Super Final Year beckons

The new session starts from 20 july. I have to get back to kgp by then. Now I am in my final year, oops, superfinal year in kharagpur. I am in my 5th year of this dual degree programme. Someone asked me as to how i felt being a final year student. I think it was long overdue. The only realisation, u have, once u r in ur final year is that there is only one more year left. When a person joins an engg college he thinks, chalo chaar saal ke liye life me peace ho gaya. Whatever happens he is going to stay at that place for the next 4 or 5 yrs as the case may be. However at this juncture in life I am not sure where I shall be after a year. The only thing certain is that I am going to stay at kgp for the next one year and try to enjoy as much as possible. One year hence, I might be working in some firm or if I work hard I might land up in some B school.
What I want to say is that once u come in ur final year you realise that you cannot stay at this same place forever. You have to take stock of your life and move on.People start asking u what are your future plans as ur engg days are coming to an end. You have to understand what you want and work towards it. You cannot be as carefree as u used to be.
If one wants to go for a job, Cat or for a Phd programme, one has to start in his final year. This is the time u have to take a decision and stand by it in future. In future, it shall be foollish to say that i missed an oppurtunity. This is the time to act . The final year of the engg curriculum is the most important year. This is because of the sole reason that the placements usually tale place in this year. The culmination of these four years of torture is the offer letter u get. It might not be, and is usually not upto one's expectation but nevertheless it is your first job.
With a mind full of such big thoughts and a little bit of apprehension somewhere, some remote place deep within my mind, I am about to start my 9 th semester at kgp.
