Board (CCB). Since this is a change in the process, many candidates may not be aware, and would be thinking of coming through CCB. So It's to inform you all that you can apply for admission to LNMIIT directly through our website online or offline.<br />
<br />
<br />
Also on website you can find a list of students as volunteer for Admission - 2010. You can contact them to have a idea about LNMIIT in a better way. For any clarification and complete details of process visit. <a href="http://admissions.lnmiit.ac.in/">http://admissions.lnmiit.ac.in</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7920091006083612790.post-72263913289267118332010-04-05T04:24:00.001-07:002010-04-09T06:06:42.472-07:00Excellent performance by LNMIIT students in GATE and CATThe LNMIIT students are really on the march towards excellence.<br />In the recently announced results for GATE, two LNMIITians are<br />in top 100 for CS - Rahul Nihalini at All India Rank of 21, and<br />Gowthami has a rank of 72. There are at least 5 more in the top<br />1000 ranks. So we expect about 5 students to join an IIT for MTech<br />programs.<br /><br />At the same time, we have had 4 students receive calls from 1 or more<br />IIMs. We are sure that at least in a couple of cases, these calls will<br />convert to admission offers. Students have also done well in other<br />graduate admission tests like JMET, MAT, etc.<br /><br />It is heartening to note that the percentage of students who go for<br />a second degree from LNMIIT continues to be very large compared<br />to other fine institutions in India, and we are proud of it.<br /><br /><br />Source : Dheeraj Sanghi (Director)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7920091006083612790.post-3565253432243333332008-03-19T09:54:00.000-07:002008-12-13T05:25:21.138-08:00Harsh Shines Again !!<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_m0eiwE60zag/R-FIyjN5KOI/AAAAAAAAAFo/mW0o0O4LPog/s1600-h/MT1903CA.jpg"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5179501079736953058" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_m0eiwE60zag/R-FIyjN5KOI/AAAAAAAAAFo/mW0o0O4LPog/s320/MT1903CA.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-family:georgia;">Harsh Yadav, an outperforming alumni of LNMIIT has added yet another feather to our cap by scoring a mind-blowing <strong>All India Rank 9 </strong>in <strong>GATE'08</strong> for <strong>CS</strong> branch.<br /><br />Always an illustrious coder, Harsh has previously also made LNMIIT proud by making it to </span><a href="http://icpc.baylor.edu/"><span style="font-family:georgia;">ACM ICPC </span></a><span style="font-family:georgia;">Regionals in 2005 and again in 2006 , and cracking Code4Bill in 2006.

One month later we all got one. Now almost everyone has one, on-campus or off-campus we managed. Now as more and more facts appear we are again crying hoarse. Almost everyone(barring one exception - Anshul Khanijo, as far as i know) has been placed in 3-4lacs bracket. From what I hear thats just not enough.<br /><br />Earlier, at least we heard that some better companies may visit campus later in 4th year. But even those things have dried up. Our only hope seems to be off-campus placements. But the problem here is that we don't have the faintest of idea about to approach that sort of thing.<br /><br />I have reasons to believe that not just few but many of us are capable of securing much better jobs. Lack of communication and co-ordination seem to be doing us in. I guess its time we actually we start taking these things seriously. We have just one semester left and time is running out.<br /><br />Its been a long time since we heard from institute in this regard. Maybe, we should gather information on our own and share it. With proper co-ordination we can at least have a taste of what its like when you raise the bar. Some of us might even get placed. This blog in my opinion is the ideal place for such a discussion. Creating a list of companies and their corresponding schedules would be a step in this direction. Unless we act nothing can be done. Relying on institute hasn't exactly been a sweet experience in past.<br /><br />I hope you are not satisfied with what you have right now. Share and move up...<br /></div>Akhilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09381447421039217201noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7920091006083612790.post-24698080217054087482007-09-05T04:27:00.000-07:002008-12-13T05:25:21.711-08:00Innovation Icon 2007<div style="text-align: justify; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_m0eiwE60zag/Rt6S--6we2I/AAAAAAAAACY/yEfgknpxCAE/s1600-h/9115_1.gif"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_m0eiwE60zag/Rt6S--6we2I/AAAAAAAAACY/yEfgknpxCAE/s320/9115_1.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5106680638223711074" border="0" /></a><br /></span><span class="copy1" style="font-size:100%;"><a href="http://coin.csc.com/register/student_form.php">Innovation Icon 2007</a> is a unique opportunity for students of engineering, and business colleges to demonstrate their skills, and turn their innovative ideas into real business applications.

