On saturday,  The Joint Admission Board of IIT's passed on the formula backed by centre to IIT faculty to resolve the changes in the joint entrance examination norms. On june 21 HT reported that the HRD ministry informally circulated the new plan among the IIT's to put break somewhere in this situation. The Joint Admission Board would be responsible for working out the details of JEE, including IIT directors and JEE chairmen who supported the ministry's plan. The revised plan was likely to be approved by IIT council on june 27. The proposal after the approval of IIT council will once again be sent to different IIT senates for the final decision. The new proposal will be enforced from 2013. In the new proposal board's performance will be used as a cut-off only. I also read that the cut-off will be based possibly on the top 20 percentile of each board.

IIT-D would hold the test on the same pattern of 2012 JEE. Delhi is the second IIT after Kanpur to plan their own entrance procedure. Dr. Sanjeev Sanghi, the president of IIT-D faculty forum asked the need to introduce the changes in JEE from 2013. Somnath Bharti, the president of IIT-D Alumni Association, said that the decision to conduct a separate exam was taken because of government's autocratic and manipulative atttitude.

Creating a table in SQL

SQL i.e. Structured Query Language and is used to access the database. It is ANSI standard. SQL is also used to build the web sites. There are various commands used in sql such as:Insert, Delete, Update, Where, Select, Join, Distinct, etc. A table is a collection of data entries which consists of rows and columns. Select command is used to retrieve or fetch the data from the database.SQL performs various functions:

• SQL can execute queries against the database.
• It can be used to create a database.
• It can also creates a table in a database.
• It is used to insert the records in a database.
• It is used to update the existing records. 
• It is also used to delete the existing records.

To create a table in sql first of all we must install the SQL server. Then click on Database and create the new database. After creating the database then click on Tables and create new table. We can also create multiple tables. Nowadays, I am creating a table in sql. Firstly, I created a single table and its very easy to create. But creating multiple tables is bit difficult. These multiple tables are created by using JOIN keyword. I hope soon I'll be able to learn much more about sql.    

 

IIT-kanpur junks JEE plans its own exam next year

I read an article that IIT-kanpur has decided to discard JEE plans and go its own way how it picks students for next year. The institute discards the proposal of common entrance test for all centrally funded engineering institutes and announced its own exam next year because it disagree with new new single joint entrance exam plan of HRD ministry. This resolution was passed at IIT-kanpur's special senate meeting. This meeting was attended by nearly 80 members. The admission committee for the exam will be announced soon. This rule will be implemented in 2013 so that students should get time to prepare for new format. And the students who appeared in JEE exam in 2012 are also eligible for second attempt in 2013. Dr.Mohapatra said that in 2013 IIT council will not be the part of JEE. He also invited other IIT's to follow the footsteps of kanpur but there was no immediate support.The director of IIT-Bombay, Devang khakhar said that there are no plans of conducting separate exam. The director of IIT-Delhi, RK Shevgaonkar said that they will go with the decision of theeir own senate members. The students of IIT-kanpur criticised the single entrance test for all engineering admissions. This separate exam will put students under greater stress.

Seo as I understand

1. Seo i.e. Search Engine Optimization.

4. Various results are appeared on the screen. More than 48 lacs results appeared for ceiling designs.

5. Every page wants to come on the top but some techniques are to be used so that they should come on the top and these techniques are known as Search Engine Optimization Techniques.

As I studied in Drawing Room Ceiling Designs  the title names appeared as: Drawing Room Ceiling Designs | Ceiling Designs| False Ceiling Designs| Living Rooms Ceiling| Pop Ceiling Designs. And it's description is Drawing Room Ceilings can change the interior of the rooms.

(c) Keyword Density: It is defined as the percentage of times the keyword phrase used in the webpage text.For example, If we have webpage of 100 words including headings,etc and we have keyword phrase that is on the page 5 times then we have keyword density of only 5%

College students cashing on tweets, blogs

Yesterday, I seen article in the newspaper in which I read that advertisers pay students to promote their brands. I read about Gia Kashyap who was 22 years old loved fashion and she was also into blogging. Various tips on latest trends and make-up brands had earned more than Rs 6000 per month which made a perfect sense of fashion brands and helped  to promote her products. Like Gia, many college students who were active on social network found that their hobby could actually be a well-playing job. Since April posting 40 characters on Twitter helped Neil D'souza who was 19 years old earned Rs 3000 per month for promoting a mobile network compaign. This phenomenon of earning money through social networking called as horizontal branding and its a good model to connect advertisers with potential customers. Its a good opportunity for students to make use of their existing time on social networking to make extra pocket money.

My elder brother helped me a lot in making this page.Till now, I made 5 pages which includes Home, About Me, My FB Profile, Qualifications, Contact-Me. Earlier I didn't know how to make .NET pages, I searched about it in GOOGLE  and taken a help from my brother also. Day-by-Day I find it easier and interesting. The program is the version of Microsoft Visual Studio. It is perfect for creating a .NET websites. To create a project Open Visual Web Developer program and click File, then New Website. Then we have to start writing the HTML coding including various html tags. Then save that page with .htm or .aspx extension. I hope soon i'll get deep knowledge  in making the .NET pages.
