If you go by the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.ugc.ac.in/">UGC</a> listing, there are only about 578 universities in the country, while the institutions with degree granting powers number over 674. In the wide and complex education system that the country boasts of, a range of institutions exist in the margins of educational system, and some of them do exceptionally good work. How many of us know that <a target="_blank" href="http://www.cecri.res.in">CECRI</a>, Karaikudi offers an excellent B.Tech programme in Electrochemical Engineering or <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nitttrc.ac.in/">NITTRs</a> offer interesting M.Tech and PhD programmes which are heavily subsidised? About 127 such gems exist in the country. <br /> <br /> Multiplicity of institutions and their penchant for working at cross purposes has been one of the identified lacuna in the Indian governance system. But one inadvertent benefit of such a system is that in addition to the large university system that the Ministry of Human Resources Development oversees, the country can also boast of a parallel stream of good institutions set up under the jurisdiction of different central ministries as well as state governments with some of them doing pioneering research work.  <br /> <br /> Though the different arms of Government of India have set up amongst themselves over 200 institutions, we focus on only those which offer  some educational programmes. <br /> <br /> <em><strong>Here are some of the hidden gems we discovered…</strong></em></p> <table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" width="500"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <p><strong><br /> AGRICULTURE</strong><br /> <br /> <a target="_self" href="http://www.careers360.com/news/9669-agriculture-and-Allied-Sciences"><img border="1" alt="" width="160" height="115" src="/careers360_cms/newsimages/image/MARCH%202013/genetic-engineering.jpg" /></a></p> <p>From fisheries to horticulture, these institutions form the core of the agricultural research backbone of the country. <a target="_self" href="http://www.careers360.com/news/9669-agriculture-and-Allied-Sciences"><strong>Read more...</strong></a></p> </td> <td> <p> <br /> <strong>INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY</strong><br /> <br /> <a target="_self" href="http://www.careers360.com/news/9671-new-ways-of-computing"><img alt="" width="160" height="115" src="/careers360_cms/newsimages/image/MARCH%202013/computing.jpg" /></a></p> <p>With courses on super computing, cloud sourcing, ethical hacking, the IT institutes are teaching new ways of computing! <a target="_self" href="http://www.careers360.com/news/9671-new-ways-of-computing"><strong>Read more...</strong></a></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p><strong><br /> HEALTH CARE & MEDICINE<br /> <br /> </strong> <a target="_self" href="http://www.careers360.com/news/9672-novel-means-to-cure"><img alt="" align="bottom" width="160" height="115" src="/careers360_cms/newsimages/image/MARCH%202013/medicine.jpg" /></a><br /> <br /> Various courses in yoga, rehabilitation, mental health, critical care provides trained manpower for the betterment of the society. <a target="_self" href="http://www.careers360.com/news/9672-novel-means-to-cure"><strong>Read more...</strong></a></p> </td> <td> <p><strong><br /> PURE SCIENCE <br /> <br /> </strong><a target="_self" href="http://www.careers360.com/news/9683-curious-about-nature"><img alt="" width="160" height="115" src="/careers360_cms/newsimages/image/MARCH%202013/scientific-innovation.jpg" /></a></p> <p>Galaxy, space, genes, subatomic particles, the science that governs our nature is of concern in these institutes labs. <a target="_self" href="http://www.careers360.com/news/9683-curious-about-nature"><strong>R</strong></a><a target="_self" href="http://www.careers360.com/news/9683-curious-about-nature"><strong>ead more..</strong></a></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p><strong>LANGUAGES</strong><br /> <strong><br /> </strong><a target="_self" href="http://www.careers360.com/news/9695-art-of-communication"><img alt="" width="160" height="115" src="/careers360_cms/newsimages/image/march/Art-of-communication.jpg" /></a></p> <p>Indian languages have a range of opportunities from translation to technology.

The institutions are primarily set up at three levels.  (a) Those which are completely funded by the respective ministries at the central level; almost all agricultural research institutions or the <a href="http://www.csir.res.in" target="_blank">CSIR</a> labs come under this category. (b) Institutions that are seeded by the central funding but run by an autonomous society like most of the social science institutions funded by the <a href="http://www.icssr.org/" target="_blank">ICSSR</a>. (c) The third level institutions are those set up by agencies of the central government or the Public Sector Units. Institutions like <a href="http://www.ntpc.co.in/" target="_blank">National Thermal Power Corporation</a> come under this category.

And some of these institutions like NIFT have gone beyond pure vocational education and have emerged as full-fledged professional colleges offering Master’s programmes in design, fashion, technology etc. Training is the focus, says Ruby Kashyap Sood, Associate Prof at National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT). “It is important to get trained at a fashion institute, as it helps to hone the design skills of an individual in an endeavour to address the challenges of the fashion industry,” says Sood. <br /> <br /> The best and the most well known in this domain is the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nid.edu">National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad</a> and <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nift.ac.in">National Institute of Fashion Technology</a>, with centres all over the country.

Dr Darlie Koshey, Director, Institute of Apparel Management and a former Director at <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nift.ac.in/">NIFT, Delhi</a> says, “The interesting part is that unlike other industries, in retail/apparel, growth in career and positions are quite quick based on efficient performance.” If formal education is not your cup of tea, but gaining fruitful employment is the only criterion then these institutions are the best bet for you. <br />  </p> <table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" width="650"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="50" align="left" style="margin: 0px 8px 4px 0px"> <tbody> <tr> <td><img border="1" alt="" align="bottom" width="120" height="120" src="/careers360_cms/newsimages/image/February2013/Samir-Joshi.jpg" /></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <strong>Samir Joshi</strong>,<br /> Executive Director, <br /> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.diamondinstitute.net/">Indian Diamond Institute</a><br /> <br /> "The biggest hurdle, as far as such vocational courses are concerned is to attract the youth and make them aware about the opportunities available in this sector.

Without understanding oneself no nation can last long. Social science is the cake, rest is all icing,” said Prof Shyam Sunder of Yale University in an interview to Careers360. But the nation has not taken it seriously. While universities do boast of Social Sciences departments dominated mostly by Economics, the research scenario is quite bleak. As Prof S K Thorat says, for a nation of 1.1 billion the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.icssr.org/">Indian Council for Social Science Research (ICSSR)</a> had a paltry budget of Rs. 36 crores. <br /> <br /> Despite the lack of funding, India is home to some fine social science institutions in the public domain. This is one segment of education, wherein the public sector has a substantially large quantitative presence outside the university system. The 27 ICSSR-funded social sciences institutions do provide an academic space for serious research and reflection.<br /> <br /> Institutes like <a target="_blank" href="http://www.igidr.ac.in/">Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Studies & Research,</a> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.cds.edu/">Centre for Development Studies, Thiruvananthapuram</a>, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.gidr.ac.in">Gujrath Institute of Development Studies</a>, Centre for Economic and Social Change, Bangalore  offer structured MPhil and PhD programmes, and all admitted scholars are provided with nominal stipends throughout the programme. Others like Centre for Study of Developing Societies, Institutes for Studies in Industrial Development, Council for Social Development, act as pivotal points for research and offer structured PhD programmes with or without fellowships. <br /> <br /> Outside the ICSSR, three institutes do seminal work in this discipline and all three of them are in the public sector. In the domain of population studies, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.iipsindia.org/">Indian Institute of Population Studies (IIPS)</a> offers one of the best training grounds for scholars and is only one of its kind throughout Asia.

First is to impart scientific knowledge to students so that he/she can understand the reality in a scientific way and not based on speculation. And therefore we develop rationality as opposed to blind faith. Our basic idea is to instil in them the values of democracy, freedom, gender sensitisation, caste sensitisation. So in a way the role of education is to develop citizens. We should also give skills which will enable them to gain employment. So our education curriculum should be made in a manner where we can achieve these objectives. <br /> <br /> <span style="color: rgb(255,0,0)"><strong>Q:</strong></span><strong> You joined ICSSR recently. Any work on revamping ICCSR?  </strong><br /> <span style="color: rgb(255,0,0)"><strong>A:</strong></span> I joined as the chairman of ICSSR on April 1, 2011. And at that time the government had set up a committee to review the functioning of ICSSR under the chairmanship of Deepak. And the committee submitted the report. And it came up with number of recommendations. One was the financing of ICSSR - Rs 36 crores for two-and-a-half lakhs of teachers in the country. It was a bad situation. The fellowship rate for the ICSSR fellow was Rs. 6000 as compared to Rs. 16,000 of UGC. Sadly, very few teachers would get funds for projects or conferences. So the committee recommended almost 21 time increase in the allocation of funds to ICSSR - From 36 crores to 1300 crores annually.  We built up the case and the ministry was very positive and recommended it to the Planning Commission. Finally they allocated Rs. 100 crores and that was an increase of three times. Second is the reorganization of ICSSR itself – appointment of chairman, secretary, salary structure. Third significant recommendation is that all states should have institutes. So the committee has recommended 13 new institutes where there is no institute. And every institute must have a minimum of 17 research faculty. <br /> <br /> <span style="color: rgb(255,0,0)"><strong>Q:</strong></span><strong> What are the other initiatives?</strong><br /> <span style="color: rgb(255,0,0)"><strong>A:</strong></span> There are other initiatives - 10 awards in the name of Amartya Sen for the social science, which has been accepted by the ministry. And from this year we will announce those awards. Now, ICSSR is reforming under a number of fronts. One of the important steps that the ministry has taken is the increase in the fellowship and scholarship. For faculty we have national fellowship (retired teacher), senior fellowship for senior teacher, post doctoral and PhD fellowships for those doing PhD in respective institutes. The good news is that the number of national and senior fellowships has now increased from 10 to 20 and PhD fellowship from 100 to 450. And the rate of fellowship for national and selection has increased substantially – from Rs. 25000 to Rs. 60,000.</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>^</p> <p style="text-align: justify"><strong>Research themes of ICSSR institutes</strong><br /> ICSSR focuses on a diverse range of research problems.

Amongst the pantheon of Indian languages Hindi, Urdu and Sanskrit have always had a special place in our public domain.   <br /> <br /> Hence in the public sector we have three major institutions focusing on all three of them. The Central Institute of Indian Languages is primarily a research organisation and looks at literature and oral traditions in India. An accredited PhD centre, it specialises in offering short-term programmes in 11 Indian languages at all its 11 centres. But the other two, Rashtriya Sanskrit Vidyapeeta and the Kendriya Hindi Sanasthan are both university-level institutions, and they come under the public sector only because their administrative control in not with the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.ugc.ac.in">UGC</a>. Urdu has only recently received renewed attention  from the public sector. <br /> <br /> <br /> The National Council for Urdu Language that has traditionally been offering a very effective diploma in the language is now spreading its wings to offer a slew of short term programmes for language appreciation. They are very effective institutions in preservation of language and culture and offer academic programmes from UG to doctoral studies. Focus on Sanskrit as a language for computing has not received the attention it deserves says, Dr Trilochan Sastry, a computing language expert and freelancing Sanskrit scholar at <a target="_blank" href="http://www.cdot.com">Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DAC), Pune</a>.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> </p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> </p> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" border="1" width="650"> <tbody> <tr> <td><strong>Dr Sunita Durangal</strong>, <br /> Asso.Professor, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.daulatramcollege.in">Daulat Ram College, Delhi</a><br /> <br /> "Introducing translation and Mass Communication as optional papers in the UG courses has helped in imparting additional skills.

The National Council for Promotion of Urdu Language has begun a translation unit to bring in scientific literature in this language. While universities like Jawaharlal Nehru University and Delhi University have caught on with the launch of specialised programmes focusing on this domain, these public sector institutions are yet to open their account in this respect.<br /> <br /> ^<br /> <br /> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" border="1" width="150"> <tbody> <tr bgcolor="#ed2323"> <td width="375" valign="top"> <div><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><strong>Language Institutes</strong></span></div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" border="1" width="700"> <tbody> <tr bgcolor="#108383"> <td width="103" valign="top"> <div><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><strong>Institution</strong></span></div> </td> <td width="103" valign="top"> <div><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><strong>Programme <br /> Offering (1)</strong></span></div> </td> <td width="108" valign="top"> <div><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><strong>Programme<br /> Offering (2)</strong></span></div> </td> <td width="103" valign="top"> <div><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><strong>Administrative <br /> Ministry/Agency</strong></span></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="103" valign="top"> <div><a target="_blank" href="http://khsindia.org">Kendriya Hindi<br /> Sansthan, Agra</a> + 8 centres</div> </td> <td width="103" valign="top"> <div>Nishnaat, Parangat, Praveen: MEd, BEd, BTC (Hindi); Post MA Diploma in Hindi</div> </td> <td width="108" valign="top"> <div>Hindi Teaching Courses for Foreign Nationals: Diploma, Adv Diploma, Certificate in Hindi <br /> language proficiency</div> </td> <td width="103" valign="top"> <div>Ministry of Human Resource<br /> Development</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="103" valign="top"> <div>National Council for Promotion of Urdu <br /> Language, New Delhi</div> </td> <td width="103" valign="top"> <div>Diploma Course in<br /> Urdu Language</div> </td> <td width="108" valign="top"> <div> </div> </td> <td width="103" valign="top"> <div>Ministry of Human Resource<br /> Development</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="103" valign="top"> <div><a href="http://www.sanskrit.nic.in/" target="_blank">Rashtriya Sanskrit <br /> Sansthan, New Delhi</a></div> </td> <td width="103" valign="top"> <div> </div> </td> <td width="108" valign="top"> <div> </div> </td> <td width="103" valign="top"> <div>Deemed University</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="103" valign="top"> <div><a href="http://www.slbsrsv.ac.in/home.asp" target="_blank">Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri Kendriya Sanskrit Vidyapeetha, New Delhi</a></div> </td> <td width="103" valign="top"> <div>BA, MA, PhD</div> </td> <td width="108" valign="top"> <div>Part-time courses</div> </td> <td width="103" valign="top"> <div>Ministry of Human Resource<br /> Development</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="103" valign="top"> <div><a href="http://rsvidyapeetha.ac.in/" target="_blank">Rashtriya Sanskrit Vidyapeetha, Tirupati</a></div> </td> <td width="103" valign="top"> <div>BA, MA, BEd, MEd, MPhil (Sanskrit)</div> </td> <td width="108" valign="top"> <div>Part-time dual degree course, Evening courses, P.G diploma courses</div> </td> <td width="103" valign="top"> <div>Ministry of Education</div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </p>Industry-specific institutes: From cement to food tech9694http://www.careers360.com/news/newsdetails.aspx?category=3&news_id=9694<table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" width="200" align="right" style="margin: 0px 0px 4px 8px"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align: right"><img border="1" hspace="2" alt="" vspace="2" align="bottom" width="350" height="258" src="/careers360_cms/newsimages/image/February2013/high-technology.jpg" /><br /> <strong>Photo</strong>: Shutterstock</td> </tr> <tr> <td><span style="color: rgb(255,0,0)"><strong>HIGH TECHNOLOGY</strong></span><strong> domains like semiconductors and chip making are yet to catch up</strong></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p style="text-align: justify">For a nation, which got into manufacturing goods by mid-19th century, India lags the other developed nations considerably in creation and development of new technologies says, Prof Nasir Tyabji, former Professorial Fellow at <a target="_blank" href="http://www.jnu.ac.in">Jawaharlal Nehru University</a>.  The situation is slowly changing and the primary contributor in this domain is the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.dsir.gov.in/">Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR)</a>.

But the country definitely is not so lagging when it comes to producing good science, with the public sector dominating the scene like a colossus. <br /> <br /> The superior infrastructure and high quality faculty is the differentiator says Prof Kalyanmoy Deb, faculty, I<a href="http://www.iitk.ac.in/" target="_blank">IT Kanpur</a>. The most famous of the basic sciences schools is the <a href="http://www.tifr.res.in/" target="_blank">Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR)</a>. Set up by the Tata Trust, it is an autonomous institution under the Department of Atomic Energy. Working on seminal areas of Physics and <a href="http://www.careers360.com/news/9504-summer-programe_mathematical-training_and_talent-search" target="_self">Mathematics</a>, it does world class research and has both doctoral and post doctoral positions for aspiring students. <br /> <br /> Yet another initiative that focuses on, basic science education is the establishment of <a href="http://www.iiserpune.ac.in" target="_blank">Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISER)</a> at Bhopal, Kolkata, Mohali, and Pune. These institutions have begun offering integrated PhD programmes, especially for young students directly after 10+2.  With state-of-the-art laboratories and learning resources, these institutions would provide a certain quality of science education that would only be matched with difficulty by a few private players. Their integrative curriculum that offers a variety of options to the students has come for substantial praise from Prof S R Varathan, a doyen of Mathematics. <br /> <br /> ^<br /> <br /> Two famous Physics schools and one Mathematics school also find a place here. Purists might dispute their presence in pure sciences, since they have strong application orientation, and the distinction between pure and applied sciences is now blurring. Indian Institute of Geomagnetism (IIG), the <a href="http://www.saha.ernet.in/" target="_blank">Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics (SINP)</a> and the <a href="http://www.ims4maths.com" target="_blank">Institute of Mathematical Sciences (IMS)</a> are in focus here. While the first focuses on two specialised domains of Physics viz, geomagnetism and nuclear energy, the last one atcareers360_cmsts to develop original work on computational mathematics and theoretical computer science. It is the increased application-oriented research in these institutions that makes them exciting places to study. And they have great opportunities too.<br /> <br /> But in terms of world class research we are still not up there. And pure sciences research is a very high investment research game. It also demands a long time horizon to provide fruits. So we need to plan ahead. According to Prof CNR Rao we are nowhere in the scheme of things when it comes to being a world class science academic destination. “Everything we do from now on should be geared to taking a place in the top 100 and then top 10,” concludes Prof Rao. A tall order indeed. <br />  </p> <table width="650" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" border="1"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <table width="50" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" align="left" style="margin: 0px 8px 4px 0px"> <tbody> <tr> <td><img width="100" height="100" align="bottom" src="/careers360_cms/newsimages/image/February2013/srinivasa-sr-varadhan.jpg" alt="" /></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p><strong>Srinivasa SR Varadhan</strong><br /> Prof of Mathematics (Frank Jay Gould <br /> Prof of Science at CIM), <a href="http://www.nyu.edu/" target="_blank">New York University</a><br /> <br /> "There is a need to build a critical mass of people in basic sciences.

