I received a SMS today about the final phase of VIT counseling.There are still a few seats remaining and candidates with AIR under 11,000 have been called for counselling.This phase of counseling is remote counseling and candidates have to Fax their forms and a copy of a DD of Rs10,000 to VIT.Click on the link at the bottom of this post for full details.
Seat Availiability
CHEMICAL ENGINEERING-21
CIVIL ENGINEERING-21
ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING-46
ELECTRONICS AND INSTRUMENTATION ENGINEERING-34
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY-57
MECHANICAL AND ENERGY ENGINEERING-27
I won't be applying for admission as I feel that NIT Bhopal is a much better option than VIT.I'm not too keen to go to a college in South India either.They've been lots of debates on VIT on my blog,you're welcome to start another one.The comments are an eyeopener for me.

VIT Final Phase Counselling
Cisco Certification
You may be a software developer or a computer engineer but to be an Information Technology professional,a certification course is a good option.If you are looking to enhance your IT skills via a certification course,Cisco certification is meant for you.They offer good IT certifications which will update your IT skills.These courses will definitely lead to your career growth and success.These certifications act as a credibility builder in your career,field and industry.
Cisco certification even offers various specialist certifications like-
-Advanced Routing and Switching
-Data Center Switching Network Infrastructure
-Data Center Storage Networking
-Foundation for Channel Partners
-IP Communications Certifications
-VPN and Security Certifications
-Wireless LAN Certifications
Cisco certification offers great career opportunities and hefty packages.According to an annual salary survey conducted in 2007,the average salary of a CCNA professional is around US$74,810.What's even more exciting is that if the person has a professional-level CCVP voice-based certification beyond the CCNA, there is possibility of a 23 percent salary hike.
Here's what makes a Cisco certification special.The Cisco certification might look like a small piece of paper but trust me,its much more than that.Any degree can get you a job with a decent pay package but most of these are temporary.A Cisco certification will give you a career in IT and not just a temporary job.Thus,if you want a career in Information Technology,get yourself a Cisco certification.There are many more benefits that a Cisco certification can offer you about which you can read on the website.

AIEEE Central Counselling
I had my AIEEE central counseling today.It was a really tiring experience as over 400 candidates reported at the Delhi counseling center.Here are the details of the on-campus online counseling procedure.
Documents Required(With one copy)
-AIEEE Admit Card
-AIEEE Score Card
-Class X mark sheet and certificate
-Class XII mark sheet and certificate
-Demand Draft of Rs.15,000
-4 Photographs
First,you need to queue to get a token number.Then wait for your turn to get a file with a declaration form issued.After that,arrange all documents in the file and fill up the form.Now you need to get the documents verified and wait in a room for your file.Then you will be called to finalize your choices online.
Sounds simple?I reached the center at 9:30am.I got a token number at 11:00am(I was number 360).I got a file at around 2:30pm and the procedure of verification of documents took another 30-50 minutes.Finally,I entered the counseling room at 3:30 PM.And by the time I collected my fee receipt and completed all formalities it was 4:00pm.The people at the center had a time limit of 1 hour in mind and they were sort of giving the people taking more than that tough time.
Parents are not allowed in the counseling room.Thus I could hear people saying on the phone
Mummy,Silchar mein bharoon?.......I was lucky to sit in front of the window so I just called my Dad in front of it and easily cleared a few doubts that had found their way into my mind all of a sudden.The on-campus online counseling website was 100 times better than the off-campus online one.Unlike the off-campus counseling,the on-campus one didn't reload the entire page in order to rearrange options.
Then you have to freeze your choices for Form1 and Form2 and to to an official to lock your choices and get a print-out of your form 1 and form 2.I was finished with everything by 5:15pm.
Here are some tips-
1.Don't fill too many choices in Form1 if you have hope from Form2 as if you get alloted to a crappy place by form 1,you won't be considered for drop-out seats.
2.Either reach the counseling center at 6:00 am or at 3:00pm.The reason being that the guy who reached at 8:30 am left at 10:30.I reached at 9:30 am and left at 5:15pm.A guy arrived the center at 4:00pm and left at the time I left.
The allotment is generally put up on the CCB website by 12 midnight.You can download the allotment letter and report at the institute by 20th July to complete admission formalities.
Update-I was alloted Energy Engineering at Maulana Azad NIT Bhopal.I never expected getting to a good NIT in a good branch with an All India Rank of 14191.

