Policy Regarding Foreign Universities operations in India

2007-12-10T08:50:00.001-08:00

To safeguard the interest of stake holders, All India Council for Technical Education has revised its existing Regulations for entry and operation of Foreign Universities in India imparting Technical Education.

Under the revised regulations, Foreign Universities / Institutions already offering Technical Programmes in India at Diploma, Undergraduate, Postgraduate and Doctoral level directly or through collaborative arrangements with Indian Institutions shall have to seek approval from AICTE within 6 months from the date of issuance of notification or before commencement of ensuing academic session whichever is earlier.

Application forms with detailed guidelines can be downloaded from AICTE website www.aicte.ernet.in.

Under the regulations, failure to seek approval of AICTE shall attract stringent penal action including action under the provisions of Indian Penal Code and other relevant Indian Laws.

Attractive advertisements luring students in the name of foreign degrees are being issued by many institutions. Students desirous of joining any technical programme of any Foreign University / Institution operating in India either directly or in collaboration with an Indian Institution must confirm the status of its approval by AICTE as joining unapproved programmes can have serious consequences in terms of eligibility for employment, higher studies etc.

AICTE has opened Student Facilitation Counters at the Headquarters and Regional Offices located at Bangalore, Bhopal, Chennai, Chandigarh, Kanpur, Kolkata and Mumbai, where all required information in respect of approved technical programmes/courses is available.

STUDENT VOICE has been added on AICTE website where students can send both their QUERIES AND SUGGESTIONS and also e-mail at ifc@aicte.ernet.in.

The following institutions have been accorded registration by AICTE

Hisashi T Fujinaka's

And you thought you have rejection letters. See what Hisashi received in less than five years and over sixty attempts. His bio should inspire you not to loose heart. Try, Try and Try again son.

Before you ask questions, do some homework. Click on some of my other links. Just because my first name is "Hisashi" doesn't mean I wasn't born in Portland, Oregon (I was), that I'm not a U.S. Citizen (I am), and that I'm not an Eagle Scout (I am, even though I no longer support the Boy Scouts of America.)

Just because they've always told you that hard work will get you your heart's desires doesn't mean it's true. There's a lot of luck involved in life and I'm kind of tapped out right now.

I can't tell you to avoid applying to medical school. I will tell you that it, in part, had left me without a job, bitter, and without much confidence. Maybe when you're approaching 40, you won't be living with your parents or applying for jobs tutoring beginning computer students with a degree from MIT. But my problems are my own and anti-depressants didn't do much to help me with it.

Good luck!

Does PhD pedigree matter?

2007-11-22T15:10:00.001-08:00

This post is inspired in large part by discussion over at Cosmic Variance about the importance of choice of particular graduate school and pedigree effect. Two extreme points of view are: a) pedigree matters a great deal, having a top school name on your resume will enhance your chances of getting a job and b) pedigree effect is non-existent, and if you are smart and do good science, it doesn't matter where your degree is from. Additional discussion centered on issue of difficulty of "upward" mobility - which means that most people tend to get positions down the ranking ladder from their PhD institutions, not up.
It's of course difficult to do proper "controlled" measure of pedigree effect - maybe students selected by top program would do just as well in lower ranked programs, who knows.
So let's ask a different question - how many of the academic jobs in top research universities go to PhDs from the top programs? Ideally one would want to focus on recent hires only, looking at entire faculty makeup means integrating over the past50 or 60 years, with a big hiring spike in sputnik/cold war years. One way to address this issue is to look only at associate and assistant professors, which typically represent recent hires. Another, possibly better, way is to limit by the years of PhD (say count only PhDs obtained past 1995), but it involves more work. I spent about 4 hours compiling the data, and not sure I want to spend much more on this, even though it is a lot of fun and I am a sucker for playing with numbers.
So here's the statistics, and I will criticize methods later - AIP graduate program listings, which I believe are compiled in 2005-2006 list 636 professors in the top 50 institutions (I used NRC'95 rankings) in associate or assistant rank. Typically their PhD years span about 12-15 year period from about 1990 till ~2003-2004. 162 of them have foreign PhDs (more on that later) and 472 held PhDs from US. More than half of those hires have PhDs from just 8 institutions: Harvard, Princeton, MIT, Berkeley, Chicago, Stanford, Caltech and Cornell. The effect is larger than I expected, but perhaps not completely unexpected.
Below are the institutions that have 3 or more PhD graduates among 636 assistant/associate rank professors in the top 50 physics programs:

Harvard University

Princeton University

MIT

Univ. of California-Berkeley

University of Chicago

Stanford University

CALTECH

Cornell University

University of Michigan

Columbia University

University of Minnesota

Univ of California-San Diego

Univ of CA-Santa Barbara

University of Pennsylvania

University of Rochester

Univ of California-Los Angeles

Univ of Maryland College Park

Northwestern University

Rice University

University of Colorado

Boston University

Indiana University

Rutgers -New Brunswick

Brandeis University

Duke University

Purdue University

Foreign degrees are more scattered all over the world, but here's some strong contributors:

Moscow

Cambridge

Oxford

Munich

Toronto

Vienna

Warsaw

Top 10 universities contribute 59% of US PhD hires, those ranked 11-20 provide another 18%, the next ten ranked 21-30 provide 10%, and ALL of the remaining US universities contribute remaining 12% or so.

50 Most influential Management Thinkers

2007-11-14T05:07:00.001-08:00

Who is the world's most influential living management thinker?
That was the simple question that inspired the original Thinkers 50 in
2001. The result was the first ever global ranking of business gurus.
The all-new Thinkers 50 2007 (www.thinkers50.com) is the most
comprehensive and fascinating ranking yet.
Produced by Suntop Media, in association with Skillsoft, it is the
definitive bi-annual guide to which thinkers and ideas are in – and
which are past their corporate sell by date.
So what do the 2007 rankings show? Who are the most influential
management thinkers in an increasingly global business world? And
who, among them, is the number one?
In 2005, Harvard heavyweight Michael Porter inherited the crown
from the late great Peter Drucker. But would he keep his place at the
top in this year's Thinkers 50? Now we know.
THE GURU AT THE TOP OF THE PYRAMID
The most influential living management guru in the world is CK
Prahalad. Prahalad is the first Indian-born thinker to claim the title.
Best known for his work with Gary Hamel (ranked 5th) on resourcebased
strategy, which gave rise to the term core competences, more
recently, Prahalad has turned his attention to the plight of the world's
poor. In The Bottom of the Pyramid, his 2004 book, he argues that
capitalism can be the engine to eradicate poverty.
