40% of SC/ST faculty posts in Central universities vacant

Mumbai: Even after four decades of reservation, over 40 per cent of SC/ST lecturer posts are still lying vacant in 19 Central universities. Out of the total number of 4,887 posts sanctioned by the University Grants Commission, there are only 629 SC/ST lecturers belonging to the Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes. This leaves a backlog of 471 as per the 2007-08 data sourced from the UGC under the Right to Information Act.

The poorest record is of the Banaras Hindu University, where out of 155 SC lecturer posts and 74 ST posts, only 86 and 24 have been filled.

Being a minority institution, the Aligarh Muslim University is exempt from reservation. But there is no SC/ST lecturer in the institution in spite of a listed requirement of 193 faculty members from these groups.

According to the Union government’s rule, the percentage of reservation in Central Universities is 22.5 — 15 for the SCs and 7.5 for the STs.

Extrapolation of the data based on these figures shows that the SC/STs still remain poorly represented in higher education. With 629 SC/ST lecturers, their representation is only 12.8 per cent, way below the 22.5 per cent mark, out of the 4,877 posts sanctioned in the Central universities. The “UGC has failed to ensure effective implementation of the reservation policy in the Central universities and grantee institutions which are deemed-to-be universities,” states the UGC guidelines document.
Readers and professors

As you move up the cadre, from lecturer to Reader and professor, you will see that the number of SC/STs starts dwindling sharply. A majority of the universities have zero SC/ST Readers and professors. Sixteen of the 19 Central Universities have no SC professor and 17 have no ST professor. Part of the reason could be that till recently, reservation was applicable only at the entry level post of lecturer. It did not apply to promotions and for higher posts. The UGC guidelines of 2006 mandated 22.5 per cent reservation for Readers and professors as well. But two years later, the hiatus remains intact.

Not much has changed in the past few years, despite the awareness among authorities of the dismal implementation of quota. “I am not surprised at the figure,” says Prof. R.K. Kale from the Jawaharlal Nehru University, who himself has questioned, in the academic journal University News, the feckless implementation in the Central Universities. “It is a slow process,” he admits, although with a note of assurance that the UGC is taking a keen interest in overseeing strict implementation of the reservation policy.

Data from State universities and colleges affiliated to them opens yet another can of worms. State universities follow State-level quota figures.

UGC figures for 53 State universities show a backlog of around 50 per cent. Quite a few of them do not have SC/ST lecturers, let alone professors and Readers.

While academics admit that posts lying vacant is a cause for concern, none of the authorities, at the Centre or at individual college levels, has any punitive power. Although the UGC claims to have upped the ante, the absence of clear deadlines, complex procedures, bureaucratic apathy and, above all, entrenched casteist attitudes make enough pathways for circumventing the law with impunity.

At present, a number of qualified SC/ST teachers, even from remote towns, are battling with the system against unjust contract-based appointments, abrupt termination orders and unfounded rejections by the interview panel, while denial of opportunities continues. In this scenario, the usual refrain of ‘candidates not available’ or ‘candidates not suitable’ rings hollow.

CAT eludes BMS students again

Students of the third year bachelor of management studies (BMS) are up in arms against the Mumbai University. For the past two years, the varsity has scheduled the fifth semester exams on dates that clash with the CAT.

Students said they were missing out on a chance to apply to good institutes for further studies. “It is known that nearly 70% of TYBMS students attempt the CAT to enter into the Indian Institute of Management (IIMs). The exam is always held on the third Sunday of November. But thanks to the university’s poor planning, BMS students do not have time to prepare for their CAT,” said Parag Chitale, visiting faculty in various colleges.

While CAT is scheduled on November 16, TYBMS students have their fifth semester exams from November 10 to 15. “This hardly gives us time to prepare for the most important entrance exam. Moreover, this is not the first time the university has been conducting exams simultaneously with CAT,” said Anurag Korti, a student of Lala Lajpat Rai College.

Another student said, “Since the university doesn’t give us time to prepare for CAT, we have no option but to waste a year and appear for it after finishing graduation. Several students in my class haven’t even bothered to fill up the CAT forms.”

In 2007, while the CAT was held on November 18, the TYBMS exam ended on November 19. “The university never schedules the TYBCom and CA exams together. Then why are BMS students treated inconsiderately? The ideal time for the exams would be the first week of November,” added Chitale.

When contacted Vilas Shinde, controller, examination department, said, “We were unaware of the CAT exam dates. The students should have notified us and we would have looked into the schedule.”

