Education in India still has a long way to go

EntrepreneursSecretary of the University Grants Commission (UGC), Dr R K Chauhan, stated that India had made rapid progress in the field education but it still had a long way to go. Chauhan was delivering a key address at a seminar on ‘Globalisation and its effect of the Development of Economy’, organised by the Commerce department of GMN College in Ambala Cantonment on Sunday.

He said the UGC was paying special attention to the areas and colleges which were not up to the mark, while adding that new techniques of research were being introduced to encourage young scholars. Chauhan, however, expressed concern in cases where teacher unions were playing the role of a “road block” in expansion of education.

He also announced that GMN College had been selected as a ‘College of Excellence’ for its overall performance in the field of teaching. More than 100 delegates from different colleges of the region attended the seminar.

The consensus opinion among the speakers including D S Bhardwaj, director, Khalsa Institute of Management in Yamunanagar, Hawa Singh and Narender Singh from Kurukshetra University was that the policy of “policing globalisation” adopted by the Indian government had had a tremendous effect on our economy, which has made strides in the field of technology, particularly the IT sector.

More than 30 scholars and teachers presented their research papers followed by a discussion.

Earlier, Head of the Commerce department of GMN College, Dr V K Jain, said the Indian economy had experienced major policy changes in early 1990.

“The economic reform popularly known as Liberalisation, Privatisation and Globalisation (LPG model) aimed at making the Indian economy the fastest growing economy and globally competitive. A series of reforms undertaken with respect to the industrial, agricultural, trade and financial sector were aimed at making the economy more efficient,” he said.

Infosys doubles B-school grad hires

EntrepreneursAs the largest hirers of B-school graduates this year (about 450) and introducing various business courses at its corporate university in Mysore, IT major Infosys is reinforcing its management talent pool, right at the entry level.

On whether such initiatives would eventually lead to the setting up of a corporate management school, Mr T. V. Mohandas Pai, Member of Board, Director, HR, Education, Research and Administration, Infosys, said: "We are not starting a B-school, but have started management training courses at our corporate university and doubled our intake of B-school grads."
The company will hire close to 450 management graduates from across all the IIMs, XLRI, TISS and Symbiosis in the next few days. "We have decided to do large investments in consulting and enterprise solutions for which we need this talent," said Ms Nandita Gurjar, Senior Vice- President and Group Head, HR, Infosys Technologies.

The two profiles that are coming in would be in consulting and sales, she added.

Last year, Infosys hired 200 B-school grads and has doubled the number this year. "About 50 of these would be for HR," she added. Campus-offer conversion rates across both B-schools and engineering colleges have touched 93 per cent this year against 70 per cent last year, Ms Gurjar said.

Infosys is also visiting half the number of engineering colleges (500) as compared with the previous years, to hire over 15,000 students.

The company has increased its training days for freshers from about 140 days to 180 , she said.

Infosys has one of the largest corporate universities in Asia located at Mysore training 30,000 new recruits every year. The Infosys Leadership Institute trains executives and managers in the company.
 
CAT results put off till Feb-end


EntrepreneursThe Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, announced on Saturday that the CAT 2009 result declaration has been deferred to the end of this month, drawing hundreds of comments criticising the examination process from candidates on various online forums for MBA students and aspirants.

IIMA’s corporate communications manager Ishita Solanki said the announcement was made to keep communication channels open, and the initial tentative timeline of the third week of February has been shifted by another week.

She said that no dates had been finalised yet adding that the “change of the system of examination” could have been part of the reason for the delay, without elaborating.

CAT 2009 was the first online CAT examination conducted in India, and about 2.15 lakh candidates had appeared for it. CAT convener Satish Deodhar, a professor at IIM-Ahmedabad, could not be reached for comment.

 One of the major problems is that with the results of admission tests of other institutes being out, candidates are in a dilemma regarding the next step. They are unsure whether they should take admission in these institutes or wait for the CAT results.

“I heard the CAT tests would be evaluated according to the difficulty level of each slot, and that makes it very hard to predict my percentile,” Manonit Kaur said. Kaur has been shortlisted for admissions in SIMC and is worried about what she should do next.

Neeraj Bangalorakar, who took the exam at the Thakur Polytechnic Kandivali, Mumbai, told The Sunday Express, “I personally feel the IIMs have goofed up the results. The tests were online anyway, so the results should not have taken more than two weeks to come out.”
