But suppose a person has a good gate score but a poor academic performance in UG (say 70% aggregate) but has done a lot of side projects and internships, also published on national as well as international level, will that person lose his/her chance due to the marksheet?<br /><br />I ask this because I am myself struggling to score any thing above that (I am in my fourth semester right now) but already have one internship at a good company and one publication at international conference proceeding (and hopefully one on in an international journal). (you may look at my published paper here www.lifeasparesh.in, I know its just a position paper but stil...). I believe such initiatives increase my credibility of doing research and as I am targeting a M.Sc(eng) this should be a plus point.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05648331639903286765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6061089355607754501.post-22577885583626682072010-01-27T16:29:30.040+05:302010-01-27T16:29:30.040+05:30Dear Sir,

I fail to understand why a good faculty should not be selected even when there are other faculty members in the departments with similar interests. In fact, we have lost quite a number of good candidates due to this, despite my strong objections. <br /><br />In US, I can understand the department looks for niche areas because of funding issues. I think, in India, we should simply take the best irrespective of the research area.<br /><br />GiridharGiri@iischttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11819278945207995261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6061089355607754501.post-4451960289348539892009-12-22T17:01:10.361+05:302009-12-22T17:01:10.361+05:30It is unfortunate that a faculty candidate with ve...It is unfortunate that a faculty candidate with very good credentials may not be selected when there are enough number of faculty members in the department with similar research interests.

In the last two years, there was a special drive to take lecturers who are SC or ST. However, IISc may take lecturers but I really doubt whether they will take someone without any postdoc experience.Giri@iischttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11819278945207995261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6061089355607754501.post-88340661970852165502009-12-18T11:33:48.672+05:302009-12-18T11:33:48.672+05:30Hi,

Could you please throw some light on the lecturer positions which I found on the iisc website. <br /><br />http://www.iisc.ernet.in/content_facultyinfohowtoapply.html<br /><br />Can you tell me if a fresh phd can apply to this position? A reader commented that generally only SC/ST candidates are taken as lecturers? Is that true? I think you haven't discussed about lecturer position in your earlier posts. Your reply could be greatly helpful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
