  Key drivers:

  • Inaccessibility of proprietary content, which was just developed by coaching classes
  • Spread of content generators for democratizing great content
  • Cheap Android tablets acting like catalyst from 2013 to 2015, but this momentum was stalled due to their unreliability
  • Momentum shifted towards iPads and Windows-based 2in1s since 2015 as these products are real value for money
  • HTML5 has also made content platform agnostic so moving from one platform to another is very easy.

  Evaluation procedure:

  • Three parties are involved-Hardware, Software and Warranty Services
  • Hardware available at all price points but buyers must keep in mind that cheaper hardware is cheap because the lifespan is less
  • The best model of selecting the ideal software is to do research on other institutions regarding which platform have they picked and what problems are they facing
  • Large dependency on Cloud, so investing on an outsourced cloud is the best option, one can move from one platform to another giving one freedom on cost and infinite scalability
  • Picking the Software platform on monthly models, so there must always be some pressure on the partner to keep improving their services
  • Warranty ‘n’ Services being a very crucial part- It is much better to buy a rupee15000 tablet with three years additional warranty at 5000 (total becomes 20000), instead of a rupee6000 tablet which will stop working after six months.
Case study:
Experience comes after working with a large number of educational institutions. Notion Ink has avoided going into the price ways by bringing in cheaper hardware which doesn’t last. The focus is also on Windows as this is the best platform for educational institutions. Google doesn’t use Android as Android is not built for anything else than for a phone. Institutions need mathematical programming, developmental, testing, and various other tools with flawless integration with all their accessories. Moreover 2 in 1 packs in all the features of tablets and laptops. Notion Ink devices make writing, tagging, multi-touch interactions and keyboard input possible at every instant.

Making of a Digital India with eduPERIPHERALS

By
digitalLEARNING Network
-

Confused with the term ‘eduPERIPHERALS’? Maybe, we haven’t heard it or used it anywhere; but as they say, there is always the first time for everything! digitalLEARNING is known for bringing out new things, so let us coin-in a new phrase now! Abha Garyali from Elets News Networks (ENN) brings out the growing popularity and future growth prospects of the eduPERIPHERAL industry, straight from (as they say) the ‘horse’s mouth’

eduPERIPHERALS, as the term suggests stands for the PERIPHERALS which have proven their worth in the education system. As PERIPHERALS include a wide array of auxiliary devices, connected to the Personal Computer in any way so it’s more logical not to include them by large. In the article, we would be emphasising on largely the PERIPHERALS used in the modern Learning- Teaching process, ie- Personal Computers, Laptops, Smart Phones, Tablets, Interactive Screens and Interactive Pens.

eduPERIPHERALS as Marketing Differentiators
 It has been a decade of using personal computers in schools, but there is a large difference now. As compared to earlier, where PCs were just used in computer classes, now everything from A to Z is being done on computers. It’s not just PCs but also laptops as well as mobile phones and tablets, which are making a huge difference.
According to a recent study, Indian users, spend more than 4 hours every day, on an average, with their smartphones. Therefore, it is high time that the same mobile phones are used to revolutionise the Indian education sector!
Moreover, any nation’s progress depends on the system of education adopted by it to prepare the next generation. With the proliferation of peripherals in all walks of life, it was need of the hour for the education system in India to remodel and upgrade its delivery system.
Nothing but mobile phones, tablets, laptops etc can help in the quick conceptualisation of smart education systems. This can be mainly attributed to the fact that India is now the second largest smartphone market in terms of active unique smartphone users, with the total base crossing 220 million users, according to a new report from Counterpoint Research. The research firm’s data showed that in India LTE shipments reached 32 Million units in 2015, while smartphone shipments crossed 100 million for all of 2015. The last quarter saw smartphone shipments in India grow at 15 per cent annually.
Talking about tablets, making waves in the education system, in a recent news, in Hyderabad, many pre-school chains have made it compulsory for parents to buy tablets for their kids who are in play school or studying in classes till UKG. This shows the dependency that teaching can have on tablets. According to market reports, India saw sales of about 475,000 units of media tablets in the last calendar year. As stated in a report from research firm ‘Frost & Sullivan’, the tablet PC user base in India has increased from 60,000 units in 2010 to 300,000 in 2011. The report further says that overall tabletPC user base is likely to grow at a CAGR of 107 per cent to reach 23.38 million by 2017.