The rapid growth of Engineering education did play a more than significant part in powering this sector. But the rapid growth did come at the cost of quality. <br /> <br /> The public sector  responded by setting up training and research institutions like the Centre for <a target="_blank" href="http://cdac.in/">Development and Advanced Computing (C-DAC)</a>,  <a target="_blank" href="http://www.erdciit.ac.in">Electronic Research and Development Centre of India (ER&DCI)</a>, Centre for Electronics Design & Technology of India (CEDTI) as well as the <a target="_blank" href="http://niest.in/doeacc.html">Department of Electronics and Accreditation of Computer Classes (DOEACC)</a>. While <a target="_blank" href="http://cdac.in/">C-DAC</a> retained its primacy the rest of them either got merged with C-DAC or got morphed into a new entity, <a target="_blank" href="http://doeaccchd.edu.in/">National Institute of Electronics and Information Technology, Chandigarh</a>. The institute is also known for its advanced diplomas in language computing, parallel processing and software project management.<br /> <br /> But the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.iiita.ac.in/">Indian Institutes of Information Technologies (IIIT) </a>set up all over India, are another set of institutions that offer instruction in ICT, broadly defined. While <a target="_blank" href="http://www.iiitb.ac.in">IIIT, Bangalore</a> and <a target="_blank" href="http://www.iiit.ac.in/">IIIT, Hyderabad</a> were the pioneers and considered the best, rest of them too are doing great work. Their biggest achievement is creating a high-quality Post Graduate Institute in IT with 2-year M.Tech, 5-year Integrated M. Tech, MS (by research) and PhD programme, according to Prof S Sadagopan, Director, IIIT Bangalore. As Prof Deshmukh of <a target="_blank" href="http://www.iiitm.ac.in/">IIITM, Gwalior</a> comments, “We have contributed 31 PhDs (highest in IIIT family) to the quality pool of faculty and have produced more than 1100 alumni who are working in IT and ITES-based organisations such as <a target="_blank" href="http://www.tcs.com">TCS</a>, <a target="_self" href="http://www.careers360.com/news/4160-How-to-get-a-job-with-Wipro">Wipro</a>, <a target="_self" href="http://www.careers360.com/news/4582-Jobs-Infosis-technologies">Infosys</a>, <a target="_self" href="http://www.microsoft.com/india">Microsoft</a> etc.”<br /> <br /> India is one of the few countries, which has worked out the demand of technical teachers and set up three <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nitttrchd.ac.in/ ">National Institute for Technical Teachers Education (NITTR)</a> - one each for North, East and Central India at Bhopal, Kolkata and Chandigarh. Kolkata was the first off the block in 1965, followed by Bhopal (1966) and Chandigarh (1967). Though initially they focused on providing in-service and short-term training, all of them offer ME and M.Tech programmes with specialisation in education. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nitttrchd.ac.in/ ">NIITR, Chandigarh</a> offers the maximum specialisations and also has a reasonably large and diverse PhD programme. NIITR, Bhopal and Kolkata have only recently begun offering M.Tech (Ed).

They get ready for Board exams and prepare a plan for studies. There’s plenty of  scheduling and re-scheduling of days’ time-table as students want to revise the maximum syllabus in as less time as possible. Pre-Board examinations fall during this time. And as the name suggests, these exams are prelims conducted prior to Board examinations. They usually take place immediately after the winter vacations when the syllabus is complete. <br /> <br /> <strong>Test your preparation </strong><br /> Class 12 student Kanika Goel felt relieved after giving her Pre-Board exams as she had revised the full syllabus during preparation. Now she knows what areas need more attention in the Board exams. The preparation has imbibed in her some confidence. The marks obtained by students also play an important role as they help check the preparation level. One can prepare harder for topics or chapters where you have scored less. <br /> <br /> Prelims give students an idea about the Board exam in terms of marks distribution, number of questions and time management during exam. “Call it pressure or need, these exams have proved to be very helpful.

By and large checking is stricter in Pre-Boards by almost 20 percent. “Papers are corrected very consciously by the teachers, giving space for children to clarify their doubts at this stage. It’s serious and aim to bring out better results in the finals,” says Rita Kaul, Principal, <a href="http://www.themillenniumschools.com/tmsnoida/MillenniumNoidaSchool/index.aspx" target="_blank">The Millennium School (TMS), Noida</a>.<br /> <br /> Regarding question papers, the school follows the same pattern as prescribed by <a href="http://cbse.nic.in/" target="_blank">CBSE</a> for Board exams. This helps the student to get already prepared for the process. The paper acts like a blue print from which the students gets an idea of how a one-mark or two-mark questions are like, for instance. Ms Kaul informs that questions papers are set according to the principle of Bloom’s Taxonomy while value-based questions are added on along with MCQs and open ended questions. “Before Pre-Boards, concepts are reinforced. With them, concepts gain clarity and till the finals, they are retained,” she adds.<br /> <br /> <br /> <strong>Need for flexibility </strong><br /> Today is a time when there is too much preparation at every stage. Students want flexibility, especially when it is closer to final exams. At that point, they want to study at their own pace without any interference.</p> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" border="1" width="650"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" align="left" width="50" style="margin: 0px 8px 4px 0px;"> <tbody> <tr> <td><img height="108" border="1" align="bottom" width="100" src="/careers360_cms/newsimages/image/February2013/ruchi-seth.jpg" alt="" /></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <strong>Dr Ruchi Seth</strong>,<br /> Principal <a href="http://www.dpssl.net/" target="_blank">DPS Sushant Lok</a><br /> <br /> “Students sometimes feel that Pre-Boards are imposed on them as it interferes with their plan of study for the Board exams. Flexibility is needed.”</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p style="text-align: justify;"><br /> Dr Ruchi Seth, Principal of DPS, Sushant Lok, shares that sometimes students feel that Pre-Boards are being imposed on them while they are in a half-baked process of preparation. She explains with an example that a student may have decided to study Physics for first three days and <a href="http://www.careers360.com/news/9504-summer-programe_mathematical-training_and_talent-search" target="_self">Mathematics</a> for the next three or five days. But as Physics is the last paper in the Pre-Boards, he or she has to prepare for Mathematics first. So scheduling it according to the Pre-Boards and not the way he or she wants it is important. “That doesn’t always happen with the children. And if you see everywhere and in every school the result of Pre-Boards makes schools worry,” she says. It has also been observed that students tend to skip Pre-Boards and come to school only to collect their admit card for the Board exams.<br /> <br /> So it works both ways. Students who write it get an opportunity to evaluate themselves before the finals. Then teachers also know how to guide the students, which are their weak areas despite the efforts that he or she has been putting in after the completion of syllabus. In many schools, if the Pre-Boards result of a student is not up to the mark, they are made to write regular mock tests before the Board exams.  <br />  </p>NIFT admissions guide: Calling creative students9641http://www.careers360.com/news/newsdetails.aspx?category=3&news_id=9641<table width="200" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" border="1" align="right" style="margin: 0px 0px 4px 4px;"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align: justify;"><img width="350" height="263" border="1" align="bottom" src="/careers360_cms/newsimages/image/January2013/IMG3.jpg" alt="" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>TOP RECRUITERS: </strong>Domestic companies include Titan, Blackberrys and Proline.

In the design stream more emphasis has been given on designing aptitude, creativity and material handling techniques of the candidates. These three components together are responsible for merit of a candidate. For candidates of Bachelor of Technology only one test - General Ability Test - is administered. For PG programmes apart from other components, candidates are called for a Group Discussion and Interview.

This year NIFT encourages students to apply online and save on the cost of the application form, which is additional to the application fee of Rs. 1,100 (general category) and Rs. 550 (SC/ST/PHP). The prospectus with all details including courses, seats, admissions procedures and fees can be downloaded from <a href="http://applyadmission.net/nift2013/Prospectus2013.pdf" target="_blank">http://applyadmission.net/nift2013/Prospectus2013.pdf</a>. The age limit for UG programmes is 23, while there is no age limit for PG programmes.<br /> <br /> <strong>Calling students from far and wide</strong><br /> A special emphasis has been laid on attracting students from far and wide, beyond metros and even small towns. And while English may be the medium of the entrance test, the creative ability component gives all an opportunity showcase their creative talent. <br /> <br /> <strong>Snapshot of entrance test</strong><br /> Candidates seeking admission to UG and PG design will need to give a Paper-Based Test, which has two sections. The General Ability Test (GAT) which comprises: Quantitative Ability, Communication Ability, English Comprehension, Analytical Ability and General Knowledge and Current Affairs. The Creative Ability Test (CAT) gauges your creative and innovative streak through colour, illustration, et al. Based on performance in the GAT and CAT, around 6000 students will be shortlisted to participate in the ‘materials handling’ test, a unique feature to design programmes. Here a material is given to candidates from which they have to make a model based on the given brief. The GAT for technology and management programmes at both UG and PG level have an extra component – the case study but no creative test. All Master’s level programmes will have a Group Discussion and Personal Interview, which carry a weightage of 30 percent. The Master’s in Fashion Technology will feature some engineering questions. NRI and international students can apply with SAT and GMAT scores. <br /> <br /> <table width="200" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" border="1" align="right" style="margin: 0px 0px 4px 4px;"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align: justify;"><img width="350" vspace="2" hspace="2" height="311" border="1" align="bottom" src="/careers360_cms/newsimages/image/January2013/IMG2.jpg" alt="" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td style="text-align: justify;">Design students have hands-on learning. </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <strong>Knowing the courses</strong><br /> While students have some idea of fashion design as a stream, there’s little understanding of other aspects of the domain. For instance, the eligibility for the Bachelor of Fashion Technology, unlike for design programmes is 10 +2 with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics, since this is equivalent to a BE or BTech. These students usually work in quality assurance, industrial engineering, as garment technologists etc. The Fashion Communication programme trains students to move into multiple career paths that combine fashion and communication, that is, graphic design, visual merchandising and retail space design, styling and photography, and fashion journalism. And the Master of Fashion Management programme has earned a reputation in the retail and fashion circles as a  sector-focused management programme. One can work in the retail and fashion industry in areas like international marketing, brand management, retail management and consulting. Students are advised to read the prospectus carefully for a better understanding of each stream, and put their most creative foot forward for a seat at the premier design institute.   <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />  </p>Public and Private B-schools Ranking 20139603http://www.careers360.com/news/newsdetails.aspx?category=3&news_id=9603<table width="650" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" border="0"> <tbody> <tr bgcolor="#E0E0E0"> <td><strong>Admission Alert </strong></td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#F0F0F0"> <td bgcolor="#ffffcc"> <ul> <li>Amrita School of Business Admission open for 2013, <a target="_blank" href="http://amrita.careers360.com/?utm_source=abnews&utm_medium=abtext&utm_campaign=amrita">Click here</a> to Download Application Form</li> <li>Great Lakes Institute of Management Admission open for 2013, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.careers360.com/Great-lakes.aspx?utm_source=glnews&utm_medium=gltext&utm_campaign=greatlakes">Click here</a> to Download Application Form</li> <li>Acharya School of Management Admission open for 2013, <a target="_blank" href="http://acharya.careers360.com/?utm_source=anews&utm_medium=atext&utm_campaign=acharya">Click here</a> to Download Brochure</li> <li>SRM University Admission open for 2013, <a target="_blank" href="http://srm.careers360.com/?utm_source=srmnews&utm_medium=srmtext&utm_campaign=srm">Click here</a> to Download Application Form</li> <li>Manipal University Admission open for 2013, <a target="_blank" href="http://manipal.careers360.com/?utm_source=mpnews&utm_medium=mptext&utm_campaign=manipal">Click here</a> to Download Prospectus</li> <li>CBS Group of Institution Admission open 2013, <a target="_blank" href="http://cbs.careers360.com/?utm_source=cbsnews&utm_medium=cbstext&utm_campaign=cbs">Click here</a> to Download Brochure</li> </ul> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p> </p> <table width="200" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td><a href="http://www.careers360.com/bschool/Public-private-ranking.aspx" target="_blank"><img width="438" height="30" align="bottom" src="/careers360_cms/newsimages/image/December-2012/strip_Download.jpg" alt="" /></a></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p> </p> <table width="200" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" border="1" align="right" style="margin: 0px 0px 4px 8px"> <tbody> <tr> <td><img width="350" vspace="2" hspace="2" height="252" border="1" align="bottom" src="/careers360_cms/newsimages/image/December-2012/IIM-Indore.jpg" alt="IIM-Indore" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>THE ANNOUNCEMENT of any ranking is a cause for jubilation for top ranked schools</strong></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p style="text-align: justify">Our survey of 200 B-schools  was quite revealing. We found that most of them had 30-50% campus placements at Rs. 12-18,000 salary p.m. The value of MBA is decreasing says Nishant Saxena, of Elements Akademia, an employability training corporation. On the other hand, as Merril Diniz cites elsewhere in the magazine, despite the closure of many B-Schools a good programme has perpetual value and there is increased clamour to get into a good school. So should you do an MBA, and if so exactly where? <br /> <br /> Our research tells us, there is an opportunity out there, but not for everybody. We painstakingly went through over 15,000 profiles of MBAs who graduated in 2012 to see where they stand. Even big schools had plenty of profiles where the students are still identifying themselves as a summer trainee, which means they have not a found a suitable job. But we also found profiles where the candidates have moved jobs within a few months of graduating. So opportunities do exist. But grabbing that needs initiative and effort, and a little help on the side with right campus selection. <br /> <br /> <strong>How to use the ranking? </strong><br /> <br /> Identifying a good school matters a lot in the long run.  So our ranking has been arranged in terms of parameters that will help you do so. The input parameters discuss the quality of student and faculty of a school. If a good quality of campus matters to you, straight away look at the residential facilities section of the process ranking. <br /> <br /> We have for the first time in the country done away with rating a school based on its own submissions regarding publications. We commissioned a researcher to examine Web of Science and Scopus to look at what Indian schools have been up to the last few years. The results are dismal to say the least. Indian schools have just about 1356 publications for the last five years, that too by about 177 schools. An average of less than two per year. So if research is your forte, Indian schools may not be your cup of tea, though it is now changing with research intensive schools like ISB Hyderabad establishing themselves. <br /> <br /> <strong>New features</strong><br /> Two new ranks have been added to our portfolio, a first ever alumni ranking of B-Schools and an independent research output ranking. The former critically looks at how the young alumni of the B-schools fare. Ranking of alumni based on their time of graduation is on the anvil. We intend to produce a ranking wherein we will examine the type of career growth that a B-School degree might offer you. <br /> <br /> <strong>Look before you leap </strong><br /> All rankings are fundamentally measures in abstraction. The two years of experience (one year in case you go for a place like ISB) is varied and dynamic. Each ranking atcareers360_cmsts to capture and tell you the value of such an experience based on a set of parameters. They necessarily will leave out lots of issues and aspects. So do not blindly go by rankings. Careers360 is launching  a counselling service shortly to essentially help students take a more informed decision. Read on and look forward to know your valuable response...  <br /> <br /> <strong>METHODOLOGY</strong><br /> Into its fourth edition, we have fine-tuned our INPUT-PROCESS-OUTPUT methodology to arrive at 12 most important parameters on which we rank the B-Schools. We started this year’s exercise too by looking at the latest mandatory disclosures made available by eligible B-Schools on their websites, in order to our large database. This was supplemented by a questionnaire mailed to all the 2000+ schools in our database. Of them 93 schools responded to us. The quality and quantity of responses were diverse, ranging from e-mails containing partially answered questionnaire to meticulous submissions in hard copy. However, some schools which did not meet the eligibility criteria were not included in the ranking.<br />  <br /> This was followed by an exhaustive exercise of verification and scrutiny of the submitted data. While the state B-Schools exhibited a general apathy and diffidence in disclosing data, most of the respondents were prone to overstatement of their virtues. In fact the quality of data submitted in favour of publications is so poor that this year we had to completely outsource the research on publications to an agency. <br /> <br /> This resulted in an exclusive ranking of top 44 colleges that have a verifiable publication record. In continuation of our initiative last year, this year too, we shall be presenting a key to ranking on our portal which would enable a B-School to calculate its own rank and help a lay reader grasp the true meaning of each and every score and how it reflects the positioning of a B-School.  We hope our exercise will help bring a new era of honesty and transparency in the way B-Schools are ranked and analysed  <br /> <br /> <br /> <table width="500" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" border="1"> <tbody> <tr bgcolor="#ed2323"> <td colspan="5"><span style="color: rgb(255,255,255)"><strong>Evaluation scheme of Careers360 B-School Ranking 2013</strong></span></td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#108383"> <td width="41" valign="top"> <div><span style="color: rgb(255,255,255)"><strong>Section</strong></span></div> </td> <td width="68" valign="top"> <div><span style="color: rgb(255,255,255)"><strong>Factor</strong></span></div> </td> <td width="153" valign="top"> <div><span style="color: rgb(255,255,255)"><strong>Parameter</strong></span></div> </td> <td width="60" valign="top"> <div><span style="color: rgb(255,255,255)"><strong>Weightage</strong></span></div> </td> <td width="57" valign="top"> <div><span style="color: rgb(255,255,255)"><strong>Section Weightage</strong></span></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="41" rowspan="6"> <div align="center"><b>Input</b></div> </td> <td width="68" rowspan="3"> <div>Student<br /> Quality</div> </td> <td width="153"> <div>Student Experience</div> </td> <td width="60"> <div align="center">10</div> </td> <td width="57" rowspan="6"> <div align="center"><b>190</b></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="153"> <div>Students> 2yrs exp</div> </td> <td width="60"> <div align="center">30</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="153"> <div>Percentile Cut-off</div> </td> <td width="60"> <div align="center">50</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="68" rowspan="3"> <div>Faculty<br /> Quality</div> </td> <td width="153"> <div>Research Faculty</div> </td> <td width="60"> <div align="center">50</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="153"> <div>Student to core faculty ratio</div> </td> <td width="60"> <div align="center">20</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="153"> <div>Industry Exp & Global Exposure</div> </td> <td width="60"> <div align="center">30</div> </td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#f0f0f0"> <td width="41" rowspan="3"> <div align="center"><b>Process</b></div> </td> <td width="68" rowspan="3"> <div>Learning<br /> Facility</div> </td> <td width="153"> <div>Residential</div> </td> <td width="60"> <div align="center">70</div> </td> <td width="57" rowspan="3"> <div align="center"><b>170</b></div> </td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#f0f0f0"> <td width="153"> <div>PhD Scholars’ presence</div> </td> <td width="60"> <div align="center">20</div> </td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#f0f0f0"> <td width="153"> <div>Accreditation, Learning</div> </td> <td width="60"> <div align="center">80</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="41" rowspan="3"> <div align="center"><b>Output</b></div> </td> <td width="68"> <div>Placements</div> </td> <td width="153"> <div>Salary Component</div> </td> <td width="60"> <div align="center">150</div> </td> <td width="57" rowspan="3"> <div align="center"><b>320</b></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="68"> <div> </div> </td> <td width="153"> <div>ROI (Flagship Prog.)</div> </td> <td width="60"> <div align="center">50</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="68"> <div>Intellectual<br /> Contribution</div> </td> <td width="153"> <div>Research Output<br /> (Publications, Earnings from<br /> Consultancy & MDPs in last 2 yrs)</div> </td> <td width="60"> <div align="center">120</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="41" valign="top"> <div> </div> </td> <td width="68" valign="top"> <div> </div> </td> <td width="153" valign="top"> <div><b>Total</b></div> </td> <td width="60" valign="top"> <div align="center"><b>680</b></div> </td> <td width="57" valign="top"> <div align="center"><b>680</b></div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <br /> <em><strong>Note: We have listed good schools, which did not participate, in the ranking in each Tier, as “Missing Schools”.

