Scholarship for Engineering Students

2011-05-24T10:02:00.000+05:30

Making education accessible for all is always a top priority for the nation and its policy makers. Given the social intricacies of our country, it is a humungous task to ensure that everyone is getting a fair share of opportunity to grow and prosper in life.

Time and again schemes are implemented for different segments of population especially for the schedule castes, schedule tribes and physically challenged. Many such schemes where both the government and private institutions offer scholarships and financial assistance to bright (but needy) students are currently underway.

The idea behind providing scholarships to students who are meritorious and belong to the above mentioned segment of population is that they continue their education irrespective of the barriers created by their social and physical constraints and eventually be at par in life with the rest of the population.

The National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) recently announced that it will be offering 35 scholarships to engineering students belonging to schedule castes/ schedule tribes and the physically challenged category.

The criterion is that the student belonging to this segment must be pursuing a full-time engineering course from a government-recognized institution. He/ she must be in the third session in year 2010-2011 after meritoriously clearing their first two years. It must be noted that this scholarship is only available for select streams of engineering.

Developing new education avenues to build a strong nation

2011-05-24T09:31:00.000+05:30

Investing in the human capital and retaining it to generate growth is focus of every government. Being a developing nation, India has a major interest in its human resource capital. As a nation, we cannot let go of a single opportunity to attract young minds and encourage them to contribute towards building the nation.

Every state has numerous government and private institutions dedicated to providing education in various streams. These institutes train a fair share of professionals for suitable public and private sector jobs and give them access to better life and career prospects.

For example: Himachal, one of the northern states known for its eternal beauty and tourism is fast becoming a hub of industry-oriented colleges. Baddi, a city in the foothills is an emerging pharmaceutical centre and has an Institute of Pharmacy and Engineering Sciences to provide specialized training to the youth of Himachal and its nearby states. Besides this Himachal government has announced that soon it will be opening two special colleges at Shimla and Dharamshala for providing programs in hydroelectric engineering- hydropower being one of the major assets of the state.

But then there are many factors that restrict the reach of the education system into the far corners of the country. Factors like inaccessible terrain, poverty, social apathy towards higher education in general are hurdles in imparting education. To maximize the reach of higher education and to open up vistas of opportunity for the youth of India more concerted efforts are needed.

Foreign language studies are quickly gaining an impressive reputation

2011-05-24T09:28:00.000+05:30

The new age of information technology has launched a phenomenon called ‘offshoring’ and this has brought to our shores some very promising career opportunities. BPOs and KPOs are a result of offshoring and have emerged as major employers. Industry analysts estimated that the foreign language segment of the BPO and KPO industry will cross the USD $14 billion mark this year. The segment is still in its nascent stage in India but is set to grow in leaps and bounds in the coming years. If you have an inclination towards learning one more language besides your mother tongue then its the right time to do so to convert it into a successful career.

In addition to government-funded institutes and private institutes, there are several university departments across the country which are dedicated to teaching various foreign languages.

Jawaharlal Nehru University is the prominent centre for learning a foreign language. The department of Language Literature and Culture Studies of the university offers graduate and post graduate courses in several foreign languages. Languages such as French, German Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Russian, Korean, Mandarin, and Japanese are taught here. At the end of the course, students are equipped to communicate in the language, perform translation and interpretation of documents and speech.

Another well known institute of teaching foreign languages is The English and Foreign Languages University located in Hyderabad. This institute has been the focal point of learning for past many decades for foreign language students.

Besides the abovementioned illustrious schools of languages, you can explore the private institutes that provide certifications in languages like Spanish, German, French, Japanese and much more. Under-graduate courses are also available. Therefore, you can begin learning a foreign language while keeping an eye on the lucrative jobs offered by BPOs and KPOs after you complete your 10+2.

3. Don’t leave any social media profiles unattended

Active participation is a basic necessity of any social media marketing campaign. Just creating some profiles in a handful of social media sites doesn’t do any good. You should post some content to the social media profiles frequently and make them look lively. Always remember the fact that Google crawls the profiles that are frequently updated. Moreover, the visitors of your profile will love to see many updates. You should also involve in activities like participating in polls, posting in forums, making comments and connecting with the people of similar interest.

