An academic exchange programme between the Banaras Hindu University (BHU) and St George’s University of London is likely to begin soon. 
Prof Sean Hilton, the executive head of St George’s University of London, was at BHU on a three-day visit. During his stay, Prof Hilton visited several departments of Institute of Technology, and Institute of Medical Science like pharmacy, bio-chemical, bio-medical. He interacted with the heads and faculty members, showing keen interest in different fields of medicine.
According to the BHU spokesperson, Hilton showed special interest in management of data of clinical investigation, urology, cardiology, ayurveda, trauma centre, prevention of diseases. He visited Sir Sunder Lal hospital and its operation theatres and held a series of discussion with various consultant. Earlier, a meeting was held with BHU vice-chancellor Prof DP Singh. The meeting was also attended by the dean and directors of IMS, IT and Faculty of Sciences.
“It was tentatively agreed upon that British medical students would be trained at BHU and the BHU medical students would be trained at St George’s University of London,” informed Prof Rajesh Singh, the chairman of press publication and publicity cell of BHU. According to him, the BHU V-C recently attended a meeting arranged by the UGC in New Delhi to explore and discuss the area of collaborations with the 15 universities of United Kingdoms, selected by the British Government, and the 15 universities selected by the Government of India.

The UGC assigned the autonomous organisation, National University of Educational Planning and Administration (NUEPA), New Delhi, to make 15 groups of one British University and another Indian University each to explore possible areas of interest. The groups were formed on the university specialisation and mutual interest. In the process, the Banaras Hindu University was grouped with St George’s University of London. According to him, this British University is ranked second best in United Kingdom, particularly in the field of medical sciences, pharmacy, bio-medical, bio-chemical.

The government has assigned NUEPA to provide framework and other necessary details to expedite these 15 collaborations between the Indian and British universities. This effort of the government is being viewed as a serious homework to prepare the platform to accept and meet the challenges in global higher education.

Hello everyone, this is to inform you that I have a calculator CASIO fx991ES (the one which is used for extensive mathematical operations). I am a student of Biology so I dont have anything to do with it. Now you must be wondering that why did I buy that. Actually I bought it as a gift for my younger brother (who is pusuing B.Tech) but unforunately this model wasnt allowed in his college. So I thought of passing to a person who can make its use.

(Students at IT-BHU use this model)

I’ll sell the product a reasonable price (with warranty card and cash memo).

Students Council for this session was appointed (”elected” would be the wrong word) on 11th September 2008. Shubha Verma (pursuing M.Tech at IT BHU) replaced Jhanvi Jalan (last year’s student’s representative). Every student at the university is questioning thinking why a girl again…..
Nobody in the university is unaware of the biasness BHU shows towards girls and this time its evident in the Student Council too.
There may be one more reason. I think that BHU is afraid of giving the top most position to a boy because they are feeling that the situation my run out of control. A Head boy may take few decisions that they may not like (after all unlike girls boys have their own way of thinking). Girls stick to the rules quite well and this must be assuring the administration that the things will virtually be in their hands (this year too).

Though Chetan Bhagat’s “Three Mistakes of My life” is superb, but at some places the story goes typically like bollywood movies. Like in the end, the whole riots narration seems more dramatic. But overall the book leaves a mind blowing impression on readers and Chetan has again proved his writing skills beyond imagination.

On the other hand I think Chetan Bhagat has got a pattern… Sex, boozing and friendship with a scintillating end. This ain’t gonna work. I simply did not get what the author want to send a message to the youth..
You should have sex before marriage -> “Thanks God, I am eighteen and not a virgin” -> Vidya…

During admission the freshers gave a disclaimer that they wont use “mechanized two wheelers” in the campus. As far as I have known “mechanized two wheelers” include bicycles too. Does that mean the students aren’t allowed to ride bicycles as well (along with mobikes) ???

If thats the case then let me tell you freshers you are going to have a very tough time in the university.

Whenever we start something we take the name of God…

The shops outside enhace the charm. But nowadays we get only a limited stuff there..thanks to our ex-VC Prof. Punjab Singh who banned all the junk food, chinese cuisines and cold drinks.
