The license adoption will allow Indian and overseas students to access copyrighted work and quality study material for free 

The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) will make its study material easily accessible for both Indian as well as overseas students by adopting the creative commons licence.

The license has been adopted in alignment with the UNESCO resolution of November 25, 2019 (Paris, France), on Open Educational Resources (OER).

Briefing on the plan, TG Sitharam, chairman, AICTE, says, “This also makes the AICTE study material now open educational resources compliant, which not only respects the intellectual property rights of the copyright owner but also provides permissions granting the public the rights to access, re-use, re-purpose, adapt and redistribute educational materials.”

“Presently, the license has been adopted for second-year books uploaded in e-Kumbh portal in English as well as other Indian Languages. In future, the remaining books of the second, third and fourth year, in English as well as 12 other Indian Languages will also be released under the license,” adds Sitharam.

A Creative Commons License is one of several public copyright licenses that enable free distribution of an otherwise copyrighted work. Besides this, authors are allowed to give other people the right to share, use, and build upon an information infrastructure created by them.

The Institutional NLMs would be deputed for regular monitoring to report on various aspects of the implementation of schemes on half yearly basis.

Services of engineering and technical institutions in Tamil Nadu, which are approved by the All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE), will be sought to implement Institutional National Level Monitors (NLMs) schemes for the Ministry of Rural Development.

The Institutional NLMs would be deputed for regular monitoring to report on various aspects of the implementation of schemes on half yearly basis.

In every allotted district, the Institutional NLM (s) are required to visit 6 villages in the district and they will interact with the beneficiaries to find out the impact of the schemes at the grass-root level.

Ramesh Unnikrishnan, Advisor-II, Policy and Academic Planning Bureau of AICTE said that NLMs are also entrusted with the task of special monitoring of some specific schemes/programmes as and when required.

Accordingly, the Ministry of Rural Development intends to use the services of engineering/technical institutions approved by AICTE as NLM who are interested in third-party monitoring assignments in the rural development sector.

The AICTE official asked interested Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) to work as NLMs by registering online. He said detailed guidelines for NLMs have been issued and uploaded on the website of the Ministry.

He said the Ministry will provide proper orientation and training to Institutional NLMs to make them well-versed with the Guidelines of Programmes and processes involved.

Pharmacy edn may not be part of AICTE

 Source: https://www.thehitavada.com/Encyc/2023/1/30/Pharmacy-edn-may-not-be-part-of-AICTE.html

 Primary Source: https://www.aicte-india.org/

The process of separating Pharmacy education from All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) is in the final stage. Now it will be handled only by Pharmacy Council of India (PCI). According to sources, the Government has in-principle agreed to bring Pharmacy exclusively under the PCI’s ambit. Whenever the decision is implemented, it will benefit Pharmacy education at large.

Pharmacy education was brought under the ambit of AICTE long ago. Though the curriculum, regulations, approval to colleges, etc. were being looked after by PCI, the team of AICTE too visited colleges. Colleges face visits from AICTE and PCI too. In case PCI failed to find lacunae, AICTE team identified deficiencies, submitting negative report or vice versa due to which confusion always reigned supreme. Pharmacy education has technical as well as science aspect. Pharmacy education under science is under PCI, but being technical aspect, it remained under AICTE too. According to some experts of Pharmacy education, this branch should stay with PCI only. PCI, too, has been trying since long to get it separated.

Some teachers, on condition of anonymity, expressed their worries. If Pharmacy gets separated from AICTE, what would happen to PCI funding. At present, a Graduate Pharmacy Aptitude Test (GPAT) qualifier gets a scholarship if the institute is AICTE-approved. If pharmacy comes out of AICTE, how would the scholarship be given as the institute will not have AICTE approval. In 2020, the Apex Court clearly said that PCI would be the supreme body for affiliation for Pharmacy colleges, but the issue of GPAT scholarship was not addressed.

