Dear All,
Sorry for the long absence. But had to change and finalise a few things before mailing.
There is one final and small change in the plan. Instead of Zurich, now the location would be Basel
Reasons:
1. Most of the responses I got preferred Basel over Zurich.
2. There are hardly any places Zurich open from 4 and they are quite expensive.
3. I got some wonderful support from Itee, Lakshmi and Shilpali in arranging it in Basel.
Hence we meet on 3rd of June In Basel. I suggest we meet at 4pm and then Lakshmi or Itee can take over regarding the location as I know nothing of Basel except for stadium where I saw the likes of Ronaldo and Ronaldinho play yesterday!!
Lakshmi/Itee can anyone of you please confirm my suggestions?
Looking forward to meet you all on Saturday!!
Kind Reagrds,
Hrishi.
ps: Hrishi is from07 batch, doing his summers with UBS, Zurich

XLRI plans another campus in the South
TIMES NEWS NETWORK MONDAY, MAY 22, 2006 12:00:11 AM
http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/articleshow/1540896.cms
KOLKATA: XLRI Jamshedpur is contemplating setting up a second campus in south India, a move for which the management institute's board of governors has already given a go-ahead. Hyderabad figures high on the list of possible destinations.
Speaking to ET, Father N Casimir Raj, SJ, director, XLRI said, "At the moment, we are scouting for possible locations for our second campus. Once that?s decided, we will go ahead with getting the necessary approval from the AICTE (All India Council for Technical Education).
We plan to start with an initial batch of 120, comprising both BM (Business Management) and PMIR (Personal Management & Industrial Relations) students."
Meanwhile, on the issue of increasing the number of seats to minimise the impact of reservations on the general category of students, the director said that in the case of XLRI, it is simply not a viable option. The reasons being cited: lack of space as well as a shortage of faculty.
Meanwhile, on the faculty issue, the director said that despite recently hiking their salaries by 15% as well as offering a 20% differential increase based on faculty evaluation, the institute was still facing a problem attracting good talent.
"The government has said that we can increase the number of seats by 54%, which in our case, would mean about a hundred students. Our current batch strength is 180. That means we would need at least two more classrooms and a 30% increase in faculty.
We'd also need infrastructure to house the additional students, something we just don't have the space for in our Jamshedpur campus" said Father N Casimir Raj.
"Our current faculty strength is 56. If the seats were to be increased, we'd need at least 15-20 more teachers. Yes, the salary hike has brought a perceptible rise in interest but it's still not enough" said Father N Casimir Raj.

Frivolous Law Suit against XLRI
The Telegraph Reports :
Foul cry over XLRI entry route
OUR BUREAU
Ranchi/Jamshedpur, May 5: Admitting its first case against any technical institute in the state, the Jharkhand Education Tribunal (JET) today served a showcause notice on the XLRI School of Management, Jamshedpur, over alleged irregularities in the admission process.
The chairperson of the tribunal, Justice (retired) L.P.N. Shahdeo, today gave 15 days to the premier management institute to respond to the petition filed by a resident of Noida, Raj Gandhi, whose son had appeared for XAT this January.
In her complaint, Raj claimed that despite qualifying in the written exams, her son, Samrat, was not given admission to the institute.
Accusing the director of the institute and chairperson of the admissions committee of handling the admission process arbitrarily, she claimed that her son had secured 96.3 per cent marks in the written exam conducted in Jamshedpur and should have qualified even if he failed in the interview.
Samrat did not make it after he could not crack the interview round, a reason that has not satisfied his mother who blames his exit on the rampant irregularity in the admission process.
The candidate had applied for the Business Management programme of XLRI; the other two-year course being Personnel Management and Industrial Relations.
Expressing shock, XLRI sources said the student had approached the institute after not finding his name on the list of successful students and was conveyed the reason for his rejection. “Usually the ratio of the number of candidates called for interview and the number of seats is 5:1. So obviously there is a great chance that a good written score might not see the candidate in,” sources said, adding that this was the first time such a charge was brought against the 57-year institute.
“His parents had come to me with a request for admission. But, we could not admit him as he did not qualify the interview. The All-India Council of Technical Education (AICTE) rules say the candidate must qualify both. We cannot ignore the guidelines,” said XLRI director Father N. Casimir Raj.
He said the institute was yet to receive the showcause notice issued by the JET, which has said it will admit the case only after hearing out both sides.
Fortunately the JET has said it will admit the case only after hearing both sides.
Is India going the US way. Frivolous law suits are popping up all over the place.
Christian organisations have secured a temporary stay on"The Da Vinci Code" a work of fiction because they feel people will take it to be true.
Why are we so insecure in our own lives? What are we trying to prove ? & What are we trying to hide ?
Lets look at the Mother of Samrat Gandhi: Mrs. Raj Gandhi.
She feels that just because her son has secured 96.3% in the XAT common entrance, he should automatically be given a seat at the institute. She says the selection process is arbitary.
In fact XLRI is one of the few management institutes in India which has done away with the GD process for selection, because they felt that the GD was arbitrary. A lot of potential students attend GD development classes & simply t ryt o drown out the other participants voices. The ones who have good points to contribute but are too polite to shut down the others don't get a chance to speak.
Now lets look at the interview as a selection process. Specifically the XL interview process : There is a panel of 3 professors from the college. These professors have taught generations of students and are skilled in human behavior (at least one is normally from the OB stream) They would be better at finding the right student than that Farah/Sonu/Anu Malik triangle is at finding the next Indian Idol.
Just because someone has great marks it doesn't make them a great person or a great manager. (Btw there are potentials who secure 99% too) In India the education system at the school level seems to focus only on marks and not the all round development of the child. Mrs Raj expects the same to hold at post graduation level too.
To be a great manager, you need some amount of intellect, some amount of empathy, some amount of maturity, some amount of logical reasoning & a few other things besides.
Me thinks that : if Mr Samrat takes after the mother, quite a few of these qualities would be missing.
Unable to handle rejection, she has gone running to the courts, much like an AMerican citizen who sues the city muncipality if he falls down on the street. That he might have been drunk is besides the point.
Mrs. Raj Gandhi needs to examine her own son & realistically consider his plus & minus points before rushing to the courts. Otherwise this may set off a slew of law suits against educational institutions & corporates too by candidates who interview with them (thinking themselves to be the cat's whiskers) and don't get selected.

Subject: Appeal for financial help after my bypass surgery
Dear Alumni of XLRI,
I wish to introduce myself as Chandrasekhar of the BM 74-76 batch.
I recently underwent a bypass surgery at Madras Medical mission,Chennai.It was a traumatic and horrible experience to say the least. In my case it was further complicated because of my BP and diabetes.Any way I am alive to write this.
I am now at home recovering slowly. Everyday is a gift of God. No one can assure that there will be a tomorrow.
I am writing this to appeal for some financial help.I am 56, unemployed, with a daughter in college, living on my savings. If some of you could help me in whatever litle way you can I would be extremely grateful. The Chennai XL chapter under the leadership of Dominique Thomas along with PNSubramanian, Reddy and MaFoi Pandiarajan
helped me financially and also for arranging blood.
Fr CasimirRaj Director XLRI has helped me a lot.Fr Christie, Director of LIBA has also helped me . He motivated the students of LIBA to come forward to donate blood. I needed blood transfusion twice. I am alive because so many came forward to donate blood.
Your contribution can be sent to me to the following address;
thanks a lot.
V.Chandrasekhar
B/12/4,
