उत्तर प्रदेश में प्राविधिक शिक्षा परिषद की ओर से संचालित पॉलीटेक्निक कॉलेजों की इस बार प्रवेश के दौरान मौज रहेगी।

संयुक्त प्रवेश परीक्षा परिषद की ओर से सरकारी एवं निजी पॉलीटेक्निक कॉलेजों में प्रवेश के लिए काउंसिलिंग की तिथि यूपीटीयू की ओर से संचालित इंजीनियरिंग कॉलेजों की काउंसिलिंग से पहले रखी गई है।

इससे तय है कि पॉलीटेक्निक में प्रवेश पर छात्रों का अधिक जोर होगा। काउंसिलिंग पांच जुलाई से शुरू हो रही है।

कारपोरेट एवं सरकारी क्षेत्र दोनों में इस समय बीटेक की अपेक्षा पॉलीटेक्निक होल्डर्स की डिमांड अधिक है। आईआईटी और एनआईटी में प्रवेश की तिथि तय नहीं होने का असर यूपीटीयू से जुड़े कॉलेजों पर भी पड़ा है और यहां भी काउंसलिंग की तिथि तय नहीं हो पा रही है।

प्रवेश कम होने की समस्या से पहले से ही परेशान इंजीनियरिंग कॉलेजों के प्रबंधन ने भी काउंसिलिंग की तिथि घोषित करने में देरी पर आपत्ति जताई है। काउंसलर डॉ. आरसी मिश्र का कहना है कि पॉलीटेक्निक एवं बीटेक की प्रवेश परीक्षा में एक ही वर्ग के छात्रों के शामिल होने से छात्रों का रुझान पॉलीटेक्निक हो सकता है।

निजी बीटेक कॉलेजों की प्रवेश समिति से जुड़े एक शिक्षक का कहना है कि इस बार तो कई नए कॉलेजों को� प्रवेशार्थी नहीं मिलेंगे। उनका कहना है कि अब सरकारी पॉलीटेक्निक कॉलेजों में अच्छी ब्रांच में प्रवेश मिलने के बाद छात्र एवं अभिभावक बीटेक में प्रवेश पर जोर नहीं देंगे।

पॉलीटेक्निक प्रवेश के लिए काउंसलिंग कार्यक्रम

- पांच से 10 जुलाई- रोल नंबर 01 से 40000 के परीक्षार्थियों का रजिस्ट्रेशन एवं काउंसिलिंग शुल्क
- सात से 12 जुलाई तक रिपोर्ट करने वाले छात्रों के प्रमाण पत्रों की जांच
- आठ से 14 जुलाई के बीच च्वाइस लाकिंग शाम पांच बजे तक
- 15 जुलाई को पहले चरण की काउंसिलिंग के बाद सीट एलाटमेंट की घोषणा
- 15 से 16 जुलाई के बीच एलाटमेंट लेटर जारी करने के साथ फीस जमा
- 12 से 25 जुलाई के बीच फेज दो की काउंसिलिंग
- इलाहाबाद में राजकीय महिला पॉलीटेक्निक एवं नादर्न रीजनल प्रिंटिंग टेक्नालॉजी में काउंसिलिंग होगी

INC times Report, The fourth edition features a new low-cost Aakash tablet is exposed. This calling feature in new features as well as high-speed 4G services will be provided.

Specification issued by the government stated that the calling will be made with the help of external dongle.

With the help of 2G or 3G or 4G dongle will work with the data.

AAKASH ambitious project, Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal, Minister of Human Resource Development was launched during the stay.

The first version of Aakash tablet was launched on October 5, 2011. Aakash tablet has been upgraded since then.
NEW DELHI Despite setbacks, Indian government is not giving up on its dream of a low-cost tablet for school and college students. The ministry of human resource development has now formally announced that it is working on Aakash 4.

In a public note posted on the website of the department of electronics and information technology, the government said, "A sub-committee comprising of technical experts has prepared the proposed vendor neutral Technical Specifications of Aakash IV. These specifications have been developed with a view to have a device at a low cost."