It is need of the hour for the education system in India to remodel and upgrade its delivery system, because India is now the second largest smartphone market in terms of active unique smartphone users, with the total base crossing 220 million users, according to a new report from Counterpoint Research

Salient Features vis-á-vis Educational Usage
 eduPERIPHERALS need to have few basic features to prove their worthfulness, especially in the education system. Some of these are mentioned below:
Pricing range: Being for specially the students, the price of the PERIPHERALS is most important. Small kids as well as higher education students cannot afford very expensive smartphones, laptops, tablets etc. Therefore, good brands are launching reasonably priced products.
Financing Schemes: Financing options should be available to students so that buying becomes convenient for them.
Robustness: Being for students, these PERIPHERALS need to be essentially robust in their handling. Water-resistant, drop-resistant, shock-proof gadgets are being manufactured.
Key Features: Any eduPERIPHERAL should include key features like good battery life, storage drive, easy keypad, network connectivity etc.
After-Sales support: PERIPHERALS like mobile phones, tablets etc need to have support throughout from the manufacturer so that consumers (students) do not have a tough time.

Government Policies to Boost eduPERIPHERALS
 With the present government totally involved in transformational programmes like Digital India, Make in India, Skill India, Startup India, Standup India and smart cities for changing the face of the nation, many initiatives have been taken for making India ‘Digital’. One of the most prominent among them is the setting up of the ‘National Program on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL)’ by the ministry of human resources development. The aim of NPTEL was to develop curriculum based video lectures and web courses to enhance the quality of engineering education in India.
In another scheme in UP, under the Akhilesh Yadav Government, laptops were freely distributed among students for developing the laptop culture.
Moreover, initiatives by Educational as well as Corporate are also being made for digitizing India. Pearson Education, HCL Infosystems and Aakash Educational Services Limited (AESL) are some of the few companies who have specially launched their tablets for educational purposes. While talking about corporates boosting eduPERIPHERALS, name of Microsoft India can not be left out. Microsoft, since 25 years, has been running several initiatives in India and partnering with students, educators, school leaders as well as with governments and communities to transform education through effective technology, pedagogical innovation and best practices. Microsoft has collaborated with third-party Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to offer highly subsidized Windows tablets and PCs running free software to help state governments across India in providing students with a window into a new world. Windows software is free for OEMs manufacturing devices that are under 9 inches in size. Microsoft has also partnered with the Government of Meghalaya to create digital classrooms, and contribute to their vision of expanding digital literacy.

According to market reports, India saw sales of about 475,000 units of media tablets in the last calendar year. As stated in a report from research firm Frost & Sullivan, the overall tablet PC user base is likely to grow at a CAGR of 107 per cent to reach 23.38 million by 2017

Trend of Refurbished eduPERIPHERALS
Everything starts and ends with only one thing- COST factor! Especially in the education scenario, being cost effective makes the product popular initially. However, getting great quality at a reasonable price is somewhat dicey and many students make their parents spend a lot on buying expensive gadgets. Keeping this in view there is growing demand for refurbished eduPERIPHERALS. These professionally restored devices ensure that you always get top-notch performance along with availing brand warranty on them. Now, due to increasing popularity many big brands along with specially created websites take pride in giving easy access to a long list of quality assured refurbished phones and tablets at the most reasonable prices.

Marching Towards IPO :: Emerging trend in education enterprises

By
digitalLEARNING Network
-

In an exclusive interaction with digitalLEARNING, Nikhil Mahajan, the Chief Financial Officer and Executive Director, CL Educate speaks in greater detail about the company, its firm foundations, its diversified portfolio, its growth prospects and its innate intent to file for an IPO

What is thriving at CL Educate?
 CL Educate has a thriving and diversified business portfolio whereby test prep segment accounts for only 40-45% of the revenue accrual.
The publishing division of CL Educate under the auspices of G K Publications bring about authentic reference & preparatory material for various entrance examinations.
The organisation is working closely with the Governments of Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Odisha and Gujarat for their Skills Enhancement programmes, leveraging their ample expertise in the domain of test preparation.
The group has 7 Schools to its kitty having a total installed capacity of 6000 students, expandable to 11000. The current capacity utilisation is at 50 percent. Instead of adding new ones, the focus shall remain to grow to the full potential.

To what extent, would you augment your international portfolio?
Not Much. The total revenue expectation from the international operations is being seen not more than 4-5 percent of the entire revenue inflows.

What are the underlying reasons for going the IPO way?
 Well, the way we look at IPO is more of a landmark or milestone in our company’s progression. We have had been working for the last 5-7 years preparing ourselves to get listed. It’s more of a strategic opportunity for us to create a sizeable stable enterprise in the domain of education.
Offloading the burden of two of our private equity investors – Gaja Capital and HDFC, along with a number of individual benefactors, is also on cards, by way of raising some Rs 300-350 crores from the market.

