“Just a suggestion.. please ensure you have an equally active forum n articles when the elected candidates complete their term and grill them on reasons they could not fulfill their proposals. This mite be a deterrent for people to put up any hollow or eye catching populist proposals.”

I have seen the sop and I can certainly say that Matah has an edge over his competitor. The answers were wil composed and nyone who saw the question answer round could not help but get impressed by his confidence and command on stage. As VP (oh he will win….) if he maintains that confidence cum effort, I expect to see some meaningful changes in KGP.

Whooh
This was the masala schols ave lacked over years.. The last time they made such news was when they published a KTJ biased article three year back (I belong to SF; u mite have guessed that ) We ensured a tie up with Schols ave for the remaining years
M not too sure what purpose this comment section fulfills but its entertaining nevertheless.

n yeah even the disclaimers astonish cos u have all the information n rights to tell chalk from cheese. At least schols ave as a neutral body can certify the facts n clear the confusions.

I believe each of the candidates during the VP SOP Box were asked to begin with the defense of their best proposals.
Subham’s idea to promote the alternate careers group was ill-conceived. CFA, FRM are qualification examinations for people in the investment profession. Not withstanding the over enthusiasm with which some of us aspire for these qualifications without the requisite credentials, it is very irresponsible to divert funds from the gymkhana for their promotion.
Our technical education is being partly funded by the tax payer and it is ludicrous to divert funds from the institute to defeat the very purpose for which they are being provided.
Candidates have in the past appeared for such examinations and should be left to spend their own time, money and resources to gather information about such alternatives.
It would have been very noble if you had atleast made a mention of promoting IES ( Indian Engineering Services) as an option whose popularity is sadly way below that of CFA,FRM,UPSC among our students.
I can assure everybody that fewer than 30 people are appearing for the CFA Level 1 examination in June and not around 150 as claimed.

I would wish both the candidates best of luck and ask that the above proposal be not implemented even if Subham ends up winning.

First of all let me congratulate you all for documenting the single most enlightening conversation ever read by me in Karaghpur. I really got to know a lot of “facts” by your above conversation, and i really wonder how much of it is true.

I am a PG student of HJB Hall of Residence, and honestly I don’t even know which “pact” i belong to. Incedently i happened to be present at yesterday’s SOP Box, for the vice preseident post. And I must say that who ever wins doesnt matter much to me as I will be passing out. But Almost all the information given in the forum against the candidates is wrong.

I have my younger brother P.Tharun (Mechanical Engg) in 1st yr in MMM Hall, and we together watched the SOP yesterday, He also mentioned that he like Digvijay better, because he was smart, and he liked his proposals, and about this DEpartment change percentage, he did not know about it, and i really think that no one outrightly will lie to innocent first years. I on the other hand found that both the candidates were not as good as a VP should be, but all i can say is that Mr. Shubham Maltah was little vague about his proposals, and could not answer and satisfy the panel delegates present there. I don’t know how election works as i did not participate in last year’s elections, but i would suggest that stop the yellow journalism above and watch the video if it is available on local share. Mr. Digvijay Gangeja i really do hope you do not back off from your proposals and complete the job which you have taken at your hand.

guys come above this hall politics . You would get plenty of opportunities for doing poltu , But keep this post, post of VP above poltu . VP is the most important post as far as students interests are concerned . Give the most deserving one the opportunity to serve your interests .
Do not vote for reasons that one of the two is from your hall or your department or pact or even your friend . Think for the benefit of the whole student community . Every vote will count and will make the difference . Show that you students of this elite institution . make sure that you go to vote and even motivate others to do the same.
If you have any confusions or you missed the sop , go and download the sop video from DC and have a look.
