New Upcoming Colleges Flaunt Upgraded Facilities

Some fifteen years back, a regular degree course in the field of arts, science or commerce had much value as compared to today. Well, the reason behind this big change is the gaining popularity of professional courses. The professional courses have been playing a crucial role in the Indian education and training arena. Today instead of enrolling themselves to regular BA, B.Com or B.Sc courses students prefer to study BBA, BCA or any such vocational degree courses in Information Technology (IT), Computer Science, Bio Technology, etc. Despite comparatively higher fee structure, the popularity of professional courses has been growing by leaps and bounds in India.

Admission processes continue to be rigorous in most colleges and universities today and typically the top colleges and institutes witness a massive rush of applicants. Since everyone wants to join a premier and prestigious college, they many a time ignore other new and upcoming institutes which are providing equally good, if not better, education and training.

The new and upcoming technical and management institutes especially are racing against each other in offering high quality professional courses which open up better employment opportunities for the students in future. Moreover, it has been noticed that during campus interviews, firms and companies seek students from professional courses, preferably with a specialization in a particular discipline.

There are several disciplines in which professional courses are offered such as Computer Science, Business Management, MBA, Teaching, Academic Courses, Law Courses, Medical & Pharma, Accounts & Finance, Event Management Courses, Engineering, Technical, Media & Entertainment Language Courses, Hotel Management, PhD and Research, Travel & Tourism Management etc.

Plus, new courses are being introduced almost every year. The professional courses in India can be of different durations such as short-term, long-term, part-time or full time courses. The courses can be classified in different categories such as degree, certificate or diploma courses.

Today the education and training sector is growing so rapidly that every urban and semi-urban region boasts of technical and management training institutes. From the metros to the suburbs, from the Tier-II cities to smaller towns and the highways, the Indian landscape is becoming dotted with newly developed institutes that boast of a wide campus area, modern infrastructure, state of the art facilities and teaching aids and qualified faculties.

There are some essential eligibility criteria through which the students need to pass before they can enroll themselves in the professional courses. These criteria are designed to ensure that only students who are capable of undergoing the rigorous training involved in these courses should be admitted.

Hence, when you are choosing your training institute, don't limit your choice to just the historically prestigious colleges or the branded ones. There are plenty of more choices available which provide equally good training and career opportunities

Back to School College List - 5 Must Haves For College Living

If this is the year that back to school means sending your baby to college for the first or last time, or some year in between, you surely continue to be on the look out for those things that will help your child have the best experience possible - both academically and health wise.

There are an endless number of things that you can send with your student, but sending these 5 items can have a wonderfully positive effect on the success your student will experience this year!

Wireless Handheld Devices - Even though leaving for college space (both physically and figuratively) between you and your child, a phone for calls and text messaging, a Blackberry, a laptop, or all of the above make it easy and more likely that you will keep in reasonable contact with your child.

These are all also good in emergencies that may arise far away from the usual sources of help. Most of these devices have GPS (global positioning system) embedded so that locating them can be done quickly and accurately should your child become stranded in a really remote location.

Compact Refrigerator - Many companies now rent these by the semester or school year which means enjoying the convenience without having to transport it back and forth between home and school. Refrigeration makes it easy for your student to stock up on fresh fruits and vegetables, and healthier alternatives to sodas that are often high in sugar, salt, and other additives.

Over the Counter Medication and Toiletries - Having a small supply of medications on hand for minor problems such as headaches, stomach upset, cuts, scrapes, burns, congestion, colds and coughs can help take care of problems while they're small. A thermometer, either old fashioned or high tech is a good thing to have handy as well. Having these items on hand is always more convenient and often less expensive.

Desk and Supplies - Check to determine whether a desk and chair are provided in the room. If not, ask for the size of the space to insure that the desk you choose will fit. Send the usual supplies such as a printer, paper, stapler, staples, pens, markers, and highlighters to insure a well prepared student. A lamp that provides light on the desk but does not light the entire room will go a long way towards changing a roommate to a friend.

Housekeeping Items - At least 2 sets of bed linens, blankets, rugs, curtains, posters and wall art, TV, DVD player, radio alarm clock will make for a seamless adjustment to college life.

One of the most important items every college dorm room should have is an air purifier. With the increase of number of people college students are exposed to, the number of viruses and germs that are airborne and available for inhalation and/or ingestion are staggering.

With the ongoing threat of viruses like Swine Flu (H1N1), removing airborne pollutants to which many viruses attach to in the air is a proactive way to increase your student's chances of staying healthy.
