The external exams are on for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th years. And for the most part, we are all sailing in the same boat!! 9 in 10 of us are doing those eleventh-hour studies and are wholly dependent on our bibles-All in ones! Even those of us who haven't studied the year long pray desperately to all the gods above to take care. Well, guys, The Gods ll do their job and you should do yours!
Even with all the pressure, you could save your neck.
So, all my fellow sailors, just keep these points in mind during those last few crucial minutes before the exam.
Revise- That's a miracle worker. Learning entirely new concepts will only mess up your already filled-up brain.
Go mum- If you aren't among the revising-types, then you should as well shut-up and sit silent.
Especially, if you know yourself to be a 'nervous wreck' before the exams, then talking lots will not help lots. It only contributes to your hyperactivity. Those delicately balanced answers in your head could fall over the edges! Being slow and calm is the thing. If you are desperate, don't show it.
Fill it- Most importantly, don't go writing on an empty stomach! ( I had done that for the last exam and I had a tough time trying to silent my tummy! Gives you a feeling of being weak :( )
Knock out the bad vibes - Its as simply stated as this- being pessimistic doesn't help, so why be that way! Tell yourself, "whatever the outcome of the exam, I ll be prepared for it and not feel pissed off after completion." That way you aren't all mood-off and angry after the exam.
All this said and done, let's move to the icing on the cake. - The exam.
There are some clever and smart ways of giving an illusion that you have written your answers correctly! ;) The paper-corrector could actually be mildly fooled if you be smart in presenting you paper. Here's another list of fool-proof tatics I beleive will do you good.
Underline- Now, dont start underlining every damned word and preposition. That'll drive the correcting guy crazy. Underline genuinely important words-key words.
Write in points - When writing in points, you'd give the organised look and same time fill up the pages!
Hopefully, these tips ll get the best out of you! Good luck

Pre-exam hysterics
The one hour or so before the exam commences is the time when you can see the college atmosphere and the students in a manner rarely found.
Today(28th april) happened to be the first day of external exams for the 2nd years. Trust me, its a real sight seeing friends and their hyper-conditions. What I enjoy most is the way each friend enters the college gate and the expression each gives. Those smiles and smirks which say ''Too-bad-a-position-to-bother", those tensed up nerves, those contorted faces and sarcarstic expressions. Someone walks up crying while another is uber-cool about it .
I for one had an attack of cold-headache combo(my trademark exam sickness)!
But, noone really bothers about the other and you can be as freakish as you could ever get.
Live it out. Go nailbiting. Be hysteric. Curse.
Cheers ;)

Down the memory lane...
Hello ppl,
This's Ashwin from the Comp. Science Dept., 4th yr. Looking at the previous posts, I was really prompted to post my experiences at the college. Trust me guys, it were these 4 yrs which brought about a lot of changes in me. It were these 4 yrs which brought about a complete U-turn to my life and helped me meet some amazing ppl . It were these 4 yrs which made me realize my potential(not that ive completely realized it). I still remember the day when I came with my parents in 2004 to take a look at the college and was disappointed looking at the single building which was then under construction .Dad told me not to worry too much abt building n all and focus on studies.I went and sat inside the class which was being taken by a nervous lecturer who was probably delivering his first session. I was pretty nervous looking at the crowd around who were making incessent noise in the class much to the agony of the lecturer who was getting even more nervous. At the end of the day, I was frustrated and wanted to kick myself for choosing this college. I made up my mind that day not to discuss things abt college wid my parents and made it a point to adhere to it for full 4 yrs.But today, I realize that if not for this cllge, I would not have learnt so many things, met so many ppl who would think just like me and are ready to do anything for me, probably would not have seen a college grow so much in a short span of time.
After finishing up wid the second year,during the holidays, I was caught with this bug of finding a min-project fr myself and went from pillar to post .Not many people from my class responded positively, thanks to the fact that this wasnt part of the cirriculum. Approached a couple of faculty members, who behaved as though it was a sin to do something out of the cirriculum. But after I got back to the college, I came across people from the other section who were interested in doing a mini project too. All of us couldnt do it coz of lack of awareness. That was the first time I realized the damage caused by lack of communication amongst ourselves.
One of the major lessons I learnt out of the whole experience is, it is always the students who make up an institution and not the faculty, labs, placements etc.
If the students are good enough, the complimentaries automatically follow. The initiatives have to be taken up by the students. The fire has to come from within.If things are wrong, it is the students who should come together and try to sort it out.1 Tulasi and 1 Vissu can never make things happen. It has to be hundreds of TUlasis and Vissus coming together to make a cause happen. Its not that our college doesn't have the people who cant take initiatives. You can find them in every class, every dept. its just that they're scattered. All of them need to come together.We never got the right platform for ourselves to come together. Infact we never bothered to create such a platform for ourselves to come together.Good to see the juniors putting in efforts to come together to make a difference.
Would like to congratulate the creators of this blog for their untiring efforts in posting updates inspite of the fact that they're held up with exams. Kudos to your commitment levels guys. Keep it going. Would like to end this post wid my fav. quote:
"You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winners are done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't what you want to be because of him, or her, or anybody..."

