Mr. Patwardhan also said that must acknowledge and recognize the efforts of the private sector in the field of higher education. Either the institute is being run by a private organization or government matters less as the most important part of education is research and quality of education. Mr. Patwardhan was present to address the 10th Anniversary Commemorative Conference on Higher Education organized by the O.P. Jindal Global University (JGU) at Sonipat, Haryana.Recently, JUG was recognized as an 'Institution of Eminence' (IoE) by the Ministry of Human Resource Development."Countries that are leading in the world today do so due to their learning and the knowledge and how they influence other countries," said Professor Pritam Singh, Member, Empowered Expert Committee of the Ministry of Human Resource Development for Institution of Eminence."How they further disseminate their information to the rest of the world is important. Knowledge and learning create prosperity and wealth," he added."The vision of JGU is to create an institution that transcends boundaries and to prepare students to face challenges in the future. JGU aims to be a role model for excellence in higher education," said Professor C. Raj Kumar, Founding Vice-Chancellor, JGU. via Education and Job Portal https://www.brainbuxa.com/education-news/ugc-vice-chairman-called-for-one-semester-of-community-fieldwork-9821 IITs raises fees to study M.TechOn Friday, IIT Council approved to raise the fee of the M.Tech courses offered by the IITs to bring the fee structure of the M.Tech courses at par with the B.Tech courses. The proposal was made on the recommendation on a three-member committee on reforms on MTech program in IITs.The agenda item ''Reform of the M.Tech Programs'' stated that "proactively increase the M.Tech fee and bring it at least to the level of B.Tech fee (Rs. 2 lakh per year) over the next three years.""Simultaneously the needy students should be supported directly by the government through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) or arranging educational loans," it added."The committee had recommended a uniform fee structure for M.Tech program in all IITs and for charging the same fee for M Tech as in B Tech programs. Institutions are encouraged to move towards sponsored students or even sponsored programs as per the requirement of industry," an official said.The HRD minister also launched a common portal for IIT and IISc admission. The portal has been developed by the IIT Bombay for the international applicants who wish to pursue their PG degrees from IITs and IIScs."Academically weak students, who are not able to secure the required credits for promotion to the next semester may be allowed an exit option with a degree programme after the second semester, rather than being forced out of the program," a senior HRD Ministry official said. via Education and Job Portal https://www.brainbuxa.com/education-news/iits-raises-fees-to-study-mtech-9820 Foreign students will be allowed to appear for the IIT Advanced exam directlyIn an attempt to promote IITs as a global education destination, IIT Council has decided to exempt the foreign students from appearing for the JEE Mains exam. Foreign students who want to study in IIT will be eligible to apply for the JEE Advanced exam directly.The rule applies to the students who are OCI cardholders.Among other reforms, the HRD Minister had approved the proposal of an early exit for the BTech students. Under this students will be allowed to leave the IIT after six semesters with the B.Sc. Degree in engineering. Encouraging foreign students to study in IIT was one of the major agenda of the IIT Council meeting. Apart from reducing the selection test, the council has also decided to offer a scholarship to each student. "IITs would prepare a scheme for providing scholarships for the bright foreign students to study in IITs. They would also explore the possibility of offering online programs to students both in India and abroad," a senior official said."The process of recruiting foreign faculty would be continued by liberalizing the current regulatory processes," a senior official said. via Education and Job Portal https://www.brainbuxa.com/education-news/foreign-students-will-be-allowed-to-appear-for-the-iit-advanced-exam-directly-9819 |
