To mark the ‘World Green Day’ on 22nd August, there were quite a lot of activities and events carried out in the city but this event, undertaken by ‘Chaitanya Smruthi’ deserves a special mention for reasons galore. It was initiated and executed solely by the students, with no help from the college management. Let alone ‘help’, the Director of CBIT had to be compelled to grant permission for this event to take place. Despite all these impediments, CS (Chaitanya Smruti) – the student body of CBIT supported by the... Read→
“Yo man, your rents outta town?”, “Man, am stoned!”, “This game is imba”, “You noob!” – Do any of these sentences seem familiar? If one isn’t hanging out with today’s college kids, they might look gibberish. Just one look at today’s college students is enough to know there is a new species evolving; a species with almost no conscience at one extreme and the nerds at the others. In this ever-changing world of the youth, one of the only things that consistently stayed constant over the past few generations is the existence... Read→
The ineffable smell when the first drop of rain falls on mud transports everyone to a new place altogether from where one doesn’t like to come back to this mundane world. It is that time of the year when the drizzle slowly drenches Hyderabadis and makes them desire for more. The dark clouds take over the blue sky and fill some with delight and some with annoyance. “Ah! If only I could stand forever under that rain; or snuggle up inside my home watching the rain, sipping hot coffee. Even better are mom’s hot hot pakodas and bajjis”, says... Read→
A convoy of yellow buses, some sleek, some abnormally long, some that look like they are about to fall to pieces, with names written on strips across them are a common sight on the city roads in the morning and evening. Going by the mundane look of the bus, an onlooker may assume that there is eerie silence behind those sun-film coated windows. But what goes on inside is only known to the people, who travel by these buses.
Colleges in Hyderabad, especially the engineering and medical colleges, are situated mostly in the outskirts of the city. Hence... Read→
An intoxicating smoke hovering all around, dim lit surroundings, a bunch of youngsters trying some ‘smoky stunts’ and sink-in couches beckoning you. If this whole ‘Hare Rama Hare Krishna’ description doesn’t ring any bells, you probably haven’t been to the hipp(i)est places, at present, in Hyderabad – the hookah cafés. The hookah is soon finding its place in the average hyderabadi student’s lifestyle.
The history of the hookah is quite fascinating, which not even many a hookah-lover is aware of. Contrary to the impression... Read→
The very mention of the name CBIT (Chaitanya Bharati Institute of Technology), kindles curiosity in nearly every student in Hyderabad. CBIT is deemed by students all over the state to be the ‘coolest college’, for reasons aplenty. It is not an exaggeration to say that everyone is intrigued by the college and its students. Every CBITian has to field a volley of questions, just weeks after his/her joining the college from their friends, who seem intolerably curious; some of the common questions being, ‘Is CBIT like how it is projected to...

‘Oh! You got into CBIT? Congrats! But beware of ragging there. I’ve heard it’s terrible’, is what most of the freshers get to hear from people. Scenes and stills from the ‘happy days’ movie flash before their minds, adding to their woes. The notion that CBITians are the worst ragged among students of all the engineering colleges in Hyderabad has existed since long. But the management has been striving hard to dispel that notion and provide a very congenial atmosphere for the freshers. How far these efforts have been able... Read→
Did you ever witness a multitude of robots scoring goals on a simulated soccer field? Have you ever seen a simple bot bursting balloons while maneuvering through intricate tracks? How about even witnessing a war of machines coming to life? What if we told you that all you had to do to witness all the action was just to be at MICROCOSM in MGIT on 20th and 21st of March?
Justifying the tagline – ‘A world in miniature’, oodles of spirited students descended to MGIT for Microcosm ’09, a technical fest organized by the ECE dept. of MGIT.... Read→
TECHNOVATION is an annual technical fest, being conducted since 2003 by the Mechatronics(MCT) dept. of MGIT, which holds the distinction of being the first B.Tech. Program to be introduced in Asia. TECHNOVATION ’09 (T9), held on the 13th and 14th of March, 2009 was a very memorable event for both organizers and participants. The efficient team of students, who toiled for days together, deserve a pat on their back for conceptualizing some of the events which were new to most of the people and for taking great pains in organizing them. This deserves... Read→
