Confusion reigns among CBSE students from other states
VietNamNet - Entrance exams off to good start | Entrance exams off to good start
The students were seated at 25,630 examination rooms at 989 locations to compete for admissions to 107 universities and academies.
In preparation for the important exam, over 50,000 students and parents across the country flocked to the Temple of Literature in Hanoi , the first school in Vietnam , to pray for good luck.
Naturally, exam takers came here to stroke stones carved with turtles that line the wall of the temple to gain good luck. However, the deed is now prohibited in order to keep order and preserve the temple.
The temple attracts students with 82 stone steles engraved with names of doctorate holders during the Le and Mac dynasties (1442-1779), which were placed on the lists of the World Documentary Heritage in Asia-Pacific in 2010 and the World Memory in 2011./.
India Exams: Indian college hopefuls learn the hard way: "Indian college hopefuls learn the hard way"
The arrests consist of a physician, the so-called key player in both the scams.
The CBI lodged a case against the main accused, Dr. Mahipal Singh, the owner of a private company and a few staff regarding manipulation in the OMR sheets utilized for admitting applicants in the All India Pre-Veterinary Test, which took place on May 14.
The Veterinary Council of India had given the agreement to the private company for processing results, comprising manufacturing as well as scanning of OMR sheets.
As per sources, Dr. Singh, who is a radiotherapist based in Agra, is the key player in both the scams.
Dr. Singh had recently completed his PG course from AIIMS.
Singh, in participation with the candidates, produced second copies OMR sheets of the said applicants containing the identical bar codes and interchanged the original sheets in the VCI office to get positive outcome in the said exam.
Incriminating documents were found during investigations.
Before this, CBI had also lodged a case about manipulation in the test process of PG courses in AIIMS.
"The programme has received an encouraging response from people in the first phase and now in the second phase, it would be run in schools also," Mathur said, adding that the plan is at a preliminary stage and details like the eligibility of schools have to be worked out.
Priority would, however, be given to schools having computer education, he said.
"Our internal research indicated that new users are keen to learn more about the internet, specially when it comes to surfing the internet from their mobile. The research also indicated that 55% of these new internet users begin their online journey at cyber cafes," he said.
But prior to the announcement of the results the city councellors were flooded with frantic calls and the students were seen making a bee line towards their respective schools to obtain the results.
The MSBSHSE's website too saw a sudden burst in traffic minutes before the results were supposed to be announced on 1 pm.
The MSBSHSE conducted SSC 2011 examination from March 1, 2011 to March 25, 2001.
The results have been published online on the MSBSHSE's website. Students desirous of obtaining the result online need to keep their roll number handy.
Earlier on Wednesday, mobile text messages that urged the students to check results online created confusion. The confusion was finally cleared by R.R. Bhise, Divisional Secretary, Mumbai Board.
"The messages which students are receiving are nothing but a prank," Bhise said.
For all those who haven't yet read about the investigation by the Headlines Today. Its report reveals that the leading integrated market research agency (Speak Asia) has been peddling a pack of lies. The company claims that it conducted surveys for top MNCs in India. There were reports that during a trade fair in Goa, the company's marketing team had claimed that ICICI, ING Vysya, Bata, Airtel and Nestle were its clients. However when Headlines Today contacted these companies, they refused any business links with Speak Asia. The future of the company remains in a cloud after the various allegations that have been launched against Speak Asia.
Not surprisingly, most investors in Speak Asia are mainly Indians (we are such a gullible lot, aren't we?) The company claims to be established in Singapore (and some say Malaysia and others still say Indonesia), there seems to be hardly any investors there.
Indian officials, of course, have realized that a quick-buck scheme is RED ALERT, but nothing can be done about incase the scheme falls through most authorities claim.
An MCA official told livemint.com, that the ministry could do nothing because Speak Asia was not registered in India as a company under the law. The RBI and Sebi have also said they cannot investigate the company.
An RBI spokesperson said that Speak Asia does not come under its purview because it is a marketing-cum-chit fund company and "gives users some kind of service in exchange for money".
A Sebi official said Speak Asia does not come under its regulatory purview because it has issued no securities till date. "This is a marketing company which has just sold a software through its website for a price."
Now, they also have a foolhardy plan so that no one can be pinned by authorities.
Firstly, the company operates on franchisee model so on the face of it you make no direct payments to the company "Speak Asia", instead it's routed through its franchise (bank account) that investment amount further is passed to other investors who are entitled to some per cent of the investments . Sounds complicated? Well, that's the idea!
Now, if you suddenly stop getting your "assured" returns and Indian authorities do probe in to the entire sham; you will find that the company can easily bail themselves out. Why? Well, simply because you haven't made direct payments to Speak Asia as an entity but instead to a franchise that has only been paid a certain percentage to forward it to the main distributor and who then further passes it on to someone else (yes, that whole complicated routing) . Ergo, the only person you can pin it on to is the investor himself (Surprise, that's you!!). Sadly, you also happen to be the victim of this whole scheme. Long story short, you were just made a BAKRA!!
Despite being one of the oldest streams of engineering, this programme has adapted itself to the changing technology and industry demands. It is considered the mother of all streams of engineering and is seen as one of the most desired and rewarding areas of specialize.
This field is an applied science stream that deals with the study of electricity, electronics and electromagnetism. They specialise in designing and building systems and machines that generate, transmit, measure, control and use electrical energy essential to modern life.
This discipline is grounded in sciences and mathematics and provides intense training in all essential subjects of electrical science such as electrical circuits, power systems, rotating electrical machines, electrical measuring instruments and automatic control systems.
After a B.Tech in electrical engineering, one can opt for an M.Tech in a specialised field such as electric drives and power electronics. Integrated five-year dual degree progammes are offered by institutes across the country, especially at the Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT). This dual degree saves a year and provides focused training.
Both private and public sector players hire electric engineers for their diverse projects. The job opportunity can range from power grids and thermal power stations to communication systems, robotics and artificial intelligence.
The salary for graduates in India can vary from four to nine lakh per annum, depending on the sector. Job prospects are even higher in foreign countries due to lack of trained manpower there. There is scope of research, higher studies and professional teaching in this field.
As Purkait adds, "It is important to know the underlying principles, learn "why" and "how" things work and match theory with practice in order to excel in this field. Electrical engineering is all about sincerity, punctuality and hard work. There is rarely any short cut."

