| No placements in T colleges yet. Posted: 10 Oct 2011 01:23 AM PDT No placements in T colleges yet. Engineering students in Telangana might lose out on placement opportunities since colleges have been closed since September 13 due to the Sakala Janula Samme. IT majors such as Infosys, TCS, Cognizant etc. have failed to conduct campus recruitment drives in these colleges as the managements had declared holidays due to lack of transportation thanks to the RTC strike from September 18. Meanwhile, the placement drives in colleges in the Seemandhra region are going on smoothly since August and the managements and students in the T-region fear that their prospects would be hit if there are anymore disruptions. The IT majors have, however, completed placement drives in "Tier-I" colleges in the T-region like the OU Engineering Colleges, JNTU-Hyderabad, CBIT, Vasavi, Gokaraju Rangaraju, Gitam, Srinidhi, Muffakham Jah, Narayanamma, VNR Vignan Jyothi etc. The placements for final year first semester students began in August thanks to Nasscom which advanced the placement season by four months from this year unlike earlier when it used to begin in December. The companies were scheduled to begin placement drives in "Tier-II” colleges like KG Reddy, Aurora, St. Mary's, TRR, Holy Mary etc. from September. However, they had to be put off as the colleges were closed. Normally, colleges train students on soft skills, communication skills, mathematical abilities etc. ahead of placement drives. While the managements haven't been in a position to conduct any such classes till now, they have decided to conduct classes for Final Year students from Monday when the colleges re-open. "We are requesting the T-activists to allow colleges to function at least during placement season. It is in the interests of T-students," said Mr Krishna Reddy, chairman of KG Reddy group of colleges. Source : DC ||| FirstRanker.com ||| - JNTU Hyderabad - JNTU Kakinada - JNTU Anantapur |
| Telangana strike: Private education institutes firm on reopening. Posted: 10 Oct 2011 01:17 AM PDT Telangana strike: Private education institutes firm on reopening. The managements of educational institutions have decided to reopen the institutions from Monday — after 22 days on account of the on-going Sakala Janula Samme — stating that they are under immense pressure from parents. However, government schools and colleges will remain closed since teachers and lecturers are continuing the strike. On Sunday, parents in Kukatpally held a massive rally asking the managements to re-open the schools from Monday. They raised slogans against political parties and leaders saying that they were playing with the lives of students who had no role to play in the formation of a T-state. However, lack of public transportation is a concern since 70 per cent of the students depend on RTC buses while the institutions provide transportation for only 30 per cent of the students. The problem is compounded as the managements do not want to ply their own buses fearing attacks from T-activists. Students will thus have to make their own transport arrangements to attend classes. Students of professional colleges, especially engineering students, will be the worst affected as most of the colleges are located in the city outskirts and are solely dependent on RTC buses. However, none of the associations representing schools and colleges in the T-region were willing to come on record regarding reopening the schools from Monday stating that it would only invite trouble from T-activists. "We have informed parents and students by SMS and e-mails regarding re-opening of schools from Monday. The schools will be open and it's up to the parents and students to make their own transport arrangements. We have received innumerable calls from parents since Dasara asking us to open the schools immediately.” “We are under immense pressure from parents and have no other option but to open the schools from Monday," said a representative of Telangana Recognised Private Schools Managements Association.

| City schools, colleges face Telangana dilemma. Posted: 10 Oct 2011 01:13 AM PDT City schools, colleges face Telangana dilemma. HYDERABAD: Despite the call given by Telangana Joint Action Committee (T-JAC) to extend Dasara vacation in view of the ongoing separate state agitation, some private schools and colleges in the city are planning to reopen from Monday. While many CBSE and ICSE schools in the city have decided to reopen, a few state schools also intimated their students that classes will commence from Monday. A majority of private colleges and other institutions affiliated to Osmania University will also start functioning from Monday. However, many state syllabus schools, especially those located in areas including Kukatpally, Tarnaka and Abids have announced that they will not be functioning on Monday. The school authorities said that they will take a call on reopening of schools on Tuesday, if the situation is peaceful. Meanwhile, many parents are agitated over the decision of some of the schools to remain closed even on Monday. While most schools in the city had a 20-day Dasara vacation this year due to Sakala Janula Samme, parents were expecting the schools to reopen on October 10. A group of 40 parents staged a dharna at Kukatpally Crossroads asking the school managements to reopen their institutions. They also approached the Kukatpally police on Sunday asking them to convince the school managements to reopen schools. The miffed parents also sought police protection to run schools and colleges in their area. However, the T-JAC on Saturday had asked schools and other educational institutions to remain shut in support of the Telangana agitation. The schools have already lost 40 working days out of 221 due to the Telangana agitation. If the schools do not reopen on Monday and suspend classes for another week, they will not be able to make up for the lost working days, officials said. Considering parents’ request, the Recognised Schools managements’ association has sent a petition to the T-JAC asking them to exempt schools from the agitation. The association has also asked students’ unions in the region not to disturb classes in those institutions that are reopening on Monday. Officials of some state schools said that while many of them might not reopen on Monday they could do so later this week. “We need to study the situation and take a call,” said a management representative. However, several CBSE and ICSE schools in the city have decided to reopen on Monday in spite of the bandh call. Schools including Jubilee Hills Public School, P Obul Reddy School, Glendale Academy, Meridian and Chinmaya Vidyalaya will reopen as per schedule on Monday, officials said. Osmania University, has decided to reopen their campus, constituent and affiliated colleges on Monday, after the Dasara vacation, officials said. However, some of the affiliated colleges said that they will function only if RTC buses start plying. ||| FirstRanker.com ||| - JNTU Hyderabad - JNTU Kakinada - JNTU Anantapur |
