The Rashtreeya Sikshana Samithi Trust (RSST) was founded in the year 1940. The mission of the founder was to ‘Impart Quality Education to all sections of the Society’. Sri M.C.Shivananda Sarma, an educationalist and Sri Meda Kasturi Ranga Setty, a businessman, philanthropist joined hands together to pull this movement forward. Today, six decades later, RSST through the RV institutions (Rashtreeya Vidyalayas), is in the forefront among providers of quality education in the State of Karnataka with an alumnus that’s a large galaxy of intellectuals, engineers, administrators, public servants, entrepreneurs, doctors, professionals, sportspersons, scientists, teachers and researchers.

If in today’s global context, the brand ‘RV’ immediately brings to one’s mind a class of young achievers in enterprise, information technology, industry and research, it is because of the flagship institution of RSST, namely “RV College of Engineering (RVCE)”.

Global recognition of RVCE’s initiatives has given it the impetus to modernize itself, expand the existing and explore newer frontiers of knowledge for the benefit of the society. In the process, RVCE has been continuously evolving itself, strengthening its roots with every offshoot of a new branch. To the society to which it owes its existence, its concerns have always been to provide opportunities, especially to the underprivileged, physically challenged, disabled, and economically weak. With this motive, RVCE has been providing healthy academic ambience without frills of luxury. Commendable success notwithstanding, its commitments are deepening.

rvceThis saga of sustained success is scripted by an inspired leadership of the RSST comprising of eminent men from different vocations, chosen periodically. This commitment is unstinted and focused.

Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta

Autor tdomf_2061d | 20.07.2010 | Category MBA in India

The Indian Institute of Management Calcutta (IIMC) was established as the first national institute for Post-Graduate studies and Research in Management by the Government of India in November 1961 in collaboration with Alfred P. Sloan School of Management (MIT), the Government of West Bengal, The Ford Foundation and Indian industry. The foundation stone of the Joka campus was laid by Sri Morarji Desai, the then Dy. Prime Minister of India on Dec 15, 1968. The Institute moved to its present campus in 1975.

INFRASTRUCTURE

The 135-acre campus of the Institute has a cluster of Administrative and Faculty Office Blocks, fully equipped classrooms, seminar and conference rooms, Management Center for Human Values, residential quarters for students, faculty and staff members, library, an executive training complex, a bank and a post office. The 750-seat state-of-the-art Auditorium is the latest addition to the campus. The institute is located in its own sprawling 135 acres campus in Joka, away from the hustle and bustle of the metropolis.

The campus has four hostels that provide single room accommodation to students with modern amenities and recreation facilities. All the hostels have their own coffee shops, canteens, photocopy units and printer rooms. Every room has its own network connection, which enables fast and round-the-clock Internet access. The hostels also have intercom facility in all the wings. For the visitors, the institute provides guest-rooms. To take care of the married students’ needs, the institute has provided separate accommodation facilities for them.

The institute has always attached special importance to the use of information technology by the academic community. The institute deploys a network of around 1000 PCs, 4 digital Alpha servers, one IBM RS-6000 server and seven Novell file servers. Through a 2MBPS and 64 KBPS radio link with VSNL users get unlimited access to the Internet. A host of electronic databases like Bloomberg, Prowess and Capitalize providing information on the global and Indian corporate world are also accessible likewise. The institute’s Bidhan Chandra Roy library was started initially with a liberal Ford foundation grant, and over the last 36 years has grown into a major learning resource center in South Asia.

Placement

The most sought after companies in sectors like Consulting, Financial Services and IT made quite a number of offers at IIM Calcutta. IIM Calcutta proved to be the hunting ground for top notch consulting companies with firms like McKinsey and Company, The Boston Consulting Group and AT Kearney looking to recruit in large numbers. One of the noteworthy aspects of Placements at IIMC is the increase in number of sectors for which students were recruited. Companies in sectors such as Insurance, BPO, Shipping and Holiday Services made their presence felt on campus in 2007. An important aspect of placements in 2007 was the phenomenal success of the Lateral Placement Programme meant for students with significant work experience. Despite a much smaller pool of candidates with work experience as compared to the previous year, there was an increase in both the number of recruiters and the number of offers made. This year, companies participating in the Laterals Programme also recruited for positions abroad. IIM Calcutta encourages and nurtures independent thinking and the ability to explore unconventional avenues. As in the past, this year as well, there were students who chose the entrepreneurial path over the relatively easier corporate route to success. One of these students, the founder of the Adventure Club at IIM Calcutta, which is the first of its kind in any Management School in India, has decided to follow his dream of scaling greater heights by starting his own organization

Admission Procedure

Admission to the post graduate programme is through a three stage process where different abilities of the candidate are assessed. The IIM’s conduct the Common Admission Test (CAT) for the assessment of the Quantitative, Analytical, Verbal, Logical and comprehension skills. Upon clearing this stage the candidate is further tested for his/her attitude and aptitude for management education through Group Discussions (Stage 2) and Interviews (Stage 3). Admission is dependent upon various other parameters which keep changing in different years. A good score in CAT would mean a good chance for an admission as the written test is given the maximum weightage among all three stages. A three year’s bachelor’s degree or equivalent in any discipline recognized by the AICTE / AIU.