Where do you see the maximum action happening in the education section?
 For us at CL Educate, we are expecting a double-digit growth across all our business portfolios. We have always stood for a balanced growth, though the revenue mix varies for historical reasons.
In such a vast country, with progressive demographic trends, education sector happens to be one of the largest one and is slated to grow by leaps and bounds. The achilles heels, however remains the utter disorganization and non-systematic unprofessional governance of educational enterprises. This has brought some dis-repute to the sector, when it comes to public offering.

What are the core operational strengths at CL Educate?
 We have evolved as an entirely process driven organization, with sound technological fundamentals. All our centres are connected through a dedicated in-house ERP system. Our testing platform is again our in-house creation which empowers the core business vertical of ours. We have moved towards a cloud-based governance ecosystem and content dissemination regime. Our mobile apps are a big sensation amongst our students at large. Though the direct revenue from the online sales is pegged at 5 percent but it’s support system has helped us scale and sustain the momentum of our growth.

Ranil Herath, Managing Director – International, DeVry Education Group talks about his recent visit to India and future plans in an interview with Elets News Network (ENN)

What has been the focus of your India visits?

The focus of our visit has been to interact first hand with prospective students interested in studying in the U.S. It is always good for the management to hear first-hand versions of their aspirations, what they are looking for and to find out if we are providing that support and not just rely on secondary or external resources.

Additionally, visits also allow us to meet and engage with stakeholders in the market including various partners and organizations, and learn more about the trends in the market. These are not just for the industry, but for students as well as their parents also. There is a lot to observe on every visit and many best practices to learn from.

We also love to visit India for the South Indian breakfast followed by North Indian dinners.

What’s the DeVry Education Model?

DeVry University does not have any such collaboration programs, but we do offer direct online programs. Students have the facility to study online during the entire program duration, and earn a U.S. accredited MBA by DeVry’s Keller Graduate School of Management, for example. We offer this for all courses with DeVry undergraduate programs and Keller Graduate Programs.

Students also have the opportunity to finish a portion of their studies abroad on campus in the U.S. without losing any credits they have obtained so far in their online program. For example, in MBA, students could potentially study for one year locally in India, and come to a Keller U.S. campus for their second year.

Lastly, we offer a special program for international (including Indian) students who are high academic performers and wish to study in their home office. Based on certain academic and english proficiency requirements, some students may qualify for the American Pathways for International Scholars (APIS). Those who qualify for the APIS program are eligible for up to a 70 percent reduction in online tuition costs while studying in their home country. Should they choose to complete their studies at our campus in the U.S., their credits remain 100 percent transferrable, but the APIS discounted tuition rate will no longer apply.

What steps are you taking to promote the participation of Indian students in DeVry University? DeVry University and its Keller Graduate School of Management offer international students the opportunity to gain valuable work experience before graduation, through the U.S. Career Experience Program launched in 2014. These international student applicants of DeVry University or its Keller Graduate School of Management are selected with the opportunity to gain valuable on-campus work experience through a paid, part-time job while attending one of DeVry’s campuses.

Since 2014, we have had 12 Indian students participate as International Specialists who are engaged in real life, paid part time work experience during their enrolment. We have 40 positions available on a rolling basis every year. At present, we have 5 Indian students who are active in this program.

In addition to this, in order to make Indian students aware of our university, it is always great to meet students face to face and interact with them. We meet them at various forums like at their institutions, education fairs and at our partner’s offices.

What all it takes to realize the vision of “To be the world’s most extraordinary learning organization”?

The purpose of DeVry Education Group is to empower its students to achieve their educational and career goals. Our vision is to be the world’s most extraordinary learning organization, where students and colleagues thrive, and to achieve this vision we follow a certain set of values we call TEACH. TEACH stands for teamwork, energy, accountability, community and heart.

Those who qualify for the APIS programme are eligible for up to 70% reduction in online tuition costs while studying in their home country

THE DeVry MARKET LEARNING
Hear first-hand versions of student aspirations
Find out first hand whether that support is being provided
Do not rely on secondary or external resources

What methodology do you follow to make your students future-ready as well as industry-ready?

Our professors at DeVry bring real-world work experience into their classrooms so students get the knowledge to be career-ready. This program can provide international students of DeVry University or its Keller Graduate School of Management who apply and are selected with the opportunity to gain valuable on-campus work experience through a paid, part-time job while attending one of DeVry’s campuses.