Unlike the original Aakash and Aakash 2, which were manufactured by Datawind, for Aakash 4 government has not yet finalized who would make the tablets. Instead, it wants to finalize the specifications of the tablet. There are reports that Aakash 4 could be manufactured by multiple hardware vendors instead of one company.

According to the proposed specifications, Aakash 4 will have a 7-inch screen with a minimum resolution of 480 x 800 pixels. To make sure that the screen has decent touch sensitivity, government wants manufacturers to use panels with at least 5 touch points. "LCD brightness should be a minimum of 290 cd/m2, and its contrast ratio should be a minimum of 500," states the note.

The government says that the processor that will power Aakash 4 should meet some minimum specifications. It says that the chip should be able to score at least 1469 points in Antutu, a popular Android benchmarking app. It also wants the tablet to handle playback of 720P videos with ease.

For memory, the government note specifies that Aakash 4 will have a minimum of 1GB DDR3 RAM. The tablet is likely to come with at least 4GB internal storage and support for up to a 32GB micro SD card. The government also says that it wants Aakash 4 to have support for external USB storage devices, keyboard, mouse, popular 3G/4G data dongles, USB to ethernet adapters and USB printers.

On paper, the minimum hardware specifications for Aakash seem to be on the lower side. But currently these are proposed specifications and the final hardware might be different. As far as software is concerned, government wants the tablet to run at least Android Jelly Bean.

Government says "all interested stakeholders may examine the proposed specifications and provide their comments especially from the point of vendor neutrality, usability and functionality." The comments and suggestions can be sent to the office of Rajat Moona, who is director general of C-DAC headquartered in the Pune University campus.

Announced with much fanfare, the Aakash project has proved to be controversial so far. Most of the original Aakash tablets, supplied to Datawind to Rajasthan IIT, were found to be defective and the institute rejected the units. Later, Datawind accused the institute of sabotaging the project.

"IIT Rajasthan put up roadblocks in front of us. It jeopardized the whole project. I can say the dirty tricks by the institute put us around six months behind on the project... they did it because they were favouring other firms... Even now the institute is trying to sabotage the project," Datawind's CEO Suneet Singh Tuli told TOI last year.

The original Aakash tablets were plagued by poor screen and very poor performance. Aakash 2 was slightly better but was not good enough for daily use in schools and colleges.

PranabEver the party loyalist, former Finance Minister and UPA presidential candidate Pranab Mukherjee expressed no qualms on missing out on becoming Prime Minister.
Commending Manmohan Singh as the best man for the job, Pranab said "I don't regret not being the Prime Minister. Manmohan Singh is worthy of being PM. He will be the second man who'll complete two terms."
In an interview to a TV channel, Pranab reiterated that despite being a strong contender for the Rashtrapati Bhavan in the past, he did not concern himself with the question.
In fact the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance's (UPA) presidential nominee said, "I feel honoured and humbled that the UPA leadership has nominated me for the President's post. I am happy to do what my party wanted me to do. I don't regret that I did not become the Prime Minister."
The Congress old-timer, who was virtually sidelined during the Rajiv Gandhi era, has earned his stripes as the UPA government's biggest crisis manager and consensus builder.
Pranab, however, rejected his competitor PA Sangma's challenge to a debate. Pranab said, "I love Sangma, but where is the question of a debate?"
"There is no issue to be debated upon. Debate takes place on issues raised by political parties during general elections," he added.
Pranab also rejected Sangma's conscience votes claim saying, "Where is the question of conscience? When a partyman accepts his party's decision, is it against his conscience?"
As the numbers add up in his favour ahead of the presidential elections, Pranab expressed hope that Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee would support  his candidature, "I hope she takes a decision at an appropriate time and backs me."
And the man used to being in the hot seat has already charted out his plans after retiring from politics. "After retiring from politics, I wanted to read books. (The) Library would have been my destination."


