The second phase of medical counselling concluded
in Saveetha University,







CHENNAI: The second phase of medical counselling concluded on Monday for admission to MBBS
courses in Saveetha University/Medical college for the academic year 2015.
Candidates selected from unigauge merit list were admitted to medical Seats in Saveetha medical college.University Chancellor Dr.N M Veeraiyan,University  director of Academics  Dr.Deepak nallaswamy, Vice chancellor Dr.Mythily Bhaskaran and Registrar Dr.Prabhavathy were present.
"This is blessing.  Some people should not get a certain kind of result.
They should only have a little, but surprisingly they have much.  Our entire work is built upon God's blessing."
"The most happiest moment of the students,Excited to join MBBS with pride and merit.."
says Chancellor N M Veeraiyan.
"It's unfortunate that many people have been cheated and lost lakhs of rupees to the agents in spite of our warning that all admissions to MBBS course are based only on merit and very transparent..Beware of these agents..If anyone promise admission other than merit please inform the admission office..--Chancellor N M Veeraiyan added.

'How can you will maintain this university with out receiving donation and management quota'?
so many parents ask to the chancellor,His silent smile is to the replay to all..,
"Our entire work is built upon God's blessing."

PARENTS’ VIEW:

The admission process was unique in its emphasis on rigorous testing and cherry picking of students
through various qualitative procedure to identify conceptual clarity, communication and analytical skills as well as personal interaction with both candidates and parents, all of which we believe, will enhance the quality of these future Doctors through keen competition and unique contribution to the community.The Counselling which was held on 8th June, carried all the hallmark of a focused and directed effort at achieving the above objective. As parents, were surprisingly exposed to a highly transparent admission process, rarely associated with private education in India.
With parents being given a rare opportunity to interact and understand common problems and challenges faced by the cohort, they felt quite a bit of anxiety vanishing when they saw that they were not alone. The well set out procedure of published merit list being adhered to methodically in the counselling process and the screening of documents, health etc, were achieved through some sensible planning which of course could be improved given time constraints of parents. But it only showed how much caring goes into education for their children, when they did not hear any complaints but only anxious faces and crossed fingers. Parents laud the efforts of this University which has set high standards all around, be it quality of education or discipline and now in an area of great concern all around ie. a transparent admission process.

STUDENT’S VIEW:
An introduction to a college for a school student would most likely border on a spectrum of emotions
Ranging from mild trepidation to great unease or even alarm. So when a Counselling call was received from Saveetha University, students approached the portals with more than a bit of disquiet. Students enlightened experience of the day was one of a mixture of welcoming human touch lent by students laced with meticulous professionalism from the Saveetha University representatives.
The initial part of the process was devoted to a stringent screening process consisting of a Group
Discussion which was about ‘How road traffic accident incidence could be lowered in India’. This was a subject which a typical 18 year old could relate to, as well as should be concerned about, as, most of us are waiting to jump into a driving seat and should surely dwell about? I got acquainted with a good number of fellow candidates and could identify a natural fit within the peer group. This introduction was followed by an aptitude test which made us scratch our heads and hopefully identify correct answers to lots of hypothetical scenarios in a logical manner.
Once the mundane document verification was done, we slogged through the grinding job of filling up of loads of documents, in where we were helped by student volunteers. This gave us an opportunity to make small talk on lots of aspects of college life, from greeting spooky cadavers to humorous hostel life.I can’t wait to get at it! After a medical screening and made to measure uniforms, we were treated to a sumptuous and good well deserved lunch. Finally we waited on tenterhooks for the much awaited ‘Admission notice’ which took long enough and when it did arrive, I gave a sign of great relief. I got my parents off my back and their smiles were reward in itself.

MILA :A New education system; By Dr. Deepak Nallaswamy

MILA:ANew education system;
ByDr.Deepak Nallaswamy

EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM PATENT DETAILS
MULTIPLE INTERACTIVE LEARNING ALGORITHM(MILA)

INVENTOR:DR.DEEPAK NALLASWAMY,Year:Feb 2015,Registrar of copy rights-Diary appli.No.2169/2015COL
--------------------------------


The multiple interacting learning algorithm (MILA)is an education system that harnesses the advancing front of technology to integrate an effective, enthusiastic and active learning environment for the students. The monotony of hours of lectures has been replaced by  facilitator mediated active learning process with 20 minute lectures interspersed by an activity based learning. In addition to academic learning there also comes the added advantage of an individual’s development as a personality to thrive in the competitive world.
This is a unique lecture protocol where short lectures are interspersed with a mix of activities that follow a particular algorithm based on the findings of our research.
The order of teaching followed by activity that is designed to improve inquiry. The algorithm follows a pattern of interactive and non-interactive activities.
This is the first time a composite of lectures interspersed with activity which breaks the monotony, greatly enhances student attentiveness, improves grasping, simplifies concepts and provides an active learning environment has been done systematically.
The lecture has never been broken into 20 minutes followed by an activity that greatly enhances the attention of students.


