Mindbend and Sparsh 2010

Monday, March 15th, 2010

Finally…Mindbend and Sparsh are over :D they are SVNIT’s tech and cult fests respectively. Together called as springfest :p

I was involved in the organizing team of Sparsh…initially as a web developer(check out : Sparsh’s website) and later as a designer.
The fests began on 9th march, with the much hyped pyromania…its passes were priced from Rs 250 to 1000 o.O. It was short…but was mesmerizing enough. My mom loved it too :)
Then the next day there was a lecture on Operating Systems by a guy from SUN(thanks to Sandy course) and MTV stunt mania. Missed them both :( had to do last minute designing work for sparsh. We headbanged our way during the evening to the tunes of our collage bands…the rock concert was awesome.

11th March, mom’s bday :), was when the actual events kicked off. My team qualified for the second round in an advertisement making event. And I EVENTFULLY got into the second round of the IBM contest…there is another story to that ;)

The next day, we had to enact an ad…which we did alright…but no luck. I gave my second round for the IBM contest. Then rushed to a mobile-app dev workshop…it was okay.

13th morning I woke up with a call from the organisers that I was in the final 5 of the IBM contest. I rushed to collage and gave a presentation on the case study I chose - ‘Effective Web Search using web2.0 and semantic web’. Guess wot?…I won the finals!!! I got an IBM tee and A LAPTOP! as the prize :D. We had celeb night that day…a band called ‘Bandish’ performed…it was fun.

PS: My laptop winning idea:p on search engines is coming soon..

And the results are…

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

Over the past three months I have given several exams(engineering entrances). I have been preparing for these exams for more that a year(two technically, one seriously).  Now that all the results I thought I’d post it here.

  • 12th Boards - I scored 90, 93, 95 respectively in phy, chem and maths. I got a 93 in Informatics Practices(computers).
  • IIT-JEE - Extended Merit list with a rank of 42000. I wasn’t well during the exams so its not a bad result.
  • VITEEE - This one was pleasantly surprising, i got an all India rank of 3800. I was eligible for 2nd round counseling and had booked my tickets, but(fortunately) aieee results came before the counselling so I cancelled my plans of going to vellore.
  • GUJCET - This is the entrance for getting into gujarat colleges. I got a merit rank of 174.
  • AIEEE - I got a state rank of 260 and all India rank of 14k. This was quite good  but I am yet to know whether it would be good enough to get me computers in SVNIT.
  • IcfaiTech ATIT - It was an easy paper. In the result they didn’t display any rank but congratulated me for being eligible for counseling. Its a pity they didn’t display the rank, not that I was interested in going to icfai but I was expecting a good rank in this.
  • MHTCET - I scored 123 in this and am too lazy to check my rank.
  • COMEDK - Scored 110 and got a merit rank of 1200 that makes me eligible for first round of counseling.
  • BITSAT - I scored 236 and I don’t think its sufficient for getting an admission into bits.

The ones in bold were my prime focus.
