Convocation 07

Finally BIT decided to give connvocation to 2k2 batch, (thats me!).

Official announcement said,

The XVII Convocation of Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra was held on Wednesday, May 23rd, 2005 at 10 a.m. at the Golden Jubilee Auditorium. Dr. Anil Kakodkar, Chairman of Atomic Energy Commission, was the Chief Guest and delivered the Convocation Address.
Addressing the XVIIth convocation of BIT, Mesra, he said: “Solving the problems of the society should be the foremost challenge for students graduating from technical institutions. India has now become a land of opportunity with multinationals using it as a outsourcing hub.”
During his presidential address, chancellor-cum-Governor Syed Sibtey Razi said: “Students passing out from here should strive to create new technologies, innovate on existing ones and generate jobs rather than looking for one.”

Moving on..some latest developments on campus.

The LAN is working in almost all hostels. The LAN speeds are good but the internet bandwidth provided to LAN users is abysmally low. However the gaming scene is picking up. We even have DC++ hubs.

The food in hostels have become unbearable thanks to the cold and certain other factors. Even dal ( Masala water ) is served chilled in all hostels.

Its placement time for Pharma and MBA people. Trident offered 6 MBA students a package of Rs.9 LPA. Congratulations to all.

Orkut.com is blocked again. Need I say more.

and Lastly.. THERE ARE NO HEATERS IN BOYS HOSTEL ( Whoever said GIRLS have it bad)

Try having a bath at 8Am in the morning..

Thats it in this edition. Till the next one..

Enjoy..
