Andhra govt to fund foreign education for tribal students

The Government of Andhra Pradesh will fulfill the foreign education dream of at least 100 tribal students every year. The government will bear the fees and living expenses of up to Rs 10 lakh and also facilitate a loan for the student from banks if they need more funds.

Under the porgramme that has been christened as the ‘Ambedkar Overseas Studies Nidhi’ , the students can pursue higher studies in reputed universities in the US, UK, Canada, Australia and Singapore.

As part of the first batch of the programme, 100 students from the current academic year will be selected through an online selection process and interview. They will be sent for higher studies from the next academic year onwards.

Students belonging to the scheduled tribes up to the age of 35 years and with an annual family income not exceeding Rs 2.5 lakh are eligible to seek assistance for post graduate and doctoral programs. One student from each family is eligible for the financial assistance.

The programme resources will be drawn from the SC/ST sub-plan funds. A selection committee has been appointed under the chairmanship of tribal welfare minister and tribal welfare commissioner as the convener.

How We Ranked Them!

How We Ranked Them!

We have ranked 220 engineering institutes in the country based on: Faculty Details, Fee Structure, Research Activities and Placements on a scale of AAA+ to A, with AAA+ being the highest rank on the scale. The government institutes have been ranked based on perception voting and the private institutes have been ranked based on analysis of available data. We have also listed promising institutes in some zones, which have the potential to be in the top league in the coming years.

Ranking methodology ::
Public Institutes: We chose the best public institutes and Institutes of National Importance in a transparent and democratic manner through public voting.
We followed a two-step process:
Step 1: A list of Top 70 government-aided institutes (including IITs, NITs, IIITs and others) was prepared.
Step 2: We eliminated 20 institutes that received lowest number of votes, from the list of 70 shortlisted institutes.Based on the number of votes received by these institutes, we have declared the Top 50 Public Engineering Institutes.
The voting conducted on a popular social networking sites got an amazing response of 10, 097 unique votes. Among the voters, there were 4,829 students and alumni; 792 teachers and academics; 296 people representing coaching centres and 191 undergraduates.

Private Institutes: To gather maximum available information about any institute and ensure its credibility, we followed a three-step approach:
Step 1: We analysed the past three years’ rankings conducted by various organisations in the country. We filtered the list to eliminate colleges not ranked by any organisation in their previous rankings. Further, those institutes which featured only once in any of these rankings were also eliminated.
Step 2: We visited the official websites of 2,500+ institutes and private universities to get information such as Infrastructure, Placement, Teaching Pedagogy, Faculty, Foreign Collaborations and Research Activities. For AICTE
affiliated institutes, we got most of the information from the mandatory disclosures in their official website. However, the challenge was that most institutes did not have the updated disclosure on their website.
We also studied the student reviews in some of the education portals to get a better understanding about the institutions we have ranked.
Step 3: We also asked engineering institutions across the country to send us filled questionnaire in a given format.
Only 72 institutes reverted with filled questionnaire in the given deadline. Simultaneously, we were able to gather complete information of 1,500 odd colleges, out of the list of 2,500+ colleges that we had targeted.

Top Engineering Colleges of India


With the growing number of technical institutes in India, the biggest challenge in front of a student is to choose the best! For an engineering aspirant, time too is a major constraint in doing extensive research on a particular institute. Most aspirants undergo their board examinations, appear for several entrance tests and set out in pursuit of the institute that shall suit them best, based on their score, budget for fees and choice of region. To help aspirants streamline their research, we have shortlisted the institutes in different regions and zones of India and come up with a listing of engineering institutes across the country

International Schools in India Challenges and Opportunities

Steven RudolphIn this age of ‘ice-cream dilemma’ of careers, as an international educationist, I wanted to guide children to be able to pick the right kind of careers for themselves, based on their natures. International education is about having choices, and also the need to get the RPRP approach i.e. right people at the right place/profession.

Steven Rudolph, Director, Jiva Education


Everything has changed – the role of the teachers as facilitators, advancements in IT, etc. Still there are challenges like dearth of quality teachers and resources. International collaboration is a fantastic opportunity and we need to harness it. Updating technology is important, but let us not forget which technology is relevant to our community.

Ryan Pinto, CEO, Ryan Group of Schools, Mumbai


Lina AsharAll our schools can become international schools, no matter whichever board affiliation, through the universal best practices like good student- teacher ratios, assessment for depth and application of learning, and being accountable to parents by demonstrating real performances of understanding by their kids. It is a package of Intelligence Quotient (IQ), Passion Quotient (PQ), Spiritual Quotient (SQ) and Emotional Quotient (EQ).

Lina Ashar, Founder, Kangaroo Kids Education Ltd, Mumbai


Rajeev KatyalGlobalisation has led to the demand for international schools in metros and even in tier-I cities. International exchange programmes, international teaching practices where learning is not by rote, and the use of technology all form part of an international school. Challenges range from quality infrastructure, catering to a growing but niche segment, teacher availability, etc.

Rajeev Katyal, Country Director (India), Global Indian International School, New Delhi


Manjula Pooja ShroffWhy do we live with the excuse that international education is limited to the rich? The theory of connectivism is the way forward, especially for learning in the digital age. Every teacher has to be a part of international teaching learning platforms because we do not live in India, we live in a global world and compete at an international level. We need to improve at the level of municipal schools.

Manjula Pooja Shroff, CEO, Calorx, Mumbai


Priyamvada TanejaInternational education breaks down the barriers of race and culture. Such schools are expected to double in next five to seven years. But there are challenges like the mentality that it’s a ticket for a child’s study abroad, so sometimes the vision behind the programme is lost. Also, acceptance of international education is a problem with the higher education universities in India.

Priyamvada Taneja, Development Manager, India, International Baccalaureate Organization, Haryana


Dr Vandana Lulla,International affiliation, resources, teacher and training costs lead to an expensive fee structure. So the cost factor itself is a big challenge, and it is not meant for all. Prices may only come down if we have many international schools. Another challenge is there are not as many international universities in India for a child to be able to pursue international certification.

Dr Vandana Lulla, Directorh & Principal, Podar International School (IB & CIE), Mumbai


Rita WilsonThe model of education that we have is from the days of industrialisation were, schools are still organised on factory lines; there is compartmentalised subject delivery; and there is no intermingling. We have to start thinking differently about education, and we have to realise what our human capacity is.

Rita Wilson, Former Chief Executive and Secretary, Council for the Indian School Certificate Examination; and Academic Lead, Develop Schools