The blast spots, namely Lumbini Park and Gokul Chat in Koti are both popular recreation destination for the localites.</span><br /></span><div style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-family:lucida grande;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" >Pic Details</span><span style="font-size:85%;"> : The pic shows the book "The Complete Reference : Java" that was purchased on the same day by a B.Tech. student from Koti(the hub of technical books in Hyd) who got killed in the blast at Gokul Chat.</span><br /><br />Just the very next day, Police succeeded in detonating 19 other unexploded bombs- most fitted with timers and placed in plastic bags - at bus stops, by cinema halls, road junctions, pedestrian bridges, near public water tap, etc. Seems like terrorists had plans to explode the whole city !! (Just few hours before the blasts, the city police seized Rs. 2.36 crore in counterfeit notes smuggled into the city)<br /><br />From last several weeks, the city has been observing several hoaxes to major IT companies(including Microsoft, D.E.Shaw & Co. and Oracle) spread across the city. There is a growing feeling of unease in the industrial sector, specially in IT sector, in the wake of these twin blasts.<br /><br /></span><span id="lblStory" style="font-size:100%;">Why is Hyderabad becoming a soft target for terror attacks? While that's a question that investigating agencies will have to probe and answer; </span><span style="font-size:100%;">its surely a high alarm for the government to re-introduce acts like POTA, TADA, etc. to take strict action against the terrorists. On the other hand, the residents of the city also need to take extra precautions while visiting such crowded places.<br /><br />One good thing, I observed here was that after the blasts there were NO communal riots (quite unlike Gujrat) and all citizens are helping restore order in the capital. Although, today a strike has been called by a political party, but even then, the city is observing complete law & order.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:85%;">*Sincere Thanks to many of my friends for showing concern and calling me shortly after the blasts to confirm my well-being ! </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" >Am so indebted to all of you !!!</span><span style="font-size:85%;"> At the time of blasts I was working in my office just a few kms from Lumbini Park.

I am glad to observe that LNMIIT is also playing its role in this progress, by empowering us all with state-of-the-art skills to carry this baton ahead.<br /><br />It gives me immense pleasure to observe all my fellow batch mates doing well in their respective domains. I specially convey my congratulations to all those who could not manage to get placement through college, but fought on their own to grasp jobs no-less-better than those offered at campus. In doing so, they have achieved self-confidence as a bonus gift along with their first job.<br /><br />It looks like(and I sincerely wish too !) that this year we shall achieve 100% placement. But even if that's not the case, some of your seniors have already proved that there is nothing to worry much about.<br /><br />This great day I wish you could spare few moments to go through the following lines extracted from an interview of Shri J.R.D.Tata :<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">"nothing worthwhile is ever achieved without deep thought and hard work, ... that one must think for one self ... and never accept at their face value slogans and catch phrases to which unfortunately our people are too easily susceptible, .. that one must forever strive for excellence, ..or even perfection, in any task, ..no matter how small, .. and never be satisfied with the second best , .. that no success or achievement in material terms is worthwhile unless it serves the needs or interests of the country and its people,... and is achieved by fair and honest means, .."</span><br /><br /></span>Lets all pledge to dream BIG, and promise to put our souls in achieving our goals, .. Lets all pledge not to compromise with our dreams, .. as this kills the very meaning of our life, .. Lets pledge to look for solutions rather than problems, ..<br /><br />Its no more than a few months of my experience as a software tester, but by now, I realize one thing for sure, .. "the greatest software tester is not the one who finds the maximum bugs, ... but the one who gets the maximum number of bugs solved, .."<br /><br />Perhaps, the same applies to life !<br /><br />Jai Hind !!<br /><br /></div>Abhishek Rajpurohithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08920211954403079609noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7920091006083612790.post-54923357545139064462007-08-13T05:36:00.000-07:002008-12-13T05:25:22.742-08:00Techniche '07 : 7 - 9 Sept , IITG<span style="font-size:100%;"><a style="font-family: georgia;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_m0eiwE60zag/RsBRcO1BU5I/AAAAAAAAAAM/jcTnF9Acos8/s1600-h/techniche07.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_m0eiwE60zag/RsBRcO1BU5I/AAAAAAAAAAM/jcTnF9Acos8/s320/techniche07.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5098164323642069906" border="0" /></a><br /> </span><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:100%;" >Hey Geeks & Budding Managers !!</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:100%;" > . . . . . . here comes the 9th edition of <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.techniche.in/">Techniche</a>, the annual techno-management festival of IIT-G.</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:100%;" ><br /><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.techniche.in/">Techniche</a> is a pragmatic endeavor, aimed to increase the understanding of this human built world around us.

