Scholarships in India

On this page, I have tried to provide the details of various scholarships available in India. These fellowships in India and abroad may be offered at various levels of study like graduate level, postgraduate level, doctorate level or post doctorate level in various streams of study. Most of these doctoral fellowships, postdoctoral fellowships and other scholarships in India are meant for the needy and meritorious students so that financial constrains do not become a reason for discontinuing education.

But some of these scholarships are meant to encourage students to pursue research and some fellowships are meant to promote cultural interaction among students from different countries.

These fellowships in India may be provided by both the government and the private organizations. While most of the scholarships in India are meant for Indian students, some institutes also offer fellowships to foreign scholars.

Careers in aviation grow but sector faces slowdown

New Delhi: The Indian aviation sector may have hit an air pocket because of an industry slowdown and rising airfares, but a leading travel and tourism training institute says that this is temporary - the sector will boom, and jobs abound. The Kuoni Academy of Travel, the Mumbai-based training institute that is part of the Kuoni Travel Group, has tied up with the Britain-based Cabin Crew Direct and the Dubai-based International Airline and Business Academy (IABA) to train cabin crew aspirants. It is offering a four-month diploma course comprising 18 modules designed in association with leading international airlines to meet training standards across the world. "We have tried to ensure that our courses meet the highest standards of quality. The tie-up with Cabin Crew Direct and IABA underlines our commitment to provide Indian students with world class content which can help them with their careers," Kuoni Academy principal Smeeta Gulvady said. The International Air Transport Association (IATA), in its latest estimates, reckons India will be the driving force behind the world's civil aviation business that is globally expected to grow from $5.1 billion to $5.6 billion this year. The current market size of the international air traffic in India is nearly $5 billion (Rs 21,000). Industry insiders forecast that it is expected to grow phenomenally, creating a huge need for skilled manpower. "There is such a huge demand for cabin jobs and a vast number of such jobs are available, not necessarily in India at the moment due to temporary problems," John Ellis, chief executive officer of Cabin Crew Direct, said. "International airlines open a great career option, offering an opportunity for the cabin crew to visit different countries and continents that they could ever dream of," he added. Ellis also said that Indians perform better as cabin crew than many nationalities across the globe because they are highly educated. "They adapt well to training, they are very presentable, and India is the nation that speaks English best though it is not the country's first language," Ellis said. "The best types of applicants are those who are well-educated, very presentable and enthusiastic and have experience in customer service. Other criteria include height, weight, eyesight and, as most airlines demand, the ability to swim, " he said. "The average Indian applicant fulfills a lot of these criteria being a very hospitable, intelligent and friendly race. However, the ability to swim is not as high in India as compared to some other countries. And this is an area where the Kuoni academy will be helping the candidates," he further said. Overall, Ellis said, the quality of cabin crew from India is world class, as can be seen from international airlines who recruit from them in large numbers

English introduced as a subject in engineering colleges!!!

Sensing that poor communication skills in English might be holding back engineering students in Uttar Pradesh from getting good jobs, authorities have decided that the subject would be introduced in engineering colleges and institutes in the state, an official said on Monday. Uttar Pradesh Technical University (UPTU) that governs over 230 technical institutes across the state will introduce the subject for engineering students, the official added. "At times, our students, especially those coming from rural areas, are unable to get good jobs owing to poor spoken English skills," said a senior UPTU teacher, preferring anonymity. "60 per cent of students are not able to get satisfactory jobs because of their poor interaction in English language," he added. In the last academic session, over 40,000 students were enrolled in the four-year B.Tech stream of engineering, officials said. According to UPTU officials, the varsity will not provide degrees to those students who score less than 30 percent marks in English. "To introduce English as a subject, we are consulting the varsity's executive council members," said V K Singh, examination controller of the varsity. The subject is likely to be introduced from this academic session. (IANS)

Be careful while selecting a college for Higher Education

It is every student’s dream to graduate out of the best college available. Many reach their goals while some, despite working hard, aren’t able to make it. Then the dejected students look out for other colleges. They consider every other college as just another run of the mill, out of which if they pass out, nobody is going to acknowledge them. This is a false belief. There are many colleges worth the respect and honor that IITs and IIMs get; you just have to widen your horizons. After all it is the students that make the college.

