Incord 2005: A report.

My alma mater, HBTI, successfully conducted Incord 2005 recently. A report follows. But before that, my message on behalf of alumni for the event souvenir. Incord helped bring together Harcourtians - alumni and current students.

A message from Alumni on oaccasion of Incord
We, the alumni of HBTI, are extremely glad and proud to know of Incord 2005, the signature event of FCSEIT, HBTI.

Corporate-Academics interaction is an issue that is critical for sustainable growth of both the parties. A lot of developments happen on both sides, but its only events such as Incord that bring the two together. The technical and business seminars planned in Incord are an optimal mix for industry and students to exchange notes.

Further, Incord represent leadership at two levels: Students, and Institute. In conceiving such a grand event, and ensuring its successful implementation, students have demonstrated the leadership traits which are a prerequisite, more than ever, today in business environment. At a broader level, Incord consolidates HBTI's position as a thought-leading institution.

Such symposiums are also a great opportunity for alumni to reconnect with the alma mater. I have personally interacted with many of the current students - not just from FCSEIT, but from across disciplines - who are involved in Incord. I am very impressed with the dedication and initiative that these students have demonstrated. On behalf of all HBTI alumni, I would like to wish students, faculty, and staff a grand success for Incord.

Best wishes

# First Day:
Opening cermony begun one hour late as Chief Guest didn't reach on time.This created hic-ups in our overall schedule for the first day. Since on that very day there was slot for the speakers, their schedule also got disturbed. but other then that all other event went smoothly. Hospitality was not upto the mark for that day. It was bit shaky. But overall participation of student from within HBTI n Outdside were significant. Motivational Show by Anuj khare also made significant impact on students.
# Second Day:
If first day belongs to Industrial exposure then second day totally belonged to student participation. there was Paper Presentation,Quizes,Games on
LAN, website hacking context and many more. School chlidren also got exposure as few schools student group came to listen speakers from IITK and ISI Calcutta. well speeches by these speakers were of really high quality.In paper presention also students from very far of colleges participated like from DAV Patel Kolhapur ,colleges from Kota. BotBash(robo war) was a big hit among student. It created lot of excitment among all, as it was saomething that everyone dreamnt of but didnt expected to happen. Competition was stiff in that event.
# Third day:
On this day there were few more competitiones , Panel discussion was bit informative. atlast Cultural event also was of good standard. student danced on tune of good music.A rhythem of music which tuned the digital mind to maximum bandwidth n frequency. Singer was Mahemoob Ali(winner of SAREGAMA,a Zee Tv Show).Student's performance was above par. in the end there was prize dristibution to winners, participants and to the event coordinators.
# Promises which could not be fulfilled:
1. Video Confrencing could not take place as BSNL move out of scene,as they refused to arrange for the infrastruction as been earlier promised by them.
2. Aryans(or even Euphoria) could not be called as sponorship for it could not be arranged.
# HIghlight of the Seminar:
1.Speakers from IIT(there were 2) and from ISI calcutta.
2.Proffesionals from MICROSOFT,VIRTUALWORKS.
3.Presentation by TCS.
4.Speech by GM of BSNL,IIT Director,

5.Coverage of Seminar By HT, Times of India and other newspapers.
6.There was a media cell of Incord 2005 itself, and it was specially run by MCA batch. Its newsletter was called Incord Times.
# Letdown:
1.Hospitality
2.Scheduling(specially mistiming of Lunch)
Other than that i believe its been the best thing which could have happened in HBTI.
