New Education policy .
New educational policy likely to come out next year: Smriti Irani
Union HRD Minister Smriti Irani on Sunday said the new educational policy of the BJP-led NDA government is expected to be rolled out next year.
“The deliberations on the proposed new policy will start next year and we should have a policy. We will start a new educational policy soon. Educational policy takes seven months to three years and politicians, bureaucrats and experts draw it up. But there is need to involve principals, teachers and students in the educational policy,” she said.
Ms. Irani was speaking at a valedictory function of the 21st Annual Sahodaya conference of CBSE at nearby Nedumbassery.
Addressing principals and teachers from CBSE schools across the country and abroad, she said, “The future of the country lies in your hands. I say this not only as HRD minister, but as also a mother of two CBSE school going kids.”
Pointing out that India is going through an evolution, she said the nation’s destiny has for too long been vested on those who did politics and now there was a chance to transform India for the better.
“I stand here as witness of the desire of people to seek transformation and this cannot happen only in government. It should happen at the grassroots and teachers should be a vehicle to bring about the change,” she said.
The minister, who also rolled out ‘Saransh’, a tool for comprehensive self-review in schools, said it was a big step.
It should not be used as a ‘pressure tactic’, but as an enabler, especially for children with learning challenges, she added.

Facebook and Google readily offered 80 lakh INR + salaries to the exceptional students at NIT.
The Delhi Technological University, until last year, did not see great packages. The highest offered was 58 lakh but this year, Google offered 93 lakh INR, which speaks volumes about the boost in talent at this college.

The average package offered at IIT-Ropar in 2013 was 10.7 lakh INR.

DPS Gaya Prep admission notification 2015
Delhi Public School, Gaya has announced admission process for prep.
VTU centralises placements
Students of engineering colleges in rural areas as well as those that are not considered to be in the top league are set to benefit from the Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) decision to streamline the placement process. Hitherto, most campus placements were restricted to colleges in main cities.
For the first time, the VTU will conduct centralised placements for the batches of 2014 and 2015. Instead of companies visiting individual college campuses, the placement process will be conducted for colleges clubbed together at the VTU’s regional centres.
Explaining the rationale behind the centralised recruitment drive, VTU Vice-Chancellor H. Maheshappa said the centralised system was aimed at providing equal opportunities to students from across colleges, especially in rural areas, as campus placements were earlier concentrated on Bangalore-based colleges.
This follows an experiment done last year at the University B.D.T. College, Davangere. “Companies too conveyed to us that it is difficult to visit each college. Under the new system, they will be able to select from a larger pool of students and those from rural areas can benefit out of this,” he said.
Geo D’Silva, placement officer, VTU, said the first phase of the recruitment drive would have around 15 companies participate and would be open to students from undergraduate and postgraduate disciplines. Students interested in participating in the recruitment drive had to register and clear a company-specific online test on November 5 to be eligible. They would later be called for the interviews.
Around nine companies will be recruiting students from the 2014 batch, eight companies from the 2015 batch and two each from MBA and M.Tech. batches.
