The culture of brain drain that had taken India by storm in the 90s and post millennium is seeing a reverse trend these days. Well settled NRIs are getting back to their roots and investing in start ups to make things easier back home. 
 
One of them is Suman Nandy, whose solution has come as a breather for those educational institutes seeking accreditation from reputed organization, is going places. 
 
Nandy's EPaathSala focusses on simplified educational compliance management as per a news report by The Economic Times. Accreditation refers to the process of evaluation of higher institutes and colleges, a mandatory practice across the globe. An institute is graded on multiple parameters such as prevalence of infrastructure, staff training, student learning and registrar activities, and presented with a grade, or in India a cumulative grade point average out of four. 
 
The evaluation, usually done by governmental and/or non-governmental institutions, plays a key role in student admissions, getting grants and campus placements by companies. The higher the grade or grade-point average, the better for the college and its students. 
"It is the need of the hour. With thousands of colleges in the country, there is no organised and time-effective method of completing the processes for accreditation, which are crucial to both the college and its students," Nandy whose company counts nearly 400 colleges as clients in less than a year of its launch told the ET. 
The list includes St Xaviers College, Don Bosco Institute of Technology and Pune-based College of Military Engineering. 
 
Nandy said that while there is no dearth of autonomous bodies in India that dole out merit, the National Assessment and Accreditation Council or NAAC under the University Grants Commission (UGC) of India is the most sought after organisation. The NAAC accreditation is valid for five years, after which the college has to resume the processes of applying and receiving the accreditation again. 
 
"What took close to a year can now be done in a week's time," Mohammed Hanif, senior professor, placement cell coordinator and former coordinator of the Internal Quality Assessment Cell Coordinator (IQAC), in charge of preparing and submitting the report to NAAC, at St Xaviers College, Kolkata has told the financial agency. 
 
The Self Study Report (SSR) is the main document which involves faculty staff and students to fill in details about their progress and academic excellence, prepared automatically, as and when the details are filled, a process that was done manually so far," said Hanif, who has helped several tier two and three colleges go about their accreditation process with the company's software.

"There is a shortage of manpower in areas like Big Data and that is a need that we are looking at meeting," he said. 
 
Students who have graduated in courses like statistics, economics, mathematics and econometrics will be eligible for applying for this course. Each college would have about 30 students for this course. 
 
"For next year, we are looking at partnering engineering colleges to add Big Data to MTech courses and go big from year three. We have seen a lot of enthusiasm from students for these courses," he said.

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"></div></div></div>The 2017 NCAA men's basketball tournament is around the corner, which means time is running out to complete your bracket and then drive yourself crazy obsessively tinkering with your picks. It wouldn't be March Madness, of course, if there weren't at least a few Cinderella teams that will invariably come out of nowhere and knock off some big-name programs in the early rounds.That random 11-seed from the Big South, say, is always the one you curse as you tear up your bracket and vow to not do this again next year.Luckily, this year we've got you covered - for the first round, anyway. With the help of several college basketball experts around the internet, we narrowed in on five first-round upset picks that will put you well on your way to winning your office pool. Of course, there is a reason these are upset picks, so tread carefully and please don't take this as gospel. Below are our five favorite upset picks. <h3>No. 10 Wichita State over No. 7 Dayton</h3>The college hoops world can't understand how the tournament committee settled on a 10-seed for Wichita State, a program that's been among college basketball's best and most consistent over the past five years. This year, <a href="http://kenpom.com/blog/">KenPom</a> has the Shockers ranked eighth - not in their quarter of the draw but in the entire tournament. With that in mind, Wichita State seems like as safe an upset pick as you can find. Plus, <a href="http://kenpom.com/blog/">KenPom gives</a> them a 75% chance of reaching the second round, which really only means this qualifies as an upset pick because of the mysterious seeding. <h3>No. 11 Rhode Island over No. 6 Creighton</h3>Creighton lost their best player, point guard Mo Watson, midway through the season and have been a completely different team without him (18-1 with Watson; 7-8 without him). Rhode Island, on the other hand, enters the tournament on a hot streak - winners of eight straight and 12 of their last 14. As such, the <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fancy-stats/wp/2017/03/12/2017-ncaa-tournament-the-most-likely-upsets-for-the-first-round/?tid=a_inl&amp;utm_term=.5a62cd7ec822">Washington Post's advanced metrics</a> give Rhode Island a 35.9% chance of an upset. <a href="http://www.si.com/college-basketball/2017/03/14/march-madness-cinderella-rankings-upset-picks">Sports Illustrated</a> likes the Rams' chances even more, with a 41% chance of an upset. <h3>No. 11 Xavier over No. 6 Maryland</h3>Maryland has cooled off lately, and will be without their starting big-man, Michal Cekovsky. There's not a ton of bench depth for the Terps, which could potentially mean trouble against a scrappy Xavier squad. <a href="http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2697369-tournament-2017-ranking-the-most-likely-upsets-in-round-of-64">As Bleacher Report explained:</a>"[Xavier is] a rugged post team that sit 20th in the nation with a 6.6 rebounding margin, per <a href="http://www.ncaa.com/stats/basketball-men/d1/current/team/151" target="_blank">NCAA stats</a>. They can also play zone defense, which isn't good for the aforementioned cold-shooting Terps."Xavier has struggled through its own injury problems this season, but <a href="http://www.si.com/college-basketball/2017/03/14/march-madness-cinderella-rankings-upset-picks">SI still likes their odds</a> - a 54.9% chance of beating the Terps. <h3>No. 12 Middle Tennessee St. over No. 5 Minnesota</h3>Middle Tennessee is dynamite in transition (a top-5 team in the country), and plays a variety of stingy defenses. As <a href="http://www.si.com/college-basketball/2017/03/14/march-madness-cinderella-rankings-upset-picks">SI noted</a>, they'll often show a variety of different defensive schemes over the course of a game: a man-to-man heavy on switching, a 2-3 zone, a trapping 1-3-1 zone, and more. Also, Middle Tennessee is led by a point guard named Giddy Potts. If that's not enough of a reason to pick Middle Tennesse here, what is?<h3>No. 12 UNC Wilmington over No. 5 UVA</h3>Hey, why not? Wilmington and UVA exist on completely opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to basketball identity. UVA is the best defensive team in the country, plays at a slower pace than anyone, and typically just grinds games away without much offensive pizzazz. Wilmington, meanwhile, is an offensive juggernaut and plays at a dizzying pace. <a href="http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2697369-tournament-2017-ranking-the-most-likely-upsets-in-round-of-64">From Bleacher Report:</a>"They are 10th nationally with 85 points per game and 18th in adjusted <a href="http://www.kenpom.com/index.php?s=RankAdjOE" target="_blank">offensive efficiency</a>, per KemPom. Behind point guard C.J. Bryce and with a pretty athletic squad, the Seahawks could make hay running on the Cavs. Easier said than done against an ACC team that prides itself on never letting the other team get behind it, but still."Will Wilmington get the job done? Who knows! That's the fun of March Madness. Enjoy the tournament, everyone. <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/michael-jordan-makes-spends-billion-money-sports-basketball-sneakers-air-nba-golf-private-jet-2017-3">How Michael Jordan - the highest-paid athlete of all time - makes and spends his $1.1 billion</a></h3> <div> <div> <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="g2eTk3YTE6nNCKvnhT_JWUP6tMR1KEI4" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div> </div> </div> </div>
