MAIT program: Update 2

Dear All

At the end of 2007, I take the opportunity to give you all a brief update on the MAIT program.

We have got off to a good steady start and have generated strong interest among the students at college. Around 8 students (month of Nov-Dec) from college have registered and many more have shown enthusiasm in registering. The number is low due to ongoing viva and theory examinations in the college. We expect many more students to register in the month of Jan-Feb 2008. Around 30 mentors from the alumni group have also registered till now.

We have decided to extend the registration period for mentors till 15/02/2008. If you want to register, please send me a mail (tdr2@hotmail.com) and include your gmail/orkut ID in it. I need to give you permission to access the spreadsheet. You can then follow this link (http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pL5tgpTtxAO2R1FiV4JC9YA&hl=en&pli=1) and update your details in the spreadsheet. I would strongly reccommend the MAIT program to the alumni members.

A major drawback in the program is that no lady mentor from the alumni group has shown interest or has registered to take part in MAIT. Could I kindly request the ladies to give a serious thought to the MAIT program. Your experiences and exposure in the corporate/public sector/army worlds would be give the students in college a very different perspective to life.

A presentation to the students at AIT on the details for the MAIT program will be given by Rishi Tiwari (Mech 2001) at college. The date for the presentation needs to be confirmed and it will most probably be in middle Jan 2008, as the students in college have their exams now. I would strongly suggest that alumni based in PUNE, who are interested or would like to know more about MAIT, to attend the presentation.

Thanks are due to the mentors and students who have registered for their enthusiasm and support.

Please do not hesitate to give me a mail if you require further info on the MAIT program. Could I also request the alumni members to give wide publicity to the MAIT program. If possible, please forward this message to other alumni egroups etc.

Hoping for wider participation in MAIT from the alumni and student community.
