1. I am in XII Science and want to know, what is the work of an Air Traffic Controller? And if there is any training institution where one could train to be an air traffic controller and what is the eligibility for admission?
Vikas Verma, Indira Nagar
Ans. ATCs control and monitor the movements of aircraft taking off, landing and when en route in designated controlled airspace. An aircraft leaving a controller’s area of responsibility is coordinated with the next ATC unit. Pilots of aircraft are in two way radio communication with controllers from the time they request permission to start engines until the engines stop at their destination.
The position of air traffic controller is not filled up on the basis of any specific professional training programme. As per eligibility criteria laid down by Airport Authority of India or the defence services, ATCs are selected and then sent on for training in house.

3.
What scope does biotechnology postgraduate offer?
Sonu, Indira Nagar
Ans. Since the course would cover study of Biochemistry, Genetics, Microbiology, Biophysics, Bioprocess and Biochemical engg, etc., the main industrial areas of employment are fermentation, waste water systems management, antibiotic production, animal and human food production. Most placement positions with good prospects for growth would require at least a PhD so you must be prepared for long years of academic pursuit and be interested in work related to further research and applications.
4. I have passed 12th ( Science). I want to pursue a career in jewellery designing. What does the work involve?
Kapil, Indira Nagar
Ans. Jewellery design is, perhaps, the only sphere of design that requires such an extremely high degree of skill and attention to detail. Jewellery designers use their artistic ability to create new designs for various types of clients and markets. They may also design the jewellery according to specifications of individual customers. They either work on their own or freelance. Permanent employment may be with export or designer houses or in small exclusive set ups.
