Detailed Mail from Faculty - II

This was posted as a comment to "Detailed mail from faculty"

Hello,

This mail should be seen as an extension of our first mail.Paucity of time forced us not to include all relevant names in one stroke but we sure would not like to offend any deserving person by excluding him from this "Sanjeev Saxena Roll of Honour".We are still taking a great risk of physical violence by these goons against us and our families but the truth should prevail against all odds.So here goes the second list.Understand that some of these people are directly involved whereas some others are more like fringe elements in this setup;not because they do not wish to play a bigger role but because they are not considered suitable for anything more by Sanjeev Saxena.In short,their perceived utility-index is a little low,so they have to be content with whatever roles they are assigned with by sanjeev saxena.The list is as below :-

(1)Dr.Sanjay Sharma : Prof.H.B.Khurasia's nephew.Was selected as a faculty in this institute riding precisely on the strength of this connection.Is a very corrupt and unscruplous person.Has been on deputation as Regional Officer,A.I.C.T.E. and handles M.P.,Gujarat & Chhattisgarh.Is based at the regional office of AICTE in Bhopal.Has made crores of money over the last few years and is another potenial case for IT sleuths.Ask any private college owner in Bhopal and you will have stories about his corruption.Does not allow any file to move an inch unless his palm is greased heavily.Ofcourse,he doesn't charge anything from Radharaman Institute and the reason is not difficult to understand!!!!!

(2)Dr.Alok Mittal : Is a higly corrupt & unethical person and thus fulfills the criterion for making it to sanjeev saxena's list of close cronies.Give him any responsibility and he will start eating money shamelessly.Was a hostel warden in the past and this was when his campus house was stone-pelted by a rampaging mob of hostel inmates as they had concrete evidence of his mony-eating activities and mass scale corruption.Was the Public Relations Officer(P.R.O.)in the college till last year and his primary duty was to generate adequate publicity for ashutosh sharma,sanjeev saxena and associates by managing all local newspapers to the extent possible.Used to shower the correspondents of some newspapers with lavish gifts to manage them.Another activity he specializes is in getting projects from govt.agencies by greasing the palms of approving authorities and then eating most of the mony through frivolous vouchures and expenditure heads.Can do anything for money,only the offer has to be good and lucrative enough.

(3)Dr.J.L.Rana : Those who keep talking about most of the senior people being good and most juniors being bad,need to have a good look at this very senior person and few others in the same league to understand that there are black sheeps everywhere.Easily the seniormost computer science professor in M.P. and amongst the rarest of rare people in the state to have a PHD in Computer Science but a person whose corruption knows no bounds.Was the Director of M.P.STEP,a body of MANIT and ate millions of rupees in unison with the STEP Manager Raghuwanshi.So many enquiries later,the Central Vigilance Commission has come to a definite conclusion that this man is the monarch of corruption.The C.V.C. people have been pressing the college admin for the last many years for a very strict punitive action against him but the admin has been at its best in protecting him.First,a former director Prof.S.C.Soni tried his best to save him and even now there has been no action against him.The reason is that this man is a close associate of sanjeev saxena and is currently on lien from MANIT to render his services to saxena's Radharaman Institute.He sees this as the best escape route and the most adequate option to protect his skin.He has no choice either.The moment he says 'no' to saxena,the C.V.C. diktats will be implemented verbatim.Has a huge house on a sprawling piece of land on kolar road.The land itself is worh millions and even a blind person can make it out that no professor in india,forget about a professor at MANIT, can afford it.But he is not an ordinary professor by any standards as you must have understood by now.

(4)Dr.C.M.Agrawal:a Professor in the Deptt.of Mechanical Engg.Currently on lien to Radharaman Instt.Was an expert in three activities all through his life:- taking engineering drawing tuitions at home/outside,leaking examination papers to students and acting as an insurance/investment agent for all & sundry.His clentele includes almost everybody from MANIT,right from a class-IV employee to the people sitting virtually at the top of the structure.

