Input from one of the student..

Hello sir ..

I am not too sure abt things being blown out of proportion .. yea it does happen here and there in that article too .. but i guess that article in Dainik Bhaskar is just the tip of the iceberg .. There are a lot more things happening in the college i suppose .. though i have no idea how the college was in the past,making out from what my seniors say, i can make out that inspite of director pandey sir 's efforts, the college is on a downward spiral ..

Quoting a humanities department faculty who came to my class .. "In the last three or four years, the college has been on a continuous downward spiral" .. These were the exact words spoken.. putting it as told .. "speaking with the director is like a monologue .. Only he speaks .. he never takes others' views into account" .. I am not sure how much of this is really true ..

"As per report, Institute is one of the best example in Appointments of RELATIVES ( around 50 member of a family) . "
Sorry to say that this is true i suppose .. the paper has quoted with a lot of examples even .. The teaching standards have become really low .. Quality of the teachers is really really low these days .. Not really NIT standard I suppose .. (Though this could be because of the tremendous influx of contract faculty with minimal experience) ..

Recently there was a lot of controversy when Dr.Sushil Mittal sir resigned on the stage during the oathtaking ceremony from his post of Dean - Student Affairs just because no civil dept student found a place in the student council ... Things I can tell you are quite bad in our college ..

I can tell u that i agree with Dr.R.K.Patra sir (ex-faculty MANIT) that a total overhaul of the faculty is required ..
Input i.e. student - fortunately students' quality in MANIT are the best. They needs proper guidance.
Guidance only possible, if the teacher is competent.(2) The process i.e. teacher. You know better the
quality of teacher reigning in MANIT. Except politics and politics, most of the teachers are having no
market value. They want to save their skins by doing all the nuisance activities. .. As a current student,I can tell you that this is totally 100% true .. Half the contract faculty hardly know the stuff required .. Highly incompetent is the least i can tell ( though with a heavy heart) .. They lack in communication with the students ..

(3) Output i.e. placement. The students are getting placement by their own merit, and what I feel,
Institutes contribution is almost nil, except inviting some good companies. You know that NIT
students are the cream, and selected corporates prefer to visit campus.Since I was associated in placement, most of the
corporates feedback was surprising.We have the best infrastructure, but most of the faculties does not know to use and guide the students.The most important thing is is the root cause of collapse of MANIT machinery is involvement of self-interest of few so-called alumni in the administration. They know the weak points of Director, faculty and encashing the same by influencing their power.

The first part of this is true i suppose .. N i have absolutely no idea abt the later part ..

Hoping and waiting in earnest for the improvement in the state of our institution ...

Whatever is going on had been going on it past too.Only reason was that we all were too busy to take care of that,And this has made what our college is today.So we all are responsible for our Chlata hai Attitude of that time.Had we stood up at that time, this situation would not have come.

Now when MANIT is having a chance to become IIT, these thing have surfaced (pretty amazing timing).And all the IT ppl had jumped in to give their valuable(?) thoughts on the topic(lot of time ..huh )
Don't u think these all things woulf hardly make any difference on grass rrot level rather than negative publicity of our college.Which would definitely hamper the prospect og MANIT becoming an IIT.
My only suggestion is to go and act don't just be a part of mob in mud slinging.
This is result of what u have done(rather what u have not done by not standing against at that time).So we should be shameful rather than feeling proud.

Hello to all!!

I am extremely thankful to all of you who have come out in support of your alma matter.
I am a current student of this college,erstwhile MACT, today's MANIT, and take my word, it is nothing more than a dying man on ventilator.

The academics suck,the staff is either a crowd of hooligans or is too disappointed with the system to be of any help to the students.
The whole system smells of mediocrity and corruption, not to mention, the students too.
This place, as i have seen in the last three years,brings out the evil in most of the people,grooms that monster,and gives him a free ride.
The recent posts, i see,concentrate more on mud-slinging rather than concrete steps of action.
My humble request to all of ya, come up with solutions, thats' what an engineer is meant to be.
I feel, the culprits have been made public, time for action.
Only then, we will reach the crux of the problem, that is the bad nurturing of the students that come here, and their malicious misuse by these bastards called Sanjeev-Praveen saxena and the Kingpin, Dr.Sharma.

Please help us, it's hell here.
One thing i would like to add, these people are influential, powerful,intelligent, with connections,but there is a weakness in the Armour------->>> the Students.

Win the students on your side, make them believe in your being there for them, and you have won half the battle.

By the way, Dr.Sharma is PhD in a subject in social science.

Best of Luck
