Clarifications

The Orientation Programme is compulsory for all to attend.Only on production of an application with valid reason may the student be exempted from attending the same.

Also the tests mentioned in the medical form are required.And so are the vaccinations i.e. it is compulsory to have those vaccines failing which will lead you to be “Provisionally Admitted”

Feel free to shout for any clarifications…..

And well, in case you haven't received a call letter, you might want to know that you are supposed to bring a blood group certificate from an authorized hospital and 6 stamp size photographs.

That was primitive. Now about your Accommodation.

We will be staying at SBI Colony, Devashram, Keshura, Bhubaneswar. 52 apartments have been taken on lease. It is located about 7-9 kms from the Institute. Buses will ply to and fro from the Institute to the place of residence.

First years will be allotted flats starting from 0700 Hrs on the 15th of July. The flats are 3 BHDK flats. That means a lot of space. 6 students per flat (tentative). Accommodation for parents WILL NOT be provided. But I guess, they can squeeze into flats along with you!

What else?

I guess it is common knowledge that you are allowed cell phones, laptops and any other gizmo you care about. I have heard a few queries about what to bring here? Its all up to you guys/gals to decide. I would suggest you wait. There is your first break, beginning on 23rd Sep (tentative). So, you come here, stay for a couple months and when you go back home load yourself with whatever you might need and return! And no, I don't think you will be allowed furnish your bedroom with your own furniture. I got a query about that as well! You will be provided a cot, a table, a chair and a cupboard! That's all you will need I suppose. Unless, you are Queen/King of England!

Food?

You will be having working lunch and snacks.Breakfast and Dinner will be given in the hostel.Menu will be basically a mixture of North Indian and South Indian stuff. A canteen is being setup. And well, they don't serve Italian/Chinese in mess. This was a query that my senior was telling me about! LOL!

Classes?

What's the hurry people? Orientation will go on until 22nd, which is the date of second round of registration. Your classes will begin on 23rd July.

What books should I bring?

Wrong person, wrong question! Period.

Miscellaneous

RAGGING IN ANY FORM IS BANNED!

Smoking in public places is prohibited! Please note the public places part. Liquor, however is completely prohibited.

Did I miss anything? If you think so, then just shout!