In addition, DeVry University students have the support of dedicated staff to help them achieve academic and career success and help with student finance. Our courses are offered in eight-week academic sessions, giving students the flexibility to design a schedule that accommodates a schedule that works for them (students can take a one session break, assuming they maintain the minimum course requirements for visa status).

What constitutes the core of higher education system of the United States? Students should be very careful and do a good amount of research before selecting a particular university for higher studies. They should be very sure of the course they want to pursue, the country they would like to pursue it in as well as the university they select.

U.S. is a very attractive destination for higher studies and universities here offer a range of programs at both the undergraduate and graduate level. The country also offers internationally accepted qualification and the huge diversity of subjects offered is unparalleled. Programmes range from Management, Engineering and Technology, Humanities, Media technology, Journalism to Fashion. USA is at the forefront of Science and Technology research and offers opportunity to be taught by leading researchers.

In addition to this, students pursuing their higher studies in the U.S. have the option of working while studying and not just after the completion of their course. This provides the students a hands-on experience of the real world without compromising on their education.n

TERI University: Facilitating Creation of the Market for sustainable skills

By
digitalLEARNING Network
-

The roots of TERI University can be traced back to 1998, when ‘TERI School of Advanced Studies’ was established. The School was subsequently renamed as the TERI University in October 2006. The University was conceived to cater to the need of disseminating the vast reservoir of knowledge created by TERI, a not for- profit, independent research institute recognised globally for its contribution to scientific and policy research in the realms of energy, environment, and sustainable development. Since its inception, the University offers not just world-class education, but also an environment that enables its students to develop fresh perspectives on their subjects of study. In an exclusive interview with T. Radhakrishna and Sudheer Goutham of Elets News Network (ENN), Dr. Leena Srivastava, Vice Chancellor of TERI University, shares the genesis, vision and outlook of TERI University

Can you explain your vision for research at the University?

India, as well as the whole world, today are faced with several existential crises around climate, water, energy, food and several other issues. Whereas, in the past we had the luxury of time to experiment with solutions, today, we have to focus on designing and delivering on systemic solutions that maximise the probability of successful interventions. The research at the TERI University would leverage its interdisciplinary study programmes to encourage a blend of technical and socio-economic research, which would aim to create such systemic solutions. The University would also seek to strengthen its capacities on Institutional Design and Behavioral Sciences towards this end. Since sustainability pre-supposes resource efficiencies, we would also seek to integrate the application of Information Technology into our research.

Kindly mention the opportunities that are included in the University for operating on the global stage? The TERI University joins only a few other academic leaders that are pioneering academic programmes on sustainability sciences.

We already have a close collaboration with several of these leaders, either in terms of simply curriculum exchanges or including faculty/student exchanges too. We have recently initiated joint degree programmes with a couple of international universities. I hope that, over a period of time, we will be able to function seamlessly with our partners on identified initiatives through a more effective use of Information Technology.

Some key partner Universities that TERI University has had the privilege of working with include: The Yale University, USA; Columbia University, USA; Freie University, Berlin, Germany; Deakin University, Australia; Queensland University of Technology, Australia; University of Technology, Sydney, Australia; Utrecht University, The Netherlands; Rheims University, France among a few others.

What are the main strengths of the collegiate system?

The TERI University is a Deemed University under UGC regulations. As such, it is not permitted to affiliate colleges. We are, however, permitted to establish a few campuses across the country and are progressing on the first couple of such campuses in Guwahati and Hyderabad. We expect to be able to start offering preliminary programmes from these campuses by 2018, if not earlier.
Once again, our focus is to ensure that there exists no distinction on access to resources and quality faculty across our campuses through specially designed ITbased enabling tools.

What do you consider to be the main challenges facing your University?

Our University offers interdisciplinary programmes on various sustainability themes. While sustainability concerns and awareness is increasing in leaps and bounds, this has not as yet fully translated into competitive employment opportunities for students. I have no doubt that very soon our students would be demonstrating the value they bring to any workplace through their contributions to society. We also have to actively increase our visibility and outreach, so that we may facilitate the creation of this ‘market’ for sustainability skills.

How would you like to build on the success of your University’s legacy?

The TERI University is as yet a young University and is still growing. In the last 4 years that I have been at the University, we have added a new programme every year. Each new programme is designed to strengthen the links necessary to provide systemic solutions. Given the exposure of our students to theory and practice, we would now like to establish an incubation centre for sustainability solutions, which would also be open to students from other Universities or other desirous innovators

What, according to you, would be the real success for the University?

