NITK Awards
Welcome to the third annual NITK Awards,
where we give appreciation where it’s due, and
“constructive” criticism where it’s not.
Worst t-shirt: IEEE’s “Keep Calm” tee. Why
would anyone be in dire need of an IEEE member?
Unless, of course, they are in the process of being
electrocuted and need an electrical engineer to help
them.
Best t-shirt: Inci core (the same cannot be said for
the t-shirts they gave to the general public…)
Most viewed video: The Dancing Dean at Inci

Best nerds of the year: And we have a tie! Between
the third year GRE boys and the ECE “Nerds Gone
Wild” at Razzmatazz.
Titration: A primitive way to test your hand-eye
coordination. Less fun than Snake.
(Return) Gift of the year: Inci prizes.
Extrusion: Weight loss due to inhospitable conditions.
Best photojournalism: NITK’s win at Inter-NIT
football.
Biasing: Shifting the orientation of your netstick to get
