Top Management colleges in Dehradun

Dehradun is the capital city of the condition of Uttarakhand in the northern part of India. Found in the Garhwal area, it is 236 km north of India’s capital New Delhi and is one of the “Counter Magnets” of the National Capital Region (NCR) being created as an option middle of development to help facilitate the migration and population blast in the Delhi metropolitan range. Dehradun is in the Doon Valley on the foothills of the Himalayas settled between two of India’s mightiest rivers — the Ganges on the east and the Yamuna on the west. The city is renowned for its beautiful scene and marginally milder atmosphere and provides a gateway to the surrounding region. It is generally well connected and in closeness to popular Himalayan tourist destinations, for example, Mussoorie, Nainital and Auli and the Hindu holy cities of Haridwar and Rishikesh alongside the Himalayan pilgrimage circuit of Char Dham.

Dehradun is famous for its natural resources, distributed administrations and especially for its prestigious educational institutions. It is one of the highest rain receiving ranges of North India. It has some of India’s best schools and preparing institutions of national importance, for example, the Indian Military Academy. It is home to national establishments, such as, the Ordnance Factory Dehradun and Opto Electronics Factory of the Ordnance Factories Board and the Defense Electronics Application Laboratory and Instruments Research and Development Establishment of the Defense Research and Development Organization which fabricates items for the Indian Armed Forces. Different institutions foundations incorporate the Indian Institute of Petroleum, Oil and Natural Gas Corporation, University of Petroleum and Energy Studies, Survey of India, Wadia Institute Of Himalayan Geology, Indian Institute of Remote Sensing, Wildlife Institute of India and the Forest Research Institute.

For long, Dehradun was viewed as a city of private schools. The most celebrated Doon School did add to that distinction. The circumstances has changed radically. Uttarakhand was one of the initial couple of states to allow private colleges in the nation. This move brought about the foundation of ICFAI University and Graphic Era University, among others. The University of Petroleum and Energy Studies, Dehradun is an another specialized institutions which offers MBA programs in Oil and Gas, aviation and most other crucial infrastructure sectors. Despite the fact that IIT Roorkee has a well established Management departement; with the approach of Technical University, various associated B-Schools have come up in the city and its surroundings. Its closeness to NCR is an added interest.

Career in Supply Chain Management

 

  Supply Chain Management (SCM) is the management of the relationship between the supplier’s supplier and the customer’s customer through the supply chain participants (Distributor/Wholesaler and Retailer) between them, mainly using information flow and logistics activities to gain competitive advantage and customer satisfaction.

A supply chain, as opposed to supply chain management, is a set of organizations directly linked by one or more upstream and downstream flows of products, services, finances, or information from a source to a customer. Supply chain management is the management of such a chain.

Concept of Supply Chain Management

The concept of Supply Chain Management is based on two core ideas. The first is that practically every product that reaches an end user represents the cumulative effort of multiple organizations. These organizations are referred to collectively as the supply chain.

The second idea is that while supply chains have existed for a long time, most organizations have only paid attention to what was happening within their “four walls.” Few businesses understood, much less managed, the entire chain of activities that ultimately delivered products to the final customer. The result was disjointed and often ineffective supply chains.

Main functions of Supply Chain Management are as follows:

a) Inventory Management

b) Distribution Management

c) Channel Management

d) Payment Management

e) Financial Management

f) Supplier Management

g) Transportation Management

h) Customer Service Management

Competition is the key to success

Every now and then the points and destinations of human movement change. Some time ago our adolescents were caring for the family calling. Children of agriculturists used to be agriculturists and children of anglers proceeded as just anglers. Presently things are distinctive. According to the needs of time and circumstance the whole points and destinations before us have changed. Globalization, computerization and commercialization and other numerous variables have had their impact.

The situation is the field of education has changed completely. Computerization has changed the education system, job and globalization has prompted tremendous competition in the field. Competition and exposure make a measurable effect to human action and assume a significant part in one’s identity improvement.

Many organizations are working on ”Awareness” module. They create awareness among students and parents about handling competitive examinations effectively & efficiently. As per study, the percentage of youth from North Karnataka in the section of public services is very low; the percentage of youth from Himachal Pradesh state in professional courses is very less. This is because of lack of awareness, knowledge and not careful about competitive exams. If the students develop the spirit of competitiveness, proper awareness and set a high goal and clear vision for their career, they can do very good in competition for professional courses and civil services employment after 12th & graduation.

To get admission in degree level or higher studies student should focus on competitive examinations and develop their skills accordingly. With proper concentration, determination, patience, awareness, well preparation and proper study student can do well in competitive examination. All these factors will definitely help in their routine studies. Students can build up self-confidence, self-motivate, mental ability and competitive spirit in their time-to-time routine activities.

Weekend courses

To spread this “Awareness” module some organization has started a basic course which will be held only during weekends. All undergraduate students can join this “Awareness” module and learn How to prepare effectively for Preliminary & Main examinations, Management (CAT, MAT, XAT, C-MAT and GMAT) Exams, Engineering (JEE Prelims & Main) exams.

