Common entrance exam at UG level will help EWS students


Common entrance exam at UG level will help EWS students

Centralisation will improve student diversity as a single exam will make them eligible for admission in multiple central universities

c-Sheetal.Banchariya@timesgroup.com

04.01.2021

The education ministry is mulling over the decision to conduct a common entrance test for admission in undergraduate (UG) courses across all 54 central universities. A seven-member committee headed by RP Tiwari, VC of Central University of Punjab, will submit its report within a month and the move may get implemented for 2021-22.

“There is a lack of uniformity in the UG admission process as some universities conduct entrance test while few rely on merit-based admissions. This will simplify the admission process while customising the exam pattern.”

“Students diversity is poor across universities; the central admission process may allow students from all walks of life to enrol in desired varsities and courses,” Tiwari said.

The committee is expected to meet on January 9, 2021, to finalise the report before submitting it. Given the academic disruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic, there is uncertainty regarding the schedule of various entrance exams and many states have also rescheduled the board exams for May-June 2021.

Rama Shanker Dubey, vice chancellor of the Central University of Gujarat, says, “Some of the most sought-after universities conduct their entrance tests and it becomes difficult for students from economically weaker sections (EWS) to keep a tab, apply and appear for all the exams. Appearing for different exams also means that one has to pay the application fee for multiple tests. Common entrance test may also help in getting the academic cycle back on track in lesser time,” Dubey says.

“We have multiple state boards across the country and relative marking with respect to these boards can be a problem. But, the move also has a positive side where students will get through the UG admissions in just one test. The ministry will have to consider diverse factors before implementing it,” says Rajib Ray, professor, Kirori Mal College, Delhi University and president of Delhi University Teachers’ Association (DUTA).

RK Kohli, senior academician and former VC of Central University of Punjab, says, “In central admission processes, students’ first preference is always to join an old, well-known and reputed university. While most new universities are not so popular, they are performing well as per assessment parameters. The uniform process may not allow all universities, new or old, to compete on the same level. Universities in the rural belt may be at a disadvantage and those in metropolitan regions will definitely receive more applications,” Kohli says.

Many universities and colleges may avoid increasing the tuition fee to ease the burden

With the experience and training gained in 2020, universities have now developed a better understanding to tackle uncertainties in 2021. Besides devising new methods to impart education, institutes are also planning to reopen in a phased manner.

“Given the infrastructural development and training during 2020, our university is all set for 2021 session. While the teachers are now much more confident and efficient in conducting classes online, students in areas with poor connectivity are longing for a normal life at campus. We plan to open up in a phased manner giving the final year students and the ones in areas with poor connectivity to come back to the campus,” says Jaskiran Arora, associate dean, BML Munjal University.

Amity University also comprehends on conducting hybrid classes this year. The university will hold face to face classes with 50% capacity of classrooms ensuring compliance of social distancing norms. In addition to this, remote mode of classes will continue to take place.

“A continuous review of the situation is being carried out. Comprehensive e-content of all courses has been made available to the students before commencement of classes. Students belonging to the Science and Technology domains and other domains that require physical presence will be provided with virtual labs. For research-based and lab-based courses, physical lab facilities will be available to 50% of students at a time,” says Balvinder Shukla, vice chancellor, Amity University.

IIIT Naya Raipur will conduct the upcoming academic year 2021 virtually. The institute has shifted the courses that require the mandatory physical presence of students to the next semester hoping that the students will then be present at the campus, says Pradeep K.Sinha, vice chancellor and director, IIIT-Naya Raipur.

Sona group of education institutions, Tamil Nadu will involve more project-based work and hands-on learning for the students this year. The exams will be conducted with the help of AI-enabled auto proctored from remote locations, says Chocko Valliappa, vice chairman, Sona group of educational institutions. Owing to the ongoing pandemic and the consequent economic difficulty, most institutes are not planning to increase the fee structure this year to lighten the pressure on students and parents. Universities are adopting alternative measures to increase revenue sources rather than increasing fees.

At 657, Chennai has most CCTV cams/sqkm in world


At 657, Chennai has most CCTV cams/sqkm in world

04.01.2021

With 657 closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras for every sq.km, Chennai stands first among 130 populous cities in the world in CCTV camera density. Hyderabad stands second in the country with 480 CCTVs per sq.km, says a recent study by Virtual Private Network (VPN) service provider Surfshack, report Sindhu Kannan & Srikkanth D.

But the actual numbers for the city, 2.8 lakh, is fewer than Hyderabad’s three lakh, London’s 6.6 lakh and Beijing’s 10.1 lakh cameras. The number of CCTV’s per 1,000 people is also fewer in Chennai (25 per 1,000) compared to other cities in the top 10 ranking, except Delhi (14 per 1,000 people).

