  • Let us make a difference this Independence Day

    APJ Abdul Kalam dreamed of Transforming the nation into a developed country, for integrated action to double the growth rate of GDP and realize the Vision of Developed India.” This year we lost the greatest star of our times to heart attack on 27th July 2015. Even though he is not with us in the flesh, let us make sure that he is there with us in our spirits. Let us make sure that when he watches us from the sky on 15th August 2020, he smiles to see his Vision2020 come to reality.

    How do I bring about change? Do you think you are too small to make a difference?
    APJ believed in us when he said I firmly believe that no problem can defeat me; I will become the captain of my problem, defeat the problem and succeed
    If each one of us pledges to contribute our tiniest bit to the development of our mother nation, together we can make a dent in the universe. On this, 69th Independence Day let us all make a commitment to ourselves, no matter how small.
    At Zigsaw, we pledge to always be fair when mapping opportunities to aspirants
    The country does not deserve anything less than success from us.
    Tweet to @ZigsawZindagi with what do you #pledgetodo and what does #TotalIndependence mean to you.
    Together we can, together we will change the world

    “Not everyone is perfect in everything….”

    Many big MNC’s, government organizations have a first-round for recruitment i.e ” Aptitude round ” it just acts like a gate pass to proceed further.

    Getting a gate pass is easy but the real challenge comes in a further round of face to face interviews.
    Here are 5 interview questions that will help you in facing your interview :
    ( First thing to remember is don’t be nervous, keep a smiling face, be confident. the interviewer is not going to beat or eat you. )

    – Your name
    – Where you are from
    – Schooling & college degree in the stream
    – About your family
    – Your positives in a very precise way(hobbies, likes )
    – Your experience

    In a conference that concluded at Abudhabi recently, Al-Qaeda’s board of directors unanimously decided to bring in more diversity in terms of non-muslim recruits. Obviously, MNS & Karni Sena are the happiest. This is taken as a very positive move towards growth and is believed to have been inspired from the Tata’s Diversity & Inclusion initiative. Meanwhile, Patels and Grujars have decided to join hands and asked for an 8.33% reservation in Al-Qaeda. The Al-Qaeda chief also agreed that it would be wise to hire engineers which can come at better ROIs due to widespread unemployment amongst them. Moreover, he also looked positive in raising the 341st round of funding to burn cash faster than some of the biggest names of the Indian start-up sector. He also added that growing religious hatred ahead of the UP and Punjab elections is heralding the Ache Din for its plan to disrupt growth in India.

  • NIT Mizoram

    Hello Everyone…

    I’m Saurav Saha, B.Tech(CSE), NIT Mizoram. Well, before I pen down the insights of my college, National Institute of Technology Mizoram, I’d like to express my deep regards to all well-wishers of mine for giving me this opportunity. It’s a matter of pride, pleasure and fortune to have such a Golden Opportunity of describing one’s College.
    As we all know that NIT Mizoram is one of the new NITs sanctioned by Govt. of India under MHRD in 2010. Being a new NIT it has its share of hardships in the initial stage of its establishment, though the hospitality of the mentor institute VNIT Nagpur can never be forgotten. But the burning question in the mind of any JEE (Main) aspirant, who are unable to make it to other NITs, whether to join any new NIT or any Pvt. Engineering Institute (^_^)? Same did happen with me as well during my time of admission. Well, then I chose the former and never regretted! It is not only that you get the brand value of NIT but also the exposure that matters which you’d lack in a Tier III Engineering College. If you got stuck in such a dilemma, I’d highly recommend you to go for the new NIT due to above-mentioned facilities.
    Bringing to light the pros and cons of new NITs I’d like to add that NIT Mizoram despite the hardships it faced like working on the temporary institute, poor laboratories set-up and shortage of faculty now with the passage of time things have got much better. The permanent campus site has been chosen and acquired, albeit some remaining paperwork. Construction would start soon, and as any NIT, we can expect some state of the art facilities here, amidst the lush green hills and cool winds of this mesmerizing place called Mizoram. Till the completion of permanent campus, the institute settled on having academic classes in a Temporary Campus comprising of 1 Administrative Block, 2 Academic Blocks and 1 Central Library Block plus 4 Hostels(3 Boys 1 Girl) in the Aizawl City.
    The Institutes has managed to get well-set Departmental Labs i.e, CSE Labs, ECE Lab, EEE Lab, ME Lab and Civil Lab (forthcoming). The Hi-speed Internet in the Institute area both through LAN and Wi-Fi, the institute has managed to be in touch of the rest of the World.
    New faculties have been recruited and also to provide better education High-Profile Professors are appointed as External Faculties. From the Academic Session July’14, the Institute is providing B.Tech in CSE, ECE, EEE, ME and CE. Institute has even started a PhD programme from this session. The faculty strength has increased substantially, along with the intake of the institute. The laboratories are better equipped, and the libraries are filled with piles of books as compared to its previous initial stage.
    The most crucial thing in the mind of anyone before joining the Institute is TRAINING and PLACEMENT. The placement scenario of the college is really worth commending. More than 50% per cent of the students have been placed in multinational companies in the pioneer pass out batch (2014). Students have been Intern in almost all respectable companies and Institutes with IIT Madras, IISER Kolkata and PSUs like BHEL, DRDO not as an exception!
    Apart from the hectic schedule all throughout the year, to return the vigour and refreshment, the Institute organizes two fests every year namely:

