15% ALL INDIA QUOTA’s SEATS 2006 REVERTED TO THE STATES
The Committee constituted by this Ministry under the Chairmanship of Dr. G. Sanjeeva Reddy has since submitted its report in December, 2006. The report recommended establishment of a Workers Technical University for inter-alia training the students from workers family and those belonging to economically poor sections of the society particularly form rural areas to make them more relevant to the needs of today’s technology intensive and knowledge driven industrial society.
The Committee recommended the industry to contribute a small percentage of their gross profit ( ranging from 0.5% to 2%) as the education cess for the proposed university.
The Committee recommended that the jurisdiction of the proposed National Workers Technical University shall be the whole of the country, having the main campus at Hyderabad with regional centres at different major cities in the country. The Ministry has constituted a Core Committee to work out the details of establishment of the National Workers Technical University. The XIth plan has not been finalized.
This was stated by the Minister of State for Human Resource Development Smt. D. Purandeswari in a reply to a question by Shri Ravi Prakash Verma in Lok Sabha today.
My comments: Orissa should persue campus of such a university in Berhampur or Keonjhar.
The eight new Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and seven new Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs), which Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has announced, are likely to come up in the states of Orissa, Jharkhand, Jammu and Kashmir, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram and Nagaland.
An official source said the government was working on ways to give these institutes an even, regional spread.
The states will be selected on the basis of their economic and social status. A count is being done on the number of engineering and management colleges that these states have currently and their student population.
For instance, Jammu and Kashmir has a high chance of getting either an IIT or an IIM as it has only five engineering colleges and four management colleges affiliated to the University of Jammu and University Kashmir.
Among the states in the West, Rajasthan could also be considered as Gujarat and Maharashtra already have an IIM and an IIT, respectively. In the East, with Shillong having an IIM now and Guwahati having an IIT, Mizoram and Nagaland could stand a chance, said a source close to the development.
Among the southern states, Andhra Pradesh could get an IIM or an IIT as Bangalore and Kozhikode have an IIM each and Chennai boasts of an IIT.
The idea of choosing these states to establish these centres of excellence is to maintain a regional balance in the country. This will be done keeping in mind the government?s inclusive growth agenda, the source added.
This is a very speculative news and the writer is unaware that IITs for Andhra Pradesh, Bihar and Rajasthan have already been announced, and IIMs for Bihar and Andhra Pradesh have also been announced earlier.
In regards to Orissa, if it comes down to be a choice between an IIT and an IIM, it is definitely preferable to get an IIT, as Orissa already has a top notch business school in XIM, an IIT can have its own business school, and the investment in an IIT is more than 10 times than that of an IIM.
Even as Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has announced the setting up of eight new Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), seven Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) and 30 central universities in his Independence day speech, the government is shortlisting states where the institutes will be located.
Education worldwide on-line has a ranking of schools. None of the schools in their list are from Orissa. In recent years some name brand schools have come to Orissa. This includes Loyola school and DPS Kalinga; both in Bhubaneswar. Performance wise DAV Chandrasekharpur in Bhubaneswar has been doing very well in the CBSE class X and XII exams, but not great in IIT entrance exams.
(Thanks to Piyush Patnaik for the pointer to the ranking.)
The share of Sainik Schools in the total intake to the National Defence Academy (NDA) has steadily increased from 16.9 % in 2003 to 25.1 % in 2007. The details are given below:-

This information was given by the Defence Minister Shri AK Antony in a written reply to Shri M Raja Mohan Reddy in Lok Sabha today.
In 2007-08 fifty one (serial 95-145 in the list 2000-01 to 2007-08) new central schools have been created, out of these five are in Orissa. They are in:
100 Bouda
108 Gajapati
125 Malkangiri
127 Nabrangpur
132 Rayagada
This takes the total number of central schools in Orissa to 34. In addition there is some news that new central schools are also being made in Jajpur and Bhadrakh. They have not made it to the list yet. Assuming this is true, and looking at the district wise list of central schools, the districts in Orissa that do not yet have central schools are:
Deogarh
Kandhamala
Kendrapada
Nayagarh
Nuapada
Sonepur
Looking at the list of central schools in Orissa, it seems that the schools are more geographically distributed than most other states.
As many as 11 companies, half of them from IT sector, visited the varsity over the past six months and picked up a number of students.
A considerable number of postgraduates were also chosen by multinationals from diverse sectors through off campus placement exercises. The department of Finance and Control achieved a record of sorts by scoring 100 percent result on this front. The department has 30 seats.
This is in sharp contrast to a period not so long back when departments scored a nought. Even students of humanities have secured employment. They include students from Sociology, Rural Development and Anthropology departments. CAPART, for instance, an autonomous body engaged in sustainable development of rural areas, recruited six students from these departments. A matching number was also recruited by Pradan, another leading New Delhi-based NGO.
And it has promised to visit the varsity in September to hold its second phase of recruitment drive. Legal recruitment firm Juriscape India has also evinced keen interest to visit the campus shortly. It would be targeting students of Law, English and Journalism departments. The recruited ones would be absorbed as content writers, legal aid assistants and researchers.
Offers have also come in for students of the department of Fisheries Science. Companies like IFB-Agro Industries and Bay Seafood, both Kolkata-based firms, would be holding recruitment drives in the coming months.
Tech firms like Infosys, TCS, Wipro BPO, HSBC, Genpact Mindtree, Subex Azure, Mindfire Solutions and Exillant have already conducted several rounds of placement drives. …
An Indian Express article mentions the surprising result of several IIM Lucknow students mentoring +2 students of a local college. I hope more such mentoring happens. Is anyone from XIM reading this?
(Update on June 17 2008: For guidance on what you can get with your Orissa JEE rank in 2008, please see https://www.orissalinks.com/archives/1185 I do not have more information than that.)
The Empowered committee also cleared a proposal to create a post of Chair professor in the Department of Metallurgy in IIT, Kharagpur, Benaras Hindu University and NITS at Rourkela, Durgapur and Jamshedpur and other institutes, where study of Metallurgical Engineering is pursued at a salary at par with the individual institute’s norm. These institutions will also provide scholarships to five undergraduate students in each of them to pursue studies in areas related to iron and steel. The undergraduate scholarships will carry a monthly stipend of Rs.4000 per month during the entire period of the course.