Social Media Marketing is a time consuming process and for the moment of truth it is really worth the time you spend. If you don’t have enough time for social media marketing in your tight schedule, there are professional social media marketers who would be ready to help you.

Online Degrees and Online MBA: Benefits You Did Not Know Existed

2010-03-12T16:10:00.003+05:30

Learning the nuances of business is business. Sounds a little off-beam? Consider any business. Money, Material and Manpower are invested with only one purpose in mind: a reasonable return on investment. Your investments are the same while pursuing higher studies. Then is it not reasonable for you to expect reasonable returns? Dig a little deeper and you will find that the benefits of pursuing higher studies are numerous.

Let's consider online degree benefits in general and online MBA benefits in particular.

Online Degree Benefits

An online degree benefits a variety of people. Working professionals, fresh graduates and self-employed persons prefer online education. Others, such as housewives, who are preoccupied with added responsibilities, also prefer online education. Their reason: flexibility which is the hallmark of online education. This is probably the most significant of the online degree benefits.

An important factor to be remembered is that the quality of online education is as good as traditional classroom tutoring.

Another of the online degree benefits that trumps the traditional system are one to one interaction with Subject Matter Expertise, turn around time for any query(s), latest case studies and course materials.

Online MBA Benefits

Let's consider the online MBA benefits from the perspective of reasonable return on investment.

The online MBA benefits you as a working professional, in that, it let's you compete more effectively in an increasingly aggressive world. It makes you more attractive to prospective employers across the globe and vastly improves your chances for promotion. Probably the most significant of the online MBA benefits is the relatively higher salary that you will get paid.

The online MBA benefits to students are no less. If you are one of those who has to necessarily pursue a career, and wants to study further, the online MBA makes this possible. Or if you are one of those unusually ambitious students who wants to get MBA degree simultaneously with a course through the regular stream, the online MBA benefits you immensely. A tangible benefit is the higher salary that such students become eligible for on completion.

Another of the online MBA benefits that can be expressed in monetary terms is the lower fees that you will have to pay when compared to what it will cost you under the regular stream.

The other online MBA benefits are flexibility; time and place become irrelevant. If you are one of those who is regularly on the move, if you have tight schedules, and if your other commitments will not allow you attend regular classes then the online MBA benefits you the most.

A big drawback of brick and mortar MBA program is the lack of choice. You are limited to the programs available to you within geographic limitations. But that is not so with the online MBA. You have the whole world to choose from. And when you begin to interact with tutors and classmates across the globe, you will for the first time in your life realize that the world is indeed a small place.

FAQ's – About USA Online MBA Degree Program

2010-01-23T10:34:00.006+05:30

How does Online MBA compare with a regular MBA?

There is no difference in the MBA’s whether or not it is delivered online or in a classroom setting. Online University design all of its courses using traditional college textbooks that are used at most US based institutions. During the course approval process, all courses are reviewed by subject matter experts who reside at other colleges and universities throughout the US. This level of Peer review validates the quality of the courses and the curriculum

Why should I do MBA from Top American University?

Most of the American University is dedicated to providing a high quality education at the lowest possible price, with access to all students who are eligible to enroll. Their programs are rigorous, but the content is relevant to today’s world. Courses are taught by PhD or similar degree professors who have real world experience. Almost all professors have relevant professional experience in their area of expertise

How well is the University recognized?

Online MBA University’s should accredited by the Distance Education and Training Council. The DETC is the only accrediting association approved solely for the purpose of accrediting distance education institutions and programs.

How does online program work? How it is different from Distance Learning? How often can I talk to my faculty?

Students develop a relationship that is a one on one with the University, its staff and the faculty. The instruction is individual and students can contact faculty at anytime. Faculties are required to respond to all student inquiries within 96 hours, but most respond quicker. Student can contact staff during regular business .Inquiries after hours will be responded to the next day

How do you compare American online MBA program with the program offered by IIT’s/IIM’s. These institutions have a good name globally.

