Meghalaya loses 3 addl medical seats

State loses 3 addl medical seats
By Our Spl Correspondent
SHILLONG: Following the assurance made by Union Health Ministry that five additional medical seats would be given to Meghalaya, KSU had suspended its agitation against the medical entrance examination for North East Indira Gandhi Regional Institute for Health and Medical Sciences (NEIGRIHMS).

However, out of the five seats promised, Meghalaya could get only two seats allotted in Tripura. The three other seats at Regional Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) Imphal could not be sanctioned.

Senior officials from State Health Department informed that RIMS was supposed to increase its strength by 150 seats to be allocated to different states but it was unable to do so in the current year. This has jeopardized the future of three students of Meghalaya who were on the waiting list.

Speaking to The Shillong Times, parents of the students, who meant to fill the RIMS quota, said they were disappointed at the State Government's failure to fulfill the promises made earlier about getting five additional medical seats. Some of these students had surrendered their BDS seats because they were assured of getting into RIMS Imphal for MBBS.

The parents wondered if the Government would keep the seats of their wards on hold until such time the vacancies arose in RIMS. They felt that the Government which had virtually reneged on its promise should have negotiated with the Union Health Ministry for three additional seats to make up for the three that have now been forfeited, in view of the huge shortage of doctors in the State.

First years MBBS course at NEIGRIHMS under way
Classes for the first year MBBS course at NEIGRIHMS have started a week ago.
The results of the medical entrance examination conducted by NEIGRIHMS on September 7 were declared the very next day on the internet.

Out of 50 seats, eight have been allocated for the all-India open category, 18 seats for North East open category and 24 have been reserved for Meghalaya, Nagaland, Mizoram and Arunachal Pradesh.

Of the reserved seats, Meghalaya got nine seats, Nagaland eight, Mizoram three and Arunachal Pradesh four seats. Of the 18 seats for the North East open category, students from Manipur made a clean sweep with 13 seats. Assam got three seats, Tripura one and a student from Meghalaya also got into the North East open category.

Sources stated that all the students who have made it to the respective merit lists have joined their classes. source: theshillongtimes

Britain's first Hindu school to begin term

Britain’s first state-funded Hindu school, Krishna-Avanti, opened in London on Monday and has reportedly been oversubscribed. It will be offering its pupils yoga, meditation and prayer as well as lessons, temporarily in an outdoor amphitheatre.

There are an estimated 15,000 Hindu children living in the borough, but the school will initially admit just one class of 30 four and five-year-olds.

It hopes to build up to a total of 236 places by 2014, including a nursery. Naina Parmar, the head, described the school as “a huge step forward for Britain’s one million Hindus”.

Some 587 secondary and 6,253 primary schools in England, representing around a third of the total, are faith schools. The vast majority are Christian. A handful are Muslim and Jewish.

A state-of-the-art building encompassing a meditation garden, an amphitheatre and numerous green innovations — such as a grass roof — will be open in September next year.

Best B-Schools 2008

It’s unbelievable, scary, humbling—and even ironical. At a time when the highest priests of finance have taken such a mighty tumble, and dinnertime conversations centre on the prospects of global recession, perhaps even depression, everything about the art of doing business is being brought into question. Weren’t the guys running the show at Lehman or Merrill MBAs? How could Wall Street mess up so badly? And which financial giant’s time will come over the next few weekends? In a telling indicator of how the US is preparing for bad times, enrolments at American business schools have shot up of late, as executives prefer to ride out the storm in the comparative comfort of the classroom.

In bad times or good, an MBA is seen as a three-letter passport to a better future. That’s why we are here to rank them for you. For those searching for positive news, an MBA remains relevant, nay necessary, in today’s India. Yes, there is no escaping the pain some sectors, like finance, will face. However, for all the talk of belt-tightening, this remains one of the fastest-growing economies in the world, one that needs trained managers to open up new markets and be leaders of an increasingly youthful workforce.

On the other hand, B-schools are just not adequately meeting the staggering demand for MBAs—2.5 lakh people took the CAT last year—in the manner they should be able to. There remains a huge gap between what industry demands from its newest managers and the quality they actually get. The focus, unfortunately, remains on the chosen few institutes. For the rest, business education remains at best an expensive gamble.

