Subsidy vs (scale/reach) issues

Today, one of the reasons why Mumbai (or Kolkata or Delhi) Universities see such a stampede at admission time: fees is impractically low. Maybe 20-30k a yr. Could've charged more & then scaled up the system to admit 5x the current intake.
Look at the tiny batch sizes - waste of capacity

some of these places routinely need 95+ for admission

Dual degrees were rolled out without sufficient thought & ended up getting a bad name; many places stopped these programs. But for those in a stream of interest, dual-programs open up a whole lot of options. BTechs graduate with just 1 focused yr (3rd yr). Momentum disrupted.

But the dual degree in some places is a nightmare.
IIIT-Hyd folk routinely take 6-7 years. Unrealistic expectations about publishing papers. But that's a private institution, not a JNU with guaranteed taxpayer funding to lifelong-students.
The best way forward will be to
(a) permit students to leave after 5 or 5.5 yrs with the UG degree, if their requirements for the ME or MTech are not completed.
(b) Allow the MS-MTech-ME in areas different from the UG if some pre-reqs have been completed
(c) No-thesis option

One important topic which never gets sufficient attention in curriculum design (school & university)

Does a series vs parallel arrangement matter?
For eg: 10 chapters of Phy, chem, bio
is it better/worse to do them as 30 chapters, 1 after the other (Science) or tri-forked PCB
same for history & geography.
Better to split them & run H&G in parallel; or does it make sense to do them one after the other (assuming total workload same in each case)
Parallel = mental clutter?

Don't think of CBSE-ICSE Sci
'coz for PCB (9-10) latter has 2.5-3x the portion

Strange. No shortage of "deep programs" esp in the arts, in our country. A big fail, even those with 95% cutoffs.
A cocktail of 4 courses from 5 areas each might very well be a better base, nowadays. 1 yr of intense independent reading can provide depth.

Initial glitches and hitches will always be there but for those who can afford it, Ashoka will make a lot more sense than a traditional Mumbai or Calcutta University college. Their pricing point will also end up giving you a better professional network.

Today, I will try my hand at live tweeting insights from "A #Home of One's Own", a two-day #researchworkshop on socially & economically #marginalised women's experiences of and negotiations with #genderinequalities in #informalurbanhousing in India.
This workshop has been organised by #JadavpurUniversity (School of Women's Studies), #RabindraBharathiUniversity (Centre for Women's Studies) and #Parichiti, a women's organisation. All three are research partners on a #GCRF project funded by @GoldsmithsUoL.
Since Oct 2018, I have collaborated with Dr. Henrike Donner, who is leading it, to develop #researchcollaborations with #educational and #development organisations in India to implement a pilot study on #genderurbanhousing. This workshop marks the end of the first phase.

Today we're launching the new Twitter.com! So many inspiring people worked on this 2-year project, and we learned so much. I want to share our learnings with the world, so I asked my teammates: What's the most valuable thing you learned while building the new site? 👇
"It's fascinating remaking Twitter from scratch. There's so many different features or tools, and so many little details that go into each of those! It was fun to get to ask "why" a million times and learn the history and quirks behind everything on the site." - @CharlieCroom
"The most valuable thing I learned was how to practically take a huge multi-year project and break it up into milestones that both feel more achievable, and can be more easily communicated." - @m7z

@sophiejrigney @elizabethmoya @makesmilk @babyfriendly Anthropologist here - I have written about changing ideas about #time and about the regulation of infants quite a bit. These are #culturalideologies that came about in late 19th-early 20th century in response to social changes 1/n
@sophiejrigney @elizabethmoya @makesmilk @babyfriendly the rise of industrial #capitalism changed labor practices and emphasized efficiency and predictability. The #clock was particularly important in this regard.
@sophiejrigney @elizabethmoya @makesmilk @babyfriendly There was a fundamental reworking of #time from a very different understanding - agricultural labor has a very different rhythm (EP Thompson famously wrote about this) jstor.org/stable/649749?…
