Well, I passed out in January 2007 (Electronic Engineering department - batch strength 140 students) and no one from my batch gave the GRE exam during their final year. Though many of my classmates are preparing for it now.

However, for the batch that is in the fibnal year currently, around 10 students have given their GRE. The major reason for this was the ETS Announcement that they were going to change the GRE pattern in September..which was why so many students got registered for GRE and started preparing for it as soon as they gave their third year exams.

They were too afraid of some new GRE pattern...however, as soon as the news came out that GRE pattern was not going to be changed many cancelled their registration. Still, around 10 have given the GRE this year, and are applying for MS in various american and canadian universities...

Most of them face problem in writing SOPs (most of the students have never written any 'original' piece of writing in their entire academic life!!) and another problem is getting Letter of Recommendation...b/c we only have one PhD person in the Electronic department...and he doesn't teach any course in Electronics, so he doesn't write any LORs either...the students usually have to get their LORs from faculty members who are only B.E. or M.S. (from NED)...which they believe would leave a bad impression on the admission officers.

There is another group titled "GRE Preparation", check it for some cool resources

in my view the best we can do for NED is to help students adn to give assistance to students in their education.

Please be clear on what you mean by "help students". Helping students could mean money, books, coaching etc. Please be specific on what you want.

I have upated the selection criteria and increased it to 4 students. Is it possible for you to post this " Free GRE tests for 4 students" information so that the third and final year students can benefit. Your help will be appreciated. Thanks

I think all of us realize the importance of having a strong alumni and now we should strive make it so strong so that it has some sort of influence over the mgmt and admin of the university.
Time and again when individuals have tried to contact the administration to point out some bad practice or offer some advice, they have be cooly turned away. This should be one of the aspects of such an alumni.