But before all that, and this is important, a bit about how we went about the rankings. Outlook’s survey—conducted with research agency GfK-Mode—ranks the top B-schools purely on the basis of objective parameters, based on data provided by institutes. This makes it unique in the sea of B-school rankings, most of which are purely based on the perceptions of different stakeholders (MBA aspirants, students, former students, faculty members and, of course, recruiters). There is a problem here: we feel many of these stakeholders (students, for instance) don’t have adequate knowledge to evaluate B-schools. The ones that do have the knowledge (like companies or faculty) may be biased towards the larger B-schools and those in their own geographical markets.

Our solution to avoid bias was to follow the other accepted method of evaluation, an objective "facility audit". Here, we first seek out premium stakeholders (top recruiters on campuses) and evolve a consensus on what exactly they see as the right attributes in a B-school. Based on facts gleaned from the B-schools, we rank them. This is not only transparent and open to scrutiny, it also eliminates bias.

Then, of course, comes the obvious question: just how "objective" is the data provided by the B-schools? The only answer to that is through verification. GfK-Mode has physically visited 85 B-schools (some premium institutes were spared). The data they submitted was cross-checked and disregarded if found incorrect; some institutes were not allowed to participate if they weren’t open to verification. Sure, certain top B-schools like IIM-Calcutta and IIM-Bangalore have not participated in the survey.

Next year, we will get them on board.

The key finding from the survey is that there is a huge gap between what India Inc expects and what B-schools deliver. Industry wants students and faculty to have more exposure to their ways of doing business; B-schools have been found lacking here, as is quite evident from the low scores most of them have on academic excellence. Industry doesn’t care where the faculty comes from—permanent, visiting, international—as long as it delivers results, reflected in the quality of students.

In fact, the survey reveals that private institutes are investing more money into faculty hiring and training than their more prestigious government-funded counterparts.

o see if all of this is actually delivering results on the ground, read our story (The Great Guru Hunt) on what B-schools are doing to mitigate and work

around the faculty crunch. Despite a few successful changes in strategy, the dismal faculty scenario will continue to worry B-schools for some time to come. Similarly, industry is unhappy with the selection process followed by most B-schools ("garbage in, garbage out" is how one recruiter put it). This is perhaps one indicator of the high attrition rates in many sectors today, as managers (and employers) don’t end up meeting satisfaction levels. That is the reason we have chosen to open the debate on just what needs to be done to competitive entrance exams like CAT to make them a better judge of a person’s ability to be a good and effective manager (Matchstick Managers).

When CAT is working towards going online, it’s perhaps time to rethink what the exam stands for.

There is no denying that there is an immense dearth of talent in industry today. That partly explains why, despite corporate India’s problems

with the quality of managers being churned out by B-schools, they continue to hire them with fatter paycheques. But the tide is changing: with margins under pressure, firms are taking a long, hard look at workforce expenses. This trend became visible on campuses this year, particularly for the IT and financial sectors. Now, the US financial sector meltdown will definitely have an impact on Indian B-school placements.

Either way, B-school graduates will find themselves under more scrutiny. That is why it is important that MBA aspirants check very carefully what they are getting into. We are constantly bombarded by claims and promises from private B-schools and it’s easy to get swept away by the hype, advertising and even the awards some institutes claim to have won (Selling a Pig in a Poke). As we have argued earlier, there has to be stronger regulation to ensure that, blinded by all the noise, aspirants don’t spend huge amounts of money and get very little in return.

A ray of hope has come from a recent consumer court judgement that penalised an institute for charging fees without providing any service to students enrolled with it. The court also criticised the practice of institutes charging a lump sum fee in advance, binding "the students not to leave the institute even if quality of education or training there may be substandard."

There is a much larger issue here. There’s such a craze for MBAs that people think just the tag will do. Our columnist Nripjit Singh ‘Noni’ Chawla (Can Life Be Taught?) puts it well: "There is much that one learns in a good B-school.However, the best sword is useless in the hands of a novice. The skill of wielding it effectively can only be learnt on the field." Management may well be a science, but it draws on a whole lot of intangibles, from leadership to psychology. There is a social context too, as business can hardly afford to be divorced from its surroundings. Not at a time when we are witnessing battle after battle over corporate land acquisitions. The choice, then, is ours: Do we want to churn out an army of holistic managers? Or do we just want to sell and be sold MBA degrees?