(5)Dr.H.K.Khaira : Another C.M.Agrawal of MANIT.Was an insurance agent for many years,the business was run in the name of his wife.Never got any administrative responsibility in the past because everybody knew about his administrative ability or,more correctly,the lack of it!!!.His transition from an "Insurance Agent" to 'Sanjeev Saxena's Agent" was quite natural.Is now proudly sitting as the Dean(TEQIP) and is hand-in-glove with saxena & his man in misappropriation of huge funds coming from MHRD.A "yes man " of the admin,the man is spineless and docile,just the right candidate for saxena and his men.Did collude with sanjeev saxena in the recruitment process of 2005 in the capacity of HOD,Deptt.of Mechanical Engg,accepted everything and in return,got his nephew Amit Sohane selected as a lecturer in the same department.Incidentally,Amit Sohane did his graduation from a private engg. college and with such a great exposure,he is now teaching the students of an NIT,thanks to Dr.H.K.Khaira and the nepotism so typical of this institute.

(6)Prof.B.S.Bhatia : He did everything in life other than his primary duty that was teaching.His room was always overflowing with faculty interested in sleaze,malicious gossip,obscene jokes,dirty grapevines and character assassination.Used to incite people with his provocative suggestions.Could not do his PHD which is only to be expected as he had neither the time,nor the will for any serious academic activity.Was promoted as a Professor two years ago against all norms as nobody can become a professor in the absence of a PHD degree.To return this favour,was made the HOD so as to clear some purchase files.He did that and left the headship after few months or was removed because he had outlived his utility.The most laughable part is that his promotion case was put before the committe citing the fact that he may not be having a PHD but is very knowledgeable otherwise,having written a book;sadly the book had nothing to do with thermal engineering (naturally!)but was a compilation of shero-shayri converted into a book by another connoisseur alok mittal.This can only happen at MANIT that a person becomes a professor on the basis of a shero-shayri book.Great going for this nationally renowned institute!

(7)Prof.M.K.Jain : A fulltime faculty at MANIT but only on paper.In reality a 'visiting faculty".The owner of Mahavir Automobiles.For years,he used to sell-off soaps,detergents,paan masala and similar items to campus people.Obviously,he had no time for teaching or for the college as all these business activities were very time-consuming.Was promoted as a Professor alongwith Prof.B.S.Bhatia because they had the same thing in common namely lack of a PHD degree.Another shining example of how unethical some of our senior faculty have been and these are,unfortunately,the trend-setting examples for the young faculty.If the young faculty take an inspiration-leaf out of these people's books,can they really be faulted?

(8)Prof.M.K.Gupta : Another spineless buffoon.The s+a nexus identified his true potential and gave him a number of administrative responsibilities in the last few years.His elevation to the professor's level was done in return and this elevation was totally illegal & cannt stand any judicial scrutiny if challenged in a court.An advance-taking expert who has mastered the art of eating most money released by the instt through such advances in his name.Has been responsible for the miseries of a serious,sincere and committed faculty of the institute Dr.N.D.Mittal who tried to commit suicide twice in the last 7-8 months because of M.K.Gupta's misdemeanors.This man derives his authority from ashutosh sharma who is hellbent on ruining Dr.N.D.Mittal,entirely due to personal reasons and a very apparent revengeful tendency.If Dr.N.D.Mittal commits suicide in future or makes another attempt,it will be well and truly due to the machinations of this man.

(9)Prof.D.K.Trivedi:Another beneficiary.His wife was promoted as a professor even though that sacrosanct word PHD was missing from her resume.Retired in 2006,he promptly joined Radharaman Instt.to payback the undue favour,his wife is still serving as a faculty at MANIT.

(10)Prof.S.C.Soni:A very-very corrupt and opportunistic man.Became the Incharge Director after virtually throwing the then Incharge Director Dr.K.S.Sayann from his chamber with the help of some musclemen and cheap goondas hired from old bhopal with the help of one of his colleagues.Have been a close associate of sanjeev saxena because of the simple fact that he never had any character to speak of.Happily agreed to become an external expert in the recruitment process of 2005.Incidentally,he is always highly interested in becoming an expert in any recruitment process and the reasons are plain to understand.He has been invited as an expert in so many recruitment processes regularly and even now,he is more than willing to become a part of any such activity but the offer in terms of money and gifts has to be good.Got his relative V.K.Soni selected as a lecturer in 2003 and Bhawna Soni as a lecturer in 2005 when the recruitment process took place at MANIT.

