Sometimes there are institutions which are hidden gems & not too many folk know about them. One such college is Sri Venkateswara in Delhi (under TTD). Opened in the 90s, south campus, lots of courses which older campuses don't have: bioinfo, biochem, stats

far more variety than what older places offer

Compare with what older institutions offer (always harder to re-invent as time passes, in general):

Except for Xavier's - regular degree programs in Mumbai-University are in a really bad state (vs those in good colleges of DU)

Nothing but some super general courses in arts, science, commerce etc.

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.

It’s #Monday, I’m boozing it up at a 4 seat bar, the #barkeep is a long pourer, and I’m all fucking set if I get something stuck between my teeth.👇🙃 #RandomThoughts #drinking #OutAndAbout
Shooting the shit with a friend, she’s proud to be doing well with her plants - unusual for her.

The key was a #video explaining the benefits of pruning.

She needs REASONS. She got them.

Apparently, pruning in a particular manner stimulates growth hormones.
#RandomThoughts
Of course, this led to me initiating a discussion about the #movie I just watched on Hulu, called “The German Doctor.”

The main character was Josef Mengele. #ThisHappened

People, this is why I’m known in my circles as “The Black Hole Of Conversation.” SMTH

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

@occupiedbypak
Though #Pakistan was created on religious line, #Jinnah was most liberal Muslim who never wanted #Pakistan a religious firm!
Till 1977 , Religion was just a personal choice in #Pakistan , General #Zia not only pushed religion but also took country decades backward !
#SZAB
Zia knew he had zero support from People hence he decided to take support from Mullahs and he ensured that hardcore Islam penetrate each institution in #Pakistan including #Army & #ISI !
#Soviet invaded #Afghanistan in 1979, #Zia used this opportunity to the fullest .
#US wanted to work on Proxy war, Zia got excellent platform to build these Proxies in Madrassa's of Pakistan.

#RobbingGod

The story of how a death at the heart of the Holy Roman Empire set in motion a series of events and a fierce rivalry that engulfed Tirumala Tirupati Temples in such a way the reverberations of which are felt even today.

#RobbingGod

How East India Company tookover Tirumala Tirupati Temples & established rules for its plunder through the entry of their agent Mahants & establishment of Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams for successive independent Indian governments to follow.

gginews.in/robbing-god-sm…
Centuries ago funds from these world’s richest temples of Tirumala Tirupati influenced not just elections of #Commonwealth but financed operations of bankrupt #BritishEmpire & setup numerous modern business houses involved in smuggling antiques even today.
