Turning more student-friendly in view of the prevailing <keyword id="1754604" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="coronavirus">coronavirus</keyword> induced lockdown, International Institute of Information Technology Hyderabad (IIIT-H) has decided to conduct the spring 2020 semester entirely online. It also decided to do away with formal final examinations and instead distribute its weightage to less stressful and more hands-on components like assignments, projects, quizzes, reports, etc. IIIT-Hyderabad director <keyword id="9101597" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="prof-p-j">Prof P.J</keyword>. Narayanan said this strategy was adopted to conclude the semester quickly to remove the cloud of the lockdown and the weight of the semester's courses from the students' heads. He said this would allow graduating students not to worry unnecessarily about delays. "Conducting long final exams is tricky if done online, considering the highly variable situations the students may find themselves in where they are. Evaluations based on more hands-on application of concepts will stress students less, though the work on the teachers may increase. Undesirable sharing is possible for such work, but we adopted it. It is good to not obsess excessively about every possible violation, as long as serious and hard-working students get their due," Narayanan said. The institution has also decided to award a W (or Withdraw) grade in place of an F (or Fail) grade for courses. Both serve the same purpose as the student must meet the requirements later, said the institution. Students will be awarded only A, B, C, and W grades for courses, leaving out A-, B-, C-, and D grades. He noted that the online classes commenced on March 23 and are held for nearly all courses, and attendance in them is around 80 per cent which is on par with the institute's normal average. The faculty members have adopted their teaching style to suit the online requirements. "The institute used that week to test and train the faculty on the various technological solutions out there, Microsoft's cloud-based solutions for email and other services we had adopted earlier. That included a supported version of Teams, a tool suitable to run online classes. A big plus was the ability to record the classes including audio, video, slides, digital blackboards, etc. Students could access the video later even if they couldn't attend the live classes. Faculties were requested to keep notes and other study material on the LMS platform Moodle for students to access at will," he said "We are aware that a small fraction of the students has poor to no access to <keyword id="1435882" type="DOMAIN" weightage="20" keywordseo="online-technologies">online technologies</keyword>. However, an overwhelming majority of the students are highly comfortable with technology and have adequate access." The institute's academics team and tech-support team worked hard to train the faculty, who reciprocated enthusiastically. "Students who could not take part meaningfully in the online phase of the courses due to poor connectivity, sickness to self or family etc will be evaluated separately whenever it is safe. A combination of alternate evaluation and grading methods will be employed for them with a combination of assignments, projects, oral examinations, reports, etc. They will not be disadvantaged in any manner by this," Prof. Narayanan said. Stating that cooronavirus shocked and seriously disturbed everyone including the educational institutions, he noted that most of the institutions including IIIT-H could send the students back safely in the middle of March when the alarm of transmission was low enough. "It was quite clear to us that the students weren't coming back for at least two months. Nearly all regions of the country need to be safe, and travel has to be safe before students return. Running the semester in an online mode was the only option, if it was feasible." He is confident that the ongoing spring semester will be concluded completely by the end of May.

IIITs in Vadodara, Kota, Chittoor, Guwahati and Tiruchirappalli to get their degrees this year itself. As per ET, the human resource development ministry has already moved the ordinance proposal to the law ministry. Once cleared by the law ministry, it will be taken to the Cabinet and then to the President for approval. Of the 20 IIITs planned to be established on PPP mode, 15 are already functional. “There has been a lot of pressure since last year to address the issue as job prospects of hundreds of students will be affected in the absence of a proper degree. However, the bill was held up last year amid differences between PMO and <keyword id="51613" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="hrd-ministry">HRD ministry</keyword> over the level of autonomy to the institutes and the need to expedite the legislation,” sources told ET.

An otherwise peaceful campus has been marred by protests for the past week as several angry PhD and MTech students of <keyword id="666989" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="IIT-Indore">IIT Indore</keyword> are raising their voice against exorbitant hike in fees. 
 
Their reaction comes after the premier institute’s administration sent an email to students asking them to pay fee as per increased structure. It sparked outrage when students learnt that the tuition fee was increased from Rs 8,350 to Rs 19,900, almost a 130% hike in fees- highest being charged by any IIT in the country. The Reason – Because IIT Indore had increased the fellowship amount. 
 
Enraged students then took to Twitter to highlight what they called was an unfair step by IIT-Indore, as they had joined the institute much before the hike was enforced and claimed they had no reasons to pay higher fees to the institute. Following the incident, several students claimed to have been harassed by top management officials. 
 
When their demand to rollback the hike fell on deaf ears, students decided to boycott classes and resort to sloganeering. 
 The protesting students are also now being backed by <keyword id="6361618" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="ABVP">ABVP</keyword> – BJP’s youth wing. Efforts have been made to reach out to MHRD officials and Union HRD minister <keyword id="119642" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Prakash-Javadekar">Prakash Javadekar</keyword>, however, students claim they have got no response whatsoever. Even as no breakthrough has come in the case so far, they are now threatening to organize protests on a much larger scale if the institute fails to concede to their demands.

Why student protests have erupted in a peaceful IIT Indore campus

The premier technological education institutes, <keyword id="55119" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian-Institute-of-Technology">Indian Institute of Technology</keyword> (IIT) is going international. No not by expanding the campuses but inviting foreign nationals to be a part of the programmes.

"Foreign candidates will have to qualify the JEE advanced examination for an IIT seat. The Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) for entry to MTech courses will be held in these six countries as well," an official informed the Economic Times.