(11)Dr.H.B.Khurasia : Another shining example of dishonesty,corruption and lack of morals.Got his daughter selected as a lecturer in the deptt.of architecture which has always been the breeding ground for a number of worthless but well-connected people.Got his son-in law selected in the Deptt.of Civil Engg. and later on saw to it that both became Asstt.Professors.To top it all,he bargained with saxena and got his own Type-III house allotted to his son-in-law and daughter against all standard norms ! Another shrewd opportunist and shameless manipulator who has always worked for guys like sanjeev saxena for his own selfish-interests.Ironically,his daughter Mrs.Anupama Sharma now heads the "Value Education Cell" of the institute.

(12)Dr.K.S.Syann: A morally bankrupt person,a rubber stamp,a dummy,a spineless person or all rolled in one;this man holds the world-record of becoming the Director af an academic instt.(MANIT) without having taken a single classroom session in his entire career spanning over 35 years!Always had the backing of a former director Prof.P.Krishnamachar who had the knack of identifying worthless and/or corrupt people like this man,D.N.Krishnamoorthy,V.K.Gehlot,etc. and then promoting them against all norms.Was the Incharge Director in 2005 when the recruitment process was conducted in a haste as the saxena group found him the most convenient person for all such manipulations that were about to take place.Wasn't such an idiot as he projected.Was smart enough to extract his price and inject two of his candiates in the Department of Civil Engg.(Ms.Suneet kaur and Ms.Harsangeet kaur,both relatives,in fact two sisters)as the price for putting his signature on all relevant recruitment documents.Now enjoying the cool comforts of Delhi as the Director of a private engg instt managed by the Gurudwara Prabandhan Committee of Delhi.

(13)Prof.Arvind Mittal:Another agent of SS.Played an active role in the recruitment process of 2005 and anybody can understand the meaning of an active role in the context of what went through in 2005.Got one of his relatives selected in the bargain.Has specialization in taking so many advances from the instt.and eating most of the money like M.K.Gupta.

(14)Prof.V.K.Gehlot:A pure buffoon and sychophant.Was made Prof.Incharge Construction in the past and did the best possible to support Sanjeev Saxena.Unfortunately,even his best wasn't enough for an always-so-demanding sanjeev saxena,so he was removed from this position.Is a very hollow person literally and his lack of substance & ability is fully exploited by clever manipulators like Saxena.This parasite was supported whole-hog by a former director Prof.P.Krishnamachar for reasons best known to everybody.

(15)Dr.Sushil Shrivastava : Another example of what lack of spine and inclination towards baser tendencies can do.A close sanjeev saxena associate.For years,he has enjoyed the image of being a very soft B.Tech.and M.Tech.thesis guide and openly promoted plagiarism.Hardly ever has the admin even warned him on this,though this has been known to one and all.Those who keep raking up an alleged,unsubstantiated molestation charge against a retired faculty of MANIT will do well to explain why similar misdemeanors of Dr.Sushil Shrivastava were always swept by the admin under carpet ? We have concrete information of three such incidents in which Dr.Shrivastava was involved and two of them have been quite recent.We are not mentioning the names as it's neither in good taste,nor proper!

(16)Dr.A.K.Shandilya : A close pal of sanjeev saxena.Had served as the Director of a private engg college in Gondia(Maharashtra) and was sacked for proven misappropriation of funds.If the grapevine doing rounds in the technical arena of bhopal is correct then this man is all set to become the Director of UIT,RGPV because having established complete control over MANIT,the saxena nexus is working overtimne to install their own man in RGPV also.They tried this even at the time of the appointment of the Vice Chancellor RGPV when they were ready to do "anything" for their very own candidate Prof.Ashutosh Sharma but could not succeed because the profile of Prof.Ashutosh Sharma is significantly inferior in comparison to Dr.P.B.Sharma who was handed over the gauntlet finally.Had that happened,the Sanjeev Saxena-Ashutosh Sharma nexus would have been controlling the entire technical education spectrum of M.P.Prof.Shandilya was the director of M.P.STEP also and tried to make money in the shortest possible span.

(17)Prof.L.D.Balaney:Corruption and dishonesty personified,this man will be right there on top of the corruption edifice along with Dr.J.L.Rana and Dr.R.L.Gupta.Incidentally,all three are serving at saxena's college Radharaman Instt.of Technology after their superannuation.He was also a hostel warden in the past and this was when his campus house(alongwith alok Mittal's house)was stone-pelted by a rampaging mob of hostel inmates as they had concrete proof of his mony-eating and mass scale corruption.

