Migration Certificate

The application form can be found here.

For those of you who have taken up higher studies, I'm sure you might have received requests from the administration for something called the Migration Certificate authorizing the transfer of your awesome talents from your alma mater to your current institute of study.

Summary of Procedure:

1. You need a photocopy of either your:

• Provisional Degree Certificate ("PDC")
  
  
  
  or
• marks cards of all semesters

Submit photocopies of these along with filled-out application form and DD shown above to the University either in person or via post.

2. Demand Draft of Rs 250/- made out to 'Finance Officer, VTU' payable at Belgaum) if from a domestic university or Rs. 1,000/- if foreign university.

3. And you also need to get the form and PDC attested with the signature of the Head of the Institution where you studied under VTU.

4. This is the step I'm a bit confused about. Should one submit their application to the institution where they previously studied for sign off from the Head or can they directly send it on to VTU?

If somebody could clarify this step, it would most helpful!

Who thought that a message about a website of a certain company that was down for maintainence would start a fiesty discussion that lasted nearly an hour and had all participants rubbing the sleep from their eyes and crawling in 50 messages deep to join the conversation. I most certainly had a lot of fun.

While I can't speak for the others. I'm sure they were tempted to report the discussion as spam (see picture). While I was working very hard to deliver content suited for the purposes of enlightenment and entertainment, there were others who were mostly trying to game the discussion and draw attention to their meaningless drivel.

125+ messages later, we're now getting complaints from people whose inboxes are now overflowing. Follow this link to adjust your subscription settings for the group. You may turn off the receipt of individual messages if you want from now on. But I recommend that you keep it where it is, for better reachability.

Dear Email Haters, should I be sorry? Should I?

The Day

Dearest 8th sem IS ,

There's nothing much to write in here ....except that I'm using this space to let us know that today (12/05/09) was the last day we sat together as a class .

It reminds me of this scene in Titanic when the ship is sinking ....These band guys perform for one last time and then the violinist looks at them and says ,"It was a pleasure playing with you...."(or something like that...!)

I kinda have the same feeling going through me... one can mock me saying ,"Stop with the sentiment anne !...." .

You can call me stupid or sentimental or just another idiot ...

Hey ! But the feeling is true !

didn't get to know most of you ...But let me confess ...I did try my best to reach to the position of saying atleast a " Hi ! " when I saw you in the corridor or at the canteen or at the water filter ;)

I thank each one of you for all the things you've taught me : Either be it tryin to get all courageous to mass bunk or laugh at any silly joke or not judging people before getting to know them or smiling with the heart or just being helpful !

I shall carry alot more things with me ,than mentioned above !

Everyone ,in some way or the other, in a big way and in small, has contributed to making me the person I am .

I am humbled .

I whole heartedly thank all those who came up with this "Wonder-La" plan...Personally it helped break a lot of barriers . I wish we could have spent more time together in another place besides class .....It surely would've made a lot of difference .

I'm sure where there's a will there's a way.....

Twenty years from now when I look at pictures of today....I maynot remember your names ....But I'll surely remember the kind of person you were...

Thank you for being such a wonderful class ....

I've had some of the best times with you !

My Oath:

20 years later no matter what position you or I would've reached....If I come across a situation wherein I'd see you ,slim and trim,or plum with a pretty pot belly,or a cute paunch,and grey hair,and kinda recognisable.....jogging through Lal Bagh with your little ones ,on the other side of the road.....I'll still come over and say a Hi !.....and then we'll talk over a coffee....!

Loads of love and hugs,

Yours sincerely,

Anne...or Annai...or AAne(the elephant !)
