Jaago NIT is a students' campaign for a better future.
This movement aims to fulfil two motives:
1) To strengthen student-alumni ties and hence improve the value of NIT Hamirpur's brand in
the outside world.
2) To make ourselves (the students) more accountable for our actions.
A Students' Parliament is being organised on Tuesday, 15th of April at the conference hall of the Auditorium between 430 pm and 630 pm.Entry for students only. Participants in the parliament are free to raise any issue and talk about anything of anything of anything.
The only criteria for participation is write out your views on this question:
“If resources (like money, time or contacts) are not a problem in the future, what/how would you
like to contribute to this institute as an alumnus?”

Top 12 things I would do, if I were to start over again
With less than a month to go before I leave this place, I thought it is but right that I share my ideas on what would be some of the things I would do differently if I were to start all over again from 1st year at NIT-H.
12) I would care less about what others thought of me and more about what I wanted for myself.
11) I would treat my batch-mates as seniors and my juniors as batch-mates. I would stay away from the 'sir/maam' culture and would encourage people calling me by my first name instead (a nick would be far more welcome!).
10) I would get a girlfriend who lives in PGH. Not long distances. Not long phone calls. But a fabulous relationship with a girl that I can one day look back and say that “Yes! she was my college sweetheart.”. Life here is just so different when you have a partner, as against when you don't have one.
9) Exercise would be a part of my daily schedule.
8) I would work on improving my spoken and written English all the time.
7) I would read a lot more books than I did in my field of interest (outside of academics).
6) I would be obsessed about participating in national level events, especially quizzes, and I would focus on becoming a top of the notch business quizzer.
5) I would certainly pick up at least one art form – either singing, dancing, a music instrument or even a new language.
4) I would look for every opportunity to be an organiser of an event and I would do my part religiously.
3) I would travel around more often and see more places.
2) I would treat my projects seriously. I would focus on interning with an industry,a foreign university and a multi-national bank respectively in each of my three summers.
and the number one:
1) I would find the senior in the final year batch that I would want to model myself after and I would work very closely with him/her.

Notes from the Tycoons Journal – P4
Day 3 and final day at camp. We head out to an hour long yoga session amidst the peace the hills always offer. By the time the heat of the sun is out, Satya and the Men erect a white board and we undergo a personality self-analysis. Hmmm, somehow, I'm just not too convinced at the end of it. The personality test says that I'm the kind of person who blames everything on himself. Well, I don't quite look at it that way; my belief is that I am responsible for the happenings in my life because of the choices I make each day. But then, what do I know!
Brunch is yummy. We click a couple of last minute keepsake pictures at the tent. And by noon, the whole troop empties the valley and marches towards the three buses that are waiting to take us back to the Capital.
7 hours later.
After battling the heavy evening traffic in Delhi, we reach Gurgaon at around 9 at night. We drive into the MDI campus (across the road from the Bata building). This will be our home for the next couple of days. After dinner that night, I head to room no. 218. Rohit Begwani is my roomie. Namma Bengaluru huduga. End of day.