(18)K.K.Dhote:He is another Sanjeev Saxena man.Was made I/c Registrar Establishment to make things smooth for saxena.Is now Prof.Incharge (Legal Matters),another important position to serve the interests of sanjeev saxena-ashutosh sharma nexus.

(19)H.L.Tiwari:A clever clown who somehow managed to join as a lecturer in the deptt.of civil engg.in 2005.Was given 5 increments(the maximum possible under the rules otherwise he would have demanded & managed 10 - 15 increments!)for reasons best-known to the selection committee and sanjeev saxena nexus.Managed for his wife to be appointed as a contract faculty in the chemistry department soon afterwards.The famous spiritual personality and adhyatmik guru of Shri Arjun Singh Ji,the revered Mauni Baba says "do not speak much,your actions will speak for you",sadly this person neither understands nor follows his practical advice!The guy has nothing to do with intelligence but everything to do with cleverness and manipulation,truly the Lalu Yadav of MANIT!!!

(20)Ms.Anupama Sharma : An aruna saxena pal.To be fair to her,she has been like a real pontoon.Became close to aruna saxena when she wanted her appointment as a lecturer.Became close to aruna saxena again when she wanted to become an Asstt.Professor in 2005.Trust if an advt for a professor's position is floated today,she will go gaga over aruna saxena again.Her off and on relationship with aruna saxena depends on expediency more than anything else.Well,she heads the Value Education Cell at the institute which is a true irony!

(21)Ms.Seemi Ahmed : Another aruna saxena pal.Her husband siraj ahmed is an assistant professor in the mecahnical engineering department.Had to pay 3 lacs in 2003 to join as an OBC candidate.

(22)Siraj Ahmed : This silent operator is another sanjeev saxena man.He takes projects and eats most of the money that pours in,in the name of purchasing some machines or developing a utopian idea called weather station which never ever took off.Passes money to sanjeev saxena in the process.Got his wife selected in 2003 after paying 3 lacs.Has a dubious reputation in examination related issues and thats why he is handling the examination work as an Asstt.COE.

(23)Pathak,the Postman:Do not underestimate this crook and his destructive potential.For years,this man has been working for sanjeev saxena.He was constantly destroying the tender proposals submitted by interested parties against any NIT or used to hold them till the time the last date was over.An important cog in the wheel for sanjeev saxena's construction business.

(24)Rao : Sanjeev saxena's man who can be seen all the time in the campus.Apparently his job is to supervise the construction projects taken by saxena but more significantly,he removes the bottlenecks by his shameless goondagardi.

We wish to point-out again that this group includes not only recently joined cronies but also a number of selfserving,corrupt and unethical senior people who have never contributed to the institute.

I am speechless and stunned !!! The people whom we held in high esteem as our gurus are seemingly nothing better than a common thieves and thugs in the garb of Professors ..No wonder why when we join MNC's and interact with even good pvt. college students , we come to know whatare the real standards of MANIT ? The alumni are in good positions just 'coz they are the cream of the students selected ..hardly any good patents or Research has taken place in our so-called National level institute and we dream of being an IIT !!! It's time for all of us to intropect ..


And who is this bloody Ashutosh Sharma !!!!!!It's not difficult to make out how all this is thriving with that budhao Arjun Singh as the MHRD Minister . The college had plummetted in early 90's as the den of goondaism and hostel wars when he was the chief minister and much in the prime of his political careers ..And the first thing he did in 2004 after taking over was summarily removal of all REC Directors on the promise of "DETOXIFICATION " and "DESAFFRONIZATION" and appoint his cronnies ..When will God be generous enough and this bloddy Arjun Singh dies ..only then we will be able to save our institute and prevent it to beccome a Gondia college ....

I went through your post, and I think there are some truth but there are also things which I believe are not true.

I was wondering who could this be until I read...
"alleged,unsubstantiated molestation charge against a retired faculty of MANIT".

You just had to write that... don't you.
It now seems to me that ppl might start using this medium to try and settle some personal scores as well.

I am also MACT alimni and am concerned about my college. I request you to keep your personal affairs out of this.

Nikesh Rathi said...

Actually, I found few of the things shocking, as I have directly or indirectly interacted with few of these or heard about them during my stay there (Electro, 2001-05)... but in retrospect it seems quite possible kind of, but still some of things seem a bit exaggerated, although can't vouch for this thing.

