58 engineering colleges in UP get zero students!

By: Saurabh Pareek Updated On: 28-Feb-2014, 09:27

 

Of the 1.26 lakh seats on offer through counselling in UP, nearly 4/5th found no takers. 58 colleges could not fill a single seat. Are we reaching an implosion point in engineering education? 

Since 2000, the burgeoning need for good quality technical institutions has seen a spate of engineering colleges being established thereby giving rise to a hope of meeting the needs of the engineering industry with highly skilled and qualified engineers. The reality though is in stark contrast. In an over eagerness to achieve the impossible, permissions and grants have been given to so many institutes that it seems to be doing more harm than good.  Poor quality of education has become the order of the day with faculty crunch being one of the outcomes of the increasing sad state of affairs. With no proper measuring mechanism in place, it is no wonder that a miniscule number of Indian Universities or colleges are known and ranked globally.

This is not restricted to just one state. It is spread across the country with many states having reported a large number of vacant seats. UP, Tamilnadu, Rajasthan, well the story is the same everywhere.

Uttar Pradesh has around 306 engineering colleges and 1.26 lakh+ seats were offered through common counselling seats in various government aided, private and government aided-self financed colleges last year. While the top engineering colleges including government institutions were able to fill their seats, the average and lesser known colleges have been left in the lurch.

Type Of Institute	Total Seats	Total Allotted Seats	Vacant seats	%age of empty seats
Govt./Aided Self Finance	1338	1338	0	0
Other University	2280	1856	424	18.59
Govt.Aided College	3017	3017	0	0
Private College	120249	19936	100313	83.42
Total	126884	26147	100737	79.39

58 engineering colleges in the state of Uttar Pradesh ended up with no seats filled situation which accounts for nearly 20% of the total colleges, where as 187 engineering colleges saw 1% to 20% of total seats filled.  Thus collectively over 245 colleges saw less than 20% admissions.

Is the Delhi-NCR factor only reason for good allocation to the 7 colleges?

Only 7  private engineering colleges managed to have 100 % of the seats filled. And 90% of them are from the NCR.  The colleges that make to the list of 100% allocation include AK Garg Engineering College-Ghaziabad, RK Goel Institute of Technology-Ghaziabad, ABES Ghaziabad, JSS Acadamy of Technical Education-Noida, Galgotia’s College of Engineering and Technology-Greater Noida and the only non-NCR zone college that makes to the list is Sri Rammurti Smarak College of Engineering and Technology-Bareilly.  Proximity to a metropolitan town does appear to make a difference.

Cost and quality does play a role

It is heartening to see the performance of government aided and government aided colleges. All the colleges under these two categories found deserving candidates for all seats which indicates that even though privatization of education has lead to increase in the number of colleges but it’s the government colleges that still occupies the top position and choice for engineering aspirants. Cost definitely is a factor here. And quality too plays a role. Similar trend is indicated in the national and global rankings where IITs, NITs and Central Universities consistently hold the top positions.

Why engineering seats keep waiting for deserving candidates?

The big question is ‘What ahead’? This poor condition of engineering education in Uttar Pradesh is a model that can be seen in lot of states of India. Last year’s data shows that Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh also have seen vacant seats and empty colleges.

Academicians blame it on the increasing number of technical education and sanctioning the increase in seats to already existing colleges by AICTE (All India Council for Technical Education), the authority governing the engineering institutions in India. They also point out that there are no stringent rules followed by AICTE to ensure that proper academic standards must be maintained by the existing institutions and has also been loose in granting permission to new institutes without much auditing and standard check.

Is education just a business now?

On one hand there are new technical institutions given permissions to start and a major fraction end up in part of the herd of average institutions providing lackluster infrastructure and academic facilities like laboratories and libraries. On other hand, the already existing colleges are granted permission to increase the number of seats without concomitant increase in the facilities and resources for the new batch of students entering the college.

Vinod Kumar, a father, himself educated at Banaras Hindu University-Allahabad (Now IIT-BHU) said “I don’t remember colleges and universities having big hoardings and launching marketing campaigns when I was a student. The process was fairly simple-you apply for an exam and if you clear you get admission. But now it’s a show-off game, colleges with deep pockets invest heavily on marketing and promotions which I believe degrade the environment.”

What’s worrying is, what Vinod has point out, cannot be ignored. Yes the education has emerged as a market place and a lot of business groups have entered the domain and are making big money. Marketing and strategic promotional campaigns have been utilized to ensure they target the students has been part of the plan.

