One needs to understand and prepare for the sector where there is a need and demand for specialized professionals. The real estate sector is one of the most globally recognized sectors.

So, what Chartered accountants are to the accounting profession, RICS is to the world of real estate and construction and is the leading chartered professional qualification globally and a passport for a global career. To become a Member of the RICS, the first step is an RICS accredited degree and the RICS School of Built environment, Amity University accredited courses (these are the only RICS accredited courses in India) where RICS itself is providing its expertise in helping the university deliver these programs. Once you have an RICS accredited degree, you need a minimum of 2 years of professional experience to be eligible to apply to become a Member of the RICS. After that, if you qualify in the Assessment of Professional Competence (APC) conducted by the RICS, you would become an RICS member (MRICS), the world's leading professional qualification and join an elite community of the top real estate and construction professionals around the world. RICS is also the leading standard-setting body and around the world, our standards are followed by the professionals we qualify.

Education 4.0 is the future of learning and aligns with Industry 4.0's requirements (4th Industrial revolution). According to the World Economic Forum, disruptive technologies and automation are driving Industry 4.0. Jobs will be handled increasingly by technology, and human skills and EQ will be required for the new range of industrial roles. Competency-based education, rather than knowledge-based education, will be required in Education 4.0. It must be demand-driven rather than supply-driven. The ultimate objective is to increase productivity and competitiveness.
