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

Image
By Admin

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.

Which country is better? Germany VS Singapore | Masters studies | MS course

By Admin
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.  Winner:  Singapore Course duration:  Most of the courses...