While traditional ranking schema examines both quality of teachers (faculty qualifications and research publications) and quality of students (only input quality in terms of education and entrance test cut offs), little or no effort is made to evaluate a school on the basis of a critical quality of its final output, the student who reaches the market. <br /> <br /> It is the quality of companies which comes to campus and the kind of profiles that students get, matter the most in the long run.

This is plausibly due to increased expectations in terms of professional skills expected of a law professional, when they hit the market in search of a job. Firms and corporate sector are not willing to spare time for on-the-job learning any more. <br /> <br /> Professional courses like <a target="_self" href="http://www.careers360.com/news/7709-ca-finals-topper-pavan-pal-sharma-bangalore">CA</a> and <a target="_self" href="http://www.careers360.com/news/7600-after-10-2-ca">CS</a> have successfully experimented with <a target="_blank" href="http://www.careers360.com/news/5195-A-meatier-resume-before-your-first-job">internships</a> by asking for hands-on experience to be integrated with theoretical knowledge during the course duration itself.   education has been a late starter on this front but it’s catching up.  <br /> <br /> <strong>Start interning from Year 1</strong><br /> The <a target="_blank" href="http://www.barcouncilofindia.org/">Bar Council of India (BCI)</a> has made it mandatory for each registered student to complete a minimum of 12-week internship for the three-year course and 20 weeks in case of five years programmes. They have also laid out a criteria regarding how to get started. For instance, one could begin with an NGO and then move gradually from District Court to High Court and eventually to Supreme Court before they land finally in law firms in the last phase of internship. Students are expected to start their internship from the very first year of the course so that they can do maximum possible internships during the duration of the course.<br /> <br /> <strong>Mix bag of experiences</strong><br /> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.careers360.com/news/7972-law-entrance-tests-after-class-12">Law</a> students can do their internship under an NGO, trial and appellate advocates, judiciary, legal regulatory authorities, legal functionaries, market institutions, law firms, companies, where law is practised either in action or in dispute resolution. According to BCI guidelines such internship in any year cannot be for a continuous period of more than four weeks and all students shall at least once in the duration of their academic course pursue internship with trial and appellate advocates.<br /> <br /> Conventionally the internship trial expected to be followed by students is:</p> <ul> <li>1st Year - Trial Court (criminal/civil) or NGOs</li> <li>2nd Year - Appellate court, High Court/trial court (civil-criminal)</li> <li>3rd Year - Supreme Court/firms</li> <li>4th Year - Corporate firms/judges</li> <li>5th Year - Professional/ career placement</li> </ul> <p style="text-align: justify;"><br /> <title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/fck_editorarea.css" /> <table height="94" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2" border="0" align="left" width="237"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <table height="109" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="3" border="1" width="270"> <tbody> <tr> <td bgcolor="#cc0000"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><strong>Is your degree valid/ recognised?</strong></span></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="#ffff99"><em>Careers360</em> launches <strong>degree verification service</strong>.  <a href="http://engineering.careers360.com/degreecheck/degreecheck-form" target="_self"><strong>VERIFY YOUR DEGREE NOW!</strong></a> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> Law students start early with their internships, so that they can apply for more internship programmes, to learn about their profession and its practical aspects. BCI has instructed the State Bar Councils to prepare a list of suggested Senior Advocates district-wise with at least 10 years of experience who are willing to take internship students during the vacation period. BCI shall then publish the list of senior lawyers willing to guide students for internship on its website as well as make the list available with the institutions.<br /> <br /> According to Manisha Sharma, a student of <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nujs.edu/">West Bengal National University</a> of Juridical Sciences, internships help law students during the placements because law firms have a mindset that a student well-versed with internships already know many basic facts. All they need is a little polish. “The internships also assist students in understanding grassroot-level realities which they have to face in future. In my case the PUCL internship gave me such diverse experience, which I have never got before hand,” she says. “It carved out a real,  practical picture of the actual world which we will have to face after completing our studies,” she adds. <br /> <br /> To encourage young students, some organisations provide a nominal stipend to interns but not everyone. But as it can be seen, nowadays firms are paying salaries to their interns to encourage  them to learn and get trained beforehand.

And lucky for him he had devised a Plan B – event management – in case an MBA did not work out. <br /> <br /> Today, Anurag Abraham works as a senior manager at an event management firm as managing events was always on top of his mind. Like Anurag many students may have had to change their career path after taking a break from studies. And even if they eventually find a satisfying career the challenges are no less demanding.  <br /> <br /> <strong>Why a gap year?</strong><br /> This is basically a period of time during which a student takes a break from formal education. In the West, students may drop a year to broaden their cultural horizons and travel overseas or work in a different part of the world. The scenario in India is different. Though there’s nothing wrong in taking time off, students must take note of challenges and make a well-informed decision. It has been observed that people drop a year for two main reasons. <br /> <br /> One, they know what they want to become in life and put in all efforts to clear entrance exams that will lead to their goal. Two, they need some time off to have more clarity of their career. This can happen at any level of study - undergraduate or postgraduate. In some cases, students have found it hard to identify a career path even after graduation and may want to change streams. And we see rarer cases where a student reatcareers360_cmsted <a href="http://www.careers360.com/news/8511-changing-pattern-of-IIT-JEE" target="_self">I<u>IT-JEE</u></a> because he could not get the campus or stream of his choice.  <br /> <br /> <table width="100" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" border="1" align="left" style="margin: 0px 6px 0px 0px;"> <tbody> <tr> <td><img width="120" vspace="2" hspace="2" height="120" border="1" align="bottom" src="/careers360_cms/newsimages/image/june2012/Odile-soreng.jpg" alt="" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td>“A student should be able to justify the gap time in form of a course, work experience, etc. Otherwise it can be a negative trait during interviews,” <br /> <br /> <strong>Odile Soreng</strong><br /> Senior Officer (HR), <br /> Moser Baer Photovoltaic Ltd.</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> “My gap year was a fun phase,” shares Purnima Singhal, a B.Tech student, who underlines from an academic point of view that dropping a year is not the end of the road. “Firstly, everyone wants to be a part of good institute that provides quality education and better placements. So a gap year gives you that chance,” she says. “Secondly, when you prepare during classes 11-12, it often leads to distraction from curriculum and possible low scores in board exams. So dropping a year reduces that burden as well,” she adds. Purnima dropped a year to prepare for IIT-JEE and other engineering exams, and eventually got through <a href="http://www.nitagartala.in/" target="_blank"><u>NIT, Agartala</u></a>.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The journey </strong><br /> Typically, fewer 18-year-olds know which career they wish to pursue. For some, this time helps to figure out who they are before rushing into what they are going to be. Anurag for instance, took this time to manage his thoughts better, study and plan career options. He also shares that one has to survive that feeling of ‘extreme pressure’. “I can or I cannot are the only two options, and there is no place for maybe!,” he says.  “A gap year student must be confident of improving his results by a significant margin and only in such cases must take a gap year. For instance while moving from an All India Rank 50 MBA institute to <a target="_blank" href="http://nmims.edu/"><u>NMIMS</u></a> or <a target="_blank" href="http://www.imt.edu"><u>IMT</u></a> would make sense. A gap year to shift from an <a href="http://www.careers360.com/news/3865-Campus-Management-Development-institute-New-Delhi" target="_self"><u>MDI</u></a> to <a href="http://www.careers360.com/news/7428-B-Schools_Careers360-files-RTI" target="_self"><u>IIM</u></a> is not advisable,” says Gautam Puri, MD, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.careerlauncher.com"><u>Career Launcher Educate</u></a>. <br /> <br /> <strong>The LLB scenario</strong><br /> In the case of law students, gap years are common after a student has taken admission to LLB but not before that. According to the National Law University, Delhi roughly 30% of Class 12 students takes a break to prepare for LLB entrance tests. This is because many science stream students want to clear law, but find the law entrances tough. “It has been found that the success ratio is fairly high in such cases going beyond 60%. It does not have any affect on their placements also,” says Prof. G S Bajpai of <a target="_self" href="http://www.careers360.com/news/7972-law-entrance-tests-after-class-12"><u>National Law University, Delhi</u></a>.  Many students who join an LLB course as a backup, continue to prepare for exams like <a target="_blank" href="http://www.upsc.gov.in"><u>UPSC</u></a>, <a target="_self" href="http://www.careers360.com/news/4043-ICSI-Company-Secretary-Job-Scope-Future"><u>CS</u></a>, Bank PO or <a target="_blank" href="http://www.ssb.nic.in"><u>SSB</u></a> and don’t pay heed to their law course! Hence, they either end up completing LLB in six years instead of three or not clear at all. </p> <table width="100" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" border="1" align="right" style="margin: 0px 0px 4px 6px;"> <tbody> <tr> <td><img vspace="2" hspace="2" border="1" align="bottom" style="width: 131px; height: 122px;" alt="" src="/careers360_cms/newsimages/image/june2012/Anurag-abraham.jpg" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td>“One has to survive that feeling of extreme pressure during the gap time. ‘I can’ or ‘I cannot’ are the only two options.

In a no-win situation, it is advisable to proceed with Plan B. Because of social pressure and a sudden discovery that there is no one in a peer group who has taken a similar (gap), they may feel alienated. Dr Akanksha Bahuguna Kaul, a lifestyle management and a nutritional counselling expert feels that dropping a year can have a big psychological effect on a student. She has seen many students losing motivation or being distracted halfway, in turn leading to regretting their decision. <br /> <br /> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.fiitjee.com"><u>FIITJEE</u></a> Director R L Trikha seconds her observation. He shares that when a student prepares for entrance exam after completing school, he thinks that he already knows much from school. He starts challenging his teachers and so the receptivity becomes poor. “He starts doubting whatever is being taught and thinks he has much time to study. So as per my experience, if you start early, the chances of getting better marks improve,” he says.<br /> Of loans and placements <br /> <br /> <strong>Of loans and placements</strong><br /> Some gap year students have faced problems when seeking an education loan. When you apply for loans, the bank personnel judge how well you can do in your future. They take a judgment call based on the prospective institute’s reputation. “We do not rely on brochures much. A bank has to foresee repayment. So it is advisable that a student takes a gap only if it is justified,” says Satish Kumar Goel, Assistant General Manager with <a target="_blank" href="http://www.syndicatebank.com"><u>Syndicate Bank</u></a>. <br /> <br /> Varun Mangla, who pursued B.Tech from <a target="_blank" href="http://aces.apeejay.edu"><u>Apeejay College of Engineering</u></a> in Sohna, Haryana, is completely against the idea. He saw his friends suffer during admissions as well as placements. During his college time, drop-year students were not allowed admissions by some institutes and many companies didn’t call them for interviews. He adds that instead of taking a gap, one should pursue graduation and pursue a programme of their choice in PG. Odile Soreng, Senior Officer (HR), <a target="_blank" href="http://www.moserbaerpv.in"><u>Moser Baer Photovoltaic</u></a>, explains that when a company goes for campus placements, it looks for what a student has done during a gap year. “A student should have a justification for the time spent; like if he did a short-term course or maybe worked somewhere. Otherwise, it is a negative trait considered during interviews,” she says and adds that BPO experience is not counted as work experience barring a few rare cases. </p> <table width="100" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" border="1" align="left" style="margin: 0px 6px 4px 0px;"> <tbody> <tr> <td><img width="120" vspace="2" hspace="2" height="120" border="1" align="bottom" alt="" src="/careers360_cms/newsimages/image/june2012/Prof-G-Neelakantan.jpg" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td>“Our youngsters should realise that qualifying <br /> an exam won’t make a <br /> difference to their lives unless they have a serious sense of purpose and a commitment for a vision,” <br /> <br /> <strong>Prof G Neelakantan</strong><br /> IIT Kanpur</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Role of parents and guardians</strong><br /> Supportive parents are of tremendous value. Anything less can only have a harmful effect. Ashutosh Rao, whose father is an independent consultant and mother an Economics professor, cracked IIT-JEE in his first atcareers360_cmst and was getting the college he wanted. But he was getting Metallurgy or Civil Engineering as an option, which he did not want to pursue. “I was confident. I turned to my parents and told them that I want to do Engineering Physics. Though they were a little hesitant, they did not show it at all,” he shared. Today, Ashutosh is a fourth year student of Engineering Physics at <a target="_blank" href="http://www.iitb.ac.in"><u>IIT Bombay</u></a>. <br /> <br /> Yet at times, parents and guardians fail to provide the required support due to lack of knowledge and examples from their surroundings. Anurag’s parents were supportive but worried. He recalls that they did not know how it worked, and dropping years were not popular in their generation. “So, it’s not the most confident times for students. No one knows how it’ll come through,” he adds. Experts advise students concareers360_cmslating a drop year to discuss it with parents and ensure they will have the support and understanding of elders, no matter the outcome. Parents are advised to also take an interest in Plan B. <br /> <br /> <strong>Coaching classes   </strong><br /> Coaching is not essential but it can be of support to students who feel that they need it. Experienced teachers helping one prepare might even be invaluable for some. For instance, if a non-Maths student aspires to do MBA, then he needs to improve his quantitative and analytical skills. So, a teacher acts as a guide. Getting the right kind of guidance is imperative.<br /> <br /> However, it’s difficult for students to gauge how good their coaches are. If a student chooses to do self-study with the coaching institute’s study material without joining it, he must ensure that he learns all those strategies that help him solve objective papers like JEE as per requirement. According to Purnima, being surrounded by the other students in a coaching institute can give you the motivation to win. However, Mr Puri thinks that coaching is never important to succeed in an entrance exam and the result is always 80 percent of the students’ effort and at max, 20 percent of the coaching institute’s.</p> <table width="250" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" border="1" align="right" style="margin: 0px 0px 4px 6px;"> <tbody> <tr bgcolor="#108383"> <td><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><strong>Gap year tips</strong></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td> <ul> <li>Stay focused and practise sincerely</li> <li>Study as per a time-table</li> <li>Have a Plan B</li> <li>Discuss with parents and teachers</li> <li>Join a related short-term course</li> <li>Go for internships</li> <li>For 30 minutes everyday, do something you enjoy</li> </ul> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>What's your back-up plan? </strong><br /> There are back-ups for most things in life, so also have one for your career!

