LIFE IN the hostels of the Harcourt Butler Technological Institute (HBTI) has become very miserable for the inmates in the absence of power and water supply. Hostel inmates are finding it difficult to prepare for the final examination scheduled from May 16.
Meanwhile, the third and the final year students are worried about the preparations for the campus interview to be started from April 29. Amidst the long hour power cut during the day and in the night, they are unable to revise their course and to think of the best presentations of their projects before the company executives.
Besides, preparing for the campus interviews, the third and the final year students have to make preparations for the forthcoming examination. However, barring a few students, the adverse situations have not deterred the career-oriented students to make all the best possible efforts to excel at the examination and at the campus interview alike.
Most of the students have changed their daily routine.
They go for sleep when the power roistering was imposed and they studied when the power supply was restored.
Some of the students residing in hostels told the Hindustan Times that for want of power during night they were unable to have a comfortable sleep and were suffering from heat syndrome. They are the victims of headache, exhaustion and nausea. But according to them they have learnt to live in such horrid situations during the past three years stay at the institute’s hostel. Only the first year students become restless but soon they too get adapted to these unfavourable situations.
Students said that in case they got good placement they would first of all extend all fiscal support to the institute for installing generators for hostel and for ensuring continuous water supply.
