MINUTES
1 . Request for LAN in Mega Hostels:
Request was put forward for LAN facility in Mega Boys Hostel. /* I’m not sure what he said about this */
- Request to change the CGPA conversion formula:
Request was given to change the current CGPA conversion formula. The current formula deducts .5 from the cgpa and multiplies it by 10 to get percentage marks. It was proposed that the deduction of .5 be removed and that cgpa be directly multiplied by 10. But it was not considered as the most other NITs follow the formula that is currently used.
- Request to add more faculties in the Training and Placement cell :The training and placement cell is managed by a single Faculty and a peon currently. It was proposed that more faculties may be put under the cell so as to make its working more efficient. The matter will be discussed with Suresh Babu Sir the following day .
- Sports Issues in general
- Mechanism to complaint against faculty and to make teacher evaluation more effective
It was pointed out that, though there is a system to evaluate the faculties, proper follow up is not done which leaves the whole process without any result.
- Web site and DSS /*dont remember*/
- Bus service for first year girls
Request for NITC bus to be used for the proposed bus service between new lecture hall complex and Ladies Hostel during lunch hours was put forward.
- Request to improve Ambulance and other medical facilities
The poor condition of the ambulance and lack of proper medical facilities were mentioned. It was assured that due importance would be given to the issue and proper action would be taken to improve them.
- Wifi facility to be availed in hostels
Due to the huge size of mega ladies hostel, It is impossible to facilitate room to room LAN as it may cause inconvenience to cleaning staff and the speed will also be less.
- Cultural team funding /* dont remember .please add */
- Opening of new Library complex