VIT 2nd Phase Counseling
After the First Phase of counseling,there are a few vacant seats in VIT which claims to be India's top private engineering college.But from what I've heard from people elder to me,its a crappy place and the only thing good about it is its Prospectus which depicts it as a Paradise.Also the hostel food is cooked in Coconut Oil which is intolerable and you'll feel miserable if you get a room near the kitchen.
Anyways,if you are still keen to join VIT,I have news for you.VIT has announced the 2nd Phase of it counseling.The number of vacant seats are as follows-
BIOINFORMATICS-NIL
BIO-MEDICAL ENGINEERING-NIL
BIOTECHNOLOGY-NIL
CHEMICAL ENGINEERING-27
CIVIL ENGINEERING-47
COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING-NIL
ELECTRONICS AND COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING-NIL
ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING-94
ELECTRONICS AND INSTRUMENTATION ENGINEERING-60
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY-105
MECHANICAL ENGINEERING-85
MECHANICAL AND ENERGY ENGINEERING-36
If you wish to get one of these seats at VIT and your rank is under 8000,register for 2nd Phase of counseling via SMS.To get more information about the 2nd Phase of counseling,visit the following link-

AIEEE and BITSAT Cutoffs
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.

Back to Blogging
All of my exams are finally over and now you can expect lots of posts because I have nothing to do at all.Here's a summary of all the exams-
IIT JEE-As expected,I didn't qualify in JEE 2008.
VITEEE-VITEEE was easy but the no negative marking policy is cruel.I can get into VIT but I won't get CS or IT,so what's the point?Secondly,I don't feel that VIT is a good college as I have heard numerous negative remarks about it.
AIEEE-AIEEE was a relief after JEE and VITEEE.I am expecting a good result in AIEEE and a seat in CS in a good NIT.
BITSAT-BITSAT was a shocker.I probably made too many silly mistakes and reduced my marks.Perhaps the time slot didn't suit me that well.
CEE-I appeared for the DCE,NSIT common entrance exam(CEE) today.Those guys took away the question paper too so its difficult to say anything.All I can say is that I have a chance of getting through.
Conclusion-I will probably get into a decent engineering college this year.

VITEEE 2008 Result Out
The VITEEE(Pronounced as "WITTY") 2008 result is out.The result would've been SMSed to you if you had given your mobile number.In case you haven't checked your rank yet,you can check your rank from this page.Although,the top 6,000 have been called for counselling I've heard that last year the last rank to get admission was around 20,000.Other sources tell me that there will be a second round of counseling for ranks 6000 to around 12000.I've gathered all this information by word of mouth.VIT is a private college so obviously VITEEE is not the only way to get in.
From what I've heard,the top 6,000 can get the branch of their choice in VIT like Computer Science and IT.If you are in the top 10,000 you will get admission for sure but you might not get a popular branch.Basically,just wait for counseling and you'll get what you deserve.Nobody can tell you accurately as seats are subject to availability.

AIEEE 2008 Cut-Off and Analysis
The AIEEE solutions are out.You would have calculated your marks by now.If you haven't done so,you can do so by visiting my post-Download AIEEE 2008 Solutions.You must be wondering what marks would be good enough to get a rank under 10000.The cut-off will be around 180/315 for a rank under 10000.
The format of the paper changed this year.There were 105 questions in all,35 each of Physics,Chemistry and Maths.The questions carried 3 marks as usual and there was negative marking of -1 mark per wrong question.The paper was really simple but had Assertion Reason type questions which were unexpected.
According to Career Launcher,a score of 60-65 in Maths,55-60 in Physics and 65-70 in Chemistry can be called an excellent score.All the best for the result.You can also post your marks in a comment to compare with others.
Here are some landmark ranks and the score you require for them.Note that my analysis of the cutoff might differ from the actual cutoff by a few marks. You can still comment and post your marks.
| Marks | Expected Rank |
| 60 | 1,00,000 |
| 80 | 75,000 |
| 100 | 50,000 |
| 125 | 30,000 |
| 150 | 20,000 |
| 175 | 10,000 |
| 200 | 5,000 |
| 250 | 1,000 |

BITSAT Hall Ticket
Haven't decided and reserved your BITSAT date and time yet?I have bad news for you.You can no longer do that.For the rest of the people which includes around 99.99% of the applicants,you can now download your hall ticket from the BITSAT website.You can download the hall ticket from 20th March till 31st March.For people who think Computer Science is the toughest subject and they'll have to study 24X11,don't get too excited after your computer exam and set a reminder to sit in front of your computer and print the hall ticket after the exam.
Don't have a printer/can't print at home?I have a solution for you.You can try PDF24,a virtual PDF printer.You can convert any text file into a PDF file using it.The installer will install the printer for you.Whenever you print something using pdf24,it will create a pdf file which you can save on your computer.So just print the hall ticket using pdf24 and save the pdf.Transfer it to a storage media like a CD,Pen Drive or even a Floppy if you still like primitive stuff.You can take the actual print-out whenever you want.