Success to me would be in the form of our students becoming the visible drivers for the change that they would like to see in society (paraphrasing Mahatma Gandhi here). Since they would bring about this change by being embedded within organisations, I expect that they would drive this change from within, thereby making it more sustainable.

Success would also be in the form of a more active demand for a larger number of our students, with the value systems that we are honing in them. Together, I hope we can create the force to drive India towards a more sustainable development pathway.

Finally, success would also reflect itself from more sponsored research opportunities for the University and more industry funded Departments/Chairs in relevant subjects.

Since they would bring about this change by being embedded within organisations, I expect that they would drive this change from within, thereby making it more sustainable

How do you continue to recruit and retain the very best staff?

‘Best’ is a value term that cannot be defended. Our attempt is to attract faculty members, who align with our vision of interdisciplinary learning, who are highly committed to their students, undertake active research that would add to both society and academic curriculum, and who themselves are engaged in a continuous learning process. Once we create this culture in the University, and I believe we are getting here, a process of natural self-selection happens which we can aid by designing the right incentive structures. We are still on the learning curve on this subject.

What are your plans for Alumni relations?

We have a registered Alumni Association, which has elected office bearers in place. While this association organises annual event and also encourages Alumni to share their experiences with current students, the University is also trying to see how it can provide continued support to its alumnis. Targeted news services, free participation in events, access to learning resources, etc. are some of the avenues that we are exploring.

There are basically three possible avenues for students graduating with us. First is the obvious choice of many i.e Employability, second is Entrepreneurship, and third is Higher Education. Students can pursue Higher Education here, if they want

What distinguished PES university from other Higher Educational institutes in the state?

We are a State Private University, established under the Karnataka Act No 16 of 2013. At present, ours is one of the most sought after Higher Education institution in Karnataka. PES University emerged out of PES Institute of Technology, which was started in 1988. The objective of PES University is that we want every student to become good citizen first, only then he can become a good engineer and manager.

What according to you are the problems that are being faced by Education sector of India?

The PES University is aware of the problems faced by the higher education sector nowadays. The problems can be broadly classified into three categories: One, it is High Volume. There is a huge volume of graduate students who are keen about getting admission in higher education.

Second, it is of low quality. We do not have enough mechanisms to handle the increasing volumes. Three, is low employability. This is due to the development of automation fields, which affect and lower the employability rates.

pes-universityWhat all opportunities are there for a student who graduates from PES University?

There are basically three possible avenues for students graduating with us. First is the obvious choice of many i.e Employability, second is that of Entrepreneurship, and third is Higher Education. Students can also go for higher education, if they want.

A student has to self assess, as to what is his/her area of strength, and where will he/she fit in PES University. For this, we have also designed programmes, which shall help the students to make informed decisions. For example, we have programmes on entrepreneurship in which we conduct workshops and conferences, which in turn helps the aspirant to assess whether he can make a good entrepreneur or not.

The vision of PES University is to create an ethically strong and global approach for academic environment. The three important attributes to the vision statement are: professional preparation, the ethical behavior of students and their global competence. We ensure that any student who graduates from our university possess these qualities

One of the most effective ways for this can be engaging the alumni in several ways, like we make them talk to the juniors, sharing their experiences about campus life and the professional life. We also try to ensure that the students always get good placements. We advise them not to take or leave a job due to salary. It is always better to make a decision on the type of work the company is engaged in, so that in the long run it helps them to become good engineers. We also tell the students to get a job in the field they are interested.

The University promotes sports, encourages creative talent, emphasises on education for nation-building, innovates entrepreneurship, and facilitates employment generation. “Ensuring quality higher education is one of the most important things we can do for future generations (Ron Lewis),” quotes Col (Hon) Dr N Sundararajan, Vice Chancellor, Jain University, while sharing the University’s best practices, in an exclusive interview with T. Radhakrishna and Sudheer Goutham of Elets News Network

Can you explain your vision for research at the University?

The University chose a vision to `Foster Human Development through Excellence in Quality Education, Research and Entrepreneurial Development`. The Mission Statement of the University states that it shall strive:

  • To provide quality education, creating human assets and intellectual capital
  • To enhance research and development in different disciplines
  • To develop a new generation of entrepreneurs who will be instrumental in fueling economic growth
  • To create able leaders, managers and technocrats

Research and Development is an important and an integral component of the mission of Jain University. It has a research policy, which is a vital document for realising the mission of the university. The following are a few salient features of the Research policy

  • Provide optimum facilities to researchers v Purchase equipment, upgrade labs and subscribe to e-journals
  • Create national facilities like coating lab for fire testing facility with support from Underwriters Laboratory
  • Initiate the establishment of instrumentation center
  • Implement UGC regulation 2010 for M.Phil/ Ph.D
  •  Collaborate with research institutions of repute
  • Create the position of a Dean for Research to coordinate research activities.

