Hi,
Views change. So please take this as my point of view...

I am one frustrated student from Tamilnadu. I had good education all by myself. I had less teachers who actually teached me. Its like they teach me or there dont. There is no categorisation like good, bad and the ugly...

I read by myself. I heard from peple who talked. I learnt from the maximum exposure that I got. But as a student I am bound to get that maximum exposure if the design and execution of the Education system we as effective as the good intension behind parting good education.

Where does it go wrong ? Why does some colleges are able to get the students the best knowledge imparted where many colleges can't ?

Colleges have increased but why not the quality of education ?

But still guys in India are considered effiecient through out the world. Its pure and pure because the carrer preparation that they make for themselves than what they read during their graduation... Or what the Carrer offers them.

You know what I can talk abt this all day. But what triggered me off and what the solution is PROPER ORGANISATION.

Not this VC. But one VC can be one able to do it all.

I think there are more important issues to be changed before changing the Dress Code of the Students. Man the Adminstration should grow up... is Dress far more important now ? Anyways they are going to do it in or out.
People should get their pririties right.

Hi,
I'm currently in CEG and in 3rd year Mech Engg. I am not very sure about the quality of education - it was revised in the year after I joined, which means my batch will be the last one to follow the previous syllabi. Most of it is out dated and has no relevance to what happens in the industry. Some professors are great and some are below par.

In situations like these, I think the university still has a reputation because of the standards of the students who get in. THere has been no development otherwise as much as I could tell.

Dear Mr. Somasegar,

I have been recently to VS 2005 Launch roadshow (Kuwait), where the presentor for VS 2005 called himself Kudzu www.kudzuworld.com (or something like that never bother to check.

While waiting for something he had this joke to share, where half the audience where indians, that :: he called a call center having a problem, and how he went thru the frustration with the call center guy even after telling him what is the problem being a technical expert, the call center guy made him do all the things including unpluging. Than he asked the call center guy his name first one said 'Thomas' and second one said 'Abraham'. Then he said (to callcenter guy) 'Abraham' is not a common Hindu name and blah blah.

What is the point in embrassing the audience and what is implied message where as I believe MS is multicultural company.

With all this Mr. Presentor skip half of the demo mentioned in Agenda, After third attempt only he was able to show ClickOnce demo while shifting from one Virtual PC to another, and blaming it on the Beta version on his labtop.

I thought you might be interested how your product is presented.

regards

Khuzema

Hi pavan,

I agree that the university campuses are better equipped both from a faculty and a facilities perspective. My point was that having a strong University system and a leadership helps the affiliated colleges get better in all dimensions - in terms of broadband connectivity, in terms of faculty training, in terms of a consistent syllabus, etc. There is a long way to go, but I feel that things are definitely headed in the right direction.

Regards,
Somasegar

This was a nice post. I visited my alma mater, IIIT Hyderabad(http:\\www.iiit.net) too recently 3 years after graduating from there.

I also got the opportunity to visit JNTU, Hyderabad and some of the colleges affiliated to it, giving technical talks and interacting with the students there. However, as far as the uniform quality of education across all colleges is concerned.. I found that it was not quite true. The university campuses have much better faculty and laboratory facilities compared to most of the affiliated colleges. The difference in the faculty and the fewer opportunities from industry reduces the exposure the students get.

But the fact that the students themselves are charged up is very true.. they take every opportunity to improve their employability/knowledge. They are much more aware of the advantages of going for higher education either in India/US.
