Politics as a Career Option

As India is progressing to be a global superpower, it needs leaders who are proactive, capable and knowledgeable to handle the utmost challenges of politics.

Today’s political environment demands knowledge and skills to handle Foreign Policy, Political Economy, International Relations, Public Policy, Constitution, Five Tier Structure and grass root politics required to win the elections, election management, constituency development, etc.

The political leaders in their active public life are concerned with developmental work/social work focusing on the betterment of masses. They require trained/skilled manpower to assist them in many of these endeavours like – Policy Associates, Legislative Research, Political Analyst, Political Strategist, Election Consultants, Constituency Managers, Campaign Managers, Public Relation officer, Social Media analyst, etc. All these positions require good analytical skills, research aptitude, managerial expertise, leadership, communication skills and decision-making ability.

Prof. Rahul V. Karad, Founder & Dean MIT School of Government stated, "MAEER’S MIT School of Government is dedicated to the task of imparting leadership training to the youth of India, desirous of making a career in Politics".

Many professionals working for various government offices/projects make excellent money and enjoy security in their positions. Think tanks and private firms also provide job opportunities, although the pay in such cases may vary and depend more on the grants received and the group's political affiliations. These professionals represent the country in international forums, indulging in debates of grave importance, having meetings with international leaders, passing of bills in parliament, etc. They assist in resolving the internal problems to help the nation become stable and progressive other than bettering relations with other nations. 

As professionals strive to work for a corporate organisation to enhance its brand equity, maintain a healthy balance sheet, derive a good customer feedback, politicians do so for their respective political parties and constituency.

MIT School of Government, Pune established in 2005, is an institute dedicated to provide experiential learning and training to the young, dynamic leaders of India to take up challenging positions and leadership roles in the democratic fabric of the nation.
