IITs and NITS are promoting enrollment of female candidates after noticing a sharp fall in number female students taking admission in the colleges, over the years.

Engineering is one of the most popular career choices for youngsters in India. Thousands of candidates strive to get admission in premium engineering institutes of the country. This year 11.5 lakh candidates have applied for the nationwide engineering entrance JEE Main Examination scheduled to be conducted 8th April 2018. JEE Main Answer Key, to be published on the official website after successful completion of the examination will be the deciding factor for students to sit for JEE Advanced.

Although thousands of engineering aspirants manage to crack the examinations and get admission in IITs and NITs every year, a sharp decline in the enrolment of female candidates has been observed. The Ministry of Human Resource Development, took notice of the problem after the Press Trust of India reported an increase in the number of vacant seats even in the finest engineering institutes of the country since 2013, with 2014 being the only exception.

The HRD Ministry Committee set up in 2016, collected the data regarding the vacant seats in engineering colleges, which since 2013 is 274 out of which 15 in 2013, 5 in 2014, 39 in 2015, 96 in 2016 and 121 in 2017. The ministry set up a panel to focus on this issue and received several proposals to tackle the problem.

Joint Admission Board (JAB) suggested increasing the number of seats in all the 23 IITs to encourage the admission of female students after observing the lesser number of female students in premier engineering institutes. The proposal was accepted by the government and Dr. Satya Pal Singh, Minister of State of HRD declared in the parliament that 14% seats is targeted to be filled by female students in 2018-19 which was only 8% in 2016. This percentage is projected to increase to 17% in 2019-2020 and 20% in 2020-2021 by creating supernumerary seats.

Dr. Singh mentioned that University Grant Commission (UGC) has undertaken a number of schemes to encourage female education in the country. He was quoted saying, “The UGC is also implementing schemes for development of Women’s Studies in Indian Universities and Colleges, setting up of Women Hostels for Colleges and Universities, Capacity Building of Women Managers in Higher Education, Establishment of Day Care Centre in Central and State Universities”. He further stated that the All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE) has taken initiatives to attract female students to technical courses by allowing land norm relaxations and reduction in FDR and processing fees for institutes which are focused on providing technical education to women. He also mentioned about the Pragati Scholarship Scheme for girls studying in AICTE approved institutes.

According to an HRD official, the guidelines have been created to maintain a gender balance in the top engineering institutes of the country. He also pointed out that preparing for JEE requires tuitions from various private institutions which many female students are unable to access because of the remote locations and as a result their performances are affected.

Following the footsteps of the IITs, the 31 NITs of the country also decided to create extra seats to encourage enrolment of female students. The NITs also saw sharp fall in the percentage of girls applying for B.Tech courses in the institutes, from 22% in 2016 to 14% in 2017. The most significant decline has been noticed in the 14 older establishments at Suratkhal, Allahabad and Patna. NITs decided to follow the guidelines as recommended by the HRD Ministry to increase female enrolment to at least 14% this year to 17% in 2019-20 and 20% in 2020-21 by creating supernumerary seats.

Furthermore, it has been mentioned in the HRD directive that the number of seats for male candidates will not be reduced in the process of creating seats for women candidates, except in the case of deterioration in the performance of male candidates in JEE. According to the guidelines, if an institute succeeds to fill up 14% of their seats with female students, no supernumerary seats will be created.

IIEST Shibpur, West Bengal, has also decided to follow the HRD directives like the IITs and NITs to welcome more female candidates to the campus.

In terms of admission of girl students, NITs have performed better than the IITs. In 2017-18, 2440 girls took admission to the NITs compared to only 1100 to the IITs. In IITs, 4% seats have been reserved for women candidates in 2018, contributing to the cause. IITs are expecting 440 more female students than last year with the introduction of this quota.

According to the directives, constitutional reservations for SC/ST/OBC/PH will be same for the supernumerary seats.

The companies which recruit from the campus of these eminent engineering colleges have also welcomed this effort. “We will continue to engage with NITs to explore hiring opportunities for the top engineering talent from these institutes, especially women engineers,” mentioned Sayan Dutta, head of university relations, India, at Amazon, one of the top headhunters from NITs.