The UPSC competitive examinations are divided into General Studies, CSAT and Optional subjects. General Studies will cover subjects like History, Geography, Political Science, Economics, Sociology and Science and Technology as per NCERT/ICSE syllabus.

The Civil services Aptitude Test (CSAT) paper consists of comprehension, basic numeracy, mental ability, logical reasoning and analytical ability.

Common Admission Test (CAT) exam are divided into two sections. The first section is Quantitative Ability & Data Interpretation and the second section is Verbal Ability & Logical Reasoning.

Joint Entrance Exam (JEE) competitive exam is an all India common entrance examination which is conducted for admission in various engineering courses. This exam is being conducted into two parts, JEE-Main and JEE- Advanced.

Along with these subjects special guidance will be given in notes making techniques, memory techniques, presentation skills, communication skills, analysis of current events, mind mapping techniques, group learning techniques, group discussion techniques and examination techniques.

Organizations have group of counselors who are specially trained for this purpose in Delhi, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Chennai etc. Students will be given advanced training for all subjects if they prefer.

Need to re-evaluation in DU

The system of reevaluation is going to be scrapped in University of Delhi from the next academic year, that is, 2013. However, after scrapping of the reevaluation system, the system of ‘re-checking’ will be initiated. While in the reevaluation system, the answer sheet of the student is reevaluated again, in the re-checking system, the examiner will only re-total the marks of the student.

A DU official says, “If the university ‘scraps’ the re-evaluation system, it is likely to create other alternatives for the benefit of students. To start with, we will get every answer script corrected by at least two examiners for an error-free result.”

However, according to SK Kaushik, faculty of maths at Kirori Mal College, “The re-evaluation system is unique and should be continued. Being a part of the examination checking team, I know that teachers who check papers can make a mistake. If the re-evaluation system is scrapped, students will suffer and there can be no equal alternative.”

“The re-evaluation system should be continued because it is important for students. DU can cut its expenses in other ways by streamlining the whole re-evaluation system. Instead of sending the copies to examiners at various centres, for example, DU should request teachers to convene at the examination branch and get the copies re-evaluated there. In addition to saving time, the additional cost for sending copies to so many examiners will also be saved in this way,” says Pankaj Garg, faculty of maths in Rajdhani College.

While considering the fact that every year around 45 lakh students apply for reevaluation, the president of Delhi University Students Union (DUSU), Ajay Chikara, says, “Scrapping of the system will be disadvantageous for students.”

Technology and Education in India

The era of 21st century is often regarded as an era of technology. Technology, today, plays a very important role in our life. It is seen as a basis of growth of an economy. An economy which is poor in technology can never grow in today’s scenario. This is because technology makes our work much easier and less time consuming. The impact of technology can be felt in every possible field and aspect of our life and one such field is education.

The education system of India has undergone a radical change over the past decade. This change has occurred not only through the recruitment of well qualified teachers, an improved curriculum and better school campuses, but also through the introduction of technology in education. The knowledge of computers that the students get at the school level proves to be quite beneficial for them at a later stage even if they do not select computers as their subject. Going a step ahead in bringing technology to the classrooms, these days schools have even started using i-pads in order to make the delivery of education more effective. However, many more steps should be taken in order to bring technology to the classrooms.

Communication is a key of grabbing a child’s attention. Thus, efforts should be made to introduce features like the interactive whiteboard or use 2D and 3D demonstrations, videos and animations in place of textbooks. Due to this, children will be, certainly, more interested to learn. Also, internet must be made compulsory for the students of schools and colleges in India as this is the only medium which allows learning of anything at any place and during any time of the day.

In an age of distance education, gone is the time when a teacher waited for his student to bring back homework the next day. Rather, all homework, assignments, projects and class notes can be shared between the teacher and the student during any time of the day if both parties are equipped with an internet connection. Moreover, technology not only helps in better communication but also helps to learn hands-on which eventually makes the education more interesting and easy-to-grasp.

However, one of the drawbacks of Indian Education System is that government has still not played a major role in bringing technology to the schools and higher education institutes. Since most of the families in India cannot afford a private school, the children of such families usually find it difficult to secure a job as their knowledge is quite limited about the technological developments.

In the conclusion, education helps in differentiating one country from another. It is education again that makes a citizen global. In a world where borders are breaking down, it is education which will help to classify the best from the worst; it is thus time for India to introduce a more technologically equipped education sector in the future.

Career options with Physics

As far as the career options are concerned, they are many.

Is radio an effective means of distance education?

In today’s time, if we see the education scenario of remote areas of India, we find that there are still many villages in India which do not have even a school. Though the government tries to fetch its educational plan to these areas, it will take time. In such a scenario, distance education is the major source of education for those people who do not have access even to a proper school.

Distance education, these days happen via many technological ways like web conferencing, video conferencing, educational television, instructional television, message board forums, e-mail, video, audio recordings, print materials, voicemail, fax, etc. But in this era of technology, it is one of the oldest forms of technology, radio which has proved itself as the most effective means of distance education.

