M.S. Ramaiah School of Advanced Studies (MSRSAS)
1. What is MSRSAS?
It is a postgraduate engineering and management School founded by
Gokula Education Foundation (M.S. Ramaiah group). The main
objectives are to offer
- Research Programme Leading to PhD degree and conduct sponsored
research
- Industry Relevant Postgraduate Engineering and Management
Education
- Industry Relevant Training and lifelong learning programme
- Engineering solutions and support technology business
2. Why the School is named as Advanced Studies?
Our focus is on postgraduate engineering and management research,
education and training in modern and upcoming technology areas. We
update the curricula on yearly basis to take care of recent
developments.
3. Are your PG programmes recognized by any agency/AICTE?
Our education programmes are global. Our PG degrees are awarded by
Coventry University of UK, which is a member of association of
global universities. The Govt. of UK has created this university.
The quality is controlled by Quality Assurance Agency of UK. The
same norms apply to us. Our students are well received by Indian and
multinational industries. We have been offering Ph.D. programme of
Coventry University since 2004.
As of now
MSRSAS is not an AICTE approved institution. As per the Foreign
University Act 2005 of AICTE, application has been submitted by
MSRSAS for registration.
4. What we mean by global Education?
As per the World Trade Organization (WTO), the curriculum from the
year 2005 onwards will be international and all the degrees awarded
by the universities must have international recognition. Knowing
this requirement well in advance, MSRSAS collaborated with
international university and started offering postgraduate
engineering degree programmes since August 2000. Our postgraduate
degree courses are recognized internationally. Please read the
following News Paper articles for you to know what we are talking
about.
5. How do you rate your programmes?
If you look at our syllabus (whichever programme it is), the method
of delivery, our reading resources, are comparable to any best
universities in the world. We give lots of importance for the
learning outcomes.
6. Are your PG courses expensive?
Our courses are not expensive. Most of our PG degree courses cost a
total of around Rs. 2,00,000/-, which is comparable to PG courses of
any of our universities. In addition you get the best reading
material, excellent laboratory facilities round the clock and latest
technical knowledge. You talk to our PG students about their
experience with us.
7. What is Coventry University involvement?
Three of our PG courses are completely developed by them. A few
staff members from Coventry University visit us every year to deal
with a few modules. They have trained our faculty members. They
control the quality of our PG and research programmes and award
degrees. Their library facilities are available to us and they
involve in assessment.
8. What way your PG courses are different from our Indian University PG courses?
In our courses, emphasis is on industrial applications. These
courses enhance your knowledge and orient you towards product design
and development. We encourage applied research and use of
commercially available software and hardware tools for the design
and development of products. We involve practicing engineers in
teaching and use lot of product design and development videos to
support our teaching.
9. What is our acceptance in Indian scenario after doing PG?
We started our courses in the year 2000. To begin with we were
offering only three courses, now we have total of 20 courses.
Several students have completed their courses. Most of them are
working with well-known multinational houses in India and abroad. A
few of them are doing their Ph.D. in UK universities. We advise you
to talk to our students and find their experience.
10. What is the selection criterion for PG courses?
We offer courses through part time as well full time routes. The
part time route is for those working and would like to improve their
qualification. Every April month we admit students for part time.
The selection is based on previous qualification and work
experience. The full time route is for the fresh engineering
graduates and merit is the criterion for selection. At present we
are not conducting any entrance test. Every September month we admit
students for full time route.
11. Can we switchover from one route to the other?
There are
certain conditions to be fulfilled.
12. Do you assure any job placement?
Placement is need based and market dependent. We do not assure any
job placement to any of our students. But we assist them. The School
can help students to enhance candidate’s knowledge level; skill
level, communication skills and mannerisms but it cannot rewrite
his/her previous records.
13. Do you have enough expertise to deal with such modern subjects?
We have more than 120 teaching faculty, supported by another 40
visiting faculty from Indian industries and overseas. We have
experienced, trained, dedicated, and enthusiastic faculty members.
14. What is ACTP?
It is known as Advanced Certificate Training Programme designed to
orient the fresh engineering graduates towards industry. In the
course emphasis is on skill development on the use of modern design
tools
15. What is MTP?
It is known as Modular Training programme. ACTP comes as a package
for duration of 3 months. If you are interested in a specific module