With Washington crimping visas for visiting Indian workers, some companies such as Mumbai-based Aegis Communications are slowly hiring workers locally as their largest corporate customers are based in North America, the Washington Post reported Sunday.
'Many of them are call centre workers. Many are African Americans without college degrees. Some lack high school diplomas,' it noted saying, 'In this evolution, outsourcing has come home.'
Aegis, a subsidiary of India's Essar Group, an energy, telecom and metals conglomerate, is quoted as saying it's pioneering the next generation of outsourcing: putting the work close to its global customers.
Its executives call the practice 'near-sourcing', 'diverse shoring' and, sometimes, 'cross-shoring'.
Companies such as Tata Consultancy Services, Genetic and Infosys are the largest users of the H-1B visa programme and have collectively brought as many as 30,000 workers into the country in a year on H-1B or other visas.
But the companies that use the visa programmes have faced opposition from US labour unions as well as age-discrimination lawsuits from American tech workers alleging that they were passed over by the hiring practices, the Post noted.
At the same time, as high unemployment lingers and the economic recovery lags, India-based companies have seized on an opportunity to improve their image and expand their US businesses by taking over companies and hiring more US talent, it said.
Tata Consultancy Services, for example, is ramping up its North American presence in major deals with Citibank, Dow Chemical and Hilton Worldwide.
It plans to hire more than 1,000 Americans in 2011 and to base 10,000 of its 185,000 global employees in the country.
The Post cited Robert Webb, chief information officer at Hilton Worldwide, as predicting that the India-based companies 'will evolve to be more like one of the traditional consulting firms in the US' by taking on higher-end capabilities such as business planning, industry knowledge and change management.

The Supreme Court on Monday cleared the decks for the Centre and the Medical Council of India (MCI) to hold a single eligibilitycum-entrance examination for MBBS and post-graduate medical courses in the country from this academic session.A bench of justices R. V. Raveendran and A. K. Patnaik passed the order, which will also be applicable to private medical colleges in the country. The Bench noted that since the decision in this regard has already been notified, the MCI and the Centre can go ahead with holding the Common Entrance Test (CET).
Senior advocates Amrender Sharan and Somesh Jha, appearing for the MCI, drew the attention of the Bench to the fact that the Centre on August 13 last year had taken the stand that the MCI could go ahead with the implementation of the single entrance criteria and, in December, the regulations were notified.
The MCI had sought the court's permission to hold a single entrance test for graduate and post- graduate medical courses, including those for private and even minority medical colleges last October.
The Centre came out with the notification in December last year for holding the combined entrance test for MBBS and PG courses.
Though the court, in an interim order on December 18 last year, allowed the MCI to go ahead with the CET, it had decided to hear the various stakeholders as state governments, private medical colleges and those run by the minorities might have some objections.
On February 18, the Centre told the Supreme Court it was in consultation with state governments to resolve the differences on the issue.
" We make it clear that the pendency of the application shall not come in the way of the MCI notifying any regulations framed by it in accordance with law, nor come in the way of anyone challenging the validity of such regulations if and when brought into effect in accordance with law," the Bench had said.
The Bench had favoured a cautious approach on the issue, saying students were a volatile community. Monday's verdict is bound to be welcomed by them.

Chief minister Tarun Gogoi today announced introduction of the system at a function in the APSC building at Khanapara here.
Speaking on the occasion, Gogoi said the system would help maintain transparency in the examination system, adding that the commission has to select candidates who are efficient, sincere and committed. “Officials should have the capacity to anticipate the problems coming up in the future,” he said. He also said there was a shortage of Assam civil service officers, which is creating problems for the government.
Chairman of the commission, Geeta Basumatari, said the intelligent character recognition system would automate every step of the existing examination process. “The system has the capability to verify and validate each record with less human intervention, making it an error free and unbiased process. The time taken in the process from stage of application to the declaration of results would be much lesser than what was generally taken for manual processing,” Basumatari said.
She said the commission faces a lots of problems like delay in holding of examinations on time, absence of financial autonomy, and an increasing number of court cases, to name a few. “This is the first stage in the improvement of the examination system and later, we can conduct examinations online,” she added.
She said the situation had slightly improved now as the commission now had a principal controller of examinations, a law officer and a research officer.
The commission conducts combined competitive examinations and departmental examinations and recommends candidates for direct recruitment to the various state government services, advises the government on the principles to be followed to assess the suitability of officers for promotion and others. Examinations conducted by the commission faced criticism a number of times in the past, as there have been allegations of favouritism, corruption and results not being declared on time.
