    Passion is a Graphic Designer’s Inspiration
    To make it interesting let’s have a Q.A format.
    What is a Graphics Design?
    Graphics Design is an art planning and projecting ideas in the form of visual and textual content. It primarily includes designing posters, logos, brochures, banners, memes, comics, etc.
    What are the tools of Graphics Design?
    The standard tools of graphics design include Adobe Photoshop, illustrator, after effects, etc. but this software is quite expensive unless you have pirated ones. But don’t worry, there are open source clones like Gimp, Scribus, Inkspace which are more than enough for beginners. But remember you need a pen and a sketchpad to plan before you start designing.
    How to become a successful graphics designer?
    Here I would like to share another quote with you Design is intelligence made visible This quote actually defines graphics design. The ability to present your visualization and imagination in a graphical way is the foundation of graphic design. Secondly, your design must be visually appealing, attractive, and lucrative. To ensure this you see whether your design conveys the information, whether your design has the appropriate color combination and contrast, whether your words are visible or not, whether your images are getting pixelized or not. As it is said, Too many cooks spoil the broth keep in mind that too many colors and visual effects ruin your design. Obviously no design is perfect, so an almost perfect design needs a thorough inspection of every corner of your design. Here we see that patience is one more skill that a good graphics designer should possess. Don’t blindly follow trends and copy the ideas from the existing designs, this might leave some great ideas from your quiver.
    What if people don’t like my design?
    Sometimes it is possible that to save yourself from criticism, you try to make defensive designs, this habit generally backfires, and your design doesn’t appeal to people. In my personal opinion if you have a chance to create something extra-ordinary, why be satisfied with the ordinary design. Let your design be exposed to ideas, let it undergo all experiments and after all, it is not necessary that if some people don’t like your design others won’t like it too. Have confidence in your work and keep practicing, because behind every successful graphics designer there are many sleepless nights of hard work. A simple hack I would like to share, before finally launching your design, show it to your friends, if they like it then well and good, if not then try something else or improve the same.
    What if I find graphics design boring?
    Don’t design for the sake of designing, do it because you love it. Design is a passion not a burden, designers while designing tend to become insensate having nothing to do with the physical world. They don’t even know about the time despite it being in the bottom right corner of their laptops.
    What is my future in graphics designing?
    Designers can find themselves with a no of titles. They can design for a start-up, helping them in advertisement, social media, logo etc. You can work at freelance doing work on contract basis. You can later become the chief designer or the design head at senior positions in a company.
    Finally, I would like to conclude with the line – Design because you love to!

    Zigsaw-Internship-Festival-content-writing-interns

    Content writers are professional writers who produce engaging content for use over the internet. Content writers produce the content for many different types of websites including blogs, social networks, e-commerce sites, news aggregators, etc.
    Every website has a specific target audience &requires different types of content. The content should contain words that help attract as well as retain users on the website.
    For being successful, content writers must master different writing styles. The reason for this is that each form of writing has its own style. Blogging is often opinion-oriented &personable while an Ad-copy is short &persuasive. For being able to cater to different requirements, content writers must possess a mastery of different writing skills.
    For being successful in content writing one must be original. Each &every article or post bearing your name must be original. Being original helps one bring a unique voice, a different perspective, or throw new light on some overworked subject. Plagiarized content puts your career & the reputation of your client /employer in jeopardy.
    The key to success is to keep yours to keep your content valuable and relevant while ensuring that it is concise and to the point. Also checking and rechecking for grammar & spelling errors is very important. Nothing looks more unprofessional than a website having grammar & spelling errors.
    Follow an inverted pyramid method i.e. put your conclusion at the beginning of your content & work backward from there. This puts your most important information front &center.
    Use a conversational tone to connect with your audience and avoid using marketing and technical jargon as far as possible. This is essential for connecting with your audience in a better manner and help to engage them with your content.
    Use relevant images to complement the text and enhance the visual appearance for your content.
    Always remember nothing engages your audience than high-quality original content with a unique perspective.
    So folks put your thinking caps on & get going in your quest to be successful content writers.

