No gloom here, job-seekers are having a field day Report says recruitment scene in India looking bright, market set to clock in a compounded annual growth rate of 20% in the next 5 years

No gloom here, job-seekers are having a field day

Report says recruitment scene in India looking bright, market set to clock in a compounded annual growth rate of 20% in the next 5 years

The India story remains robust, as far as human resources go.
The local recruitment and human resource (HR) services industry will post a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of almost 20% in the next five years, says a report by the Executive Recruiters Association (ERA) in association with global consulting firm Ernst & Young (E&Y).
The sectoral size will race to the `55,700 crore milestone, given the rapid growth of the market from a highly fragmented and unorganised sector to a structured and organised industry.
The industry size currently stands at `22,800 crore, dominated by talent acquisition in the form of recruitment, temporary staffing and executive search. The best part is it has been growing at a CAGR of 21% for the last four years — from 2008 to 2011.
Vipul Varma, chairman, ERA, thinks that HR services and recruitment have come of age and may see a wave of consolidation with the entry of multi-national companies (MNCs) and emergence of new models like recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) and managed services.
“HR consultants are now increasingly being viewed as partners in an organisation’s growth strategy rather than just being vendors. The search market is growing on the back of expansion and diversification plans by domestic and international companies across sectors. This apart, recruitment as a practice is evolving from an unstructured and fragmented ecosystem to players adopting new norms of productivity and efficiency,” said Verma, while marking out key industry growth drivers. ERA is a non-profit chamber of commerce representing Indian executive recruitment consulting firms.
The report also highlighted that more and more companies are pouring into the temporary staff model due to growing business complexity and talent challenges. This approach allows them to go for smaller bench strength to tackle mounting global economic uncertainties.
Amit Zutshi, partner, Ernst & Young Transaction Advisory Services practice, offers some useful insights. He is of the opinion that the Indian economic, social and cultural landscape is in an unprecedented state of flux.
“The need for solutions for complex problems of growth, innovation, and professionalisation is driving the opportunity for the HR solutions industry in a way that has never been seen before,” said Zutshi.
Coming to the professional staffing market in India, IT and engineering sectors, along with increased staffing, may play a decisive role, moving forward. Growth in key user industries such as retail, ITeS and telecom, and large companies shifting to the organised space are likely to add momentum to general staffing.
Reeling off some statistics, Bijou Kurien, president and chief executive, Lifestyle, Reliance Retail, said: “The $450 billion Indian retail sector employs 35 million people across traditional and modern retail. Retail is the second-largest employment generator after agriculture sector and modern trade will create 18 million new jobs by 2022. Approximately, 75% of these people will be required in the front end.”
Pradeep Dhar, CMD, Vitasta Consulting Pvt, feels temporary staffing is getting bigger especially with IT, ITeS and a few other services industries like hotels, food and catering businesses.

Payroll outsourcing is also picking up big time with domestic and international companies operating in India as it’s considered a complex and non-core activity. The other notable aspect here is attrition. While players in the IT industry put it at 12-13%, the figure actually tends to go up to as high as 20%. Of the whole lot, RPO has been identified as an emerging concept in the Indian recruitment and HR services industry.

Ranked No 3, Mumbai varsity is growing fast

Ranked No 3, Mumbai varsity is growing fast

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgybAZ6-aijyrpk3_miGQvTuM20oHgs8Ld-sCXCTEGiSuMZasqmuwGKg_048jqoLmV8Y-6okXsRiv25OeWpvTSK7ERJO__dZ8gx7gChpApPh5vNCv1IZpdtYrlVW2lauYv0QaQvmhOAmGc/s400/Rajabai-Tower-Mumbai-University.jpg


Established in 1857, the University of Mumbai (MU) is today affiliated with 650 colleges and has more than 6.5 lakh students. One of the biggest in India, MU is now poised to become one of the best, according to a Zee TV-DNA-Ipsos survey.
The survey, which is based on many factors, including infrastructure, faculty, quality of education, placement and alumni, has found that MU, which has a presence in five districts, is just third in order of significance, after Delhi University (DU) and Jawarharlal Nehru University (JNU).
“But we should not compare University of Mumbai with DU and JNU. JNU is a central university and DU is a state university. But being in Delhi, it is almost enjoying the status of a central university. In that way, I think the University of Mumbai is the No 1 state university in India,” said Dr Abhay Pethe, professor of economics at University of Mumbai.
After a rough patch lasting 3-4 years due to an empty vice-chancellor’s post, MU is now on the fast track. In the academic year 2011-12, the university has implemented a credit-based semester system across all the undergraduate courses. The system, covering over 1 lakh students at the first year graduation level, is the largest in India.
Research grants have started flowing in again, while the number of fellowships has also increased. Universities of Israel, China, Germany have signed MoUs with the university.
Dr Pethe said, “History and reputation has played a bigger role in the University of Mumbai’s rank. Also we have some good affiliated colleges like JBIMS, St Xavier’s, HR and many other others who are doing good work from education to placement. The varsity is being rated on all these factors. However, it still has to improve a lot. We should take this news with a pinch of salt.”
“I don’t agree with the survey. I have visited JNU, DU and Pune University many times. They are far ahead in research projects, number of fellowships, quality of education and even their administrative system. The University of Mumbai needs to work hard to reach their level,” said Sanjay Vairal, senate member, University of Mumbai.

