Makeover for the Admin block - a number of small touches , like attractive new display and name boards for all departments and  laying of tiles in laboratories are giving a sparkling new look to it. 

The Digital Library is becoming a lucky place - Bharat Forge has taken in 3 of the 8 shortlisted. I'm so glad for the students who are placed. These three and one more were in my personal selection list...however, the five not slected  are the toppers in the class and will surely find their opportunities elsewhere. The Digital Library is being utilised by the Placement Cell for online tests, interviews, group discussions and presentations. All facilities needed for this have been provided by the Principal and sometimes, it appears to me that like the genie in the lamp, students have to make a wish and voila, he fulfills it for them, if it is possible. They ask for the moon and manage to get the stars. 

UGC Panel is visiting the institution for confirming the autonomy status...everything's ready and we are keeping our fingers crossed. What with the college becoming a QIP centre for AICTE and this, we stand a good chance of getting the second phase of TEQIP funding. 

College is also gearing up for the local body elections. The district authorities are already fencing the perimeter of the admin block and it looks like we are going to be shut away from it till the counting. 

Third year lab exams are over and the English Practicals went off - with the usual bugs in the online test, set right after a lot of sweating and huffing and puffing. The lab was our home these four days and I don't think there were more hectic days than these. 


There should be some peace and silence in one's life after two weeks; I look forward to just classes and classes. Aahh, that seems a divine blessing. 


I wonder if the annual edition of the newsletter can be brought out in time. Keeping my fingers crossed.
