After the declaration of class XII results in the country, it is time that students take up the next step for pursuing higher education. The admission process has commenced in the universities and institutions. Annamalai University being one among them has witnessed as many as 7,651 aspirants applying for admissions to MBBS and BDS programmes in the University for the academic year 2014-15.
According to a release for the university, around 11,654 candidates have sought admissions to BSc (agriculture/horticulture) courses; as many as 2,545 candidates have applied for engineering courses and 947 for BPharm, BSc in nursing and bachelor of physiotherapy courses.
Three percent seats are reserved for differently abled candidates in the university. The merit list will be drawn on the basis of marks obtained by the candidates in the relevant subjects in higher secondary examination or other equivalent examinations. Students will be called for counseling in the order of merits, following the rule of reservation.
Punjab dental colleges are at the threat of zero admission due to lack of candidates scoring the eligibility marks in the All India Pre-Medical Entrance Test (AIPMT).
The association of private dental colleges has come up with a proposal of sponsoring the state government to conduct s separate state-level test for admission in dental colleges.
According to sources, students who score less than 50 percent marks in AIPMT cannot get admission either in MBBS or BDS courses in Punjab. Around 1300 students have scored the mandatory 50 percent mark which is equal to the MBBS seats available in Punjab. It is a matter of concern both for the dental colleges and dental aspirants because students who managed to meet the eligibility criteria will be absorbed in MBBS courses and there would be hardly any candidate left to get admission in BDS in Punjab.
Vikram Sharma, patron of Punjab Unaided Private Medical and Dental Colleges Association stated that, since AIPTM is a national level entrance test, the Punjab students who are on the top merit list will opt for prestigious medical colleges outside Punjab, which will lead to a scenario where all the eligible students of Punjab will get admissions in MBBS courses and the BDS seats would remain vacant.
The association is also demanding that either the Punjab government should allow to admit students on the basis of class XII examination merit, which is done in other states. They also have proposed an option to allow the colleges to conduct their own entrance test to frame a separate merit list.
Sharma further added that if the state government agrees to conduct a separate test for the benefit of Punjab students, the association is ready to sponsor the state government and bear all expenses. Punjab has 12 private and two government dental colleges having total BDS seats of 1280.

India has finally become the 17th member of the exclusive Washington Accord. This will allow Indian students to practice engineering in other member countries.
Raman Menon Unnikrishnan of California State University, Fullerton is one of the individuals who pleaded this case with Dinesh K Paliwal, member secretary, National Board of Accreditation (NBA) and with education secretary Ashok Thakur. Paliwal had organised the World Summit on Accreditation in 2012 for the purpose of clearing the misunderstanding about the Indian system. The accreditation process had commenced during late Arjun Singh’s tenure as HRD minister. India was included as a temporary member during Kapil Sibal’s time. Later, Washington Accord team decided to undertake a comprehensive audit of NBA.
However, Washington Accord would not be valid for IT engineers. In order to create similar equivalence of programmes, India needs to sign the Seoul Accord too. Even after becoming part of Washington Accord, not all the engineering degrees by all Indian colleges will get equivalence with those of other member nations.
NBA has already selected 220-odd Indian engineering colleges as Tier-I institutes whose UG engineering courses would be in sync with the requirement stated under the Accord. However, IITs/NITs/BITS Pilani and many Tier-I institutes will now have to apply to NBA and will be declared a part of Washington Accord after extensive verification of their programmes.
NBA has also provided a roadmap to list of Tier-II institutions to prepare them to become the next members of Washington Accord.
New figures released by UNESCO’s Education for All (EFA) Global Monitoring Report has shown that India’s aid to basic education fell by 10 percent as financial help declined by USD 278 million between 2010 and 2012. The financial assistance from donor nations and organizations party declined due to nagging economic woes across the globe.
Also, global aid to education has declined by over 6 percent between 2010 and 2011 and a further by 3 percent in 2012. During this period India’s margin fell by 10 percent. India has witnessed the largest cuts in aid to basic education as it declined by US$ 278 million. In 2012, India was one of the top 10 countries to receive international aid on basic education. Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Indonesia and Palestine were the top five countries for aid disbursements to basic education in 2012.
The top five donors to India, the UK, European Union (EU), World Bank, Germany and the UNICEF, slashed their aid flow. These figures were announced just ahead of the Global Partnership for Education’s Replenishment Pledging Conference in Brussels slated for June 25-25 2014. At Brussels conference, donors are being asked to raise an amount of US$ 3.5 billion for supporting education initiatives for under developed countries.
The reports revealed that financial aid is of absolute importance for many countries. India and Pakistan are the countries with the largest cuts in financial aid to basic education sector from 2010 to 2012. Ironically, both these countries are among the top five countries in the world with respect to most children out of the school. South and West Asian region is worst affected with disbursements falling by 26 percent between 2010 and 2012.

