And here we are ,in a list of SCOOP!!’s being published every couple of days,till the juniors,arrive,we are going to roll out a great deal of SCOOP!! ,though the dates we project may vary from the actual dates.
DETAILS:
Expected by : last week of July,2010.
Status : pending launch.
Deadlock : More access points to be set up.
INTRODUCTION:
The campus of GITAM University (Hyd) is finally set to get Wi –Fi access all across the 10 acre campus.
This will be followed and preceded by various other developments on campus with respect to the campus infrastructure.
The Wi-Fi debate is one such which refuses to die down , since most of the first batch students were told,(Even thought the management claims otherwise)that the Hyderabad campus of GITAM University is Wi-Fi enabled(During the academic year 2009-2010),but never was it activated,except for the MBA Floor.
And during quite some students interactions session with the Director,the issues of Wi-Fi was always in the waiting list.
And this year too,the brochure of GITAM University Hyderabad claims to have a Wi-Fi enabled campus.
We at LAGH(lifeatgitamhyd) ,were supposed to be publishing posts under a separate header called as “Myth Busters”,dispelling the claims of the management in the brochure,but we held back the posts from being published,Since we wanted to tread the cautious path of wait and watch,The blog is currently at its peak status and any wrong move will bring the fame and credibility of the blog crashing down,and we are now pleased we never published the article :P.
STATUS:
The Access points have always been there,but a pity the management didn't feel any apparent obligation to do justice to the heavy fees paid by the 09-10 batch(1,08,500 INR),and with a strength of 200 odd students,with the management safety hiding behind “New Born baby ”tag,the students proved to be helpless to get the Wi-Fi activated.
The game has finally moved on,the fees has increased to Rs. 1.25 lakh,and the next batch of students are numbered close to 1000 odd ,with the campus total coming to 1200(approx.)
It is but logical to assume that the management can’t get away with the ” new born baby “ trick,and have finally decided to clear the funds to get the Wi-Fi access up and about.
CONSEQUENCES:
Facebook,and other social networking sites,and probably this blog too will not be accessible from the Wi-Fi servers.
This will be quite a concern,if drastic changes to the servers are not made,the Wi-Fi will hardly add to the snob value of the Hyderabad campus.
COMPLETION:
Good old, inside sources,hint that the Wi-Fi will be enabled within 15-20 days , it will be launched simultaneously at the hostels and the campus (of GITAM university Hyderabad).
We reckon that since we are dealing with the local management of GITAM University,the process might take a littler longer than the expected 3rd week of July,2010,and the actual launch will take place somewhere close to the last week on July or the early days of August,2010.
CONCLUSION:
The servers are here,the fund have been realised,the management is determined not to get into a mess with the juniors,all this point only one way forward,a bright future for the campus of Hyderabad,as we have always been saying that in a couple of years ,the campus will end up getting even better(Consequently the Blog too :))
Happy Surfing Everyone!!
Regards,
Good News at last.
ReplyDeleteThe management will definitely give the facility at the earliest, as it will enhance their reputation and this in turn will pave the way for next year admissions and hike in fees, a shrewd business man cannot mess up with his customers / clients, here it is students and their parents.
Other facilities also has to be looked into at the earliest, like SBI ATM, Indian Bank Branch, etc.
The management has to have a strategy to tackle all the issues, it cannot harp on the lable, that it is a new born baby. Survival of the fittest, when the institution boasts that it is 4th Private Deemed University, than, accordingly they have to live upto the reputation, they cannot show excuses for the delay, they have to attend all these issues in a war footing.
These are the assets that will be created for the University for the innumerable years to come, hence, it is not an expenditure, it is only an investment from long term perspective.
Dyanamism should be the watchword of the management now.
