The company said, however, that “it will not drop its partners” in the near future. These include Everonn Education Ltd and MeritTrac. “We have now opened two centres of our own—managed and administered entirely by Prometric—unlike other centres which are of third-party vendors,” said Soumitra Roy, managing director of Prometric India. “We don’t know about the future, but will continue to expand our network.” Prometric, which has been conducting CAT online for the IIMs since 2009, is doing so in association with Everonn and Manipal education group-promoted MeritTrac.

The court warned that in the midst of unbridled mushrooming of medical colleges, the quality of teaching faculty, infrastructure etc was being ignored. The court issued a slew of directions to the MCI, while allowing the Sharda University and two other colleges to increase the intake of MBBS students from 100 to150, which was not being allowed by the MCI. “It is time for the MCI to reinvigorate the system to stop unequal growth of mediocre colleges aimed at commercialisation of medical education,” said said Justice Kailash Gambhir.

The award instituted by the university in its silver jubilee year was presented to Azim Premji by Communications and Information Technology Minister Kapil Sibal at a ceremony held here. Focusing on the basics of education through equity, Premji said: "You can't build skyscrapers in air. We need a solid foundation to address the demands." He stressed on the need of integrating IT with mainstream education which would then prove far more useful in disseminating education among adults than children. "Though children learn quickly, but what they require is good teachers," said Premji. "One area of use of IT which is not being exploited as yet is administration. IT has a huge applicability here which can he

It was founded by a team, disillusioned by the quality of other courses, and wanted to put the doctor at the heart of learning. They understand completely how doctors, leaving their homes in India, but excited about working in the UK, soon begin to feel embarrassed when communicating with patients and colleagues because of poor pronunciation. As Ashok Kureel, from Kanpur, now a successful anaesthetist, says:" I just didn't realise how difficult it would be for people to understand me. My English is excellent, but when I first started working in England I realised my accent was so bad that patients didn't understand me, and because of this they didn't trust me either.

The new device is a seven-year-old project of the HRD ministry, started after MIT proposed to sell $100 laptops for school education in India.

Sibal said the new device, whose name will be announced at the launch, will perform all functions from browsing the web to gaming. “That's an enormously empowering tool,” he said, while giving away the first IGNOU-instituted Rajiv Gandhi International Prize for technology to Azim Premji.

More Education News: http://enteranceexamresults.blogspot.com/ London: Modern day children do not know simple practical lessons like how to read a map, tie a knot or use a compass like their parents knew when they were of their age, a study has found. Learning to tie a knot or read a map were once some of the essential skills taught to children as they grew up. But such practical lessons are in danger of being forgotten, says the study by the Scout Association. Just one in five children -- or 20 percent -- in Britain could tie a reef knot or repair a flat bicycle tyre. If they went camping, only half of them knew how to put up a tent, use a compass or cook a meal, reports the Daily Express. However, nearly all the children could send an email and download music. This suggests learning practical skills has been replaced with modern techniques. Survival expert Bear Grylls, also the Chief Scout, has urged children to go back to basics and learn skills which will help them throughout life.