AICTE is getting funds from Government of India for GPAT stipend and research grants. According to sources, PCI is trying to work on how it would get the funds through the Health Ministry. Once pharmacy gets separated, PCI will have complete hold on pharmacy colleges. All pharmacy institutions, their teachers would have to follow a regulation from PCI only. Some pharmacy academicians felt, not having two regulatory bodies is always better.

With few days left for the entrance exam, most of the aspirants would be dealing with anxiety and nervousness. Check exam preparation tips, steps to download the Admit card, and other related details here.

Know Exam Pattern, Syllabus

Consider the GATE exam 2023 to be a war you will soon be fighting. To win, you must know everything about your opponent. The GATE 2023 syllabus and exam pattern are important elements that you should be familiar with before beginning your preparation. The GATE 2023 exam pattern will give you an idea of how the exam will be held. The GATE 2023 syllabus will inform you of the topics and units that you must study. This will aid in coordinating the schedule for the entire preparation period. Candidates should be familiar with the GATE 2023 exam pattern because knowing the types of questions that will be asked in the exam will help them to stress less.

• Examination Mode: Computer Based Test (CBT)
• Types of Questions (a) Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) (b) Multiple Select Questions (MSQ) and/or (c) Numerical Answer Type (NAT)

Fix a Study Schedule

Make a timetable with the subject distribution because working randomly may result in massive confusion at the end.

Revision is Important

While preparing for the exams, it is important to revise all topics daily. As all chapters and subjects are important, hence it is best to divide your time equally for all subjects/ topics instead of focusing only on a couple of them. For any exam, revision acts as an important key factor.

Practice the Previous Year’s Papers and Mock Tests

Solve previous year’s question papers and mock test. Practicing mock tests acts as a great source of revision. This helps students improve their preparation levels. Solving GATE 2023 mock tests regularly can help you analyze your preparation. You will be able to identify your mistakes and weak areas.

Be Calm And Composed

With just a few days left for the GATE exams, it is essential for the students to stay calm and composed. All board exams have always had a ring of anxiety and nervousness on students. It is important that students get the right amount of sleep before the exam. Depriving oneself of sleep can result in fatigue and high-stress level with a drop in concentration level. Indulge in extracurricular activities to refresh yourself during the breaks.

Learn to Manage Time/ Time Management

Because the examination is only three hours long, candidates must be able to manage their time effectively. If time is not managed properly, there is a greater chance that all questions will not be answered by the end of the exam. An excellent way to learn time management is to solve the GATE 2023 mock test within the time limit. This will allow you to practise finishing the exam within the time limit.

Know Your Strengths/ Weakness

Candidates must identify and focus on their weak areas of the GATE syllabus. Continue to practice them until your doubts are cleared. It is best to identify and focus on your strong points during the preparation process. Make sure that the topics in which you are confident are thoroughly studied so that you have a better chance of succeeding. You can also concentrate on getting higher marks in the two mandatory sections of GATE 2023, Engineering Mathematics and Aptitude Test, which will cover basic topics.

GATE 2023 Exam Timing

The examination will be conducted in two sessions. The first session will begin from 9:30 AM and continue till 12:30 PM. Meanwhile, the second session will be held between 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM.

Engineers create Terminator-like robot that can turn into liquid, regain shape

 Source: https://www.businesstoday.in/technology/news/story/engineers-create-terminator-like-robot-that-can-turn-into-liquid-regain-shape-367925-2023-01-28

The robot was developed by a team of engineers and scientists primarily from China. It features a unique design, comprised of interconnected modules of magnetic levitation and soft actuators, enabling it to move in any direction and reshape itself.

 Remember T-1000 from the 1991 blockbuster Terminator 2: Judgment Day? Well, it's real now! Scientists have created a groundbreaking invention – a robotic arm that can reshape itself to fit in tight spaces and then liquefy and regain its original shape. This shape-shifting robotic is the first of its kind and as you can imagine has endless potential applications ranging from search and rescue operations to medical robotics.

