I have some strange hobbies to kill time in holidays. One of those is collecting various Advertisement MP3s and setting them as Ringtone on my mobile just to amuse people around me 
Some of them, I could get from the official site of respective companies/products and some of them were very rare to find.
I hesitate to call these MP3s as ringtones as they are just normal MP3s; some of them may contain only prose and no tone !. It’s just that I use them as ringtones
So here’s my small personal collection of Ad ringtones. All files have 128 kbps bitrate. You can play these on any device or mobile that supports MP3 playback

Here is a list of autonomous engineering colleges in Karnataka that have intake under CET. First things first, what’s an autonomous college or what is autonomy ?
Need for Autonomy :
The affiliating system of colleges was originally designed when their number in a university was small. The university could then effectively oversee the working of the colleges, act as an examining body and award degrees on their behalf.