Special screening of 'Maximum'


Star-Cast: Sonu Sood, Naseeruddin Shah, Neha Dhupia, Vinay Pathak, Arya Babbar, Swanand Kirkire, Anjana Sukhani, Amit Sadh, Mohan Agashe, Rajendra Gupta
Director: Kabeer Kaushik
Music Director: Amjad Nadeem
Kabeer Kaushik directorial 'Maximum' starring Sonu Sood, Naseeruddin Shah, Neha Dhupia has hit the Indian cinema with its release nationwide today. With this you will gain watch the favorite plot of Bollywood based on fake encounters, crime, bhaigiri, politics, land deals and so on.
The story of Maximum takes you back to the year 2003 in Mumbai where the local police had satrted a war against the dominating underworld. The command has been given in the hands of two potential and brave police officers Pratap Pandit (Sonu Sood) and Arun Inaamdar (Naseeruddin Shah) to eradicate crime from the city. The story revolves around these two police officers, their way of handling the task and their struggle for 'maximum' power. Both the officers show contradictory characters with Pandit (Sonu Sood) being ambitious and Inaamdar (Naseeruddind) conniving and silent. Both the officers engage in their self-defeating turf war which leads to a dramatic conflict between the both. The climax of the movie is a bit unpredictable. Pandit's wife (Neha Dhupa) is killed by his rivals in the climax.
The film does not prove worth due to lack of a proper plot and storyline that fails to keep the interest of the audiences going. Talking about the performances, Naseeruddin Shah as an encounter specialist is as usual the element of the movie justifying his character to the best while Sonu Sood has also made his appearance noted with less but intense dialogue delivery and too many bullets speaking for him. Neha Dhupia, who is playing Pandit's wife in the movie, looks pretty in the traditional outfits as a housewife. Vinay Pathak plays Tiwari, an Uttar-Bharatiya neta, looks has justified his role as a politician. Amit Sadh as a reporter is quite impressive in his role.

The music of Maximum has been given by Amjad-Nadeem and the lyrics by Shabbir Ahmed. 'Aa ante Amalapuram', an item number in the movie is quite popular these days.
Overall Maximum is an ordinary movie which lacks a mass appeal due to its weak script.

Warne lashes out at ECB on KP's exit  -INDIA TODAY

Shane Warne

Australia great Shane Warne has said the "ego" of the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) forced Kevin Pietersen's retirement from all limited overs internationals. Pietersen wanted to give up 50-over one-day internationals (ODIs) while still playing Twenty20 internationals.
However, the ECB said the South Africa-born shotmaker, who remains a Test match cricketer, could only play in both shortened formats or none at all.
As a result Pietersen, the Man-of-the-Tournament when England won the World Cup Twenty20 in the Caribbean two years ago, is set to miss the defence of their title in Sri Lanka this September. He will also be absent from the upcoming one-day series against Australia and Warne, who captained Pietersen at county side Hampshire, said England had damaged themselves.
"Any team that hasn't got Kevin Pietersen is significantly weaker," Warne told the Independent. "He's a match-winner so that's a big loss. It staggers me and I'm very surprised that the ECB didn't try and negotiate that better, drop their egos and say, okay we understand this, we want to keep our best players playing all the time."
He added: "I think it's just a bit too much ego for my liking from the ECB. Who wouldn't want Pietersen in your side? He's a match-winner and he puts bums on seats because people love watching him play. His attitude rubs off on the rest of the players. So to me it's a huge loss. More people might give up one-day cricket or they might give up Twenty20," added the legendary legspinner, who contrasted Pietersen's situation with that of Michael Clarke, the Australia captain. "Michael Clarke's given up Twenty20 in Australia because he can't play all three forms at that level, but you can't imagine Australia dropping him and saying don't worry about one-day cricket, just stick to Tests."
England play Australia in the first of five one-day internationals at Lord's on Friday. Without Pietersen, an opener in limited overs cricket, England saw his spot filled by Ian Bell, who made a hundred and a fifty, and Alex Hales, who struck 99, in ODI and Twenty20 wins respectively over the West Indies this month.

IIT-Delhi alumni association reject compromise agreement

NEW DELHI: The alumni association of IIT-Delhi on Thursday "rejected" the compromise agreement reached by IIT directors on Wednesday on holding the common exams saying the decision is against the interest of students.

It said the 20 percentile criteria which was agreed upon on Wednesday at the IIT council meet to end the logjam will make it difficult for students, especially from rural areas where school education is in shambles to get admitted to IITs.

