About: Orissa engineering colleges in the AICTE list and their number of seats (July 12 2007)

The following are some instructions about the previous posting titled "Orissa engineering colleges in the AICTE list and their number of seats (July 12 2007)."

It is from http://www.aicte.ernet.in/approval/engg_LIST/Orissa.doc (as of July 12 2007) reached via http://www.aicte.ernet.in/app_inst_new.htm after clicking the scrolling sentence in AICTE web page that says "Approval status 2007-08 as on 05-07-2007." The Orissa JEE counseling brochure has a few other colleges that are not in this list. For BPUT to put them in the Orissa JEE counseling brochure these colleges must have some sort of approval. Beyond that I can not guess why they are not in the latest AICTE list. Sometimes AICTE has multiple lists in its web pages. If people have doubts about these colleges they should ask BPUT to give them some written guarantee/proof regarding these colleges when counseling or during admission.

The last two columns of that article denote "Existing intake for 2006-07" and "Approved intake for 2007-08." Please note that they are not properly aligned. (I am having problems with the editor when copying and pasting from word documents.)

Management educational opportunities in Rourkela to increase in quality and quantity

Until last year Rourkela had two institutions that offered management (MBA or equivalent) programs. They are:

This year IIPM Kansbahal (20 kms from Rourkela on the Rourkela-Sambalpur highway) will start an MBA program under the auspicies of BPUT. This program is approved by AICTE. This program is promoted by L & T and ICICI. Thus this is expected to be a good program.

Next year NIT Rourkela will start an MBA program. This should also be a very good program.

IIPM School of managemnt, Rourkela: promoted by ICICI and L & T

I came across the following ad for the IIPM School of management, Rourkela. Its web URL is the same as that as of the Indian Institute of Production Management in Kansvahal. The later has been around for 24 years. According to an announcement in their web page this will be the first year of their MBA program. Based on their faculty list and their promoters (ICICI and L & T) this program should become a ranked program in the near future. Its not clear if the advertised IIPM school of management in Rourkela will be a program conducted in Kansvahal campus or they will build a new campus in Rourkela.

One other thing to note is that they are both different from the IIPM – Indian School of Planning and Management about which there is some controversy.

Two articles and a slide show on Vedanta University in the Chronicles of Higher Education

Chronicles of Higher Education has two premium articles ( one needs a subscription to read the full article) and a slide show. Following are links to those articles and excerpts from them.

  • Slide show with 11 nice pictures
  • Article 1: For Planners, the Opportunity of a Lifetime
    By LAWRENCE BIEMILLER
    Baltimore

    In an office a few feet from the chop of the Baltimore harbor, architects are drawing plans for a vast university campus on the east coast of India that would be shaped like twin blossoms, bordered by a lake, and entered through any of 34 gates, each with its own name and symbolism. As beautiful as a mandala and as intricate as a postgraduate mathematics problem, it’s almost certainly the most ambitious campus plan ever conceived.

    On more than 7,500 acres, Vedanta University and its environs would accommodate a liberal-arts program, an engineering school, an agriculture college, a medical campus, Olympics-grade sports facilities, townships for faculty and staff members, parklands, a resort, and even its own airport. At the behest of Anil Agarwal, an industrialist who has pledged $1-billion toward its construction, the campus is being designed to house 100,000 students and to fulfill the donor’s dream of creating an institution that is Indian and world-class at the same time. … MORE

  • Article 2: In Rural India, an Ambitious Academic Vision:

    A mining mogul with big ideas is determined to build an elite, American-style university for 100,000 students in Orissa. Farmers, who own the land he wants to develop, plan to resist.

    By SHAILAJA NEELAKANTAN
    Bhubaneshwar, India

    A few miles outside the town of Puri, in the eastern Indian state of Orissa, lies Beladala, a farming village of thatch-roofed homes. One recent afternoon a group of farmers sat on the porch of the village’s small school eating a lunch of rice, lentils, and vegetables on plates made of broad leaves. … MORE