    Swim-across-internship-before-you-job

    In the present era if we talk about internships; they are not just a matter of choice but somehow they are becoming an integral part of the academic curriculum. Because getting a degree is going to help one get a job. But getting internships is going make one stand out of the crowd. And who doesn’t want to become an outstanding candidate? So let’s begin with the root question that why is internship necessary. Imagine a scenario where one is taught all about swimming and never allowed to practice it. What happens in such a situation when one is directly exposed to swim in the sea? Either of the two things is going to happen- a.) Start with baby steps, practice at the shore, and then when one feels that he/she is ready to explore the depth of sea they should swim till the farthest they can reach. b.) Dive straightaway in the sea. If the waves favor one will get through else signal for the lifeboat and quit it.
    Evaluating both the situations it can be seen that the former situation demands a great amount of time whereas the latter one kind of shatters our hope. Neither of them is giving an optimized solution. Now just rewind the situation and consider that while being taught about swimming one is timely exposed to pools for a short duration of time to implement all that one has been taught. By doing this one can avoid the risk of taking baby steps as well as need to call the lifeboat.
    Internships are the small pools that can help one to survive the sea of full-time jobs.
    The example stated would have made it very clear that what is the evidence of internship in the contemporary world. Apart from it, a few more benefits that it can provide areas-
    * An edge over all the peers.
    * An impressive resume.
    * Exposure to the real-world scenario
    * Familiarity with the corporate culture
    * A sense of the kind of future one wants for oneself.
    * Providing a better view of the future requirements.
    These are a few of the many benefits which can be sought from internships. Else for the right candidate ‘sky is the limit’.
    Looking for meaningful internships?
    We have created 3 NO SPAM group where Start-ups can post their internship requirements and where Students can connect to Internships of their Choice

    How would an intern benefit from his internship in a start-up?
    You feel important
    Decide if the start-up world is for you
    Paid internships provide for your pocket money
    A comparatively young team would foster an encouraging, challenging and friendly work culture
    Learning would be Phenomenal
    Build Relationships & not just network
    Exposure
    Get a PPO
    So, connect with your interns’ superheroes.

    Women in India will never be equal to men

    Hello Ma’am, we liked your profile and you have been selected for the XYZ internship you had applied ohhh!!!! That’s great, so how do we proceed now
    We have arranged everything for you at the location when will you be able to join us?
    oh no!!! I am afraid I can’t relocate. I won’t get the permission.
    And this is how one more dream came to dust. Sincerely, girls, I hope all of the feminine society could relate to this. There have always been issues family issues, relocation issues, security issues, etc keeping you away from the job you have always dreamt of and always worked hard for. And why is that? Because you have not been in charge of what you want. Always there has to be a compromise for one or the other reason. Ladies, time for you to take charge. Time for you to decide what you want, what you want to become, where you won’t go in life. It is a well talked about a topic where equality of genders is firmly advocated by all. But how well is it being worked upon? By doing some protest? By following some videos? Or by any other stunt which catches the attention of social media but has nothing on you? SO here is what Indian men have to tell you. An open letter-
    Dear Girls,
    We have been unfair to you, since forever. But have you ever thought why? Because you gave someone else the charge to look after you, to take decisions on your behalf. It is going to sound so Gandhi but Be the change you want to see.

    It is well said that we should respect girls. On the other hand, it is also true that respect is to be earned. We are not saying that you don’t deserve it, you deserve all the respect and love in this world. It’s just the time to take a stand for it. Don’t accept what you don’t want and don’t let go of what you really want. Take your own call, take your responsibility, and remember this does not come under the category of defying or disobeying anybody. In the end, we only regret the chances we did not take. Don’t regret ladies. Just Don’t.
    Yours truly,
    Indian Men.

