Placement Rates show engineering colleges ignore AICTE
Institutions in the state can function without the approval of the highest accreditation agency for technical education in the country, the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), or so it seems.
While AICTE last week issued a list of 43 colleges which are functioning without accreditation from it, the state government has failed to issue show cause notices to even one of these institutions.
The colleges will thus continue to function, as of now, enjoying their autonomous status while conducting examinations and making placements, releasing results and even granting degrees without approval from AICTE.

MBA graduates have low employability
A national survey on MBA graduates' employability report mentions that the hiring levels are very low. National Employability Report - MBA Graduates, Annual Report 2012 is the source for that.
It cites a low employability of MBA graduates across specializations. Nearly 2.14 lakh students have applied for 3500 seats through CAT this year, which is just a small chunk of the huge capacity of management education in the country. While millions put their future at stake, there is an urgent need to audit whether we are training industry-ready individuals. This is truly a challenging time for the MBA graduates. Principal's national conference soon!
CBSE chairman Vineet Joshi will be the star speaker at the National Conference of School Principals (NCSP) being organized next month in the Capital, by a private organization.
According to the latest reports, the previous such conferences have attracted academicians from all over the country along with bureaucrats as well.
TeacherSITY, in association with Uttrakhand Technical University, CBSE, NCERT and NUEPA is organizing the two day function on November 8 and 9.
