Here they are!!!

It's that time of the year when major companies like IBM, Sun, Microsoft, GOOGLE etc. announce student contests. With the craze for the certificates offered by these IT majors students have started to form teams for the contests. The first in the line is 'The Great Mind Challenge' by IBM. With blue coloured posters and a high traffic site, TGMC is a hit this year with more number of participants and better scenarios. It focusses on many web technologies like XML, Ajax, DB2 etc. Many discussions and special seminars are arranged everywhere in the campus for this. Also many of the two million clubs in the college proclaim to teach the students some of the technologies which are to be used in TGMC this year. Interstingly many second years are also trying to compete for the gold.  The next up is 'Code for Freedom' from Sun Microsystems. It started on the I-Day and runs on till April 2009. Like TGMC, many Sastrites have started forming teams for Code for Freedom also. Only time can tell how many winners come out from our university. All the best for every participant!!!