Would like to see all u juniors play a crucial role in taking our cllge into the so called ivy league..
Cheers
All the best!!

Acc. update
The accreditation team had come(on, 25 april) in their Innova cars, a total of about 10 or people.
The college had its finishing touches done and the aayas religiously swept and mopped every place a safe 15 minutes before they stepped in(they were grumbling and making faces though ;).
A friend and myself were sitting in the library(classes were locked) with our books.
At about 2 in the afternoon, the team came up to the library. They made way to the digital library(the 6 computers got their internet connection) when one of them commented on ''the library hall being too long...noise echo would be more''! Who could have pointed out such minor details!! Another asked about the ''internet speed''.
Suddenly, a person came up and asked us about the library book-issuing facilities and we explained to him the details. Then came the inevitable question(whose answer i was prepared with!) "Is everything fine? you got any grievances regarding the library? You get enough books?"
My reply was as convincing as I could get!- "Yea, we get all the material needed and we have no problems with the way things are here :P"
After further surveying the library, they left .
So guys, we did our bit in getting Acc for the college!
cheers ;)
PS: Today(26th) is the grand finale for the Acc. Fingers crossed!

The initiator's mail!
Hi Guyz,
This is Viswanath from CSE 2nd year.Hope you are happy with the new upgrades in our college, so many in so less time. really surprised to see so many changes.When i first joined the college it was far different from now.I never ever imagined it would turn up to something like this so soon. thanx to the accreditation. I have been associated with this blog, but I'm being out of this blog for few days due to certain reasons, but my intension of starting this blog was simply to give a platform to put in ideas where the present and alumni students can interact and develop themselves and also do something for the college. People have criticized me of wasting my time ... but think, college life is the most memorable and this all happens in a college.... can't we return a favor to the college????? Even if its very small , something that can improve its standards and help hundreds of students.
The first week of having the blog was exciting and encouraging enough.... but there was always that "void" feeling ,of people not really reacting the way I thought they would. Of course this is just a blog not a official website and also there was no publicity or stuff. But no one came p with any ideas..... juz think , one small idea or one small thought can change the life of hundred students..... not that we don't have ideas ..its just that we don't bother to say it out or try to make them into reality.....
Now at this point , I went through this mail from Mr.Shravan a student of CSE first batch. He came up with a really useful and practical idea and also promised to help us. This I consider the first step towards having a better college and helping students of IARE have a successful carrier ahead. Hope you people do spare sometime for this interactive blog...... 5 minutes a day , when you have no one to chat in yahoo or scrap in orkut or poke in facebook. You brain can do miracles......now don't be selfish do something to others .... we are all your friends...... Just think a small initiative from our side can change the life of hundreds of students who join our college in future and we can proudly say that " We are the students of IARE."
Wishing you all success.
yours truly,
Viswanath.
P.S: If you like our intention of starting this blog and having it, please support us ....... keep visiting and tell our friends from IARE to visit this blog and also to give in their valuable suggestions and ideas.
Tulsi's two cents:
*Thanks vishwanath for the inspiring mail.*
