Anand (Gujarat): Ask her to do complicated additions, subtractions or multiplications and the answer springs to nine-year-old Payal Merja's lips almost instantly. She is the girl who won an all-Gujarat arithmetic contest this month. It is an arresting experience to see Payal, her eyes blinking, her fingers tapping, as she uncovers solutions at lightning speed.

IT recruiters turn their back against IITs

Mumbai: Students of Masters of Technology (M Tech) at the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) have been hit hard by the IT firms' decision to hire fewer students this year. According to the IITs, only 25- 40 percent of the M Tech students have been placed so far compared to 90 percent placements last year, even with IT firms being the largest employers of M Tech students, reported Business Standard.

"We have around 450 M Tech students of which only 20 percent have been placed so far.

Manipal University to launch courses in alternative medicines

Manipal: Alternative medicines such as Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy will soon be part of the curriculum of Manipal University. This was announced by H.S. Ballal, Pro-Chancellor of the varsity on Monday during the inaugural session of a two-day national workshop "Ayurvision - 2008" focusing on "Recent advances in Amavata" (rheumatologic diseases). The workshop was organized by the Kasturba Medical College and Hospital. Prof. Ballal said, "Manipal University has yet to get approval from the regulatory body to start courses in alternative medicines." Ayurveda has bright prospects. The biggest factor that favours Ayurvedic medicines is that they do not have toxic effects. But, a lot of work needs to be done to bring in standardization of Ayurvedic medicines. Some herbs were being used in Allopathic medicines also. Ayurveda was popular in the western countries and a lot of research on it was being done there. "An agreement ...

'India's home-grown technology is world class' - ISRO Chief

Mysore: Delivering a lecture on India's achievements in Space Technology at the Institution of Engineers (Mysore) recently, Chairman of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), G. Madhavan Nair, said that the successful Chandrayaan mission has proved that India's home-grown technology is world-class.
