Hi,

I strongly believe that each and every one of you must opt for a lop top and not a desktop.. It will come in very handy for all your group assignments, papers, bplans etc contests.. outstation trips.. during summers etc. I hope I have been able to impress upon the advantages of having a lappy..

Also, it wud be better to wait for a while before buying ur lappy/ pc.. if u buy in bulk, u will get a better deal and after sales service..

Cheers.

I mean do NITIE have Wi-Fi connectivity,if yes then buying laptop would make some sense. Infact i need to bring my desktop all the way frm Calcutta,if it serves the purpose then why to dole out another 50K.And wat shld be the optimum config required to work with in case i want to upgrade it. Seniors pls shed some light on this.

As it is now clear that there is 180 seats which is open to waitlisters i mean if out of any of the 180 people who are confirmed if drops out.

if we take case of last year for 120 seats waiting list moved to more then 130. and even then only 88 people opted.

so this year as there are 180 seats my guesstimate is it will move further more then last years.

sorry to mention .. but analysis is flawed :(.. u hv forgotten to account for the pattern of calls given out.. last year most calls were in the 99+ and 98+ range.. this year.. %ile is not the main critieria.. so not all the dudes will have multiple calls !..

what collateral ?? bull.. i dont even have an evidence of what loan i hv taken.. at what interest rate etc etc.. u just hv to walk down to the branch.. oops sorry.. the branch manager comes to the college.. gives a high tea ..snacks and a boring lecture to the junta abt the facilities at sbi and why we shud take a loan from there and how within the next few days this branch will also have an ATM facility etc..
my suggestion.. eat the snacks.. take the loan.. and forget abt it.. NO COLLATERAL REQUIRED ( in nut shell).. dont ask which nut !!.

Yup I second the motion.
I hope they display a list of ppl who've paid up, so that Our fears are quelled
Seniors plz keep posting updates regarding your summers..

tHAT.. I think is not possible.. simply because, we are not privy to such data.. all we can find out is the total no. of students who have registered by 14th..

cheers.
