Microsoft Student Partner
Hello there! Welcome to THE blog..the latest buzz in JNCT, bhopal.Starting off,what IS this huge MSP thing which has caught our college off the hooks?
To begin with, MSP stands for MICROSOFT Student Partner. And yes, I am one.
The one question every ones’s been asking me is:How On Earth Did You Become an MSP?Well I chose to write it down once and for all (my throat has begun paining with all the answering repeatedly).Here it is:

Microsoft organized a competition inviting technical students ( passing out in the year 2010 or later), who are passionate about technology, to apply for the Microsoft Student Partner (in short, MSP) examination.By sheer luck,or shall i call it destiny, a generous friend informed me about it.I applied for the exam,got shortlisted,went off to Indore to appear for the next level which was a written test comprising analytical ability,verbal ability,c programming and computer science concepts. Having cleared the writtten test, I submitted my resume and went on for the GD round which lasted for 30 min.The results were declared on the 1st of nov ‘08. And voila! I was chosen as an MSP.

For people who wish to become an MSP,there is always a next exam,to be held next year.For those who dont have the time or inclination to wait for the next year,there is also a wild card entry (it requires a little hard work) wherin you have to participate and drive atleast 10 entries in the IT Challenge Cup.For more details visit http://www.imaginecup.com/ and http://www.student-partners.com/
( Again a Microsoft endeavour, the Imaginecup ’09 finals are going to be held in Egypt. More about it in d next post. Meanwhile it will be beneficial for u to visit the above website.)Having thus become an MSP, my main job would be to organize and conduct seminars in my(yours too, if u please) college ,with microsoft lending its full support obviously.

Good Luck!!!!!


But the first and foremost task ahead of us is to build a technical student commmunity in our university. And THIS is where you guys come in.I have spoken to our Head of Department,faculty members etc etc and they is more than willing to lend us support. All we have to do is1. Come together. Irrespective of our streams,sections and grades/years and personal backgrounds.
2. And register! I’ll soon be circulating a list wherein u will have to fill in your basic personal details i.e. name,contact nos. etc(only for the genuinely interested people.no mischief makers allowed here)
3. Donot ask whether our college will give u a certificate for this!! It might , if you insist.AND if we are active members of our communtiy. but one thing is for sure,it will definitely look good on our resume!!! But please, it is high time we stop attaching so much importance to a piece of paper. Instead , look at the other things /incentives it has to offer - ranging from free software downloads to informative seminars to providing our college with an MSDN AA and what not!! (wait n watch!)
4. Contribute in our own little ways- It might be as simple as pinning up posters on the notice board to more complex ones like handling the technical aspects of the seminar arrangements.
5. Inform our friends and colleagues by word of mouth /mail about the new community which we have begun building.
6. Think of a good name for our new technical community. Yes,your opinions count and they are welcome!
Lastly, I’d like to bring to our notice that this is a very low time as far as the IT industry is concerned. We need to rise above our everyday mundane tasks and do something fruitful that benefits us in the long run. The wise dont need to be told twice
