What was funny was that they said hurry the deadline for the next batch/semester is a certain date. APPLY NOW! ...of course what would happen after that date? Oh wait now its some new date to apply for the same batch/semester. All you had to do was look at the site to know it was a highly questionable place to get an education.
I am an Indian and this is worrying situation. The university in which I study has censored a lot of things(game websites are blocked among many other) and many others are doing same. The thing is that people are making it a habit to block Internet. And shady institutes like this are just going out and asking far away courts for blocks which they can easily get.
Just to be clear- The university that you study has the right to censor certain websites because they are providing you internet and hence they can stipulate the rules(for the service they are providing). However, the argument here is that the government should not block URLs because they are not providing the service and they are just regulators of this service. The argument here is that as regulators, they are goin…
Fascinating. Currently our (UK) Prime Minister is in India trying to sell our universities (amongst a lot of other things) to Indian students. Lovely bit of inter-cultural exchange right? Generally speaking, yes, absolutely. The more the merrier as far as I am concerned. However... Back here in the UK, the very same PM has trebled the costs of going to university for English and Welsh students, pricing many out, rais…
> here in the UK, the very same PM has trebled the costs of going to university for English and Welsh students, pricing many out As far as I was aware, under the new scheme, graduates only start paying back their student debt once (and only if) their income crosses a certain threshold. That seems like a fairly good deal to me--a crude approximation of saying 'you only pay for your degree if you get financial value fr…
Interesting, I had missed this (but I'm not British, so haven't been following closely). It looks like the new scheme defers repayment if you earn less than £21,000 (US$32,500), and then it further caps annual payments to 9% of your income that exceeds that amount.

By your argument, censorship by ISPs is justified.
Typically, if they have to censor, it would have to be based on an agreement with the customer before hand, else it would be a violation of consumer rights!

Just to set facts straight - for best of Indian students UK hasn't been destination of choice for higher studies (for awhile I think). I come from one of the top 10 engineering universities and none in my batch selected UK for higher education. I repeat None. It may sound little weird, but the reason UK, Australia and New Zealand universities needs selling in India is because "it needs selling". UK isn't attracting b…
"an educational institution" Aka "diploma mill", most likely.

"But I believe our undergrad (read B.S) is just fine." - That is not true.

It seems to be ideological where that type of thinking comes from.

Could you elaborate on that (I know nothing about the Indian education)? I was under the impression that the IITs were good. Would you disagree with that? Or is it that there is a couple of schools which are good but the rest is so-so.
As far as the rest of education system, my experience was that rote memorizing was encouraged and people were not necessarily taught how to think or even encouraged how to think. I dunno, maybe it is a cultural thing but I didn't like it.

(and believe me Indians in particular have done the UK proud, and me personally, so much so I argue they are more British than us fairly useless white lot It seems to be ideological where that type of thinking comes from.