Probably, this piece was a reminder that 4-5 years ago also MANIT was nothing great, it is just that Ashutosh Sharma, Baghel and co. make that time appear good ...

bachao said...

now please let us know if any faculty member is left or not. What about the three stars of our college i.e ganga, gita and gayatri ji . i request to kindly put some light on these people also.

saif said...

I always knew the likes of Prof SC Soni and MK Jain are a real bunch of jokers who are really incorrigible and corrupt. At that time itself Soni was passing exam papers to some guys with administrative contacts, don't want to name names but everyone knew it. Sadly, the institute never offered any fond memories except roudiness, dirty politics, heavy alocoholism and these teacher Mafia nexus( gunda culture)was very much behind it.

Subbarao said...

Brake Dude,no point in getting disturbed!you want to know the name of that faculty,refer to a message titled 'the other side of the story' and there you are with his name figuring there.If you still want,I can do this for you.He was Prof.B.R.Nayak,does this make you happy now?You better counter these people with solid arguments,facts and documents;rather than getting hurt.These individuals are not important but the issues are.Why don't you prove with facts that this sanjeev saxena chap is a holy angel and ashutosh sharma is atleast as knowledgeble as Dr.Kalam ? People are listening to them,they will listen to you also.

Cypher said...

It is very sad to see all this mud slinging, but i guess it is the need of the hour. Most of the persons/incidents mentioned are open secrets, yet some come out as skeletons in the closet.
Keeping quiet is as good as abetting with the wrong doers.
Being out of college for a while now i realize that things were never hale and hearty, i understand the dynamics of deep rooted corruption in the institute better now.

Hi,
Apropos of this current mail from faculty,one can not agree more with the comments and observations made.A number of these senior people have been worthless and it is because of their greed and blind ambition that sanjeev saxena and his cronies have been able to capture this institute and ruin it systematically.One correction though,this faculty Hariya Lal Tiwari in Civil Engineering is not only the Lalu Yadav of MANIT but the Amar Singh also.He is another strong candidate for a possible transfer into an ITI with sarvesh rajput.They should be transfered soon else they will convert this NIT into an ITI which was the dream of Honourable Shiv Kumar Jhalani Ji,former Chairman,Board of Governors.Recall that Jhalani Ji was constantly refering to his dream of converting this instt. into an ITI one day when he delivered his first speech as the Chairman,BOG,in front of the entire manit staff.With such faculty around,it sure won't take long for his dream to come true.

Guys,

Here are some interesting facts about Honourable Ashtosh Sharma Ji.These facts are truly enlightening and will also make it clear to you that this guy is highly ambitious but with no genuine talent to back it.Naturally,such a guy is more likely to succumb to temptations for power and money.Go through the facts and decide for yourself:

(1)He did not make it to any engineering institution(did not even make it to architecture,the least preferred option in those days!)when he took the Pre Engineering Test many years ago.This was inspite of a highly controversial freedom fighter cerificate which he had got issued in the name of his maternal grand father by pure deceit.

(2)He took the same test again again on the basis of the same certficate.This time to accommodate him,the mact people colluded with the Professional Examination Board people and came up with a very strange rule that the weightage of PET marks would be 50% and rest 50% would be on the basis of an interview conducted by a committee comprising mact faculty.He gor bare minimum marks,qualified for the interview,got exceptional marks in the interview which was very natural and made it to architecture after all these manipulations.This speaks volumes about his talent.

(3)He realized very early that he cannt rise in life on his talent,so "Jugaad" was the only wayout.Got himself selected as a lecturer in the Deptt.of Architecture at MANIT and even this appointment was made possible by his father Prof.S.S.Sharma,serving here as a Professor in the Deptt.of Chemistry.This appointment was also illegal as he got weightage for a full-time work experience which coincided with a full-time postgraduation course.Obviously nobody can simultaneously do a full-time academic course and a full-time job.

