The Intel-VTU multicore curriculum revision initiative is a tailor-made programme developed with inputs from the Indian Institute of Scien-ces (IISc), Intel and senior faculty members from VTU in the area of multicore technology. It aims at encouraging faculty from the university’s affiliated colleges to participate in the course and the lab development in an open source model.

The new university, in effect, will take away colleges and PG centres in Belgaum, Bijapur and Bagalkot districts that were hitherto under the purview of Karnatak University. In all, 296 colleges will come under the new university.

Addressing presspersons here on Thursday, B.R. Ananthan sought Rs.65 crores for the development of the university. MBA course was being offered along with the Institute of Management Education and Research, Belgaum.

Now Belgaum has two universities, VTU and now the RCU. The starting of another university should help boom Belgaum to be a educational hub.
The mention of KLE university was done and we regret the same, but KLE university is a Deemed university.

The seminar is scheduled on Sunday 8th August between 2 to 6 p.m. at The Banquet Hall, Hotel Sankam Residency, Airport Road, New Gandhinagar, Belgaum.

Considering the fact that there are very few Management Schools in North Karnataka, a student desiring to pursue an MBA degree has to go to other states or even other parts of the country for quality Management Education. With a host of management degrees to choose from like MBA, PGDM or part time courses like Executive MBA, Distance Education Programs, etc., the students may not be aware of the authenticity of the program or institutes offering them. There is a chance that they may end up disappointed. Students and parents seek guidance for all these matters from experts.

The seminar is free and is open to all graduates/ undergraduates from any stream (Science, Commerce, Arts, Engineering, Pharmacy, etc.) who wish to pursue an MBA after graduation. Fresh graduates who have already appeared for PGCET/KMAT or other management entrance exams will also benefit immensely from this seminar. Parents of students are also encouraged to attend the same.

The seminar will be addressed by a chosen panel of Dr. A. H. Chachadi- Sr. Faculty- Kousali Institute of Management Studies- Dharwad, Prof. V. K. Malali- Retd. Principal- RLS College, Belgaum, Shri. Gopal Jinagouda-MD, Jinabakul Forge, Belgaum, Shri Amit Soundalgekar- Corporate Trainer, Belgaum.

Another girl named Shristi from the same school has got the same marks.

Neha Shanbag 99.33%, she studied in Kendriya Vidyalaya No.2.

Normally all this activity is over by April but this year the Education department had made a new order and issued a timetable in which all schools will do the admission process.

Many of the parents were happy to see their form number on the board and had a sigh of relief as their child had got admission.

There were others as well how could manage to get admission into 4 schools they had filled in forms. One parent told the blog, “I had filled forms in 4 schools but my child number is not there in even one. What do I do now he asked in anxiety.”

Parents who have not been able to secure admissions now they will face a grim task of getting admissions in other schools as the time gap is very less, as schools will start in 15 days.

Many parents allege that new admission procedure has been purposefully done so that huge donations can be collected as there would be very little time for parents.

The Right to education bill has been passed but what about Admissions first.

My personal experience speaks that, my child was not selected in any schools (5) and last had to strive hard to get her in school and all was possible as the process had begun in April itself which gave us time of a month.

This year the parents will face a tough time and all we can say is God Bless them.

Also see the previous year’s post which will help you understand the process much better.

Beggars cannot be choosers:LKG admissions

Admission tensions are boiling over!

Admission time: Is raat ki Subh Kabhi

In the SSLC results Belgaum in 2010 stood at 13^th position with a passing percentage of 70.69% whereas in 2009 it was at 6^th position with 79.37%.

In the PUC results Belgaum is again on 13^th position with a pass percentage of 51.90, whereas in 2009 it was on 6^th position with 47% passing percentage.

Ahad Husain Tarde of GSS college secured the first rank in the district with 96.33%.

As usual the govt. authorities under the education department and ZP CEO Ekroop Caur defined a program and regulations for the said admission process.

Most schools distributed the admission forms from 5^th April and were supposed to put up the first list after 20 April. But the authorities decided otherwise and mentioned specific dates on which the whole process will begin and end.

The authorities declared that admission process of listing the selected candidates will begin from 15 May and end on 28 May. All this was done for the betterment and for making the admission process easy, it was said.

In reality, the scenario is completely different. School reopens on June 1, and if a child does not get selected in any school what will the parents do in 3 days as May 28 will be the last day for admissions.

Sanjay, a parent said that this year admission process is the worst. We had filled forms on the 5^th and were expecting list to be out on 21^st but now the list will be out only on May 15. He also asks the same question what if my child is not selected. What can I do in 3 days.

Many parents allege that this has been purposefully done so that huge donations can be collected as there would be very little time for parents.

The Right to education bill has been passed but what about Admissions first.

My personal experience speaks that, my child was not selected in any schools (5) and last had to strive hard to get her in school and all was possible as the process had begun in April itself which gave us time of a month.

A parent told this blog, why did the education dept come into the picture, all was well till they entered the frame.

This year the parents will face a tough time and all we can say is God Bless them.

The long awaited Belgaum University (Veer Rani Channama) at Bhutramatti is taking shape, though it has come after lot of struggle and not by government self initiative, and moreover I must complement KRV for taking this struggle along with ABVP to Vidhan Saudha Bangalore. It was also a collective effort besides, Mr Sanjay Patil and Mr Angadi elected representatives also put on pressure on this demand.

A meeting was convened recently by university’s special officer B.R. Ananthan ( though his name has popped up in some controversies) for new courses from current academic year itself, which is indeed a very progressive move, I always had a dream for new university would look like and made a small layout posted along, may be this would turn out to be a reality soon, but its my earnest request to state government to fulfill the following important things:

A futuristic Areal view of expected development of VRC University

1) Government should come up with a nice ergonomic Gothic architecture since this university has lot of natural beauty and surroundings of mountainous green zone.

2) Belgaum Division Education Commissionairate office should be relocated back to Belgaum form Dharwad all other division offices are in their own respective places only in case of Belgaum it was moved two years back by Mr Horrati to Dharwad. ADP, and Jt.director officer from Dharwad back to Belgaum.
Why should we accept Belgaum division office in Dharwad strictly believe that it doesn’t make any logical sense.

3) The education consortium should be formed under special officer to lease out land to other foreign universities to establish joint research programs. Since there are new engineering and management colleges coming up in this area, this can lead to creation valley of academic excellence.

4) There should be ample transportation and accessibility to university from CBT to University, Tilakwadi to University, VTU to VCU, Sulebhavi to University and also from other remote places such as Halga, and Eastern part of Belgaum.

5) VCU should include Bagalkot and Bijapur and Karwar under this university jurisdiction.

6) VCU should facilitate benches of other universities especially Marathi and Konkani language since Belgaum houses large communities of bordering people to help students of other medium schools in border area to benefit, education should be means to unite the country regions and boundaries.

7) VCU should be given lead role in establishing academic around educational development for north Karantaka.
