Computer Networking Courses In India

The basic qualification for getting into networking is preferably a Degree / Diploma in Computer Science / Electrical / Electronics / Telecommunication followed by a course in Computer Hardware. People with non-engineering background who possesses good knowledge of Computer fundamentals can also enter this field.

In addition, recruiters prefer certain global certifications. Some of the popular International Certifications available for LAN/WAN Administration are MCSE, UNIX Admin, LINUX Admin, CNE,etc.,Whereas for WAN Administration you need CCNA,CCNP,CCDA,CCDP,CCIE.

Internet Security is an emerging technology in networking, which can be implemented by using Firewalls. A large part of the firewall implementation worldwide is done by Checkpoint/Computer Associates.

However, the most prefered certification is VUE Prometric as it covers most certifications - irrespective of the vendor platform. Coaching facilities for clearing the various online tests for certification are offered at a number of Authorised Training Centres(ATCs) of the company.

Invertis Institute of Management Studies

Invertis Institute of Management Studies, Bareilly, is one of the few professionally run premier institutes in this whole region. The Institute has been continuously striving for excellence in education, training, research and consultancy in the fields of Management and Information Technology with a Mission of Offering Value Based Education . By intensive and meaningful teaching methods as well as regular inputs from practising managers, the Institute grooms its students to excel as future managers and IT professionals, who can compete with the very best in the global arena and cater to the growing demands of the corporate world.

We believe in developing professionals who believe in themselves and are equipped with the latest state of the art in their respective fields; professionals who are confident and can compete in the challenging world. The endeavour is to inculcate a desire for continuous improvement (kaizen), a sense of healthy competition, and sensitivity towards ethical and moral values.

We offer following technical courses :

MBA	Master of Business Administration
MCA	Master of Computer Applications
BCA	Bachelor of Computer Application
BBA	Bachelor of Business Administration

The MBA & MCA Programmes are affiliated to Uttar Pradesh Technical University, Lucknow. These Technical courses are approved by All India Council For Technical Education (AICTE), Ministry Of HRD, Govt. Of India. BBA and BCA programmes are affiliated to C.C.S. University, Meerut. These courses mentioned above are regular courses.

With our team of dedicated faculty and students, we are poised to take our Institute to higher levels we envisaged. Having been successful, we have managed to assume leadership in professional education in this part of the State. It is our endeavour to include many more socially relevant courses in the years to come and to put this Institute among the top few in the country.

It is our constant effort to get rid of the earlier hackneyed method of education and inculcate in our students the best that education can offer. The formal university system is highly loaded with formalities, and in the process, at times; the substance is lost sight of. We strive to get rid of such lacunae in the education system at IIMS.

THE VEDIC MATHS

Even as Delhi University is seriously looking at ways to make its mathematics curriculum interesting, one of the university’s colleges seems to have taken a lead.

Gargi College in South Campus has introduced an add-on course in Vedic Mathematics for the academic year 2007-08 with a view to make maths fun for students. The one-year course will incorporate the ancient and time-tested formula of mathematical knowledge to make the subject interesting.

The concept of Vedic maths, which is widely being used in classrooms across the country, offers a general multiplication method that allows one-line divisions and one-line square roots. This unifying quality, experts feel, makes mathematics easy and encourages innovation.

By introducing the course, Gargi College will be the first college in DU to offer the course. The college is aiming at helping students, especially ones preparing for CAT and banking exams, solve maths quickly.

“As we come across many students who aspire to crack the CAT and Banking Sector Entrances, we believe that such a course will help students speed up their calculations and help them solve equations in a much lesser time than expected,” said Dr Promila Kumar, coordinator for the course.

The simplicity of Vedic Mathematics means that calculations can be carried out mentally (though the methods can also be written down). Pupils of the subject can invent their own methods rather than being limited to the one ‘correct’ method.

The classes for the course will be held once a week for two hours. While course will be open to all students who have enrolled themselves in the college, the admission will be carried out on first-cum-first-serve basis.

