Do have a deadline to meet tommorrow but cudnt resist writing this post coz I had already written it in the guise of sum other person in sum other context. Various social networkin sites popular in India have their communities related to colleges filled wd such questions during this time of the year. This is a slight variant of the post mentioned above which is relevant for those seekin admission to IITK. I feel tht sum belonging to the smarter-thn-the-rest variety might just Google for IITK environment, IITK culture et cetera stuff and might find this post of mine of sum use 2 thm (Indented ones are a sample type of an omniprevalent fresher’s questions)
>I HAVE FEW QUESTIONS..
And I have few answers to give …> Q. R ther ne fresher’s party? If yes, when n where?
Yes, we have arranged for a freshers’ party at Landmark … will tht suffice? … or shud v book a tour to Nepal.>Q. Do u regularily go to Kanpur the city for shoppin or watchin movies?
Yes, IITK admin organizes trips to “Kanpur – the city” twice a week in an air-conditioned luxury bus. A demand has been raised to change tht to cars since bus is too cheapos … As for the movies, we do have shows at IITK audi … I understand its a bit uncomfortable but never mind a full scale media theatre is under construction.>Q. Do v have 2 bring a laptop?
No, each student is provided a laptop on the first day of registration. For laptop configuration see this site http://www.dell.com/content/topics/segtopic.aspx/ubuntu?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&dgc=IR&cid=11973&lid=471885>Q. Wat do u ask us 2 do in raggin?
No, actually the admin here has been much moved after watching the film Munnabhai MBBS and hence here we have a custom of juniors ragging seniors
>Q. How do u celebrate B’Days? (GPL …. ‘g’ pe laat?)
Yes, GPL is done and much more than tht … like KLPD, rapid-fire, etc etc but to get accustomed to tht, u have to arrive here soon … we look fwd eagerly to c u on d campus.>Q. Which mobile operator has the best network in the region?
Presently, IITK admin is in talks wd Relaince to bring 3G network to d campus asap, but I m afraid it might take sum time. Till thn, u can alwayz njoy free 24 hr landline phone wd ISD facility for each individual inside his/her/their room.>Q.What about room net , is this facility available for first yr students??
Plz be precise in ur ques … do u mean a mosquito net or internet … For d moment I m assumin it 2 b mosquito net, they r quite gud over here. U also hav d option of havin mosquito xitnguishers sprayed every week inside ur room>Q.What about dress code??
Do we need to follow any dress code??
Students r allowed only one of these dress combinations:
1) Jodhpuri suit of deep blue color (inspired from ex-Presi of India Dr. Kalaam)
2) only a plain colored undergarment (inspired from western superheroes … those who runnin high on patriotism can as well wear Shaktimaan’s costume)>Q.how r the hostel rooms??and electricity???
Hostel rooms are BIS (Beaureu of Indian standards, in case u forgot) approved ******* rooms wd all world-class facilities … after payin sum nominal xtra fees, u can as well live in a state-of-art suite built at Landmark.>Q.What do u do in the eves? play cricket? gym? swim? wat else?
We have snookers club, also ppl do to go for bikin daredevilry to the banks of Ganges many-a-dayz … ppl who r interested also go to discos almost religiously daily … and needless to say, we hav a swimmin complex which houses pools varyin in size from tht for beginners to five Olympic sized pools.>Q.can someone plz giv me some idea about d placements statistics?
As a matter of policy, it has been decided tht only companies wd minimum turnover of US$1000m and havin business in atleast 3 continents will b allowed to recruit students. I hope u can appreciate our concern for maintainin d levels of xcellence over here.Please lemme know if u have sum more queries. I will b more thn happy to satisfy thm
And yes I hav indeed written answers to all these questions myself and do claim all d copyrights, irrespective of whrever else u c thm.
