CAT Scores for MBA Admission in IITs and IISc

The Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have decided to use CAT 2011 as part of the selection process of their MBA and management programmes from the academic year 2012-13.

The Joint Management Entrance Test (JMET) previously used for admission by the IITs and the IISc stands discontinued, according to an IIM press release.

The decision was taken after a recent review revealed that the relatively young JMET is not too dissimilar to CAT, and that the effort to organise JMET each year seemed enormous in relation to the approximately 40,000 candidates who took the test each year.

"The intersection of candidates who take both CAT and JMET in a single year is quite large. The decision to use CAT for admission into the IITs and IISc will minimise the test preparation and financial burden on candidates," said LS Ganesh, former head of the IIT-Madras management department.

The five original IITs - Kharagpur, Bombay, Madras, Kanpur and Delhi - as also IIT-Roorkee, are among India's earliest institutions to have offered postgraduate and research programmes in management since the 1960s.

"CAT is an ideal fit for IITs as it is a well-evolved, established, standardised and widely accepted entrance exam for admission into PG programmes in management in India," Ganesh said.

"This is a major initiative that brings two premier higher education systems together. We anticipate that this will result in closer tie-ups and collaborative research work that will provide both sets of institutions a competitive edge in the long run," CAT 2011 convenor Janakiraman Moorthy said.

CAT 2011 will be conducted over a 20-day window from October 22-November 18 across 36 cities.

To succeed ; one needs luck and character : Mr N. R. Narayana Murthy

On the last day in office, Mr N. R. Narayana Murthy, who is transitioning from the Chairman of Infosys Ltd to its Chairman Emeritus, advised his colleagues to work hard.

He stressed that, to succeed, one needs luck and character. “But luck requires hard work and when you perform, you get recognition, respect, and power.” While talking about the importance of teamwork.

He  highlighted the need to recognise and reward top performers. “If you don't identify the high performers and reward them, they will lose motivation. However, high performance should not make you arrogant because arrogance leads to hubris.”

But hard work alone would not help you if you cannot defeat your mindset, said Mr Murthy. “The mind is an engine of progress, while your mindset is a database of experience which holds you back. So, you must use your mind to defeat your mindset.”

Next Generation Operating System - Windows 8

Microsoft has released a new blog to the public for showing the stages of developing the next generation of its operating system, Windows 8. Also known as B8, is a way for the company to create a channel of dialogue with users about the project’s design choices and new opportunities that Windows 8 will provide.

 

Getting Placed Off Campus: A Guide

One million students try their luck with Infosys/ Wipro/Accenture/ but only a fraction makes it. How to get the edge.

There are two ways of getting a entry in the above . One is the campus hiring. The second is off campus recruitment which takes place on a need basis.

On-campus hiring:  Starting a Year in Advance
Companies representatives visit these campuses to initiate the annual ritual of hiring. Eligible students (With Your TPO) appear for test  ( Computer Based or Paper Based). The test is divided into two sections: Analytical Reasoning & Arithmetic Thinking and Verbal Ability. The first tests the candidate's learnability and problem-solving skills. The Verbal Ability test ascertains that the students have good communication skills, and have their fundamentals of English right.

Learnability is crucial as it demonstrates the potential employee's ability to keep pace with the fast-changing technologies in the dynamic IT industry. Recognizing patterns, ability to gain conceptual understanding and decision making in uncertainty are some of the aspects assessed.

Shortlisted candidates then proceed for the interview. The interviews are behavioral in nature and try to assess students on aspects such as oral communication, problem-solving, analytical ability, soft skills, and conceptual knowledge.

                     
Off Campus Hiring:   The company conducts off campus selection from time to time depending on business needs. While campus hiring is focused on a particular set of colleges, the off campus hiring process enables students across the country to seek an opportunity with IT companies. This helps them to spread the hiring net farther into small towns to take students from colleges that otherwise do not feature on the campus-visiting list.

Most of the companies have a well-defined career path for employees with clear detailing of responsibilities. Join the organization as software engineers, the system provides the flexibility for them to switch over to multiple career streams once they have attained the requisite experience, competency levels and proficiency.

