| Tri-Valley won’t affect Indian enrolment in US – Experts Posted: 07 Mar 2011 04:10 AM PST Tri-Valley won’t affect Indian enrolment in US – Experts New York: As another season of US education fairs comes around, education experts say the Tri-Valley University incident will not deter Indian students from coming to America but those seeking admission should make thorough enquiries first. “The Tri-Valley incident is an odd case that is being nipped in the bud by the active media and the action taken by the governments of India and the US. It will not have any impact on new admissions to US universities,” Prabhakar Lavakare, India country partner of the Institute of International Education (IIE) in the US, told the sources. “There are many fly-by-night institutions in the US and a careful study of their background and reference with The US-India Education Foundation (USIEF) would definitely help students avoid a similar situation,” he said. He was referring to the Tri-Valley University in California, where students, 90 percent of them from India, faced the prospect of deportation after the varsity was found to be a sham and was shut down. It is ‘US Education Fair’ time in India – through spring beginning in March and autumn in September – held mostly in Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Chennai and Hyderabad. These fairs are organized by USIEF, IIE, Linden Tours and the Council for International Schools (CIS). There are also other players like IDP and American Expo which attract students through advertisements. “University studies are an investment in your future, weigh all the information before making a decision,” cautioned Susan Whipple of Marquette University, one of the oldest private universities of Wisconsin established in 1881. Whipple, who has been showcasing Marquette University in India since the 1990s, said students who are seriously inclined will not be dissuaded from applying to US universities as a result of the Tri-Valley incident. She said in order to comprehend the admission process, many Indian students and their families understand the value of attending fairs. Parke Muth, dean of international admissions in the University of Virginia, told the sources that many universities rely on ‘word of mouth’ and do not participate in any education fair for undergraduate programmes. “It is purely reputation and the detailed information about their programmes and campus life, available from university offices and their websites, which attract and enable students to choose a university in the US,” he said. The US has more than 3,300 accredited colleges and universities, which offer a wide range of graduate and undergraduate programmes. There are 4,352 degree-granting institutions in America but only the highest quality US universities are recognized by the popular university rankings. The ‘Best 373 Colleges’ named by The Princeton Review represent the top nine percent of universities in America. The rules and regulations governing the entrance of all international students into the US are complicated and should be properly looked into before applying for a student visa, said Lavakare. There are mainly two types of student visas: The F-1 (Student Visa) for full-time students enrolled in an academic programme and the J-1 (Exchange Visitor Visa) issued for students needing practical training which is not available in their home country to complete their academic programme. The central issue today is that many Indian students have already thought of a long-term career plan in the US as they apply for admissions. They often prolong their stay in the US so as to improve their professional careers and earn through lucrative jobs offered by industry which sponsors their potential employee for H-1B (Work Visa) – a requirement under the immigration rules, he said. Lavakare, in his study on the mobility of scholars between India and the US, states “the attraction for education in the US continues to grow but the nature of mobility and its diversity is changing. “Earlier, US universities attracted post-graduate students from India to get a PhD degree of a quality not easily acquired in India and the US universities were not looking for students as a source of revenue generation as the trend seems to be today, with focus now on undergraduate recruitment.” The number of students from India increased by two percent to a total of nearly 105,000. Indian students represent 15 percent of all international students in US higher education, the second largest international community of students after China, according to the Open Doors report 2010. Muth and Whipple said the number of undergraduate applications from students from India has shown an increase for Fall 2011. Engineering, biomedical, civil, electrical, computer, mechanical, sciences, business studies remain the popular programmes. |

HYDERABAD: What is the brand identity of the 'decision making application’ developed by the Brazilian company 'uTouch Labs’? Don’t fret if you haven’t got the answer. Neither did the six teams fighting a battle of wits in the regional finals of Tata Crucible Campus Quiz 2011 here on Sunday. The poser was passed from end to end and finally tossed into the audience for a brilliant kid to grab it and utter the right answer, 'Ask the Octopus’. The loss of 'runs’ – points in simulation of a cricket game – was amply made up by the teams through 'power play’, in which they got 12 runs instead of six if they were right, and lost three if they were wrong. Storehouses of information that they were, all the six teams scored points within the first two rounds, which in itself was a record according to the quizmaster Giri 'Pickbrain’ Balasubramaniam. However, the winner had to be one, and a team from the two representing the Indian School of Business had shown who it would be since the first round. 'Stump Vision’, the round of visuals, 'Tata World’, buzzer round with questions on Tata products, 'Third Umpire’ with answers hidden among a maze of clues, and the 'Slog Overs’ with 60 seconds and three clues for answer, were the other levels of the quiz. Stiff competition prevailed for the runner-up position finally bagged by the team from VNR-VJIET. Abhishek Nag and Vivek Sekar from ISB bagged the winner’s cash prize of Rs. 75,000 while Joice John and Shankar. T from VNR-VJIET received Rs. 35,000 from the hands of V. Rajanna, Vice-President and Regional Head of Tata Consultancy Services. Finalists included two teams from Institute of Public Enterprise and one from Nalsar Law University. In all, 108 teams from across the State participated in the quiz, organisers informed. The winning team will take part in the national finals at Mumbai and compete with 23 other regional winners, they said. Source : The Hindu |