 Also, 20,000 more candidates will be eligible to write the exam after clearing JEE main, thus taking the total number to 2,20,000. The examination will be held in six countries outside India - Ethiopia, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, UAE, Nepal and <keyword id="6356662" type="COUNTRY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Singapore">Singapore</keyword>. The number of foreign students can't exceed 10% of the total seats in each course offered by the IITs and ISM-Dhanbad, as per the news report on the ET. There is no quota in this category. Also the cut-off for the aggregate marks in Class XII for SC and ST candidates has been reduced from 70% to 65% in JEE advanced 2017.

Now foreign students can enrol
in IITs with just one entrance examination

After working with a slew of <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=startup">startups</a>, <keyword id="91242" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="amitava-ghosh">Amitava Ghosh</keyword> has joined <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=snapdeal">Snapdeal</a> as vice president-engineering and will lead development of intuitive technology solutions.

 Before joining <keyword id="541988" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="SnapDeal">Snapdeal</keyword>, Ghosh was the chief technology officer at <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=taxiforsure">TaxiForSure</a>.

<keyword id="2060230" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="On-demand-music-streaming-service">On-demand music streaming service</keyword> <keyword id="1969101" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Dhingana">Dhingana</keyword>.com has shut shop, finally. For some time now, rumours were rife that the company was restructuring its operations and Soundbox was the first to report that Dhingana could be quitting the game soon. 
 
When we visited the site today, a short message was up there that said: Goodbye! We hope that you enjoyed listening to Dhingana as much as we enjoyed building it. But alas, all good things must come to an end. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for letting us be a part of your musical moments! -- The Dhingana Team 
 It is the second <keyword id="1368003" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="music-streaming-service">music streaming service</keyword> to shut shop within the span of three months. In November last year, Network18-owned In.com shut down its music offering as it could not meet the cost to content and monetisation was not adequate to continue the business. With Dhingana’s closure, the <keyword id="4627" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Indian-Music">Indian music</keyword> market will just have three major players in this space – Times Internet’s <keyword id="-77" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="gaana">Gaana</keyword>, Tiger Global-backed <keyword id="2060236" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Saavn">Saavn</keyword> and <keyword id="18898" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Hungama">Hungama</keyword>, which is extensively supported by <keyword id="17191" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="T-series">T-Series</keyword> content. 
 
Surprisingly, Dhingana has not given any specific reason for the sudden shutdown. Last we checked, its <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dhingana.free.app">mobile app</a> was up at Google Play Store. 
 One key reason could be T-Series withdrawing its music from Dhingana. T-Series said it was parting ways as there was very little traction on the Dhingana platform, compared to other services. So it is quite possible that a <keyword id="2060242" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Content-crunch">content crunch</keyword> or <keyword id="2060241" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Revenue-crunch">revenue crunch</keyword> has driven the company to withdraw its services. 
 “We were not able to see much traction in the service and secondly we couldn’t agree on the commercials and both parties thus decided to part ways in an amicable manner,” <keyword id="2060251" type="POSITION" weightage="80" keywordseo="T-Series-president">T-Series president</keyword> <keyword id="835320" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Neeraj-Kalyan">Neeraj Kalyan</keyword> told TechCrunch at the time of the break-up. 
 Set up in 2007 by twin brothers Swapnil and <keyword id="1317460" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Snehal-Shinde">Snehal Shinde</keyword>, Dhingana essentially operated from the US although the company had an India office in Pune. It was a popular music service and claimed to have more than 9 million unique users per month while more than 50% users accessed the service from the US and Europe. Dhingana offered a library of 1 million-plus songs, in more than 42 Indian languages and genres. 
 The company was backed by VC investors such as <keyword id="455799" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Lightspeed-Venture-Partners">Lightspeed Venture Partners</keyword>, <keyword id="309606" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="Helion-Venture-Partners">Helion Venture Partners</keyword> and <keyword id="683320" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Inventus-Capital-Partners">Inventus Capital Partners</keyword>, and had raised $7 million in Series B <keyword id="6357455" type="EVENT" weightage="100" keywordseo="Funding">funding</keyword> in October 2012. Lightspeed led that round while existing investors Inventus and Helion also participated in the funding. 
 In spite of growing competition, Dhingana had gone ahead with its growth plans last year and tied up with <keyword id="2060229" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="General-Mobile-Corporation">General Mobile Corporation</keyword> (G-Mobi) to pre-install its <keyword id="683603" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="music-app">music app</keyword> on 1 million devices. This would have enabled Dhingana’s <keyword id="956764" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="Android-app">Android app</keyword> to be installed on Intex, Zen, Hitech, m-Tech and Maxx devices. The company also partnered with <keyword id="6354924" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Idea-Cellular">Idea Cellular</keyword> for a music subscription service, which allows users to download unlimited music with no data charges. The service was to be made available to Idea users using <keyword id="6355645" type="COMPANY" weightage="80" keywordseo="android">Android</keyword> smartphones and WAP feature phones. In a bid to monetise its mobile content, Dhingana came up with a paid subscription service for its <keyword id="75489" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="IOS">iOS</keyword> app, called <keyword id="2060249" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Dhingana-Gold">Dhingana Gold</keyword>. 
 With so many growth and monetisation plans in place, it is still unclear why Dhingana had to bite the dust and go <keyword id="1909965" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="100" keywordseo="out-of-business">out of business</keyword> so suddenly.
