PARADOX- Too many cooks spoil the broth!!!
Off-late their has been a spate of experimentaion in teaching of upcoming "B" grade b-schools across the country on the front of infusing new teaching pedagogy- the way teaching is done.
These new biz entities in an desperate effort to keep their outfits afloat are roping in left-overs from industries, or at times, courtesy fluke, they may get a hands on a corporate person with decent exposure who is desperate to share himself and to build a alternative career in the midst of his industry career span.
Now the value addition part, the oft repeated stinking cliche of management education which has been straightway abducted from corporate meetings.
These "B" grade business schools have students who are raw and crude straight from their typical settings, ingrained and inveterated to the core of them. Students though, look at these creatures with an awe, finally gets morally beaten up, as finding themselves coping with these industry stalwarts seems to be a herculean task to them straight away. The flair of speaker and disconnected stories with their own reality makes a heady mix.
Also, the faculty from industry in order to enthuse students comes up only with narrations and experiences, to handle any pertinent issues. But, since there is no real motive of learning these experiences have become a disaster as there seems to be no link betweem then.
Aspirations of anyone cannot be underestimated as they know no boundations. Still, the farce in this form of corporate exposure is really disheartening. As noone has ever had a real exposure to either things industry or teaching. Thus it becomes quite pathetical as the bridge is broken.

Students leaving the infant in "HIGHER EDUCATION" at Greater Noida!!
D/Friends,
LatelyI've been covering up a University from Greater Noida, the interest being the exaggerated claims made by them which simply blow the roof.
A big set-back for this university settled at expressway in Greater Noida was that a sizeable chunk of students who have taken admissions for the 2009 sessions have withdrawn and left the campus for better place.
"IT WAS VERY SORRY BECAUSE PEOPLE WHO PURPORT TO HAVE EDUCATION ENLIGHTENED, WERE NOT ENLIGHTENED" THEMSELVES.
Remember long back I've communicated to you about the pretentious ways of university opertions. But unfortunately nobody bothered to give a heed to it.
But always its better to be safe rather than sorry, throughout your life, as its your career, your money and your life.

No admission takers for Greater Noida based University seats.
No takers for admissions for seats in world class university located at Greater Noida.
Why is it so that despite such lovely infrastructure and so called learned people in administration a newly setup university being touted as world class was not able to have enough students to fill its seats??
To add insult to injury the institute has to come out with five waiting lists of students in their MBA admissions, and also held students hostage as they refused to return the registration fees.
Still, after so much of manipulation only 108 students took admissions in MBA program of this university. Still 12 seats are vacant. Any takers.....................????????????
Plz poll if you have enlightened yourself at this new baby on block in Greater Noida.
1. Internal politics
2. Favouritism- Chacha- Bhatijawaad
3. People not exposed to modern day courses
4. Good people are expelled as per the wishes of top administration willingness.

Kickbacks to HR professionals by management institutes to get their students placed
It was quite a disclosure for me, when somebody with whom I was interacting made a startling disclosure.
The lady with whom I was interacting was a seasoned faculty with exposure to major business school. She revealed that private business school with substandard students pool in money and grease the palms of hr recruiters of various companies.
Now if it is a distant reality, then where are the students of government universities, going to go???????
Then isn't it better to join a private university/institute rather then pay heavy fees to setups which are quasi/false in nature, with no possible end results in the form of a career.

Maya’s university and Mulayam’s Night Safari ride on poll results
Maya’s university and Mulayam’s Night Safari ride on poll results
Aman Sharma
Greater Noida, April 25: Two multi-crore projects in Greater Noida, announced by the Mayawati and Mulayam Singh Yadav governments in the last four years, await the election results for a decision on their fate.
While construction is to begin at the first-of-its-kind Rs 150-crore Night Safari project after its clearance by the Central Zoo Authority recently, Mayawati’s Rs 300-cr pet project, Gautam Budh University, has no takers.
The University, spread over 500 acres along the proposed Taj Expressway, lies in ruins, Newsline found. A plaque of Mayawati and statues of Gautam Buddha are all that the boundary wall with five huge gates encloses. “If power changes hand, we hope work will start,” said a Greater Noida Authority official.
Construction at the campus stopped in October 2003 after Mulayam took over. Mayawati had laid the foundation stone of the project on October 14, 2002. Contracts worth Rs 45 crore were also awarded during her tenure. “The contracts were later cancelled as it was felt that they had been awarded at an inflated amount. An inquiry was ordered,” said a Greater Noida Authority official.
Over the years, grills and iron pipes laid for the drainage system, have been stolen, said the sole caretaker.
The story of the Night Safari Project is somewhat different. Already, 150 acres has been acquired in Murshadpur in Greater Noida on the Expressway, but the officials are in a hurry to complete the project. Officials told Newsline that the project has got clearance from both the zoo and environmental authorities. The plan is now to complete the project — modeled on Singapore, China and Thailand Night Safari — before the 2010 CW Games. The Authority expects 40 lakh visitors annually. “The project report has been prepared by Bernard Harrison, the principal partner of Creativity and Design for the world’s first Night Safari at Singapore. We will approach the Supreme Court and the construction will begin,” an official confirmed.

