Ragging



In IIT Kharagpur ragging is called as OP(orientation programme) practically speaking. But the main thing is it happens only in second year. The first year students are not entertained by seniors in any manner which is a good thing as it has been seen that students need time to settle down at start of college.

The most important rule of OP is not to speak about it . So no first years need to worry about anything and enjoy :)

Also there is a kgp lingo which is essential to understand any conversation going on with seniors. In the beginning it is generally published in college newspapers.

OP takes place in hall , department , and in societies ( if you'r in any ). But it can be simply said as a way to test people for their Hall(hostel) fundas. Ragging here also varies from hall to hall .
Generally people give ragging to get to know each other and also know seniors.

OP in hostels is of 4 types :
1) Common room OP
2) Mess OP
3) Wing OP
4) Secy OP(for those who are standing for any post in halls)

Well first years try to avoid seniors but i suggest instead they should interact with seniors as there are many things which you have to ask from them. Besides it gives certain advantage to them at time of OP for recommendation for any posts in Spring fest, Shaurya or Kshitij.

Well the most important thing in KGP is hall tempo and OP is booster for hall tempo , thats it .


Also if anyone wants to ask and discuss something please comment...

    What all do we have to take there (apart from clothes) when you are going for UG?
    Is it helpful to maintain a low profile during the first year?
    do robberies happen in the hostel?

    Thankyou in advance

Khoj

Khoj is the first event in IIT kgp when first years come out of their rooms and interact with each other on an institute level event conducted by AZAD hall of residence. In this game basically all the freshers are allowed to participate(1st year UG, 1st year M.tech, 1st year of MBA or any other fresher). Basically, Khoj is the most exciting event in kgp. Everyone enjoys it and gets an opprtunity to see campus. In this event mostly 15 clues are present and the team who gets all clues first wins. The clues are spread throughout the campus at different popular places(except main building and professors' house). These clues are given to each team as a hint in form of a phrase and each phrase refers to a place. At corresponding place a code is written which has to be noted down and given to registration desk of khoj to get next clue.  Around 1000 people participate in this event and closing ceremony is generally held around 10:30 which is simply awesome.