"The 20 percentile criteria for school boards stands rejected because such patch-work solutions taken in haste to meet deadlines of 2013 by HRD ministry are contrary to the objectives set out by it and prejudicial to the interests of students," president of IIT Delhi Alumni Association Somnath Bharti said.

As per the agreement reached on Wednesday, admission to the IITs from 2013 would be based only on rank achieved in the advance test subject to the condition that selected candidates are in the top 20 percentile of successful candidates of their Boards.

Bharti said they will follow up with the senates on the 20 percentile issue and conducting the test from 2013.

Sources on the other hand claimed some of the senates are unhappy with the latest development and have already expressed their opposition to the compromise agreement. They said senates of IIT Kharagpur and IIT Guwahati are against the 20 percentile formula.

All the senates will discuss the agreement reached at the IIT Council before giving their final approval.

IIT alumni which is also represented by some faculty members met here on Thursday and passed a resolution rejecting the new agreement.

Bharti said the demand of delinking the centrally funded institutes like NITs and IIITs from the IIT under the common entrance has not taken place. 

The IIT Council on Wednesday sought to end the joint entrance examination (JEE) row by fixing a new eligibility criteria for 2013 under which successful candidates would have to be in the top 20 percentile of their respective boards.The formula does away with the existing eligibility
criteria of 60% marks in boards.

Now, candidates will first appear for the JEE (main) screening test, which will filter out the top 1.5 lakh students for the JEE (advanced) test. The final IIT ranking would depend only on the all India rank in JEE (advanced), subject to the successful students meeting the percentile criteria.

The top 20 percentile will vary across boards from year to year. For example, those who got more than 78% in CBSE last year would have made it to its top 20 percentile bracket. For UP boards, students with more than 65% marks would have been eligible.

The new pattern was agreed upon unanimously by the IIT Council. HRD minister Kapil Sibal, chairman of the council, did not attend the meeting.

The All India IIT Faculty Federation welcomed the new system. “Our main objection to the proposed exam changes was weightage on board marks. With board marks not being included, there should be no problem,” said its secretary Atul Mittal.

IIT-Guwahati director Gautam Barua said the percentile system would encourage students to focus on the boards.
 
New Delhi: Ending the impasse over the entrance to the prestigious Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT), the IIT Council on Wednesday struck a compromise with the human resource ministry and agreed on a common test, but in two stages, with the final one under their control.

The council also decided that only the top 20 percent scorers of any school board will be eligible to appear in the entrance examinations.
Delhi gets golf-loving police chief
Neeraj Kumar, a 1976-batch IPS officer heading the Tihar Jail, will be the new commissioner of the Delhi Police. “My priority will be to ensure Delhi stays safe from terrorists and organised crime. I will make sure that its women are safe,” said Kumar, who replaces BK Gupta on Saturday.
A graduate from St Stephen’s College and an avid golfer, Kumar, 58, was chief of the Delhi Police Special Cell from 2002 to 2004. He was with the CBI from 1993 to 2002 and led the probe into the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts, arresting seven associates of Tiger Memon, one of the masterminds.
Kumar was also behind the arrest and deportation of Aftab Ansari, the alleged mastermind of the 2002 American Center attack in Kolkata.

 Mukherjee handed over his nomination papers to Vivek Kumar Agnihotri, Rajya Sabha Secretary General and Returning Officer for the Presidential elections.

Soon after completing the process, Mukherjee thanked parties like SP, BSP, JD(U), CPI-M and Shiv Sena for reposing faith in him.
"I am grateful to them as they have reposed faith in me to occupy the office which was occupied in the past by great stalwarts of this country.

"I only wish at this time that let me have the blessings of God and cooperation of all at this juncture," he told reporters at the Parliament House.

Four sets of nomination papers, signed by as many as 480 MPs and MLAs, including Union Ministers, Chief Ministers, Congress Legislature Party leaders and PCC chiefs were submitted by Mukherjee.

SP leader Ram Gopal Yadav, BSP leader Satish Chandra Mishra, and NCP leader D P Tripathi were among others who witnessed the filing of nomination papers.

Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal has been appointed as Mukherjee's authorised representative.
