Well after all I got some time to write an entry. I never knew before I joined the college what exactly this hectic study schedule would mean, given my track record I never accepted that I will follow all the rules, for me I considered myself fundu enough to live here on my own terms, but alas! I was nothing but overconfident.
The system is too rigorous for anyone to come and challenge it, I don’t know what will happen if you do, because I could never do that.
There is a difference between busy and hectic, i had my fair share of busy days during my career, but hardly experienced this hectic sort of happenings. Busy is something when you are not getting spare time, but still hopefully you are working on a single problem at hand, But here in this land of sacrosanct time limits, its hectic. what this means is that on a given day there are 5 resume submissions to be made, 2 online forms to be filled(some times they run into 10-15 pages, asking nonsensical and non relevant questions like my marks in all the subjects throughout my education, relative position/grade etc, all of my family background, even my birth place..all this given that they will definetly reject my resume after reading the first 3 lines it self, a poor MNNIT grad with a 75% marks) , add to that the ppts of companies that you have to attend and suffer, project group meetings, gyan sessions, tutorials, surprise quiz fear, and you know that you are in a virtual hell 🙂
OK this was a particularly depressing picture maybe because i had to attend two painful ppts today. there is a brighter side as well, you get great subjects and profs, huge learning opportunities and if looking from a different perspective a challenging schedule as well.
Like sometimes when i have to run hard to reach the lecture room in time, I love it, it reminds me of my school/college days 🙂
