A society in which such a change is a moot point, is a society that definitely needs this change.Pratyush Tiwaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08299990327884707138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9818962.post-59012754509733096512011-12-19T08:34:05.557+05:302011-12-19T08:34:05.557+05:30Gives engineering boys have more options for girls...Gives engineering boys have more options for girls!

Such arrangements could have made it work, though I think they did try to import profs from other institutions for some courses. Vikram has a point though--I can just imagine an MA psychology student taking up fluid mechanics 101!Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03186014514110985045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9818962.post-2446711805018592982011-12-17T23:33:11.167+05:302011-12-17T23:33:11.167+05:30Dear Abi

Now, with the wonderful new undergraduate programme at IISc, it seems natural for faculty and students at RRI, JNCASR, IISc, NIAS, Ramaiah, Shristi and TIFR-CAM, TIFR-ICTS and NCBS to work seamlessly together. Not to mention with other places across town. There is so much synergy possible. Yet this is not happening. The interaction will work if IISc takes the lead. I know that at least one very serious attempt by others which has failed, because of IISc being tepid! Its still not too late. <br />Cheers<br />VijayVijayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00906122390237442828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9818962.post-9837358204913184962011-12-17T13:49:35.840+05:302011-12-17T13:49:35.840+05:30This is an interesting initiative.

The colleges should also share their events/seminars (if they dont already).<br /><br />One question though, why would a non engineering student want to take engineering courses (apart from basic computer programming perhaps) ?Vikramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15184698535624088994noreply@blogger.com
