WARNING: German Universities prohibits the use of "UniNow" app

By Admin October 07, 2016

UniNow is one of the fast growing startup, which provides an Mobile application for the University students. The UniNow app allows the students to access the Class schedules, Cafeteria menus and Examination results in their Smartphone. This is perceived to be convenient to the students, but most of the Universities think the other way around. They fear that, the data of the students may be compromised and can be manipulated.

The main issue arises because of the Examination results and data related to the studies and course; because when the student gives permission for the UniNow app to get access, the data is stored in the UniNow servers and at the risk of manipulating the data, which is against the University rules. Apart from this, most of the Universities have their own "portal" to publish the results and when the student enters the University Credentials in this app, the user data along with the password is stored in the UniNow server.

Most of the Universities have the rule that "Sharing login information is prohibited", because it poses threat to the IT security in the campus network. The Universities fears that, if others get access to the user credentials, it is easy for anyone to use the VPN services, personal home directories, etc., which are very important and confidential.

By Admin April 14, 2018

Germany VS Singapore Deciding a path to choose, when you have lot of options in hand is very difficult. When you are applying for Masters studies, there would be a lot of confusion in terms of which country to apply for and there was a question in Quora regarding Germany VS Singapore. Trust me, even I was in the same dilemma when I wanted to pursue my Masters course. Let me throw some light on the analysis that I had done, based on my experience in Germany(Masters studies) and my observations from my friends who are studying in Singapore. Climate: Are you a person who likes Winters to be cold(around 0 degree Celsius)? Are you a person who likes to just have 2 months of Summer? If you’re from a tropical country, then there is high possibility that you will not like Germany’s climate, but on the other hand Singapore has similar tropical conditions, which makes it easier to adapt.

HOW TO FIND A PART-TIME JOB IN GERMANY?

By Admin February 05, 2016

Every student doing their Masters are eager to know about the Part-time job opportunities, which is why I wanted to write a separate post for this topic. Who doesn't want some extra money, apart from their usual 8040 euros. To make it simple, I am confining it into two types. The jobs based on: Academics (In the University) Non-academics Academics: Before searching for jobs outside, first look into your university website properly. Because, there is a high probability that you will find a HiWi job in your university under some department. But, from my experience it is kinda tough to get a HiWi job because, the professor who is going to give the job, should be convinced that you are really capable of doing the certain task and moreover, he should also convince the particular Company which is funding that project. You can look into various companies like Bosch, Audi, Volkswagen, etc., or companies related to your corresponding field, where you can f...