Certainly I do acknowledge the fact that Indian Institute of Technology/Indian Institute of Management in India is renowned and do carry good name in India and in the global market. However the difference lies in the methodology. The program of IIT/IIM is driven through video conferencing and one needs to necessarily attend the program in the campus with such arrangement on week end. Which means you will have to take out full time on two occasions in a week. In fact, NIIT, premier IT training Institute in Asia, is tied up with IIM- Lucknow and offering multiple management programs in India in select cities through VC mode. Two, the certificate offered at the end of the program is Diploma in what ever you have specialized, where as, it is a Masters certificate from American Online MBA University’s, which certainly matters.

How enriched/good is the content of the program?

The content is up to date and relevant. Courses are reviewed annually and updated with the latest materials, when necessary.

I am too busy with my schedule. How can I cope up with the program and strike a balance between work and study? What is the examination process and how are they scheduled, monitored?

Students should expect to spend between seven and ten hours a week per course. Students who find that they have taken on too much course work have several options

They can drop any course within the first three weeks of the semester without a penalty

Students can take an incomplete grade on a course and finish the following semester as long as they complete at least 50% of the course by the time the semester ends

Typical courses have a midterm and final (although some graduate courses may have projects/papers in lieu of exams). Exams are proctored using a webcam with a service called ProctorU www.proctoru.com.

What kind of case studies will be dealt with? How recent and relevant are they?

Most courses at the graduate level include case studies that are relevant. Courses are reviewed every year and update when necessary. Most courses will include case studies that have occurred within the prior three years (2006 and later)

Can u throw some light on the assignment to be submitted and the timeliness?

Most courses have ten lessons. Student should expect to complete a lesson every ten days. Students must submit at least one assignment per work. At this rate, a student can expect to study seven to ten hours per week, per course.

How long one can pursue a semester? Is there an upper limit to complete one semester? Two, how does re examination work out?

Our semesters are 16 weeks. If a student completes their coursework prior to the 16 week semester, they are welcome to begin a new semester.

The re-examination question should be a separate FAQ. All students are required to pass their midterm and final exam to pass the course. If the student fails an examination, they will be contacted within two business days by Student Services that they have failed the examination and she will include a Request for Reexamination form. They have 15 business days to submit the Request for Reexamination form and their $30 fee; however, they have until the end of the semester to retake the exam. The exam remains the same.

Do let us know about the courseware? Is it accessible online or I will be shipped the required courseware. Do I need to pay additionally apart from the regular fees? If so, what is the additional cost involved?

Textbooks are the student’s responsibility to purchase. I will provide the ISBN number for their materials so they can order from any source. Also they are readily available in all the leading book stores in India at less than 20 USD per reference book.

About Online MBA Degree

2009-11-03T19:11:00.008+05:30

What is Online MBA degrees?

Online MBA programs are a popular choice of older adults and mid-career professionals who want to earn a degree without sacrificing their career and family life. Online MBA programs are also becoming a fast favorite of the younger crowd, who are looking for ways to earn a graduate degree while keeping their current employment. Many find that online MBA courses offer a flexibility that can't be found in traditional schools. If you're considering earning an online MBA, make sure you do your homework. Knowing the basics will help you make an informed decision about whether or not these programs are right for you.

How are online MBA programs different from traditional MBA programs?

Distance learning and traditional MBA programs generally share a similar type of curriculum and can be considered equally difficult (depending, of course, on the particular school). Instead of spending hours in class, online MBA students are expected to dedicate their time to studying independently.

Online curriculum generally consists of lectures, readings, assignments, and participation in online discussions. Some programs also offer multimedia components such as video lectures, pod casting, and videoconferencing. Online MBA students from some programs are expected to physically attend a certain number of courses or workshops in order to acquire residency hours. Required tests can usually be taken with proctors in your own community. Online MBA students don’t spend less time studying than their traditional student counterparts. But, they are given the power to fit their school hours into their own schedules.

Are online MBA degrees respectable?

