Management Aptitude Test (MAT), 2015 results have been announced by All India Management Association (AIMA), New Delhi. Candidates, who have appeared for the exam, can check their results on the official website of All India Management Association (AIMA), New Delhi.






The Common Entrance Test (CET) for admission into engineering courses in Maharashtra may come back from 2016. It has been reported that once the CET is restored, the state will withdraw from the Joint Entrance Examination Main (JEE Main) system, which is conducted by the Center to grant admission into the state engineering colleges.

It can be recalled that before 2014, Maharashtra had its own entrance test. Over 1 lakh students, who aspire for admissions into engineering courses in the state might have write CET. Since the application process for JEE Main 2015 is already over, there will be no changes this year. However, CET may come back from 2016 for engineering admissions.

According to reports, one of the main reasons of getting back into the CET system is to bring relief to the students who need to shell out more than Rs 2.5 lakh to private coaching institutes for JEE Main, which is based on the syllabus designed by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE).


JEE Main is an all-India engineering entrance examination held by the CBSE. However, once the state holds its own CET based on the state board syllabus, it will aid students from the rural regions. Once CET is restored, the government will continue to assign 50% weightage to Class XII scores as well as 50% to CET scores, instead of the JEE Main.

The Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) at Delhi University (DU) will be put into practice from the coming academic session says the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD). As per reports, the University Grants Commission (UGC) has requested for swift action on the implementation of CBCS as well as the Credit Framework for Skill Development (CFSD) from the 2015 academic session.

According to reports, MHRD has also asked DU to provide information on its preparation to implement the CBCS. DU had set up a seven-member committee in December, 2014 to work out the modalities of implementing the CBCS. The Academic Council of DU gave its nod to the proposal recently. Thereafter, MHRD requested to the varsity for the details pertaining to its preparation to implement the system. The ministry also advised that the policy should not be implemented in a hasty or rash manner.

It was reported that CBCS is expected to be implemented in all universities of the country, starting the 2015-16 academic year. The new system is being implemented to bring about a merger of knowledge with expertise in the education system of India. The system will enable students to take up a subject of preference and migrate in a smooth fashion across different institutes in the country through the grading system. They will be able to learn at their own pace, take up additional courses if necessary and earn more than the required credits. 

The credit framework for skills will foster respect for skills/vocational courses and bring such courses under mainstream higher education. Once the system is implemented, it will bring about changes in the education system which will help meet student aspirations as well as employment requirements.







Studying abroad opens up global opportunities for students and many who prefer to study abroad also prefer to work there at least for the first few years. But in recent many countries have made it a little difficult to find work after studies all thanks to the changes made to the post study work visa guidelines.

Now it has been reported that Scotland is keen for the return of the post-study work visa, in a bid to win back the waning foreign student population of the United Kingdom (UK). It can be recalled that the post-study work visa facility was scrapped by the UK government in the year 2012. These visas allowed graduates to work in UK for a period of two years after the completion of their studies.

It was reported that according to officials of the Scottish education department, the unrestricted exchange of students and scholars is a key element of the success of any academic institute. Hence, the immigration system should not be a hindrance to such facilities, which will act as a deterrent for foreign students to pursue their higher education in the UK. 

As per reports, after UK modified its immigration policy which stopped its post-study work option for international students, Scotland has witnessed around 51% decrease in Indian students opting for Scottish educational institutes. Currently, more than 2,000 Indian students are pursuing different higher education courses throughout Scotland.

Adding on the list of 13 IIMs, the new Indian Institute of Management (IIM) at the city of Nagpur will start its first academic session from July, 2015. According to reports, the officials of the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) conducted site inspections for the Nagpur IIM recently and indicated that the institute may be ready to start functioning from this July.

It can be recalled that the city of Nagpur has been chosen as the location to set up the proposed IIM in the state of Maharashtra. It is the first IIM to be set up in Maharashtra. The 2015-16 academic sessions will start with a batch of around 60 students. IIM Nagpur will start operating from the Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology (VNIT). It will be a temporary campus, until the permanent IIM campus is fully geared.

According to reports, the permanent campus is planned at a 293-acre site in Multi-modal International Cargo Hub and Airport at Nagpur (MIHAN), which is a Maharashtra Airport Development Corporation land at Mouza Dahegaon in the non-SEZ area. The state government is striving to ensure that the complete set-up for the new IIM in Mihan is ready by the year 2018, while admissions start from the next academic session.


IIM Ahmedabad will be the mentor institute for IIM Nagpur. The process of appointment for faculty and other officials is expected to commence by the end of March, 2015.

Placements at top Indian colleges this year have hit the headlines for huge offers from MNCs including Google and Facebook and a host of other large Indian companies. There was also news of Rs 1 crore-plus salary offers being extended to IIT students.

But the defining trend this year is the unprecedented number of students who opted to work for startups instead of established companies during campus placements. According to reports, more than 10% of the 9,000-plus students who will graduate out of IITs this year are likely to take up employment in new age companies, mostly startups.

It was mentioned that across India's top engineering and business school campuses, fresh graduates are keenly seeking the exhilaration of working in a start-up environment. Across major cities, fresh graduates and seasoned executives are both showing a remarkable increase in risk appetite, actively seeking jobs in startups.


Many factors are fuelling this. First, many of them dream of turning entrepreneurs themselves and see employment in a startup as a first step in that direction. Second, startups have now begun to offer competitive salaries — both cash and Esops. Even a year ago, startups were limited in their ability to pay out cash compensation. But in 2014, venture capital firms invested about $1.06 billion (Rs 6,600 crore) in over 244 startups, as per reports.

The goal of producing more capable engineering graduates has always been a challenge and now it seems that institutional challenges of hiring a technical faculty seems to be one of the major problems ahead of that. According to reports, around 30% of faculty positions in private engineering institutes at the undergraduate (UG) level throughout India are vacant.

As per data provided by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) in December 2014, the average faculty crunch across India is of 30%. In the states of Andhra Pradesh (AP) and Gujarat, there is over 33% shortage of engineering faculty. The state of Tamil Nadu (TN), which has the most number of engineering colleges after AP, has a faculty shortage of 27.9%.

It was reported that All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), the statutory body of the technical education system has approved around four times more faculty posts for engineering institutes across the country than what is actually required. Although the council has approved 15.8 lakh faculty posts, only a little over four lakhs are necessary. Still, the colleges are facing the severe crunch with a mere 2.95 lakh professors. Hence, the problem lies with filling all the sanctioned faculty posts.


It was mentioned that private institutions often fail to find quality professors due to their unwillingness to invest in attractive salaries for faculty. In many instances, although candidates are keen to teach courses such as computer science, mechanical engineering, electronics, etc., they may not make the cut with the management when they appear for the interview.