People often call you a loner. You don’t socialize, you hate talking over call, you hate family gatherings. You just cannot ask “how are you” or “what do you do” or “what are your hobbies” to random people. If you’re called anti-social or a loner, it is not something that should make you feel sad about yourself. There’s nothing wrong about you. It’s just that you are more than the average. Here are 10 things you’d be able to relate to if you hate small talks.

1. Saturday night and party? Bad idea.

Instead of going out to party on weekends, you prefer to stay home and watch movies. Mainly because going out involves talking to people.

2. Making friends in Public Transport. Whaaaaat? How?

You’ve heard tons of stories where people make friends and even companions during their train or bus journeys. I mean how? How can you have conversations with a random person in a train?

3. Wedding functions are a big no!

You talk to like 3 people everyday. Your mom, dad and sibling. That’s it. Talking to long lost relatives about topics that are hardly relevant to you? A big no.

4. Social gatherings are suffocating.

Whenever you attend a function or a party where all your relatives or colleagues or classmates are gathered, you feel uneasy. The talks there annoy you, suffocate you.

5. Encounter with a long lost friend

You spotting a long lost friend or a relative in a public place is the scariest thing that can happen to you. Because you just cannot imagine the talk you’ll have to have with them for the sake of formality.

6. Small talks are unnatural, forced.

Colleagues talking about anything or everything during lunch hours is just something you don’t understand. These talks just don’t come to you naturally. And you cannot even join these talks because it just feels forced and unnatural.

7. Small talks makes no sense!

Small talk just doesn’t make sense to you. Why would someone talk about something that is not relevant to their lives? Why would someone indulge in a gossip about someone else? I just cannot be involved in a conversation that does not concern me or my life.

8. Silent Zone

When it comes to small talks, you are most probably in the silent zone. You don’t find these conversions worth indulging in. So you either keep listening to what’s being discussed or you’re probably going through memes on your phone.

9. You can’t fake it or cannot tolerate lies.

Why would someone say “I am fine” to a “how are you” if they are not really fine? I mean why would you fake it? Just don’t talk instead. A simple smile should also be sufficient.

10. Call < Text

You just cannot have any conversation over call. Calling is just not for you. Be it a business prospect or a client or an employer, talking over call is just not your thing. Forget video calling. People who Whatsapp or text are the best people.

As kids, our parents always taught us to be careful about the most minor things we do or say. Because those tiny, little, not-so-important things can make a huge difference. Sometimes, the consequences are instant, while some take years. But they matter. And, they matter A LOT.

In this fast-growing, competitive internet world, our lifelines have decreased its growth. We are constantly exhausted. We feel lonely despite of having our favourite people around. Our lives have become more about surviving than living. We miss out on a qualitative lifestyle. We don’t remember the last time it felt peaceful. Or had  worry-less hours with friends and family. Deep down we want to feel strong and light. In order to that, these are the most minor that will change our lives mentally and emotionally.

1. Waking up early in the morning for a run

2. Turning off the mobile internet post dinner and spend time with your family

3. Read

4. Close your eyes for 15 -20 minutes to feel your own heartbeat

5. Meet or at least talk to your friends on a regular basis

6. Plan a healthy diet and cut down on junk

 7. Build relationships with co-workers outside the office

8. Pre plan yearly trips in advance. 

9. Do an adventure sport for a once-in-a-lifetime experience

10. Maintain a journal and noting down your everyday thoughts

11. Change the house interiors once in a while to feel new at an old place

12. Go an adventurous trek, away from the commercial world on a mountain or a forest once a year

13. Attend creative conferences or events related to your interests and build new relationships

14. Volunteer for an NGO

15. Gift yourself a Spa Day for a small achievement or for working for longer hours

16. Have Sex! It’s the best stress-buster

17. Develop a hobby of taking power naps for 10 minutes during working hours

18. Learn to cook your own meal

19. Wake up with a smiling face without looking for your phone 

20. Take life easy, postive and stay calm. Because, there’s always a tomorrow that can get better

This week has turned out to be a terrifying week for India. According to state police’s charge-sheet, 8 year old girl was drugged, gang-raped repeatedly and murdered in a temple in Kathua of Jammu and Kashmir. Since the news has broke, internet is angry over the incident and more over the silence of state government and central government. None of the government has issued any statement or said anything publicly about this horrendous crime.

