BPUT, Orissa JEE Cordinators and the responsible Orissa government officials have created a mess
August 27th, 2007
The initial vice chancellor of BPUT was Prof. Damodar Acharya, whose success in having a fixed non-negotiable semester schedule for colleges under BPUT, brought him and BPUT a lot of kudos and he went on to become the AICTE Chair and now the director of IIT Kharagpur. Since then BPUT’s functioning has seen a decline. But this year the functioning of BPUT and Orissa JEE has reached the lowest point. While classes have already started for students admitted during the initial counseling phase, the second counseling is yet to start. The lastest news (as of writing this) in the Orissa JEE website says the following:
Due to some unavoidable circumstances
it is not possible to publish the venue and schedule of counselling
for vacant NRI / JEE and AIEEE / AIPMEE / AIPDEE quota seats on 25/08/2007.
However, the same will be published shortly.
Tathya.in has some behind the scene news. I suggest that the students frustrated by this write to the Chief Minister and the Industry Secretary. Ultimately they are the ones responsible for this mess. The Orissa govt. web page is http://orissagov.nic.in/ from where you can find the email addresses of the CM and the industry secretary. BPUT web page is http://www.bput.org/ which has some contact email addresses. Although one can blow off steam by writing in the comments section of this blog, I am not sure if any of the responsible person (CMO, Industry Secretary or BPUT officials) read these pages. May be writing to them directly (in a polite manner) will let them know how their inaction and mishandling is frustrating many students. Writing comments in Tathya.in may have some impact as many of the news items in Tathya.in are picked up by other media. For example, the Tathya.in article about student’s frustration appears in a slightly edited form in Pioneer (the link will disappear in a day though). Following is a screen copy.

This is absolutely non-sensical. How can the officials do that???I am from Kolkata and I am interested to take admission in good colleges of Orissa via AIEEE ranking. If this is the scenario, then I guess we students need to move to court.What decision they take is of course a matter to us but the decisions should be taken timely. The officials must realise the condition they would be in if they were to stand in this situation as a student.