Dr R P Dubey, Pro Vice Chancellor, Dr CV Raman University, calls for establishing Research Parks in universities to bridge the gap between industry and academia
Institutions across the world are coming up with new ways of imparting education. How are you bringing innovation in pedagogy at your institute? To come up with new and advanced ways of imparting education, a set of skills, habit of mind and subject knowledge is required. We are committed to create a conductive atmosphere in teaching, learning, research and practical extension of other activities with several new initiatives.
How important is it to have a strong academia-industry linkage for an engineering institute and what it means to the students? Every industry linkage aims at providing a common platform for engineers, researchers and technologists to present their ideas, innovations and views in the emerging areas of engineering and technology. A strong academia-industry linkage means giving a strong academic insight through valuable participation towards the path of success for the students, scholars and faculty members.
For strong academia-industry linkage, institutes should have Research Parks in their campuses. Research Park is a place where research companies come and conduct research in partnership with academia. Innovative minds from the industry and academics meet here on one platform to exchange and create new ideas for bringing out technological advancements. Along with this, students work here to acquire innovations and skills with deep academic insight to possess a huge treasure ofknowledge. Classroom teaching, although essential is not enough to learn innovations and creativity.
“Research Parks offer platform for innovative minds from the industry and academics to exchange and create new ideas for technological advancements”
How can the gap between industry and academia be bridged? Please share some of the unique initiatives taken up by your institute. In the present scenario, there is a huge gap between industry and academia. This gap can be filled up by establishing the ‘Research Park’ in the campus. It provides a common platform to both industry and academia for innovation, creativity, technology generation and product and process development. It is a means to convert intellectual capital of both the institute and industry into usable goods and devices. Moreover, it acts as a mechanism to build synergy between industry and institutes. Besides this, we can proceed through a collaborative curriculum development, laboratory development and other research development programmes in certain areas where both can contribute meaningfully and exchange the ideas.
We have signed an MoU with Microsoft for enhancing the course curriculum activities. Microsoft provided Office-365(A2) SKU for the faculty and students. We have facilitated industrial visits and tours for students for an exposure to industrial environment. We regularly organise seminars, workshops, techno fests, quiz, training programmes and other personality development, skill-oriented programmes to enable the growth of leadership qualities. We have been undertaking and guiding various state level and national level projects.
What is the importance of an incubation centre? ‘Success’ in the global market today means creating and applying new technology faster than one’s competitors. World winners are those who develop talent, technology, techniques and tools advanced enough to beat competition. So, an incubation centre is also as important as success in the global market.

Students complain that most engineering institutes impart theoretical knowledge rather than giving practical assignments. Has the trend changed in recent past? It is true that the engineering institutes pay more attention towards theoretical knowledge than practical learning. However, it has been noticed that the industries are taking initiative in this regard and are giving practical assignments to the students as per industry needs. The colleges are also trying to become a centre of excellence in certain areas for the industry. However, the pace
is very slow and requires momentum.
What is the importance of an incubation centre and tell us about your plans to install one? Recognising the importance of incubation centre, many national level institutions like IIT, etc have already taken initiativesto nurture talent with the help of incubation centres.
The incubation centres provide a host of services to new enterprises and facilitate networking. The students can turn their plans into reality through the incubation centre. The institute has entrepreneurship development cell through which students are encouraged and made aware of the various possibilities of exploration in engineering. Through entrepreneurship development cell, the college has organised many workshops.
How has been your college’s placement in recent years? Do you think there is sufficient demand in the industry for the engineering graduates? There is a good demand in the industry for the skilled engineers. Every year from our institute, 60 to 70 percent students
are placed in the industry through the college placement programme. To inculcate the industrial skill set, the college trains students from the second year. The basic branches such as civil, electrical and mechanical are in good demand.
What is your expectation from the next government? The institute expects that the government will encourage research through funding for resolving local problems so that the students, faculty members and the society at large are benefited.
S L Agrawal, Executive Director, JECRC Foundation, talks about the role of the institute in overall development of students
Students complain that most engineering institutes pay more attention towards imparting theoretical knowledge rather than giving practical assignments. Has this trend changed in the last few years?Institutes across the world are coming up with new ways of imparting education. How are you bringing innovation in pedagogy at your institute? JECRC Foundation nurtures the essence of growth in education and its holistic approach focuses on overall development of its students. It is nurturing the talent in its unique way. Our motto is to generate ‘Eduprenures’ from engineers. The training of students starts from the inception. They are classified under Tutor Guardian Protocol. Every student is assigned to one faculty member for coming four years. Students are taught research-based learning skills where the environment plays a crucial role. Each and every student must submit projects in the journey. These projects will imbibe the spirit of innovation in student. The success of this idea can be measured from the fact that our maximum students get funding under student projects from Department of Science and Technology, Government of India.
Yes, this trend has drastically changed during the last few years. Throughout the globe, there is a demand that students should be well suited for industry and this is possible only if the affiliating universities drastically review and revise the syllabus keeping in view, the industry requirements. Our faculty and senior authorities are putting in extra efforts to generate novel methods of teaching so that our students are able to tackle various challenges in industry. Keeping oneself updated is also important for engineering students. Our labs are well equipped with modern tools and technology. Our joint collaborations are also helping us well, while the support system of alumni is also appreciable. Overall, the 85 percent placement is the mirror image of our success in current scenario.
What is the importance of an incubation centre and tell us about your plans to install one? We have an incubation centre called JU Technology Incubation Centre. It aims to attract students to develop their entrepreneurial skills. The centre encourages students to develop new ideas and innovative products. The centre also mobilises resources for product designing and undertakes feasibility study on commercial ventures for the products. The university has also garnered momentum with venture capitalists in organising funds for such innovative products. Workshops and seminars are conducted to provide exposure in design and development of new products and also to encourageentrepreneurial skills.
How has been your college’s placement in recent years? Do you think there is sufficient demand in the industry for the engineering graduates? The foundation has set an exemplary placement record with its students being chosen by industry leaders, year after year. It has been hosting the ‘Standalone Recruitment Drives’, where leading business houses participate to test the mettle of the students of JECRC Foundation. Some of the companies that recruit students are IBM, DELL, TCS, Nokia- Siemens Networks, Asia Motor Works, Taj Group, Tata Technologies, Essar Steels, AS2Z Group of Companies, Uttam Galva (Steel), Patni Computers, STG International Inc., LG Electronics, L&T India, Infosys Technologies, Benchmark Broadcasting, Reliance Industries, Tech Mahindra, etc.