    Al-qaeda-recruiting-engineers

    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. This is taken as a very positive move towards growth and is suspected to have been inspired by 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 341th round of funding to burn cash faster than some of the biggest names of the Indian start-up sector. He also added that Lalu’s win in Bihar is heralding the Ache Din for its plan to disrupt growth in India.

    In line with their aggressive hiring plans to push projects, they have decided to partner with an exponentially growing recruitment start-up in India: Zigsaw. Also, note that you can also refer this opportunity to a friend/family and win a referral incentive of 5k on successful referrals.
    Business Development Manager: Coordination with ground forces to understand their requirement and communicate the same to the Engineering Division. Also, to capture continuous feedback from existing territories of dominance and ensure sustainable growth. To also be on the constant look-out for growth avenues
    Content Writer: Ability to write hate speeches for Owasi & other patriots to bring down the growth rate of the country. update the content on the Website and blog regularly to up the Alexa ratings
    Engineers: Enhance the auto-pilot mode for ZT-291s and help in the design of Zugara tanks. Also to take ownership of enhancements and provide for the automation of SR-257s as per customer feedback.
    Compensation: Basic: 18LPA Target based incentives (No Bar for the right candidate)
    About our Work-culture: We are a very young team with dreams. We are a flat organization and fresh ideas of destruction are always welcome. Although, we are a target driven workforce; we provide flexibility in terms of cross-functional deputation to help in the all-round development of individuals. Emotions are at the core of our operations and we provide for an annual family (all expenses paid) foreign trip to a location of our choice in the Middle-east.
    An experience to have worked in the cultural team of your College fests would be a huge plus. This helps us to utilize your expertise for creating non-required protests and bringing national growth at our mercy. If you have to lead a team of blind followers based on caste, geography, demography or language, Search no more !!

    Go BIG this winter

    Hey there, Greetings from Zigsaw
    So, you would have read through a lot of articles that stress how can Interns bring value to your organization. How exactly?
    Where can interns help you?

    • Lead Generation Interns: An average intern can generate 40 leads( estimating conservatively at 2 leads/day) for you. Even if this translates to a 10% conversion ratio, each intern can add a clientele of 4 customers to your bouquet
    • Social Media Intern: A social media savvy person will not only give a boost to your Facebook, Twitter, and Linkedin campaigns but will also create original content which can do wonders to your Blog
    • SEO Intern: I don’t need to explain this, right? The only question I would ask is what is your Alexa Ranking target?
    • MIS Interns: In 21st-century data is abundant, the organization is difficult. I would assume if somebody can handle the side projects; the efficiency of your team can go up by 20%. Do you think it would be worth it?
    • Sales & Operations: You would be the best person to estimate this depending on the nature of your business and your target segment. I would assume if your current team size is 5; 3 interns can increase your operations by 20%. Do you think it would be worth a shot?

    So, how fast would you like to grow in December? Write to us at vaibhav@zigsaw.in and we would like to be a part of your growth journey.
    Okay, convinced. But how can Zigsaw help us with the Interns?

    • We are running an internship campaign for Winter
    • We currently have 17 partners onboard
    • We currently 4 college placement committees onboard.

    What is this campaign about?

    • We are connecting Start-ups with their best-fit interns
    • This service is FREE

    How would start-ups benefit from this?

    • Create momentum in sales
    • Get a Beta ready for testing/market research
    • Create a database of Potential Customers
    • Give your Social Media the outreach
    • They can test drive the talent before they actually make a hiring decision
    • Interns bring a fresh perspective to your faith (the idea)

    All these advantages at

    • Almost no cost as the major concern for Interns is the learning Curve.
    • A minimum commitment of 1 month. This usually gives Start-ups the comfort to work with them as against when they are required to work with Full-time employees

    Why are we doing this?