Bollywood, media and sportsman have taken social media to express their anguish over the case of gang-rape and murder of 8 year old girl child. Here are some of the tweets.

Disclaimer: Publishing name or photo of rape victim is illegal according to Indian Penal Code. Following tweets are in violation of IPC Section 228-A.

Our team at BuddyBits strongly condemns this hideous crime. We believe culprits should be punished to the extent that no one dares to even think of rape in future.

We seriously hope judiciary system and government of India set a strong example with this case.

Teaser of one of the most awaited film Sanju is out. Sanju is biopic of Sanjay Dutt, directed by Raj Kumar Hirani and played by Ranbir Kapoor. Poster of the film was released earlier today followed by a teaser. This 1.26 minutes long teaser speaks a lot! Dialogues, performance are so good that it’ll make you wait for the film. Ranbir Kapoor’s portrayal of Sanjay Dutt is so good that in many scenes, one forgets that it’s not Sanjay Dutt but Ranbir Kapoor. We won’t say much, leave on you to decide.

Watch teaser of Sanju

1. They are always your Partners in Crime

May it be a plot against another group (the one which is on top of your most hate list) or standing up against a rival in an election, your college buddies are always besides you with their wicked and win-win plans. Whistling in a boring lecture or throwing paper made planes in an on-going class; they make sure to be part of your mischievous squad. They are your best Criminal partners.

2. The best Canteen Buddies

The chai ki chuski or the Sandwich with some extra spice, it can never be better without our college buddies. The chats or the cribbing are at best when discussed over a cup of cup of coffee or a tea. Canteen is the best spot to discover your friends when you bunk the classes. For playing cards or dumb charades, canteen is the best place to hang around with our people.

3. They see the Real you

No one in the world, understand our thinking, dreams and desires like friends do. Plus, the main reason of choosing to do friendship is to be with someone who understands and does not judge. They being of the same age group generally have common ideology and opinions, hence it becomes easy for them to perceive. They accept all the grey shades of you with great pleasure (they love the devil side of you more than the angelic side).

4. They can keep you awake the whole night

Be it a project or a night before an exam or be it a topic of no importance (whining about a girl/boy in the class), there can be unremitting discussions with our college buddies for the whole night. The Watspp pop ups would be on the top of the mobile notifications the whole night.

5. They are literally there for you

No matter what ever situation you are in, they stand still and rock steady for you. If you have any issues in your life, they will light it up with their witty advices or creepy ideas. May it be shopping for a Farewell party or wanting to eat some Pizza, they are always around. It may be 3 am at the mid-night or 12 pm at the noon; these people are forever ready to help.

6. They are your best Secret Holders & Bearers

The earnest of your secrets are safe with them. It may be about a crush @ college or a deep love issue from your school days, it may be a fantasy or a delusion, and they manage to get it spit from us anyhow. Seizing the mobile phones or unknotting some personal gifts, they don’t spare us at all but they make sure to keep it to themselves and hence are our best Secret Bearers.

7. Unlimited Fun, Unlimited Adventures & Road Trips

Friends are the open and free access to ultimate laughs and enjoyment times. There is no need of topics to laugh on. They can make us roll on the floor laughing even on the most dum-witted jokes. Double meaning talks are enjoyed thoroughly with them anytime and anywhere. No planned trip ever works with them( a true fact). Only instantly planned trips fill the pockets with the best adventures.

8. They always give us a Reality Check.

These friends know us so well that they have the ability to predict and capture situations which we are in denial of. It could be the bizarre outfit we are wearing or a piece of advice for the boyfriend/girlfriend cheating on us. They bring the harsh reality in front of us.

9. They provide us their Shoulders to cry on

At the most difficult endeavors and embarrassing decisions, we always find our friends cheering from the sidelines. Their presence halves any dilemma or drama that takes place in our lives. They ridicule our petrifaction at times but guard it well so that we don’t break down in any situation.

10. The give you the BEST Memories of Life

The teasing part or missing someone apart, the last minute presentations or the morning 8 o’clock sessions, the college trips or the coffee sips, the group talks or some college mocks, the sandwich bites or the laughter riots, the bike rides or sitting with your bestie on the parking sides. Every moment is captured so afresh in our reminiscence. You would still laugh aloud recollecting those stupid idiotic moments of life.

Thank you.

