Social steps by Techkriti in IIT Kanpur

Techkriti, IIT Kanpur

Techkriti, the annual international Technical and Entrepreneurial festival of Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur is being organized in its 20th version from 6th March 2014, Thursday to 9th March 2014, Sunday here at the IIT campus, Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh. With its theme as "Virtually Progressing World", Techkriti aims at making this world a better place to live. Last year Techkriti set on a path to fix the planet in their small way and they made it seem big. For most it would be the end of the road, but for them, it had just begun. This time, whilst Techkriti '14, the team's efforts, their work and their thoughts are all towards ensuring one simple goal - help the society as much as possible, in any way possible, however small or big. They may provide education for a 100 kids, plant hundreds of plants, run campaigns for equality of men and women, or hold a competition to find out the best talent that our society has to offer. The festival is aimed at reduction of carbon footprint of country, preservation of environment and promotion of sustainable development and it encourages participants as well as audience to participate in the same.

In its quest to improve the standard of living in the world and in India in particular, Techkriti has taken up various social initiatives.
  • PRAKRITI: Plantation drive as a part of our efforts towards sustainable development, and preservation of our ecology. It is also aimed at creating awareness about general environment problems among the public.
  • Make A Wish: A campaign in which we will ask each child of an orphanage to 'Make A Wish' and would give our best to fulfill those wishes via donations from benevolent public. We believe the dreams and wishes are what drive a child to endeavor to aim high and bloom into a responsible and contributing citizen.
  • Uttarakhand Collection Drive: A flood relief collection drive for the survivors of the tragic natural disaster that struck Uttarakhand. We collaborated with Goonj, an NGO working in this field and sent basic essential commodities to the disaster affected region.

Kota Topper Story: Shitikanth IIT JEE 2008 Topper

Image
I gave JEE in 2009 and used to hear about this "topper" guy from the 2nd floor of my hostel. Topper of A1. I didn't pay too much attention. Then one day after my dinner my friends asked me if I noticed who was sitting next to me during the meal. I said no. They said it was the same guy. I didn't care much there either. I saw him for the first time in a cricket field. The lean stick-figure boy who didn't speak much. He had a ball in his hand and a single electric pole was being used as the wicket. I was fielding. I saw him bowl and all my senses absorbed after that was the clattering sound of the ball on the pole. That's when I was introduced Sitikanth. And the stories began! Once during class, V K Bansal (THE BANSAL of Bansal Classes) told us a story of when 2 weeks before JEE Sitikanth came to him, dejected and confused. Saying he had nothing to do. Bansal Sir gave him the toughest integration problems he had, thinking this should be enough to keep him a

The Most Brilliant Students of Kota Ever

Anuj Nagpal(AIR 190):  This guy was the most intelligent person I ever met. In hostel, he was one of the most fun loving guys, he only used to do the assignments of mathematics (only because it was taught to us by the director of the coaching). Though I was not in his hostel but my closest friends were in his hostel and used to tell me all the stuff they did at night. Late night chats, discussion about random things (which had no relation with JEE at all). There was a time when all feared Nagpal and used to say "Nagpal is gonna come and he is going to spoil our full night." That guy was much different from all other people I have ever met.  He got an AIR 190 only because we weren't taught inorganic chemistry, else he would have got much better rank than this.  He is AIR190 in JEEAdv 2014, AIR190(State rank 2) in JEEMain 2014, BITSAT score-398, CBSE 12th %- 97.6. Rajdeep(AIR 1700 in first attempt, AIR 1200 in second attempt):  This was the coolest guy I ever met, studie

How much You can get by Selling your IIT JEE RANK ??

Shubham Tulsiani says This is quite a common practice among institutes so I would like to address the trends too apart from the personal experiences and I'll also write on one aspect the question didn't explicitly ask  - offers  before  JEE Pre-JEE (class 12th) I had a couple of 'offers' - Some people from Akash Institute came over to my place to 'gift' me books to help me prepare for JEE. All I had to do was - guess what - yes, sign a form ! I was amazed at how insistent they were and despite me saying I didnt need the books and wouldn't sign,  they made me keep the books. They then visited / called me about 5 more times to get my signature (until I finally returned the unused books on their last visit and told my hostel guard to not allow them back). I later learnt that they had been giving these 'gifts' to some of my (well performing) batchmates in Bansal Classes too and unfortunately a lot of them had signed up too. I was also on