What according to you are the main challenges facing your University?

Jain University was declared as a Deemed University in December 2008. The University commenced its programs from 2009-10 academic year. Over the last six years, the University has made conscious and concerted efforts to build on its strengths and consolidate on its achievements.

Jain University is a self–financing University, facing multiple challenges. The real challenge is to ensure academic excellence and to get the best students. We need to build a very good infrastructure and tackle the financial problems. Along with this, retention of good faculty is also a challenge. Being a private unaided University, the faculty and administration have faced serious roadblocks in securing support and funding from Government research funding agencies and getting consultancy projects.

What opportunities are there for your University to operate on the global stage?

The academic and other activities of the University is framed keeping in mind the core values of national development, fostering global competencies and inculcating a sound value system coupled with the promotion of use of technology. Devising to operate on the global stage has been a passion in the university. On one hand, it strengthens the investigation level, enabling to network with best people and developing strong network with reputed institutes of research excellence. On the other hand, these collaborations open multiple opportunities to work on a large scale. Currently, Jain University has 76 major collaborations with various funding agencies and institutes of excellence all over the world. They include University of California, Berkeley; Forum of Federations, Canada; International Association of Centres for Federal studies; Forum of Federation, Sudan; and Konard Adenauer Foundation; Wipro Technologies; Government of Karnataka; ICSSR, Government of India; CNN-IBN and World Value Surveys.

What are the main strengths of the collegiate system? Colleges are vital and integral part of the University system. The main strength is how the University and the colleges coordinate to work together. They are inseparable and they need to work in unison. It is through the good work of the colleges that the reputation of university enhances.

What all do you remember about your University when you were a student?

I am an alumnus of National College, Trichy, University of Madras. During my Master’s programme, I had been influenced by the knowledge, intelligence, sincerity and dedication of my teachers. It was during this time that my interest to become an educationist who could bring about a transformation became stronger and stronger. Driven by the opportunities given to me today, I have been able to implement some of the thoughts into action.

How would you like to build on the success of your University’s legacy?

Jain University has confidently positioned itself as a ‘Space for Learning’ with a stamp of quality, innovation and creativity. The University has set for itself the goal of achieving excellence in its teaching / learning, research initiatives and entrepreneurial ventures. I believe that quality and innovations are always ‘work in progress’. Every day, there is a need for creation of new milestones and raising the bar. I insist every stakeholder of the University to internalize the University’s vision and strive for excellence in every step, in every action, in every programme and in every new initiative. The focus on `quality education for all` inspires everyone in the University to be proactive, forward looking and fully energized to play their role in fulfilling the vision the University has set for itself.

How would you like your Vice- Chancellorship to be viewed in future?

Jain University has consciously ushered in innovative academic programmes and has a special focus on interdisciplinary / multidisciplinary research. I look forward to undertake even more focused cutting-edge research in emerging areas of pure and applied Sciences, Engineering & Technology, Humanities and Social Sciences, which are relevant for National development.

We desire to create chairs in different disciplines in the next couple of years and enhance University-Industry interface. To move ahead in the race, we need to be leaders of globally reputed groups. However, challenging it is, we have to gain international recognition, which would of course be our long term plans. Nothing succeeds like success and for me success means result orientation, quantification of quality work, conversion of dreams into reality and thoughts into action.

How would you continue to recruit and retain the very best staff?

The University believes in recruiting and retaining highly qualified and committed faculty. They are given facilities to conduct research and publish papers. They are also encouraged to go as resource persons to other institutions and the financial implications there on are taken care off by the University. Eminent faculty are associated with the University

For Professional development of the staff following measures are provided:

  • Periodic Faculty Development programmes
  • Motivation for upgradation of qualification
  • Financial support and leave for participation in National/ International conferences
  • Encouragement to take up minor and major research projects
  • Recognition and incentives for publications in indexed journals

Jain University is self–financing. It is, facing multiple challenges. The real challenge is to ensure academic excellence and to get good students. We need to build a very good infrastructure and tackle the financial problems. Along with this, retention of good faculty is also a challenge for us

What are your plans for Alumni relations?

Our Alumni have been our true ambassadors of quality, excellence and professionalism. They play a very important role in building a relationship with various stakeholders and the University.