According to him, this is because most people are far less tough and resolute than they think they are. <br /> <br /> He adds that if one does not want to drop a year, it has advantages, too. “After all, life is big and if one does well in whatever course or job one has got, that maybe its own reward,” he shares.  <br /> </p>Careers360 seeks Campus Ambassadors!8811http://www.careers360.com/news/newsdetails.aspx?category=3&news_id=8811<table width="50" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <a target="_self" href="http://www.careers360.com/Campus.aspx"><img width="150" height="40" border="1" align="bottom" src="/careers360_cms/newsimages/image/june2012/ApplyNow1.jpg" alt="" /></a></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table width="200" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" align="center"> <tbody> <tr> <td><a target="_blank" href="mailto:campus@careers360.com"><img width="700" height="975" border="1" align="bottom" alt="" src="/careers360_cms/newsimages/image/june2012/Campus-AD1.jpg" /></a> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table>Do all B-Schools make you industry-ready?

One reason could be the growth in the number of institutions. In 2007, there were 1,132 AICTE approved B-Schools. This year the number stands at 2,385. <br /> <br /> “That’s essentially a growth of 100 percent over a 5-year period,” discloses Rajesh Gopal, Associate Vice President, <a href="http://www.technopak.com/" target="_blank">Education, Technopak Advisors</a>.The second probably is the slackening of growth in the economy, both globally and within India. With industry growth not matching the pace, the slow down has hit quite a few schools. So, do all the students who still opt for an <a href="http://www.careers360.com/news/5093-How-to-check-the-value-of-distance-MBA-courses" target="_blank">MBA</a> get value? <br /> <br /> Can an MBA fine-tune you, a raw young adult, to be a top-class performer within a period of two years?  Here’s a few statistics that may shock you. According to Business Barometer Survey of <a href="http://www.assocham.org/" target="_blank">ASSOCHAM</a>, an industry body; barring top 30 institutions, most B-Schools are not aware of the basic facts about the national and the global economy. “There is a void between expectations and deliverance,” says Vinay Grover, CEO, <a href="http://www.careers360.com/news/3883-Symbiosis-Inst-of-Mgmt-Studies" target="_blank">Symbiosis Management Consultants</a>, summing up the general thought. Rituparna Chakaraborty, co-founder and senior VP, <a href="http://www.teamlease.com/" target="_blank">Team Lease</a> says that mid-rank institutions hardly make an impression ‘given that delivery input is itself a suspect in such schools.’  <br /> <br /> <strong>Employability levels of B-Grads</strong><br /> Many top B-Schools in the world, in fact, don’t solicit freshers’ applications. But domestic schools are quite far from this evolved academic culture yet. This peculiar positioning adversely impacts students’ ability to negotiate wages when they graduate. “A student must have prior work experience of 2-3 years and then take a management course,” emphasizes Sunil Goel, Director of <a href="http://www.globalhunt.in/" target="_blank"><u>Global Hunt</u></a>, an executive search firm.<br /> <br /> <strong>Bargaining wages </strong><br /> Campus placements don’t leave much room for salary negotiation. “Students who are well conversant with the economic scenario and have worked in the industry before are likely to be lapped up,” maintains Grover. But their salary negotiation position can be contested.<br /> In a scenario, when campus placements are the norm, pay structures are pretty much fixed by market dynamics. The small clan of experienced workers taking full-time programme usually finds difficulty in breaking a predetermined salary ceiling. Here goes the dynamics: A candidate from premium school who has paid Rs. 8-12 lakhs as tuition fee for 2 years, debuts within a package range of Rs. 7-9 lakh per annum, on an average.</p> <table align="left" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" border="1" style="margin: 0px 4px 4px 0px; width: 140px; height: 377px;"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align: center;"><img align="middle" width="120" border="1" hspace="0" height="127" src="/careers360_cms/newsimages/image/January2012/Aditya-Narayana-Mishra.jpg" alt="" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td style="text-align: justify;">“Many B-Schools deliver quality education, making students industry-ready in due time. But there are also some institutions which are under-prepared to deliver the required quality levels” <br /> <br /> <strong>Aditya Narayana Mishra </strong><br /> President, Staffing, <a href="http://www.mafoirandstad.com/" target="_blank">Ma Foi Randstad</a></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Section norms </strong><br /> Super-premium category providers with higher fee get their students confirmed in top-notch companies on enviable salaries. Companies factor-in various elements before selecting a student. For instance, over all academic achievement, level of participation in extra-curricular activities,  communication skills, presentation skills, degree of swiftness in thinking, decision making, solution offering and so on. Large companies then take it upon themselves to train graduates further on. These are company-tailored orientation programmes for customized requirements.<br /> <br /> Students of mid-rank colleges are paid less and not all get campus-placed. But such facts don’t deter a majority of schools from claiming 100 percent placement. Those who don’t, dole out inflated percentages. Tactfully, salaries declared are also based on average and not median calculations. These strategies are deployed to attract candidates and popularize their college. <br /> <br /> Schools are also accused of influencing rankings to haggle for the top slot. That is because most rankings give high score to placements, catering to the immediate concern of pass-outs. Whereas, several other parameters like number of PhD faculty members, published papers, infrastructure etc., goes in the back burner.   <br /> <br /> <strong>Feeling short-changed? </strong><br /> Most colleges tend to keep their fee high; however, the value of academic delivery is not at par with the fee charged. “The curriculum content has not kept pace with the changing economic environment and the industry requirements,” says Grover. To make matters worse, students are saddled with loan debt. A large number of students take loan for management studies and only have a short period for starting repayment; within six or 12 months. There is a big question mark on cost versus delivery output. Experts feel that absence of State regulation governance issues cripple the sector. Says Chakaraborty of TeamLease, “There is a need to have an evaluation mechanism to assess the AICTE approvals. The <a href="http://www.nba-india.org/" target="_blank">National Board of Accreditation</a> which is supposed to do this job has been a non-starter so far.”<br /> <br /> But in a country where institutes start enrolment even without having a ready campus, indications are that positive interference has a long distance to cover. Promises of self-regulation bite the dust. Websites of most colleges give out wrong information. Besides, relevant declarations are given a miss: for instance, faculty members’ academic background, a synopsis of course module, fee structure, correct placement figures etc. Very few institutes volunteer for accreditation. Business studies can be taken at any age, at any point in the career. High-skill programmes, on the other hand, have a limited entry window. So, the question is; why not enter in time, garner mobility quotient, increase shelf life, avoid burn-out and jump in an open field when the heart desires? After all, all sorts of flavours are needed to spice up professional life!   <br />  </p>Calendar: Admissions, exam alerts for 2012!7621http://www.careers360.com/news/newsdetails.aspx?category=3&news_id=7621<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>WITH</strong> over  twenty thousand different programmes on offer each year, it is impossible for aspirants to keep track of all the educational opportunities available in the country.

As FDI in retailing has been re-looked by the Government of India, the scope for our students is large,” Prof. Pujar says.</p> <p style="text-align: center">***</p> <p><br /> <br /> <table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" width="400" align="left" style="margin: 4px 8px 4px 0px"> <tbody> <tr bgcolor="#108383"> <td valign="top" width="306"> <div><span style="color: rgb(255,255,255)"><strong>MBA - Hospital Administration</strong></span></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="187"> <div><a href="http://www.aiims.edu/">All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS)</a></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="187"> <div><a href="http://amrita.edu/asb/index.php">Amrita School of Business</a></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="187"> <div><a href="http://www.apolloiha.ac.in/">Apollo Institute of Hospital Administration</a></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="187"> <div><a href="http://www.christuniversity.in/">Christ University Institute of Management (CUIM)</a></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="187"> <div><a href="http://fms.edu/">Faculty of Mgnt Studies, Delhi (FMS)</a></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="187"> <div><a href="http://www.hindustanuniv.ac.in/">Hindustan Institute of Technology and Science (HITS)</a></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="187"> <div><a href="http://www.ibshyderabad.org/">IBS Hyderabad</a></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="187"> <div><a href="http://www.iihmr.org/">Institute of Health Mgnt Research (IHMR)</a></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="187"> <div><a href="http://www.ims.dauniv.ac.in/">Institute of Mgnt Studies (IMS Indore)</a></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="187"> <div><a href="http://www.invertis.org/">Invertis Institute of Management Studies</a></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="187"> <div><a href="http://nims.ap.nic.in/">Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS)</a></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="187"> <div><a href="http://www.sihspune.org/">Symbiosis Institute of Health Sciences (SIHS)</a></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="187"> <div><a href="http://www.tiss.edu/">Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS)</a></div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <strong>Caring for our health </strong><br /> While India has seen continued expansion of the private provision of healthcare, there has also been an ambitious plan to increase public funding of this vital service. The result is the ever growing need for healthcare professionals and managers.

I wanted to fit in and be understood. I realised I could adjust myself to be better understood, make friends and find a job while remaining true to myself as an Indian.” </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;">Sajitha struggled for months to understand the culture of her host country and frequently wondered why so many things she had learnt in her life suddenly did not ‘work’ the same way.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Being away from home</strong></div> <div style="text-align: justify;">When we live away from home, we are confronted daily with situations that challenge everything that we have been socialised to believe is the ‘right’ way. A way of approaching professors in India, for example, does not have the same effect abroad. The approach to studying and getting good grades in India could result in failing grades abroad.<br />  </div> <div style="text-align: justify;">So we want to fit in, be accepted, understand how to be successful, get good grades, and enjoy our lives and careers. But then the challenge is to be able to do all that with the understanding that we might still often feel like ‘outsiders’ or ‘foreigners’.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Finding balance</strong></div> <div style="text-align: justify;">How do we balance our enthusiasm for fitting in with retaining our cultural identity? There is no formula other than a continuous process of cultural adjustment. We may begin by thinking of our own identity and the identity we are likely to be slipping into in the foreign land. Where does our identity overlap or conflict with the identity abroad? What kind of stereotypes do you think people of the host country have of your country or culture?<br />  </div> <div style="text-align: justify;">We must be open to exploring ourselves and other’s identity when we are abroad to dispel myths and stereotypes. After all, we do not like others interacting with us based on stereotypes. After interacting with the people of the host country, we may realize the truth or falsehood in our stereotypes. We may also come to know where our values differ or converge with the locals. And we may have a better idea as to where we need to adjust to be successful in the new culture without losing our identity. It helps to set oneself goals both in cultural adjustment and in retaining our cultural identity.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Calling home </strong></div> <div style="text-align: justify;">Remaining true to one’s cultural identity in a foreign land often requires simple things like staying in touch with family and friends back home, finding people to speak your native language with, finding ways to cook your favourite foods, watching TV or listening to radio in your language, observing your cultural holidays, and dressing in your ethnic clothes from time-to-time. It is also important to not let go of any opportunity to educate people around you about your country and culture.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Leave an impression</strong><br /> Studying abroad offers you some opportunities that you would not have in your home country. Get involved in your college’s international student affairs or global clubs on campus. These opportunities can open doors to meeting other international students and influential members of the campus community, such as deans, principals, and CEOs. You can leave an impression on them – by showcasing your understanding of local ways while being true to who you are! </div> <div> <p><em><strong>Jennifer Kumar</strong> <strong>Cross-Cultural Coach, Authentic Journeys</strong><strong><br /> </strong></em><br /> <em><strong> Jennifer helps Indians prepare for a life abroad while retaining their identity</strong>.  </em></p> </div> <p><strong>Post your queries and comments below this column, and Jennifer will respond!</strong></p>Uttarakhand High Court quashes IIPM’s case against Careers3606687http://www.careers360.com/news/newsdetails.aspx?category=3&news_id=6687<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong> MORE</strong> than a year back, news reports appeared about a defamation case against Careers360, its publisher and editor. An <a href="http://www.dailypioneer.com/254540/Careers-360-faces-defamation-charge.html" target="_blank">article in </a><em><a href="http://www.dailypioneer.com/254540/Careers-360-faces-defamation-charge.html" target="_blank">The Pionee</a>r</em>, a newspaper edited by Chandan Mitra (also a Member of Parliament) dated May 9, 2010 wrote “Education circles are watching with keen interest developments in the ongoing legal dispute between management education giant IIPM and Careers 360”.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">It further went on to say: “After taking cognizance of its complaint, the court had held that the contents of the article were prima facie defamatory and issued summons to the accused. Upon their non-appearance, the court issued bailable warrants against Maheshwar Peri, Publisher and Mahesh B Sarma, Editor of Careers 360 magazine.”To date, this article is cited on many search engines including Wikipedia. We were hoping that <em>The Pioneer</em> would report the developments, as it was “keenly watching it'.   <em> </em></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><em><b>We wish to point-out that all proceedings in the criminal complaint filed by IIPM against Careers360 was quashed by the Hon'ble Uttarakhand High Court by its judgment dated October 8, 2010, with the following observations on pages 15 to 17 of the certified copy of the order which is reproduced verbatim</b></em></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: larger;"> </span></strong>“The entire edifice of our justice system rests on the principle of truth! The exercise in a Court is nothing if it is not a pursuit for truth and justice. The common expression in a Court room is “Satyamev Jayate” ¬Truth shall triumph. Truth is also the best defence in a case of defamation. A truth spoken for public good can never be called defamatory. <br /> <br /> When the author of the disputed article stated in the article itself, in no ambiguous terms, that what he has stated is true and has been verified from Buckingham University and the Berkeley University that they have no arrangements with IIPM, then the first question the learned Magistrate should have asked the complainant was - “Do you have the authority to grant this degree from Buckingham University? If yes, show the proof?”<br /> <br /> This was not done. In fact, even this Court not once but repeatedly asked this question to the counsel for the respondent(name of the counsel ommitted), as to his authority to grant such degree and if they have they must show it to the Court, the petition would then, be liable to be dismissed. But no such evidence was shown, even to this Court! The learned counsel kept on repeating that the complainant has “arrangements” with Buckingham University and that they send their students to Buckingham and that they outsource lecturers from Buckingham, etc., etc., but no proof of their claim that they grant degree from Buckingham University! <br /> <br /> Yet IIPM in its bold advertisements published in Education Times dated June 22, 2009 in Times of India and annexed as Annexure-J to the writ petition and which has not been denied by the respondent/claimant, states as follows :- <br /> <br /> “INDIA’S GLOBAL B-SCHOOL IIPM <br /> NOW STUDENTS DOING IIPM’S UNIQUE <br /> PLANNING & ENTREPRENEURSHIP <br /> PROGRAMME ALSO BECOME ELIGIBLE FOR <br /> AN MBA & BBA <br /> DEGREE <br /> FROM Buckingham Business School, The University of <br /> Buckingham, UK <br /> UK’s NO.1 UNIVERSITY <br /> for the years 2006, 2007 & 2008 in National Student Survey and <br /> RATED AS UK’S NO. 1 B-SCHOOL<br />  <br /> This Court has already held that sole reliance on exceptions would mean the matter has to be determined in a trial alone, as these are factual aspects only to be determined in a trial. All the same, the learned Magistrate should have made at least the minimum enquiry as to the foundation of the allegations and must have asked the complainant as to whether they are authorized under the law to grant a degree as it claims. This was not done by the learned Magistrate. The emphasis on ‘truth’ by this Court is not a reference on the exception to Section 499, but generally as a matter of caution, must be examined by the Court before issuing summons.<br />  <br /> On these facts, this Court is of the opinion that the criminal proceedings, which are presently pending against the petitioners are nothing but an abuse of process and in order to meet the ends of justice, summoning order dated 12.10.2009 are liable to be set aside and are therefore set aside. The proceedings in Criminal Complaint Case No. 5020 of 2009 which is pending before the A.C.J.M, 3rd Dehradun are also set aside.<br />  </p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> </p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> </p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: larger;"><a href="http://www.careers360.com/careers360_cms/newsimages/file/T/Operative%20judgement.pdf" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a></span></strong><strong><span style="font-size: larger;"> to view the last three pages of the jugdement. </span></strong><em><br /> </em><br /> <strong><span style="font-size: larger;"><a href="http://www.careers360.com/careers360_cms/newsimages/file/Full%20judgement.pdf" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a></span></strong><strong><span style="font-size: larger;"> to view full judgement.</span></strong></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><br />  </p>Much more than Management6870http://www.careers360.com/news/newsdetails.aspx?category=3&news_id=6870<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" border="0" align="left" style="width: 384px; height: 297px;"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <img hspace="2" border="1" align="left" vspace="2" alt="" style="width: 368px; height: 270px;" src="http://www.careers360.com/careers360_cms/newsimages/image/1/IMT.jpg" /></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><strong>Fast Facts</strong></span><br /> <strong>Director</strong>: Dr. A.