Recently, when Deutsche Welle (DW), Germany‘s International broadcaster and a leading institution of media education and training in Europe visited the Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) campus for expanding its existing collaboration in new areas, experts from both the sides stated that radio is an effective low-cost means of distance education.

The statement made by the experts here is quite true as radio is the only means which can reach anywhere anytime without costing much. Moreover, universities like IGNOU which are involved in providing distance education with so much dedication make the process a lot easier.

In the course of discussion with the director-general of DW, Mr. Erik Bettermann, the vice-chancellor of IGNOU, Prof. M Aslam, elaborated on the role and place of IGNOU in the higher learning and said, “IGNOU’s mandate is to ‘reach the unreached’. In this mission, the university has made significant contribution in the distance learning across the world.”

The most effective outcome of the collaboration between DW and IGNOU came out as DW agreed to contribute in providing video and audio educational programmes for Gyan Darshan and Gyan Vani. Gyan Darshan and Gyan Vani are the educational TV and radio channels run by IGNOU.

In the conclusion, distance education pays a very important role in providing knowledge to those sections of society which do not have an access to a proper school even in this 21st century. Out of many modes of distance education radio is certainly the best mode of distance education as it is easily reachable and highly cost effective.

Challenges faced by Indian education System

Education in India lies in the hands of both the union government and the state government with most universities managed by them. India has made progress concerning primary education attendance rates and expanding literacy to approximately two thirds with the population. Much in the progress primarily in higher education, scientific research has long been credited to various public institutions. The private education market in India is merely 5% whilst with regards to its value, it is believed to be worth of $40 billion in 2008 and can boost to $68 billion by 2012.
Nevertheless, India carries major challenges to deal with in the field of education. Irrespective of increased investment in schooling, 25% of its population is still illiterate; only 15% of Indian students reach high school, and just 7% graduate. Also, present day education generates only cash generating devices. The ethical values are getting eroded. Social fabric is getting weakened. Students are getting imparting theoretical awareness centered education and learning.
Since the time of Independence, successive Indian governments have had to deal with several major challenges with regard to education that has normally formed a crucial part of its development agenda. The crucial key challenges are:
Increasing accessibility at all levels of education: As talked about it above, one of the     crucial issues of Indian Education System is the access of education at all levels of education. At this time also, there are plenty of villages from the interiors of India which do not have a school and those which have demand many kilometers of strolling through from the students.
Improving quality at all levels of education: Improvement of quality of education is without doubt one of the major challenges confronted by Indian Education System currently, notably, in higher education. It has been reported that the system mostly creates robots who possess an amazing capacity for storing facts and churning them out with the press of the correct button. Qualities like impartial pondering, problem-solving potential, initiative, leadership techniques and social competence fall by the wayside as getting substantial grades become their only target.
Increasing funding, especially with regard to higher education and learning: To be able to improve the quality of education, what the authorities require is the funds. Funds are needed to improve the infrastructure, to increased more and highly capable faculty, etc. Visualizing this want, the government has shifted its emphasis over the education sector in its next five year plan.
Improving literacy rates: Enhancing the literacy rates is once again one of main difficulties for the government. The challenge turns to be more complicated for the authorities as the people themselves are not willing to give education to their little ones due to their backwardness.
Seeing these critical problems of Education System of India, it is extremely vital for the government to start acting on these problems immediately to make India’s Education System world-class like of other western nations. Presently, though Indian institutes of management and technology are world-class, there are the primary and secondary schools, significantly in rural regions that have to be given more significance.

Resolving the homework myth

Homework! This is a word which kids avoid the most. However, this word has started being a topic of discussion among adults. Whenever you ask a student who does not like doing homework, he/she will call it “homework myth”.

Homework myth actually refers to the idea that homework does not produce a noticeable increase in a student’s academic success. It is suggested that many teachers give hours of work a night and that it is not beneficial to students because they either cannot do it, choose not to do it, copy someone else’s paper, or spend all night doing it just to forget it the next day. For children and parents, homework can sometimes seem like a burden that can cause frustration and tears. It may also take time away from families having fun together.

Now, resolving the myth of homework, it has been argued that all these arguments against homework are really a myth and homework is actually very important for a student’s overall development. It has been argued that first of all, homework allows students the chance to practice what they have learned during the school day. Overall, homework does appear to result in higher levels of achievement for older students (at the secondary level). Also, we should not forget that practice makes a man perfect.

According to a teacher of St. Peters school, “As educators, we have a big problem with the argument that when we give homework it is useless because students will cheat or just not do it. Our responsibility as teachers is to do everything that we know how to do in order to give students the tools they need to succeed. Within limit, homework is critical to this process.”

It has also been argued that though it’s not good to give students more work when they can devote time in sports or extra-curricular activities, yet there is a responsibility that comes from making a choice to do an assignment at home to make the student more knowledgeable or confident about a subject. Moreover, if everything has a regular timetable whether its homework or sports or anything else, there will be no problem at all and the child’s growth will be complete. It’s just that parents have to devote some time for children.

At last, The Homework Myth – that it is of no use to students is only true when the homework is not being approached correctly. Otherwise, if the homework is being approached correctly, it’s not only useful but important for a student’s growth.
