Day 269 - 19th July 2011

Spent the first half of the day giving finishing touches to the markstrat assignment. We also had all the committee presentations for pgp-1 in the night for which preparatory work had to be done. Over the past couple of days there were a lot of issues and concerns regarding the system for credits in the second year. The MCSA and ARC had discussions with faculty members over the past 2 days and today some of those issues got resolved. We have a bouquet system for courses in the second year where we can choose which subjects we want to pick in both the core and elective area. Apart from that we also have certain compulsory courses from the general management and communication studies area. Have until 5 p.m. day after tomorrow to select the subjects for this year. In the evening had to go through the committee budgets with Apar and Jhamb which took about an hour or so. Also had some FIF1 work which needed to be done.

The committee presentations happened in the audi from 1030 onwards. Each committee had to make a pitch to pgp-1 as to why they should apply for their junior committee. Some of the presentations were really good, the challenge being to hold the attention of 164 people for 5 hours. SCAM went a step further with the committee members presenting in sports gear and also entering to music from jo jeeta wohi sikander :D The presentations went on till 315 in the morning. PGP-1 now needs to decide which committees they have to apply to. MCSA work kept me up until 530 in the morning, last couple of 'rest' days ahead before classes begin.