Sherry</strong>, Director, IMT Centre for Distance Learning, Ghaziabad<br /> <br /> <strong>A</strong> technolgy buff, Dr. A.M. Sherry,Director IMT CDL belives in providing students the best possible resources so that the gap between regular and distance learning goes down drastically. Read on to find out more<br /> <br /> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><strong>Q</strong></span>. <strong>How mature do you think is the MBA Distance Learning market and the dynamics involved and what is the position of IMT? </strong><br /> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><strong>A</strong></span>. As far as the position is concerned, recently we have received the best B-school in distance learning award. I am just back from Mumbai after having received this. No doubt we are number 1 in this field. Unfortunately, however, as far as the perception and rankings are concerned, there is lot of scope which needs to be filled by magazines such as yours because people are still confused about from where to do an MBA in Distance learning. <br /> <br /> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><strong>Q</strong></span>. <strong>Before that we need to answer whether MBA is effective in the distance learning mode?</strong><br /> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><strong>A</strong></span>. In the present scenario, the requirement is totally different. Earlier this was a part of the main campus, a very small department.  e)Placements etc.<br /> Basically the distance learning program is for working professionals. Now what we have done, which no one else is doing in India, we have provided the online library facility. I will show you just now how we are doing it. Our model is totally different. Second is the study material. That also I will show you, it is known as Self Instruction Manual (SIM). Third is the interaction with the faculty. Interaction means we have approx. 75 study centres across the country and we are conducting classes on weekends. For example, you are working with this media house, if you have to do a program, what factors will you see? That’s why we interact with people from the industry. The general feeling of the working professional is that my first priority is my job. Second priority is my family. Third priority my career graph. Another thing is the library, supposing the student needs a book, he used to come all the way from Gurgaon to Ghaziabad just to collect some study material. Again it was a very taxing and time consuming process. That is why we created the online library so that there is no need to come from your city to here for accessing the library, you can do it online. This includes both books as well as journals. The interesting thing is that though we started it for distance learning, even our full time students are interested in this facility because this is very convenient.  <br /> <br /> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><strong>Q</strong></span>. <strong>How many books are there?</strong><br /> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><strong>A</strong></span>. We have 10,000+ management related books and the best thing is that we are updating this on a weekly basis, i.e. flushing out the ld books and inserting the latest books. <br /> <br /> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><strong>Q</strong></span>.<strong>How are you creating the soft copy of the books?</strong><br /> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><strong>A</strong></span>. There is a U.S. based company which take the license from the relevant publishers and we are paying its cost on a per user basis. There is a complete process by which the royalty is also paid to the author and to the publisher etc. <br /> <br /> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><strong>Q</strong></span>. <strong>Second is the faculty base</strong>. <br /> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><strong>A</strong></span>. Now earlier what used to be the trend was that for each subject, the student used to be handed over the syllabus and three books that this is the course material and separately the assignment used to be given to be submitted by a due date which would be followed by an exam. The student used to waste a lot of time searching through the syllabus and the book. Now we have made it very systematic, here is the syllabus along with the page nos. where to find it in the study material. Also. We have provided the space alongside the material to make notes. Then after every three pages, we have two questions by answering which you can “check your progress” and ensure that you are understanding well.  Then, assignments, case studies, it is all a part of the book. The best part is, we are revising this study material on a semester basis, every six months it is reviewed. The addition of new case studies, new software and tools available in the market. <br /> <br /> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><strong>Q</strong></span>. <strong>Where do you source your case studies from?</strong><br /> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><strong>A</strong></span>. From different sources, for example some popular case studies we have in the library itself which are from Harvard, Wharton Kellogg etc. Some Indian case studies our faculty members are collecting from different sources. Our students who go for full time project work in a company are also preparing these case studies. After that there is a proper expert review committee. For each study material module, there is an author, a reviewer and then an expert committee for the area.<br /> We observed people in industry want to upgrade their qualification, want to do Ph.D. etc. but hesistate due to</p> <ul> <li style="text-align: justify;">Paucity of time</li> <li style="text-align: justify;">Locational disadvantage</li> </ul> <p style="text-align: justify;">You can interact on weekends, rest interaction with guide, through a co-supervisor also, through Webex. You can share views, documents, etc.<br /> <br /> We have added a new program related to taxation. Major jobs of all CAs is filing returns. So lets have a course on taxation itself. We found  out the only good publisher is Taxman and there are only two experts: one is Prof. Singhania (prof. at SRCC), and second is Prof. Daate(CA, professional). Again made possible through Webex as travelling is an issue. <br /> <br /> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><strong>Q</strong></span>. <strong>How frequent are classes?</strong><br /> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><strong>A</strong></span>. 8 hrs. either on Saturday or Sunday.

The institution has been careers360_cmsorarily suspended from accepting fresh students and the agency has served notice for terminating its accreditation status.<br /> <br /> Unfortunately, this action was waiting to happen, Careers360 in its May 2011 issue republished a report by Chronicle on such universities. The report citied the students of the university and wrote “More than 30 students are squeezed into a classroom at the University of Northern Virginia, have one question: Will their university be next?”.<br /> <br /> Unfortunately, it has come true, and the future of 1000 odd students who registered at UNV is in peril. They are not in danger until 26th August (UNI has one month notice served on them) to seek a transfer from UNV to another accredited university.<br /> <br /> The question of course is why should the student finally pay for the lax regulatory regime of the USA?<br /> <br /> <strong>Must-read</strong>: Investigative story on <a href="http:// www.careers360.com/news/5263-Can-Tri-Valley-University-students-retain-student- status" target="_blank">tri-valley student’s status</a><br />  </p>Co-ed colleges: Should you attend them?6319http://www.careers360.com/news/newsdetails.aspx?category=3&news_id=6319<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><img hspace="10" height="234" width="350" vspace="10" border="1" align="right" alt="" src="http://www.careers360.com/careers360_cms/newsimages/image/july_img/KB0_0219%20(Kedar%20Bhat).jpg" />PRIYANKA</strong> Debnath, working as a Search Engine Optimization (SEO) content writer at Jhuns Infotech, felt like a fish out of water when she joined a firm which had only male employees. Having studied in an all-girls school and college didn’t make it any easier!</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">“At the interview I was told that I am the only girl recruited. It took a while for me to adjust and get over my shyness,’’ says Priyanka who completed her education in Kolkata. Encouraged by her bosses, Priyanka shed her inhibitions and familiarised herself with her 28 male team members. Over a period of time, Priyanka started to feel comfortable in the work environment. “Now, I can work in any company. However, I miss those days in school when I was a daredevil amongst the all-girls gang,’’ she reminisces.<br />  </p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> </p> <ul> <li><em><strong>Have you just joined a co-ed college? Tell us about your experiences! Did you prefer being in an all-girls/ all-boys institution? Or do both set-ups have pros and cons? Post your views in the comment box below!</strong></em></li> </ul> <p style="text-align: justify;"> <br /> <strong>Expressing freedom </strong><br /> Media professional Sherry (name changed), who studied in a co-ed school up to Class 12 missed the “fun” and “vibrance” when she joined a reputed women’s college in Kerala to get the subject of her choice – English Literature. However, there was an advantage, too. “There was a lot of freedom. We could voice our opinions easily which many of us hesitate when we are in co-ed for the fear of being teased or made fun of,’’ she says, matter-of-factly. It’s not only women who felt it wasn’t the easiest experience working or studying alongside the opposite sex. Interestingly, Dinakar Wilson, Principal of the reputed Baldwin Boys High School in Bangalore, was too shy to speak to his women subordinates. Reason? He too, like many students in the country, had studied in only boys school and college! “My experience with boys is 32 years,” smiles Dinakar. “I would enjoy with my friends though I studied in all-boys school and college. However, when I joined the workplace, initially, I would feel shy. Later, I got over my shyness and became more comfortable,’’ he adds. <br /> <br /> Principals of all non-co-ed schools opine that most parents do not admit their kids because “it’s all girls/ boys” institutions. In fact, they say that parents send their kids mainly for the proximity and reputation of the institution. “When we ask parents why they chose our school, their answer is reputation,’’ says Indira Williams, Principal of Baldwin Girls High School, Bangalore. “There is always interaction with the boys from other schools when there is inter-school competition. In fact, we have observed that the competition will be high among them and the girls always want to beat the boys,’’ she says. Did her students find it difficult to adjust later? “Not at all, They are comfortable” pat comes the reply.  <br />  </p> <ul> <li><strong>Must-read</strong>: <a target="_blank" href="http://www.careers360.com/news/4962-Advisory_how-to-make-the-most-of-your-college-festival">College fests hones your soft skills!</a></li> </ul> <p style="text-align: justify;"><br /> <strong>First day blues </strong><br /> Some of the students after studying in all girls/ boys school are, however, apprehensive about their first day in co-ed institutes. For instance, Shreya Nayak, who has applied to a co-ed college for first year pre-university course says, “I am going to co-ed institutions after studying 12 years in all-girls school. I am not used to boys around. I think I will take a little time to adjust to the new environment.” This teenager admitted that she felt that co-ed institution would have been better as “it would have been easier” for her. “Sometimes I become self-conscious in the presence of men. It could be also the fact that I don’t have any younger brothers,’’ she adds. However, Shreya’s father Satish Nayak, a civil engineer, feels that she is not self-conscious in presence of men. On any particular reason for choosing all-girls school, Satish is quick to add, “I just went by the reputation of the school. We tried for another school but the infrastructure was not satisfactory. In fact, my second daughter was also keen to study in the same school.”</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Not all feel the transition from all-boys/ girls to co-education is hard. Tista Sengupta, who recently completed her postgraduation, actually loved studying in co-education. “I was more of an adventurous person and less into chit-chatting or gossiping like most of these girls do. In my co-ed college, I found guys with similar interests,” she shares. It’s not only at the school-level, even at the professional level—engineering course, there are only-women’s engineering colleges. In fact, there are three only-women engineering colleges in Karnataka. The East Point College of Engineering for Women is one of them. “We cannot convert into co-education.<br />  </p> <ul> <li><strong>Must-read</strong>: <a target="_blank" href="http://www.careers360.com/news/6137-Encouraging-women-in-engineering">Women engineers teaming up for professional growth </a></li> </ul> <p style="text-align: justify;"><br /> The <a target="_blank" href="http://www.careers360.com/news/4463-The-All-India-Council-for-Technical-Education-AICTE">All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE)</a> clearly states that if the admission is less than 40% of the approved intake in the last three years then it’s possible to convert. But our intake is above 80%,’’ shares Giridhara Reddy, Principal of the college. He has another problem: “I am not able to fill 100% of seats. That’s why I want it to be converted to co-education.” Dr. P Prakash, Principal, GSSS Institute of Engineering and Technology for Women, says, “The main focus has to be learning, gaining knowledge. We need to create an environment such that thorough empowerment is given to women.” The college encourages students to participate in various competitions where they need to interact with male students. “Hence they will have no inhibitions when they join the work place,” he says. His advice to students: “There is no need to get nervous or have any inhibitions about the opposite sex. They too are human beings after all.”  </p> <div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Co-ed set-up more motivating? </strong></div> <div style="text-align: justify;">Fr Joy Fernandes, Principal of St. Joseph Indian Middle School in Bangalore, says co-ed institutions has its own merit. He adds, “Co-education gives more impetus towards motivation.” They have introduced co-education for the first and second year Pre-University course (PUC) or Class 11/ 12. Thimmappa M S, former vice-chancellor of <a target="_blank" href="http://www.bangaloreuniversity.in/">Bangalore University</a> and Psychology Professor advocates co-education. “We have to relate to the opposite sex at school and college level itself. Otherwise, students become isolated, leading to social awkwardness. So, let there be a male and female interaction in a healthy manner because in reality they must exist together,’’ he adds.  <br />  </div> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" border="1" style="width: 676px; height: 189px;"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" border="0" align="right" style="width: 127px; height: 149px;"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" border="0" align="left" style="width: 113px; height: 117px;"> <tbody> <tr> <td rowspan="2"><img height="120" width="100" border="1" alt="" src="http://www.careers360.com/careers360_cms/newsimages/image/july_img/DSC_0034a(1).jpg" /></td> </tr> <tr> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <div> <div><strong><br /> "Co-education rules best at workplace" <br /> <br /> H Maheshappa, </strong></div> <div>Vice-Chancellor, Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU), Karnataka</div> <p style="text-align: justify;">There are three women engineering colleges in Karnataka. The women engineering colleges were started after All Indian Council for Technical Education (AICTE) relaxed some norms for those starting all-women engineering colleges. The main reason to have a women engineering college is to encourage more women to join professional courses.</p> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;">However, I strongly feel that co-education is best. When you join a workplace, there will be interaction as they work in a team. If one studies throughout in all-girls/boys college then one’s attitude towards the opposite sex would be entirely different. Some of them may not open up or even maintain a distance. One of the main reasons for parents to send their children to all boys/girls is to see they don’t distracted. The more you try to segregate, the more it’s going to be a problem for the children. Therefore, consider everyone as equal.<br />  </div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p><em> <br /> <strong>Have you just joined a co-ed college? Tell us about your experiences!

While radiography intially focussed on X-ray technology and thus offered a certificate programme, now with the advent of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and lasers, this field has become quite complex and high technology-led. Some institutions offer upto Master’s level programme in the domain. But unfortunately there are no structured entrance examinations for entry into this field. Most medical colleges do offer certificate/diplomas, admit students based on localised entrance tests, or scores in their 10+2 board exams. National-level examinations we could only spot for MSc (Medical Physics) programmes by select universites, but such a programme does not fit directly into the scheme of radiography courses .</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /> <strong>MEDICAL LABORATORY TECHNOLOGY </strong></div> <div style="text-align: justify;">A reasonably old discipline, the MLT studies straddle the entire credential regimes from basic certificate to Master’s level degree programmes offered by the likes of JIPMER, Pondicherry. While the Master’s does have a national level entrance, details are sketchy and incomplete. On the other hand for the innumerably small-time institutes which offer certificate and diploma programmes, there is little or no regulatory oversight. Unless they offer a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree, the institutes do not come under the regulator purview of university regimes and since MLT is not a professional degree there are no professional council that governs the same. So readers are expected to do adequate research on particular institute before taking admissions.   </div> <p> </p>Beyond Delhi University: Best courses in YOUR state!6320http://www.careers360.com/news/newsdetails.aspx?category=3&news_id=6320<p><strong>MAKING</strong> a career does not merely depend on the university where you study.

More and more private hospitals are being set up to cater to this burgeoning market. The need of the hour is professionally managed hospitals and health services organisations and this is where a Master’s in Health Management/Health Administration steps in. The Master of Health Management (MHM)/ Health Administration (MHA) provides health professionals with a combination of core management skills (accounting, finance, marketing, human resource management et al) and a broad understanding of the healthcare policy development and service delivery environments (health system design, health policy analysis, and evidence- based decision-making).</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Courses</strong></div> <div style="text-align: justify;">A variety of courses are on offer for specialising in this filed, which include an MBA in Health Administration, MBA in Health Care Administration, Postgraduate Diploma in Hospital & Health Care Management and Post Graduate Programme in Hospital Management. Most of these programmes are full-time and of 2 year’s duration. Some prominent institutions include: AIIMS, Armed Forces Medical College, Pune, Kasturba Medical College, Manipal and Faculty of Management Studies, New Delhi. Certificate, diploma and postgraduate certificate programmes are also offered by prestigious institutes.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Eligibility</strong></div> <div style="text-align: justify;">To pursue a Master’s programme an aspiring medical manager would need a Bachelor’s degree in Arts/ Science/ Commerce/Engineering/Technology/ Medical/Dental/Pharmacy/Agriculture or any other professional course from any recognised Indian university. Students from medical background have a distinct advantage over others as no two medical exigencies are similar.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <ul> <li style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.careers360.com/news/5198-Course-review_Master-s-in-Hospital-Administration" target="_blank">Must read: Course review of Master's in Hospital Administration (MHA)</a></li> </ul> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Job profile</strong></div> <div style="text-align: justify;">Health administration is an evolving profile as medical science is increasingly relying on technology for better practices. The health administrator has to ensure the perfect synchrony of man and machine so that the delivery system works seamlessly to cure the patient.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;">The job is of a very demanding nature as emergencies and crisis situations occur frequently in a hospital, so a manager has to remain calm under dire circumstances, think logically and demonstrate leadership qualities to keep the staff motivated. The work hours usually vary between 10-12 hours and the employees have to be available 24x7x365.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Job opportunities</strong></div> <div style="text-align: justify;">After attaining a Master’s in health management students can work as hospital administrator, nursing administrators, health information managers, medical office managers and practice administrators. As the responsibility increases the career progresses and ultimately a manager becomes the Chief operating Officer of any medical-related organizations, medical charities, and government-based hospitals. The COO is accountable and responsible for the hospital management, administration, clinical outcomes, and financial revenue and over all functioning of the hospital.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Salary</strong></div> <div style="text-align: justify;">An entry-level position as Assistant Medical Superintendent could command between Rs. 40,000-50,000 and then go up to Rs. 50,000-55,000 as Deputy Medical Superintendents, then close to Rs. 1 Lakh as Medical Superintendent. As your career progresses you could reach the level of an MD and earn between Rs. 1.5-2 lakhs per month. Perks include HRA, Medical, transportation and accommodation. Medical professionals who become administrators can earn a slightly higher package.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Future prospects<br /> </strong>The health industry is poised for growth in the near future. According to National Skill Development Council the sector will add more than 12 million people in the coming decade. Thus the prospects for aspiring medical managers are extremely bright and the next big leap is on the anvil for the healthcare industry.</div> <p> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" border="1" style="width: 640px;

