Share on FacebookThey say..."Ignorance is bliss"!!!
Come third year end, and every college student is all geared up to get that one thing done, for which the whole undergraduate course is mugged up!!! Well, you might have guesses it right, but for those who haven't.........its PLACEMENT time!!!
When it comes to getting a job, everyone wants to know everything about everything. We couldn't possibly give you that 'everything', but we don't want you to have "nothing". Hence, this is a sincere effort on our part to give you that inside story, that "something", or even "something" for that matter, you might end up having "nothing",which is definitely not happening! They say....."Ignorance is Bliss"!
We say....."Naaaaaah"!
 DELOITTE INDIA :
This was the only company which had a case study round and an aptitude based written round, where the questions are not very difficult. This was followed by a technical interview round where good knowledge of thefield is essential. It wasn't difficult if one was well versed with all the basic concepts. Knowledge of 'how a case study is to be handled' will help you a lot!.

The technical aspect of the interview comprises of conceptual questions. For example, for civil, questions from structures and Soil mechanics are asked.These includes drawing and bending moment and shear force diagrams of comlicated beams, finding the slope and deflection of members, designing of compression members in steel etc.

| AIEEE Round-1 counseling for academic session 2010-11 starts from 8th to 23rd June,2010. Online registration, filling up the choices, Indicative seat, availability (MOCK Counseling) and Locking. Locking facility will be enabled only after June 12, 2010. The scope of getting in NITs is more in this year. The number of seats increased because of new ten NITs across India. |
The union cabinet decided to set up 10 new National Institutes of Technology (NITs), six of which will come up in northeastern states to facilitate quality technical and engineering education in the region.
The new NITs established in 2010
- Manipur
- Meghalaya
- Mizoram
- Nagaland
- Arunachal Pradesh
- Sikkim
- Goa
- Delhi
- Pondicherry
- Uttarakhand
|
Currently, India has 20 such top technology and engineering schools, which are considered only second to Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). The process for setting up of these new NITs started in 2009-10 with formation of their respective societies, constitution of their board of governors, appointment of directors etc. The admissions to these new NITs will be made from the academic session 2010-11. The new NITs are being set up so as to meet the needs of states and union territories which do not have NITs as of now. This will meet their long standing demand.
The new NITs will be able to provide high quality education to many of the bright students from these regions, as 50 percent of the seats are to be filled from the eligible students from these states and union territories. The new NITs will increase the output of high quality engineering and science graduates in the short run and postgraduates and Ph.Ds in the long run.
All the Best to all students who are going for AIEEE counseling.

Share on Facebook It’s IIT-JEE after CAT Fiasco
|  | Last Year CAT 2009 was in news for all the wrong reasons and then a debate began how India cannot embrace technology in it’s education policy. Many called CAT 2009 as a disaster and unfair and asked for retake of exam in pen and paper mode. But here again, one of the biggest exam IIT-JEE 2010 witnessed goof up in it’s pen and paper avatar leaving students bewildered. On April 11, 2010 IIT-JEE exam was conducted all over India. In the question paper the order of subjects on the question paper didn’t match the sequence on the answer sheet. As per sources, while the question paper had the first 28 questions from physics, followed by an equal number of questions from chemistry and mathematics, the ORS sheet (objective response sheet) had a different sequence of subjects. | | "In my center, the invigilator first asked us to mark the answer according to the headings on the ORS sheet. But after an hour, the official communications from the IITs was read out, which was contrary to what the supervisor had instructed," said Siddant Deshpande, who took the exam in Navi Mumbai.
In one of the 10 codes of the Hindi version of paper 1, a question was not printed. But according to JEE Madras, steps would be taken to make sure that the candidates's score does not suffer.
Few students are calling this goof up as testing presence of mind and few are calling it a blunder.
For sure JEE management would take care that students don’t suffer for printing mistakes. |

Today I got a call from my friend in USA enjoying his onsite vacation, he frantically told" Did you hear Obama's speech ? Do you think their will be an impact on India ? "
I wondered why someone so dynamic like Prez Obama is bothering over we so called pseudo intellectual Software Engineers of India who are only famous for labor works and no real innovations ! |
I moved to You Tube to look for speech clipping, here's excerpt from the latest anti outsourcing speech:
The problems have grown worse," Obama said. "Meanwhile, India is not waiting to revamp its economy. China is not waiting, These nations - they're not standing still. These nations aren't playing for second place. They are putting more emphasis on math and science. They're rebuilding their infrastructure. They're making serious investments in clean energy because they want those jobs."
Indian IT Industy which was in the process of recovering from the global recession. may get a setback from Obama's anti-outsourcing policy. Because India gets more than 60 per cent, or $70 billion, outsourcing work from the US because of low-cost locations. Obama took these decision beacuse thier unemployment rate reached in double figure. US Senate has allready voted for imposing strict conditions on hiring of people with people with H-1B visas by American companies receiving federal bailout money.
An embattled US President Obama, bruised by economic, political, and foreign policy crises in his first year in office, has pledged to stop US cos from taking jobs overseas and warned Americans about increasing competition from India. Obama addressed the issue of loss of jobs to foreign markets mainly India.
My Take on this:
I am no expert or critic but spending several years in stock market and watching rise and dip of market so closely ( which is my passion) I think I can use this platform to make a point.
Obama has several short-and long term pressure to cope with, but that doesnot mean that there will be any significant impact for the outsourcing Industry. The Proposed "Jobs Bill", which is aimed at creating more local employment in USA.
However there are short-sighted that many USA companies derive significant reveues from outside the country mainly from India. Some of the top outsourcing companies are Citigroup, GE, JP Morgan. These companies will create more jobs in India because of low cost operations. Citigroup generates 52% of its revenues outside the USA. Obama will only reduce tax soap to companies who will ship job to others places. But there are many others factors why USA MNC's prefare India to expand their business. When ever any companies is investing in India they sees the overall economics of the opportunity, market potential, availability skilled and preferably lower-cost workforce and the ability of time zone difference. So, Tax is only one of the several factors.
There are two Factors which will be faced by USA.
First, the changes to the US expense allocation rules may actually prompt some businesses to consider shifting certain US overhead costs overseas in order to prevent those expenses from being deferred on their US tax returns.
Second, just when US businesses need to find additional growth opportunities elsewhere to lower their reliance on a fatigued US customer, these rules will increase the cost of doing business overseas.
Clearly, this will make US firms less nimble against competitors based in countries with more favourable tax regimes.
So, Overall there will be very less effect of Obama's Policy on Anti-Outsourcing.
Let's hope the same!
