Saw two beautiful gently U shaped tables in the corridor and found that they were the GD tables for placement. They have been crafted from steel frames from condemned tables and benches and topped with compressed sheets by artisans from the Mechanical Department at the instance of their HOD, who also happens to be the Principal. 

Student co-ordinators were deliriously happy with the help they were getting. They are so happy that the facilities being offered to HRs do not just include shabby tables covered with some sheets, classrooms converted to panel rooms and running around for systems and rooms. Almost everything is being utilised at the Digital Library, where the interview panel rooms, conference hall and GD tables are set. This kind of centralised arrangement makes a student co-ordinator's life less miserable.

The navy blue blazers have also given our students a makeover; they look so smart, but better than all the enhanced physical appearance, what I find is that the blazers make everyone 'first among equals'. There is no difference between the students, there is a kind of equality imparted to them that gives them an edge when appearing before a panel. I love what the blazers have done to their self esteem. Once again, the initiative taken by the Principal, at the request of the student co-ordinators headed by Uday, speaks of a student-centric approach adopted by the head of the institution. 

Recruitment fever is catching up with the senior classes and one hopes to see more smiles than ever this time.