They are the caregivers and have the responsibility of nursing a patient back to health. In India, nursing is a profession largely chosen by women. However, male nurses are becoming more common. According to statistics, Kerala and Rajasthan churn out the largest numbers at present. The space occupied by male nurses is still limited to those spaces that require the least interaction with patients such as the ICU.</p> <div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Courses</strong></div> <div style="text-align: justify;">A student has various options available to enter the nursing profession. You can pursue a diploma, graduate or postgraduate course in nursing. You can also opt for midwifery courses though some nursing courses include this as part of the programme. The most popular is the BSc (Nursing) programme as it gives basic knowledge about nursing, first-aid and midwifery as well. It is typically a four-year course and you need to have completed 10+2 in Science with Biology, Physics and Chemistry as subjects. Other courses include Auxiliary Nurse Midwife/Health worker (ANM) & General Nursing & Midwifery programme (GNM).</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Higher programmes</strong></div> <div style="text-align: justify;">You can study further by opting for an MSc in Nursing, the duration is for 2 years. Some continue to do an MPhil or PhD but it is still not a very common phenomenon in India. Doing post basic speciality diploma courses is more common along with continuing programmes.<br />  </div> <ul> <li style="text-align: center;"><a target="_self" href="http://careers360.com/news/4433-Course-review-Nursing">Must-read: Complete course review of Nursing</a><br />  </li> </ul> <div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Job Profile</strong></div> <div style="text-align: justify;">As a nurse, you need to be patient, responsible and dedicated. Your job would require you to be alert and aware all the time, team spirit is a given along with genuine compassion and tactful behaviour. You should be physically fit, you are usually on your feet for hours at a time. Develop the ability to serve the needs of each patient equally; balancing is part of your job. Your duties and responsibilities as a nurse would have a broad range. You would have to dispense medication, keep complete records of each patient’s progress, set up and operate medical equipment along with administration and routine duties. As you gain seniority, you would need to manage people functioning in areas like the psychiatric, paediatric and intensive care units.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <a target="_self" href="http://careers360.com/news/4433-Course-review-Nursing"><br /> </a></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Job opportunities</strong></div> <div style="text-align: justify;">Nurses are professionals you will find in all areas of a hospital from surgery to maternity to emergency to rehabilitative care. Employment opportunities vary, ranging from hospitals, nursing homes, clinics, health departments, old -age homes, orphanages, schools, railways institutes, public sector medical department, research and also the services like the army, navy and air force. Hospitals are the largest area in which nurses generally function. Public health nursing/community health nursing is another option. You could be employed in government, private clinics and health departments in both urban and rural areas, to provide basic medical services to a specified population. Embassies, reputed companies and schools also have openings for well qualified nurses.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Salary</strong></div> <div style="text-align: justify;">Going abroad and government jobs are most sought out options, especially by the younger generation of nurses. Salaries are dependent on various factors, the level of nursing education you have pursued, area of expertise, work location and years of experience. A nurse joining a private hospital can expect approximately Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 12,000 per month to begin with. Salary packages abroad are substantially higher, sending a lot of our nurse force towards greener pastures. In addition to salaries, nurses can expect packages to include health insurance, holiday pay, pension plans, annual vacation and other benefits. In the US, nurses receive $2,000 to $10,000 as signing bonus. Registered nurses with one year of experience get $17 per hour plus premium $2 per hour for evening shifts and $3 for night shifts in the US. However, before you sign a contract abroad ensure you are covered for malpractices. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Future prospects<br /> </strong>According to a National Skill Development Council (NSDC) report the healthcare industry will add more than 9 million nurses in the coming decade. There is a big gap in the demand and supply of professionally qualified nurses and their demand far outstrips the demand for doctors and physicians. So, if you feel that you can share your love and care for an ailing person then nursing is the right profession for you.</div> <p> <table cellspacing="1" cellpadding="5" border="1" style="width: 566px; height: 682px;"> <tbody> <tr> <td width="418" valign="top" bgcolor="#2864af" colspan="3"> <div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><strong>Select List of Colleges offering the programme</strong></span></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="191" valign="top" bgcolor="#2864af"> <div style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Institute </span></strong></div> </td> <td width="150" valign="top" bgcolor="#2864af"> <div style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Course</span></strong></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="191" valign="top"> <div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://afmc.nic.in">AFMC College of Nursing, Pune</a></div> </td> <td width="93" valign="top"> <div style="text-align: justify;">BSc (Nursing)</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="191" valign="top"> <div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://aims.amrita.edu/school-of-nursing/nursing-home.php">Amrita College of Nursing, Kochi</a></div> </td> <td width="93" valign="top"> <div style="text-align: justify;">BSc, MSc (Nursing), GNM</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="191" valign="top"> <div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://conpune.bharatividyapeeth.edu/default.aspx">Bharati Vidyapeeth’s College of Nursing, Pune</a></div> </td> <td width="93" valign="top"> <div style="text-align: justify;">BSc, MSc (Nursing)</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="191" valign="top"> <div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://bimr.in/index.php">BIMR Nursing College, Gwalior</a></div> </td> <td width="93" valign="top"> <div style="text-align: justify;">BSc (Nursing)</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="191" valign="top"> <div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.birlaheart.org/College_of_Nursing/academic.htm">BM Birla Heart Research Centre, Kolkata</a></div> </td> <td width="93" valign="top"> <div style="text-align: justify;">BSc, MSc (Nursing)</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="191" valign="top"> <div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.aiims.edu">College of Nursing, All India Institute of<br />  Medical Sciences; New Delhi</a></div> </td> <td width="93" valign="top"> <div style="text-align: justify;">BSc (Nursing)</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="191" valign="top"> <div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.bombayhospital.com">College of Nursing, Bombay Hospital, Mumbai</a></div> </td> <td width="93" valign="top"> <div style="text-align: justify;">BSc, MSc (Nursing), GNM</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="191" valign="top"> <div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.cmcludhiana.org/nursing.htm">College of Nursing, CMC, Ludhiana</a></div> </td> <td width="93" valign="top"> <div style="text-align: justify;">BSc, MSc (Nursing)</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="191" valign="top"> <div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.choithram.org/misc/nurse.htm">College of Nursing, Indore</a></div> </td> <td width="93" valign="top"> <div style="text-align: justify;">BSc, MSc (Nursing)</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="191" valign="top"> <div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.vmmc-sjh.nic.in">College of Nursing, Safdarjung Hospital, <br /> New Delhi.</a></div> </td> <td width="93" valign="top"> <div style="text-align: justify;">BSc, MSc (Nursing)</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="191" valign="top"> <div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.cimsrdoon.com">Combined (PG) Institute of Medical Science & Research, Dehradun</a></div> </td> <td width="93" valign="top"> <div style="text-align: justify;">BSc, MSc (Nursing)</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="191" valign="top"> <div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.sbvuniversity.com/">Kasturba Gandhi College of Nursing, <br /> Pondicherry</a></div> </td> <td width="93" valign="top"> <div style="text-align: justify;">BSc, MSc (Nursing)</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="191" valign="top"> <div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.kghospital.com/healthscience/course.html">KG College of Nursing, Coimbatore</a></div> </td> <td width="93" valign="top"> <div style="text-align: justify;">BSc, MSc (Nursing), GNM</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="191" valign="top"> <div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.nursing.kleuniversity.edu.in">KLE Society’s Institute of Nursing Sciences, Belgaum</a></div> </td> <td width="93" valign="top"> <div style="text-align: justify;">BSc, MSc (Nursing), P.B.

This field took birth in 1895 when X-rays were discovered, the process evolved through the years to be used for diagnostic purposes. To provide the right treatment for a disease or ailment, it’s necessary to make the correct diagnosis and radiography helps in getting detailed images of internal body parts and their functioning. There are two types of radiography: diagnostic and therapeutic. Diagnostic radiography is concerned with operating radio imaging machines and interpreting results whereas therapeutic radiography involves treatment of cancers, ulcer and tumours with the help of radiation technology.</p> <div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Course details</strong></div> <div style="text-align: justify;">Radiography is a part of paramedical sciences and a student must have an inclination towards science subjects like Biology, Physiology and Anatomy to successfully pursue a career in radiography. At the undergraduate level one can pursue a BSc degree in Radiography. The minimum eligibility for pursuing a degree course is a pass in 10+2 with Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. One-year certificate course and two- year diploma courses are also popular for gaining entry in the field of radiography. A degree course would offer you better chances for growth than a certificate or diploma course. Usually, people in this field complete a degree but it is not uncommon to pursue further education such as a Master’s degree and PhD. You must have a degree in radiography to be eligible.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <ul> <li style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.careers360.com/news/3771-Radiography" target="_self">Must-read: Complete career review of Radiography</a></li> </ul> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Top institutes</strong></div> <div style="text-align: justify;">To cope with increasing demand of radiographers in India and abroad, several medical colleges offer courses in radiography. Some well-known names are: Dr. M.V. Shetty Institute of Health Science, Mangalore; Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Medical College Hospital, Bangalore; University College of Medical Sciences (University of Delhi); Mohan Dai Oswal Cancer Treatment & Research Foundation, Ludhiana; All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi; Assam Medical College, Dibrugarh; Gandhi Hospital, Secundrabad; General Hospital, Udaipur; Indira Gandhi Medical College, Shimla and King George Hospital, Visakhapatnam.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Job opportunities</strong></div> <div style="text-align: justify;">The need for professionals in the field of radiography is increasing day by day. As more and more sophisticated machines come up in healthcare sector there is an increase in the need for radiographers. Thus there are multiple employment opportunities for radiographers in India and abroad. They are required in government as well as private hospitals. Besides private nursing homes, diagnostic centres and super speciality hospitals are preferred places for radiographers. Self-employment opportunities are also available in this field. They can open their own diagnostic centres. Those highly qualified can teach at medical colleges and institutes. Research activity options are also available to radiographers. Indian radiographers are in high demand abroad, particularly in European countries, the US and Gulf countries.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <ul> <li style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.careers360.com/news/3774-A-radiographer-s-London-dreams" target="_self">Must-read: A radiographer’s London dreams</a></li> </ul> <div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Salary</strong></div> <div style="text-align: justify;">Radiographers working in government hospitals can earn somewhere between Rs. 8,000-12,000 per month. Private hospitals and clinics offer more lucrative pay packages to radiographers. A good radiographer can expect Rs. 40,000 to Rs. 60,000 within a year of two of practice. You need to prove your expertise throughout to keep rising in the profession. If you have completed a certificate course/diploma, you could start as an assistant or aide to the radiographer/ radiologist, at a lower salary ranging from Rs. 3,000 to Rs. 6,000, largely depending on the set-up you join. A postgraduate would obviously earn in the higher bracket, Rs. 20,000 plus can be expected with no work experience. With work experience, the salary would obviously be higher. Indian radiographers who work abroad get high pay packages along with many other fringe benefits.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Future prospects<br /> </strong>Medical imaging technology is advancing very rapidly with new technologies such as Tele-radialogy being introduced. A radiographer must keep abreast of new developments in the field and constantly upgrade one’s skills. Radiographers are a very important cog in the wheel, which is medicine and they come in handy at the first step in the path towards a healthy life for any patient. </div> <p> <table width="600" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="5" border="1"> <tbody> <tr> <td width="418" valign="top" bgcolor="#2864af" colspan="3"> <div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ffffff"><strong>Select List of Colleges Offering the Programme</strong></span></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="158" valign="top" bgcolor="#2864af"> <div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ffffff"><strong>Institute </strong></span></div> </td> <td width="158" valign="top" bgcolor="#2864af"> <div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ffffff"><strong>Course</strong></span></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="158" valign="top"> <div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.aiims.edu" target="_blank">All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi</a></div> </td> <td width="152" valign="top"> <div style="text-align: justify;">BSc (Hons) Medical Technology in Radiography</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="158" valign="top"> <div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.aherf.org" target="_blank">Apollo Institute of Hospital <br /> Management and Allied Sciences</a></div> </td> <td width="152" valign="top"> <div style="text-align: justify;">PG Diploma in Radiotherapy <br /> Technology</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="158" valign="top"> <div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.cmch-vellore.edu" target="_blank">Christian Medical College, Vellore</a></div> </td> <td width="152" valign="top"> <div style="text-align: justify;">BSc (Medical Laboratory <br /> Technology)</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="158" valign="top"> <div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.ucms.ac.in" target="_blank">University College of Medical <br /> Sciences, Delhi University,</a></div> </td> <td width="152" valign="top"> <div style="text-align: justify;">BSc (Medical Technology)</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="158" valign="top"> <div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.bramc.org" target="_blank">Dr. B.R.

Yet, it is estimated that one physiotherapist is required for every 10,000 people, and the demand for trained professionals is only growing with time.Physiotherapy is a science that helps improve movement dysfunction, and promotes functions of the human body and optimal health. This involves assessment, diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disability, mainly through physical means.</p> <div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Kickstarting a career in physiotherapy</strong></div> <div style="text-align: justify;">As a professional discipline, the course made an appearance in the early ’60s and was mostly offered as a one-year diploma which one can pursue after 10+2. There are three ways to enter the field. A diploma (DPT), a degree (BSc) or a professional course (BPT of four years with a 6-month internship). The basic eligibility for BPT courses is 10+2 pass or equivalent examination with Physics, Chemistry, Biology and English. Admission to BPT programme is generally made on the basis of entrance examination conducted both at the State and national level. BPT course is usually of 4½ years of duration. One can even move further with a postgraduation degree (MPT) in this field.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;">The diploma course increasingly is finding less favour with major hospitals. If you pursue a diploma course (one year), it would just make you eligible to work as a physiotherapist’s assistant.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <ul> <li style="text-align: center;"><strong>Must-read</strong>: <a href="http://www.careers360.com/news/4569-Course-Review-Physicotheraphy-in-India" target="_blank">Bachelor's in Physiotherapy</a></li> </ul> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Job profile</strong></div> <div style="text-align: justify;">Physiotherapists help patients rehabilitate from a state of incapacity due to genetic defect or the result of an accident, illness or old age. Hence, you must have thorough knowledge of the human anatomy and the intricacies of bones, muscles and nerves. Excellent interpersonal skills including being empathetic, having patience and being able to understand people, is a must. Of course, manual dexterity and physical stamina to work for long hours is part of the terrain. You will also need to work closely with doctors and hence, being organised, working systematically and following the doctors’ instructions, is a must.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Job opportunities</strong></div> <div style="text-align: justify;">Physiotherapists are required in each department of a hospital, be it ICU or geriatrics, and they can also choose to work independently or be part of a multidisciplinary team. They can enjoy flexible working hours as a consultant, choosing the number of hours to work everyday. Apart from hospitals physiotherapists can work in Community health centres, opt for Private practice, Rehabilitation centres, Sports clinics and fitness centres, universities, colleges, physical education schools and other educational institutions.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Salary</strong></div> <div style="text-align: justify;">Some hospitals choose to pay physiotherapists according to the number of patients he or she sees. Initial remuneration of physiotherapists varies from place to place. In India, the starting salary ranges from Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 40,000 per month. The remuneration for established private practitioners can be nearly Rs. 20,000 to Rs. 40,000 per month. Most physiotherapists with experience start their own private practice. They charge usually around Rs. 250 to 400 per sitting. Remuneration for Physiotherapists in countries such as the United States of America (US), Canada, United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Australia varies (in Indian currency) from Rs. 50,000 to Rs. 200,000 per month (since living expenses are higher, evaluate that against this salary).</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><strong><br /> Future prospects<br /> </strong>Physiotherapy is an upcoming profession in healthcare. It teaches to treat patients without drugs and since there are no adverse effects on the body through this treatment, most patients are more than willing to opt for it. Being a physiotherapist can be a very rewarding profession, but you will have your share of frustrations as well. Sometimes your treatment plan will show the desired results and at other times you will not even come close. But gratitude from patients and their families will always follow you.