This question deserves a qualified “yes.” There are two main factors in determining a business school’s respectability: accreditation and reputation. Online MBA programs that are accredited by the proper agencies should be respected by your future employers and colleagues. However, there are many unaccredited or “diploma mill” programs that give out worthless degrees. Avoid them at all costs.

A school with a good reputation can also add respectability to an online MBA degree. Much like law schools, business schools receive rankings from organizations such as Business Week (off-site link) that can affect future employment. Online students may not be offered the same high-paying, big corporation jobs that graduates from top-ranked schools such as Wharton are. However, there are plenty of companies willing to hire MBA grads with degrees from other institutions.

Why do people earn online MBAs?

Online MBA students come from all walks of life. Many distance learning students are mid-career when they decide to get another degree. Older professionals with jobs and family responsibilities often find the flexibility of online programs to be a good fit. Some online students are looking for a career change but still want to maintain their current job until they get their MBA. Others are already working in business and earn their degree in order to be eligible for job promotions.

How long does it take to earn an MBA online?

The time it takes to finish an online MBA degree varies according to the school and the specialization. Some intensive MBA programs can be finished in as few as nine months. Other programs can take up to four years. Adding specializations to a degree can take even longer. Some schools allow students greater flexibility to work at their own pace while others require that students adhere to more demanding deadlines.

How much will it cost to earn an online MBA degree?

One online MBA degree can had for $5800. The cost of tuition varies substantially from college to college. Pricey doesn’t necessarily mean better (although some of the more expensive schools have some of the best reputations). Your employer may be willing to pay for part or all of your educational expenses, particularly if he or she thinks you’ll be sticking with the company. You may also be awarded grants, receive institutional or private scholarships, or qualify for financial aid.

Is earning an online MBA worth it?

Many online MBA graduates have used their new degrees to excel at the workplace, gain promotions, and achieve career success. Others have found that their time could have been better spent elsewhere. Those who find their degrees to be “worth it” share several traits in common: they knew they wanted to work in the business field beforehand, they chose a school with proper accreditation and a positive reputation, and their specialization was appropriate for the type of work they wanted to do.

Enrolling in an online MBA program is not a decision to take lightly. Accredited programs require hard work, time, and effort. But, for the right person, an online MBA can be a great way to get a jumpstart in the world of business.

HCL is best employer in IT sector: Survey TIMES NEWS NETWORK

Bangalore: The average salary increase in the IT sector during 2009 was down at 1.4%, according to a Dataquest-IDC survey. Employees under two years of experience earned a 2% increase in salary, while those between 2.1 and 5 years had their salaries cut by 7%. Those between 5.1 and 10 years got an average salary hike of 5% and those with over 10 years experience earned a 4% salary increase. In the survey, HCL Infosystems emerged as the best employer in the IT industry, followed by iGate, Rolta, RMSI and SAS Institute. HCL jumped up two positions from last year, while iGate slipped one notch to No. 2. The survey covered 200 IT companies of which 31 companies were shortlisted for the final round. For the first time, Indias top four IT companies declined to take part as layoffs and salary re-alignment leads to dip in IT employee morale , the survey said. The top four IT firms employ about 40% of the IT professionals in the country. Seven new entrantsR Systems (6), Perot Systems (7), Ingram Micro (11), Sify Technologies (13), Infogain (17), Unisys (18) and Novell (19) made it to the Top 20 Best Employers in IT list. The employee attrition rate came down to an average of 15%, from 18% last year. A majority of IT employees said they changed job for better salaries and compensation (53%), overseas postings (38%), better job security (18%), flexible working hours (18%) and training and development (9%). While the average retention rate, defined as percentage of employees retained out of the total employees as on March 31, 2008, improved to 85%, from 79% in 2008, Hexaware Technologies showed a remarkable retention score of 100. The study also reveals that companies have become more transparent in their communication with employees. They have also gone ahead and adopted a higher degree of professionalism in their dealings with employees as well as customers or suppliers. Another key finding is that more employees are satisfied with the interest shown by their companies as well as their immediate seniors in helping them strike a work-life balance compared to last year. The study reveals that there is a drastic fall in the number of people who feel that their job is secure within their company.
