'CAMS' M. TECH PROG. AT VVCE

 

The M.Tech programme "Computational Analysis in Mechanical Sciences" (CAMS) of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Vidyavardhaka College of Engineering, was inaugurated on Sept.24.

The PG programme will begin from today (Sept. 30). Dr. K Chidananda Gowda, former Vice-Chancellor, Kuvempu University, was the chief guest. Vindhya, student of third semester, rendered the invocation. Dr. B. Sadashivegowda, HoD, Department of Mechanical Engineering, welcomed. P Vishwa-nath, Secretary, V.V. Sangha, emphasised on the technical relevance of the PG programme.

Gundappa Gowda, President of V.V. Sangha, presided. Prof. B.L.S Murthy spoke on the occasion. G.V. Naveen Prakash, Lecturer, proposed a vote of thanks. S.A. Mohan Krishna, Lecturer of the Dept., compered.

The M.Tech programme in CAMS is a first of its kind under VTU. This specialisation has been conceived based on the dearth of personnel in this field in both teaching and industry. It is apt to mention that the application of computational tools in the analysis of engineering problems is indispensable.

The curriculum covers all prominent streams of Mechanical Engineering namely Thermal, Design, Management and Manufacturing.

The graduates of Computational Analysis in Mechanical Sciences (CAMS) can pursue their career in Aerospace Engineering, Automobile Engineering, Railways, Design of Earth Moving Equipments, Oil and Gas Industry, Design of Defense Equipments & Machine Tools, Thermal Analysis and Teaching and R & D.

The duration of the M.Tech programme is two years with the eligibility of 50% aggregate and 45% for SC/ST. Guest lectures from IITs, IISc and Industries will also be arranged.

The selection criterion is as per VTU norms.

VTU taps tech for exam reforms

Visvesvaraya Technological University is logging on to technology to introduce sweeping examination reforms from the next academic

year. This includes electronic distribution of question papers, digital correction of answer scripts and faster processing of results.
The university plans to do away with the physical distribution of question papers as is done now; it’s looking at partly automated supply-chain management to send them to all centres. Question papers are e-transmitted to these centres and printed there. “When there is a physical distribution of question papers, it goes through various routes and there’s the possibility of a leak. Using technology, papers will be sent directly to centres,” VTU vice-chancellor H P Khincha told The Times of India.
The university will password-protect the papers to ensure utmost security. For example, when papers are sent to a particular centre, a certain ‘key’ (password, in common parlance) will be given to the authorized person. When he enters the key, authentication is sent to the university and only then can he access the question papers. “The key will be constantly changed to prevent malpractice,” the vice-chancellor said.

For ragging-free campuses

The Visvesvaraya Technological University is looking forward to making the campuses of all its affiliated engineering colleges in Karnataka “ragging free.” The recent meeting of principals, hostel wardens, student representatives from affiliated colleges under Belgaum region and police officials convened at VTU’s Jnana Sangama campus in Belgaum is said to be a concrete measure in that direction.

The meeting was convened to take fresh stock of the menace of ragging and its disastrous effect on children and their parents in various engineering colleges, particularly those under private managements, and find out ways and means for its complete eradication.

“We want to make VTU a ragging-free university,” VTU Registrar K.V.A. Balaji said in his presidential remarks while appealing to the gathering to join hands with the university in achieving the common objective.

What was initially considered as having some fun with freshers later took an ugly turn with physical injuries, humiliation and mental torture resulting in deaths and ruining lives. The Supreme Court and the Government of India took serious note of these incidents and even legislated laws to ensure that all such cases of ragging, which are in violation of human rights, shall be tried under the criminal justice system instead of allowing the administrations concerned to deal with the situation.

Though incidences of ragging have scaled down to a considerable extent during the last couple of years, it continues to be in vogue in different forms and varying degrees. Fear of law and stray cases of retaliation by juniors helped in bringing some relief, says a student of KLE Engineering College, Belgaum.

Easy prey

Another student from city-based Gogte Institute of Technology (GIT) pointed out that the easy prey for ragging are the freshers coming from outside the town as hardly anybody dared to rag locals.

Some students tend not to join campus hostels and choose to rent rooms outside and remain in groups for the first few days. However, once the pressure from semester exams begins to build up, everyone settles with his studies, which in turn eases the fear of ragging among juniors.

But what has contributed to increase in ragging is the proliferation of private institutions offering higher education, as observed by Mr. Balaji and his views conform with reports indicating that incidents of ragging had gone up with the increase in number of private professional colleges in Karnataka and across the country.

While there are laws to take action after the incidents are reported, teachers can play an important role in moulding views against ragging and explaining how disastrous it could be on its victims. At the same time, the parents of senior students must advise their children to not to harass any junior student. Both college administrations and parents must lend due personal care to ensure that students remain away from drugs, alcohol and other intoxicants too.

The college administrations also need to spread greater awareness about anti-ragging measures by displaying notifications all over the campus, particularly during admission time, said a student representative who participated in the meeting at VTU.

The meeting was formally inaugurated by GIT Principal M.D. Kulkarni, who highlighted the role of principals, faculty and parents in eradicating ragging from campuses.

VTU holds meet to check ragging

Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) on Thursday convened a meeting of principals, hostel wardens, and student representatives of

its affiliated college and the police to discuss ways to rid the campuses of ragging.

