Edunation - it's all about education

Rajiv Gandhi Education City to have an IIT-D campus!

To be set up by the Government of Haryana, Sonepat's Rajiv Gandhi Education City – a hub of institutes of higher education and research – will now have an Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi (IIT-D) campus too. The IIT-D campus will be an addition to other extended campuses of institutes of higher education across various fields like management, architecture, engineering, law, telecom, medical, insurance and biotechnology. The institutes to be set up at the city will include the following:

5. National Law University
5. Bharti Vidyapeeth University
5. FORE School of Management
5. Manav Rachna International University
6. Asian Education Society
5. Skyline Business School
5. Ashoka University
5. NC College of Engineering and Research
5. Hindu School of Architecture
5. RIMT Technical Campus
5. Balwant Rai Institute of Technology and Research
5. SRM University

Besides an extended campus, IIT-D has plans to set up a science and technology park, a faculty development centre and high performance computing centre at the city.

Subsequently, the National Institute of Food Technology Entrepreneurship and Management (NIFTEM) has already been set up in the neighbouring Kundli village while the nearby Murthal village is home to the Deenbandhu Chhotu Ram University of Science and Technology.

Chicago’s Dean says to students not to undervalue there MBA Degree!!

“THE first thing I tell my students,” says Sunil Kumar, the dean of Chicago’s Booth School of Business, “is not to undervalue their degree.” That might seem unnecessary advice to give to those who, in some people’s perception at least, see an MBA as the first step towards becoming a master of the universe. But Mr Kumar is talking about the scramble for internships on MBA programmes. Competition is now so fierce that some students begin the hunt for their summer job the day they set foot on campus. He worries that students forget to savour the academic experience of the degree. While it is true that a successful internship is the single most important route to a post-MBA job, he says, they are not the be-all and end-all of the first year on an MBA programme. Rather, internships are just a “low cost experiment” for firms and students to check each other out. If it doesn’t work out it is not the end of the world. “The truth is,” he says, “that a lot of people don’t stay in their first job very long but go on to have great careers.”

It is a similar story with entrepreneurs. Even with more of Chicago’s MBAs taking the start-up route, Mr Kumar is keen to stress the value of entrepreneurship as academic subject. “More students take the course in entrepreneurship than become entrepreneurs,” he says. “It provides an academic capstone experience. The basic conceit of being an entrepreneur—having an idea and moving that idea forward—is useful whether you work for yourself or within a company.”

Mr Kumar was recruited from Stanford, where he was in charge of the MBA programme, three years ago. Even for a school with such an illustrious past, Chicago’s stock has rarely been higher. Its full-time MBA is ranked the world’s best by The Economist; it also topsBloomberg Businessweek’s ranking of US programmes. Last year it accepted 575 students on to its full time programme. By all objective measures—whether job placements or student quality—the programme is doing better than ever, says Mr Kumar.

Chicago has four campuses: two in Illinois, one in London and another in Singapore. Having students on three continents means that Chicago keeps a keen eye on the way that technology is changing teaching. He is certain that new technology will transform business education. But he doesn’t believe that universities are yet sure of the best way to use it. Technology, he says, will never be a substitute for a great lecturer teaching face to face. But given that not all of Chicago’s best faculty can jump on a plane and teach in Singapore or London, remote teaching is the next best thing. So the school has built a studio for its professors on its main campus that is connected to lecture halls in London and Singapore.

Perhaps the most interesting development in technology is its use outside the classroom, however. Chicago studied the algorithms used on dating websites such as match.com, to come up with a way in which its 3,000 MBA students, spread over four campuses, could learn of other students with similar entrepreneurial ideas. And it is not just about hooking up students within the business school. The school is also keen on introducing potential entrepreneurs to students from other university departments. That way, engineers and scientists with a great invention but little business savvy have the best chance of bringing their ideas to market. Chicago runs a competition called the New Venture Challenge, which has raised $300m for start-ups. Two years ago the winner was a medical device, invented in Chicago’s medical school and commercialised by its business students.

The rise in massive open online courses, or MOOCs, is another technology with the power to transform the industry, says Mr Kumar. But, he thinks it is unlikely to threaten the elite schools. Much of Chicago’s value lies in being able to bring together the brightest students to share their experiences with one another. This is not something that a MOOC can offer. Neither will they be able to foster the academic research that drives ideas forward.

The best programmes can also foster strong links with companies, helping students land the plum jobs. Indeed many firms, says Mr Kumar, are set up to take advantage of the two year model by using mid-programme internships as part of the selection process. That is value indeed.

Cultural revolution!!

China’s Shanxi province, south-west of Beijing, 
represents the seamy underbelly of modern Chinese prosperity: coal, corruption, pollution and deadly mine collapses. But it has a rich and ancient history, and in 2013, at great expense, several museums under construction and designed by some of the world’s most famous architects, including Sir Norman Foster, will attempt to show that off.

The Foster-designed Datong Art Museum, centrepiece of the city of Datong’s $500m cultural development project, is an exemplar of a museum-building boom in China that, like most things China does, dwarfs any other on the planet. The country averaged a new museum opening each day in 2011 to bring China’s total number of museums to 3,415, far ahead of the pace needed to reach a goal of 3,500 museums by 2015 as prescribed in the national five-year plan (yes, communist central planning extends even to museums).
 
Careerism and vanity have helped drive this boom. Civic improvements figure in evaluations of local officials, says Pan Shouyong, a professor of anthropology and museum studies at Minzu University of China. Some of the extravagances are of dubious civic value. The Yellow River Arts Centre in Yinchuan, the capital of one of China’s poorest provinces, Ningxia, is to cost $280m. Scheduled for construction in 2013, it will be part of a large real-estate development; as Mr Pan suggests, museums can raise nearby property values.

But some are very good (and surprising) indeed. In his living room in Shanghai, Yang Shaorong displays his collection of thousands of pairs of three-inch shoes for women with bound feet. Miriam Clifford, a co-author of “China: Museums”, an indispensable guide, urges that adventurers seek out the Funerary Horses Museum of the Eastern Zhou, in a rural village in Shandong province, where some 600 horses were sacrificed (probably drugged and buried alive) to join a Qi dynasty king in the afterlife.
 
For political reasons museums do a ghastly job of more recent history. The National Museum of China, next to Tiananmen Square in Beijing, won’t educate visitors about the worst depredations of Mao’s rule, nor about the tanks that rolled into the square in 1989.