Back To JEE Preparation
Now that I have 9 free days before my Maths Bored Exam,I can get back to my JEE preparation.English,Physics and Chemistry went fine.I can't expect anything in English.I'll get something like 60/70 in Physics and 65/70 in Chemistry.English was really simple and if things work out well in terms of checking,I'll get a decent score.Lots of things to revise so I'll keep this short.

DPS VK InSecure?
My friends often tell me about incidents of somebody getting caught jumping over the school wall.I hear one such case every week or so.I just can't understand why these kids want to get out of the school premises in the first place.Secondly,why don't they use the right way to do so.I'll found the correct way to get out of school safely.
I had my computer science pre-board practicals today.I even had a class at VMC thus I couldn't go for Access.This also meant that I needed to return home as soon as possible.I asked my Rep to sign a slip permitting me to leave the school premises at 12pm.The slip,which was supposed to be my gate pass is still in my pocket.Let me tell you how.
I walked confidently towards the main gate of the school,with my black bag on my shoulders and to my surprise,the guy with the register was busy talking to someone else.He hardly noticed me even when I was standing right in front of him.
I was looking for a person to check my slip and I literally waited for somebody to check my permission slip.Then I thought that the best way to be noticed is to walk straight out of the gate casually.I looked at a few guards sitting outside the gate and still had the slip in my hand.I was a bit confused and surprised after all this.
Then I hired an auto-rickshaw(Tuk-Tuk in other words) to go home.This is called bad poor security.

Esnips-Download Free Music
There are many ways to download free music from the internet.P2P(Peer to Peer) applications like Limewire,Ares and using torrents is one such way.These are a bit of a pain for Windows users as they have to worry about viruses and other Malware.One thing I like about these applications is that all sorts of songs are available in different formats.Here's a tip for Limewire(Windows users,follow it at your own risk)-Search Limewire for Limewire Pro,download the crack and upgrade to Pro for free.
There are a few websites which provide free song downloads but there is a restriction to most of these.Cool Goose Cool Toad is one such website.You won't find too many songs there but you might get some Hindi songs.The interface of this website is horrible and search is a pain in the neck.You need to sign-up to browse and download song.In short,Cool Toad is useless.
There are some other websites like Fun Maza and Masti4India which provide free Hindi songs for download.Note that these websites provide songs only in real media format(.rm) and you need Real Player to play these songs.
Now,let me come to the main topic of this post.Esnips is a website for sharing all kind of media like songs,videos etc.This website has none of the drawbacks mentioned above.You can find all sorts of music and videos in different formats.You can even get free E-Books there.
Till a few days ago,you needed to signup to download songs.But they have changed their policy.Recently,they have removed the download option and only streaming is available.You can use Firefox add-ons to download the songs but I have an even simpler fix to the problem.
You don't need to be a member to download songs.All you have to do is to search for the song and when you find it,look at the address bar to find the URL.For example if GQ wants to download RATM's Renegades of Funk,the URL is- http://www.esnips.com/doc/18.....Funk
Now all you have to do is to change the folder.Change 'doc' in the URL to 'nsdoc'.Thus to download,the URL becomes-
http://www.esnips.com/nsdoc/180....Funk
or simply-http://www.esnips.com/nsdoc/180...77
The download will start.This even works with mobile phones and I do this with my Mobile Phone Browser-Opera Mini.
P.S-Esnips has stopped working properly these days.So,this method might not work temporarily.There's another website called Aimini from which you can download free music.
If you wish to stick to esnips,here's a suggestion-Some people with better brains have uploaded songs in archives which you can download without even signing up.Promote this idea and you'll be able to download as many songs as you wish to.

You might have noticed the decrease in the frequency of posts on my blog.The reason is pretty obvious.I'm a student of class XII and attend classes at VMC for IIT JEE 2008 preparation.Thus I rarely get time to maintain my blog and write some posts.
VMC has a tradition of completing the syllabus not before the month of January.December is a month of frequent classes.The so called pre-bored boards are scheduled for January.Topics like Inorganic Chemistry,Biomolecules and Modern Physics are tough on the mind as all these require mugging up the awful book published by the NCERT.
The insignificant Bored Board exams will keep me buys in March.13th April is going to be a date to watch out for.No,I'm not talking about the harvesting festival,Baisakhi.It's the IIT JEE day.I'm better off not keeping the date out of my mind.It can interfere with my preparation.
Basically,the next few months are going to be the months with the least number of posts on Naman Zone.Though you will find a new post in the next 2 days,don't expect too many posts.