Cannot take mobiles into exam hall: HC

The Bombay High Court, saying that it is “no minor lapse”, on Thursday directed the Mumbai University and academic institutions to ensure that students do not take mobile phones inside examination halls.

“Parents and students should know that no such device should be allowed in the examination hall and if any student is found with it, he/she may lose an academic year and invite severe punishment,” justices PB Majumdar and Amjad Sayed ruled.

Counsel for the university Rui Rodrigues told the court that all examination authorities inform students that mobile phones are not allowed in examination halls and directions are mentioned on hall tickets and the question and the answer sheets.

The judges insisted that “No mobile phones please” should be displayed outside examination halls in bold and parents should make sure that their children do not go to examination halls with their mobile phones. The judges, however, said such cases of cheating were unheard of about 10-15 years back.

DNA was first to report the case of Karuna (name changed), 19, a first year Bachelor of Management Studies (BMS) student at SK Somaiya College, Vidyavihar, who had first moved court in June after she was debarred by her college for carrying a cell phone into the examination hall. Karuna, who was taking her second year examinations in March, took her ATKT paper after that. In her application, Karuna had said in her anxiety before her paper, she forgot to leave her cell phone, which was in the pocket of her jeans, before entering the examination hall. The Unfair Means Enquiry Committee (Umec) had declared her attempt to the paper as null and void. She had contended that the committee did not give her a hearing and the court passed an order in her favour on June 11 asking the Umec to hear her and take a decision.

Umec’s decision did not change. Karuna’s counsel Joaquim Reis said she gave the phone to the supervisor 10 minutes after the paper commenced, realising her mistake.
Advocate for the college KK Jadhav said the phone was confiscated by the supervisor and not surrendered by her.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)

Information

Country: United States
Address: 77 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge MA 02139-4307
Website: web.mit.edu
Switchboard: +1 617 253 1000

Profile
The mission of MIT is to advance knowledge and educate students in science, technology, and other areas of scholarship that will best serve the nation and the world in the 21st century.

The Institute is committed to generating, disseminating, and preserving knowledge, and to working with others to bring this knowledge to bear on the world's great challenges. MIT is dedicated to providing its students with an education that combines rigorous academic study and the excitement of discovery with the support and intellectual stimulation of a diverse campus community. We seek to develop in each member of the MIT community the ability and passion to work wisely, creatively, and effectively for the betterment of humankind.

The Institute admitted its first students in 1865, four years after the approval of its founding charter. The opening marked the culmination of an extended effort by William Barton Rogers, a distinguished natural scientist, to establish a new kind of independent educational institution relevant to an increasingly industrialized America. Rogers stressed the pragmatic and practicable. He believed that professional competence is best fostered by coupling teaching and research and by focusing attention on real-world problems. Toward this end, he pioneered the development of the teaching laboratory.

Today MIT is a world-class educational institution. Teaching and research with relevance to the practical world as a guiding principle continue to be its primary purpose. MIT is independent, coeducational, and privately endowed. Its five schools and one college encompass 34 academic departments, divisions, and degree-granting programs, as well as numerous interdisciplinary centers, laboratories, and programs whose work cuts across traditional departmental boundaries.


Range of Fees

The estimated price for 2007-08 for undergraduates tuition and fees is $34,986.


Basic TOEFL/IELTS requirements

Non-native English speakers have two options, which we consider equivalent.

Option 1: SAT Reasoning Test or the ACT Plus Writing; and two SAT Subject Tests: one in math (level 1 or 2), and one in science (physics, chemistry, or biology e/m).

Option 2: TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language); and two SAT Subject Tests, one in math (level 1 or 2) and one in science (physics, chemistry, or biology e/m). This option is especially recommended for students who do not speak English at home or in school, or who have been speaking English for fewer than five years.


Accommodation


Information on MIT's undergraduate residence is given on MIT's undergraduate housing website:
web.mit.edu/housing/undergrad/


Accommodation Range

Housing (on-campus residence hall) can range from $3,858 to $6,638.