Follow these to stand apart from the rest:

1.      You must know Company profile e.g. Infosys

                               Revenue: US$ 4.8 billion +

                               Market capitalisation: US$ 33 billion +

                               Employee strength: Over 113,000 +

                               Global presence: Infosys has presence in 30 countries +

2.      You must know your job description.

3.      Self-confidence is the key to crack.

4.      Discipline and punctuality.

5.      Decision making ability and Honesty

6.       Commitment and dedication.

7.      The ability to work in teams.

 8.      In-depth functional knowledge

 9.      Ready to take risk and innovation.

 10.    Make Projects list ……….

            The interviews are rigorous but are not overly tough to crack.

Finding Security Flaws in Facebook , Get $ 500 By Facebook

Facebook is rewarding $500 or more to computer security experts to identify vulnerabilities in social networking. To show appreciation to the security researchers, the company has came forward to offer them monetary rewards and recognition, said the Facebook Official blog. The person who finds a flaw first and responsibly discloses the loophole to the company is sure to get rewarded. The company will only award for the unknown flaws

New Format for CAT 2011- IIMs

The Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) have announces a new format for CAT 2011. With the same number of questions, this year’s CAT will have two sections instead of three and an extra five minutes to take the test.

The two sections would be: Quantitative Ability and Data Interpretation and Verbal Ability and Logical Reasoning.

In the new method, the IIMs have clubbed the sections which were divided into three parts in the older method.

The candidates will also be provided 15 minutes tutorials before the examination starts, making the total time two hours and 35 minutes. The test will be conducted between October 22 and November 18, 2011. Candidates will have 70 minutes to answer 30 questions in each section which will have an on-screen countdown timer. Once the time ends for the first section, they will move to the second and will not be able to go back. Earlier, the three sections had 20 questions each.
Best of Luck

Email Intervention from Google

Google has started an exclusive service known as Email Intervention to help you, me and all to help others to switch to Gmail who are with other outdated, may be, email service provider.
On the Email Intervention home page Google has embedded a video to make us know how the email intervention works, and also Google explains why people now need to switch to Gmail. There are options to send email intervention message to one or to multiple. Google tags this service saying, “It’s time to make the switch.”

A Mobile OS from Mozilla

The organisation whose Firefox browser many of us are currently using, Mozilla, is currently working on a "complete, stand-alone operating system for the Web." The system is being called by the name of Boot to Gecko, or B2G, and it is being designed solely for mobile devices.

The beauty of the project, B2G, being envisaged by Mozilla is that it takes Chrome’s open source ideas to the mobile space. For instance, B2G will have ways for developers to get at phone functions like placing calls and taking pictures. The kernel is based on Android, at a very low level. ..........

Features that makes Google+ more interesting ... Do not miss it ...... but use it

Google has come up with a very novel idea of offering a substitute for Facebook to world around. It has inaugurated the service named Google+ that is said to provide a much private and secure medium for subscribers which Facebook failed to serve.  Google+ is the tech giant's latest attempt to crack the social network market.

1. Circles - The “Circles” concept of the Google is far more comparable to our real life friend circles than the “ad hoc” group concept of the Facebook. Everyday, we interact with hundreds of people but not always in the same way. The Google+ lets you create different circles to which you can add different people you want. For example, you can create one circle for your family, one circle for your work people, one for your old classmates and as many as you want. The biggest touted perk is that you can share the things with the circle that you want and the other circles won’t ever know of it.

2. Using the '+'   One of the key features of Google+ is its streamlined approach to online sharing. Google has described the process as "awkward, even broken" and their new network aims to fix that.

Google+ is integrated into the navigation bar at the top of almost all Google products, which allows users to keep track of their Google+ notifications without doubling back to the main Google+ homepage.

3. Integration :  Integration is one of the biggest feature that Google has in its hands to win over the audience.  It's nothing but all of Google's existing online services like Gmail, Docs, search features are combined on to a single platform in Google+ and you can do everything on the same site.

4. Sparks : Google has done something that Facebook will not be able to do, with Google+ Spark.

When you are networking on Facebook, you often have to leave the site for finding shareable information with your friends. Google+'s Spark is an instant solution to that problem.  Google has optimised its search engine to provide instant search for finding stuff you wanna share. Since Facebook doesn't have a search engine, it is obvious that this feature can't be provided by Facebook.

5. Hangouts - The feature allows users to pull groups together for a simultaneous video chat. You can chat with up to ten people in the group video chat option. Forming ad hoc groups to have a little chat with people you know seems a little too fun.

6. Better mobile apps   Google+ has a lot better apps for Android users, rather than Facebook. You will find that it's a lot more easier to get stuff on your Google+ profile than it ever was on Facebook.