Gautam Buddha varsity may open in ’08

Noida, May 17: LYING virtually in ruins for the past three years, Mayawati’s 511-acre Gautam Buddha University in Greater Noida might start classes from the next academic year. To make up for the “loss of three years”, officials have decided to accelerate the University’s construction at record pace.
“What should have been a full-fledged university by now has become a jungle. Fast completion the university is priority for the new government. I have issued orders for work to start from morning till 2 am and I’m personally supervising the process to ensure it is full-pace. We hope to start functioning from the next academic year and I have set a deadline that all work here should be complete in three years time,” says Lalit Shrivastava, new Chairman, Noida Development Authority (NDA).
Since Tuesday, over a dozen JCB cranes and 200 workers have been pressed into service here to clear the over-grown shrubs at the campus and clean the statues. A new transformer has been set up to light up the campus and ensure that work continues in the night as well.
The new NDA chairman has also initiated a probe to ascertain whose orders halted the university’s construction in August 2003. “Strict action would be taken against the officials found responsible for stalling the project. The probe will also include how much loss has been incurred in the past three years after construction was stopped,” said the chairman. Former chairman during the past three years under Mulayam’s rule, Rakesh Bahadur, was shifted on Monday.
Initial findings in the probe have revealed that the work was not re-started even after two committees set up to
probe allegations of bungling of funds gave the project a clean chit. The deadline for the project was 2004 end. “When work was stopped on the project, Rs 73 crore had already been spent on land acquisition and Rs 14 crore on the statues, stone and boundary wall. The allegation of the former government was that much more money was spent - Rs 75 lakh on the 15-ton Gautam Buddha statue while Rs three crore on five other statues of Bhim Rao Ambedkar and monks,” said a senior Noida Authority official. Two committees, one headed by retired IAS officer Vijay Mathur and another headed by former NOIDA CEO Brajesh Kumar, later gave the project a clean chit.
As per officials, the world-class Gautam Buddha University will set new standards for institutions of higher learning in the country and will cover a wide range of subjects including humanities, science and technology, law and management at undergraduate and graduate levels. Such studies will necessarily be multi-disciplinary in nature and will creatively synthesize the strengths of different departments in different colleges of the university, add officials

(From The Economic Times) Byline: Arvind Singh Bisht LUCKNOW: Is CM Mayawati a social worker? That is the question doing the rounds in political circles here after she became the 'self-proclaimed' chancellor of Gautam Buddha University, to be set up by the newly created Gautam Buddha Education Society (GBES). The BSP leader will head the university, likely to start next July, as its patron in the capacity of a social worker and not as CM. What intrigues all and sundry is the new avtaar she has acquired as social worker primarily to become the society's patron. The society will be promoted by the New Okhla Industrial Development Authority (Noida) and the Greater Noida. As patron she will be at the helm of affairs. The bylaws of the society have been framed to vest all powers in the patron. Accordingly, it is mandatory to seek her permission to affect changes in; (a) basic aims, objectives of the society, (b) structural change in its set up and (c) dissolution of society. Then, each amendment will have to be approved by one third of the members present in the society and they include, principal secretaries, finance, social welfare, higher education, electronics, technical education, science and technology and Noida CEO. All ex-officio posts. The CEO will also be the society secretary. The social worker status, is being seen as a ploy by Mayawati to remain chancellor forever. This is perhaps the only instance of its kind in which a governor is not the chancellor of a government university. A bill was adopted by both Houses of the state legislature recently. Reacting to all what has happened, Laxamikant Vajpayee, BJP MLA and chairman of the Vidhan Sabha estimate committee said in the House that the formation of the university was contrary to the UP state Universities Act, 1973 in which the governor is necessarily the chancellor.
The opposition shares the same opinion. Ashok Bajpayee, SP MLA and chairman, Public Accounts Committee said: "The university will be a private empire being raised at government expense by Mayawati to pursue her political agenda." While demanding immediate intervention by governor Shastri, he said there was no need to set up the university in Gautam Buddha Nagar, which has a number of universities close by in Meerut, Aligarh and Delhi, which is just 30 kms away. And reacting to it, CLP leader Pramod Tiwari said: "Mayawati was perhaps inspired by Vishwa Bharti University, where the chancellor is always the prime minister." The university will have reservations; 23 per cent for SC, 2 per cent for ST and 25 per cent for OBCs.

(From The Statesman (India)) HEMENDRA NARAYAN STATESMAN NEWS SERVICE LUCKNOW, Sept. 7. - When Governor Mr Vishnukant Shastri gives assent to the Uttar Pradesh Gautam Buddha University Bill, he would find something amiss. He is not the chancellor of the university! Instead, the ex-officio chancellor of the university, sponsored by Noida and Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority, is the chief minister. Some clauses in the Bill had provisions for distribution of power among officials, boards and councils.
But the transitory provisions mentioned in Clause 37 of the Bill, gives all-encompassing powers to the chancellor. It says, "notwithstanding anything contained in any other provisions of this Act and the Statutes"; the chancellor will appoint the vice-chancellor, registrar, finance officer, and nominate the board of governors. The university will be established by the Gautam Buddha Education Society whose chairman is the industrial development commissioner. The secretary of the society is the CEO of Noida. Mr Singh said the university at Gautam Budh Nagar will be completed by July 2002 The acquisition of land (80 hectares) will be started by this month. The Bill points that Gautam Budh Nagar with good infrastructural facilities was found to be most suitable place for opening of the university.
According to the Bill, the society has to acquire land, create a permanent endowment fund of at least Rs 10 crore and other funds, and create infrastructure and other facilities to make the university functional. After the state government was satisfied that the society had fulfilled the conditions, it would issue certificate of "authorisation for the establishment of the university".
There will be reservation of 23 per cent for SCs, two per cent for STs and 25 for the backward castes students. There would no affiliated colleges of the University.
