NEW DELHI/KOLKATA: For campus recruitment at the premier engineering institutes, the IITs, the news is getting better by the day. By the end of

The major recruiters from these campuses were Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu which recruited an average of 20 students from across the different IITs, Oracle and Credit Suisse, 15 and 13 students respectively and Indian Oil Corporation signed on around 10 students.
Till now highest payer has been Tower Research Capital which recruited nine students and has paid a CTC of Rs 22 lakh (this can go up to Rs 43 lakh if performance bonus is added). Schlumberger which has been the highest paymaster till last year (Rs 36 lakh CTC) is yet to come on campus.

The Uttar Pradesh Technical University (UPTU) has decided to organise an online entrance examination for admissions to the state management colleges from the next academic session, 2010-11.
The entrance exams are scheduled for April 17 and 18, 2010. This is for the first time when the University will organise any online entrance exam. The online test, on a trial-run basis, will not be mandatory and candidates could opt for the paper test at the examination centres.
According to the University authorities, the online test has been made optional as internet is not available in rural areas and some urban areas.
Of the 589 colleges affiliated to UPTU, 345 of them offer management courses.
Keeping in mind the recent online Common Admission Test (CAT) fiasco, Professor Kripa Shanker, Vice-Chancellor of UPTU said: “We are in touch with experts inquiring the reasons behind the system failure in CAT. It will help us in preventing similar incidents in our online examinations.”

NEW DELHI: Human resource development minister Kapil Sibal on Tuesday slammed the premier Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) and ordered an enquiry into what prevented a large number of students from taking the online CAT entrance examination on the scheduled dates. ( Watch Video )
“This should not have happened. As government we are very concerned,” Sibal told reporters. CAT is the common admission test for entry into the premier business schools.
“I had asked the IIMs to give me a report and as per Dec 1 morning, 45,000 students had enrolled for giving the test but 8,000 could not. This is a huge percentage,” he added.
With CAT going online this year, the IIMs decided to hold the exam on 10 different days instead of conducting it on one day.
But for the last four days, thousands of IIM aspirants have failed to take the test as the server crashed. While the test conducting firm, Prometric, has blamed it on viruses, students and coaching centres have blamed it for mismanagement and failure.

The Indian Institute of Managements (IIMs) and Prometric, global provider of comprehensive testing and assessment services, are leaving no stone unturned in ensuring that students are able to successfully appear and complete the Common Admission Test 2009.
Notwithstanding reports of a drop in the number of applicants this year, the CAT committee is hopeful that it would be able to pull off the first computerised examination with minimum glitches.
“This is the first time we are taking CAT online and not in the paper and pen format and there will be mistakes. But we hope to learn as we go along,” the CAT Convenor, Prof Satish Deodhar, told Business Line.
4-page guide
In a four-page Practical Guide to CAT 2009, Prometric has informed students to “look out for signboards and staff wearing official CAT 2009 jackets to assist” them once they arrive at the test centres.
The CAT examination starting from November 29 to December 7 will be different in more ways than one, with major logistics revamp to suit the new format.
Candidates will have to arrive at the test centres not less than two hours before test time and go through security checks, identity verification and check-in.
“The whole rigmarole sounds like checking into an airport. But I am glad they have issued this guidebook; it helps jittery first timers like me,” said an applicant for CAT 2009.
Candidates will get only 15 minutes to familiarise themselves with the new system on how to answer and review the questions before the actual test lasting two hours and 15 minutes begins. The testing sessions will be audio and video recorded. Contingency plans have been put in place in the event of power outage, technical glitches , medical outbreaks, natural calamities and terrorist attacks, according to the guidebook.
An estimated 2.41 lakh candidates are said to have registered for CAT this year as compared to 2.46 lakh who took the test in 2008. CAT is a qualifying test for a management programme at the seven Indian Institutes of Management as well as other institutes that accept the CAT scores. It will be held in close to 104 test centres across 32 cities in India. The results will be declared on the CAT website by the end of January.