Cloud computing to create one lakh jobs in India

As the next technology wave, cloud computing by enterprises has the potential to create about 100,000 new jobs in India, a study said Tuesday.

Hey ! Hi, Welcome to new Entrant in new College……. Make it big from now onwards, ……..

New to College atmosphere....


It's a whole new chapter in your life. You leave behind the secure environment of your school and your childhood and embark upon an education that will have a direct impact upon your career.... So rock it till the time you are in college.


College is a new place full of challenges, right from making good friends to balancing study time and freedom .... freedom. so start it on right way with right direction...

A. Explore your new college campus. Explore the facilities provided the college .Come a little earlier than usual and walk around your campus before your classes begin and get familiar with the layout and various departments and places eg the library, canteen, gymkhana, auditorium etc.

B. Make new friends as you moving from one corner to another corner. Do not miss the orientation programme. Introduced yourself. Interact with seniors students of the college. Talk to them; seek their advice and learn more about your stream and course. You can use their experience and tackle freshman issues better. Choose your new friends wisely.

C. Find out who the best professors from your college are and take time off and introduce yourself to them after the class. You have to spend the rest of the semester under their guidance. How much you enjoy any course depends to some extent upon your relationship with the professor. Don't be scared to raise your hand and ask your professors questions if you don't understand something. There is no such thing as a stupid question. Your question may be one that others may also have, but just haven't asked for the same reason as you. Remember, professors are there to help you. If they insist on meeting you after class, find time for the same. "Also ensure that you are not overdoing it. Keep your relations as brief and academic as possible .

D. Attend classes regularly. While it may be tempting to bunk college and indulge in a game of football with friends, do not do so at the cost of your attendance. Maintain 90-95 percent to appear for better understanding of the subject and marks in exams. Otherwise you are in the list of “Defaulter “in the College. .

E. Participate the Extra Curricular activities. Do not shy and hesitant to participate in extra-curricular activities as per your taste like in singing , dancing , debates, elocution, painting, organizing etc.

F. identifies the difficult subjects in your semester. Chalk out a timetable and allot yourself time to prepare for each subject. Always keep a copy of syllabus and do not wait till the last day to submit work on a subject . Attend Labs session more and more.

More information from Rediffmail.

Most students think that they can make more friends by bunking lectures. Wrong. In fact, they can make more friends by sitting in a class and sharing knowledge.

10 reasons why Google+ can never vanquish Facebook

Google's decision to try its luck one more time in the social market with its Google+ platform is somewhat surprising. Over the last several years, Google has attempted to vanquish top players in the social market with the help of Orkut and Google Buzz. In both cases, it failed, even though those services are still in operation.

Now, with Google+, many believe the search giant is delivering the best social experience it ever has. The project boasts several features, including group support and video chatting, that, some say, help it trump Facebook. However, Facebook allows for group support and the social network added video calling last week. In some areas, Google+ and Facebook appear to be in a dead heat...

'Society for IT Engineers' (SITE) @ DTU

With a view to make budding professionals of Information Technology (IT) aware about latest developments in the field of IT, the Department of Information Technology of Delhi Technological University (DTU), formerly Delhi College of Engineering, has established a students' body - 'Society for IT Engineers' (SITE).

SITE was formerly inaugurated today by Mr. Savitur Prasad, IAS, Secretary, Department of IT, Govt. of Delhi along with Prof. S.C. Dutta Roy, IIT Delhi, Prof. P.B. Sharma, Vice Chancellor, DTU, Prof. O.P. Verma, Head of IT Department, DTU and Dr. N.S. Raghava, Faculty Advisor, SITE among others. Welcoming the distinguished guests, Prof. Sharma said, "Technical societies in educational institutions play a crucial role in bridging the gap between what the course curriculum offers to the students and what the industry expects. I am hopeful that SITE would act as a connection between the world of academia and world of industry and aid us in transforming graduating engineers to professional engineers."

Stating that IT has made rapid strides in all areas of human activity, Prof Roy urged students to take IT to those sections of society that have not been benefited by IT. "Can you reverse 'Society for IT Engineers' to 'IT Engineers for Society' and do something for not just your own professional development but for the society at large," he asked the students.

Chief Guest at the occasion, Mr Prasad, complimented the University for establishing a Society for IT students. He even invited DTU students to work with them on live projects undertaken by the Department of IT, Govt. of Delhi. He said, "We are keen to provide efficient services and readdress grievances of residents of Delhi in a more effective way, by using IT, and I call upon the students to think about how we can achieve that. I would like DTU students to conceptualize and implement new projects in E-Governance and citizen services."

