'India, South Africa need to deepen education ties'

Cape Town: India and South Africa need to deepen and harmonise ties in the educational field for mutual benefit, according to Indian High Commissioner Rajiv Bhatia. Bhatia was speaking at an Indian Evening at the University of Western Cape (UWC) here on Friday, when a bust of Mahatma Gandhi was installed in the campus. "The two countries are linked by a bilateral agreement, signed in 2006, on cooperation in the field of education," Bhatia reminded the audience, adding that India had been working closely with the South African government "to manage and deepen our bilateral cooperation in the field of human resource development". Successes in this regard included 495 South African nationals participating in India's training programmes since 2005, fully financed by the Indian government. But the private sector was now also playing a major role in this regard. "In a welcome development, Indian private sector companies have now come forward to impart training t

"The tentative launch date is October 22 though the window will be kept open till October 26. Depending on the weather, we plan to launch the lunar spacecraft (Chandrayaan) around 6.30 a.m. IST," Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) director S. Satish told sources here. The 1,380 kg spacecraft, built at ISRO's satellite centre in this IT hub, will be carried into lunar orbit by a specially designed 320-tonne Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C11), with six strap-on propellants weighing 12 tonnes each. "The formal countdown will begin 50 hours before the launch in the early hours of October 20. All going well and weather permitting, the final countdown will begin hours before the actual launch on October 22," Satish said. The

UPSC against transparency in selection process

New Delhi: The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC), the conducting body of Civil Services examination in India, has opposed transparency in the Civil Services selection process saying that it would increase the probability of dummy candidates appearing for the examination.The Delhi High Court had earlier directed the UPSC to reveal the cut-off marks obtained by candidates in the preliminary test of the Civil Services examination.It also dismissed the UPSC's apprehension that by disclosing the working of the scaling methodology for the preliminary examination, merit can be compromised and candidates with less merit would be selected. It said: "We are of the view that the apprehension of UPSC is not well founded."The UPSC has also challenged this order with the Supreme Court saying that the availability of raw marks and scaled marks would reduce the Civil Services examination to a play field of strategies developed by coaching institutes.A lot of freedom has been given

Educational institutes under fire for unauthorised foreign tie-ups

20 Jul, 2008, 1557 hrs IST, IANS NEW DELHI: Technical education institutes and B-schools competing with each other to find partners abroad have run into trouble with the authorities terming many such ties-ups as illegal. The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), the regulator of technical educational institutions in India, has since late June served notices to over 104 institutes for partnering foreign universities without AICTE's approval. The AICTE has also served notices to 169 other institutes, including some of the big names in the private education sector, for conducting unauthorised technical courses. Perturbed over the spate of advertisements by private educational institutes during the admission session, the government in April asked AICTE to take action against those making false claims, especially about their foreign alliances and deemed university status. The state governments, too, were asked to take action against institutes that have unauthorised allian

IIT coaching classes a Rs 10k cr industry?

3 Jul 2008, 0000 hrs IST,TNN NEW DELHI: Coaching for admission to the IITs and other engineering colleges has acquired the status of a big industry in India. According to the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry, the size of the industry is Rs 10,000 crore. ASSOCHAM’s conclusion is based on the assumption that six lakh students attend these classes every year and the average cost for each student is Rs 1.7 lakh, a spokesman for the industry body told TOI. The staggering sum of Rs 10,000 crore being netted every year by private academies who coach students for admission tests can fund 30 to 40 new IITs, ASSOCHAM said. Calling for deregulation of higher education, ASSOCHAM president Sajjan Jindal said the beneficiaries of the current system were those running big educational institutions and coaching centres. "The amount of money which goes to these institutions is enough to open 30 to 40 cwith lots of seats that can ensure admission to average candidates," he said. Th

India to upgrade higher education

By Siddharth Srivastava NEW DELHI - Stung by criticism that the lack of higher learning institutions is contributing to an acute shortage of skilled manpower, the Indian government has taken out its red marker and set out to correct its once-renowned education system. New Delhi is looking to start nine new Indian Institutes of Technologies (IITs) this year, to add to the existing seven. Eight new IITs, regarded as among the top schools in the world, are proposed for Rajasthan, Bihar, Andhra Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Orissa, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat and Punjab provinces. Additionally, Benaras Hindu University will be converted into a full-fledged IIT. The IITs and the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs), which are also to be expanded, are the two pedestals of the Indian education system, with alumni now employed as managers and engineers around the world. The IIMs and IITs function under a government charter and figure among lists of the world's 100 best management and technolog
