ISB&M opens tech school in city
Pune: The International School of Business and Media (ISB&M
) announced here on Tuesday the launching of its School
of Technology (SoT), which has been set up on a 10-acre
modern campus at Nande, about 17 km from the city, in
Mulshi taluka.
The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE),
which regulates technical education in the country, has
sanctioned a student intake of 300 for the ISB&Ms
SoT for academic year 2010-11 in five different streams,
including mechanical, electronics and telecommunication,
infotech and computer science. Each stream has 60 seats.
The newly-established college is part of the ongoing Centralised
Admission Process (CAP) for engineering degree course
conducted by the state directorate of technical education
(DTE).
Following the first three rounds of seat allotments, the
CAP is now set to move into the fourth and final round,
which is to commence from September 13 to 17 at Aurangabad.
The University of Pune has granted affiliation to our
institute, ISB&M group president Pramod Kumar told
reporters.
The ISB&M group is celebrating the 10th year of its
inception, having started from a campus at Vimannagar
on the Ahmednagar road. So far, the group had been engaged
in offering management and media studies.
Kumar said, We are looking at developing a school of technology
that will be high on standards of education and totally
focused on creating good engineers.
He, however, conceded that securing a good strength of
qualified and committed faculty was a major challenge
for a new institution like the SoT. We already have nearly
10 full-time faculty and plan to engage another 10 to
12 faculty, apart from visiting lecturers, he added.
The ISB&M has raised a stateof-the-art engineering
workshop facility, apart from other necessary infrastructure
like library, computer rooms, physics and chemistry laboratories
and co-curricular as well as extra-curricular amenities
at its new campus.
P K De, executive director of ISB&M, and Vijay Arora, who
has taken charge as principal of the SoT, were present
on the occasion.