“The college is trying to also rope in guest faculty lecturers who are teachers at good institutions that prepare the students for various entrance examinations,” Dr Kumar said.

Gargi’s move highlights a recent trend shaping up in the higher education sector where universities are laying emphasis on holistic methods to impart additional education by way of add-on courses in order to make the curriculum more interactive and innovative.

This is indeed a first for any college in the country and The Vedic Maths Forum India seeks to congratulate the college on its endeavor.

Microsoft University in Bangalore, India For Computer Courses

Microsoft is setting up a university in Bangalore, the Silicon valley of India, to impart computer education.

Though Microsoft does fund education and research projects in many universities across the world, this Bangalore based university will be wholly owned by the software giant and it's first-ever independent educational venture in the world.

TOI says that the Microsoft university may train around 1,000 students and it may well be India's first run by a multinational company.

Microsoft has software development centers both in Bangalore and Hyderabad. Recently, they opened shop in Vancouver, Canada after failing to get more workers in their US office on H1-B visa. Maybe the Microsoft University campus in India may be another step in the same direction - train students as per requirements and then absorb the best of the lot.

THE IIPM PROGRAMME

http://www.iipm.edu/academics-curriculum.html

The IIPM programme is today regarded as the only course with a wider coverage than MBA courses taught anywhere else in the world because of its integration with National Economic Planning and a compulsory Marketing Specialization making it the most intellectually stimulating course in India. In the light of globalization, IIPM aims to create a new generation of entrepreneurial managers, who can face with confidence emerging challenges of international markets, while remaining committed to remove massive poverty masses within a generation. For this, we must achieve a growth rate of 14% and more of the national economy and engineer market extension and social entitlements favouring the bottom 80% of the population. This is essential for corporate growth rate of the same order & more. Future entrepreneurial managers must be aware of this and not remain intellectually handicapped.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

IT courses a passage to India

India has become synonymous with international technology outsourcing. Now Delhi-based training company Koenig Solutions is encouraging Kiwis to go to India to get IT qualifications that are certified by companies such as Microsoft and Cisco.

Koenig offers "boot camp" courses with the option of one-on-one training at a price it claims is half that charged by New Zealand providers.

A Microsoft Certified Software Engineer 2003 course taught one-on-one over 14 to 19 days in Delhi costs US$3050, or $3750 if taught in a group over 50 days. One New Zealand provider was last week advertising the same qualification for $14,800.

Prices include food, transport and accommodation in anything from budget to five star hotels in Delhi, Dehradun, Goa Beach or the Himalayas, but students pay their own way to India.

Chief executive Rohit Aggarwal says 2000 people from the United States, Europe and Australasia - including nine New Zealanders - have taken Koenig's courses since 2001.

Koenig is now represented in New Zealand by Wellington firm IT Projects, which was set up last year by knowledge management consultant Praba Subra. Mr Aggarwal says Koenig has received 32 inquiries from New Zealanders in the past four months.

Mr Subra says the practice of travelling to India for IT training is well-established in Europe and the US, but he expects it to take a while to catch on in New Zealand.

"The first question people usually ask is whether the training is delivered in English" - which it is. "It is hard for people to believe standard training is delivered across the world," he says.

India has also become a hub for "medical tourism" and some students have stayed on for cosmetic or dental surgery, Koenig says on its website.

British newspaper The Guardian is among those to have reported on the phenomenon. Its interviews with students cautioned of "adequate" rather than top-notch technical facilities and the distractions of Goa, but indicated students had found Koenig's courses to be value for money.

Koenig says its pass rate is 95 per cent for Microsoft qualifications and 90 per cent for Cisco's.

Douglas White, chief executive of the New Zealand Computer Society, had not heard of New Zealanders going overseas to gain professional IT qualifications, except when that was arranged by multinationals such as IBM and SAP. But he says it should not matter where people get their qualifications, so long as courses were accredited by vendors.

"Microsoft, for example, is pretty insistent on their providers being consistent."