The inaugural function of SITE was followed by a technical session by Mr Tapan Paul, Regional Sales Head, Motorola India. SITE would be organizing several activities like workshops, seminars, projects etc. for students to nurture their technical skills and unleash their talent in areas like programming, designing, web development, image processing, robotics, hacking, animation and others.

simple tips to give your house a fresh look without any additional expenses

Use these simple tips to give your house a fresh look without any additional expenses-

Group aesthetics It's easy-do, and looks different. Rummage through your ancestral bell metal, copper or silver plates and holders. Arrange pots and jugs on a tray or plate and top up with twigs, berries and leaves, anything that catches your eye - no need for expensive flowers. It is the arrangement of unconventional vases, grouped together, that creates the USP.

Bottled up! Put together an attractive ensemble using bottles in various shapes and sizes, dress each bottle up with bits of lace and place similar blooms inside to lift them out of the ordinary and create a harmonious group. Tip: Don't overcrowd, try small flowers with long stems such as Pride of India or Baby's Breath. Change the water daily for a fresh, clean look.

Communication station Easy organising To keep track of the daily onslaught of slips, bills, and junk mail, set up this station in your study. A wall-mounted magazine rack gives each family member a slot for his or her papers, a look here calendar is for quick reference, along with flyers, invites, and such.

Things to keep and things to toss out-

Keep - an envelope tacked to the bulletin board to stash coupons, gift certificates, or other money-savers you might need to grab on your way out, saving you cash without costing you that other valuable asset - time.

Toss - one thing for every new item you bring in. When you've got this much coming in and out, it's easy to have everything pile up. So once something goes in your magazine or mail bin, something must go out.

Keep - a trash can or recycling bin for all the mail and papers you've dealt with - or already know are junk. When possible, sign up for online opt-outs such as electronic billing.

1. Sort smart: Stop mail clutter - use a tiered bin with three sections: In for important mail (bills, papers???), Out for outgoing mail, Read for materials to peruse later (magazines, books???). Have children place important paperwork for you in the 'In' box, once handled, move it to their slot (on previous page).

2. Make note: A sticky note on the door is the perfect can't-miss-it reminder. Tuck the notepad and pen in a bin (near your station) meant for holding outgoing items, say those library books that are due tomorrow.

3. Pen it in: A colour-coded calendar (with a different hue for each person) will keep the family on schedule. Just jot down events that involve multiple members (may be activities that require a driver...). Purge your bulletin board of no-longer-needed papers when you change the calendar page.

Government revises PhD scholarship

Government has revised the rates  of  Ph.D. Scholarship  in  AICTE funded  and  centrally  funded  technical  institutions  under  the  Ministry of  Human Resource  Development. All the students pursuing Ph.D. Programmes Junior Research Fellow or Senior Research Fellow are entitled to receive the revised amount of fellowships.

Scholars with graduate Degree in Professional Courses (BE/ B. Tech or equivalent) and GATE or equivalent qualification 1st & 2^nd year will receive Rs. 16, 000 per month as stipend. Those with Post Graduate Degree in Basic Sciences (MSc or equivalent) and NET qualified will now get Rs. 18, 000 per month till 5th year. Earlier, it was 14,000 for third and fourth year. While for fifth year it was 15,000. While, students who hold M.E. / M. Tech degree or equivalent will get Rs. 18, 000 instead of Rs. 14, 000 for the first and second year. While the third and fourth year candidates will get Rs. 20, 000  in place of the 15, 000. The revised fellowship is also applicable to government aided Institutions funded by AICTE & UGC.

However, no salary grant  or  any  other  salary  grant  would  be  given  to  any  of  the  institutes implementing this scheme. The fellowship will not be granted to sponsored  and  self-  financed  category  of  students  including  those  in receipt of  any other similar assistantships/  scholarship/  fellowship. The fellowship applies to scholars on the basis of GATE scores above the prescribed cut-off level. B.Tech  graduates  from  the  IITs  getting  a CGPA  score of  8 or  above  (on scale of  10) would also be entitled to the assistantship without having to appear in GATE.

The local institution should review the performance of the fellow after two years through an appropriate review Committee constituted by the Head of the Institution. The fellowship in the slab after 2 years of research experience may be provided after successful assessment by this review Committee.
