By Vikas Vaidya


Maharashtra State Board of Technical Education (MSBTE) has patented eight projects prepared by students of various polytechnic colleges in State. Around 26 projects are in pipeline, the applications of which have been filed for patenting. Out of the eight projects the two are from Vidarbha. They include Agnihotri School of Technology, Wardha and P R Patil Institute of Polytechnic and Technology, Amravati. In the projects those are in pipeline has two institutes from Vidarbha, they include P R Patil Institute of Polytechnic and Technology, Amravati and Priyadarshini Polytechnic, Nagpur
MSBTE has been conducting contest under ‘Promoting Creativity and Talent’ for various polytechnic colleges in State. The judge committee comprising of academician, industry expert selects the project and MSBTE give away the award.
MSBTE has from last two years been conducting "Project Competition" for final year
diploma students at various institutions in Maharashtra state. This initiative is taken to motivate students in preparing good and innovative projects has met with
substantial success. The Governing Council of MSBTE, in its meeting expressed happiness over the good response from students and appreciated their efforts in
preparing innovative, creative projects that can be patented.
Dr P M Khodke, Director of MSBTE, the man behind these initiatives said, “The patenting is National and it involves MSBTE, students, college, guide. The commercial rights of the project will be with students. It is called institutional patenting. Our students have talent, creativity, but it is never appreciated. Teachers do the research but that is not highlighted. Unfortunately these teachers fail to guide the students on such projects. So, MSBTE has made a planning. How we can do talent search in State, was the question came to my mind. I thought about it. I wanted creativity. I started project competition.
“While organising contest, we have set 10 indicators- they include environment pollution should not be there, it should suit Indian culture etc. So we conducted project competition. Students needed attractive prizes. That time I thought that patenting should be done. The number of patented projects would get increased. We filed the patent. We did not go for winning projects. First we invited projects from students. Last year we got only 9 projects and eight projects got patented. This year we did the job through expert advisor. We asked him to select the project which he finds to get patented. He gave a list of 49 projects. We selected 26 and applied for patenting. I want to have patent movement,” stated Dr Khodke.

Employability Enhancement Scheme


The next project which is again the brainchild of Dr P M Khodke is Employability Enhance Scheme. About this he said, “We will be conducting test. The students who score 70% will be given a good prize. The test will be on-line. Those appear in this test will get to know about their employability. Which of their areas are weak, how to cope with the loopholes etc., which can be tested. It’s a sample testing. This will help us in increasing employability.”

Now Maharashtra Government has refused to give admission in the State quota of Post Graduate intake. Due to severe shortage of MBBS seats in the country, most of the Indian students are opting for medical colleges in China, Russia, Central America, the Philippines among others every year. Getting the degree in these countries is relatively cheaper. A student can complete MBBS abroad in less than Rs 30 lakh. In the state, the student has to pay, apart from the fee, a donation of up to Rs 80 lakh to get a seat in management quota. All this totals to Rs 1.5 crore. Earliers these students had to obtain eligibility certificate from MCI. This data has been obtained from Board of Intermediate Education to verify the age and qualifications for doing MBBS in foreign countries. Now MCI has
