IITK in 2030!

IITK in 2030...

I was reading up someone's(link) thoughts on what IITK might be in 2030, here's my version of it.

@PAN - IIT meeting (more resembling a congress rally)


Student: Hey, I am from IITK, where are you from?
Yet Another Student: I am from IIT Ram Nagar, which K is this ? Karai, Karimnagar ....?

Student(Embarrassed):
Oh, I am from Kanpur, one of the original ones, you know.
Yet Another Student: whatever, btw did you know my school is being promoted to IIT status next year. we have
3 profs, which is 3 times more than the minimum number of profs you need to start an IIT.

Student(In tears now)
okay :( btw, do you know when are they serving food? (why else come to a rally?)



JEE : Excerpt from "The Hindu Muslim Sikh ... (wraps for three lines)" newspaper.
The JEE exams are now reduced their syllabus to basic school math,physics and chemistry so that students from coaching institutes have no "unfair" advantage over students in the any other school. For those who did not attend(or were expelled/failed) 4.75% of the seats are reserved, bringing the total reserved tally to 99.9%. The community which does not fall in any reserved category however have filed a petition that 10 % of the seats should be reserved for them. The board of directors of IIT have agreed to do so, though they need to resolved how to increase the total reserved quota to more than 100%(a minor technical detail though).

@IITK:
Ragging: Juniors - Plz Plz Rag us..we want to know what its like?
Seniors - We don't know either :(
The senate meets to consider introducing RAG 101 to teach about ragging as an HSS course.

Hostels:
Hall 73, is now under construction, Hall 23, 34, 66 are cribbing as they still have government messes and food menu is controlled by religious reservations.

Heath Center: Unfortunately, its still the same

Departments: Who cares about them anyway? Its all the same..you do an MBA(ya, 30 years is what it takes to realize the truth)

Class Rooms:
Tutorials are in L7. Kalyanpur is engulfed into IIT K empire. The expansion of many iits however has been stopped as they have run into the boundaries of other nearby IITs.