As our system has failed to create a strong law against the rapists, rapes have become so common in India. Just few days back, a heartbreaking rape and murder case of an 8 year old girl child took the internet by storm.

While rapes are becoming so common and rapists are walking on the streets freely, folks at Tafreeh Peshkash decided to write a song for Kathua rape and murder victim. This song is a fusion of poetry and rap, which talks about the sad plight of our society where girls are getting raped and murdered.

Watch this hard hitting song Tere Bhai Zinda Hai

Monday!

There’s nothing like this day. You won’t meet a soul who wouldn’t talk about it, or not mention it or won’t rant about it. It’s the day of blues or a day when you want to start something fresh and new or the day when people really feel their life is nothing but sad. Because, nobody wants to wake up on a Monday. If there was a possibility to scrap this day out, people do it right away. Because, Monday is Monday.

And, Twitter is one place people prefer to write their thoughts down without caring how public it is! It’s that diary that makes you let it out. And, as Monday being one of the most mentioned days of the week, twitter trends the most hilarious tweets for all.

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful girl with blue eyes and golden plaited and a young handsome boy with sea green eyes and perfect black hair. And, then they met and fell in love. Those long walks holding hands and moments of laughter under the moonlight could have been permanent till the father disapproved and the story had a tragic end.

So, when I see my not-so-perfect hair in the mirror today who has no interest in having tragic endings, choose PlayStation over dates and food over cuddly moments, which makes single, happy and yet hilarious because single people are funny and people laugh at them! And not just me, but people who I meet with not-so-perfect life sailing in the same boat as mine, tweeting about their single-hood in a hilarious way!

The most difficult part about availability of tons of entertainment sites is to find the right show that you can binge-watch on weekends. You’ll have to go through tons of recommendation lists and hundreds of reviews to find the show that you’ll love and the funny thing? You’ll finish that show in just one weekend.

I like crime drama, suspense thrillers and murder mysteries. And to find show in these genre that’ll keep you engaged from first to last episode is pretty hard. The shows I’ve liked the most on Netflix/ Prime Video are generally least talked about shows. Be it How To Get Away With A Murder or Scandal or Suits. They are not as popular as shows like House Of Cards, Breaking Bad, Game Of Thrones. But I’ve loved those shows. Once you’ll watch Scandal, House Of Cards will not be able to keep you engaged. Both of them are political drama, Scandal is more engaging than the other. The point is, I’ve liked shows that are not popular but has good reviews on IMDB, Google.

I recently finished Scandal and How To Get Away With A Murder. Was looking for a show to binge-watch. And my friend Hemal came to the rescue. She suggested me this show called “La casa de papel”; on hearing the name I was convinced that I am not going to watch this show. But then she told me its English version is called Money Heist and it is combination of crime, thriller and mystery. So I decided to give it a try. I started watching first episode, and stopped watching when the last episode of the season was over. Trust me, Money Heist is the most engaging show I’ve ever watched.

Money Heist

Money Heist is English translation of Spanish show La casa de papel. La casa de papel translates to House of Paper, but since Netflix already has a popular show with a similar name- House of Cards, they changed it to Money Heist. And I feel this name doesn’t justify the grandeur of the show.

Show is about the heist to be carried out by eight robbers and headed by professor, which is going to be the biggest heist of the history. Mastermind of the heist is addressed by ‘professor’ in half of the series, his real name is revealed in mid-season. Professor recruits team of 8 people with different skills who have nothing to lose in life. He trains them for five months for this heist. The gang is going to enter the Royal Mint of Spain and print 2.4 billion euros. In order to meet the aim, they will require to stay inside for 11 days and constantly print the currency.

They have kept the staff and students, in total 67 people as hostages inside The Royal Mint of Spain. Rescue operation of the hostages is carried out by police lead by Raquel Murillo.

How the robbers manage 67 hostages, police force and how professor is literally controlling each and every move from outside will keep you glued to your screens for 25 episodes. The show is divided in two parts, first part has 16 episodes and second part has 9 episodes. Once you’ll start the show, you’ll only stop once all 25 episodes are over. So I’d suggest you to start this series over weekend.

Whether you’re rooting for robbers or police, you will love this show. 

Binge-watch Money Heist this weekend and tell us in comments how do you find it.
