JNTU has brought down the axe and it has hit us real hard with its full-on change in the pattern of examinations.The changes will be effective this semester onwards and will be applicable to all the years.They go thus...
1.Each day of the internal exams will consist of 2 sessions each for a subject.
Timings : 10-12 and 2-4 p.m
2.Each session has 2 parts- Objective type and subjective type.
3.Objective paper(for 20 marks)will be conducted for a duration of 20 mins and will consist of multiple choice, fill in the blanks,T/F and match type questions.
4.The Subjective paper(for 20 marks, 90 mins) will consist of 6 Qs of which 4 have to answered.
5.Both the desc. and obj. papers will consist of 4 sets, each with a different bunch of Qs.
6.Loaning and interchanging of articles during the exam is not allowed.
7.Students are not permitted to leave the hall till the end of the exam.
The CSE HoD's words come to my mind "JNTU has done this because their leniency has been misused". Hacked online papers,leaked internal papers to mention a few of the taken-for-granted tactics.
Perhaps the major advantage of this schedule is the scraping of the online exams(which were just beginning to yeild 20/20s).Also, not to forget, you gotto do the real studying this time.Upto you to make the system work for you!
Good luck everyone.

Rite now!!!
Well...We are back with the latest buzz doing round the college...Read on!!!
First of all the news of all that happened after the protests on the campus...The next day our principal called up a meeting with the 2nd year CSE people in the seminar hall and tried giving explanation but then the boy's mama turned up with the TRS guy and again the meeting went in vain...The classwork for CSE 2nd years didnt carry on as usual for the next two days but now everything's rite as the principal of Malla Reddy college has resigned and our principal has refused to take any further step until the police investigation points to him in anyway...
Our college has been witnessing things that weren't even heard of in the past...After the CSI, we recently had Mr. Rodicks holding an workshop in our college.This gentleman is an expert aero modeller havin a considerable experience...The participants were given ideas on how things are made up...They even made some of them in the workshop that stretched for two days...
After the first internal exams of the freshers, now the danger lurks for the seniors as they await their results with their fingers crossed...Not a day passes when this terrible thing isint mentioned...With the rumour mills working at their best we can expect the results to be out this minute instead of waiting for days...Well but the news is that the supplementary exams are not gonna be held as usual in January but instead they r gonna be after the semester exams giving a break of just 1 week to prepare...Sounds like OU...
The sports scenario in the college has seen a sudden rise as the registers of the sports rooms are taking more entries each day...This, I suppose, is because of the lake being completely dry and renewed hopes that sports would happen just the same...Recently volleyball and throw ball has witnessed a new high with crowds standing there for hours witnessing the practise sessions... Girls can be seen doing their part as they come in with the throw ball...Cricket is being played in the area where the lake used to be mossy at its best...Basketball is just the same as it never lost its patriots...lake or no lake...
The canteen has now more to offer with even non vegetarian on their menu...Non - veggies can now enjoy the "Chicken Fried Rice" being offered at the canteen at a price of Rs. 25 per plate.Lets wait for the day when we have pizzas and sushi's on the list ;-)
Finally the management has decided to hold the management freshers party on Saturday that is 27th of December.The notices have gone up to all the concerned classes and the preparations are in a full swing...Seniors leaving no stone unturned to make a memorable day for freshers...The schedule goes thus that the juniors and seniors will have a "interactive session" from 10 am to 1pm and then on a DJ has been roped in to make the day till the buses leave....
So friends this is all the college has to offer these days...We are sorry for the long time no see thing...Promise to be back at the earliest with some more about our IARE!!!

