SLIIT Open Day 2008

Went to SLIIT after a long while , SLIIT Open Day was held on 19th and we were going to get some certificates for winning the gold in NBQSA and winning the gold in APICTA which is a good thing because as far as I can remember we didn't get any certificate other than the trophy. As usual lots of stalls from IT companies were there , people seem to like IFS because according Suckitha who was at the IFS stall there were around 300 applications. As you can expect after kicking out around 300 employees Virtuas was not that popular. Since I went to SLIIT got the transcripts as well , it wasn't easy since I had to go first floor , then to ninth floor and then back to first floor. Why can't they keep all of them in one place is a mystery to me. Well they gave us some nice big SLIIT envelopes so can't fault them that much.
The award ceremony started around 4.30 and the chief guest seems to be pretty impressed by the discipline shown by SLIIT students. How he came to that conclusion by just visiting SLIIT for two to three hours is a bit hard to understand but it was nice to see that he was impressed. I think the reason for no unnecessary incidents in SLIIT is people come here after paying.After completing the diploma they usually find a job so they simply don't have time to get involved in incidents. People who have nothing to do are usually the people who starts trouble.
Year 2007 was a good year for SLIIT , they won the NBQSA , APICTA and Techno2007. They came runners up in the imagine cup and SLIIT staff also excelled with SLIIT awarded with the best Cisco Academy in Asia or something like that. SLIIT started with a good note in 2008 as well winning the ISACA IT Security awards for the research category. And if rumours are true SLIIT have won this years NBQSA as well.