Finance and Scholarships

You are automatically considered for MIT scholarships and federal grants when you apply for MIT undergraduate financial aid. You have to apply separately for state grants and scholarships and outside or private scholarships. Check out

The University of Cambridge is rich in history - its famous Colleges and University buildings attract visitors from all over the world. But the University's museums and collections also hold many treasures which give an exciting insight into some of the scholarly activities, both past and present, of the University's academics and students.
The University of Cambridge is one of the oldest universities in the world and one of the largest in the United Kingdom. Its reputation for outstanding academic achievement is known world-wide and reflects the intellectual achievement of its students, as well as the world-class original research carried out by the staff of the University and the Colleges. Its reputation is endorsed by the Quality Assurance Agency and by other external reviewers of learning and teaching, such as External Examiners.
These high standards are the result of both the learning opportunities offered at Cambridge and by its extensive resources, including libraries, museums and other collections. Teaching consists not only of lectures, seminars and practical classes led by people who are world experts in their field, but also more personalised teaching arranged through the Colleges. Many opportunities exist for students to interact with scholars of all levels, both formally and informally.

There are 31 Colleges in Cambridge. Three are for women (New Hall, Newnham and Lucy Cavendish) and two admit only graduates (Clare Hall and Darwin). The remainder house and teach all students enrolled in courses of study or research at the University
Each College is an independent institution with its own property and income. The Colleges appoint their own staff and are responsible for selecting students, in accordance with University regulations. The teaching of students is shared between the Colleges and University departments. Degrees are awarded by the University.
Within each College, staff and students of all disciplines are brought together. This cross-fertilisation has encouraged the free exchange of ideas which has led to the creation of a number of new companies. Trinity and St John's have also established science parks, providing facilities for start-ups, and making a significant contribution to the identification of Cambridge as a centre of innovation and technology.
In addition to the collections on display in the University's libraries & museums, there is a wealth of sporting and cultural activity at the University of Cambridge, much of it organised by individual clubs and societies run by staff and students. Although the University does not offer courses in the creative arts or sport, there is a strong tradition of achievement in these fields, with many former students going on to gain international standing as artists, performers and athletes. Initiatives ensure that aspiring performers enrich their education with a high level of activity outside the lecture.

    Earth Sciences as a Career Avenue

    Looking for a Career Option in the Field of Earth Science ? This section features Earth Science as a career option, elaborated with reference to the job profile, personality traits required, the courses and training involved, premier institutions and future prospects.

    Overview
    Earth Sciences mainly deal with subjects such as geography, geology and oceanography and are connected with the study of earth, it's changing aspects.

    Geography deals with the areal differentiation of the earth's surface. It includes study of factors such as climate, elevation, soil, vegetation, population, land use and industries all over world and it's different political entities.

    Geology is the science that deals with the physical history of the earth, rocks of which is composed and physical changes which the earth has undergone or is undergoing. Alied branches of geology are geochemistry and geophysics.

    Oceanography is branch of physical geography dealing with oceans. Geologists may easily specialise in this branch. Again the work is research-oriented or exploratory in nature.

    Cartographers produce maps, including details of projection, design, compilations, drafting and reproduction. They collect and organise all the data on which maps are based and this involves land surveying and aerial photography. Cartography can take up by geographers. Town Planning organisations, forest departments, land survey agencies, defence sector, rail, road and airport authorities, housing boards and tourism departments of the government require the services of cartography


    Personality Traits

    West Bengal may abolish JEE

    The West bengal state higher education department might consider doing away with the joint entrance examination (WBJEE) if Tamil Nadu's decision to abolish JEE for engineering and medical courses is upheld by the Supreme Court, Reports the Statesman.

    Mr Sudarshan Roychoudhury,State higher education minister, today (july 21, 2008) said in the Assembly that they are keeping a tab on the issue taken by Tamil Nadu to abolish the JEE for engineering and medical. He said the decision has been okayed by the Tamil Nadu High Court but the matter is now pending at the Supreme Court.

    “It is a good proposal to consider admission on the basis of merit in engineering and medical courses. But there is a problem too. There are a number of councils which hold higher secondary examinations. It is difficult to bring a parity in all these examinations,” said Mr Roychoudhury.

    However, the higher education minister informed the Assembly that he would put forward a proposal to do away with the age bar in medical entrance test in the review meeting of the JEE board this year. The minister said this while replying to a question raised by Mr Manas Bhunia of the Congress in which he asked why the state has imposed an age bar in the medical entrance test when the Medical Council of India has no such preconditions.

    The minister said they do not have any plan to bifurcate the JEE board and set up two separate boards to hold engineering and medical entrance tests separately. He added that the state government has taken a series of steps to stop irregularities that were taking place in JEE. The minister also informed the Assembly that police are still investigating the JEE racket case that was exposed by Kolkata Police last year.
