A candle march was there in NIT, Jalandhar this evening to pray for the peace of the deceased soul of Anand Pathak, a 3rd-year mechanical student of NIT, Surathkal who jumped off from the sixth floor of a building. According to the sources, the student was not allowed to sit in the exams because of a shortage of attendance. His attendance was 73% and the attendance criteria of most undergrad are 75%. This is very saddening that a student had to end his life because he couldn't meet the attendance foundation,  and at the same time didn't receive any relaxation from the authorities.

CSE 3rd seniors hosted a workshop on open source systems on Saturday (29/9/19). The workshop, meant for 2nd-year students (mainly of ECE and CSE branches), attempted to teach  the juniors a bit about how open-source platforms worked. It also provided some basic information on GitHub, and also answered questions of GSoC(Google Summer of Code).  This marks another step in a great initiative taken by the third year seniors. This marks the latest of a string of workshops h osted by the seniors. They've provided much-needed information to juniors regarding numerous topics such as competitive coding, open-source platforms, internships etc. Such initiatives help juniors become better programmers, and also helps in their placements. This is extremely vital as the coding culture in our college isn't the best, and a lot of juniors simply lack the knowledge. They don't know much about the field,  and thus don't know how to improve, and what things to focus on. This initiative fr...

NIT Jalandhar is home to many students pursuing different fields. Our students always strive towards perfection, and try their best. One such student has recently done something amazing.  Mr. K. Prasanth Kumar, a post graduate student in our college, has designed an intelligent multi-tasking robot. What makes the robot even more amazing? It is based on Origami. The robot contains special wheels that are based on Origami, and are made from plastic and cloth. They require no pre ssure to function, and also allow the robot to traverse muddy terrain. The robot can also flatten itself to just an inch thick, and widen up to four inches thick thanks to the wheels. It took Prasanth around six months to completely design and implement this project.The robot can be used to perform many activities such as: surveillance in emergency situations which may contain debris (such as earthquakes), agricultural applications, and even space related applications. Here is what Dr. K. S. Nagla, the head ...

"Theatre is like a mirror, a sharp reflection of society."     It's not just about portraying something amazing in front of the audience, but it is also about showing the people a mirror of the real world and how we, the youth of this nation, can bring about a change.

The street play was performed in various colleges including NIT Jaipur, PU Hoshiarpur, and NIT Jala ndhar and many more. The main motive behind the NUKKAD was to create awareness about the importance of sex education among the people. The Nukkad was the hard work of all the team members but the mastermind behind this beautiful piece of art was *Abhishek Rawat* Recently, this Nukkad was performed 8th time ( Most number of shows of any Nukkad in the history of NITJ ) in a Street Play festival organized by YUVAA Theatre Group in Hansraj Mahila Maha Vidyalaya, which where the performer...

It’s midnight, and you’re hungry.  You haven’t saved up any food, and nobody has any food.  What does an NITJ student do at this point?  Order from the “Night Food Court” ofcourse!  It is one of the latest services being provided by the creators of Food Pixel.  In light of this development, we have decided to interview the creators of Food Pixel to get to know them, and the thought process behind their ideas better: Food Pixel was created around 9nd March, 2018 by two students of NITJ.  Ghansham from Chemical Department (Final year), and Shubham from Biotech (Final year).  The interview went something like this:  Correspondent: Can you describe exactly what you are doing? Ghasham:  Our main service is food providing, and our main target is on colleges.  We are not limited to NITJ, either.  We think there are only one or two major restaurants near/in each college, and they charge high amounts and give less quality.  So...
