LIS Courses in Distance Education Mode
by A.T. Francis 15 Jul '09

15 Jul '09

Dear Professionals, There is no harm in conducing courses in distance education mode. But, the problem lies with the quality of the distance education courses. The prestiges courses like CA, ICWA, ACS, IETE, AMIE, etc. are conducing distance education mode effectively. No dilution of quality in these courses we have heard. At the same time, many universities are conducting courses in distance education mode mainly to generate fund and not to provide quality education to the students at their door steps. Even after the establishment of Distance Education Council, desired positive improvements in quality is yet to be achieved in the courses of most of the universities. In Kerala, most of the certificates of professional courses received through distance education mode is not recognised by the Kerala Public Service Commission and Kerala University. At the same time, Kerala University is offering professional courses, including BLISc and MLISc, in distance education mode. It is high to frame uniform rules applicable to all over India to clear confusion in this regard. The first aim of the students should be to do quality education and obtain a valid certificate for that. In Kerala, lots of students are struggling without recognising the certificates by the universities. Wih regards, DR. A.T.

[ELF (E-Group for Engineering Librarians)] Strict norms for MPhil, PhD - Rajk...
by K.R.Mulla, LIS Professional from India, working as Librarian 14 Jul '09

14 Jul '09

[http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Rajkot/Strict-norms-for-MPhil-PhD/articl…] In a bid to end the situation where under-qualified aspirants get MPhil and PhD degrees, University Grants Commission (UGC) has issued a notification with minimum qualifications for students who want to get these degrees. Now, universities will have to conduct entrance tests for students in line with certain provisions. They will also have to decide on number of students instead of haphazardly granting permission. The notification will be applicable from June 1 to all UGC-granted universities, Central and state government-run ones and colleges affiliated to them. All institutions will have to decide on minimum qualifications for selection of recognized guides as well. The number of students permitted to undertake research will depend on availability of guides. "All universities will have to decide on number of MPhil and PhD seats in advance and publish the information as advertisements and on the website too," said a dean of Saurashtra University. For students who have cleared Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) exam, State Level Eligibility Test (SLET) and other exams, or equivalents, universities can fix separate conditions, he added. UGC has also decided that a student can get direct admission to PhD or via MPhil. Universities will have to keep in mind reservation quota and select guides for candidates. After the entrance exam, students will have to undergo study programme for one semester, including research methods and computer skills. Students will have to submit theses within a time limit. Before that, a summary will have to be presented. This will be open to all for criticism and suggestions, which will be incorporated in the paper. Each thesis will be checked by at least two experts, one from abroad. After satisfactory evaluation, the student will have to take on viva. After this, he or she will have to send a soft copy of the thesis paper to UGC in 30 days.

Re: [LIS-Forum] IEEE Training position in India

Hi Sushma Your signature line is missing from the message. However, can you please inform us how did you get this advertisement? Some of the things are not clear from your message. Is it a trial position? I don't think this position-holder will be legally part of IEEE workforce. Then, who will be actual employer for this position in India? Will the employer give all HR benefits to this position-holder as given by standard Indian corporates?