    • To kickstart our relationship with Start-ups and mesmerize you with the brand Zigsaw
    • We intend to create value for Start-ups

    Yes, yes we would want to go BIG this winter. What do you need from our end for this to go through?
    The confidence to make the hiring decision on your behalf. This is required as it is usually a concern for Placement Committees that 3rd parties cannot offer to join letter on the spot and we would want it to be a Win-Win situation for Placement Committees as well.
    And if you are a student seeking intern, write to us at internships@zigsaw.in or register here
    Do let me know your views on this Campaign. #ZigsawZindagi

    Way forward for Zigsaw (Recruitment, Intern mapping and Test Algorithm)

    2 weeks back, I was scared. Scared to leave my job which paid me on the 28th of every month. A week into Zigsaw, things look different and the whole credit goes to my team
    Let me introduce them to you

    • Srishti: Do you have any idea how many recruitments opening a single person can handle. Meet Srishti, who has handled 8 clients ALONE. She is funny and confused at the same time, but not when it comes to closing positions. With 3 premium(12LPA) openings with us right now, I am sure she is the best person to handle this.
    • Devkaran: He will show you card-tricks and surprise you every time. He can talk to a person at 3:25 and schedule his interview at 03:30
    • Shubham: The superman who does things faster than the rest of us would ever be able to
    • Toshendra: He is our Chief momentum officer who helps us create waves with the Jobseekers
    • Anmol: He brings business and I am not sure what we would do without him

    I am loving the energy here in Udaipur. It is not that the fear is gone but the confidence that my team would pick me up If I were to fall tomorrow.

    Way-forward for us

    • Internship Tsunami: Devkaran. In our first year (April 2014 to May 2015), we had worked only with interns. I repeat, there were no permanent employees for the first year at Zigsaw(except August-September 2014 when we had Rajpal). I have experienced how resourceful interns can be. Also, it makes no sense to get industry veterans and pay them heftily when things are taking shape. Start-ups are about creating entropy in a tight budget. An intern can be resourceful when you would want to see an inflection in your Sales, Social Media Reach, and Google Rankings; Your core team can take it forward from there. If you are looking for Winter interns, reach out to us at support@zigsaw.in
    • Srishti would handle recruitments. Everything from sourcing, screening, and coordination would be her headache. She should have teammates in December
    • Portal: Vaibhav. There are many things that can go into this to make it intuitive & smarter. I am not saying we have reached our Eureka moment; but that we are trying and trying harder every next time. We would like to understand what is that 1 thing which when included in screening applications would change the face of Recruitment forever. We are waiting for Apple to fall.
    • Game: Vaibhav. Now, this is something people have tried time and again. We are just believing that recruitment if played with the spirit of Clash of Clans could change the way we look at recruitment.
    • Test: I think this is what you would be waiting for. After 3 beta versions, we roll out another. We are calling it for the same reason why some companies still prefer being called start-ups. It is because we believe that there is always further we can go with the Test algorithm and are open to discussions with experts about the scoring pattern. This would be a CAT preparatory adaptive test series of 3 Open Tests and we intend to cover 500 applicants through this test series.

    @Team: Have I told you how good it feels when I’m with you? I feel home

    Recruitment Industry have their super-heroes now

    Google search of Challenges Recruitment Industry returns about 36,10,000 results

    • Job Portals like Naukri, Monster, etc. have been there for quite some time but they would never promise a successful hire
    • Recruitment Consultancies like Sutra HR & Hiring Monk have a success ratio of 60% and a cycle time of 30 days.
    • An average of 14.4 interviews is taken before an offer is rolled out. In 23% of the cases, the candidate does not join despite having been selected.

    Why is this big
    India’s GDP is estimated to grow by 7%. NASSCOM estimates that 3100 startups are present in India which is the 3rd largest base in the world. We are growing at 800 startups setting up annually. It believes that there would be 11500 startups employing over 250k people by 2020. At an average of 25,000 pm (for startups), this translates to a 62 crore industry assuming just 10% of people switch per year which is quite realistic keeping in mind the short employee life cycle in start-ups. There are no major players in this domain and is a rather untapped market
    Who am I?
    I am Vaibhav Chouhan, a graduate from IIT Guwahati(2012). Before this, I was working in the HR Dept. of Tata Power. I have worked on the idea of Zigsaw from the last 2 years, bootstrapping it every time. We started with the idea of adaptive assessments but have also moved into the “Art of Recruiting”
    What do I have in for you?

