NIT Warangal for the Aspirant

NIT Warangal for the Aspirant : A collection of valuable information about the prestigious institution National Institute of Technology,Warangal (NIT Warangal)for the future NITians as well as for anyone who would like to know more about this college

Sadly there is no authoratative guide on the net regarding this issue.

So I thought about writing this one…

NIT Warangal has always been on the list of the best technical education institutes

in India.Facilities are at par with the best in the country and the highly experienced faculty adds to the strong academic curriculum.

Admission process for NIT Warangal is through the AIEEE examination and there is state wise quota.

There is a separate admission process for Foreign Students (DASA Scheme).

Popular FAQ:

1. The first question that comes to the mind is where is Warangal?

Ans: Warangal is one of the best cities in Andhra Pradesh,just 2 hours from Hyderabad.Reaching Warangal is just child’s play.Warangal is well connected by both road and rail.

All the trains on the Delhi Route stop by Warangal.Alternatively you can reach ‘Kazipet’ as the college is nearer to it.(But guys from Kerala , remember no direct train stops at Kazipet.Catch the Kerala Exp or an alternate train.)

2. I reached Warangal,where is the college(NIT Warnagal)?

Ans: From the Warangal station it is just half an hour on the Autorickshaw (autos are the popular means of commutation not buses.)It will cost you around 40-50 bucks (depending upon your negotiation skill) and if you are travelling alone you can have a ’share auto’ (autos look the same,but say direct for direct auto) for Rs 8-10.

3.Ok, now I reached the college,where is the counselling centre?

Ans: You will be guided to the centre by the volunteers at the gate,Don’t panic.We will be there to guide you.

The counselling should go fine and you can give your options and see around the college.

The Central Library is sure to stun you (one of the best technical libraries in the country) and the new administrative block is going to be an architectural wonder.(Hope that the construction is complete.)

4. Oh my god this place is infested with naxalites!!!

Never.This has been the question put forward by most of the parents with whom I interacted…

They were a thing of the past,you can safely send your ward over…

5. Which bank operates closest to NITW?

State Bank of Hyderabad has a college branch and an ATM. Most of us use the SBH and many have an account also.

Let me share a cool hack.Instead of opening an account you could give your son/daughter the ATM card of the account at home (All State Bank cards are taken,along with some other banks) saving you the trouble of going through the process of actually creating one.

Other than SBH, we have Andhra Bank,ICICI at Hanamkonda (10 minutes from the college by auto).

Any questions and queries head over to the following websites:

I strongly suggest you to head over to the Orkut Community, mentioned above to get answers for your doubts. All the very best to all the Aspirants.

Google Streets

Innovation Innovation and more!!

But this time Google takes it to the next level with the Google Street View…

‘ Explore neighborhoods at street level–virtually ‘ goes the Tag line…

But it raises some moral issues,as the privacy of the American is at stake…

Anyways I guess it will take a long time for the Streets to hit India.

Yahoo Messenger Status Checker

This is a diff method and I found it quite accidentally..
While running an nmap scan over the network, came to notice admdog on port 5101.
Did a quick Google on it..
and came to know that it was the yahoo messenger port.
So even if your friend is invisible running an nmap (provided you know the ip ) you can get to know whether he is online.

But I found this hack to be pretty useful though even better methods are there to check on the Messenger Status.

Googled!!

The Chinese search engine that out-Googled Google

Chinese search giant Baidu is beating Google at its own game in China, but it’s playing by different rules

INGAPORE — “I get it,” the Western man says, speaking heavily accented Chinese. Surrounded by beautiful Chinese women in the video advertisement, he grins with self-satisfaction.

Nearby, a suave Chinese man dressed in scholar’s robes laughs. “You don’t necessarily get it,” he says. As the ad unfolds, the Chinese scholar proceeds to humiliate the Westerner, mocking his poor Chinese-language skills. In the end, the women flock to the scholar’s side, and the Westerner is left confused, alone and humiliated.

“Baidu understands Chinese better,” the Baidu.com Inc. advertisement says, needling the company’s former investor and current rival, Google Inc. And statistics seem to bear that out: Baidu accounts for 62% of the country’s search traffic, up from 52% in 2005, according to the China Internet Network Information Center in Beijing. For Western companies trying to establish a Web presence in China, understanding how Baidu plays the game could be key.

Robin Li

Founded in 2000 by Robin Li and Eric Xu, two Chinese technology executives who once worked in the U.S., Baidu has grown to become the most visited Chinese-language Web site in the world. In the process, it has also earned the rare distinction of being one of few companies to have competed toe-to-toe with Google and won, though some would say the playing field was tilted.

Baidu’s detractors claim that the company abets music piracy and pads the top of its search results with paid listings. But the success and popularity of the company’s search engine is undeniable.

A large part of Baidu’s early success is attributable to its MP3 search engine, which came just as MP3 players were taking off in China. Lawsuits brought by music companies claiming that the search service infringes on their copyrights haven’t slowed Baidu’s progress.

The company’s rise occurred as the Chinese government was growing increasingly concerned about Google’s search engine.