This is the first time in a teaching system where a 2 minute allocation for a minute activity has been incorporated which will enhance the thinking skill and test the student retention skill
For the first time,the schedule is planned in such a way that the activities do not overlap within a particular day and maintain student attentiveness.The system has many options that there is no need for repetition of the interactive sessions for a minimum of 3 weeks which is tested through the sessions taken by us.
This teaching learning methodology encourages every student to think along lateral lines and not to learn by rote. This kindles in them  a keen interest for research as they browse the ipad and further kindle their knowledge based on our survey.
The interaction required from the student side enhances their confidence, molds their personalities, overcome social interaction fears and instills the confidence to stand on their own in any academic forum.This has never been part of any theoretical academics evident from a self appraisal questionnaire.
The student are made aware of the varied facets of a concept. They know the complexities and intricacies of the subject and that science is an ever evolving field. They also understand the importance of being open to newer concepts  even if it means relearning an established idea based on our questionnaire.
For the first time the the student’s understanding on the week topic is done in the form of assessment which gives an idea to the instructor and the student on areas of focus and improvement based on our survey.
This is the only system which satisfies all the learning styles of Experiencing , Reflecting , Theorizing: and Testing the understanding of the students.
Also for the first time , the student and instructor together have orientation to learning ,readiness to learn a subject ,learning from peers and by themselves with orientation ad experience along with the concept of self and self confidence within the attention time span as evident from our study.

Description:Background of the invention:
 The MILA was formulated as an active learning system as the conventional methods had failed to reach the student of today. The technological gadgets that are a successful source of distraction among the students are exploited as learning adjuncts with the teacher only being a facilitator.
On reviewing the feedback's from the students it was found that the students are distracted and lost in a conventional one hour monologues lecture class.  The concentration of  a student progressively spikes down during an one hour lecture. Studies have found that it is difficult for the brain to concentrate with the same level of attention after 20 minutes(Train the Trainer: Adult Learning Principles Minnesota Secretary of State Website: http://www.sos.state.mn.us). Therefore holding  a student’s attention  in the class for the entire duration requires resetting of the brain every 20 minutes.
MILA algorithm is set for 120 minutes which is divided further divided into 20 minute micro sessions  suited for a strength of 30 students.This is brought  about by a combination of  18 lecture, followed by a minute 2 minute activity which will be related to the 18 minute lecture to enhance and test the thinking and retention skill of the student
This is  followed by an activity chosen from a box comprising of SCALEUP, Critical Pedagogy, JIGSAW, POGIL,  Concept Mapping, Game based Learning, Role Play, Flipped Class, Peer-led Team based Learning.
The system capitalizes the growing attention of todays generation towards electronic media as a interactive learning medium. The system will now be described in detail. The activity POGIL ( Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning employs a logical sequence of leading questions that would help the student understand an otherwise complicated process.
Different facets of an interrelated concept are given as discussion topics for separate groups. Each person of the group will be well versed in the topic. The groups are then reshuffled so that the new group has one member of each group. The ensuing discussion will result in the entire class learning all the facets of the concept.
Game- based learning employs different gaming techniques to engross the student.  It is a subtle but very powerful hands on way of learning concept.Example includes clay modelling,acting ,20 questionnaire etc.
A cascade of events or processes are best understood when enacted as a role play.
Peer-led team based learning is an informal and friendly way of learning where the students help themselves in understanding and learning concepts in the presence of a facilitator.
The depth of understanding a subject is put to test by a passage that is intentionally falsified in critical areas. The student has to identify the mistakes, which indirectly reinforces and deepens their understanding.
Concept Mapping is an app based activity where in a mind map of the entire concept which has been discussed is generated.
Flipped Class – The students view a pre-recorded video of the class. The class is open for discussion in the next day. This helps in easy understanding of the concept as well as opens more avenues for discussion.
There is also an included assessment /evaluation session at the end of the weekly session which will be an integral part of the activity session which includes formal assessment ,peer assessment and self assessment respectively.
Dr.Deepak Nallaswamy is the Director of Academics in Saveetha University, Chennai.

Blood donation camp: Blood is meant to circulate..





            Youth Red Cross Society of Saveetha Dental College aims to meet the requirement of precious blood by organizing voluntary blood donation camps in its campus every year.  Many accident victims, innocent children suffering from thalassaemia, pregnant women, cancer patients and other people in life threatening situations die due to shortage of blood. Voluntary blood donation is a selfless service and an expression of love for mankind. Blood knows no caste, creed, colour, religion or race. Hence on 29th April 2015, around 53 students of  Saveetha dental college  actively participated and  volunteered themselves to donate blood. The program was inaugurated by Dr.N.M.Veeraiyan, Chancellor and Dr.R.Ragagopal,Advisor, Saveetha university. The event was successfully coordinated by Dr.N.D.Jayakumar. Principal, YRC-Chairman and  Dr.R.Pradeep kumar.YRC-Program officer, Saveetha dental college. We had a dedicated team of qualified and trained professionals who followed stringent screening procedures, careful documentation and good Laboratory Practices for collecting, processing and testing blood.