In the last few years, there has been a revolutionary growth in every area of the pharma field. With the increasing number of life-saving drugs and new methods and techniques of manufacturing and analysis of drugs, the responsibility of pharmacists has increased considerably.<br /> <br /> Hospital Pharmacy and Community Pharmacy are emerging in India, which involve planning, procuring, dispensing drugs apart from patient counselling. It is interesting to note that a considerable percentage of drug stores in the US are now owned by Indian pharmacy graduates.State and Central Governments appoint Drugs Inspectors to implement the Drugs and Cosmetics Act. A pharmacy graduate alone is eligible for this post and they are the only regulators in the field of Drugs Control Administration.<br />  </p> <ul> <li style="text-align: center;"><strong>Don't miss</strong>: <a target="_blank" href="http://careers360.com/news/6303-India-s-Best-Pharmacy-Colleges"><strong>India's best pharmacy colleges </strong></a></li> </ul> <p style="text-align: justify;"><br /> A career in the field of pharmaceutical education combines teaching with research and sometimes, administrative activities. Though the posts require M.Phar/PhD degree, it is not difficult as the government and pharmaceutical industry support PG and research students through scholarships and fellowships. Research in drug development is another exciting area. In India many pharmaceutical industries like Dr. Reddy’s, Ranbaxy, Cadilla, Glenmark, Cipla, Aurobindo, Hetro have excellent divisions in R&D.<br /> <br /> A degree in Pharmacy makes you eligible not only to seek employment in various drug, chemical, biotechnology and healthcare industries but also to start your own business. Pharmaceuticals is a fast growing industry. Government-sponsored industries are engaged in manufacture of live-saving drugs while manufacture of a major portion of bulk drugs and formulations is in the private sector. Here a young and enthusiastic pharmacist can make a mark with his entrepreneurial skills. There are opportunities for pharmacy graduates in marketing and pharmaceutical journalism also. They can serve as technical advisors or consultants for project-funding agencies to banks, financial institutions etc. By becoming a manufacturing chemist, a pharmacist can rise from the position of production supervisor to production manager and vice president.<br /> <br /> Pharmacy education is set to undergo a sea-change in the next few years. The introduction of Pharm D., a six-year integrated postgraduate programme, is expected to take pharmacy education to international levels. Pharm D., is expected to provide plenty of opportunities to Indian students to practise pharmacy abroad. They can pursue careers in various fields, including institutional practice; community pharmacy practice;managed care; drug information and long-term care; consultant’s role; clinical liaisons with pharmaceutical industry; patient education; and clinical trial research.<br /> <br /> The 6-year course provides intensive training in pharmacy practice and clinical pharmacy services. It will include five years of clinical and community-based theory with ward rounds and one-year internship in hospitals. Students will work in coordination with doctors to treat patients. In the final year, the students will come out as clinical pharmacists, an essential component of healthcare, equal to doctors. Graduates will study in detail about drugs for different diseases. Pharmacists will advise patients about dose, action and side effects, while B.Pharm deals with different drug sources, synthesising drugs,formulations, analysis, regulations, pharmacological actions, dosage and toxicology.<br /> <br /> In a way, pharmacy is coming full circle, and we’re seeing it lean more towards direct patient care. As the population grows and ages, people are taking more prescriptions, and there is more demand for pharmacists to have hands-on time with patients. More advanced-practice pharmacists are specialising and rounding with physicians and other healthcare providers in hospitals as part of a health care team. That’s a win-win situation for patients.<br /> <br /> The profession is changing and the opportunities are growing. There’s more depth and breadth to what pharmacists are expected and asked to do. In a nutshell, pharmacy assures a bright and prosperous future. <br /> <em><br /> Dr. Elango is Principal, JSS, Ooty.</em></p>How to select a Pharma College6314http://www.careers360.com/news/newsdetails.aspx?category=3&news_id=6314<table cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2" border="0" align="right" style="width: 104px; height: 162px;"> <tbody> <tr> <td rowspan="2"> <table cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2" border="1" style="width: 92px; height: 86px;"> <tbody> <tr> <td><img height="81" border="1" align="right" width="80" alt="" src="http://www.careers360.com/careers360_cms/newsimages/image/july_img/Dr%20udupa2%20thumb(1).jpg" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Dr. N Udupa</strong></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>SELECTING</strong> the best pharmacy college has been a challenging task for both parents and the students. Often both fall in the trap of exaggerated pictures provided by a few not-so-reputed colleges. It is hence crucial to look into some important aspects to select the best pharmacy college. Needless to mention, choosing the best pharmacy college would be possible only when a student clears the required eligibility criteria of the respective institute.</p> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" border="1" align="right" style="width: 4px; height: 11px;"> <tbody> <tr> </tr> </tbody> </table> <div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Reputation of the Institution and University:</strong> This is the single most important criterion to select a pharmacy college. When the stitution was established and when it was approved by regulatory bodies like <a href="http://www.pci.nic.in/" target="_blank">Pharmacy Council of India</a> and <a href="http://www.careers360.com/news/4463-The-All-India-Council-for-Technical-Education-AICTE" target="_blank">All India Council for Technical Education</a>. Institutes which have been accredited by national and international agencies like <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nba-india.org/">National Board of Accreditation (NBA)</a>, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.naac.gov.in/">National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC)</a>, <a href="http://www.iso.org/" target="_blank">ISO certification</a> are considered to be well reputed as stringent requirements have to be met for accreditation.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Faculty: </strong>They are the heart and soul of the Institution. Sufficiently experienced, well qualified teaching faculty members and their achievements have to be looked at while selecting the institution besides sufficiently qualified supporting staff (especially those in the lab and the computer centre). Having Adjunct professors, industry experts and other eminent teachers are signs of superior institutes.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Alumni reputation: </strong>Alumni achievements and the positions secured speak a lot about the institute. Their awards, both national and international, boost the image of the institution in a big way.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Evaluation system:</strong> Examination eligibility criteria, transparency in conduction of examinations and evaluation system are the most essential and crucial components of a reputed university to which the college is affiliated. <br />  </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Infrastructure:</strong> Where the institute is located is not to be neglected. It is not how far the institution is from your place but all one has to see is whether it is well connected by air, road and rail. Academic ambience and atmosphere are also a must for any educational institution. Allied institutions (management institutions and other institutions) nearby would fetch opportunities for getting acquainted and prepare well in advance. Whether the institution has its own building and has place for further expansion is also important. Sufficient lecture halls, seminar hall, laboratories, library, equipment (basic and advanced) also play a part. Whether the institution provides well furnished secured hostels and provides hygienic food is to be looked at. Does the institution have sports facilities (out door and in-door)? Whether the institution has annual cultural event, as this gives a platform to showcase the talent - something which is essential for personality development. Medicinal garden or Botanical Park is an essential part of a pharmacy institute. An efficient system is integral to any institution which provides security, both at the institute and the hostels.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Placement cell: </strong>Having a placement cell gives an assurance to the parents that their wards would be placed in good companies after completion of the course and also would help students to find the right job for them. A few reputed institutes have industry interaction programmes conducted on regular basis where the students would be handpicked by the companies.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Other Criteria:</strong> Collaborations with foreign universities, centre for programmes like Quality Improvement Programmes, Continuous Professional Education, training programmes for young teachers, help to get a license to practise the profession in India and abroad. Most importantly, the feedback of the students, alumni, industry and experts also give an unbiased picture of the institution. The above mentioned criteria would help the students (who have the zeal) to pursue their career at pharmacy in the best of the pharmacy institutions in the country. </div> <p style="text-align: justify;"><em>The author is Principal, Manipal College of Pharmaceutical Sciences</em></p>DU Admissions: Cut-off the worries!6315http://www.careers360.com/news/newsdetails.aspx?category=3&news_id=6315<p style="text-align: justify"><strong><img border="1" hspace="10" alt="" vspace="10" align="right" width="300" height="187" src="http://www.careers360.com/careers360_cms/newsimages/image/july_img/z%20(14).jpg" />SRCC</strong>’s requirement of 100% to admit non-commerce students sparked a raging debate among all stakeholders, which is yet to die down. General category aspirants needed at least 96% to get a seat in <a target="_blank" href="http://www.careers360.com/news/4969-Career-review-commerce">BCom (Honours)</a> and 95.25% for admission in BA Economics (Honours).</p> <div style="text-align: justify"><strong>Is 100% cut off justified? </strong></div> <div style="text-align: justify">The first reaction of students and parents was one of shock and disappointment. “It is getting unbelievably tougher for students,” Shreela Varma, an exasperated mother, said. Her daughter who scored 88.25% wanted to do major in Maths or Electronics, but now will have to forgo her wish because she couldn’t qualify in the second list of <a target="_blank" href="http://www.svc.ac.in/">Venkatsawara College</a> which closed its admissions at 88.75%. Now, she might have to settle for English (Hons) in <a target="_blank" href="http://www.jmcdelhi.com/">Jesus and Mary College (JMC)</a>. “It is disheartening not just for my kid, but also for other children who are unable to get their choice of subjects,” she says.<br />  </div> <div style="text-align: justify"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.srcc.edu/">SRCC</a>, which found itself in the centre of the storm, justified its move as the only available mechanism for selecting students from the flood of applications. The academia is not stunned, however. With the number of seats less than the number of applicants and initial screening process done away with, colleges say it is difficult to arrive at a process of selection. “The high cut-offs ensures merit-based selection,” says Dr. SS Sarin, Department of Commerce, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.sbsec.org/">Shahid Bhagat Singh College</a>.

State Board (SB) students usually don’t score as high. This is especially seen in Jharkhand, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh SBs. This is because the Board’s syllabus and answer sheet evaluation style traditionally have not allowed lenient markings. It has also been observed that <a target="_blank" href="http://cbse.nic.in/">CBSE</a> students studying in these States and most others aren’t big scorers either, in comparison to <a target="_blank" href="http://www.cisce.org/">ICSE</a> or CBSE students of Delhi. So, the old assessment pattern greatly influences the overall percentage, making it low. And in tandem with high scores, the cut-offs have also scaled up by an average 3 percent increase year on year.<br />  </div> <div style="text-align: justify">In such a backdrop, ex-Delhi aspirants of DU colleges find themselves at a disadvantage, especially students of Jharkhand, Bihar and North East and a few other States who have traditionally migrated to Delhi for studies.

Just like Mrs. Varma’s daughter, Sakshi Taneja too has to desert her dream of pursuing a career in Statistics, having missed out by just 0.25%. According to a parent, colleges should not be held responsible for the high cut-offs. “It is largely a supply side issue,” he maintains. “If neither the number of colleges is being expanded nor the seats, then private institutions should be allowed to do the needful and should be brought under regulation,” he adds. How does he view the HRD Ministry expressing shock over SRCC’s move? “Politicians will always address the larger section, which currently happens to be the large number of unsatisfied group of parents/students than the satisfied ones,” he adds candidly. Their main objective remains cashing in on sympathy votes, which they are doing by addressing the unsatisfied group, but where is the solution, he asks.<br />  </div> <div style="text-align: justify">Sonal Kwatra, a student of JMC and <a target="_blank" href="http://www.careers360.com/news/4173-Career-review-How-to-succeed-in-Public-Relations">Public Relations</a> Officer of student community at <a target="_blank" href="http://www.aiesec.org/">AIESEC</a>, says students should focus on the course they want to do instead of where they want to do it.

Though data has always been hard to comeby when it came to Pharmacy ranking we were in for a rude shock! Approximately 50 percent of the colleges simply didn’t have the Mandatory Disclosures uploaded on the websites. For those that had put the document in the public domain, they had disclosed only a measly amount of information within them. It seems the only way any institute wants to disclose information is through advertisements!<span>   <br /> <br /> </span></font></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>We went the perception way</strong></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><font size="2">The way we looked at it, if a student had to enrol in a pharmacy college and needed guidance in choosing the right one from him, who would be better to approach than the professors, principals and deans of the best pharmacy colleges themselves? So we shortlisted about 220 colleges from the universe of the 460 colleges in question, and e-mailed them a questionnaire and a college list. Not more than five responded. Then we shortlisted about 100 colleges, based on batch size, specialisations offered etc.,<span>   and started calling up the Principals and Deans for knowing their opinions. <br /> <br /> They were asked to rate the top 6/7 pharmaceutical colleges in the country. 37 principals responded to us. A college ranked first was given 7 points (for each ranking), ranked 2 was given 6 points and so on till a college ranked 7th was given 1 point. The points were aggregated and the colleges were ranked on the basis of the total points thus accumulated. The results are presented above. </span></font></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>How does the list look like? </strong></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><font size="2">The list is an eclectic mix of public and private institutions. Invariably colleges with good faculty and great research have come on top. Though good infrastructure is a clear value-add, most deans do not give it as much importance. Institutes which are govt-owned and have been in existence for decades dominate the list, a fact attributed to their alumni strength and consequently placements. But all Deans invariably acknowledge the need for admitting good students.<br /> <br /> <br /> </font></div> <ul> <li style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.careers360.com/news/6326-Select-list-of-Pharma-College" target="_self">Must-read: Listing: Top 75 pharmacy colleges in India</a><br />  </li> </ul> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <strong>Dean Speak</strong></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><font size="2">“Top 6 colleges, uh?” begins the Principal of a pharmacy college when contacted. “You want for my State?” “No Sir, all-India,” I revert. “In that case you’ll have to give me some time. I’ll need to check from some websites etc. You call me after two days,” comes the response. We are yet to hear from him. <br /> <br /> </font></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><font size="2">Don’t think that such incidents were limited to the not-so-prominent colleges. We had the following conversation with the Dean of a pharmacy college that featured in the Top 10. I asked, “Sir, can you please tell us, which are the top six colleges in your opinion in the country?” He asked upfront, “That I’ll tell you, but is there some scope of writing an article in the ranking you are doing?” I suggested, “Since yours is a college which has been consistently ranked quite well, we would request you to contribute an article about the pharmacy sector or the scenario of education in Pharmacy.” “No, I want to write about my college only,” replied the adamant dean from whom we finally got no response. And we thought dealing with Deans would result in getting a more academic perception to the whole exercise!<br /> <br /> </font></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><font size="2">Yet another Principal of a well-known private college tried to convince us that there was no way we could mix all pharmacy colleges because there were two distinct categories: one which had good students and well-qualified, stable faculty whereas the other had good infrastructure, facilities and good faculty interested in teaching, though the student quality may not be very good. A valid point, but he killed the observation by placing his own college on top in the second category. </font></div> <div> </div> <div><strong>On the positive side</strong></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><font size="2">Some Deans provided very perceptive and insightful comments. While the general refrain has been that rankings do not capture the value addition process sufficiently, some also commented upon the inability of objective data to capture the transformative process, that is education. A few Deans were so perceptive about their standing that the ratings they gave for their own colleges matched exactly with many other Deans, providing us sufficient confidence to publish the perception-based ranking. <br /> <br /> </font></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><font size="2">An academic from a State Government University was candid enough to admit that many of his ilk were living on past reputations and their institutional infrastructure is in tatters. He also admitted that many new private institutes have better infrastructure and deep pockets. His contention was that a common admission process would help all colleges in the long run and the better ones could easily be gauged on the basis of student preferences. According to him, it is the possibility of a back door entry in certain private colleges that mars every private institution’s reputation. Unfortunately such academicians constitute less than 10% of the sample size who connected with us, yet again proving the wide disparity in the quality of academia in the country.<br /> </font></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><strong><br /> Way forward</strong></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><font size="2">Going the perception route for the first time taught us quite a few lessons. Some of the Deans have very little idea of the macro picture. Many academics do try to ruthlessly promote their institutions at any cost. But the positive dimension is that they do not constitute the majority. While macro-level awareness is definitely in short supply, honesty is not so, at least with the majority we spoke to. We hope for the sake of the students that the capability situation is better at the grass-root level, especially at the level of professors and support staff.</font></div> <div> <p style="text-align: justify;"><font size="2">We sincerely believe that the final list we have proposed is a reasonably good representation of the reality in the pharmaceutical education scenario in the country. While all efforts have been taken to ensure geographic and institutional diversity in our sample size, we hope to improve our quality of data substantially. We also are in the process of filing a series of RTI applications both with the PCI and the AICTE. This would enable us to bring a much more comprehensive ranking backed by objective data in the coming year. Meanwhile you can dig your teeth into the current package. </font> </p> </div> <p> <table height="270" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" border="1" width="615" style=""> <tbody> <tr> <td bgcolor="#2864af" align="center" width="389" valign="top" colspan="4"> <p><strong><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">CARE</span></strong><strong><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">ER OPTIONS</span></strong></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="#2864af" width="67" valign="top"> <div><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><b>Course</b></span></div> </td> <td bgcolor="#2864af" width="67" valign="top"> <div><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><b>Duration</b></span></div> </td> <td bgcolor="#2864af" width="67" valign="top"> <div><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><b>Eligibility</b></span></div> </td> <td bgcolor="#2864af" width="67" valign="top"> <div><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><b>Job Profiles</b></span></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="67" valign="top"> <div>D.Pharm</div> </td> <td width="67" valign="top"> <div>2 years</div> </td> <td width="66" valign="top"> <div>PUC/+2</div> </td> <td width="189" valign="top"> <div>Retail Pharmacy, Hospital Pharmacy,  Community Pharmacy and Industry</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="67" valign="top"> <div>B.Pharm</div> </td> <td width="67" valign="top"> <div>4 years</div> </td> <td width="66" valign="top"> <div>PUC/+2</div> </td> <td width="189" valign="top"> <div>Manufacturing, Quality Assurance, Marketing, Entrepreneurship</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="67" valign="top"> <div>Pharm D</div> </td> <td width="67" valign="top"> <div>6 years</div> </td> <td width="66" valign="top"> <div>PUC/+2</div> </td> <td width="189" valign="top"> <div>Hospital/ Clinical/ Community Pharmacists, Clinical Research Organisations, Clinical  trial Management, Medical Writing,   Entrepreneurship</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="67" valign="top"> <div>M.Pharm</div> </td> <td width="67" valign="top"> <div>2 years</div> </td> <td width="66" valign="top"> <div>B.Pharm</div> </td> <td width="189" valign="top"> <div>Drugs control department, Manufacturing, Quality Assurance, Marketing, Regulatory department, Intellectual Property Rights, Quality Assurance, Clinical Research,  Community/ Hospital Pharmacist,  Entrepreneurship</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="67" valign="top"> <div>Pharm D Post Baccalaureate</div> </td> <td width="67" valign="top"> <div>3 years</div> </td> <td width="66" valign="top"> <div>B.Pharm</div> </td> <td width="189" valign="top"> <div>Hospital/ Clinical/ Community Pharmacists, Clinical Research Organisations, Clinical  trial Management, Medical Writing, Entrepreneurship</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="67" valign="top"> <div>PhD</div> </td> <td width="67" valign="top"> <div>Depends on the university norms and project <br /> undertaken</div> </td> <td width="66" valign="top"> <div>M.Pharm</div> </td> <td width="189" valign="top"> <div>Senior positions in Industry, Advanced Research, Scientist, in the areas like  Pharmaceutical Pharmacology, Chemistry Pharmacognosy, Pharmaceutical Marketing and Administration, Regulatory Affairs, Intellectual Property Rights</div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </p>Truth about animation: It's about storytelling not technology!6142http://www.careers360.com/news/newsdetails.aspx?category=3&news_id=6142<p><img hspace="5" height="175" width="280" vspace="5" border="1" align="right" alt="" src="http://www.careers360.com/careers360_cms/newsimages/image/abhi/potters_wheel.jpg" /></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>MANY </strong>a time, people mistake mastery of the tools as equivalent to mastery of the skill. In animation, which is my field, people still think it is a software learning process. You learn software or you learn computers and you get into animation. But animation is about storytelling and about filmmaking. <br /> <br /> Since that understanding was missing students had trouble when they came to the studios, because being a good technician is not enough to create. You can probably help a good artist, but for creating a piece of work you actually require that creative instinct. You require a foundation that is very different. And for that I blame our schools.<br />  </p> <ul> <li style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.careers360.com/news/3416-Animation-Digital-Technology" target="_blank">Career review in animation: How to make it!</a></li> </ul> <div style="text-align: justify;"><strong><br /> A curriculum devoid of creativity<br /> </strong>We do not have creative and performing skills in our schools, so people’s inclination towards them is not very strong. But everybody does Mathematics? Why? Because right from KG up to Class 12 we are taught not to use the calculator. We do it manually, by hand. It’s the same with drawing - you keep on doing it, you keep on looking at that tree and drawing it every day, you’ll get better and better. <br /> <br /> The other issue is that we have not held the pencil at that angle, we did not apply our mind and hand together like that, and that’s why it was not happening. Same thing is about the colours, same thing is about the composition. When somebody starts holding the camera in his hand, the composition skills will start improving, they will constantly improve.<br />  </div> <div style="text-align: justify;">At our institute, we have designed this curriculum with a storytelling and film-making foundation and that’s what is making life easier for our students in the long-term. If you can tell a story verbally, you don’t require more than two tools: you require a pen and a paper, you require a pencil and an eraser, you require paint and paintbrush, you require a nail and a hammer, you require clay and a wooden stick.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><strong> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="7" align="left"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="1" style="width: 98px; height: 149px;"> <tbody> <tr> <td width="82"><img height="81" width="80" border="1" alt="" src="http://www.careers360.com/careers360_cms/newsimages/image/abhi/Ashish%20SK%20new%20thumb.jpg" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p><strong>Ashish Kulkarni<br /> </strong>CEO, Reliance Animation</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> Practice makes you perfect</strong></div> <div style="text-align: justify;">In my school, the student might go on to work in animation, gaming or comic books, he will be very well-equipped to work in live conditions.

