Bechilled Says
Seniors.. Jus a query.. It actually gets sort of difficult for ppl to travel all the way without even having an idea whether they would be selected or not.. I know that this is the procedure, but you guys being the students and the seniors cant actually do anything about it... is it? I mean do we students get a chance to take some decisions in the college when we join or it is just a system and we have to follow it? i came for the meeting the first day and paid the fees.. I'm just asking this as a query, because a lot of students can give a lot of ideas to be implemented and can we actually execute that or it's the management's call always?
Bechilled,
Interesting question for a change..!
I can understand that difficulty in travelling such a long distance even without knowing if the outcome is certain. Even my class mates who joined from second list, had the same difficulty. But be assured that in our case the list was a very small cohort that there was another list too which had been modified to a longer list this year.
I want to clarify that the management you are referring to is the administration department of the entire NIT system but not the management of the DOMS. They are two different entities though the other one is the big brother.
We have been given freedom to voice our opinion and the department is very keen to address them and even applaud them. Thanks to my seniors and my class mates, there has been many changes in the system in the recent years. So there is lot of avenues for improvement and we look forward for all your ideas.
But the admission process comes directly under the administration dept and it needs to follow certain procedures. You need to understand that we are working in a central govt's deemed university/institute and not a private management school. So it takes time to get the rules amended (as you know the no of people it has to go through for approval) for such a big change.
We would certainly voice your views to the dept and the juniors can even directly inform them so the we can try to work out a change next year.
I would like to highlight that the department is completely student driven and you would receive immediate support for all your constructive ideas if they are work oriented.
