Inside the Campus: Flexibility in curriculum or a cruel joke
http://insideiitk.blogspot.com/2015/05/flexibility-in-curriculum-or-cruel-joke.html
This is a blog primarily for the IIT Kanpur community. Will talk about what has been happening around here. Friday, May 29, 2015. Flexibility in curriculum or a cruel joke. Such a student could do a minor in another discipline (3-4 courses), or a secondary major (about 10 courses), or do a Master's degree in that discipline (a few UG courses and then all Master's level credits). Let us look how this has panned out, now that the first batch is about to graduate. (Actually less than half is graduat...Appea...

This is a blog primarily for the IIT Kanpur community. Will talk about what has been happening around here. Thursday, November 6, 2014. IITK gets 400th faculty member. In the past, the office of Dean of Faculty Affairs has been considered a place which only handles routine administrative tasks related to faculty, like approving leave. Faculty recruitment and retention was never on DOFA's agenda, except handling the process of organizing selection committees. This has changed now. I hope with the increase...

This is a blog primarily for the IIT Kanpur community. Will talk about what has been happening around here. Thursday, October 30, 2014. Direct PhD after BTech. We were surprised by the results. All three categories of students had a median completion time of 5 years and six months (across all disciplines - students after 5 years of college are common in sciences, humanities, and management, and students after 4/6 years of college are common in engineering). We are solving this problem by seeking applicat...

This is a blog primarily for the IIT Kanpur community. Will talk about what has been happening around here. Monday, July 28, 2014. Only two in top 100. So one more year of disappointment. Out of top 100 JEE rankers, only two have joined IIT Kanpur. For someone belonging to the era where more than 50 joined IIT Kanpur, this is shocking, but it has been this way for a few years. And last year it was actually zero out of 100. And hence we have an opportunity. If we can somehow create a culture where mos...
