The admissions of the prestigious IIITs (International Institute of Information Technologies) of Andhra Pradesh have become a farce, with the government cancelling this year's provisional merit list for the second time yesterday.
IIITs & the Rajiv Gandhi University of Knowledge Technologies (RGUKT) are the initiative of the Government of Andhra Pradesh. RGUKT offers 6 years full time residential integrated Engineering programs at its IIITs for Students who completed their 10th Standard.
RGUKT's mission is to cater to the educational needs of the meritorious rural youth of Andhra Pradesh. However, this year's admissions process is ruining the academic year for many students.
The fiasco started when, earlier this year, AP Government initiated the admissions for 6000 seats of three IIITs: Basara (Adilabad), Nuzivedu (Krishna) Rajiv Knowledge Valley (Kadapa). The institute prepared its first provisional list with non transparent selection criteria.
As the public & press made protests on the widespread malpractices in the selection process, the authorities cancelled the list and declared a new merit based admissions process.
The IIIT results were declared on 1st Aug. But, this list too has many instances where the eligible candidates were not offered admissions.
The state of affairs at IIIT admissions were so pathetic that, the provisional merit list has names of candidates who haven’t applied to the institute.
After a lot of protest over the last couple of days, the RGUKT dean finally cancelled the merit list. This delay in admissions has put the fate of many an aspirant in a limbo, as all other institutes are closing their admissions for the year and the students have to decide whether to join or wait for IIIT results
The irony is that the RGUKT & IIITs, who are supposed to provide IT education, issued a press note that the admission merit list had anomalies due to Database and Programming Problems!!

Janmashtami Greetings
India celebrates Krishna Janmashtami (Also called as Krishnashtami or Gokulashtami or Sri Krishna Jayanti) on Friday 14th August 2009.
Janmashtami is the birth day of Lord Krishna.
On this day, devotees remember the baby krishna’s naughty deeds by dressing up the kids at home in Krishna’s attire. People imprint foot marks of Krishna in front of their houses as a gesture of Krishna walking into their homes.
One of the naughtiest deeds of young Krishna, is that he along with his friends (all kids in his neighborhood – Gokul) used to steals the butter/cream from all the houses in his neighborhood. To save the butter/cream, the neighbors used to put the butter/cream in pots and keep it hanging from the ceilings in their kitchens. Krishna & gang eventually used to break the pot and steal the cream.
This incident is remembered through the most important celebration of Janmashtami - Dahi Handi Celebrations – in Mumbai (Bombay) and Pune.
Watch out for the event to be covered by all popular media in India.
