5 arrested youth from Sealdah highly qualified: Police
Five miscreants arrested from Sealdah on Monday by the Special Task Force (STF) of Kolkata police are from Uttar Pradesh with degrees like BTech, MTech, MCom and BSc.
The Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) may now be able to offer one-year executive MTech degrees, after the IIT Council, the highest decision-making body of the IITs, cleared a proposal for the same, suggest reports. The one-year programme will be tailor-made for professionals, who otherwise do not have time to pursue a two-year full-time course.
The fee for the executive MTech programme is, however, expected to be more than the current two-year programme, which costs a little over Rs. 60,000. The IIT Council has proposed a fee structure equivalent to the ‘market rate’, i.e on a par with fee being charged by private institutes.

The one-year MTech programme is being designed along the lines of the executive MBA programmes offered by some of the Indian Institutes of Management. Many IITs are facing a problem as students are increasingly leaving their MTech programmes midway after finding jobs.
