Soon, college courses to be graded
Soon, college courses to be graded
Under the Rashtriya Ucchatar Shikshan Abhiyan, a national higher education mission undertaken to provide funding, all institutes and universities must acquire ratings not only for themselves but also all their programmes.
This means individual courses across colleges and universities in the country will be graded. For instance, Jai Hind College will not only need an accreditation for the college, but will also have to get its courses such as BCom, BA or BSc or even self-financed courses like BCom in banking and insurance or BMS graded.
Besides students, the move will help potential employers in selecting the best pass-outs from every college.
The National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) has been grading colleges and universities across the country since its inception in 1994. But hampered by a staff crunch and facing the ever-changing education scenario, the quality assurance body feels it is not up to the mammoth task of accrediting individual courses along with institutes/universities.
NAAC director A N Rai and deputy adviser Jagannath Patil have suggested a multi-layered framework to bring about quality assurance in institutes of higher education. "A fragmented approach has been taken at the central and state levels. There needs to be a coordinated approach for such a massive project," said Patil, also the president of the Asia Pacific Quality Network.
They recommend that NAAC acts as a nodal agency to accredit universities across the country. "State accrediting agencies can then accredit colleges. Individual programmes can be accredited by subject councils/associations such as sociological society, Indian Commerce Association, etc. NAAC can mentor these quality assurance bodies," said Patil. "These subject councils have experts from industry and academics and, therefore, can evaluate programmes with some training from NAAC."
T A Shiware, from the Indian Commerce Association, said the agency is in talks with them. Being a national body, it can handle the task, he felt.
An HRD official said the ministry has written to some of the councils (like National Council for Teacher Education) asking them to take up evaluation of individual courses (in this case, B Ed and M Ed). The possibility of bringing in third party agencies for the rating has not been dismissed.
Among the states, Kerala has set up the State Higher Education Council, which can function as a state accreditation body. A council to monitor higher education in the state is mandatory under RUSA. Maharashtra is yet to take any concrete measures to set up the higher education council.
Massive layoffs at IBM Bangalore, Laptops confiscated and employees asked to vacate premises immediately
Massive layoffs at IBM Bangalore, Laptops confiscated and employees asked to vacate premises immediately
"People broke down after seeing the inhuman treatment. Laptops along with the cases were confiscated, so several employees were seen crying and exiting building carrying and balancing their personal belongings with their two hands."
"IBM STG INDIA is doing RA and it is very deep and numbers are huge."
"Just heard from a colleague in Bangalore that job cuts there have begun. Workers asked to leave on the spot. He claims 6 out of 23 people in his department."
IBM's latest $1 billion "rebalancing," as described by its CFO last month, is underway. And the first country hit is India, based on reports from Blue Blue workers there on Tuesday. The so-called "Resource Action" struck in the country where IBM reportedly employs its greatest number of workers.
One employee describes the layoff process as a "slaughter."
Workers were given little notice. Reads one note just sent to the union seeking to represent IBM workers:
"Job cuts in India STG. .Announced today including managers. Asked to return laptops with in 2 hrs and leave premises."
Other notes as cited below were much more detailed. All reflect sudden notices - and quick departures, with many reportedly being quite emotional.
One analyst has estimated that IBM will cut 13,000 of its more than 434,000 workers, based on the amount of money set aside for the rebalancing IBM disclosed after another quarter of disappointing earnings. A similar action in 2013 led to some 3,500 job cuts in North America alone, with several hundred hitting IBM's North Carolina work force.
Lee Conrad, head of union efforts to unionize IBMers, has received emails from workers as well as a reporter in India. The "RA" is expected to hit IBMers in North America as early as Feb. 19, based on internal speculation.
"Slaughter House"
"STG Bangalore literally turned into a slaughter house today.
"Several employees were called to a meeting and RA'd.
"Their TPs were confiscated and they were asked to vacate premises immediately.
"Severance package was on an average 3 months basic component of salary, which is like 6 weeks full pay.
"RA per department as on today
- SRDC 40%
- Processors 15%
- SRAM 80%
- SSE Just began, final numbers not available
"RAs expected to last till friday.
"The fear is that HCM might be wiped off totally in a day or two. EDA and methodology numbers not yet available"
"People broke down after seeing the inhuman treatment.
"Laptops along with the cases were confiscated, so several employees were seen crying and exiting building carrying and balancing their personal belongings
with their two hands"
Two posts at the Alliance website also referenced layoffs at Bangalore, which is known as India's "Silicon Valley."
IBM employs more than 100,000 people across India, according to India media reports. IBM no longer discloses employee numbers by location.
"RAs Started in Bangalore"
"IBM today had a massive layoff in STG bangalore more than 40% staff was let go off in a single day. Be it PBC 1 or 2 doesnot matter you are just asked to leave IBM premises by immediate effect. I fail to understand how joB cut will help management to achieve 20 EPS. The upper executives lack vision and clarity to restructure business process. Good bye to ibm hopefully will be in better place than ibm."
