UPDATE, MAY 2008: The JAM Engineering Admissions Guide is now out. You can order a copy online at 15% discount from here. It is also available at leading bookshops across India, distributed by IBD.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The survey is done, the book being composed and the website under construction. The fruits of all these efforts should be visible in early June.
Thank you all, for your feedback and participation. And a few final requests. After going through the matter we found some bits of information missing and/ or inadequate. Hence would request write ups on the following.
Overview of engineering education for the following states:
- Himachal
- Uttaranchal
- Chhatisgarh
- Madhya Pradesh
- Goa
- Tamil Nadu
- Karnataka
The last two - we do have write ups - but they don't do justice.
If interested, please email me rashmi_b at yahoo.com and we'll send you guidelines. But, we need the matter in a bit of a hurry - a week at best.
If you can't write but would like to simply share the info you have with us that's ok as well. Drop me a line with your contact no.
A couple of other topics we need short write ups on:
- Unusual courses at IITs
- Coaching Class scene - Kota and others
After Engineering
We'd also like a few paras from some of you who are:
- working in core engineering jobs (civil, chemical etc)
- engineers who went into research
- engineers who went into something completely unrelated
You could give your brief background and share the journey so far, in brief.
Lastly, if anyone has any tips or specific advice for engineering aspirants - even if it's just a para - please send it in. We are including a lot of 'tidbits'.
And yes, those of you who have contributed articles will receive a cheque from us this month. In case you haven't sent your address, pls do so at the earliest!
why r you obsessed with the IITs? You've used IItians twice today.
ReplyDeleteWonder how many people actually like reading what IItians think or do in your magazine...

ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteI am studying in IITg.
I have written a decent enough article on math courses out here....it's full of sarcasm and i had got it published in my campus's magazine.
May i send the doc. to you?
Hello Abhishek,
ReplyDeleteI do not know what prompted you to make such a comment.I believe that there are enough people who would like to read what IITians think or do.
Rashmi,
Sorry for a counter comment on your blog.But I had to do it to counter such a sweeping generalization made.

To know more about 5 year integrated master in science(admission through JEE) courses in "Applied Geology" & "Exploration Geophysics" at IIT Kharagpur[in placements-2007, avg. salary of 11 students of these courses was 12.54 Lakhs per annum] ..visit http://gauravspace.blogspot.com/

The jam engineering college ratings is a good initiative.. plz try not to make the content too definitive..
ReplyDeletealong with the KOTA effect.. the effect of residential schools in andhra pradesh needs to be covered.. it has an equal impact on engineering entrance results, if not more. u will understand why i say this when once you put in a little research.
i came across this website of the NIT at surat.. its website contains a link named career guidance.. the hyperlink to which is:
http://www.svnit.ac.in/update/Career.pdf
just make sure that u have the patience to go thru the entire pdf when u decide to take a look (it is poorly compiled)
i think this can prove to be a good source for research about engineering and allied colleges.
Might be you should publish the ratings as soon as possible. This is the time most of the people would be taking admissions and if you do not publish it soon, the admission dates for many colleges would have passed.