Many of our Alumni are in important mid-career positions in their chosen domain of expertise. Some of our current students and alumni who have excelled in the field of Arts, Music and Cinema include Ambi Subramaniam (Classical Violinist); Tanvi Singla (Miss Asia Pacific World 2011); and many others.

Some of our alumni have made a mark in the the sports arena.

The Dayananda Sagar Schools and Colleges of Science, Engineering, Health Science, Arts and Commerce are pioneering institutions founded by Late Shri Dayananda Sagar in the early 1960s. A front-runner in the field of education today, Dayananda Sagar institutions (DSI) operate under the aegis of the Mahatma Gandhi Vidya Peetha Trust, in Bengaluru. “DSI’s commitment to internationalisation is demonstrated in its collaborative research and exchange programmes involving global institutions. Besides our high-calibre faculty, the students are given a challenging academic environment with well-equipped resources such as lecture theatres, laboratories, libraries and networking computers,” says Dr A N N Murthy, Vice-Chancellor, Dayanand Sagar University, in an exclusive interview with Sudheer Goutham and T Radhakrishna of Elets News Network (ENN)

After five decades of active presence in education, The Management of Dayanand Sagar Institution (DSI) has established a new private university called Dayananda Sagar University (DSU) in 2015-2016 academic year. How DSU envisions its way ahead?

We wish to reach top 10 research based University rank. We are confident of achieving this goal with the collective support of highly accomplished faculty, state-of-the-art facilities and resources, including ultra modern labs, and experienced global academicians and experience in R&D.

Which are the programs that DSU offers? Share more light on the Engineering branch?

Our institutions are characterized by the quality of education across a broad range of disciplines from Pre-University Courses (PUC) to Post-Graduation and Doctoral Programs, including Engineering, Business Management, Pharmacy, Dental, and Nursing. The DSU in its academic program is offering B.Tech courses in Computer Science, Electronics & Communication and Mechanical Engineering during the academic year 2015-16.In addition, under Engineering, we have initiated M.Tech programs with specialization in Big Data, Cloud Computing, Internet of Things, Embedded Systems, and Design Engineering. Each of these M.Tech programs are driven by Industry needs with experts from Industry participating as Adjunct faculty. Automotive Electronics is one such area.

How these programs are different from others?

Our programs are unique as we bring a lot of importance to these programs and value to students pursuing these courses. Apart from academics, we facilitate regular interactions between industry professional and students. We also provide onsite training opportunities for the benefit of students. Our programs and their curriculums are upgraded periodically as per the needs of the industry. Accordingly, projects are being done in the beginning of the second semester in M. Tech. After the second semester and before the commencement of the third semester, we will have industry leaders visiting our campus to interact with students. Electives will be decided by the students and by the company. This will mainly focus on the requirement of industry, leading to employability.

We are extending this practice to undergraduates too in final year. There is an unique program at Under Graduate level B.Tech Computer Technology with emphasis on entrepreneurship helping those who want to become entrepreneur in ICT. Under the program, students will be interviewed by the panel of industry personnel to assess student interest in becoming an entrepreneur. The team will see how students want to convert their ideas into business plans. Here the focus lies on two sets – one on computer technology, another on entrepreneurship. The industry expert will mentor and help students convert their ideas into a business plan within the span of four years. By the end of the course, students have potential to become entrepreneur as well as a B. Tech graduate. In case, he is not able to start his own business, the experience that he gains through the constant interactions/exercises will help him to become a productive employee.

The DSU on Hosur Road, Bangalore has been named as Innovation Campus, which is highlighted with a tagline ‘Walk in with your ideas and transform it into a product’. Give us details?

This space of DSU is a startup village in the campus for innovation and entrepreneurship. It has a unique working model on ‘Make in India’ by creating an ecosystem for the ICT space and other verticals, including e-commerce. This space is a ready to manufacture, start-off and go-to-market facilities. This resource is open to any individual, our students and ambitious entrepreneurs. We have set up innovation labs in collaboration with multi-national technology based industry such as AUTODESK, Bosch Rexroth, IBM, VMWare, and Bosch Etas. For example AUTODESK Center helps in Design, Analysis, Modelling. An individual can carry out his ideation through 3D model with the help of 3D-printer. Then he can demonstrate it to the owner, and display it to the company. Keeping demand for this concept in mind, we will soon open 11 labs covering different aspects of ICT.