    • ANUNAAD: the annual Techno-Cultural Fest of NITMz. As the name suggests, it is two days of utter exhilaration and unrestrained fun. The venue is rife all night long with throngs of students enjoying to the hilt.
    • SHAURYA: the annual Sports Fest of NITMz. The platform whooping students from all over to participate and exhibit the Sportsmen inside..!!

    The Institute also has certain clubs for extra-curricular activities which are maintained by the student’s body under the guidance of faculties-in-charge for all-round development. These include:
    S4O(Search for Origin): the Science Club of NITMz which brings together the elite minds of NITMz to understand the source of technical skills(science beyond technology). With the motto “Science of Today is the Technology of Tomorrow” the club organizes seminars, workshops and act to sow the seeds of innovation and creativity into the minds that are not well versed in this arena. S40 organizes MANTHAN(Science Olympiad) in the state of Mizoram coupled with Quiz Competition in all Aizawl to provide a platform for the technocrat to grow.
    DRISHTI-the 3rd EYE: The Photography Club of NITMz. Photography records the gamut of feelings written on a human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited, and the wealth and confusion man has created. It brings a union among persons with the same interest.
    HackerRank Club: The Coding Club of NITMz. It supports all the passionate programmers�Â� by creating a Coding Culture in the Campus. Motto: “It put NIT Mizoram in the global map of Coding”. CODING Events are organized inter college and intra college in association with HackerRank, the ever growing Coding platform.
    NIT Conclave(Mizoram Chapter) : NITMz even participates every year in NIT Conclave, a pan NIT Initiative by “NITIAN”. It’s the platform where student representative of each of the 30 NITs have a meeting where presentations and negotiations are made for a noble cause.
    In addition to these clubs, there are certain societies which are run by the student body (i.e, Students Activity Centre) which plays a vital role in organizing the fests.
    Technical Society of NITMz: Major contribution in Technical Events ofANUNAAD includes imparting knowledge on Artificial Intelligence and Coding domains.
    Cultural Society of NITMz: The heart of ANUNAAD in Cultural Events Organizing besides motivation students for Short Film Making, Documentary presentation etc.
    Sports Society of NITMz:  SHAURYA is organized by the mentioned Society.
    Last but not the least; the Institute publishes its annual Newsletter “InfiNITy“.
    Having said these all, I think it’s a broad and lump sum idea of NIT Mizoram. There are yet more things which can’t be expressed in mere words. Being an NITian it is a humble suggestion for all the fellow JEE aspirant that do consider joining new NITs instead of presuming that new NIT yuck!! Because it does not.
    Thank You all for your time to read this.

  • Internship – The key to success

    12 salient reasons why students should do an internship?

    • How about a few extra bucks adding to your pocket money?

    Doesn’t it feel proud to start earning in your teens, well it definitely does, no matter how much it is? Of course, this is not the foremost reason to follow an internship, but it is the motivating/groundbreaking/triggering thing to get initiated.

    • Why be jobless when you have something interesting, like your passion to work on?

    Yes, an internship is a really good opportunity for students who get a quality time of the academic/curricular activities which go unnoticed when done nothing. Doing an internship not only helps in gaining experience but also improves one’s technical abilities

    • No more getting bored at home

    Holidays usually meant to be spent at home. I agree, but a week is okay but prolonged holidays are boring. Don’t be a caterpillar ever, come out of your cocoon and fly high like a butterfly to your dreams.

    • Gain work experience, technical knowledge, and hands-on experience in practical problems.

    Let’s say, you are someone who always dreams big like, to be an Entrepreneur or a Stock Broker in WallStreet and if you bag an internship to work in Stock Exchange Company, can anything be more amazing?

    • Helps to know the workplace and people around better

    Hear it out; the workplace is not much similar to a classroom, you hardly find people who would let you copy their work. It is the place where you need to invest your own efforts to achieve success and to matter your presence. Unlike in college, the workplace has strict deadlines and real clients involved. Knowing the workplace beforehand and partially understanding life at work will help in planning a better career.

    • Just Experience

    Experience professional Life from dressing to living, everything matters.

    Explore new places, meet new people, befriend, and make memories.

    Internships are like goodies, they are short but sweet.

