It's mid-July time already and within a fortnight new batch of freshies will join on campus , albeit only 3 years have passed since we joined here , many things are no more same . This short post is random attempt to recollect those good old days.
Once upon a time (as in 3 years ago :P ) ......
1. There were only 7 IIT's in India ( I think even freshies won't be able to state exact number and locations today)
2. There was no 2nd round in JEE counselling / sliding within institute after joining.
3. There was no online counselling for JEE/AIEEE
4. Theory classes used to get over by 2/3 pm ( no afternoon theory classes /no 9th hour classes)
5. There was no OBC reservation quota .. ( it will be 27% for this batch )
6. Mr. Arjun Singh was HRD minister.
7. We used to have internet 20 hours a day in hostels even on weekdays.
8. Plain Dosa was `10 in tiffs.
9. Prof Idichandy was Dean Student.
10. Academic fees were almost 60% of the current fees.