Our programmes and their curricula are upgraded periodically as per the needs of the industry. Accordingly, projects are being done in the beginning of the second semester in M.Tech with focus on the requirements of the industry, leading to employability

hemachandra_sagar

Five years from now where do you see DSU positioning itself?

Dr D Hemachandra Sagar (Chancellor) and Dr D Premchandra Sagar (Pro- Chancellor) have a big vision for Dayanand Sagar University. They wish DSU to be among Top premier Universities in the world. We will grow strength by strength to achieve the goal. As part of the expansion plan, we are setting up a new campus. In another four years, our new campus will come up on 128 acres of land on Kanakapur Road in Bengaluru. The DSU Innovation Campus will compliment the new one. I visualize that in another six years, all streams put together, the annual intake of students in DSU will be around 4000.

What were the challenges you have faced?

We have faced several challenges. Key challenge was convincing technology companies to join the academia like DSU and work with us. Earlier, many technology companies were of the view that faculty members and students were not exposed to latest technologies. Similarly, education institutions felt that technology companies were not interested in working closely with the academia. After continuous efforts for some time, we were able to bring a change in this perception. Today, some of the global companies have joined DSU’s initiatives, working closely with us.

What are the challenges that you see in reaching the goal?

We know that achieving set goal as mentioned earlier is very tough. We see several challenges in the process towards our goal. The biggest challenge we see is to have qualified faculty. To deal with it, we need to evolve faculty development program regularly. The University’s Board of Studies has participation from IT Industry (40 percent) and Academia and Research (60 percent). The Board will take a consensus on the syllabus. I am quite happy with the content that we have prepared. Now, the challenge is to deliver it. We are working on several models to deliver the content with the support of the industry and other premier academic & research institutions.

How do you plan dealing with faculty recruitment?

For recruitment, we prefer referrals and also direct enquiries from qualified individuals with industry experience. We are also in touch with reputed institutions such as IITs and IISc for this purpose.

premachandra_sagar

What are the memborable events in your journey as Vice Chancellor?

Dr. D Hemachandra Sagar (Chancellor) and Dr. D Premchandra Sagar (Pro- Chancellor) have faith in me and have given freedom, allowing me to think and take up initiatives. The network I have developed with IITs, IISc, National Labs, IIMs and Departments at State level as well as National level is helping us in executing development plans we have planned.

Karnataka is soon going to become the first state in the country to go live with Online Admission System at its universities

Come June 2016 and Karnataka will roll out an online admission system (OAS) for programmes offered by its Universities in the State, thanks to the efforts of Shri TB Jayachandra, Minister for Higher Education, Karnataka, and his visionary team.

The OAS is a software module developed by the Department of Higher Education, Govt of Karnataka, with the help of the National Information Centre (NIC) under the “Jnana Sangama” initiative. This online admission initiative is expected to benefit around 10 lakh students or more by facilitating easy admission process for various courses/ programmes offered by State Government-run universities in Karnataka and to much more, indirectly.

“This online admission system is part of a 100-point blueprint designed for the Department of Higher Education’s functions. Of them, 15 modules are related to administration, 22 for Universities, six for colleges, 15 for colleges and polytechnics, 12 for universities and colleges and 30 for universities, colleges and polytechnics,” says Shri Bharat Lal Meena, IAS, Additional Chief Secretary, Department of Higher Education, Government of Karnataka, who is the brain of Jnana Sangama.

The Jnana Sangama programme has been prepared to facilitate ease of administration and academic reach for students in universities and its colleges. The programme aims to provide an end-to-end digital solution from admission to completion of education, covering all functions of the department and its stakeholders. The action plan has mapped all the functions of key stakeholders: students, faculty and administration, and feedback mechanism for parents.

Through Jnana Sangama initiative, the Higher Education system in Karnataka – 50 universities, 2,992 undergraduate and postgraduate colleges, 305 polytechnic colleges and 207 engineering colleges – will get a major boost. According to Shri Meena, all initiatives under Jnana Sangama are interconnected. The software is freely available to all institutions – private and public.

Perhaps, Karnataka is the first state in India have implemented IT reforms in Higher Education, through the University Grants Commission (UGC) had wanted all the universities in the country to implement OAS.

On December 28, 2015, Prof Ved Prakash, Chairman of the University Grants Commission had issued a circular to the Vice-Chancellors of various universities in India, requesting them to implement online admission system for all the programmes offered by their respective universities beginning new academic year June-July 2016.

Notably, it is the Department of Higher Education, Government of Karnataka, which first prepared and placed its blueprint in November 2015 for comprehensive IT reforms in Higher Education, thus becoming a model for other states to emulate.
