Q.
I am pursuing a diploma in mechanical engineering. I want to take admission in a degree programme. Which colleges in Bihar offer lateral entry in mechanical engineering? — Arun
A.
The Bihar Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board (BCECEB) allows diploma holders and students in the final year of three-year diploma courses in engineering to apply for entry into the second year of degree programmes in the state’s engineering colleges. There is no age limit for applicants but you need to have a minimum of 60 per cent marks in the diploma course. Application forms and the brochure can be obtained from Canara Bank branches in Bihar. Indira Gandhi National Open University (www.ignou.ac.in), too, offers distance-mode BTech programmes to aspirants with (three-year) diplomas in civil, mechanical, electrical, computer, or chemical engineering or architecture, and employed in relevant fields. Diploma-holders in engineering are also eligible to register in the diploma stream of the AMIE (Associate Membership of the Institution of Engineers) after passing the relevant exams. For more information, check www.ieindia.org. The Institution of Engineers is a professional engineering organisation, which prepares diploma-holders and working people for the Associate Membership Exam (AMIE), which is considered to be at par with BE/BTech and recognised as an eligible qualification to write competitive examinations such as the civil services exam, Indian Engineering Services exam, and the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering and for placement in government, and the public and private sectors.
Q.
I am a BPharm student. Other than MPharm and MBA, which are the different options open to me after graduation? — D Kaur

Pharmacy is the study of different medicinal preparations, their usage and effects in the prevention and cure of diseases. With this background, you can take up further studies in any area of life sciences where such knowledge can be put to use. One field that is closely related to pharmacy is biotechnology, an interdisciplinary science applied to living cells, with the possibility of producing substances and compounds essential to the well being of human beings. Students with a background in any life science, including pharmacy, can get into biotechnology. You may wish to specialise in medical biotechnology which deals with the healthcare and pharmacy sectors, leading to discoveries in this field of drugs, vaccines, diagnostics etc. Medical biotechnologists design new biotech products, develop vaccines and diagnostic tools, and work in the production of biotech products, marketing of biotech products, and so on. Biotechnology applications in the field of medicine have resulted in new antibiotics, vaccines for malaria, and improved ways of producing insulin. Diagnostic tests for serious genetic diseases such as hereditary cancers, diabetes and Huntington’s chorea have been developed through biotechnology, as well as ways of detecting and treating AIDS. Prominent institutions that offer MSc programmes in biotechnology include: * Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), New Delhi * Jamia Hamdard, New Delhi, * Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar * Banaras Hindu University,Varanasi * GB Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pant Nagar(UP) JNU holds a combined entrance test for MSc programmes conducted by various institutes. Other related fields after pharmacy are food technology, environment sciences, hospital administration or even pharmaceutical management.
Q.
I am a senior software engineer in a multinational company. I am an MCA with six years’ experience. I wish to become a lecturer in computer science in a good university. Is a doctorate mandatory to qualify as a lecturer or will clearing the National Eligibility Test (NET) do? Also, will my industry experience be counted? — Nitin Garg
A.
You can sit for the NET if you have 55 per cent marks in your MCA from a University Grants Commission (UGC)-recognised university. Candidates who have at least 55 per cent marks (without rounding off) in a Master’s degree or equivalent examination in humanities (including languages) and social sciences, computer science and applications, electronic science etc from universities/ institutions recognised by the UGC are eligible for this test. The NET is held twice a year in June and December, and the application forms are published in Employment News. Those with an MPhil degree in the concerned subject are exempted from the NET for undergraduate (UG) level teaching only. However, a PhD degree in the relevant discipline exempts you from the NET for both UG- and postgraduate-level teaching. The syllabus for all the subjects is available in the libraries of all Indian universities as well as on www.ugc.ac.in.
