GNIIT to include quality management
NIIT Limited, the information technology training, consulting and services company, has announced the inclusion of a quality management programme in its three-year GNIIT programme.
Four modules on quality management concepts, tools of quality management, ISO 9000 for software and the SEI-CMM model, software quality assurance and personal quality have been added to the GNIIT curriculum.

L Balasubramanian, general manager, NIIT, said the curriculum had been expanded in response to the results of a survey of employers. The results showed that seven of the 10 additional skills employers wanted in software professionals they hired pertained to quality management rather than technology.

Balasubramanian also pointed out that, with the increasing cost of manpower, India would be hard put to sustain its low cost of labour advantage for very long. "It is therefore important that we compete on quality," he said.

Among the other topics that are covered in the quality modules are software testing, documentation standards, time management, prioritisation and planning and problem solving methodology. The module has been created through extensive inputs from the work of Philip B Crosby, the quality expert associated with the 'zero defect' concept.

NIIT itself has experimented internally with Crosby concepts such as the 'Complete Quality Management System'.

The change in the curriculum comes a year after the GlobalNet curriculum for GNIIT was introduced. NIIT says its continuous interaction with the industry as a consultant and software developer for various companies helps it modify curriculum to suit current requirements within a short time.

The company has also separated curriculum development - which is done through the instructional research and design department - from curriculum delivery. This division enables NIIT to deliver a standardised model across the globe (the company now has operations in several East and West Asian nations), and across self-managed and franchise centres.

NIIT has also developed CD-ROMs on Crosby concepts such as personal quality management and problem solving tools. While these will be used in the GNIIT programme, they will be also be marketed separately.
NIIT launches new GNIIT programme

ITP News Network / Mumbai

TRAINING major NIIT has introduced a new ‘industry-endorsed’ multiple-track GNIIT programme for career aspirants in IT. The new GNIIT programme has been ‘co-designed’ with the IT and ITeS industry and is geared to fulfil their emerging manpower needs. The programme envisages four specialisation tracks built upon a common foundation.

Delving on the unique features of the new GNIIT programme, Vijay K Thadani, CEO, NIIT said that a significant part of the programme content has been customised to meet the specific requirements of large recruiters.

“The new industry-endorsed GNIIT programme, designed in consultation with the recruiters and NIIT alumni from across the IT sector, will help bridge the huge IT manpower demand-supply gap by offering the ‘right skilled IT manpower’ in a steady and predictable manner,” said Thadani.

Dr Smarajit Dey, head of individual learning business, said, “The new programme combines generic IT skills with company-specific skills to create a pool of professionals who are both industry-ready and are productive immediately.”

“NIIT has visualised placement partnerships with leading IT and ITeS companies who would also be involved in the selection process of candidates,” added Dr Dey.

The programme has identified four specialisation tracks—Software Engineering; Systems Engineering & Networking; Information Systems Management and Business Process Management.

These streams were identified based on an assessment of the most demanded job skills based on the hiring trends of the IT and ITeS industries and after studying the kind of jobs that GNIIT students were engaged in over the last few quarters. All students begin with a common foundation semester, after which their performance and specific strengths are used to determine the specialisation they would opt for.

The GNIIT programme also focuses on the emerging technology platforms that will be in demand in future. But in addition, these programmes have been designed with specific industry requirements in mind.

NIIT has paid specific attention to the needs of the BPO industry that requires technical and other manpower in large numbers at short notice. NIIT has created accelerated options and exit points mid-way through the programme in order to meet these needs.

The launch of the new GNIIT programme comes at a time when the shortage of ‘right skilled IT manpower’ has become a burning issue for HR managers.

The IDC Nasscom McKinsey Ministry of CIT Task Force report has predicted a fresh demand of over 5 million IT and ITeS professionals by 2012. Of this, the ITeS industry alone will need about 2.9 million professionals.

Credit waivers for GNIIT in Ireland

ITP News Network / New Delhi

More opportunities have opened up for NIIT graduates with the Dundalk Institute of Technology (DKIT) in Ireland, allowing them substantial exemptions from its Bachelor’s and Master’s courses. Students undergoing a DNIIT programme, can get two years exemption from a four-year Bachelors Programme in Computing. Students with a DNIIT and Bachelors degree can join the final year of BSc courses or gain direct entry into the Masters in Computing course. Holders of the GNIIT title can gain direct entry into the final year of the Masters in Computing course.

This recognition of NIIT awards is particularily significant as it comes from one of the best centres of IT training in Ireland. The Dundalk Institute of Technology has played a leading role in supplying the Irish and European software industry with developers and Internet technologists.

Talking about the NIIT and Dundalk programmes, the Irish Institute’s head of computing, Dr Bob McKiernan said, “We were particularily struck by the depth of knowledge provided by NIIT courses. The technical focus also is close to the approach taken in Ireland. NIIT graduates will find that our courses give them professional skills in software development, Internet technologies and IT management.”

DKIT offers Bachelors programmes in commercial computing (software development), Inte-rnet technologies and in information technology management. The suite of Masters courses includes Masters in Computing and MSc in Software Development.