While selecting a college there are a few things that you have to be careful about. Before short listing a college, you need to make sure that it has the AICTE approved or the UGC grant in case of a university. If you graduate out of a non accredited institute you will not be considered for registration as a professional and you won’t qualify for any scholarship or education loan either. Lists of colleges and their curricula, including accreditation information, are available at school and public libraries.

Other important areas to look out for are the infrastructure, the faculty, living areas (if you plan to stay in the hostel), placement records and job assistance offered by the institute. Visit the college official website and get the required information. You can then confirm it from a student presently studying there or even from alumni. You could find where the alumni are currently placed. The best way to get the right information is the students of the college. They will guide you in the right way because once bitten, twice shy.

If possible you should go for a campus tour to the college. Nowadays, many colleges offer this facility (provided you register well before hand). When you personally visit the college it becomes easier for you to take the decision.

The decision should be made after careful investigation of all opportunities available, and consultation with persons familiar with the college. Catalogues outlining courses of study and entrance requirements should be requested from the colleges you are considering attending. Join a college only when you’re sure that it’s going to be the best for you and your career. Don’t lose out on good colleges just because of the heavy tuition fees. If you search well you will definitely bag a scholarship, and if that doesn’t work you always have the option of education loans. Remember that money may be an issue but quality education is important

For Mumbai college admissions, go online !!!

Mumbai: Junior college admissions have gone online for the first time in Maharashtra, spelling relief to nearly half a million anxious students and their parents. The state government on Thursday created a special website, www.mumbaiapplication.com for the purpose, which nearly 500,000 students seeking admissions for the next academic year can use.

Initially, the online admission facility has been made available to all the 500-plus colleges affiliated to the University of Mumbai and students can apply from anywhere. Students seeking admission to first year junior college can register themselves online, select the college(s) of their choice, pay the application fees online, or through mobile phones and even make multiple applications.

However, the process of manual admissions will continue as before, the announcement added. Principal secretary, school education Sanjay Kumar said that 2008 has been declared the Year of Information Technology. "As part of that, the government wanted to take the gains of IT to the masses, since the largest single process of admissions is post-SSC, in the first year junior colleges, every year."

In Mumbai, students and parents face a harrowing time during admission season, carrying valuable documents on crowded local trains from one college to another, through monsoon rain - all within a very short time span.

The functioning of the new system was demonstrated to Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh, deputy chief minister R R Patil, school education minister Vasant Purke, higher education minister Dilip Walse-Patil and minister of state Hassan Mushrif, according to an announcement in Mumbai on Thursday. (IANS)

Two new IITs launched, permanent campus awaited!!!

New Delhi/Ahmedabad/Kanpur: India on Saturday opened two new Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) as part of plans to add eight such institutes, though both will have to wait for a permanent campus. While the IIT Rajasthan will initially function from the IIT Kanpur campus, the IIT Gandhinagar will function from the Government Engineering College in Chandkheda, near Ahmedabad. Since land is yet to be allotted for the new institute in Rajasthan, the human resource development ministry has asked IIT Kanpur to serve as its mentor institute for the time being. Addressing the first batch of IIT Rajasthan students in Kanpur, Minister of State for Higher Education D Purandeswari said, “The IITs have enjoyed the three basic freedoms of an educational institution - freedom to choose whom to teach, who will teach, and what to teach. The IITs also enjoy full cost budgetary support. The IITs remain successful so long as these amenities continue.”


The new institute is short of faculty and the recruitment process is on. Until this process is over, seven professors and five research assistants from IIT Bombay have been requisitioned for it. U A Yagnik, who teaches physics at IIT Bombay, has been appointed dean of student affairs and academic programme at the new institute. The first batch has 103 students from different parts of the country, studying in the mechanical, electrical and chemical engineering streams. In the next academic year B Tech. courses in civil and computer sciences would be included. The Gujarat government has spent Rs 7 million for upgrading the infrastructure of the engineering college to make it compatible to the IIT standards. The central government's site selection committee headed by Human Resource Development Ministry's Additional Secretary Ashok Thakur is expected to inspect the new site for the proposed permanent campus August 7. As many as eight new IITs are being set up in the country during the current academic session to impart high quality technical education. The new IITs are coming up in Bihar, Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan, Orissa, Gujarat, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. (IANS)
