   It’s indeed a state of shame to see the happenings in such
   prestigious Institutions as IIT KGP. It’s a total failure
   from the part of administration to mishandle the environment.
   Students should be treated as children, who should learn from
   their teachers-should respectfully copy them.

   The failure of administrative officials (who are
   none but respected teachers)has brought the whole students
   community to a state of bitterness, un-faithfulness, lack of confidence and disbelieve towards their teachers and the whole Institute which indeed is painful to bear at this age.

   This state demands an urgent CBI-based investigations in every sectors to
   demolish corruption, remove pessimism and bring back morality
   and human touch to the temple of learning. Everybody has to learn
   that educational Institute is not the place of business rather a
   place to inculcate good qualities along with good education
   to the young learners.

   Furthermore, there is a need to equip the whole town
   with a big hospital, shopping mall, parks, lake and restaurants to
   freshen up the mind and hence, encouraging innovative thinking
   power. The Administration should take this challenge and coordinate
   with the ministry, rather than showing their power just for
   achieving a temporary responsibility. The teachers should
   be allowed to excersize their freedom in educating students
   in every respects and stay happily rather than in constant agony. Students should enjoy their learning and be motivated to practice discipline, honesty, helpfulness anong with learning their subject and being interested in research.

   This failure if does not bring any drastic
   change to our system- we would soon be converted into
   ‘local-College’.

   Hi ppl,

   I am writing this after reading an article on Times of India’s website regarding slowdown of hiring by MNC’s at IIT/IIM (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/NEWS/India/MNCs-steering-clear-of-IIT/IIMs/articleshow/4831739.cms). The article says that MNC’s hired 643 students from kgp in 2008 while the number declined to 44 in 2009. That to me is a very sharp decline and I have serious doubts regarding the genuinity of this data. Can any informed person throw some light on this???

   Hello Satyam,
   As we understand it, the numbers given in the TOI article were incorrect. The institute placement cell has contacted TOI and asked them to rectify the mistake.

   No, while the figure is absolutely wayward, useless and derogatory, it is not TOI’s mistake by any means..

   These figures have been presented in the Rajya Sabha and the basis is the data sent by our institute.. The institute goofed up big time as they do not understand what a MNC is in layman’s terms.. It is our institute and our great employees goofed up.

   Any1 acquainted with the insti will know who goofed up..take a guess..
   These people have no regard for PR, bad press and the bad vibe such reports produce, not to mention the depressing reaction it evokes… No wonder none of the top JEE rankers come to kgp.. why wud any1, given such crappy reports.