(4)After this,he started his voyage to ascendency.The institute BOG in those days used to be headed by Minister,Manpower Planning,Govt.of M.P.The Hon.Minister Mr.Narendra Nahta was settingup his own engineering institute at Mandsaur.This guy volunteered to take care of its construction and getting it built within the desired timeframe.Nahta agreed,got a six months leave sanctioned for him and sent him to Mandsaur.He camped there for six months and finished the project.On his return back,a happy Nahta wanted to do something for this clever guy.The man indicated that he wanted to become an Asstt.Professor immediately.Since there is a minimum time-period which one is required to spend as a lecturer(seven years)and this is essential as per standard AICTE norms,Nahta was little perplexed.Mr.Sharma hit upon a brilliant idea.He identified some notorious goons amongst students,extended them undue favours and later,with their help,arranged a massive strike of students.The students had a one point agenda that their respected Ashutosh Sharma Ji should be elevated to the level of Asstt.Professor.Nahta instantly agreed and Ashutosh Sharma went on to become an Asst.Professor after only 2-2.5 years as lecturer and this without any participation in a direct selection process!The seeds of manipulation were well and truly born.

(5)He went on to become a Professor in a similar fashion managing a number of people,circumventing all standard norms and superseding most people.Was quite busy manipulating things and had neither the time,nor the talent to do a serious and genuine Ph.D.So a Ph.D. in Social Sciences was managed/bought and the man became a professor on the basis of this degree and his manipulation skills.He was actively supported by Prof.S.C.Soni and Prof.Shrihari Agrawal in this holy endeavour.To top it,he even superseded people who had taught him at various stages.His modus-operandi was simple.He would manage Chairman BOG and all members of the committee.Gradually he had starting becoming an expert in all these maneuverings and manipulations.

(6)He went on to become a Dean like this,OSD to Chairman BOG and even Incharge Director following the same route.

(7)The next ambition was naturally to become the Vice Chancellor RGPV for which he tried his level best with the help of his long-term ally Sanjeev Saxena but failed because not everything can be achieved by "Jugaad".His profile does not stand any fair scrutiny on academic parameters and Dr.P.B.Sharma is far more competent than him,so the opportunity went amiss.

So guys,the moral of the story is..a blind ambition without the talent to back it is likely to give birth to somebody like Ashtosh Sharma,truly the Kamlakar Singh of MANIT!Let's see how his career-profile spirals upward in future and who are the close-associates to be backstabbed by him on the altar of his ambition.In short,he just cannt be trusted by anybody but in this sanjeev saxena setup,most people are like this only and they are not bound together by any genuine love or respect for each other.The only bond that binds them is that of money,power,corruption and undue privileges;the moment there is an unfair distribution of resources amongst them or the moment the ambition of ashutosh sharma surfaces again,there will be visible cracks in this unholy alliance.Amen!!!!!

(25)Dr.Tokhi(Father,Professor in Civil Engg.,now retd.)- Supriya(Tokhi)Vyas(Daughter,Lecturer,Deptt.of Architecture,appointed in that golden recruitment year 2005)

(26)Dr.K.N.Shrivastava(Father,Former Director and HOD,Mathematics)-Dr.Namita Shrivastava(Daughter,a second divisioner in M.Sc.,Asstt.Professor,Deptt.of Mathematics)

(27)Dr.C.M.Agrawal(Professor,Deptt.of Mechanical Engg.,currently on lien to Radharaman Instt.)-Bholanath Roy(?,appointed in 2005)

Nobody can dispute the fact that there should not be any discrimination against a professor's ward if he is competent and interested in teaching but such a huge number of fathers,sons,daughters,fathers-in-law,sons-in-law,husbands,wives,nephews and other relatives definitely forces one to think.Were these people always the best of the lot when they applied for a teaching position in the institute ? Your guess is as good as mine :-)

Hi Guys,

I forgot to mention few more cases.There are so many of them,so it's quite natural to miss-out few inspite of best efforts.The list may not be complete even now but a regular update is definitely possible.

Here they are:

(1)Prof.V.N.Mittal(Father,Deptt.of Electrical Engg.)-Arvind Mittal(Son,Deptt.of Electrical Engg.)

(2)Rakesh Kumar(Brother,Lecturer,Deptt.of Civil Engg.)-Jagesh Kumar(Brother,Lecturer,Deptt.of Electrical Engg,appointed in 2005,naturally!!!)

Understand that these manipulative professors work on a well-thought-over strategy:

(1)First,they will arrange for their incompetent wards to be transfered from state engineering colleges to MANIT.This is essential because not many of them make it to MANIT directly or even if they are getting MANIT directly,they will not be getting a branch of their choice because of poor marks in AIEEE.So first an admission into a state engg.college with the best possible branch,then a transfer into MANIT with the same branch.This is truly what they say..having the cake and eating it too!!!

