You graduated from IIT but got offered Rs 6 lakh CTC? Didn’t everyone expect you to get crore plus? Who will pay for your loan?

A story I have wanted to write for years-About IITians tweaking resume, taking coding classes, changing fields but barely getting placed.

@livemint
There are 23 IITs today. About 2 lakh sit for #JEE exams,16k IITians graduate.

But India Inc wants coders,quant, software lot.What about chemical/mechanical? They take extra classes;learn software & move away from their field to bag a job after #IIT

A story of two sets of IITs. The older established ones may get more recruiters but also have larger batches to place.

The new #IITs are scampering for recruiters. Some have dialled placement agencies.

@TauseefShahidi thanks for all the help.

I am an alumnus of IIT Kharagpur & IIT Delhi.

In 2006-08, I developed a solution to the problems that Indian Rly was facing in building the rail link to Kashmir.

My idea was examined and was being considered for implementation, but soon a vicious campaign to scuttle the..1/6
..process began.

I had to seek Court intervention. The Courts ruled that Railway Board acted against me for the malafide purpose of scuttling the review.

An Expert Committee appointed on orders of Delhi HC said that ongoing construction should be scrapped and my alignment..2/6
... should be adopted to start construction afresh. But, Rly Board refused to accept the unanimous recommendations of the committee.

Today, not just the Kashmir Rail Link Project but all 7 projects in Himalayas are in a deep mess because of the flawed alignment methodology..3/6

For admissions to #IITs, apart from qualifying the #JEE (Advanced), the eligibility was to secure either minimum score of 75% marks in class XII Board exams or rank among the top 20 percentile in their qualifying examinations.

@MIB_India @DDNewslive
Due to the partial cancellation of class XII exams by several Boards, Joint Admission Board (JAB) has decided to relax the eligibility criterion for #JEE (Advanced) 2020 qualified candidates this time.
@HRDMinistry @PIB_India
@MIB_India @DDNewslive
Qualified candidates who have passed class XII examinations will now be eligible for admissions irrespective of marks obtained.

Ingenious Trickery – Draft National Education Policy 2019 velivada.com/2019/08/21/ing…
Excuse me for the Self Retweet...
The reverse counting has begun to pass this dangerous law. #Nep2019
नई शिक्षा नीति 2019 लागू की जाती है तो यह सरे आम होगा...

डॉ कस्तुरीरंगन समिति की स्पष्ट सिफारिश है कि शिक्षण संस्थानों को पूर्ण स्वायत्तता दी जाए.
और शिक्षा को फिलान्थ्रोफी के माध्यम से निजी संस्थानों को सौंप दिया जाए.

Yet another landmark quality initiative of @narendramodi Government. The #InstituteofEminence are selected by the Experts Panel & today we are releasing list of 6 universities - 3 each in public and private sector. #TransformingEducation #48MonthsOfTransformingIndia
@PIB_India
The #InstituteofEminence are important for the country. We have 800 univ, but not a single university in top 100 or even 200 in the world ranking. Today's decision will help achieve this.
#InstituteofEminence #TransformingEducation #48MonthsOfTransformingIndia
@PIB_India
Improving ranking needs sustained planning, complete freedom & public institutes getting public funding. This is the commitment of @narendramodi govt to not to interfere but to allow institute to grow the way they should grow.
