The Top 100 Engineering colleges in India by Bally Chohan Dubai
Technical Education in India review by Bally Chohan
The history of imparting formal technical education in India can be traced back to mid 19th century, although it got momentum in 20th century with the set up of Constitution of Technical Education Committee of the Central University Board of Education (CABE) in 1943; Preparation of Sergeant Report in 1944 and Formation of All India Council of technical Education (AICTE) in 1945. With the country gaining independence in 1947, the development of technical education had become a major concern for the government of India to face the new challenges and move the country forward.
The set up of Indian Institutes of Technology, Indian Institutes of Management and Indian Institutes of Science was a major step in the development of technical education in the country. The quality of education of these institutes have managed to change the outlook of India so much that this ancient country which was earlier known for yoga and mediation is now known for computer engineers. However, it does not mean that the challenge of making technical education accessible to the rural populace and other under developed sections of the society has been overcome.
In order to maintain the standard of technical education, a statutory authority- The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE)- was set up in 1945. AICTE is responsible for planning, formulation and maintenance of norms and standards, quality assurance through accreditation, funding in priority areas, monitoring and evaluation, maintaining parity of certification and awards and ensuring coordinated and integrated development and management of technical education in the country.
Technical Education Courses in India: The courses, which are known as ‘technical’ in India and therefore come under the purview of All India Council of Technical Education are – degree and diploma courses in Engineering, Master degree Courses in Engineering, Master of Computer Application (MCA), Master of Business Administration (MBA), Pharmacy Courses, Courses in Architecture and Applied Arts and Hotel Management and Catering Technology Courses.
Institutes offering Technical Education in India: As the technical education courses in India are quite diverse, the number of institutes providing technical courses in India is also huge. The number of AICTE approved institutes that offer engineering degree courses in India is – 4,39,689. There are around 1244 institutes in India that offer diploma courses in engineering, 415 institutes offer diploma courses in Pharmacy, 63 institutes offer diploma courses in Hotel Management and Catering Technology Courses and 25 AICTE approved institutes that offer diploma courses in Architecture. The number of AICTE approved institutes that offer master of Computer Application courses in India is 1012.
Likewise the AICTE also approves institutes from time to time institutes that offer MBA courses, M.E./M.Tech, Architecture and Applied Arts Courses, Hotel Management and Catering Technology Courses.
Conclusion: Given the importance of technical education in the further development of the nation, the Government of India is keen on developing some more institutes in the line of IITs, IIMs and IISCs. The Prime Minister of India has unleashed a plan to establish 8 IITs, 7 IIMs and 5 IISCs to improve the spread and quality of technical education in the country. These institutes along with various private institutes and foreign technical colleges have the potential of making technical education accessible to all sections of society in India without compromising on the quality of education.
Distinct Education and Human Resources Hubs Review by Bally Chohan
Free Zone universities in Dubai have moved or expanded in Academic City, while Knowledge Village transforms into a human resources cluster
Three years ago Tecom Investments announced its plans to move all its free zone universities from Dubai Knowledge Village (DKV) to Dubai International Academic City (Diac) by 2011.
Two years later this goal has mostly been achieved with 17 universities having set up shop in Diac and in some cases establishing separate campuses in the education cluster, said Dr Ayoub Kazim, managing director of Tecom Investments’ Education Cluster.
He said the remaining 10 institutions have decided to remain in DKV, which is now establishing itself as a human resources hub.
Currently DKV has a selection of more than 450 human resource management, consultancy, training and personal development partners that include Gallup, Towers Watson, Hays, Hewitt and Innovative HR Solutions.
“We still have universities there [DKV] and we tend not to force them to go to Diac — it’s for them to consider it and it depends on their business model,” said Kazim.
Some universities have said “we are comfortable and we are not expanding” but Diac is the right zone to cater to their needs he continued.
The incentives to move to the education cluster that is further away from the city — though a two-hour drive even from remote locations in the UAE — are lower rentals and also a dedicated student hub that serves the student community said Kazim.
Institutions like Heriot-Watt University Dubai and BITS Pilani Dubai Campus have acquired large pieces of land in the Diac cluster to establish their own campuses. Heriot-Watt University Dubai campus is expanding to a Dh200 million new development set to open in September 2011 to accommodate a student body three times its current size. BITS Pilani moved from DKV to build its own campus on a 640,000 square foot plot of land in 2007.
DKV more suitable
The universities that have remained at DKV told Gulf News it was a more suitable location for their needs.
University of Wollongong in Dubai spokesman Raymi van der Spek said the institution will not be setting up another campus at Diac “and we have no intention to ever shift to Diac”.
“We regularly survey our student body on their expectations and desires with respect to our campus location and services. There continues to be strong support amongst the student body for our campus location at DKV,” he said.