(2)Then the real game will start.These guys will work overtime to ensure excellent internal assessment marks for their sons/daughters.

(3)This will be followed by leaking of examination papers to these privileged people at the right time(read two-three days before the exams,they need to have some preparation time also!).

(4)Finally managing the evaluators to give them more than what they deserve.This is where you can witness absolute chaos and ruckus.There are so many fights amongst these professors precisely at this point of time because their expectations are sky-high and sometimes the evaluators find it little difficult to live upto their expectations.Surely,a quantum leap from 35 to 85 is pretty difficult to manage,even if you are a very shameless evaluator.

(5)The end result..they will endup amongst the best few in their respective classes and branches.

(6)Then there will be a struggle for campus placements.Whereever there is some importance attached to the marks and institute rank,you just cannt compete with them.To top it all,they will be having certain things on their resume you just cannt imagine.Some of them will have international conference papers or even journal papers against their names(as coauthors ofcourse,the main authors will be their fathers!).With so many feathers in their caps,you bet most of them will make it to decent companies atleast.

Yet,some of them are leftout because all company people are not idiots.Some of these campus sons/daughters are exposed the moment they are scratched a bit and the reality beneath the surface is exposed.So they do not make the cut.

What happens to these guys then ? No problems,they will then be absorbed as Lecturers in this institute,their rightful place for which they have proven competence(or incompetence if you prefer it that way).

So guys,next time whenever a son/daughter of the campus-soil talks about his passion for teaching or talks about a gold medal won by him at one point or the other,just give him/her a know-it-all smile as now you know how such things are managed and how these people are more than equals :-(

Reading all this makes me sick. I am an ex mactian and knew Ashutosh Sharma and his brother when we were all syudents in the 80s. I was taught by their father. MACT (err manit) used to be a tad decent place a few years ago. I am soooo glad I am not a student there anymore.
I now live in North America but feel the pain of all those who attend the school and have to live with this nonsense. As long as India is ruled by thugs like arjun singh, you will always have losers running the show in places like manit. Every time I think of coming back to India, I come across news like this and it reminds me why I am still so far from my beloved motherland; even if I long for her, I know I am contributing more by sending a ton of money back home than staying in India and simply witnessing this crap. Good luck you guys, take care

MR.
Yes two kaurs got selected when Dr. Syan was the director. But, i want to make it clear it was the first time in the interview i saw him. I feel i am fit for the post that is why i got selected and for the post i have sacrifised my native place and got the promotion just because of my hard work. Yes, ofcourse i could dare to settle in the city as my relatives i.e. my Mamaji and my cousine (Ms. Suneet kaur) are there to look after me. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to settle in such a distant place. So, i humbly request you to have the right thinking so as to differentiate between right and wrong.

Hello,

This is in response to Ms.Harsangeet Kaur's message.

She might be correct in pointing out that she saw Dr.Kuldeep Singh Syan the first time in interview as in today's world,modern communication means like landlines,cell phones,EMails,etc.,are more than sufficient and one does not require to meet people face-to-face.

She has also correctly pointed out that she has been selected on merit as she was "fit" for the post.If "physical fitness" is the criterion for such a position then she is not only fit but supremely fit.Regarding mental fitness,well,one would never know and who are others to put a question-mark on the selection committe's wisdom.

Besides,she has made a "gr8 sacrifice" of leaving her native place Patiala where she was serving as a Lecturer at that gr8 private engineering institution Thapar.Rather than acknowledging her "supreme sacrifice",people are pointing fingers at her selection which is not fair.The institute has also been less than fair in acknowledging her sacrifice and rewarding her.The minimum that the institute could have done was to offer her the position of a PROFESSOR and even this might have been rather inadequate considering the "magnitude of her gr8 & selfless sacrifice".How many times we come across such people who make such huge sacrifices in the interest of others ? Her selection as a PROFESSOR would have been justified as she did not have a PHD and that way she was as eligible as Prof.B.S.Bhatia and Prof.M.K.Jain.