Future of engineering education in India-The road ahead?

The path we are on right now looks dangerous. With 80% seats going empty it is sure that we are not heading the right way.  The appropriate responses could be:

• Approval processes need to be stringent so that only the best are granted permission for engineering college or increase in seat quota,
• Audit  process to be tightened to force the technical institutions to constantly work and raise their standards and
• Time bound measures to be put in place to raise the standards of approved colleges are measures to be taken to shut them down.

 But will the authorities act? Will institutions without students be asked to close down? What would be the UP Govt’s response?

33 lakh package bagged by NIT Jamshedpur Student

JAMSHEDPUR: The placement drive at the National Institute of Technology (NIT), Jamshedpur saw the Samsung Group of companies offer jobs to 44 students for an annual package of Rs 8 lakh.

The college has claimed that for the first time in its history, a single group of company has offered such a high number of jobs to the students.

Of the 44 successful candidates, 43 belong to B Tech (42 computer science and one electronics engineering) while another is from the MCA stream, said the college authorities.

So far 73 companies have visited the institute and 466 job offers have been made to B Tech and MCA students in the ongoing placement season that commenced in October last year.

The highest annual package of around Rs 33 lakh was offered by Work Application of Japan to two computer science students earlier in the year when placement drive kicked off. Piyush Golani and Lokesh Khandelwal of computer science stream of the college were the lucky ones to bag the plum offer.

Public sector company Power Grid Corporation of India Limited along with leading private entities namely Tata Motors, Honda R&D, Tata Telcon, Trident and Rancore Technologies, are among the few that have visited the government engineering college so far.

PESIT becomes a University, introduces PESSAT exam

PESIT is the second most preferred college in Karnataka though CET or COMEDK.

The second most preferred college standing right after RV College of Engineering, PESIT has recently received a deemed university status from UGC (University Grants Commission). They’re ever growing campus seems fit in size and quality to meet the standards of a deemed university. The college has ventured into several new programs and schemes to let students have a hands on experience of real industrial IT jobs. The HOD of Computer Science department at PES, Mr. Nithin Pujari had created a new company at PES which would be run completely by their students.

Each student is assigned several projects with the leisure to solve any real world problems or create engineering master pieces. The electives in PES include modern technologies like Cloud Computing and Big data, Inter Atom programming, and even Entrepreneurship.

The original campus is now called PESIT West Campus (Autonomous) and the new one is called PESIT South Campus (VTU). The intention is not to confuse you but to increase the scope of new college simultaneous to the orinigal one.

PES South Campus

The PES group has deeply strived to bring up the scope of their new campus i.e. PESIT South Campus. They have actually combined the placements for PESIT West and South campus together in order to give an image to the new recruits that they would have not have a problem with getting a job their courses if they wish to.

PESIT has decided to give in to the use of techno gadgets used by students. The college even allows cell phones and laptops to be used though you’d have to keep them in silent mode. It won’t be very far since every college would follow the same.

15 Amusing Things That’ll Happen If Arvind Kejriwal Is Made The CEO Of Microsoft

http://www.storypick.com/

Recently, Indian born Satya Nadella was promoted to the post of CEO of Microsoft. While both traditional and social media are abuzz with debates,consequences, factors, pride and puns, we join the bandwagon with a slightly hypothetical route:

What if, instead of Satya Nadella, ‘aam aadmi’ Arvind Kejriwal was made the CEO of Microsoft?

These 15 disasters will strike Windows users worldwide.

1. Office Assistant will wear a muffler

Remember the cute little paper-clip floating around office documents? It can’t stay naked in Dilli ki sardi, muffler zaroori hai.

2. Kejriwal will sit on dharnas to protest against Adobe Reader updates that show up everyday

Adobe, if you’re listening, we’re sick of updating Adobe Reader every time we turn on the computer. So we support Kejriwal on this one.“Dharna All Night”

3. There’ll be donate buttons on Internet Explorer

This is simple: if you want to continue browsing, donate first. Or you can buy tickets to our next dharna.

4. Microsoft Antivirus will stop scanning at 40%, coz Kejriwal is a true Engineer. 40 matlab pass.

Every true engineer will appreciate the fact that “40 matlab pass”. Kejriwal is no exception to this universal rule. Even in Delhi elections, he scored a clear 40% (28/70 seats). So there’s no point scanning for viruses after 40%.

