Dear Seniors, With this erratic monsoon passing by,

and although dengue is reaching epic proportions in Kolkata, it is yet to hamper the ecstatic mood of JU E-Faculty , which is ,as always, filled with an air of upbeat enthusiasm, fun & laughter, little moments of despair and plenty of ‘lyad khawa’.

Central Orientation Program Freshers began classes on 3rd of august. We warmly

welcomed the freshers with a Central Orientation Program organized by FETSU which was held at Gandhi Bhavan on 6th August, a new initiative aimed at interacting with the freshers on a much bigger platform and to encourage them to look beyond their own department and reach out to others.

Dr. Saswati Majumder of Electrical Engineering Department enlightening the freshers with her

generous words

The departmental freshers season began in mid August ; bright new faces in dhuti-punjabis or sarees taking up the stage with a

mix of fear and exuberance, relishing the experience altogether.

It was an exciting day for the freshers at the JU SL campus with student performances, a rocking performance by “Paper Fly” and

summed up by a DJ night…at CIPPUS 2012

Our new Vice Chancellor

Dr. Souvik Bhattacharya, an ex-student of JU Mechanical Engineering Department, a former Dean of IIT-KGP, with very innovative ‘dabis’ like students should not smoke in campus, number of cultural activities should be reduced, a hostelite should go to a bar instead of drinking inside hostel and many more to come…

FRESHERS FOOTBALL

It has been quite a dull fresher's football in terms of quality of the teams and level of performances, still the excitement was full on, helpless goalies digesting all sorts of ‘words of praise’ . However ,at the end, Electrical and Salt Lake-II turned up with impressive performances, as they got the better of Pharmacy and Civil respectively in the semis, and we are looking forward to a classic final between the two teams.

tight music and plenty of head banging

music and took our musical experience to a different level.

REUNION NIGHT : RAGHU DIXIT PROJECT It was all heart and soul for the man wearing dhoti and ‘ghungroo’, as he belted out classic numbers one after the another