And thus, choosing a proper BTP.<br /><br />BTP is about experimenting some creative idea that might have clicked you during the last three years of your college education. You had so many courses, but then each didn't fascinate you. So many lab courses, ... but only a few where working extra hours was fun !<br /><br />Here are some tips based on my learning in past, regarding selecting a challenging BTP for yourself :<br /><br /></span><ul> <li><span style="font-size:100%;">Go after your INNER INSTINCT. Choose something that passionates you the most(Its no ordinary project, its YOUR project !!)</span></li> <li><span style="font-size:100%;">Think CREATIVE, ... replicating any existing solution won't give you that level of inner satisfaction</span></li> <li><span style="font-size:100%;">Be PRACTICAL, ... some of you might also be appearing for CAT/GRE, .. so you need to take a light-weight(in terms of effort required) BTP, .. </span></li> <li><span style="font-size:100%;">Working in TEAM is always better(unless the team is not chosen appropriately)</span></li> <li><span style="font-size:100%;">Do proper PLANNING, chalk out your work in stages</span></li> <li><span style="font-size:100%;">In case you feel that, not enough resources are available in college to fulfill your BTP requirements, look out for them in other academic institutes like IITs or IIITs. Put a mail to some Professor over there including an abstract of your BTP. Chances are less, but you might be lucky enough to receive a response.(I had received from Vision Lab, IITK) </span></li> <li><span style="font-size:100%;">Find out if any of your seniors is working on things relevant to your BTP, they might fetch you some industrial interaction</span></li> <li><span style="font-size:100%;">Read a good amount of material regarding your BTP before finalizing it. Having a great idea is not good enough, you must also have a way to implement it !</span></li> <li><span style="font-size:100%;">If you are still unable to think of anything good enough for BTP, you might go to library and browse the BTP reports of your seniors and if any interests you, you might contact the senior to help you think more in that direction.</span></li> </ul><span style="font-size:100%;"><br />Well, I really loved working on my BTP, .. despite maintaining my commitments with Microsoft, semester studies, as well as my CAT preparation. And that was solely because, it was MY project, MY abstract, and MY own implementation. Hope you will too enjoy similar experiences once you start-off working on your BTP , ...<br /><br />All the best !<br /></span></div>Abhishek Rajpurohithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08920211954403079609noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7920091006083612790.post-91591868236597960412007-07-23T04:03:00.000-07:002007-08-20T01:54:49.281-07:00Is Google planning to launch a Job Search portal ?<span style="font-family: georgia;font-size:100%;" ><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Since past few years, jobs sites have been mushrooming like anything. And still, the market seems to comfortably afford some more key players. Several start-ups have leveraged this, and raised a good amount of capital from their VCs. For example,<a href="http://www.simplyhired.com/"> simplyhired.com</a>(launched in early 2005), <a href="http://www.indeed.com/">indeed.com</a>(launched in late 2004) have made a substantial growth, inspite of existing giants <a href="http://www.monster.com/">monster.com</a> and <a href="http://www.careerbuilder.com/">careerbuilder.com</a></span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">With a large amount of job-related info being put online by these jobs sites, it is becoming harder for a user to quickly figure out jobs of her interest. And thus, job search seems to be a promising market opportunity. But when we were to search for a particular job opportunity, several vertical search engines seem to perform much better compared to the broad-based engines like <a href="http://www.google.com/">Google</a> or <a href="http://www.yahoo.com/">Yahoo</a>.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Yahoo responded to this trend by having a separate vertical-search for jobs in its <a href="http://hotjobs.yahoo.com/">hotjobs</a> portal. And Google, introduced(in November,2005) an on-line classified advertising system that allows employers, job boards, and other organizations to post job openings. But that service wasn't a big success and is still 'beta' , as of now.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Now, it seems that Google is experimenting the concept of a Job Search portal, to fetch some customers looking for online jobs advertising. As an exciting revelation of underground facts, I am providing the link here, for you all to play with : <a href="http://www.google.com/custom?hl=en&client=pub-3670182845621368&channel=5131423031&cof=FORID%3A1%3BAH%3Aleft%3BCX%3AJob%2520Search%3BL%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Farmedia.co.googlepages.com%2FJob_Search_Logo.jpg%3BLH%3A58%3BLP%3A1%3BVLC%3A%23777777%3BGFNT%3A%23EEEEEE%3BGIMP%3A%23EEEEEE%3BDIV%3A%23EEEEEE%3B&q=&btnG=Search&cx=015666605090711734127%3Aasi36q_ahju">Google Job Search</a> . (try searching for more info on this on Google !)</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">As of now, this seems to be in a pretty nascent stage, as it is just using an old instance of the index of Google and listing only URLs having certain keywords in them(typically 'jobs', 'career', etc.) It seems to be using some special instance of Google Custom Search.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">One funny thing to note is that, it shows advertisements too. Now, that makes me wonder, who will pay for advertising on a website which is not officially out yet ? Yet another thing is that besides Job search, there is 'sm' written, .... now, I knew about 'TM', but what does 'sm' stand for ?? "Search Mark" , ... heheheh</span><br /><br /></span>Abhishek Rajpurohithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08920211954403079609noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7920091006083612790.post-80835365183176279612007-07-23T01:51:00.000-07:002007-07-23T02:26:19.204-07:00Letter from a Pioneer<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;" >Hi folks, </span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;" >Welcome to yet another year @ LNMIIT(am I not addressing freshers too, .. ? ... well, how come they knew about this blog .. ?).
