From CampBuzz
The naughties is over and the world heads on towards a new decade. The last decade
marked several important events and happenings which changed each and every one of us
and had an impact on the way we live. We got to keep our fingers crossed on what the
New Year, and the new decade has to offer us! Back to business, Campbuzz this time
around is filled with a lot of chilling and cool stuff keeping in view the weather we‟re ex-
periencing these days. We‟ve got a comprehensive coverage report on CEME‟s arguably
the most famous and fun-to-be-part-of sports event FUTSAL, as the second edition of this
event kicked off under cold weather to warm things up for all football fanatic Emenents.
Cricket doesn‟t lag behind and the eventful Super Six‟s tournament also gets a place in
this month‟s edition of Campbuzz. In addition to that, this time we took a seat with Assis-
tant Professor Mr. Tausif, a faculty member of DEE in the focus, and for art lovers we‟ve
got some serious poetic stuff this time by shedding some spot light on the mushaira held
at EME along with the NUDC. Keeping in view the exams season approaching, an inter-
esting survey was taken and students were asked to give their opinions on whether to
have a sessional based examination system or mid-term based. To find out what the ma-
jority opted for, check out the inner pages. In the end, a happy new decade for all the
readers of Campbuzz, may you all get what you‟re aiming for this time around. 2010, here
we come!

What exactly should be the mode of examination? Should Midterm Exams be taken or the legacy of Ses-
sional Exams be continued? What we wanted to know was the extent of polarization in the opinion ,that is,
Midterms or Sessionals . So we surveyed a bunch of random individuals on what they think . Here are the
