Few Days to go at VGSoM, IIT Kharagpur

Its that time of the course which everyone wishes should come fast and when it is there in front of you, you wish the time to stand still... Yup, I along with 119 gems of VGSoM, IIT Kharagpur are going to graduate from this hallowed institution. On behalf of everybody, I have taken an initiative to remember the days gone by revisiting some of the old mails that we have received and believe you me they are absolutely hilarious.


Hi Batch

A very Good Morning to all of you. When I woke up this Sunday morning , I had a thought running in my head, about how to make the last 20 odd days more memorable. As a batch, we have suffered a lot, hostel changes, single to double occupancy, Recession, Placements, Seniors (:P) and now Juniors (:P), but we have always come out stronger. I believe, this is something that unconsciously we have achieved, a certain degree of mental strength which shall hold us in good stead in the future.

Before we get all sentimental and have tears in our eyes (again, that's wishful I guess :P), I thought why not have some good hearty laughs over some of the incidents that have happened in our VGSoM life.

Today onwards, I shall send in an old email everyday, which shall evoke laughter and make you wish that, the time could stop here and allow you to bask again in those glorious days gone by. The intention is not to deride anybody, but merely to revisit some of the funny moments that have happened over the course of two years.

So here comes the first one...Enjoy it till you can...!!!! ...


Background: The Academic Committee has come up with a novel way of storing the ppts and making it accessible for us..For many of us, it was a relief from downloading the individual ppts. We should thank AcadComm, but is it them who should get all the praise.... My mischeivious mind doesnt think so... I guess you should read further....!!!

Dear Batch

There have been so many files and docs circulated on mails so frequently, making it difficult to keep track of them. Now that the mid-sems are around, we understand that a lot of you will start looking for various material. If you have missed downloading any doc in the past, WORRY YOU NOT....!!!

Acadcom has set up for you, a TREASURE TROVE for academic material: it has in it all the material circulated in the past and will be the place where we shall upload all the circulation material in future. Here is how you get to the treasure trove:

Step 1: go to START ---> RUN ---> \\10.43.34.112

Step 2: User name : guest

Password: guest

Step 3: navigate to the folder

---> MBA

---> MBA batch 07-09

Now this folder has subject wise sub-folders, when you dig deeper the subject folders are further divided section-wise for those subjects that have different profs handling them for the two classes. Also you will see two other folders named "general" and "usefull e-books": the general folder will hold all the general files, docs, info (usually all the communication from the CRs) and the "useful e-books" as the name suggests will have e-books that could be of use to you, for example we have uploaded an "Exel bible" which has everythin from opening microsoft exel to using the most complicated function in exel. Also please do not try to tamper with any of the folders, you have only read access hence you will be able to download the material but, should you want to add or change anything, you are requested to get in touch with the concerned class manager.

We are sure you will find it very usefull and hopefully it puts an end to "running around" for files and docs and also gives the class managers some respite. We urge you to try opening the folder immediately and get back to us should you face any difficulty in doing so.

Thanks and Regards
