After that I joined Wipro and currently pursuing MS program (4 years) in Computer Science Engineering. I am having a current CGPA of 8.4 and I will complete course by December, 2010. It is a work integrated course and we have regular classes running in every weekend in Wipro campus. All the faculties are from good Engineering Colleges around Bangalore and few of them are from Industries.<br />I am very much interested to take up research in computer science area.<br />Please answer my few queries.<br />1. Whether my MS is considered for research program in India (IISc/IIT’s etc)?<br />Following questions are valid only if the answer for the above question is yes.<br />2. Can I write GATE? Do I have eligibility for the same?<br />3.

I agree that IIsc faculty are 100% honest....but "lower ranking" government institutes might follow IISc in future. Then the admission process will not be "transparent" enough.<BR/><BR/>Therefore, the only way to assess the caliber is from a "entrance test" and interview (to see the commitment to science).<BR/>The "selected" candidate might be offered a JRF for limited "trial" period. <BR/><BR/>Your suggestions are useful when interviewing students who have finished their Masters degree.<BR/><BR/>This was just my view. Since I am just a graduate student, my opinions might not be correct entirely.<BR/><BR/>- <BR/>VenkatVenkathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18024837293369229902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6061089355607754501.post-49105443206846609622009-03-30T10:25:00.000+05:302009-03-30T10:25:00.000+05:30I instead lobby that students be required to apply...I instead lobby that students be required to apply with a few letters of recommendation, and a detailed resume with special emphasis on the research papers they have published/presented in international/national conferences/journals. In addition, applicants should write a detailed essay explaining their purpose for graduate education and if possible write a short 200 word research proposal in the same essay.<BR/><BR/>You can use some examination to help you guide in first round of elimination or in tie-breaking. But no matter what (whether you adopt the GRE or GATE or a mix of the two as you suggested or an IQ test) exams should only be a tie-breaker - not the decision maker. For this reason it does not matter what you test. You can even have a simple IQ test and that could be a tie-breaker. Let us grow beyond tests and instead of bickering about what to test, we should learn to identify talent on the basis of ability for research.<BR/><BR/>The undergraduate university the applicant attended and the AICTE accreditation of the university could also be a good filtering mechanism. If you think that a 8.5 CGPA from a smaller university is worse than a 5.5 CGPA in IITs, then that means we need a stronger system of accreditation. The top US universities don't admit Indian students that went to schools graded below B+ by the AICTE. That in itself is a good filtering process.<BR/><BR/>I don't see the need to normalize everyone's marks in undergraduate education and then pick the best. The sensible thing to do is to pick smart motivated applicants with research interest who come with a convincingly good educational background (i.e. went to a good school)<BR/><BR/>I would not say that this should be the only channel of admission. Some applicants and aspirants may have attended very poorly accredited schools. To give them an opportunity use GATE as an examination for them. Some applicants may be working in DRDO or ISRO or in industry and may want to pursue a master's or PhD at your schools. They should have a separate admission criterion. This way, you divide your problem of selection.<BR/><BR/>There is no special need to select only the top 20 scorers in an examination, who can't even write a good conference paper in one year of graduate school, let alone during bachelor's. It is better to select a larger number of reasonably intelligent students and make them all produce state of the art research work.Balaji Ramasubramanianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15372550243170868555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6061089355607754501.post-60380369064347800122009-03-29T00:37:00.000+05:302009-03-29T00:37:00.000+05:30Dear Sir,I agree with your views.
