Risking being whipped, how about someone creating something on the lines of 'league tables' about various institutes based on set criteria. Some common denominators of interest to EM residents that could be used are (certainly not in order of priority):

a Education & Training
b Research facilities
c Places to hangout in the town (of course in free time!!!)
d Study Leave
e Accommodation and facilities for trainees
f Fees/Stipend
g Supportive Bosses/Staff
h Attitude of other depts in the centre towards EM
i Availability of other paraclinical and technical support at work
j Success rates at exams of candidates from the said centre etc etc

WARNING: NEPI may not necessarily be the right forum for this kind of activity.

With so many institutes popping up like wild mushrooms, this may be a good indicator of performance and also would be a good guide to future aspirants.

Beware, this system would only work if people scored their institutes fairly and not out of 'hatred' or worse still 'loyalty'!!![/quote]
