Competitive exams hit ICSE hard
The craze for competitive exams in the state has led to fewer students enrolling into ICSE schools. Students and parents feel that the ICSE syllabus is not helpful for those preparing for competitive exams like IIT-JEE, AIEEE, JIPMER and Eamcet.
Cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata and Bengaluru have hundreds of ICSE schools, while Hyderabad has just 12. In the entire state, the number of ICSE schools does not exceed 40. The number of students appearing for ICSE Board exams in the state is less than 1,000 every year.
There is a general feeling among the parents that ICSE schools are only for students of affluent families who want to go abroad for studies after Class X or XII. Moreover, ICSE syllabus is mostly being offered by prominent international schools that cater to the needs of students from rich families. They also feel that ICSE exams are low-scoring in comparison to state syllabus. “Many students secure over 95 per cent marks in Inter exams every year. But that is not the case with ICSE exams. Also, 25 per cent weightage is being given to 10+2 marks in Eamcet. So, Inter students are at advantage over ICSE and CBSE students,” said Mr K Madhusudhan Rao, a senior lecturer.
However, the managements of ICSE schools say that the Board offers a vast syllabus and discourages rote learning. “Students in ICSE schools have deeper understanding of biological sciences and mathematics. The Board has been updating the syllabus every year to cater to the needs of students appearing for competitive exams. ICSE students have been performing well in IITJEE, AIEEE etc. for the last few years. It is a myth that ICSE students are disadvantaged when it comes to cracking competitive exams,” said a correspondent of an ICSE school.

Osmania varsity tightens PhD admission process
Osmania University has introduced a complete revamp of its PhD admission process this year. From changing the pattern of its entrance examination to upping the minimum qualification marks to 40% for general category students, the university has decided to make the test tough this year onwards to improve the quality of research.
The university has also upped the minimum marks for qualification for SC/ST students to 25%. According to the university administration, the reforms were brought about after the academic senate and council made unanimous observations that the PhD theses brought out each year by students of the university are poor in quality, when compared to those from other universities. However, faculty members of the university said that PhD admissions were being made tough to prevent more T supporters from becoming research scholars in the university.
The new PhD notification came out last week and the admission procedure is expected to be complete by the end of this month. According to the new rules, merely qualifying in the PhD entrance will not secure a seat for students. Interestingly, from this year onwards the allocation of guides for research scholars will be completely left to deans of their departments. “The deans of each of the colleges will reevaluate the performance of the students and then decide on the guides,” said officials of the admission department.
The new admission procedures are also meant to reduce the number of PhD admissions, officials said. “We admit about 200 PhD scholars in all departments every year. This is too high, when compared to other universities,” admission coordinators said. The move is also meant to discourage candidates who apply for PhD just to extend their stay on campus. “About 40% of the research scholars on campus are those who have already done their post graduation in more than one subjects. They take PhD admission to get hostel accommodation,” a senior professor of the university rued.
Moreover, with the university turning into a hotspot for Telangana politics over the past two years, the administration also wants to monitor people who join the campus just to be part of politics. “The number of applications for PhD has in fact increased during the past one year, as more students take admissions in the university to join politics. While the number of applicants for PhD till 2008 was about 150 per college, last year the number had increased to about 450,” said an official.
OU faculty members rued that the new regulations have not gone down well with the student community. “The candidates who have cleared the University Grants Commission’s National Eligibility Test or those who have MPhil need not appear for entrance examination. There is no need to be apprehensive about the new admission process,” said S Satyanarayana, vice-chancellor, Osmania University.

1st batch of IIT-H ready for placement
The Indian Institute of Technology, Hyderabad, is gearing up for its first ever placement drive to be held in December this year. 30 top firms have registered to conduct campus placement drives so far.The first batch of 111 B.Tech students admitted in 2008-09 for courses in computer science, engineering, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering, are now in the final year and will graduate in May 2012.
IIT-H officials say the response to its first placement drive has been encouraging with about 30 top corporate firms registering to conduct campus placement drives so far, with more expected by December. In contrast, a new IIT like IIT-Ropar, which was established along with IIT-H, has managed to attract just 20 companies.
Top firms such as Microsoft Corporation, Finisar, eBay, Bharat Petroleum, L&T, Infosys, Wipro, TCS, and Bharat Petroleum are among those that will be visiting IIT-H. “The placement cell at IITH was established in 2010 with the prime objective of providing career opportunities to the students,” said Prof U.B. Desai, director, IIT-H. “Another batch of M.Techs in six engineering departments and M.Sc. graduates in chemistry will also graduate along with B.Tech students in the summer of 2012. The placement drive will be conducted for all these students simultaneously.” IIT-H has active collaborations with industry and firms like Hyundai Motors, Mercedes-Benz R&D India, HP, CMC, HCL technologies, Intel and Dr Reddy’s Labs, may also consider recruiting from the IIT.