IIT-B still Number 1 Survey places city institute behind IIT-Kanpur, but it is still first choice for 70 of 100 top students, finds JEE rankings

IIT-B still Number 1
Survey places city institute behind IIT-Kanpur, but it is still first choice for 70 of 100 top students, finds JEE rankings


The news that the Indian Institute of Technology-Bombay (IIT-B) is placed second to IIT-Kanpur, according to the latest Zee News-DNA-Ipsos survey conducted to rank engineering institutes in the country, has received mixed reactions.
The survey was conducted by Zee News, which commissioned the world’s third-ranked research agency Ipsos to carry out the extensive study.
“The ranking is fair enough. We are one of the top institutes in India,” said Devang Khakhar, director of IIT-B.
“But, while we are happy at this position, we have also been engaged in activities to assist other institutes to excel. There
are several initiatives running at the institute which are targeted mainly towards non-IIT engineering institutes such as providing training to their faculty and making IIT-B faculty lectures available for non-IIT students.”
Providing tips on how other institutes can grow too, Khakhar said: “It is actually a kind of planning that any institute
needs to do individually, based on the factors that will contribute to the development.”
But, Bakul Desai, member of the board of directors of the IIT-B Alumni Association, did not agree with the survey.
“In the worldwide rankings, IIT-B has appeared in top 60s; whereas other IITs have been ranked beyond 100. Also the JEE (Joint Entrance Exam) rankings have always shown that 70 of the top 100 students choose IIT-B. So, when it comes to comparing the institutes in India, IIT-B
undoubtedly should stand at the top,” Desai said.
“It is also IIT-B which has given many eminent personalities to this nation in different fields from core engineering sectors to politics and also economy. Moreover, the young faculty award introduced by this institute has always managed to attract young and talented faculty members,” he added.
Uday Athvankar, faculty member from the Industrial Design Centre at IIT-B, too pointed out JEE reports have always shown that IIT-B is the students’ first choice. He added that the faculty makes a huge difference in how an institute is developed. “IIT-B over these years has always been lucky to have good faculty.”
“The institute is fairly dynamic in several aspects and I feel there might be just a marginal difference between the first positioned institute and IIT-B, or this might be the opinion of the sample people that the survey conductors spoke to,” Athvankar added.
Ketav Mehta, a third-year student of energy science and engineering at IIT-B, gave a thumbs-up to his institute.
“Considering pure academic records, IIT-Kanpur would have scored higher, but if you consider the holistic development of a student, IIT-B has to be at the top. The institute has been giving adequate industry exposure to students. In fact, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology shows lectures by IIT-B faculty to their students,” said Mehta.

Mumbai University students wait for Aakash to fall in their laps

MU students wait for Aakash to fall in their laps



From the next academic year, students of University of Mumbai will get their own touchscreen tablet PC by spending only Rs1,138.

The Ministry of Human Resource Development officially launched the world's cheapest tablet on October 5, 2011.

The seven-inch, 350 gm-tablet PC will be available to students of all 650 affiliated colleges and teachers for e-learning.

In a recent circular sent to colleges, the university has asked them to send their requirements after talking to students. The circular says that tablet PC is available for students of undergraduate and postgraduate courses in science, engineering, commerce, humanities and social sciences.

“We will provide tablet PC to everyone who needs it. But we don't know if we can cater to 6.5 lakh students in one go,” said Mohan Kumar, director of Life Long Education at University of Mumbai and in-charge of Aakash. “We will soon discuss the mode of distribution and subsidy with the colleges. After finalising the requisition, the university will send it to the Centre by February-end.”

Through Aakash, National Mission On Education Through Information and Communication Technology has planned to give high quality interactive knowledge over the internet/intranet to students across the country.

“The price of Aakash is Rs1,138 which is 30% subsidised. If colleges want to reduce the price further, they can do at their end,” said Kumar.

The tablet is yet to reach Mumbai but students are excited about using it. “I would definitely go for my own tablet as it is very cheap. It will become a status symbol like BlackBerry,” said Rohit Shenoy, a BMM student of SK Somaiya College.

“Carrying a laptop is cumbersome. A tablet would be very helpful for presentations,” said Srishti Kumar, a second-year student of Electronics and Telecommunication, Thakur College of Engineering.

Students can access educational e-content provided by 100 varsities through the website, sakshat.ac.in.

By the time, the university finalises its requirement with all 650 colleges and sends it to the Centre, a higher version of Aakash will be available.

 After successfully introducing changes in the civil services (preliminary) examination this year, the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) is looking at bringing some changes in its ‘main’ examination with effect from 2013. 

    UPSC has constituted a panel which is expected to come out with its report early next year. The civil services examination (CSE) that is meant for selecting candidates for elite central services like IAS, IFS, IPS, IRS and others has three stages comprising ‘preliminary’, ‘main’ and personality test (interview).
    UPSC chairman D P Agrawal said: “Consistent with the need for selecting right kind of person from huge pool consisting of multiple languages, culture and communities, the commission has now constituted a high power panel to suggest possible changes in the pattern of CS (main) examination”.
    Though the chairman did not elaborate, he made it clear that the endeavour of the commission is to ensure that all the candidates are judged “on the basis of indepth knowledge and understanding rather than information gathered at the last moment”.
