Symptoms of H1N1 Flu (Swine Flu)

The look on his face is gloomy. The feeling is contagious and the within no time the entire group of friends feels the same. Everyone in the group is more or less the same, aspiring post-graduates, same group, perhaps even the same class or specialization but for one difference. A few get placed early on and the remaining will too sooner or later get placed. No wonder those who miss getting placed by a whisker feel depressed. But is it a big deal?

The University of Pune in collaboration with Queen Mary's Technical Institute (QMTI) will now offer a one year diploma course in management, "Diploma in Industrial Administration and Service Management" for disabled soldiers, ex-servicemen Personnel Below Office Rank (PBOR) and their dependents.

The Raison d'etre behind this course is the employability of disabled soldiers, ex-servicemen and their dependents in the current market environment should increase manifold. This course will help to change the mindsets of the military men to civil working life. This course shall ensure them suitable jobs in many sectors e.g. Security,
management, retail management, banking and insurance services.

We participated at an inter-college event organized by CMRD
college in Feb.'08. We did the fashion show & won it. This is the

We are putting this quick tour of Pumba Campus for all those who want
to see what the new campus looks like. Esp. students who are
considering to study at Pumba.

This is also for our alumni who are flung far & wide across the
world - this will give you a chance to see the new campus right from
your chair.

PUMBAites have a huge appetite, so when it is time for a sumptuous lunch we are the first to queue up, and if the lunch is held just once every year it becomes all the more tempting. But on that auspicious day it was not just food for the stomach but food for the mind and soul too. On Saturday, 5th January, 8:30 am onwards, Le Meridein at Pune, witnessed the convergence of professionals from industry and academia - Vision 2020, a National Seminar organized by PUMBA.

Mr. Ranjan Ghate, alumnus of '99 batch & '03 batch, visited PUMBA on 4th January 2008 & had an interactive session with the seniors & juniors ('08 & '09 batch).

He discussed deeply about the IT industry, the career path in it, the scene outside India as he has worked almost in every major geography in the world.

Mr. Ghate, who did his MBA Marketing in '99, came back in '01 for his MBA in Systems & graduated out in '03. He has worked with Satyam on various projects with clients like Microsoft, Nissan, etc.