VTU registrar prof. K V A Balaji said an increase in the number of ragging-related incidents in India was due to the proliferation of private institutions offering higher education. "Ragging is a violation of human rights wherein senior students target their juniors to derive sadistic pleasure," he added.
He called upon the teachers to give more time to mould the personalities of their students and bring about awareness among the students against indulging in bad habits like ragging, drinking and abusing drugs. He also asked the principals to help the university to be ragging-free.
Prof. M D Kulkarni, principal of Gogte Institute of Technology (Belgaum), inaugurated the meeting and explained the role of principals and the faculty members in rooting out ragging.

Prof. U S Hampannavar, special officer (VTU regional office, Belgaum) co-ordinated the meeting attended by over 100 representatives.

College sets ‘fine’ example

The New Horizon College located on Marathalli Outer Ring Road has once again set a ‘fine’ example in its campus. After being in the news for charging exorbitant parking fee, the college has begun to fine students who wear sandals or floaters.

The management feels shoes give a ‘touch of professionalism’, while sandals make students look ‘unprofessional’.

The rule applies only to boys in various disciplines, including engineering and management. Those found wearing sandals are caught and fined Rs 100 ‘on the spot’. Earlier, the rule was mandatory for both girls and boys. Now, girls have been exempted.

Meanwhile, a parent has written a letter to Bangalore Mirror highlighting the college’s ‘fine’ decisions. The letter runs thus.

“My ward has been studying in the college for the past couple of years. I’ve seen her suffer inwardly. I feel helpless because my daughter does not allow me to talk to the management because it might trouble her. For the past one week, the parking fees has become a serious issue between the college management and students. But this is just the tip of the iceberg.”
“If a student is found without an ID card in the campus, he has to pay Rs 100 as fine. If found with a cellphone (whether it is being used or not), one has to pay Rs 500,” he has said.

He said the semester and exam fees for colleges coming under the VTU is Rs 550, but students are made to pay Rs 600. According to the CET, one has to pay an annual fees of Rs 28,090 for the BE course. “In addition, an extra ‘college fees’ of Rs 15,000 has to be paid here.

And no receipt is issued.When I contacted the management, they said it’s a management policy not to issue receipts,” the parent has charged.

The college fees, which was Rs 12,000 till last year, was increased by Rs 3,000 this year. “When some students wrote to the management asking it to reduce it, few students who wrote the letter were booked under ‘drug peddling’ by the management,” he said.

“If these charges seem false or exaggerated, visit Orkut or Facebook and you will know the truth,” he has said.

Meanwhile, repeated attempts to contact the principal has gone in vain.

'All’s not well with VTU PG counselling’

BANGALORE: In his letter to Governor H R Bhardwaj, a Bangalore University (BU) Syndicate member has alleged that a big racket is involved in the admissions for various postgraduate courses offered by Visveswaraya Technological University (VTU).

The member, A P Ranganath, says that candidates seeking admission to MCA, MBA, MTech, MArch and other courses are required to write Karnataka Post Graduate Common Entrance Test (PGCET), and later seats are allotted through counselling.

He explains the modus operandi as follows: A candidate seeking admission to a particular college blocks a seat there, by paying money, before the counselling. Later he or she gets admitted to that college on production of the letter given during counselling by VTU authorities.

The VTU authorities ensure that the student get a seat in that college itself, as they are hand-in-glove with the colleges.

Ranganath has urged the governor to conduct a detailed enquiry and usher in transparency in the system.

VTU student writes to CM for help

TUMKUR: A meritorious but poor girl student of Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) who hails from Shimoga has written to Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa seeking financial help to pursue her studies.

On Tuesday, the CM himself had offered help to poor students pursuing higher education while inaugurating the ‘hosa hejje’ scheme. And he had asked the students to write to him directly.

B C Vani, a third semester BE student of Channabasaveshwara Institute of Technology (CIT) at Gubbi town in the district, could not have got a better opportunity than this.

The CIT is run by Tumkur BJP MP GS Basaraju. She had secured 84.38 per cent marks in the second semester examinations.

Though her family had been facing financial crunch following the death of her father Cheluvaiah, she had joined the engineering course by obtaining an educational loan.

Now, as she is in need of a personal computer and has to meet other expenses, she has written to the CM seeking financial help.

She has addressed Yeddyurappa as ‘theertharoopa samanarada’ (you are like my father) seeking his help and posted it to his official residence on Thursday.

She hails from ‘besta’- fishermen community of Bhadravati taluk and since her father had passed away some years ago, her mother Vanajakshamma and grandfather have been toiling for the girl’s education.

Letter to guv alleging racket in admissions

BANGALORE: Bangalore University syndicate member A P Ranganath `alleged' that a racket exists in admissions to MBA, MCA, MTech, ME and MArch

conducted through Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU).
In a letter to governor H R Bhardwaj on Wednesday, he said candidates taking admission to these courses through VTU are required to take PGCET by VTU and then select a seat through counselling held in two places -- Belgaum and Bangalore.
"Candidates seeking admission to a particular college blocks a seat at a particular institution/college at the time of counselling, and later gets admitted to the particular college on production of letter that is given at the time of counselling," the letter stated.
Further, the letter stated: "As part of the racket, candidates no interested in taking up PG course appears for the entrance exam, appears in counselling and blocks a seat in a particular college. The candidate also collects a letter of his or her choice but does not get admitted to the college.
"The seat is blocked by the student and is shown as allotted. If the candidate is not admitted, the seat falls vacant and gets filled by the college management under a discretionary quota. The seats are filled after collecting huge amount as donations and capitation fees."
He has urged the governor to conduct a detailed enquiry and bring in transparency in the system.