    A plan

    • To reduce the cycle time of recruitment to 10 days(without the notice period) including search, selection & offer
    • To facilitate the easy search of relevant candidates for Job providers
    • For Valid and reliable skill analysis
    • To facilitate informed decisions for Jobseekers
    • For reliable & relevant Job references
    • For flagging the highly professional ones(and the opposites)

    So, what do I ask

    • A team of 15 people
    • 3 developers (PHP)
    • 1 designer
    • 2 UI developers
    • 3 Business Operations
    • 5 SME for specific Job profiles
    • 1 Psychometric Specialist
    • A time of 1 year
    • Funding of 25 L
    • �Â� Why should you trust me?
      I have been experiencing recruitment(as a consultant and as an employer) for the last 1 year. Connect with me at vaibhav@zigsaw.in and let’s discuss this over.
      Want proof?
      Watch us disrupt the internship business this winter.
      If you can offer either of the things I am looking for, I would love to get in touch with you.
      Note: If you are a start-up and would like to work with winter interns(1 month) from IITs & NITs, get in touch with us at srishti@zigsaw.in

    Zigsaw launches its own Job-portal

    Hi friends,
    This year summer when we were working in the internship mapping domain, 2 management trainees from TAPMI strongly recommended that we need to have our own portal if we were to do intern mapping or recruitment seriously. That was May 2015. Here, in October 2015 we go LIVE with the portal of our own: Zigzobs.com
    So, how does it work?

    Paying upfront to Placement Consultancies

    Background Story: We are a placement consultancy & are always eager to partner with other recruitment firms to form business alliances which pose a win-win relationship for both of us. In this journey of ours to partner with other recruitment firms, we came across another recruitment firm. Let’s call this firm HM. We approached HM with our requirement for a specific Job Opening & they agreed to work together. Their terms were to pay upfront & we did so.

    • Apart from being there on their website, Ateeq (Co-founder of HM) had confirmed on email about the refund/replacement clause
    • The payment was made on 30th April and the same was confirmed on 1st May. The first batch was only received on 14th May
    • The candidates whose resumes were shared on 14th May had no idea about the Job Opening they had been shortlisted for
    • 15th May the partnership was called off; HM decided to process a replacement (and no refund)
    • Another Profile was shared for which we were supposed to receive a batch of candidates on 19th June which did not come and hence I wrote a mail on 24th June to the HM team about the delays from their end.
    • I get a batch of 3 candidates from them. Unsurprisingly, they had no idea about the Job- Profile, again. This time, we decided to take a stand and ask for a refund.
    • The refund was not processed. We were convinced of another replacement (and not refund) for which the JD was shared on 21st July. I talked with Ateeq on 27th July. He said he was busy and would call me back in 5 minutes. When no call/mail was received in the next 3 days, I decided to call it off. I had somehow believed that the amount would be refunded, it was not.
    • Co-founder cell was tried twice, went unanswered both the times. Finally, another mail was written on 15th Still no replies. Mail was sent to 7 IDs of HM(including the founders, co-founders, accounts, relationship managers). Still no replies.
    • Called on the co-founders’ number twice, still no response.
    • Another mail was sent on 25th Sept., still no response

    Although a hire was guaranteed at the start by HM, they failed thrice. Of course, my money which should have been refunded is still with them & I don’t see them refunding it. But every failure teaches you something and here are my 2 cents for choosing a hiring Partner

    • If you are more concerned about the aspirant quality, never choose a company that boasts about the lower price it charges. James Goldsmith once said, “If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys.”
    • Understand, that nobody can ever guarantee a successful hire. Even the best companies have a hit ratio of 70-80%. Trust the companies that paint a realistic picture and give you a statistic for your successful hire. You can always trust the mathematicians.