Protests
The death of a CSE 2nd year student, Sai Kiran during the late hours of Saturday, 7th Dec, led to protests in front of college by all the students demanding justice be done.
The real reason behind his death(suicide or otherwise?) has not yet been confirmed although we have learned of the circumstances he was in. The story goes thus...
Kiran had gone to Malla reddy college on saturday posing as a student of that college. He was later caught by the authorities while trying to sneak out a text book from their library. The complaint against him was taken to our principal, P.C.Rao sir for which sir asked them to take whatever action they felt he deserved since he was caught on their premises. The boy's parents were also contacted and asked to report to the MR college.
The rest of story has various versions. The boy, it seems later contacted his family and said he would come home. However, when his mother reached the college, he had by then left and did not return home that night. The next morning, his dead body(in a very gruesome condition) was found on the train tracks.
What was on his mind?
We'll never know what really happened towards the end. Whether it was the MR college authorities who shouted at him or his parents' scoldings over the phone that caused him to go into such a depressed state of mind. One can only guess what was most likely to have happened.
Monday Dec 08 '08
The following day, in the college, no student who knew of the incident, entered the college.
Everyone collected before the gates and the slogan "We want justice" was repeatedly voiced.
ABVP activists, media and some TRS people found their way to the lead of the Dharna.
What did everyone want?
Many were against the principal's way of throwing the matter off his hands. Most said,"He should have dealt with the student instead of leaving the matter to MR people","He must be sacked". Everyone wanted an explanation from P.C Rao sir himself, but he did not turn up infront of the crowd.
Secondly, an explanation of what actually transpired in the MR college was needed.
Politics?
A few members of the TRS political party involved in the proceedings. A guy among them lived close by Kiran's house and had therefore come. They merely tried to sensationalize the whole affair.
Media?
A less known media house came to cover the protests and were completely anti-princi in their reports.
Police?
The SI of dundigal, came along and took statements from Kiran's close freinds.
Faculty?
Sharma sir, very admirably tried to negotiate with all the students.
Principal?
For all those of you who think our principal sumgly locked himself up in the college because 'he didin't give a damn' are wrong. Sir was infact dealing with some unruly TRS guys and got quite nervous. He was adviced to not come out, in fear of being mobbed by students.
MR college?
After about an hour of sitting outside the college gates, everyone began dispersing. Sharma sir, convinced most students to disappear from the scene and head to the buses and go back home.
A few students along with princi sir then made their to MR college to discuss the situation.
There too, TRS people and the boy's mama disrupted the discussions by demanding compensatory money for the death. They asked for a good 20 lakhs! Our princi sir was unnerved by their behaviour and left the place.
What now??
The matter hopefully won't be rested till the real reasons are out

CSI - A Start
Today,some of the cobwebs,so familiar to all the student chapters coming up in our college, were dusted off the CSI(Computer Society of India) student branch. Although the college's CSI branch was recognised by the CSI,Hyderabad and we were even issued a fanciful,laminated certificate for the same way back in september, only now have things started to appear brighter for the society.
During the last hour,today,a crude voting was done to elect the administration team from among the volunteer students.All the students who had joined the chapter(read, paid money for it in April), were assembled in the seminar hall and a 'supporters, raise your hands' poll was conducted for each post. At the end of the day,we got an admirable team of leaders.
President: Kunal,CSE 3A
Vice President: Bindu CSE 3B
Secretary: Rahul CSE 2A
Treasurer: Vijay CSE 3A
As per KVN Murthy sir, the inaugural function for the chapter will be held within the following 2 weeks. Soon after,the chapter must spring into action with PPTs, seminars and what-nots, with an event being held every month.
With every pair of my fingers crossed, I hope CSI will stand up to its word, and yes, those of us who are the members must co-operate in every way, so that it does not go the ASI way.
Best Wishes.

