Today, classes let off at 2.30PM. But, we(me and my friends from THSS) were busy submitting applications for the new seats allowed for colleges as per the AICTE guidelines. The seats have a much lower tution fees and every college has been allotted with 10% more seats out of which girls and handicapped students have reservations. It was only today, we  came to know about it and I didn’t have any certificates needed with me. So, they told me to submit those tomorrow itself. After all this, I reached home about 4PM.

Today, was my first day at MES college of Engineering, Kuttippuram. There was an orientation program which was to start at 10AM. The program started at the exact time as scheduled and the auditorium was crowded with more than 500 students and their parents. May be its for the first time I participated in such a big event. Many honorable personalities including Principal, Secretary and Head of Departments were present in the meeting. Unlike from AWH, the HOD’s here at MES are much younger. The meeting lasted for about 2 hours and later there were separated meetings for each batches. Totally there were 120 students for CSE and were divided to two batches. I and Krishnaraj are in the ‘A’ batch.

I saw Kishore, one of my classmates at BVB Thirunavaya. He was there for IT and looking for a seat in CSE. From him, I came to know that Jasim, another classmate at BVB is also there. I also saw Vishal, my room mate at the hostel when I was studying for entrance coaching at Trichur. He was for ECE.

24th and 25th were the dates for students, for joining the collages after second allotment. Today morning itself, I and my father went to AWH to buy the TC and certificates. Even before we reached there, they have made everything ready and it took only about 45 mts get back the certificates and the money. After that, we reached MES at about 1.45 PM. I was happy to know that 6 students from our class, including me are there in MES for different courses. The admissions were not as arranged as in AWH and there were many to join for various courses. Krishnaraj and Vivek who reached there at about 8 in the morning, admission procedures were completed only after 2.30PM. My admission was complete almost by 5.30PM. By the time we reached Valanchery, it was raining heavily.
