I am really glad to announce the RPSIT Alumni Network. For a long time this network was needed so the alumni may reconnect, share experience, exchange ideas and motivate youngsters. After a homework of one year, recently the RPSIT Alumni Network launched. Currently we the network is also available on Facebook, Google Groups for connectivity. More than 250 alumni has joined the network in first two days. At present students from all the batches are in the group starting from 1995-99 batch to 2005-09 batch. The charter of RPSIT Alumni Network has been drafted and at present it is under review by alumni network. 

We are planning for organize alumni reunion, and looking forward for your valuable opinion/suggestions. The objective is to establish connectivity among alumni of the institution. This reunion will also have webcast and video conference facility so we can reach out maximum possible number so alumni. Join the RPSIT Alumni Network Group of Facebook, Feel free to write your suggestion and query.

After the publication of engineering result I was in college to get my documents from the college and felt like end of the relation with college as now I was just an alumni not a student. Also after joining CDAC it was almost an end of my academic career for now, I was really messed up with things and emotions. Meanwhile I met HoD of MBA Department and found something interesting. All the decisions I have ever made were taken in seconds or minutes so this one too. By end of that day I was again a student of the RPSIT.

The college is running for a long time but MBA course was introduced few years back. Being a new department challenges and opportunities are endless. I guess one month has been passed since classes started, we had a mixed experience with teachers some are great, some are not-so-great.

According to my opinion there is a need of change in methodology of teaching, and I am very hopeful to see this change in couple of weeks. The best part of this institution is 'we never say no to any positive change'. One of the notable aspect of teaching and faculties is the effort to generate entrepreneurial temperament among student and leadership.
Apart from learning global business theories and models, we also focus over local contemporary business issues. I like everything, but at the same time I find a huge scope of betterment and up-gradation in quality with the help of connections, technologies and honest effort of both students and college.

In 2005-09 session, I took admission at RPSIT in Engineering course with major in Computer Science & Engineering at that time the name of the engineering degree being awarded by Magadh University was B. Sc. Engineering (later it was changed into B.Tech). The course completed this June (2011), two years delayed from scheduled time of completion due to delay in the academic session of university. Now a days courses and sessions are running on time (almost).

I have been writing RPSIT blog for last three years but unfortunately lost my previous posts recently. I was among those students who got admission in the college in last days of admission season, so we were allotted Section D in first year.

Six years are pretty long period of time for studying the course of four years duration, but I feel it was rather short. At some point of time we were disappointed and upset with university too, when we met our friends who were completed their graduation and working with companies while we were in the middle of course. But we never had any regret for choosing RPSIT.

RPSIT is one of the oldest private engineering colleges of Bihar. It has a very long list of successful alumni. Till date we don't have an active placement cell in college. And college don't bother about placement of students, as it is supposed to be the task of students themselves. 

Most of my friends opted to go for further studies and preparation for PSU jobs. By now only few have got placement with their personal effort.

Studying at RPSIT was like leading your life in your own way. There were no stringent rules for students and compulsion of attendance. You have to choose what you want to do, what you want to learn, and how you want to shape your career. Passing examinations were not so tough but never so easy either. There were no any burden of assignments and projects like other colleges. This freedom was great for those who wanted to learn engineering not study, but at the same time it ruined some of students under misguidance.

We lived a unforgettable journey of around six years in this college, and we all friends will remain in hearts of each other forever.

I am Prafull.

“There must be a synchronisation between your ideas and your practices.”

I was waiting for a right time so I can execute some of the own and borrowed ideas since long. But today I am sure that there is no right time for an entrepreneur to start execution. However, seed money is a factor that cannot be avoided.

Recently I have started a small web based business about which I was thinking for last five years. This can be counted as first one for profit.

For non profit initiatives, it is often uneasy to initiate but as you go it become exciting with the fuel called appreciation. People start accepting you and early or late your venture become the only choice of many. In my opinion the best time of learning is the duration before we complete first lap, for me those were most memorable days of my entrepreneurial life.

Once someone told me "Success is directly proportional to struggle." I guess we all agree if we have ever done or tried to do something in the right way.

Since I started preparation for civil services examinations my family and friends were not looking happy (rather confused). Everyone is thinking that I am currently pursuing the state called idle. If everything will go perfect, It will take two years for the final result of UPSC CSE 2012. Two years is a long time so I decided to complete my master degree along with Mission-2012. After all you must have an answer for the most frequently asked question by everyone or anyone you meet "What are you doing these days?". And "preparation for UPSC" can't be the answer as it is very much similar to "doing nothing".

Management is available in the subject list for UPSC-Mains exam, and I was very much interested in this stream of study. I always think like an entrepreneur and work on business ideas so it has been suggested by many people already.

On 2nd August, 2011 I took admission in 2 year full time MBA course in our beloved college RPSIT. Looking forward for a great couple of years ahead.

Few subjects were helping in GS preparation also, few were of my absolute interest, few had short syllabus, few were easy to understand and answer. And at the last I concluded with an observation that I am wasting my time so I should not bother about optional and prepare for CSAT only for next few months as I am not done with CSAT papers (GS and Paper II) either.

I don't know whether my strategy is right or wrong, but one thing I am sure about is I should not waste my time anymore.

The logic behind this decision was an experience, when I was in first year of my engineering course I was fascinated with papers like Artificial Intelligence, Cyber Security, Signal Processing and also .NET programming (like most of students) but after three years of study when I was in final year I came to the fact that I can utilize my potential fullest in Java programming and testing and opted it for my early career. The objective behind this story was just to justify my decision of with a reference I had, may be after going through CSAT preparation I become able to choose a optional subject in a better manner. Let's see whether I prove myself RIGHT or WRONG.

I am getting late. For last few of years I was trying to figure out what to do and what not to do. I was damn confused until this morning, but I think it's alright now.

Who am I? I am the one who left his job last week, so a bad employee; one who failed to start few entrepreneurial ventures planned in past couple of years, so a bad entrepreneur; not a good engineer either. Don't take it in wrong way, I am not depressed or even unhappy with my life.

Today after a week long brainstorming session and tons of mental stress finally I decided to put my all effort for UPSE-CSE 2012. And not to engage myself for more than a limit in any other activity including job and few very close to my heart like TEDxPatna and UEN Summit. It looks like I am again on a mission impossible. Let's see what will I bring at the end of this, a surprise for everyone or just an another disappointment for my self and my loved ones.

I was in 11th standard when first time I heard about the IAS, one of my friend told me that IAS is most prestigious job profile in India. But at that time I didn't paid much attention and just heard it and forgot for a long period of time. However I was highly inspired by some of officers of that time. But now the only way left in front of me is to prepare for mission 2012 and win the race. It was not very easy for me to land on such a hard decision at this stage of my career. It is not the first time when I thought about civil service as a career option, I was thinking or say fascinated about it from last one year but never dared to know anything more than the recruitment process. Well, I know many will oppose this decision and may ask me to think again over it like a mature mind and work for responsibilities, but I am sorry as I said earlier it's getting late, exactly after one week on 30th July, 2011 I will celebrate my 23rd birthday and if today I can't decide there will be no better day ahead. And also it does not look feasible for me to work on two lines of priority like preparation along with job or entrepreneurship, as it will become hard for me to deliver my best to any.