5. Microsoft Logo will be changed

This one is fairly logical. The gaps between the 4 blocks of the logo are meant to hold jhadoos (brooms). Utility over Dikhawa (Appearance). Also Kejriwal is against improper allocation of Real Estate.

6. Windows won’t let you install Antivirus

Coz Kejriwal doesn’t want security.

7. He’ll hold World Upgrade Darbars to determine whether to upgrade Windows or not

There’ll be Upgrade Darbars in every mahulla in every city in the world. The consensus of people will be taken before deciding on the upgrade decision. Yes, coz it’s so feasible. Power to the people.

8. Somnath Bharti will be appointed the Head of Support Team. He’ll crash into your home without invitation and fix your PC.

Somnath Bharti is a workaholic. His only prerogative in life is to make sure your Windows don’t crash and it runs smoothly. He’ll go to any length to protect you. (Psst. He might even intrude your privacy. But it’s for your own good pagle)

9. Almost 99% of Indians will be behind bars.

Piracy, bitch!

10. Skype will be renamed as AAP Connect

Kejriwal’s feet are on the ground(“Zameen”-Pe), so he can’t tolerate a name like “Sky”- Pe. So it’ll be renamed to AAP Connect.

(p.s. The AAP Connect video has been removed from YouTube for reasons unknown)

11. You’ll get a free muffler to keep your PC safe

Instead of Antivirus, you’ll get a muffler. Don’t ask why.

12. User will have to file RTI to know cricket scores

Kejriwal is so honest that he is paranoid about believing anything the media claims. So Windows will have an inbuilt feature to file an RTI to know cricket scores. Ingenious!

13. All your porn activity will be uploaded automatically to the Internet with your passport number

Transparency will be strictly imposed. It means that all your private online activities will be made public. Along with your passport details. Jee haan.

14. Windows will come only in one ‘common’ version: Windows Mango

Everyone should be treated equal. ‘Nuff said.

15. MS PowerPoint will be renamed as MS WeakPoint, coz ‘Power’ CORRUPTS

Everything related to power and enterprise culture won’t be tolerated. Power corrupts, so MS WeakPoint.

IIT Madras highest offer is Rs. 1.3-crore

Tech giant Cognizant came up with 27 offers — the maximum by a company — at the placement season of the Indian Institute of Technology-Madras (IIT-M), this year.

At the end of the first phase of the placement drive that began on December 1 last year, 906 offers were made by 231 companies that visited the campus. A total of 786 students have been placed so far.

The IITs have jointly decided to not reveal the names of the students with the highest offers.

However, the highest offer was a Rs. 1.3-crore per annum package. Eight students received offers worth more than Rs. 77 lakh per annum from international companies, mostly based in the United States.

The highest domestic offer this year was of Rs. 48.68 lakh per annum, and 35 students received offers above Rs. 20 lakh per annum.

Four companies gave more than 15 offers to the students and Cognizant topped the list with 27 offers. Samsung Research India, Bangalore, came up with 18 offers followed by Rajiv Gandhi University of Knowledge Technologies with 17 offers, and Epic with 16.

As many as 145 students of the mechanical department have been placed, topping the other departments at IIT-M. But, percentage wise, the computer science department was ranked first with 90 per cent placement in the first phase.

On the domestic placement front, Goldman Sachs (strategies group) topped the list of bunch offers with 10 offers of more than Rs. 20 lakh per annum. Samsung Research (six), E Bay Inc/Paypal India (four), Schlumberger Asia Services (three) and Intuit India Product Development Centre (three), came up with annual offers of more than Rs. 20 lakh.

Lt. Col. Jayakumar, deputy registrar of students and placements, IIT-M, said the placements would go on till the academic session and beyond.

“The modified strategy of inviting international companies offering international placements on day-one set the mood. As many as 25 international companies began recruitment on the first day in three shifts,” he said.

The second phase of placements is currently on.

(IIT-JEE should be made more…)

MUMBAI: IIT-JEE should be made more inclusive by providing adequate opportunities to talented students from underprivileged families residing in rural areas, Super 30 founder and mathematician Anand Kumar said here.
"As the students from poor families in rural areas start off with serious disadvantages, they need an additional chance. They don't lack talent, but do lack opportunities. Education means empowerment and it has to be non-discriminatory," Kumar said while speaking at the two-day entrepreneur summit organised at IIT Bombay recently.
