The state technical education department has expressed a possibility of starting the maiden session of Kota's Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) at the Malviya National Institute of Technology (MNIT) in Jaipur. On Thursday, the Ministry of Human Resource Development had cleared the land for campus at Ranpur in Kota. But, with only two months remaining for the new session, the possibility appears a far cry. Companies like Cairn India Limited, Hindustan Motors, Genpact and Vakrangee Software Limited have tied up with IIIT, making the institute a preferred choice among students after IITs and NITs. The state government had announced the IIIT in Kota during the 2010 budget. So far only the partners have been indentified, grants allocated and land has been finalized. Processes including forming a society, governing council, recruitment of academic and administrative staff, curriculum design and modules are still pending. &quo

IIIT Kota is one of the newly appointed institutes for Information Technology. Its first session is scheduled to start this year after being authorized by the State Government in the budget of 2010. It is a major encouragement for the student seeking admissions in various engineering colleges.

IIT Delhi's electrical engineering department has been ranked the 37th best globally, the highest entry from India across all categories in the latest QS world university rankings!!! IIT Delhi's electrical engineering department has been ranked the 37th best globally, the highest entry from India across all categories in the latest Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) world university rankings. QS is a reputed British education and career advice company, which earlier produced the rankings with the Times Higher Education. Since 2010, it has been producing them on its own. The IIT Bombay's civil engineering department has been ranked 39th, while IIT Delhi's mechanical and aeronautical engineering has been positioned 43rd. Indian Institute of Science ranks 50th in materials science. IITs have come as the only saving grace for Indian universities, which have taken a massive beating in the rankings released on Wednesday. Not a single univ

Students seeking admission to some of the country’s top engineering colleges this year don’t need to worry only about their performance. How others from their school board perform compared to students from other boards in the first leg of the two- tiered admissions to the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) may also affect their chances at selection. Criticised for choosing a selection process that many argue discriminates against students of more competitive boards like the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), organisers of the admission test have decided on a new formula that may negate this bias. But the alternative admission process, made public late on Friday, also leaves students less in control of their fate than earlier. Apart from the percentile score obtained by the student in her class XII exam and her score in the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Mains, the first stage of the two-tiered IIT entrance test, the overall

Depressed over his inability to converse with a senior whom he was seemingly infatuated with, a final semester student at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi, hung himself from a ceiling fan in his hostel room this past Thursday. A 24-year-old, whose name is being withheld by HT on grounds of privacy, was from Punjab and was enrolled in the much sought- after computer science course at the institute and had recently landed a job with an annual package of Rs. 18 lakh at global IT giant Microsoft. He left behind a suicide note, written in Punjabi, which stated that he did not wish to marry or even befriend the woman in question and only wanted to talk to her. He declared his resolve to end his life basing it on his failure to do so. “The incident was reported to us by IIT authorities on the same day and investigations revealed that the incident was triggered by the victim’s depressed psychological state,” said a police officer.

Forty per cent of outstation students undergoing coaching for engineering and medical entrance exams in the city is suffering from hypertension and high blood pressure, a survey said. According to the study conducted by medicine department of Kota government medical college, stress of cracking entrance tests and homesickness has caused 40 per cent of the students, who came here from across the country, to suffer from high blood pressure and hypertension. The study, conducted over 100 girls and as many boys of 16-19 age group, stated that boys are more vulnerable to hypertension. "Modification in lifestyle, yoga and disciplined eating habits could greatly reduce hypertension and stress among the students," said Prof Meenakshi Sharda, who led the research team. The study recommended counselling, health check-up facilities and other motivational activities at coaching institutes to help students cope with stress. Over one lakh students from

The New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering (NZSEE) has inducted Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IIT-G) director Sudhir K Jain as a life member. The citation mentions that the place has been given for his exceptional services to society in recognition of his work in the field of earthquake engineering in India and abroad. The recognition was conferred on him at the NZSEE 2013 Technical Conference in New Zealand on April 27. Jain was a keynote speaker at the conference, at which he delivered an address on 'Earthquake Engineering in the Modern World'. He is the first Indian appointed as life member and one of only 25 current life members in the world at the society. Earlier this year, he was elected president elect of the International Society for Earthquake Engineers. IIT-G officials stated that Jain has been instrumental in creating awareness about earthquake engineering in India since 1986, when he published 'Indian

For past few years IIT’s have been trying to work in a joint consortium to revamp the IIT- JEE process, as most of them wanted to go their separate ways for conducting the entrance exams. After careful consideration and inference from the Education ministry, a two steps joint entrance exam has been devised and agreed for. The first step in the process is JEE (Main), which was conducted between April 7 and April 25. If a student qualifies this exam, has a rank amongst top 1,50,000 and also finishes in top 20 percentile in respective intermediate board results , then they can appear for JEE (Advanced) to secure a rank for getting admission in IIT’s and ISM, Dhanbad. These changes are a menace for administrators as the result of JEE (Main) will come out in first week of May and registration for JEE (Advanced) will start from May 8. IIT-Delhi is the coordinator of this year’s entrance exam and they have concerns over the logistic challenges while conduc

The Joint Entrance Examination Interface Group (JIG) has taken the best of two procedures for normalizing the variation in class XII marks across several state boards and bringing them at par with each other in the best possible way. Instead of relying on one procedure alone, JIG — consisting of B N Jain, vice- chancellor, BITS, Pilani; Ayan Basu of Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata; Dheeraj Sanghi, IIT, Kanpur; Pankaj Jalote, director, IIT; Delhi and P D Porey of S V National Institute of Technology, Surat — decided that for this academic session, 50% of board marks would be normalized by equating percentile amongst different boards and anchoring them to All India JEE-Main percentiles, and 50% be normalized by equating each board's percentile with JEE (Main) percentile marks of respective boards. JIG came up with a slightly varied formulation because it felt the class XII result data pertained to last year and students were not aware that t

The despondent look in his eyes was unmistakable. Sitting alone in a canteen in a coaching institute at Kota, Kamal Singh was accompanying a friend who was seeking admission there to prepare for the entrance exams for the Indian Institutes of Technology. Singh knows the difficulties his friend faces in achieving his goal. A native of Muiyan village in Bihar's Siwan district, Singh first came to this nondescript Rajasthan town in 2009 after completing his Class 12 with the same dream. He couldn't make it despite studying as many as 12 hours a day for two years and spending close to Rs 2.5 lakh, an amount that his small-time shop owner father arranged by selling their farm land. "There was no point in going back," he says. "I had come to be an engineer and could not have returned without being one." His dreams shattered, he now studies in a private engineering college in Jalandhar, Punjab, shelling out another Rs 6 lakh for th
