Random information on the term “RSVP”:
In the context of social invitations, RSVP is a process for a response from the invited person or people. It is an initialism derived from the French phrase Répondez s’il vous plaît meaning “Please respond” or literally, “Reply if you please”. The acronym “RSVP” or the phrase “Répondez s’il vous plaît” are sometimes still used in current French to require confirmation of an invitation.[better source needed] In French, however, the acronym SVP, initialism for S’il vous plaît, is used to write “please”, and RSVP could be written “répondez SVP”.
The phrase “RSVP, regrets only”, or simply “Regrets only”, is a popular modern variation that implies “if you do not reply, that will be taken as an acceptance.”
More specifically, if most invitations can be assumed to be accepted, a “regrets only” RSVP will reduce the communication required by both the host and their guests. The phrase “Regrets only” refers to the assumption that a decline will be worded with some variation of “We regret we cannot attend…”; it follows that if the guest intends to attend the event then any “regrets” must be missing from the reply.

IIT Bombay was founded in 1958. In 1961, the Parliament decreed IITs as Institutes of National Importance. A high-power committee of Government of India recommended in 1946 establishment of four higher institutes of technology to set the direction for the development of technical education in the country. Planning for the Institute at Mumbai began in 1957 and the first batch of 100 students was admitted in 1958. Since its establishment in Powai, the institute has physically expanded to include more than 584 major buildings with a combined area of more than 2.396 gross square feet (550 acres or 2.22 km²).
