The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has approved two new courses in Integrated Circuit (IC) manufacturing and VLSI Design and Technology to help prepare market-ready talent pool in the field of semi conductors and display manufacturing. The approved courses are--Diploma in IC Manufacturing and BTech or BE Electronics in VLSI Design and Technology.
"With reference to the Program for development of semiconductors and display manufacturing ecosystem in India as approved by the Cabinet, it is pertinent that the aspirations of India to set up semi-conductors and display manufacturing ecosystem would require market ready talent pool in the field of semi conductors and display which ultimately would require a clear roadmap of capacity building," AICTE said in a letter to all Vice-Chancellors and heads of technical institutions.
"Institutions who are interested and eligible
to start these courses shall be permitted subject to satisfying the
conditions laid down in the Approval Process Handbook (APH) 2022-2023
for starting a new course. The model curriculum for the two courses
shall be published soon," it added.

A patent gives you authority to restrict others from using your invention without your permission. A patent provides an important source of revenue for your business. A patent is a legal document granted by the government of the state of the country depending on the national rules. It embraces the inventor with an exclusive right to make, use and sell his creation for a specific time period.
Any product, asset, or invention must follow these basic requirements:
1- It should be new which means there shouldn’t be any existential trace of it.
2-It must be unique in itself. For example, if an individual makes technological improvements in existing products or inventions, they can’t be patented.
3- The invention must not support the immoral purpose or illegal activities, and should add some value to the life of the common man.
The objective of acquiring a patent is to protect the creator’s work to be used by others. According to section 3 and section 5 of the Indian Patents Act 1970, there are some inventions that are not patentable:
-Any method of horticulture or agriculture
– Any invention done under the category of medicine, healer, remedy for humans, plants or animals
-An advancement or discovery in the field of atomic energy.
-Unique machine, device, or process finding
All dealings, rules, and regulations related to patents in India are dealt with Indian Patents Act 1970. This act suggests that either the inventor, his assignee, or one of his legal representatives can apply for one in the head office of the Indian Patent office or branches.
If you want to file an application for your patent, you can do either it by yourself or can take suggestions from registered agents. Getting a patent through a registered agent is a wise choice. When it comes to the cost of getting a patent, the following two elements came into the picture:
You can disclose your invention to a registered agent simply by signing a non-disclosure agreement. When it’s about signing a non-disclosure agreement, try to submit each known fact about your invention.
A professional charges INR 10,000 to 20,00 to carry on extensive research of all databases to find whether your idea is patentable. After research, the agent builds a patentability search report based on your invention.
Once patentability research is done, you can now take a step ahead in filing patent applications. While drafting a patent, again remember that your invention must have an inventive step in comparison to any existing piece of invention.
To draft your application, you have to pay from INR 20, 000 to INR 30,000. For dispute-free processes, you can take the help of professionals.
After drafting your patent application, just review everything once, you can file patent application with the appropriate forms. The applicable fees vary from INR 1,600 to INR 8,000 depending upon the type of application while submitting the patent application.
After filing a patent application, you need to request the Indian patent office within 48 hours. The fees to request a patent examination range from INR 4, 000 to INR 20,000 depending upon the type of application.
Patent officers examine the draft and report submitted and requested by you for examination. At this stage of the procedure, there are chances officers may communicate with the inventor to know inventive steps for assessment. If officers find everything clear, the patent is given a green signal to come to action.
If the application fulfills all requirements, it is placed forward for the grant. Also, the final approval of the patent is published in the journal.
Your patent needs to be renewed after every 20 years by paying a small fee.
However, filing a patent is a very lengthy and complicated process, it is important to recognize its significance. With technological developments, the process is likely to become simpler and easier.

Pune, 9th April 2022: Maharashtra Health Minister Dr Rajesh Tope, who is also holding Skill Development and Entrepreneurship portfolios, today said that the syllabus taught in MBA & PGDM colleges needs to be industry-relevant to make students employable. Otherwise, students will just pass the courses but will remain jobless.
He was speaking as Chief Guest at the 11th Annual Convocation Ceremony of the Pune Institute of Business Management (PIBM), Pune.
Raman Preet, Founder and Chairman of PIBM Group of Institutes, was present on the occasion along with Prof. Jahar Saha (Former Director – IIM Ahmedabad), Arvind Hali (Managing Director & CEO – Motilal Oswal Home Loans), Manish Rohtagi (Managing Director – Stallion Auto Keke Limited, Nigeria), and others.
A total of more than 500 students from Batch 2018-20 who successfully completed their MBA & PGDM programs were conferred with the degrees at the hands of minister Mr. Rajesh Tope. These students were from the branches like Finance, Marketing, Human Resources, Business Analytics, and Operations.
“If we are teaching an absolute syllabus which is far behind the time then it has no meaning. Students will pass out with their degrees but they will be jobless. Teaching should give hands-on training. Experiencing and learning is the key”, Tope said.
While guiding the students, he added, “You should learn life values like morality, ethics, humility and principles. Students nowadays want to be rich quickly through shortcuts. This should not be the approach toward life. You should have apathy towards the poor and be a compassionate and peace-loving human being. Today honesty is the costliest thing. You should be honest to succeed in life.”
PIBM Chairman Raman Preet depicted the journey of the PIBM in his speech and said that the group which made a humble beginning in the year 2007 has grown to five educational institutions and is offering top class education to students from across India. The Institute is also associated with several top business leaders from diverse industries to mentor and train the students. Now he plans to start Skills University as well as Digital University in Pune.
Minister Tope, while addressing the gathering, said, “Come up with the appropriate proposal and I will ensure both universities are established. Digital University has a great future. Maharashtra will be the first state to make this idea into existence.”
The event also saw the presence of eminent business leaders from well-known companies such as Dr. Ritu Anand (Chief Leadership & Diversity Officer – Tata Consultancy Services, Mumbai), Nagaraj Garla (Executive Director – IDBI Bank), Baskar Babu Ramachandran (Co-Founder & CEO – Suryoday Small Finance Bank Limited), and Vivek Sharma (Dy. Managing Director – Polycab India Limited, Mumbai).”