And for that, the digital content that goes on the screen has to be of a very good quality, and people need to make their careers in making that content. If we don’t, we will miss the bus.<br /> <br /> <em>(As told to Nitin Jindal)</em></div>Delhi University cut-offs: No need to panic!6232http://www.careers360.com/news/newsdetails.aspx?category=3&news_id=6232<p><strong>DELHI UNIVERSITY</strong> has announced the first cut-off list for various programmes in different colleges. Since the colleges have to admit all students who fall within the announced cut-offs, colleges have erred on the side of caution and have announced slightly higher cut-offs. <br /> <br /> For example, Hindu College’s cut-off for B.Com (H) last year was 93.25 %. This year the minimum cut-off is 95.5.  But don’t let these figures fool you. The fourth cut-off list last year admitted students with 87%.  However, some programmes such as the Hindu’s Economics (Hons) always attracts students with highest percentages. Admissions closed by the second list with almost similar cut-offs. This was also the case with B.Com (H) at SRCC. <br /> <br /> So those of you who have scored between 87% and 93% - do not lose heart. You might still get into one of the coveted colleges by the second or third lists. You might have to settle for B.com (H) instead of Economics (hons). So keep the sprits up. The cut-offs may go up by one or two percent for some pricy courses. But for the bulk of colleges and programmes, cut-offs will hover around the same figures as last year. <br /> <br /> <strong>Getting admission</strong>: The admission process is admittedly easier this year. Based on your percentage you can approach a college and seek admission. To help you assess where you stand we have put up all the four cut off lists here.

There’s a specific focus on entrepreneurship programmes, student engagement with NGOs in Socially Useful & Productive Activity (SUPA) and organising regional industry-institute interaction programmes. Also, there are no reservations. <br /> <br /> The PGDM programme follows a trimester system.

But to even get the attention of the admissions committee, an above average test score is crucial. <br /> <br /> You have broadly two kinds of tests, one tests your aptititude (GMAT, GRE ) and the other your language skills. And good scores in both are crucial for your success. <br /> <br /> The language tests have been designed to measure the English language proficiency of such people whose native language a different one Careers360 takes a look at two such tests in depth, <a href="http://www.ets.org/toefl/" target="_blank">Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL)</a> and <a href="http://www.ielts.org/default.aspx" target="_blank">International English Language Testing System (IELTS)</a> which are time-honoured tests and also <a href="http://www.pearson.com/" target="_blank">Pearsons</a> (PTE), the recent entrant in this domain.   </p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Who should take the English Language Test (ELT)<br /> </strong>The tests are primarily meant for students who are planning to study at a higher education institution. The need for taking the tests arise since an undergraduate, graduate or postgraduate programme anywhere in the world does require students to demonstrate their ability to communicate in English as an admission requirement. <br /> <br /> For Indian students their destination could be the United States (US), United Kingdom (UK), Australia, Singapore, Japan or anywhere in the world provided the institution in that country recognises the scores of the ELT you take. Others, who opt for ELT, do so as they wish to apply for scholarship and fellowships. Further, there are others who apply for residential and work visas; and those who need professional certification as desired by a few medical and licensing agencies outside their home country. Needless to mention some people appear for ELT to track their English language learning progress. <br /> <br /> <strong>About IELTS</strong><br /> IELTS stands for International English Language Testing System and is jointly managed by British Council, IDP: IELTS Australia and the University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations (Cambridge ESOL). IELTS too has graduated from being a multiple choice test-the English Proficiency Test Battery (EPTB) in the 1960s primarily for the purpose of screening international applicants to the UK’s educational institutions by the British Council, to the English Language Testing Service (ELTS) in the 1980s, and finally to a more innovative format today. According to IELTS administrators, ELTS was influenced by the growth in ‘communicative’ language learning and ‘English for specific purposes’. The present version of IELTS is a result of major revisions. <br /> <br /> The 1989 format introduced the candidates to two non-specialised modules, Listening and Speaking, and two specialised modules, Reading and Writing. While the non-specialised modules tested general English, the specialised ones assessed the candidate’s skill in three discipline fields namely Physical Science & Technology; Life & Medical Sciences and Business Studies & Social Sciences (Module A, B & C respectively). In 1995, the field-specific modules A, B and C were replaced with one Academic Reading Module and one Academic Writing Module. Also, measures were taken to gather data on test performance and candidate background to factor the issue of fairness. Further in 2001, the revised IELTS Speaking test was introduced and in 2005, new assessment criteria for the Writing Test were made operational. The same year, computerised version of IELTS was also introduced. <br /> <br /> <strong>Assessing the test and the test score</strong><br /> IELTS uses a unique nine-point scoring system to measure and report test scores. You get a score for each language skill or sub-tests (listening, reading, writing & speaking) and an overall band score (OBS) on a band scale from one to nine. These scores are reported in whole or half bands. Each of the sub-test scores is equally weighted and the OBS is calculated by taking the mean of total of the four individual sub-test scores.<br /> <br /> According to IELTS administrators, the test is advantageous for candidates because it is fair and unbiased. This is due to international teams of writers contributing to test materials and ongoing research. The test writers from different English-speaking countries, who develop IELTS content, also add to the real-life situations in different countries.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>About TOEFL<br /> </strong>The  ‘testing of English as a foreign language (TOEFL)’  is  administered by , the Educational Testing Service (ETS), a private non-profit organisation and College Board from 1965 onwards. If you would ask your parents or those a generation above you about the TOEFL they took, you would realise that there are a sea of changes in the present version. TOEFL has graduated from only paper based test (PBT) initially to computer based test (CBT) in 1998, to internet-based test in 2005 (iBT). The paper-based version of the TOEFL (PBT) continues to be administered  on specific dates in some countries, particularly in areas where accessibility to the TOEFL iBT is a concern. This includes select centers in Iran, Iraq, Kenya, Myanmar, Norway, Russian Federation, South Africa and even the US to name a few.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Taking the test</strong><br /> The first step is to decide where (the location) one should take the test. The decision would enable you to opt for one of the two formats: TOEFL iBT or PBT. All test centers in India offer the TOEFL iBT.<br /> <br /> TOEFL iBT assesses all four language skills-reading, listening, speaking and writing-that are considered important for effective communication. According to the test administrators, the objective of internet version emphasises integrated skills such that academic institutions are better informed about the test taker on their ability to communicate in an academic setting and their readiness for academic coursework. <br /> <br /> Candidates have up to four hours to complete the test atcareers360_cmsting all the four sections on the same day. You need to be familiar with certain features on the computer. For instance, on the computer screen, you are aided by a tool bar which lets you know what question you are answering and how much time is left in the section. The ‘volume’ button enables you to adjust the volume of the listening material and ‘Next’ makes way for the next question. ‘Help’ gives you a way to get relevant help. But remember, when you use the ‘help’ feature, the clock does not stop. <br /> <br /> In the Reading section, for some questions, you need to click ‘view text’ to see the entire reading passage. You can also see all your answers by clicking on ‘review’, which permits you to change your answer. In the Speaking section, you need to wear headphones and speak into a microphone to respond. The responses are recorded on the computer and sent to ETS’s Online Scoring Network. The Writing section consists of two tasks. In the first task, you need to type your answer in response to material you hear and read. In the second task, you have to compose an essay in support of an opinion. <br /> <br /> The above sections have questions that integrate two, three or all the four sections. This implies that you have to read a passage, listen to a short lecture about the topic, and then speak or write in response. Those who register to take TOEFL iBT also get access to a link (TOEFL iBT Sampler), when the registration is complete, which gives them access to questions from all four sections. While the Reading and Listening sections are interactive, sample responses are provided for the Writing and Speaking questions. <br /> <br /> For the Paper based Test (TOEFL PBT), the total test time is approximately two and one-half hours. This consists of three separately timed sections: Listening Comprehension, Structure and Written Expression and Reading Comprehension. The questions in each section are multiple choice, with four possible answers or options per question. For those taking the TOEFL PBT test, the Test of Written English (TWE) is required.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Assessing the test and your score</strong><br /> According to TOEFL administrators, the TOEFL score is more objective and reliable. This is because the candidate’s speaking responses are recorded and evaluated by three to six ETS raters rather than only one rater from a local testing site. ETS adds that students choose TOEFL for “its reputation for quality, fairness and 100 percent academic composition. Moreover, of the 7500 institutions that accept TOEFL scores for admitting students, they are among the top 100 universities in the world”. <br /> <br /> ETS uses both human raters and automated scoring methods. As per ETS administrators, “human raters are needed to attend to a wider variety of features, such as the quality of ideas and content as well as form. ETS raters are trained extensively; pass a certification test and are calibrated daily”. The calibration includes task familiarisation, guidance on scoring the task, and practice on a range of responses. When you finish taking the test, you can opt to cancel your score. But you cannot cancel your score for one section and have scores for other sections reported. Canceling the scores simply implies that they will not be reported to you or any institutions. In this case your test fee will not be refunded. You can also reinstate the cancelled score. One is able to view the scores online in about 14 days after s/he takes the test. </p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Tips for ELT<br /> </strong>For Reading, read regularly, particularly textbooks, newspapers and/or materials that cover various subject areas. Increase your vocabulary using memory cards, skim quickly to identify important points in a passage and draw inferences. For Listening, watching movies and television, listening to the radio and to the resources available on the internet, helps a lot. Also attend lectures or talks and try to outline the key points. For speaking, practise with native speakers of English or join a club whose members converse in English about travel, movies, music, culture etc. <br /> <br /> Prepare salient points to start with and practise giving responses for a minute to gradually increase the time. For improving writing skills; list out familiar topics and practise writing about them. Increase your word power, knowledge of idiomatic speech and grammatical structures so you can use them naturally when writing. One must plan to take the ELT two to three months before your earliest application deadline, so that your scores arrive at your institutions in time. One should ideally start preparing for the test at least eight weeks before the opted test date.</p> <p> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" border="1" align="left" style="margin-right: 8px;"> <tbody> <tr> <td width="201" valign="top" bgcolor="#2864af" colspan="2"> <div><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><strong>IELTS Band </strong></span></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="70" valign="top" bgcolor="#2864af"> <div><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><strong>IELTS Band <br /> Score Scale</strong></span></div> </td> <td width="70" valign="top" bgcolor="#2864af"> <div><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><strong>Implication</strong></span></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="70" valign="top"> <div>9</div> </td> <td width="131" valign="top"> <div>Expert user</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="70" valign="top"> <div>8</div> </td> <td width="131" valign="top"> <div>Very good user</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="70" valign="top"> <div>7</div> </td> <td width="131" valign="top"> <div>Good user</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="70" valign="top"> <div>6</div> </td> <td width="131" valign="top"> <div>Competent user</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="70" valign="top"> <div>5</div> </td> <td width="131" valign="top"> <div>Modest user</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="70" valign="top"> <div>4</div> </td> <td width="131" valign="top"> <div>Limited user</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="70" valign="top"> <div>3</div> </td> <td width="131" valign="top"> <div>Extremely limited user</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="70" valign="top"> <div>2</div> </td> <td width="131" valign="top"> <div>Intermittent user</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="70" valign="top"> <div>1</div> </td> <td width="131" valign="top"> <div>Non-user</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="70" valign="top"> <div>0</div> </td> <td width="131" valign="top"> <div>Did not atcareers360_cmst the test</div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Taking the Test<br /> </strong><br /> The first step is to opt for either of the two formats: the Academic module or the General Training module. While the first is for candidates willing to get admission to study or train in English at a UG or PG level in an educational institute; the latter is suitable for candidates who wish to undertake work experience/training programmes, or for immigration requirements (primarily to Australia, Canada and New Zealand). This format is also for those who plan to complete their secondary education in an English-speaking country. The test is either a paper-based or computer-based (CB IELTS), depending on the country you are in. <br /> <br /> Both the <a href="http://www.ieltsidpindia.com/" target="_blank">IELTS</a> formats are made up of four sections – Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. One has to appear in all the four sections to receive a test result. The difference is in academic text for reading/writing in the Academic Module while test material is based on training for the second module. The Reading section assesses the test taker’s skill in reading as s/he answers the questions (multiple choice, sentence completion, summary writing, matching information, short-answers etc.) after reading one long text in each of the three sections. <br /> <br /> The texts are taken from books, journals, magazines and newspapers on academic topics of general interest which may also have non-verbal materials such as diagrams, graphs or illustrations. The Listening section has four sub-sections. The first one is a conversation between two people set in an everyday social context. Second is a monologue or a speech. Third section is a conversation between up to four people set in an academic setting and the final one is a monologue on an academic subject, for instance an academic lecture. Each section is heard only once. <br /> <br /> The speaking test which is recorded consists of three parts that simulate a face-to-face oral interview with an examiner. The first part is Introduction and interview wherein the examiner introduces him/herself and asks the candidate a few questions on familiar topics like home, family, work, studies and interests. Part two is the Individual’s turn that asks the candidate to talk about a particular topic. The test-takers are given 1 minute to prepare their talk, and are allowed to make notes. <br /> <br /> They are then asked to speak for 1-2 minutes on the topic and also respond to one or two questions. Part-3 is known as Two-way discussion where the candidates are asked further questions that are connected to the topic in Part 2. These questions give the candidate an opportunity to discuss more abstract issues and ideas. <br /> <br /> The writing section has two tasks. The first task requires the test takers to take a look at any data, graph, chart or diagram and describe, summarise or explain the implied meaning or information in their own words. In Task 2, candidates are asked to write an essay in response to a point of view, argument or problem. The responses to both the tasks have to be written in a formal style.<br /> <br /> <strong>About Pearson’s Test of English (PTE) </strong></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">PTE Academic is delivered through Pearson VUE.

The Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU), the leviathan with 2.8 million students retains the pole position in India’s first ever objective rating of Distance Learning Institutes.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">It accounts for a massive 30 percent of the total enrolment in the country. Nimesh Chandra, Head of Research-Careers360 spearheaded the huge exercise that involved collating data on all the existing DL institutions, visits to some select universities, study centres and interviews with stake holders (see methodology for more details). But the scenario is so bleak, that even then we could get enrolment data for only 114 out of the 176 institutions. India has a long way to go in ensuring comparable data availability.<br /> <br /> The ranking project involved examining 30 top institutions under three broad domains namely, Reach & Resources, Learning and Experience, and Results & Efficiency. The results were amazing. The top ten was populated by five open universities, three private players and two dual mode state level universities. <br /> <br /> It is the sectoral ranks that open up the field further. For example IGNOU, which convincingly tops the overall ranking, goes down to 15 places in the results category, informing us that it has a tremendous potential for increasing its pass percentage and customer service. Mumbai University, or Symbiosis for example, presents a contrasting picture. <br /> <br /> They score a lowly 27 and 20 respectively in resources-committed rank, but provide an amazing learning experience where they score 3rd and 6th respectively. In other words, some have invested heavily in hardware and study centres, while some have focussed on technology exclusively. Very few have scored consistently across categories, showing that the sector needs substantial investments and strategic thinking. And that is the way forward. <br /> <br />  </p> <p style="text-align: justify"><strong><u>Methodology<br /> <br /> </u></strong>The Universe for Open and Distance Learning Institutes (ODLIs) in India comprises 249 institutes, out of which 176 institutes are currently offering Distance Education Programmes. Given the nature of operations of ODLIs and the lack of adequate data with the Distance Education Council (DEC) as also in the public domain, shortlisting of 50 institutions was done based on student enrolment data. The logic being the popularity of the institutions, on the basis of their admissions. <br /> <br /> Careers360 then sent letters to these 50 institutions with a questionnaire and also requested data from the DEC. Based on the responses received from the institute as well as the data supplied by DEC and in-house research, 30 institutes were finally chosen for ranking purpose. Further, visits were made to the all the institutes that responded as well as to select study centres of others to build a robust database based on input-process-output methodology. <br /> <br /> The input primarily looked at the reach, infrastructure and diversity of the institutions in providing distance education. The process emphasised on the quality of resources and delivery mechanism, while output focused on the performance of the institute in facilitating the trained student in getting a better prospect. </p> <p style="text-align: justify"><strong>The 3 broad parameters and the weights</strong>:</p> <div align="center">  <table height="1038" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="6" width="221" align="left" border="0" style="width: 221px;