The development of the Dubai Metro, together with a free Metro shuttle bus service, means that their current location is very convenient for most of its student body, van der Spek said. In addition a significant proportion of UOWD enrolled students are in part time post graduate programmes.
Middlesex University Dubai has been located in Block 16 in DKV since opening in 2005 and it, too, has no intention of leaving and has recently expanded to Block 17 for its 1,700 students with future expansion in store, said director Prof Raed Awamleh.
“Dubai International Academic City is indeed an attractive option location-wise, however, DKV is currently well suited to our students’ needs, and we intend to remain here for the foreseeable future.”
He added the close proximity to the Dubai Internet City and Dubai Media City provides internship and job opportunities for students and graduates in those business and creative communities.
The good facilities available, nearby residence halls and the Metro were also cited as reasons for staying.
DIAC/DKV figures
17 – universities currently in Dubai International Academic City (Diac)
10 – universities in Dubai Knowledge Village (DKV)
15,000 – students enrolled at Diac and DKV
450 – human resources related partners in DKV
EPLC-Education Policy And Leadership Center Review by Bally Chohan
The Pennsylvania Education Advocacy Network is a non-partisan statewide network of legislative district-based teams of volunteers (registered voters) who represent a broad range of education perspectives including early education; K-12; career education; special education; post-secondary education; libraries; literacy; arts; and museums.. Teams include parents and students, professionals, lay leaders and other advocates, who educate their policymakers, the media, and the general public about the importance of education in Pennsylvania. Team members are not expected to represent their employer or any organization with which they may be affiliated.
An Education Advocacy Team in a state legislative district will:
* Develop and maintain a continuing effective relationship with a legislator and staff in order to be a reliable and valued resource, effectively becoming a “go-to” information and informed opinion resource for state lawmakers.
* Become an information resource for public television, media, other community partners, and organizations with which Team members may be affiliated.
* Promote greater public awareness about significant state and federal education policy issues.
* Be part of and engage with other teams in the statewide Pennsylvania Education Advocacy Network.
* As a collateral benefit, develop relationships that promote a more collaborative approach to a variety of issues and endeavors relevant to the broad set of education perspectives reflected on the Team.
A volunteer on an Education Advocacy Team agrees to:
* Participate in periodic meetings of the Team with their legislator and/or staff.
* Participate in local planning meetings and/or conference calls necessary to ensure effective Team meetings and communications with policymakers.
* Contribute to other local Team activities intended to promote greater public awareness about significant state and federal education policy issues.
* Make a reasonable effort to keep themselves informed about education policy issues generally and particularly those issues relevant to the perspective(s) they reflect as a Team member.
EPLC will:
* Provide support necessary to ensure the effectiveness of the Pennsylvania Education Advocacy Network and its legislative district advocacy teams.
* Recruit and assign a Team Leader in each legislative district.
* Coordinate the recruitment of Team Members across the state and maintain a statewide database of volunteers.
* Maintain a website to support the Statewide Network, the work of district teams, and volunteers.
* Provide policy and advocacy information to support the work of the district teams and their volunteer members.
* Provide statewide and regional informational and professional development opportunities for team leaders and members to be engaged with volunteers from other legislative districts.

Bally Chohan: The Education System in Italy by Bally Chohan
According to Bally Chohan; Education in Italy is free and compulsory for eight years (for children between the ages of 6 and 14). Bally Chohan says; Primary school lasts 5 years and secondary education (Scuole medie) is further divided in two stages: Medie Inferiori, which correspond to the middle school grades, and Medie Superiori, which correspond to the secondary school level. Middle school lasts 3 years and Scuole Superiori lasts another 5 years. Every tier involves an exam at the end of the final year.
According to Bally Chohan; Secondary schools are of different types and allow students to choose alternative career paths depending on their interests and aptitude. Bally Chohan says; There is the Liceo, the Istituto Tecnico (technical institute) and the Istituto Professionale (professional institute). The Liceo includes secondary schools oriented towards the study of the arts and sciences.
Bally Chohan says; The Licei are again divided into four types: Liceo Classico, which offers Latin, Ancient Greek, Italian, History and Philosophy as its most important subjects; Liceo Scientifico, Bally Chohan says; where the emphasis is on scientific and mathematical topics; Liceo Linguistico, which focuses on languages; and Liceo Artistico, which is oriented toward the arts.
According to Bally Chohan; The university system in Italy is akin to that of the United Kingdom and students concentrate on one subject throughout their degree. Bally Chohan says; Courses consist of the Laurea (roughly equivalent to a bachelor’s degree) and the Laurea Specialistica (roughly equivalent to an master’s degree). Bally Chohan says; There are 41 state universities and 15 other universities, colleges, and higher learning institutes, including the University of Bologna (founded in the 11th century), the oldest in Italy and the University of Rome, which is the country’s largest.