According to sources, the government’s ‘third eye’ campaign which aimed to bring the entire city under CCTV coverage has paid rich dividends. Traders, residents welfare associations and companies have contributed to its success. In the August-September period of 2020, more than 60 snatchers have been nabbed with the help of CCTV cameras in the city. P 2

In ‘self-defence’, TN teen stabs rapist to death with his own knife

In ‘self-defence’, TN teen stabs rapist to death with his own knife

Cops Seek Legal Opinion; She May Not Be Arrested

TIMES NEWS NETWORK

Chennai: 04.01.2021

In what police believe to be an act of self-defence to escape from a rapist, a 19-yearold woman stabbed a 24-yearold man to death with a knife used by him to threaten her in his rape bid at Sholavaram in Tiruvallur district late on Saturday.

According to Ponneri DSP Kalpana Dutt, a legal opinion has been sought and the victim may not be arrested in the case.

The incident happened around 8pm when she went to relieve herself in a poorly-lit area surrounded by bushes. She failed to notice S Ajithkumar, 24, her relative from the same village, following her to the spot. The teenager panicked on seeing him standing with a beer bottle. Before she could move, the man placed a knife on her neck and threatened to rape her, police sources said quoting the victim.

As he began to undress, she pleaded with him to spare her. Realizing he was drunk, she pushed her away and he banged his head against a tree and dropped his knife. The victim picked up the weapon and stabbed him on his neck multiple times until he swooned. Leaving him dead at the spot, she reached Sholavaram police station on her own around 9pm and narrated the incident to the cops there.

‘Deceased man was an alcoholic’

Police personnel rushed to the spot, retrieved Ajithkumar’s body, and sent it to Stanley Hospital for postmortem. Police registered a murder case but no arrests have been made.

The DSP said the teenager was a Class X dropout. Ajithkumar, who had two children, was her aunt’s son. He got separated from his wife a few months back after a domestic dispute. According to police, the man was a jobless alcoholic and had theft cases pending against him. He always moved with a knife looking for easy targets.

“So far it appears to be an act of self-defence and there seems to be no other motive,” the police officer said.

“We will submit a final report in the court where it will be decided whether an action is warranted in the case,” the DSP added.

Stalin will never become CM, I will ensure that: Alagiri

Stalin will never become CM, I will ensure that: Alagiri

Padmini.Sivarajah@timesgroup.com

Madurai:  04.01.2021

Amidst slogans hailing him ‘anjaa nenjam (brave heart)’, M K Alagiri on Sunday declared war against his estranged brother and DMK chief M K Stalin, saying: “Stalin can never become the chief minister. My supporters and I will ensure it.”

The former Union minister and elder son of M Karunanidhi, who convened a meeting to discuss his future course of action ahead of the assembly election, said he would announce his next move soon and that his supporters should accept his decision. “To this day, I do not know what I did wrong to be dismissed from the DMK. Stalin betrayed me,” said Alagiri.

In what clearly appeared to be a show of strength, Alagiri arrived in a campaign vehicle to a marriage hall in Madurai as supporters from the city and southern districts gathered in large numbers. The gathering of Alagiri supporters that included DMK workers brought traffic to a standstill on the inner ring road in Madurai. People came in hundreds of vehicles, and the marriage hall near Pandikoil, one of the biggest in Madurai, burst at the seams with cadres standing outside to watch the proceedings on a giant screen.

Accusing Stalin of being jealous of his growth, Alagiri said, “I don’t know why I was betrayed.”

M K Alagiri addresses supporters in Madurai on Sunday

We will waive all edu loans: Stalin

The DMK would waive education loans taken by students for higher studies if the party comes to power after the asembly elections, chief M K Stalin said on Sunday.

I have been DMK’s saviour, despite not having a post: Alagiri

Alagiri said, “I only wanted to be a cadre working for the party and had never hankered after party posts. We turned Madurai, which was MGR’s fortress, into a DMK’s fortress.”

“There are always posters calling you (Stalin) future CM but that’s not going to happen. My followers will never let you become future CM,” Alagiri said.

Stalin was being compared with Karunanidhi, said Alagiri. “A DMK district secretary said Stalin had done even better than Kalaignar (Karunanidhi). I feel ashamed to hear this. How can they compare Stalin with Kalaignar?” he asked.

Alagiri said he had never wanted to work for the Thirumangalam byelection as he had been upset with his family. “But Stalin, Dayanidhi Maran and other DMK leaders met me and urged him to take up the responsibility. Kalaiganar kept calling me every hour and I took up the responsibility and helped the party win the byelection by a margin of 40,000 votes as I had predicted,” he said.

Alagiri said he had been DMK’s “saviour” on several occasions even while Stalin used him to get party posts. He said senior DMK leaders had come to his house to recommend Stalin for the party treasurer’s post.

“Another day, when Stalin and his wife visited my house during the Thirumangalam election, my wife and I assured him he would be the leader of the DMK after Kalaignar,” said Alagiri. Whenever he was given a posting, Stalin sought higher postings, he said.

“I was silent for seven years. My supporters want me to float a party. I will take a decision. But whatever decision I take, I want you to accept it,” he said. His supporters, including P M Mannan, M L Raj and P Chinnan, while addressing the gathering, said Alagiri should be re-inducted into the party.

M K Alagiri said he was silent for seven years, but now his supporters want him to float a party. He will take a decision soon
