Open Some Labs

"Open Some Labs" Selections
Hi, I'm "loud mouth" this is my friend in pink pants "Moanteey"/Gourmet we will be conducting your exams for the evening! Before we start , let me remind you that Plagiarism is a criminal offence! The paper is simple, comprising of about four main sections with three subsections. If you would like to take a break/pee please contact me or Moanteey. Good Luck!

**** Let the circus begin!! ******

What looked like a lazy sunday afternoon turned out to be an early placement day for the seventh batch! The students were seen walking out of the hall discussing very animatedly and consoling each other....

After hours of scrutunising and running complex algorithms to ensure all fairness in the tests...

Loud Mouth: Ok everybadie,(yelling) I have reesults naow, (yelling louder) I'm going to put it up on the notice board (yelling even more) ..
Moanteey : Be prepared with Data Structures/ Mining / Warehousing/ Abuse/ Reusability!

***** A few moments later at the Interview ******
See-the-earth-ready : Ok, so why did you choose to take up research?
Hapless Candidate #1 : Sirji, I mean See-the-earthji, My mind, and my body I want to augment with my soul since birth, so want to have ..
See-the-earth-ready : (interrupting) Ok ok I think I get the point....(WHat the?!?!)

.......
Loudmouth: Ok, ready turbulent coder #2?
turbulent coder #2: Yessir..
Moanteey: All the best ok.. go
Nike-l: Ok so what are your interests?
turbulent coder #2 : Hockey, TT, UT, CT, IT,BT...
Nike-l: Why do you wish to work in semi-structured-analysis-of-manually-derived-wide-area-distributed-randomised-search-networks?
turbulent coder #2 : Err, what?

.......

***** After a six-hour long gruelling interview session ******
We caught up with one of the interviewers, See-the-earth-ready. Ready says "the USP of Open Some Labs is to get the best of the bestest of the newest". Ready claims "We have managed to achieve 33% reservation for women". Ready also insists "The whole process was completely transparent ". Ready smiles emphatically and proclaims "Lets Open Some Labs"

Don't say we didn't warn you...

IIIT-B Security Measures in lieu of the recent events in the city...

If you notice any suspicious looking people moving around, inform De-Morogan, Aby, Sri Rao B.E or sane-dil so we can give them an application form!
If you notice an armed person or someone carrying explosive material (Bangchi) or other suspicious components screeeeam hysterically and run out of the campus.
If you notice suspicious looking material or unattended bags in the campus it might be filled with goodies, you can take it to your room and partyyy.
Strict vehicle and id-card checks, make sure all of them are emission tested!
In case of exchange of fire try to dodge bullets like the way keanu does. You can draw inspiration from "The Matrix" or any movie of SunnyDeol/Vijaykanth/Upendra.
Do not panic in the event of an incident, climb up the nearest tree and stay there until help arrives.
If any stranger asks you to care of some (suspicious looking) bags , throw it in the pond..it could be an explosive!
Kindly note some emergency numbers
1-800-ever-reddy........Reddeep
1-600-111-23................Dominos
111...................................Hutch Care
Fire 101
Fire again 102
Fire one last time 103

P.S for an actual version of this refer to the notice board at the reception.
