INDIA LAGS BEHIND IN 2015 ASIA UNIVERSITY RANKING, ONLY 9 VARSITIES MAKE THE CUT Indian universities continue to lag way behind other institutes in a latest ranking of Asian universities that is dominated by varsities from Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, and China. According to the Times Higher Education Asia University Ranking 2015, Indian Institute of Science Bangalore comes closest at 37th place and Punjab University at 38th position, down six places from 2014, according to a statement issued by ranking body. "India's progress has faltered, it has nine top 100 universities, one fewer than last year," added the statement. The IIT's of Roorkee, Bombay, Delhi, Kharagpur and Madras, besides Aligaarh Muslim University and Jawaharlal Nehru University figure among the top 100, though their rankings have come down from 2014. University of Tokyo continued to retain the top position while Natipnal University of Singapore and University of Hong Kong retained the second and third place respectively. Japan, Hong Kong, and South Korea had each three universities in the top 20 list along with two universities from China and two from Turkey. Phil Baty, editor of Times Higher Education Rankings, said "It is a cause for concern that India has lost ground in the league table. With the country's massive numbers of under-25s putting further pressure on educational resources, it is more crucial than ever that India invests in research and strengthens its academic links with other nations or face being left behind," he said.

by Balesh Kumar 10 Jun '15

10 Jun '15

Sir,Kindly post the mail on the forum Disparity with the college librarians Please refer to the “UGCRegulations on minimum qualifications for appointment of teachers and otheracademic staff in universities and colleges and measures for the maintenance ofstandards in Higher Education 2010” dated 30 June 2010 notified in the Gazetteof India, September 18, 2010 [Part III-Sec. 4), there is a difference betweenthe minimum API score required for category–III i.e. Research and Academic Contribution for the promotion of collegeteachers/DPE and the College Librarian under Career Advancement Scheme. Thedetails are as under: 1. Thecontents of the category –III and their weight-age i.e. API Score are common tothe college teachers, Librarian and the Director Physical Education (DPE) whereas the minimum Weightage Points (WP)norms of the API for the Librarian are higher than the teachers and DPE.(Appendix- III, Table-VIII (b), page no. 7970 of the UGCRegulations, 2010) (copy attached). The difference shown in the following tablefor better understanding: | | | Stage 1 to senior scale (Stage 2) | Senior scale (Stage 2) to (Selection Grade) (Stage 3) | Selection Grade (Stage 3) to Stage 4) | | | For College Librarian | | | | | IV | Research and Academic Contribution (Category III) – Minimum Annual Score Required – to be assessed cumulatively | 5/Year (40/assessment period) | 10/Year (100/assessment period) | 15/Year (90/assessment period) | | | | | | | | | For Colleges Teachers And College DPE | | | | | IV | Research and Academic Contribution (Category III) | 5/Year (20/assessment period) | 10/Year (50/assessment period) | 15/Year (45/assessment period) | | | | | | | | | 2. The above table shows that the APIscore required for the category-III (Research and Academic Contribution)forYearly basis/Annual is same for all the cadres and for all the stages (stage 1to 2 =5/Year, stage 2 to 3 =10/Year and for stage 3 to 4 =15/Year). But the Assessment Period Score requiredfor College Librarian for all the stages is double than the other cadres i.e.college teachers and DPE (for College Librarian for stage 1 to 2 =40, stage 2to 3 =100 and for stage 3 to 4 =90 whereas for the teachers/DPE for stage 1 to2 =20, stage 2 to 3 =50 and for stage 3 to 4 =45) (Table – II (b) and tableV (b) of the notification). 3. Thereshould be equal score for all the cadres (teachers/DPE and College Librarian)for the category-III as the contents of the category are common to all and alsothe Yearly score for this category is same for all the cadres. Besides theabove the API scores for the category –I and II is also equal for all thecollege cadres. 4. Theabove difference/disparity in the API Score may be due to typographical error buttill date no clarification from the UGC has been given in this regard. If anyone has sought any clarification from UGC in this regard kindly share or pursue the matter with the UGC. Thanks and regards, Balesh Kumar Librarian S. D.

Query regarding cloud comuting
by Senthil V 10 Jun '15

10 Jun '15

Dear Moderator please post it on lis-forum, Dear Colleagues, I am really thanking for those replied to my earlier query and in particular my mentor and boss Dr IRN Goudar. Libraries in India have started using cloud technology for providing information services to its users. Although there are few libraries who have adopted this technology so far yet it is expected that some more in the process. We have prepared a research report on use of cloud computing for library services in India. Draft submitted for publication is available on the following link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8cCvzKYb3ZiWFQwc3JaSlIwT1k&authuser=0 To evaluate and analyse cloud based LMS we need to know the libraries in India using this technology. If you are aware about any such library, it is requested to provide us the name of library who has either adopted this technology or in the process of adopting it along with contact person details. Looking forward with thanks to all you in anticipation. -- V Senthil Scientist D DESIDOC, DRDO Metcalfe House, Delhi - 54 mail: senthildrdo(a)gmail.com, senthil(a)desidoc.drdo.in Ph: 011-23902504 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
