I agree with and support your plea. In my experience as an old student and a member of staff some 40 years ago, NIE management even then never looked forward and around to see what was best for their students. I guess they are continuing their favourite'navel gazing' attitude today and forgetting that if they do not move forward with the times, the world will leave them behind as is happening today. Since my student and teaching days, NIE have been producing some of the best engineering students in the country as good students always chose this institution and it has never been due to the effort of the NIE management or their foresight.

Your comment: "Our college students don't get the exposure which other colleges in for example RVCE, PESIT, MSRIT, BMSCE and especially other bangalore colleges get".

I totally agree with you . I knew for example,what pathetic position RVCE was in late 1960s and early 1970s. They had student recruitment problems and staff retention problems then. Many at that time said that RVCE located near Kengeri will close as it was in a bad location and that it was new and cannot compete with institutions like NIE which had a rich heritage etc.. etc.. See how they turned it around? They injected new blood in the management who had vision and drive ( not retired people and others whose vision at best is to keep things ticking as we have seen in NIE for the last 50 years) and across departments.

The NIE management should be inviting the IITs giving venues to conduct the tests or link with them in a way which brings benefits to students. The NIEAA leadership should strongly press them to do this instead of wasting money celebrating jubilies and indulging in mutual admirations of old men when they should be encouraging their young current students who are the future of the country. For once at least the NIEAA should learn from what other institution AAs like the RVCEAA are doing and should do what is right for the current students who will one day become alumni. That is the way to enrich the NIEAA and maximise the alumni loyalty. Otherwise, we will continue to see the sorry situation of many thousands of NIE alumni wanting to forget their institution, most I have met do not want to know or remember that stage of their lives in NIE which did nothing for them when they were students. They ignore NIEAA which has been chasing them for funds. The result is NIEAA has very limited reach and very little influence with alumni in the country and wider world.

Common man .This is old story of nie which the management has been following religiouly.The reach of NIEAA is very limited.Useing few old and famous alumni they want to make big.the problem is we should have a association which is appealing to all.No publication in paper or in print media they have done the alumni function . Is this the way of conducting the event.Bullshit this is..