    About the company we are talking about: Their Home-page reads

    Hire Handpicked Talent in 30 days, Guaranteed. They refer to themselves as Start-up Superstars. They charged upfront & never paid back for the unsuccessful hire. I think this company is non-functional now.
    P.S.: The name of the firm has not been intentionally mentioned for it may seem like we are taking on a competitor.
    P.P.S.: In case, somebody wants a proof of what we are saying, feel free to get in touch with me at vaibhav@zigsaw.in
    The blog posts officially end here but where you find out what Zigsaw offers differently from its competitors, read on

    • We charge 7 days after the selected candidate joins. You pay ONLY IF the candidate is selected & ONLY IF he joins.
    • We have a cycle time of 15 days which is a huge advantage for companies that have an urgent requirement. Also, this is an advantage over our competitors who usually offer a 30 day cycle time.
    • We conduct the first round of screening ourselves, hence considerably reducing the effort & time you have to put in.

    Avoid the divorce

    What makes Google, Google?
    What makes Apple, Apple?
    It is usually the people, there. Hiring the right talent is important, but firing the misfits is also equally important. Particularly startups, as they cannot afford to work with anyone who is anyone less than a rock-star. A wrong hire not only eats away through your resources but also affects the morale of the whole team. Firing someone is never an easy task. It is like letting go a piece of your heart. It is like taking a divorce. Imagine this. You decided to settle down in life and hence began your search to find the perfect groom. You came across prospective seekers and examined them very carefully. There was this 1 person who stood out. You liked him from the very start. He checked all the points on your Dream Boy category. He was also equally enthusiastic about being together. Your parents did a background check and did not find anything to be worried about. You are sure he would be your soul-mate for life. He was the perfect match. You decide to tie the knot with him.
    6 months into the relationship you realized that your initial assessment was wrong. You have made the wrong hire. In the next 6 months, you try to make it right. You discuss it with him about your expectations of him & what support can he seek from you. You try and motivate him, inspire him, provided the more than usual support, prepare an action plan but the relationship does not seem to improve.
    You have 2 options now

    • Continuing with the mediocre, no matter if it is a liability
    • Accepting that you made a mistake and moving on. Most people find it really difficult to accept that they made the wrong hire. It takes a lot of courage. There is going to be resistance but you have to face it in its face because that is the right thing to do. You should definitely try to make it work but it should not be at the cost of your success.

    Obviously, it would be the latter one. Finding a soul-mate is difficult; letting them go is even more difficult. It is like breaking away with someone; just that you do not have time to feel sad about it. You mean business and it needs to be done, no matter what.
    Let us admit, hiring the best-fits is not easy. Usually, core teams like to focus on product development and hiring can sometimes be a tiresome activity. You can always go with the brute-force method, but the question is it the best way to go about your hiring requirements?
    Work on your strengths and outsource your non-core activities: Carol Roth
    Hire the capable, hire the willing, hire the smart, hire the hardworking: hire the best-fits who would not only take your business to the next level but also boost the morale of everyone around them. Make your next superhero hire with ZigZobs.

    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.

    “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. )
    1. Tell me something about you ??
    This can be answered in a simple way just remember these keywords :
    – 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
    So now the answer will be like that :

    ” I fell bad when someone says an incorrect English sentence ”
    ” I am focused on one thing at a time.
    3. Why should I hire you?
    A. Try to answer this question by remembering your skills, and you have to do a little buttering for the company too.
    ” You should hire me because I fit best for this role, I have the skills that are required for your company and it will be a great opportunity for me to showcase my skills to work for the growth of company and myself. ”
    4. What is your long-range objective?
    A. You can answer this in a quite simple way. ” my first objective is to work hard for the growth of the company. by this, I can eventually see my growth. I wish to be the BEST and Senior software engineer after 2 years.”

    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.
    About our Work-culture: We are a very young team with dreams. We are a flat organization and fresh ideas of destruction are always welcome.

    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.