It will be interesting to note that her cousin Ms.Suneet Kaur was selected as a Lecturer at MANIT(the then MACT)way back in 1994,under controversial circumstances,when her father was the Secretary of the Board of Governors(BOG) for the institute and this time she has been selected as Asstt.Professor in 2005 when Dr.Kuldeep Singh Sayan was the Director of the institute.A strange coincidence indeed,underlining the fact that her real caliber surfaces only when there is a connection playing part in the selection process ! She prefered not to join in 1994 as immediately after her selection,there was a court case against the selection procedure and the wisdom of the selection committee was challenged on the ground that her specialization was not one of the specializations listed under the desired specializations category.

In the light of this,it is quite apparent that these faculty members have been selected on merit on the basis of a very fair,just and transparent process.It's blasphemous to challenge their selection on any ground.May they be promoted as PROFESSORS very soon as they are truly deserving candidates and amongst the rare ones to be competent and yet allowed to join in 2005 !

Hi Guys,

Here are few more campus connections serving in this National Institute of Technology.The nepotism wave is running truly fast and thick.Go through the information given below and decide for yourselves:

(1)Mr.Rajat Soni(Husband,Lecturer,Deptt.of Architecture,easily the most corrupt and unethical department in the institute)- Mrs.Archana Soni(Wife,Deptt.of Electrical Engg.)

(2)Prof.P.N.Mishra(Brother,Workshop Superintendent)- Dr.D.C.Mishra(Brother,Institute Doctor)

(3)(Late)Prof.D.S.Gupta(Father,Deptt.of Mathematics)-Ms.Lalita Gupta(Daughter,Lecturer,Deptt.of Electronics)

Add to this the previous two lists and you will realize the magnitude of nepotism in this institute.

Interestingly,the wives of a number of many faculty members are serving as contract faculty and are sure to be absorbed as permanent faculty members whenever the first opportunity comes.Many of these faculty members have joined the institute in 2005 and it's not difficult to understand that to recover their inductance money,they have to resort to this.Ofcourse,they are being actively supported by Sanjeev Saxena and Ashutosh Sharma in this holy endeavour.

Go through the list below:

(1)Mrs.Alok Mittal:Has been serving as a contract faculty in the Deptt.of Chemistry for quite some time now.Was sure to become a permanent faculty in 2005 when her own husband was the Head of the Department.Alas,a congress leader very close to Mahamahim Arjun Singh Ji wanted his sister to be selected for the same post(there was only one post),the result..no candidate was found suitable.So Dr.Alok Mittal saw to it that if her wife did not get the job,no one else did.Surely not all mittals are alike.If you compare Dr.Alok Mittal with Dr.N.D.Mittal,the difference is far too glaring to be ignored.

(2)Mrs.Vilas Warudkar

Joinees of 2005:

(3)Mrs.Manish Pandey

(4)Mrs.Pushyamitra Mishra(Deptt.of Management)

(5)Mrs.H.L.Tiwari(Deptt.of Chemistry)

There are many more cases of a similar nature.

Guys,pause for a moment and seriously think,can this institute ever become an IIT on the strength of this family tree ? With so many fathers,daughters,husbands,wives,
brothers-in-law,sisters-in-law,sons-in-law and so on,it can only become a nice soap opera titled "HUM LOG",nothing more.

I'm afinal year student ,and i'm shocked to know that some of the ppl we lookup as being the "good" of the lot actually have such dubious distinctions, and are along with the "bad and the ugly"education mafia!!
I would like to amke an appeal to the alumni and those who care for this college ,to pull all the strings they have in their hands otherwise as always-- crores and crores of World Bank funds will vanish into thin air .............. when they were meant for US!!!

TA-USA said...

I do not assert or refute any of the claims. But I would certainly talk about two of the claims as they are about my classmates from 1990.

Firstly Bandhopadyay. He was very intelligent. For a proof, just go and look at the merit list from 1985 - 1990. You will not have to spend much time. You will always find in top one or two every year, year after year. If you do not believe that, then look into merit list of IES exam for 1990. There also you will not have to go far.

Another is Meenu. She was also in top in her class of Computer Science. You can also go and see the hall of fame plaques at enterance of college (if they arfe still there). She was university topper. Also see here degree from IITK kanpur comp sc.

Now, how many of the other non-faculty related teachers you have with such qualifications.

You should be luck and proud that they are teaching you instead of sledging mus on each and every one.

There may be irregularities, I am not supporting or refuting those charges, but you should not generalize it.


I will just say, stop this and make most of your time and concentrate in studies.