The robot was developed by a team of engineers and scientists primarily from China. It features a unique design, comprised of interconnected modules of magnetic levitation and soft actuators, enabling it to move in any direction and reshape itself with impressive flexibility.

It can liquify, allowing it to penetrate through rubble, debris, and other tight spaces. Once it has reached its destination, it can regain its rigid form and perform useful tasks. The arm is also able to change its shape and stiffness depending on the task at hand.

A sea cucumber was one of the inspirations for the project. It can alter the stiffness of their tissues to improve load capacity and limit physical damage. For the actual physical substance, they used magnets and gallium which has a melting point of 29.76 degrees Celsius.

The possibilities of this robotic arm are immense. In search and rescue operations, it can be used to reach victims trapped in hard-to-access places. In the medical field, it could be used to perform delicate tasks with high accuracies, such as surgeries or drug delivery.

Engineer Chengfeng Pan of The Chinese University of Hong Kong told Science Alert, "Giving robots the ability to switch between liquid and solid states endows them with more functionality."

However, there are still ways to go on this becoming a practical robot as aside from the low melting point, Gallium is also well known to corrupt many metals it comes into contact with like Aluminum, Steel, and Copper.

The team of engineers has already performed successful tests with the robotic arm and is now working on making it more durable and powerful. In the future, the team hopes to build a full-sized robotic arm with the same capabilities and see it put to practical use.

With nod to five institutes, state govt initiates implementation of UGC’s Professor of Practice policy

 Source: https://goa.news/with-nod-to-five-institutes-state-govt-initiates-implementation-of-ugcs-professor-of-practice-policy

According to the UGC guidelines, professionals from various fields having considerable years of experience can be appointed as professors in higher education institutions even without formal academic qualifications.

Maharashtra government has initiated implementation of the Professor of Practice policy as directed by the University Grants Commission (UGC) with an objective to provide industry perspective to students in the classroom.

According to the UGC guidelines, professionals from various fields having considerable years of experience can be appointed as professors in higher education institutions even without formal academic qualifications.

The Government Resolution (GR) released earlier this week by the Higher and Technical Education department of Maharashtra has approved five such appointments in government institutions on 10 per cent of the total sanctioned posts.

As part of this, five institutions, namely Institute of Science and Sydenham Institute of Management Studies, Research and Entrepreneurship Education in Mumbai, Institute of Science, Aurangabad, Institute of Science, Nagpur, and Vidarbha Institute of Knowledge Science in Amravati, have been allowed to appoint one Professor of Practice each on their rolls.

The GR stated that candidates must have experience of at least 15 years in various industries such as engineering, science, literature, technology, farming, law and media. The appointment will be made by the institutions following the regular recruitment process, starting with advertisement. The institutions will have to use their own funds for these appointment; the government will not provide any financial assistance in this regard.

The GR stated that the appointment will be for a year, adding a maximum of three years of extension can be allowed based on evaluation every year. These professor would be expected to bring industry linkage and provide industry oriented inputs in the curriculum.

The move has irked the existing professors, though. “It is not like there is a dearth of qualified individuals to be appointed as professors. The government has shown complete apathy in filling up the vacant posts and now senior positions are going to be offered to industry professionals who may not be adequately qualified, not just academically but also in their experience of teaching,” said Dr Tapati Mukhopadhyay, former president of the Maharashtra Federation of University and College Teachers Organisations (MFUCTO).

As per the regular practice, to be appointed as professor, a candidate must have at least 15 years of experience in teaching, apart from academic qualifications of PhD, research work and clearing NET or SET.
A number of members of the academia have criticised the GR for not specifying any other parameter apart from 15 years of experience in the respective industry for appointment of Professor of Practice. This ambiguity, according to them, will lead to appointment of subpar talent in teaching.
