The counseling schedule for AIEEE 2008 which was due to come out today has been postponed.The counseling details will be revealed soon.
While you wait for the central counseling board's decision,you can check your eligibility for Central Counseling.
On June 13th,a new admission criteria was released for admission to NITs.A 50% state quota will be implemented for the state in which the NIT is located.Rest of the seats will be filled according to All India Rank.
Recently I've been receiving loads of queries about AIEEE ranks and BITSAT scores.It will take me hours to reply to all these queries if I visit each and every post and reply to the comments,all thanks to Blogger's commenting system.
If you wish to check your chances of getting admission to any of the NITs or IIITs etc.,you can check last year's opening rank and closing ranks by clicking here.The ranks will be more or less similar this year except for the fact that a few extra IIT seats can give people with ranks in the higher range some hope.
Here's a solution to your BITSAT queries.Last year's BITSAT cutoffs(I got these from Ankur's post)
BITS Pilani,Pilani Campus
BITS Pilani,Goa Campus
For Hyderabad Campus,don't expect the cutoffs to be low.The cutoffs for Pilani and Goa will definitely go up as this is the general trend.
At the end of my last post,I had mentioned about my plans to do a fresh install of Kubuntu.I did so and here's what I think.
A year ago,when I read this post on Ankur's blog,I thought Kubuntu can't be that BAD.When I tried Kubuntu 8.04,it was confirmed-"Kubuntu Sucks".
I installed Kubuntu 8.04 from the live CD and the setup was smooth as ever and took about 20 minutes as usual.I booted up Kubuntu to hear a very simple default KDE startup tone as opposed to the cool Ubuntu Afrikaans tone.The wallpaper was the default KDE wallpaper.I quickly configured my network as I had dhcp enabled on my modem.I don't like using Konqueror as a web browser and thus decided to download Firefox.Here's where the problem started.The package manager refused to start.
Its always a nice idea to apt-get stuff,so I did that for firefox.
IP:To install a package named xxxx,open the Terminal/Console and type-
sudo apt-get install xxxx
Next up were the 'Restricted Packages' and the codecs.I restarted my computer hoping that the package manager might open but it failed to open again.
Kubuntu is just KDE in its native state and nothing else.It has no touch of Ubuntu at all.Even a pocket distro like Slax has a customized wallpaper and look.Here's a tip for Kubuntu users-
Order an Ubuntu CD and get rid of Kubuntu.
I'm sticking to Ubuntu as I don't use sticky keys and use the buggy parts of it rarely.
Refer to my post-384-256+512=640 before reading this one.My RAM finally reached Delhi on 6th June at my cousin's house which is about a kilometer away from my house.I went to my cousin's house at 10:00am to get the RAM as I was eager to try it out.
When I reached there,I found out that my cousin brother aged 8 had got a CD of The SIMS 2 and wanted me to tech him/to see me play the game.It is notable that the ESRB rating of the game was 'Teen' but in India,people don't care!Back to the RAM story,I had to play SIMS 2 for a few hours and I must say
It was fun
I managed to reach home at 6pm to find my elder sister working on the computer.I knew I would have to wait for her to complete her work.Which meant a few more hours to wait.That was the case.
Finally, I managed to open up my cabinet and insert the RAM module at 9:00pm.I tried booting up and it worked.As expected,my computer performs faster now.
I have lots of stuff to do.Since my Ubuntu upgrade didn't work out well,I'll try a fresh install.Ankur told me that Ubuntu 8.04 is a bit buggy even with a fresh install.Perhaps I'll try Kubuntu if this is true as now I have enough RAM to run KDE properly.I'll tell you more about it when I do so.