Goin On...
Da college has got a lot more to talk about these days...Check it out as we put in a few things in here..
To begin with the college has got a boring and empty luk...Da canteen lost many of its loyal costumers...thanx to fact tht all da 2nd, 3rd and 4th years along wid MCA are out relaxing after what seemed to be lenthy and roller coaster(some gud...sum bad...) kind exams...We are at our places relaxing n da freshers are battling it out wid their first internal exams...All set to begin wid the commencement of next month...All the Best freshers...Dis is the only internal u ll read for(Experience says so)...so dont leave it wid plans to cope up later...Give them ur best shot n TOP THEM ALL...neway u ll get busy wid different things for the rest two descriptives...
M Tech:
Cheers IAREians!!!Once again we are topping the list wid one more first in the state...10th of last had seen the commencement of the M Tech programmes for Computer Sciences and Aerospace.Many of our faculty has taken admission into it n r nw bak to the benches... :-)They will b carrying on wid their teaching as well their classes running from 1::30 PM to 4:00 PM on weekdays...Thumps up to all the students and faculty handling the stream...Congrats!!!
Lake:
"All the water sports in the college are now indefinitely postponed as the water level has fallen to dangerous levels and is not at all enough to swim leave rowing and other water sports as planned"...True guys the much talked abut IARE lake can be a thing of past in the new year the water has fallen drastically rising the hopes that v can host the cricket tournaments on our own grounds givin us tht home ground advantage...And yea there can be Annual Day as well...So lets just hope tht it dries up real fast till then fingers crossed...
Brainwaves:
This was a management fest held in the premises on 14th Nov evn as we were struggling wid the buks...There seemed to be everything frm paper presentations and debates to all sorts of fun events including balloon stamping,treasure hunt and lots more...We did see participants running round the campus wid hints in their hands for the treasure...What seemed the most applaudable part was the sponsors which included GMR group,ING Vysya and Club Mahindra!!!Great goin guys...Well done!!!
All .... things come to an end!!!
Now this is gonna be the thing we all are gonna sit up and notice...We have heard a million times that all the good things come to an end one or the other day...I prefer leaving the title wid a blank as tis up to u to decide whether this thing was gud or bad...JNTU has finally risen to the occasion and from this year on there will be NO ONLINES...jus 3 descriptive and their average...Thts it!!Onlines...first began wid the batch of 2004 and now ends wid 2008 batch...the reasons are unknown though...some say tis coz of bits being already available on the net before hand and some say coz of the fact that on many occasions JNTU has fallen short of requirements as many times we get the wrong answers and sumtimes options wid sumthing tht luked like chocs all da way...Many depended on it for the luck factor it involves n many hated it for its cons...Anyway they are not a part of JNTU from this year...But we are not that lucky as the batches presently pursuing it will have to face them...
So frendz this is about da college - IARE.
Till we get back to college on 1st of Dec...Have a nice time at home wid movies...frendz...and anything u like...the bottom line is : ENJOY!!!

Night after night!
The end-semester exams are on full-swing and everyone's at their wit's end!
The days seem short and no amount of time is enough. Portions are gigantic, even with the AIOs to the rescue. Sleep is the last thing on your mind but sadly you “just fall asleep”, waking up to find its “just too late” and somehow unfair. If you want to successfully do that ‘night-out’ and you just can’t, then this article is what you should be reading.
Follow these tried and tested tips unless you have deviating sentimental commitments regarding them!
- Universally known sleep-buster –coffee. Let coffee be your water!
- Don’t lie down and read, unless you are good at it.
- Shift your place of study. Furniture to floor to bed(sitting position).
- Be scared. You are doing this night out cause you are scared about messing up the next day, right? Then just keep that fear going.
- If and when you feel that sleep-monster pressing down your lids, react in an instant. Stand immediately. Walk. Laugh. Pinch. Whatever. None’s watching you, buddy.
-Keep your feet dipped in a bucket of cold water!
- Dread sleeping.
- Write and learn.
- Do portions which include problems (numerical solving). Nothing is as sleep-inducing as boring, long theory answers.
- Study portions you are fond of.
- Don’t ever, ever give up sleep totally. You don’t want to sleep in the exam hall! So sleep a min. of 3 hours.
- Derive inspiration from you other slogging mates. You are not doing it alone. Together, ‘we shall overcome’.
But most importantly, you should want to study. Who knows you could be so much in flow with it that you simply forget about sleeping! If you find yourself spending more time trying to stay awake rather than learning, then just go sleep! This isn’t your cup of tea.
Happy studying!
All the best.