    • Get a PPO

    An internship is like a coin: One side you can work hard put your best efforts in and bag a PPO(Pre-Placement Offer). Most of the companies prefer to hire interns and turn them into full-timers rather than hiring freshers. On the flip side, internships always pave the way for a better job. They help in building your interpersonal skills, communication skills which will fetch you a full-time opportunity earlier than expected. 

    • Make your resume worthy

    A resume is what speaks for you and about you. The experience of an internship makes your CV more appealing and may win your interview at times.

    • Get back to college and brag about life at work

    Internships are not monotonous or boring. Since they last for only a short duration, you always have the opportunity to go back to college and take time to make a career choice. In the meanwhile, you can brag about the awesome stuff you have done being an intern, which may boost your morale.

    • Earn References & Recommendations

    Not just for future jobs, the references you earn at an internship also help to pursue higher studies

    • Make contacts, Grab an opportunity, and Give it a shot!
    • Before signing off, be confident, and stay strong in what you believe.

  • Tips on being a leader

    “Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things”

    -Peter Drucker

    What exactly makes you a good leader? Do you believe if someone speaks the old age adage that Leaders are born and not made? Why are some many articles published on Leadership? Why so many books? Why so many courses offered?

    Is the topic Leadership that complicated? Who can be a Leader? Who can’t?

    Today I would like to reflect on this topic called Leadership. True leadership is a result of experience, emotion, and evolution. Leadership comes from mistakes, comes from the emotions you lived through, life’s you left, and the strategies that have failed. Though it’s been a tough journey to comprehend the article, here are the top qualities you should possess in order to be a successful leader.

    1. Take the lead

    Good leaders lead from the front, not from the back. Never command people to do something, make a lead, and then let the people follow you. Don’t be the hound, who barks orders at people and assign everything. Hire charge, roll up your arms, stick your hands dirty, and finish off THE MISSION. It helps you establish rapport, feel the difficulty, and builds a good amount of respect among your people.

    2. Be responsible

    Responsibility usually refers to the performance of a duty, making sure it’s happening and it’s happening right. When you are trying to avoid accountability, you not being a good leader. Leadership is taking responsibility not avoiding accountability.

    3.Have a sharp perception

    Learn how people perceive you. All great leaders do. Keeping asking everyone and analyze the feedback you receive. Open, honest communication with everyone can really help most times. Let them speak on your good and bad. Good would let them follow you and bad would help you correct yourself.

    4.Self-Assessment

    Assess your weakness, realize your strengths, do a SWOT (Strength, Weakness, Opportunities, and Threat) analysis, and think about it. Working on the negative areas would improve your leadership abilities and releasing them from time to time would make you more human.

    ZIGSAW is looking out for interns who are willing to be a leader. We are looking out active and self-driven individuals who can communicate, who can motivate their teams, in fact, build teams and take risks. #bezigsawed.

  • The Zigsaw experience: Intern’s Voice

    As the winter gets warm and the year comes to a close, I want to reflect on this term Business Development that my internship experience brought to life. Business Development Internship at Zigsaw is a combination of strategic analysis, marketing, and data research.
    Zigsaw welcomed me with open arms and over the winter I have had the opportunity to broaden my knowledge in a number of business concepts. The internship helped me prove that I was ready for a leadership role and pushed me on entering the business consulting sector due to the vast skill set I acquired. This intern was definitely a great experience where I learned how to grow a business.
    My passion for business development was unveiled. I have a point here, We all have goals, dreams, ambitions, and passion. There will be bumps in the road that attempt to hinder us away from our goal. Nevertheless, we must remain committed, follow our passion, and let life lead us as it may. I love my work here. I received many backlashes from friends and family for moving to Udaipur this winter, but I felt I had to earn the decision for me. When your passion runs parallel with ambition, be quick to tag it by whole means.
    Zigsaw gave me one of a kind experience, I was well compensated for my time spent. In real terms, I was more than recompensed by the experience I gained, bylines I have earned and the connection I created. It afforded me a chance to prove myself worthy to my future employers. Vaibhav of Zigsaw made it imperative that I took in all my succinct requirements, so as to avoid any confusion at work.
    Holding away the work part of it, I definitely was moved by the exciting part of Zigsaw.
    Of all the plethora of events spread, my birthday was the best. Everyone here made sure, I was surprised. The weekend trips, the bowling sprees, the big lunch breaks, the awesome friends I made here, and all the Bhindi Masala jokes make it unbelievable that my internship is already wrapping up. I believe it Zigsaw-s into the old adage, Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life. I barely passed any time here in Udaipur but every day I spent is going to be an awesome memory.
    Every day I arrive, learn something, earn some skill, drop some lines, make some jokes, and apprehend a deeper understanding of what business development means.
    Never did a day go slow, never did I look behind.
