  • Ayurvedic colleges in State face closure threat, Permission for six colleges cancelled.

    Vijayawada, Nov 01: All except one Ayurvedic College in the State are on the verge of closure with the Central Council of Indian Medicine (CCIM) withdrawing permission for intake of undergraduate (degree) and post-graduate students for 2011-12 academic year.

    Ironically, the counselling for the post-graduate seats began at the Dr. N.T.R. University of Health Sciences here, but only for a few seats in one private college, amid careless attitude of the State government in fulfilling the norms with regard to number of beds in attached hospitals and faculty, though it was feasible, sources said.

    Lack of faculty, beds

    The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Department of AYUSH, has cancelled permission for three Government Ayurvedic Colleges in Hyderabad, Vijayawada and Warangal and three private Ayurvedic colleges in Medak, Karimnagar and Bollikunta (Warangal) on the grounds that they do not have the stipulated faculty and the teaching hospitals do not have the stipulated number of beds.

    The S.V. Ayurvedic College, Tirupati, is the only college that has been granted permission to admit 40 students to BAMS course, six students into PG Rasashastra and six more into PG Dravyaguna. But, even this college has not been permitted to admit students into PG courses in Panchakarma, Kaumarbhritya, Shalya Tantra-Kshar avum Anushastra Karmna and Ayurved Siddhanta.

    Seats denied

    CCIM member M.L. Naidu told The Hindu that permission had not been granted to admit students to 280 BAMS seats and 14 PG seats.

    He said the Central government did not grant permission because of shortage of eligible faculty and bed-strength.

    Ineligible teachers

    Five of the teachers at the Hyderabad College were found to be ineligible, according to CCIM Assessment Visitation Reports.

    Similarly, four staff members in Vijayawada Government College do not have the stipulated qualifications and six in the Warangal College.

    When it comes to bed-strength, the hospital of the Hyderabad College was short of 35 beds and in Vijayawada 50 beds were short.

    Mr Naidu said that unless the State government took the initiative, filled the vacant posts and provided additional beds, these colleges would be in trouble.

    Consent to three government and three private colleges in State withdrawn.

    S.V. Ayurvedic College given permission to admit 40 students to BAMS course, 12 to PG courses.

  • CAT-2011 from today.

    HYDERABAD : The Common Admission Test (CAT), the qualifying examination for admissions to the 13 Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs), will be held over a 28-day period between October 22 and November 18.

    The examination will start at 10 am (first section) and another at 3.15 pm (second section).

    There were two examination centres in Andhra Pradesh— MLR Institute of Technology, Dundigal and Prometric Testing Private Limited, Banjara Hills— both in Hyderabad. Students need to report at the test centre 90 minutes before the commencement of the examination to avoid last-minute stress.

    According to information, the expected number of candidates this year is 2.05 lakh for about 3,000 seats in 13 IIMs.

    This year’s CAT will have two sections as against three last year. The candidates will have 70 minutes’ time in each section to answer 30 questions in each.

    The examination will have an on-screen countdown timer. Once the time ends for the first section, the candidate will have to move to the second section and cannot to go back. The first section will focus on Quantitative Ability and Data Interpretation, and the second on Verbal Ability and Logical Reasoning.

    A 15-minute tutorial will be provided before the start of the test, and candidates are advised to go through it carefully before attempting the main examination.

    The total duration will be two hours and 35 minutes including the tutorial.

    Three new cities _ Bhilai, Jammu and Dehradun _ have been added to the previous 33 centres across the country.

    Prometric India is conducting the examination on behalf of the IIMs.

    Speaking to Express, Ramnath K, course director of Triumphant Institute of Management Education (TIME), said since CAT was replacing JMET, an admission test to pursue MBA at IITs, the aspirants need not take JMET separately as all the six IITs which are offering the MBA course decided to consider CAT score as eligibility. The prestigious University of Delhi, which used to conduct FMS (Faculty of Management Studies) examination to take admissions to all its management courses, had also decided to consider CAT score as eligibility, he said.
