training in the performance of supportive health care tasks can be put under paramedics Examples are the emergency medical technician, audiologist, and radiological technologist. Also called allied health personnel.
Types of Paramedics
- Qualified Paramedics. …
- Mobile Intensive Care Ambulance (MICA) Paramedics. …
- Air Ambulance Paramedics. …
- Ambulance Community Officers. …
- Bicycle Response Paramedics. …
- Clinical Instructors. …
