Changes in IIT Madras

I am leaving IIT Madras tomorrow. I had my viva last week and so i have been jobless for the last five days. During this time, as i have looked around IIT, and also thought of the time when i first came here almost four years back, i realize that the institution and the campus have gone through a number of changes, some very positive ones and some rather negative ones. Lets list them out.

Positive Changes

1.
The hostels. They were renovated during my third year. We now have tiled floors, an wooden cupboard and newly painted walls. The rooms look much much better than those of IIM Bangalore.

2. The bathrooms were renovated just before we arrived.

3. This is probably the most profound change ... internet access in the rooms. The connections had been set up during the third sem, but we got net access only during our seventh sem.

4. Academic changes. Dual degree students can change their branch.

5. The CS Department has a new building ... and it looks great.

6. The hostel administration has a new office building.

7. There will be no more floods in Mandak.

8. Hostels have air conditioned computer rooms.

9. We don't have a dhobi in the hostel any more ... rather there is a centralized laundry service.

10. The Students Facility Centre has changed. Gurunath has a much better ambience now. The Moon Lab has been replaced by the Archies gift shop and there is an extra phone booth.

11. There are xerox shops at Jamuna and Sarayu also.

12. A new coffee shop in between Sarayu and Sharavati.

13. Reverse Osmosis plants that supply clean drinking water to the hostel zone.

14. The water tower constructed with funds provided by the 1974 batch alumni.

15. An extra floor in Godavari, Jamuna and Ganga.

16. The cell phone towers within the campus.

17. The new look library building ... though i never used it.

18. A common Mega Mess for Sarayu and Sharavati. So male freshies now have the opportunity of being ragged by girls. ;)

19. A new seven storey boys hostel is being built.

Negative changes

1.
Girls are not allowed to the boys' rooms any more.

2. Velachery gate has been closed.

3. A new Mega Mess is being built for the boys' hostel. The hostel messes will be closed and students will have to travel a long way to eat.

4. No more powered vehicles in campus. The rule is being strictly followed.
